It isn't possible, but you can choose which subs where you want to subscribe.

There will be a moderated list of subs (maintained by the main developer), but users will be free to try to find an join even the most controversial ones.



It isn't a "democracy", votes have a different weight based on the past participation on the specific community sub.


Maybe you should refresh your browser cache.


I am also unable to download and I doubt _my_ cache is the issue as I've never visited this site before. Is anyone able to download the Windows client (or any other)?


> Is anyone able to download the Windows client

Yeah, but with the same result as what another poster said

> Downloaded and installed, but no content has loaded in last 30min.

As of yet, the github page says

> Aether 2 last version: 2.0.0 (currently non-functional, in development) [..] (Not yet working, 80% complete)

and the last commit was 2 months ago :(

edit: this is how the page looks to me: https://i.imgur.com/2tsW5zv.png


The github isn't updated currently, I've also asked the dev about the update of the source code

Maybe there is an issue with the dns.

Those are the current links to download

Just as I was going to say "maybe it's my router", I checked the app again and saw it has loaded content, yay :)


Thank you, very helpful :)


Yep, Wire is better even just because of this possibility, but even this project is interesting :)

I hope to see it soon on my lovely iphone!


For the record I know HostFat does not have an iPhone and he is a friend. I think.


They are probably testing the soil


I think the farfetched idea is; PayPal wants a stake in it if it happens but can't endorse it by publicly talking about it.So using eBay's brand makes more sense.


You can instant accept any bitcoin value that is lower to the investment to do the 51% attack or similar. Example: no one is going to make a 51% attack to steal only 10 bitcoin from a vending machine.

Simply put a limit, or just say to the user that any amount of bitcoin over X will need Y time to get verified. Anything lower that X amount will be instantly processed.


Doesn't it require ~10 minutes to solidify into the record to prevent double-spending without having the 51% attack?


Correct - there are various attack vectors besides the 51% attack. Ideally, a transaction shouldn't be closed until there have been 2 confirmations.
