That's true for most but not all crypto currencies.
PirateChain for instance only allow hidden transactions after the coins are first mined.

And it is not the only one, Monero is the biggest privacy focused coin.
ZCash and Verus both support hidden transaction aswell but don't mandate them.

Comment IPv6 is probably cool, but who uses it? (Score 1) 287

I have been looking at IPv6 every now and then since 1999, to keep up and be prepared for when I actually need it.
I even looked into migrating my home-network to IPv6 just to see how it worked. Never did though.
Almost every computer today has IPv6 installed and activated, but never used.

Who uses it?
Does anybody know a network where it is used?
There's a lot of talk about China, but the servers I have configured there used IPv4 only.

And if address space is the main driving factor, why not just expand that part of IPv4 and be done with it?

An anonymous reader writes "IBM has published a research paper describing an initiative called Project Kittyhawk, aimed at building "a global-scale shared computer capable of hosting the entire Internet as an application." Nicholas Carr describes the paper with the words "Forget Thomas Watson's apocryphal remark that the world may need only five computers. Maybe it needs just one." Here is the original paper."

Submission + - Microsoft bought Swedens ISO vote on OOXML ?

a_n_d_e_r_s writes: The vote on OOXML looked fairly secured for a No vote in Sweden. Most in the Working Group In Sweden was against the vote to approve OOXML. Suddenly on the day of the vote more companies showed up at the door, some 20 more companies — each one payed about $2500 to be allowed to vote — and vote they did. Most of the new companies was strangely enough partners from Microsoft who suddenly out of the blue joined the working group, payed membership fees and voted yes for approval.

From being a fairly negative group the working group suddely had a huge majority of yay-sayers who voted for Sweden to approve OOXML as an ISO standard.

For those that want to buy the Swedish vote on an ISO standard — it only cost about $50 000 — its not too much money for anyone that want there own bought and payed for ISO standard.

This has started to brew in Sweden and the newspapers are right now starting to write about the coup against the SIS — Swedens Standards Institute http://www.sis.se/ . The workings groups position can be changed if the power to be at SIS wants to — so its not over yet.
