Tux has really slimmed up for sure. Let's be honest and say Jed's the real Teflon Don MVP unloading the MtGox shitshow on Mark, doing the ripple thing, selling that chainless shitcoin to banks and rinsing and repeating again with Stellar.
Shotcut and openshot crash less for me in general under linux, maybe I should give kdenlive a chance again after reading about the GUI fuzzing progress. My experience has been that kdenlive is prone to crashing and saving your project often is a must
Also for any user thinking of switching to or starting with Kdenlive, they should know that in addition to crashing often (as reported by many users) it also does not support a relatively common video editing feature as multiple timelines. In Kdenlive, in one project/file, you are only given a single timeline to do all your editing in. You cannot nest them, combine them, there are no timelines to combine, there is only one of them.
Since this will be a dealbreaker for many users, they should know this upfront.
All respect to open source software, but for many projects using Kdenlive is just not an option as of yet.
Very true and another advantage for shotcut. Layering and multiple timelines is the defining feature between "oh look it's Windows Movie Maker, except worse" and a quality non linear editor.
I've definitely grown cynical but I will try out kdenlive and see if it has matured. Shotcut has been my Linux go-to for several years now.
For now in the refactoring version you are able to copy-paste clips between open instances. Multiple timelines and nesting are on the roadmap but only after finishing the refactoring and then adding advanced trimming tools.
Although Kdenlive has had its fair share of crashes, maybe of them happen due to bad packaging, mostly by using wrong MLT version. Using the AppImage is a good solution.
This phenomenon of "mysterious Bitcoin miner smashing your shitcoin" was pretty common in the early days, especially around the time namecoin merged mining came into play. Any theoretical attack that might be possible on Bitcoin would be attempted elsewhere if you didn't have the hashpower to carry it out on mainnet.
Origin of the term shitcoin would most likely be unable to defend the 51% attack
there's no reason to hold any stablecoin other than speculation (is it really really worth an equivalent fiat unit) or temporal liquidity. This whole concept of a stablecoin is fallacy unless you think it might serve some liquidity or velocity purpose.
Freshwater speculation in the future is going to make a lot of people rich, given the current undervalued nature of fresh, clean, drinkable water. The kind that sustains life.
GPUs are just as power hungry as CPUs (keccak/sha3/sha2/cryptonight; it's going to draw more power). Monetizing your user base via any type of proof-of-work at this point is just plain stealing electricity IMHO, unless your user base is an ASIC farm or working some unheard-of cryptocoin with a low mining difficulty.
I ran 16 GPUs on Bitcoin for 18-24 months when it made sense to do so. I pool hopped to game rewards and had failover bitcoind solo nodes for when pools got DDoS'd. There was a time when it made sense, but ultimately GPUs got priced out.
The people who are chasing this dream are quite literally 6 or 7 years late to the profit margin vs. electrical efficiency equation in terms of Bitcoin and maybe 18 months too late for Monero. That's the evolution of all POW mining, electrical efficiency.
Liquidated enough bitcoin in February of this year to payoff my mortgage. Owe a significant amount in taxes next year. Token investment from 2013 paid off, was time to exit based on articles like this.
Never shilled or advised others to "invest" because the best time to sell is when everyone else is buying and I understand how pyramid schemes work.
Got took for a ride in every major ponzi, scam, etc prior to 2014 seeking interest... greed. Hello, hi! HN - I know you don't like the bitcoins.
