Dave Kleiman. See also https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcasetext.com%2Fcase%2Fkleiman-v-wright-14 - where did all those Bitcoins come from?

Actually there's plenty of reasons to believe Dave wasn't, but until there's a better candidate I'm going with him. The man was Army, supposedly an ex-fed, was on the proper mailing lists to be Satoshi, and knew his stuff when it came to security, given how often he was a technical editor or contributor: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FDave_Kleiman%23Publications

If Satoshi were not dead (as Kleiman is, passed in 2013) how could he resist doing something with the billions of dollar of Bitcoin he would have, at least moving them around to another wallet?
Also, Dave Kleiman's specialty was Windows security - the first release of Bitcoin was Windows only? https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FMaguines%2FBitcoin-v0.1%2Ftree%2Fmaster%2Fbitcoin0.1

Keeping my betting chips there for now.

As Fully Ramblomatic (the original name for ZP from before The Escapist) with the Second Wind Group (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2F%40SecondWindGroup) which is comprised of the ex-Escapist staff - very excited to see how much they have gotten up and running in the last couple days since the mass exodus!

Depending on the crypto, you are absolutely right that there is inflation due to more coins being minted. Those APYs are also generally an average, you don't get a set percentage every staking period, it depends on the # of transactions processed on the chain.

This is why for example all those random coins on PancakeSwap are such a bad idea. I wouldn't say they are outright scams, but even paying a >10% APY for a short time as a teaser is a sign that there is huge inflation risk to any investment there.

Some coins have implemented token burning as a means to reduce the number of coins in circulation; ETH is probably the most well known for having had at least some success doing this. The main crypto where there actually is a fixed amount of coins is of course BTC; but that chain has the terrible inefficiencies of Proof of Work. Authorities are going to have to figure out Proof Of Stake regulation, because that's the only (currently) viable consensus mechanism that doesn't have disastrous ecological implications.

No, this is just something Googlers do whenever there is a changelist that does something either controversial or very popular/unpopular. There is a lot of trolling and (mostly) good natured fun that happens with code reviews, I assume in all large tech companies, but definitely at Google. Even after the disappointing layoff.

Except the experience on Stadia (as someone who tried both) is SUBSTANTIALLY better. Everyone always tries to compare the two but the actual experience is vastly different, from a latency perspective anyway. OnLive's latency was enough to cause me motion sickness (which IIRC was also fibre optic internet) after as little as 10 minutes. I have played over 2 hours sessions in Stadia and not felt any ill effects, and am fairly sensitive to such things.

Stadia can always stand to be improved, but it's starting from a MUCH better place than OnLive did.
