Improved `delegatecall` proxy contract factory (Solidity) [v0.0.5]
/***
* Shoutouts:
*
* Bytecode origin https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/6ic49q/any_assembly_programmers_willing_to_write_a/dj5ceuw/
* Modified version of Vitalik's https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/6c1jui/delegatecall_forwarders_how_to_save_5098_on/
* Credits to Jorge Izquierdo (@izqui) for coming up with this design here: https://gist.github.com/izqui/7f904443e6d19c1ab52ec7f5ad46b3a8
* Credits to Stefan George (@Georgi87) for inspiration for many of the improvements from Gnosis Safe: https://github.com/gnosis/gnosis-safe-contracts
*
* This version has many improvements over the original @izqui's library like using REVERT instead of THROWing on failed calls.
* It also implements the awesome design pattern for initializing code as seen in Gnosis Safe Factory: https://github.com/gnosis/gnosis-safe-contracts/blob/master/contracts/ProxyFactory.sol

Actual TPS of Bitcoin

Counting on-chain transactions alone to illustrate pretty much anything is wrong. One should take into account at least TX batching.

A possibly better way is to calculate based on new UTXOs created excluding the change outputs.

Doing rough calculations, we assume the worst case of every TX having a change output, so the results are the most pessimistic version and actual numbers are better.

Month TXs UTXOs created Net UTXOs [1] Naive TPS [2] Actual TPS [3]

⚠️ this is now stupidly out of date

Peripherals

- Inexplicable perversity of human nature.
- The clever machinations of MongoDB's marketing people.
- The AGPL license killed it.
- We spent too long development before monetizing.
- Bad performance.
- Numeric types limited to a 64-bit `float`.
- Great product, but didn't/couldn't translate to revenue.
- Bad business model.
- Failure in timezones/timestamp nuances.

Abstract

The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of events witnessed, but proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power.

connect.js explained
// connect() is a function that injects Redux-related props into your component.
// You can inject data and callbacks that change that data by dispatching actions.
function connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps) {
// It lets us inject component as the last step so people can use it as a decorator.
// Generally you don't need to worry about it.
return function (WrappedComponent) {
// It returns a component
return class extends React.Component {

This wrapper script *should* enable GHC 7.* to work on systems with Xcode 5. To use it, drop this script somewhere, make it executable, and run.... Then follow the instructions it prints out. What it will do is, instruction you to put a copy in /usr/bin, then re-run it sudo. It will then find all your GHC 7 settings files, and patch them to make…
