What was the reason to first migrate and then repair data? Repair scripts could've been ran against the old setup too and you would've had less stuff to migrate.

Merkle tree code that helps run Bitcoin was written by a grandpa aged person, cryptographic nonces were created by grandpas also and Satoshi and Hal Finney were of the grandpa group too. This generation can thank the last three generations no less, for the opportunity of cryptocurrency.

I don't think this is a joke, but it should be. Forking a chain will never result in value-added.

Ethereum forked and both have gone up since. I can't say it will always result in a value-add, but certainly never is incorrect.

Litecoin is the oldest fork of Bitcoin, and arguably it adds value (with shorter confirmation times)

fork in codebase, not fork in chain. mutually exclusive genesis blocks and different proof of work algorithms. Its like its little silver brother!

fuel for the ETH/ETC fire =P

> Gitter requires MongoDB, Redis, ElasticSearch and Neo4J

Why use one database when you can use four!

Do you think they should store account data in redis?

Or maybe they should use the ever-so-performant MongoDB as their cache, that'll work out great.

Actually, scratch that, Gitter should probably store all its relational data in ElasticSearch because why use one database when you can use four?.
