Spam comments and how you can avoid to let them come through

Dennis

While Akismet does work already pretty good as a blog spam comment filter, it is sometimes necessary to drop some spam comments manually into the wordpress spam folder, so that Akismet can learn about new spam to filter out spam comment even better in the future. I´d say that Akismet can already filter out 95% of the junk comments but there are always some comments coming through, which I would call the 5% of the new blog spammers who are not in the list of Akismet´s database yet. It is not much work to teach Akismet that it is a … Continue reading Spam comments and how you can avoid to let them come through

Bitcoin, the Decentralized peer-to-peer Digital Currency

Dennis

Video source: bitcoin.org What is a Bitcoin? Interested in new technology, I came across the Bitcoin topic some time ago. Bitcoins are a decentralized peer-to-peer (transferred from person to person) digital currency which means there is no central authority like banks or governments behind the currency and the transaction process is done by a network of private computers. The users of these computers, the “miners” get recompensed with transaction fees and newly created Bitcoins. But the systems of all the worldwide Bitcoin miners have to solve a complex math problem first and the algorithm leads over time to the case … Continue reading Bitcoin, the Decentralized peer-to-peer Digital Currency
