With enough automation it could become passive. Then again with enough automation everything becomes passive.

927 people controlling 50% of all BitCoins is better than it was at the beginning, with 1 person controlling 100% of all BitCoins. So it already has gotten better. I see no reason to believe that BitCoins won't diffuse further, given

Why? The more mainstream investors come on, the more people will have a stake in BitCoin, the less single individuals can influence or manipulate the price, the more points of failure there are, the more stable it will be. I have a fidelity

To me vim means 'text editor.' This is a really awesome command-driven 3d Modeller. It's great but is it really a vim clone? It offers a big improvement over the GUI of 3d modellers. 3d modellers interfaces are way, way, way,

I really wish Apple, for instance, would enable the same process/network namespacing that enables LXC to work. I'm not sure what the state of Windows is with respect to virtual network namespaces and process namespaces and control

Well, if he just leaves this running, assuming the same level of profitability it is 17k a year of passive income...definitely worth keeping up if possible. as the exchange rate goes up it should become even more profitable.

Mostly hoarding/investing, but some times I put me prospecting goggles on and head out for the BitCoin hills!

Count me among you, but I'm also a rabid hoarder of BitCoins, so something in me must be a little libertarian.

It's the libertarian mindset. It is more hyper-vigilant and suspicious than the liberal mindset. You'll find that left-leaning people and right-leaning people have, at a very basic level, a different philosophy about other people.

There's probably a middle way here....How about "Everyone who wants to code should learn how to code?" That sounds about right, and hey, it's exactly how it already is! I'm kind of torn on this because I know that a

I think it's going to be pretty wild for the next few days/weeks because of the China news. I would sell at $777 and wait for the ride to be over before I bought in again. I got out earlier today at $900 anticipating the China new

When is the bubble going to burst? I'm just asking because I've been told it's been coming for years, yet BitCoin is now many thousands of percent more valuable than it was when I was first told that it was another tulip bul

They are way understating the growth potential of a currency that has unlimited growth potential because it knows no borders, and serves as a new technological platform.

The Feds eventually send it back to themselves and convert the BitCoins into dollars once they have all the information they need in evidence. So they don't permanently leave the supply. The BitCoins they were able to seize, that is.

Yay! Another article where the older generation shits on a younger generation. Is it possible - and this is just me talking here - that maybe our generation isn't composed of a bunch of emotional weaklings who can't bear the stres

If the defense is worth his or her salt he could have a witness who talks about Shamir's paper and how even thorough analyses of the BlockChain have been inconclusive and error-prone, thus casting doubt on whatever the state's wit

Oh my god, stop being ridiculous. Parallel construction is not fabricating evidence. It is constructing a case that uses only evidence obtained through criminal warrants so that no classified information is leaked in the process of prosec

There's no flaw. It's called arbitrage. If enough people do it expect the gap to narrow, though. It just takes too much time to buy bitcoins with dollars/sell with dollars on some of these exchanges, which is why this is poss

One person could do it - but along with coming up with the exact solution to the global view problem, did they? Moreover is Szabo such a good programmer that Dan Kaminskey's auditing of the code for security holes would have caused him

Finney had the technical chops, Dai had b-money, and Szabo had the economic knowledge. They've each done a lot of misdirection to the other two in order to draw attention away from them. This lets them each say "I am not Satoshi N

From a limited experience with either of their writings, I don't think it's Szabo. I've read a lot of Satoshi's emails and Satoshi's writing style seems at the same time less academically formal but also more techni

Yes, I believe if someone sells a large quantity of BitCoins at once it can trigger a big sell-off. Certainly groups of two or three who all sell fairly large quantities of BitCoins around the same time, even just by coincidence, can trigge

The more people who use BitCoin the less volatile it will be, the more BitCoin tokens will be spread across a large number of individual actors, the less a single actor can dictate price fluctuations.

Does anyone have a cached version of this? I want to find out if regular folks are doomed or not, and I can't because clearly this blog is hosted on a single-instance WordPress host or something.

The machines of the future will convert energy into wealth. They will do this by performing a large number of automated tasks for us. We will not have to work - it will be redundant to work.

Well MtGox clearly has a problem with USD withdrawals, which is why this arbitrage opportunity exists in the first place and doesn't seem to be closing. If they fix the USD withdrawal problem, which I suspect they will do as they start

Well, in the future I'm thinking about, even the few would have very little to do operating the machinery that performs all of these tasks automatically. When given a choice between being one of the many and being one of the few, I usu
