Would you stop wasting time on the internets and just take out the trash ? While at it, can you bring upstairs the mirror in the garage ? I may have a cookie for you.

Because usually if they offer this is because they want to get rid of you and your team. And if they do, there's not much do there anymore. So unless you're there solely for money, you won't stay there any longer and take th

I really don't get the point of password estimators that need to send the password server side. I may as well just not have a password then.

I certainly can't burn the dollars in my bank account. Not directly anyway. I have to go somewhere and take cash out which then I can burn, assuming the bank has that kind of money available when I attempt it and assuming I will be all

If you find no value in a distributed zero trust public ledger you probably are not appreciating enough the internet.

“The internet is just a fad” … Newsweek, Feb. 26, 1995 I grant you, just like with the Internet there is a transition point where to get on the internet you have to pay high fees (similar to exchange fees) but once internet is cheap and eve

Mark my words: The US regulators will do to Bitcoin what they have done to the Internet ecommerce, i.e. providing strong incentives like reduced taxes and simplified rules. There are plenty of new bitcoin merchant and users every day and th

I really dislike DigitalOcean. Terrible customer services. And do not give them a way to bill you automatically, use something like paypal when YOU are in control and can just not buy the credit and run out.

And if they had already built the largest cluster of asics in the btc network we wouldn't even know as long as they distribute it enough and even join most pools for good measure.

I'm spoiled but I went with a das keyboard. And or cherry is also good. Model M is a good alternative, a bit heavy and I miss having the windows button which I use as function key.

Why would I spend bitcoin when the value is soaring? Because I have no alternatives eventually. See, let's say i start out with 5k worth of bitcoin and 5k worth of USD. The bitcoin go up in value while the USD go down via QE. As you su

They can invalidate as much as get invalidated, this gets balanced out, so how is it an advantage ? It could easily be detected by nodes by checking the age of the transactions inside the block. An honest node block would contain more recen

Do you have to wait 20 years for that? Isn't rt and presstv reporting exactly this today ?

no but i guess it takes time to find out, and the studies are often financed by the companies like monsanto them selves. Which is not to say that they publish ALL these studies, they are not legally bound to. Shame.

Yeah ok but this is not regional, this is global. It has done quite well so far and I can't think of a better global currency with no one controlling it and with the same utility as today. Maybe gold a long time ago but still doesn't fully

Could you explain why would I ever want to use a centralized currency like that ? It can't be trusted.

Yeah I'm sure some people do exaggerate. However mtgox is a toy system and it has been attacked for a while on the recent days, it creates lag and panics. Anyhow, there's a correction every once in a while. It then goes higher than before,

There was a DDoS, as there has been an on going one for quite a while now and you can find so on the mtgox website news section. However it was not a DDoS in the classical sense that brought mtgox down to its knees but nonetheless a DDoS ha
