These numbers are based off the current price of hashrate. As soon as you try to buy significant amounts for larger currencies like Bitcoin, the numbers skyrocket. The nice-hashable column on the site shows how much hash power is available

it wouldn't be a flash crash if there was no demand. it would be a crash. the flash crash happened because there was insufficient liquidity on one exchange - as soon as the market sought to fill the gaps, it went right back up.

for day to day usage not all the data needs to be kept. for example, you could keep just the unspent outputs (instead of all previous transactions). But yes, some archival nodes would be needed to keep the entire history.

this is really the interesting point of the article for me. it could be the first cryptocoin actively used based for rewards/sponsorships etc. See http://ltbcoin.com/ as an example.

you could also "make change" by exchanging ownership of the $100 address for 5 $20 addresses, and change those down into 10 $2 addresses each. there's very little cost of executing this algorithm several times over for a &quo

Even in it's current form, your grandma's wallet balance would resemble that of her BoA checking account, where the spendable amount would be a total of the easily-redeemable (Pay to pubkey hash) transactions. More complex transac

while in theory possible, this approach has not been done because it is said to be a slippery slope down the lines of being against "bitcoin neutrality". once the feature exists to treat one set of coins different from another, it

Based on what I have heard, the issue was caused by a bad active directory GPO that caused firewall rules to refuse DNS requests. Neither outlook/xbox/etc would have had any control over it. I heard that the issue has since been s

People ARE buying/selling on Mtgox at 600. However, the price is not "real" because it is inflated by the inability to withdraw USD from Mtgox. What is happening is that people are buying BTC on Mtgox and then transferring it

As it stands now, WP8 is the incumbent. If all developers applied the "pay us to make it for your new platform" attitude, it doesn't bode well for newcomers. Also, the tone used can be taken in bad taste, since this was a kic

one of the things i liked about Microsoft is that you can move teams (pretty) easily. i myself have had different experiences/practices in both the teams i was a part of.

Thanks for that. I'm still working in a "dotcom". Soon, I hope to be working with the likes of you. Could you go a little more into your transition from match.com to yc-startup, the sacrifices and challenges along your way?

This week many of the stability issues were mitigated, and I began to enjoy my game. To be honest, while I didn't ask for the multiplayer features, they were a bonus when they worked. I could even ignore the DRM if the game worked. But post

A confirmation dialog is something one would expect in a consumer-facing app - and it isn't difficult to build. I'd be interested to know what their design decision was not to do that.

If nothing else, the fact that he wrote this letter suggests that he knows to some extent what went wrong. I'd argue it is better to work with someone who has made mistakes before (and will be less likely to make them again) than someone wh

The question is, if Google sold the Nexus (say, $329 from $299) with a slight markup to raise their support, would you still buy it?

Great piece. What is important to know is that it is not over. I hope there will be a part 2 somewhere in the future - telling of the comeback!

Personally, this is fine with me. I don't tend to trust commercials where people "use the thing", e.g. Apple's Siri commercial. It is just too easy to show off a few "happy path" scenarios in 30 seconds.

Exactly. Tablets/Netbooks have been going down in price for some time, so while this is cheap by hardware standards, I would take into account the hidden costs - that many users will need to shell out ~$30 a month on data plans. So this $25

I'm not saying the poster got the job because she was a girl (or not), but the bottom line (imo) is that you have to play the hand you're dealt. Some people are born rich, into high society etc and some are not. I don't see people unhappy t
