What's with the terrible names in Bitcoin land? When deciding what to name your Bitcoin site, anything with the word "bit" or "coin" in it should be avoided. Please! Otherwise, you just join the list of other unmemo

I see what he's saying. Maybe not "black swan", but it's pretty crazy. A Dark Room reminds me of a BBS door game from the late 80's. It blows my mind that this became the #1 app. Now, if it was Cookie Clicker (basic

This is only what is currently being minted every 8.2 days. I predict the price will go up due to the media attention - this is a very cool story, expect lots of news coverage. When/if a Silk Road based movie ever comes out, expect &qu

Human nature. Hoarding, speculation, pain-avoidance ("could have/should have" 10yrs from now)... emotion. It's wonderful! The price is a reflection on our thought processes.

If you liked XTree, there's http://www.ztree.com It's been in active development for... as long as I can remember. Think XTree on steroids. Norton Commander was neat, but XTree blew it away.

This is just another scam coin. Not decentralized at all: "Chancecoin uses New York Lottery Quick Draw numbers to resolve bets." There's no reason you couldn't get randomness from the blockchain itself - the act of findi

So why don't we have full blown graphics/widgets in the terminal? I'm thinking a hybrid console meets explorer: When I type "ls *.png", why don't I get a sortable table? Or, if I mouseover a filename, get a pre

I find it interesting you are using kickstarter to fund this, when everyone (and their dog) seems to get ridiculous amounts of BTC thrown at them when they post their project ideas to bitcointalk. Why not raise funds in BTC? Also, in this t

Check out Duplicati - same idea as duplicity, but in active development, main developer posts to his support group frequently, overall very solid
