danoprey - it's not clear to me what the URL is for when creating a new ledger. Can you clarify?

Given the number of yeses - currently zero versus 131 noes - Amazon hopefully has a different target market in mind.

I think you are agreeing with your parent post. He's pointing out that BitTorrent is better then FTP and the reason it is better is because of the decentralisation, thus addressing rdl's claim that his digital currency was better

What are the legal consequences for Microsoft if the US government succeeds in forcing them to bring this data over from Ireland? Won't Microsoft then be in breach of Irish law? What does a company do if forced to choose between breaki

It's not just a record. It is public and untamperable, and could form the core of vote verification. I didn't imagine voting to be like spending a bitcoin. Although that could work too. Issue every voter a single indivisible vot

I agree that you need to know that voters aren't voting twice (assuming one voter one vote), but that doesn't mean that a blockchain isn't the way forward. If keys are issued / signed centrally, then there's no way

It says "Enter your 12 word passphrase" at their bitcoin wallet login prompt. Hard core.

Unfortunately it doesn't support Windows 8 because of the UEFI problem.

Spell "tent", spell "tamed" spell "taint". Every time I replay the noise I'm still unable to distinguish between these three possibilities. I'm not sure what you want me to spell. The algorithm to con

Not really true, as you don't get much by suing a company that is in liquidation.

I agree - I'm impressed with the NHS on their detailed and rapid response. I was pleasantly surprised.

Nice, but what if you want to rotate it but not change the current time?

I read your comment and thought, yes it would be absurd to apply this to cash and therefore it seems also absurd to apply it to bitcoin. However, there are people who would like bitcoin to fail, perhaps because they are part of the establis

I think very few people would actually like using a desktop version, because it breaks your workflow. Anyone who is prepared to hand over money for something like this ideally wants it integrated into their current writing environment, be t

Nonplussed is a dreadful word. It means either: 1) so surprised and confused that one is unsure how to react; 2) not disconcerted; unperturbed. Definitions 1 and 2 are opposites. So, is he perturbed or not? "This is totally weird"

I too cannot believe it. Often companies trying to recruit have jobs pages on their website that add extra barriers for a direct candidate - registration, cover letter, extra forms, contract roles not listed. This is tantamount to encouragi

Yes I think you are right. There are people who would be interested in renting probably relatively small spaces under certain conditions that are not full leases. For example a spare room to a friend for a beer, or indeed, a basement to a s

But even if he hadn't said it, it would still have been true.

I don't think arguing about definitions is pointless, although it often turns out that way. Take, for example, the classic "if a tree falls in a forest and no-one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?". Resolving this q
