As soon as mining becomes "uneconomical" you will revert to the point that the only miners are 100-1000 geeks around the globe doing it for fun. That is still enough computing power to make the network moderately secure. Entities with a ves

Only the people who are doing the pumping are going to dump at that point. By the point it is valuable, there will be many more people who (probably) stay around - bitcoin will hopefully be well established by then.

The biggest concern to me - given two competitors, the one who delays their product to market while they get patents wins. I want a patent system that I can safely ignore without someone else later 'inventing' the same thing as me and takin

The problem is that each set of middle managers cannot represent the bandwidth required to express the problem to their subordinates or the solution to their superiors. At the top, you have a board of 10 people. Each one of these is making

Cute, I like it. You should consider some simple avenues to get sales before paying the huge equity cost of getting someone else to do it for you. - Get all of your friend's employers to use it (even within subsets of their business) - Writ

Yes, the "invent a cool codec / protocol, live on the royalties" business model would be difficult without patents. However, there are a lot of very smart people who invent formats and don't patent them. For instance the JPEG format is clev

I just read the entire block of text. I found it informative. If I was in the market for new work it would have converted me.

The advantage of Amazon EC2 is that it doesn't go down when your laptop turns off.

My sincere congratulations on your "first failure" - I hope you continue to look back on this ending as the beginning of an exciting new journey. I too feel driven all the time. Perhaps too much. I spend a lot of time feeling guilty about n

I'm hopeful that such a meme would quickly die off, leaving that individual back where they started. If they are good at riding memes, perhaps their comments have value. But you make a good point.

Exciting idea. I'd jump on board if I was "single" and in the US. I love the viral nature of the service - you have to tell your friends about it so they will contribute their clips to your movie. It would be cool if you had some great plac
