> 1. Software that he uses actually encrypts wallets (BitcoinQT by default does not!). Are you sure about that? Can you point to a discussion where it says BitcoinQT doesn't encrypt by default. Googling found me nothing.

We don't know any of those things. That's why it would be higher risk to start mining it. The rewards might be huge or they might be nil.

The computing power directed at bitcoin is already huge. You would need to persuade those miners (who also verify transactions don't forget) to switch to your new coin. If they stop mining bitcoins then they fall behind their competito

I was thinking along similar lines today, but geared more towards proof of title.

i := 3 means declare i to be an "int", which is the default numeric type. The size of that int will vary from platform to platform. See http://golang.org/ref/spec#Numeric_types

You have these backwards. The definition I gave of introvert is the accepted/technical/actual definition. Myers Briggs use the word introversion to capture a concept that is much wider than introvert. For example it makes claims a

Note that this is from 2009. Although the main details have not changed, the int type is more commonly 64 bits now (since 64 bit architectures are much more common)

Maybe you are fighting the wrong battle. Instead of trying to "unlearn" Aspergers, perhaps you should accept it and fight for understanding by others.

Breaking the encryption on bitcoin is like the hunt for the philosopher's stone. We know it's possible to transmute elements into gold, but doing it on a scale capable of disrupting the market is beyond our reach currently.

That's the first I've heard of Aspergers being a learned behaviour. Can you link somewhere that I can read more about that.

I disagree and the article is based on a category error. The words introvert and extrovert are defined to be classifications of people not particular traits exhibited by those people. extrovert: an outgoing, socially confident person introv

Deposits for USD are fine. If that gets stolen then their insurers and their bank's insurers will rectify the situation. Perhaps namecheap are offering the same protections for bitcoin deposits, I haven't looked at their TOS.

Great that they are supporting bitcoin but encouraging people to deposit coins to build a balance at namecheap is the wrong way to go about it. Bitcoin's sweet spot is in making payments trivial, no need for a balance held on their ser

As far as I know, this is untested in court for online documents. There is an argument that says that each HTTP request is an act of publication, thus updating the copyright date to that point in time. It's not a view I subscribe to pe

They make money on game licensing for sure, but the economics of consoles is based on the falling cost of production over the lifetime of the console. That's why consoles have 5+ year lifespans.
