Maybe there's also some reporter bias at play? Maybe people who are generally happy with their job don't feel the need as much to write long blog posts about it?

This isn't the 90's. Downloading and installing software really isn't a thing anymore for a lot of people.

What is stopping people from setting up multiple pools and getting 50% that way? How do you really know all those pool operators are actually different people? For a 'trustless' system, it seems like you need to place an awful lot

It's a waste because Bitcoin's entire transaction volume could easily be handled by a single raspberry pi on a Starbucks Wi-Fi connection. The price of Bitcoin is dictated by greed and speculation, not by its utility.

I'm not sure what this 'inbox' does, but from judging from the video it's about a bunch of twenty-something hipsters from California high-fiving each other.

Looks like pretty standard WSN tech. Some points of critique: - Range: 50 square miles? That would imply a range of r=4 miles, which is pretty impressive. Is this single hop, or are they 'cheating' by implying a multi-hop network?

A 4MB flash, 16MB ram version of this (same chipset) is already freely available for $15 as module (1), or $26 with a break-out board (2). You get 2xserial, a bunch of free GPIO's, 2xethernet, i2c, usb. OpenWRT has already been ported

Hey, that's a pretty handy expression, thanks. It even goes beyond that though, Bitcoin enthusiasts actively downvote any negative stories on HN/Reddit because they don't want the price to go down. I can't remember the l
