Bitcoin is only 4 years old. Maybe it just takes a little longer to take over Visa in transaction volume? I really don't know what people like you expected. If it proceeds to double in size every year then the numbers will stop being &

That's true. Still 100% growth per year is not exactly 'no growth'.

I may not have a right to "pound" your site, but I certainly have a right to keep whatever I find on your public webserver, regardless of whether you decide to pull it down later.

That is certainly true. But in terms of scale even a claimed 5 million compromised android phones just barely registers while desktop botnets of six times that size are discovered. The bandwidth constraints imposed by most users draconic da

If "5 million" sounds like a large number to you then this may help to put it into perspective; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botnet#Historical_list_of_botne...

Unfortunately malware tends to be the one kind of No-Ip client that actually has (lots of) redundancy built into its peer discovery mechanism. Malware authors anticipate their communication channels to fail and usually account for it with a

Practically every instance of malware runs on Microsoft Windows. If the stated goal is to defeat malware then windowsupdate.microsoft.com should be seized and routed to a non-interactive Windows Uninstaller.

In 2013 MtGox collected on average $150k USD in transaction fees. Per day. On peak days, such as 1st December 2013, MtGox collected up to $1.3MM USD in fees. That is money they could have used to hire someone. Karpeles claim of 'we had

Yes, when they type the ticket in it pages someone who can action it. They don't wait till 9am next morning to service the ticket. They get it done as humanly as possible. I'm not sure where you get that idea from but companies

And... you think your call is going to make an outage get resolved quicker, or what do you want to call them for? The callcenter agent will type your inquiry into the exact same ticket system that your email would have ended up in.

PS: I can't think of a single technology over 20 years old where the first mover is still the leader. Popular internet protocols tend to evolve rather than get replaced (cf. nearly every protocol ever).

We need some sort of '5 year hiatus' That's sadly unlikely to help, as can be seen in countries where such regulations are in place. The culprits simply delay the payment or move to alternate forms of compensation (e.g. arr
