I am all for self-reliance, but if you really want to influence someone else, you might want to include a link to the project, especially when the only word you share has a much more prevalent meaning.

Does anybody actually use bitcoin? And by use I mean transact actual business, and not just speculate. You know, buying and selling real world goods and services. Or is it like gold reserves, people just hoard these digital numbers until

I find this constant sniping tiresome and boring. Yes, even people with great minds are humans, with all the failings that come with it. We are almost all lonely and seeking comfort and praise. Isn't what is remarkable about Feynman

So, if I understand you properly, being sick enough that you need to be in a hospital is bad for your health? And the sicker you are the more likely it is that you won't recover? Are you positing that the same people would have bette

So, for the folks that consider this a security issue. Do you really want the OS to break all your existing connections when you start the VPN? Do you think this is what most people expect to happen? I would say that the great majority of V
