A kid offering spamming and hacked twitter accounts using the same account on the forums too, so I doubt anybody did any real research into this person before sending him money.

Seems to be an issue of his age there. He claims to be much older on Bitcointalk. He owns a $750k house and previously rented a $500/week apartment too, so I highly doubt he is truly 18.

Every claim like this that says the code base is high quality has me rolling with laughter. The core developers at still trying to fix some of the crazy oversights that Satoshi left in the core code.

There's absolutely nothing to suggest that any state actor created Bitcoin.

This was a long time coming. The owner of the site's first posts on the forum was offering blackhat SEO and forum spamming services. Anybody who looked into the background of the creator could see that. https://bitcointalk.o

All major browsers allow you to profile each load time of every single resource. Perfect for trying to compare relative latency at a particular location for a particular CDN. Chrome'a is especially good for this sort of thing, look at

v0.8 miners were paid back for the lost funds from a private fund, leftover from the original Bitcoin Faucet.

They got their money back anyway. A user paid every single missed bounty from blocks on the abandoned fork.

None or the developers are anonymous, so one imagines they will be summoned. At least some of them are US based. Even if they don't own or control anything, they'll still be blamed.

No. I'm saying that a program that costs a massive monthly fee and is pretty much impossible to avoid in this industry is should not be this constantly bad.

You're going to be getting a lot of spam in the near future, the list of emails isn't exactly a secret anymore.

I wouldn't call Photoshop an achievement, it's a hodgepodge of old libraries and bugs at the best of times. Adobe refused to patch a vulnerability in CS5 at one point, telling people to purchase and upgrade to CS6 (US$199) if they

Sounds like an outrageously dangerous place to roll your own system. What you're describing is some sort of reed-solomon type data recovery, though I've absolutely no idea how that would work in practise. Wouldn't you be spen

Could you save something better than the incredibly lossy GIF? Even a JPEG would be better if you're trying to save size on disk.

To those unfamiliar, it's probably fair but only up to the point where you expect the site to be serving up the same code every time. It's a bit like JavaScript crypto; makes you feel good but has little bearing on anything in the

I have a textbook somewhere that said the adjustments were due to so many things relying on it for syntonisation. I'm not in a position to dig it up and find a proper reference unfortunately.

So many devices rely on the timing of the waves that the generating companies actually keep count and then adjust the speed to make up any they might have missed!

There's room for improvement, but there's a lot of core issues that just can't be flushed out. The concept of the POW is to stop spam, as all addresses are inevitably public, it doesn't really work though, as spammers ty

Bitmessage doesn't scale, it's POW doesn't solve any spam problems, and it's largely insecure. There's been quite a lot of public discussion about just how hilariously insecure it is.

There's no official mention, but a few jailbreak developers have specifically talking about its existence. (MuscleNerd and Steffan Esser if my memory serves)

You would have extreme trouble picking a lock with a bobby pin, they're much too fat to do anything outside of a movie.

It always comes down to this; would you prefer security, or just something that makes you feel fuzzy? Crypto in JavaScript only gives the latter.

A reverse lookup shows that the server is also hosting https://coffeestats.org/ - clearly there's someone here trying to collect vast amounts of data about the general public. I don't think the parents fears are u
