Inviting somebody from Twitter to your physical address in order to assault them with a baseball bat doesn't seem "scared" to me.

If you have some stupid custom software that's making bad private keys you would never notice until you go to use them (or test them). Even more plausibly, they mention in 2011 to be using a custom system like Shamir's Secret Shar

Google shouldn't have collected the data, devices shouldn't be announcing previously connected networks, and this awful privacy destroying system shouldn't exist.

Your devices broadcast the names of networks it has seen recently in frequent intervals. "Yo HomeWiFI you there" essentially. Anybody listening can then correlate them with Googles database to find out detailed information about t

Keep in mind that these "anonymous" data points aren't. Your phones MAC address exposes your home wifi network thanks to Google's databases. They also expose where you work, where your friends houses are, what your favor

You can have your whole server nuked just for having the name of a movie in a text file. It's the luck of the draw as to what your host does, and who decides to send a ridiculous DMCA request to them.

Old wallets can be huge, tens of thousands of receiving addresses large. Most aren't even displayed to the client (change addresses).

More likely archive.is is pretending to be Googlebot. The author has a lot of server side tricks, like fake Facebook accounts so that it can archive Facebook pages properly.

I'm not sure there's any conclusion to be drawn, this doesn't really offer any additional information outside of people pressuring them to resign. As far as anybody can tell they haven't fixed their software bugs, Gregor

You're not wrong that there's less pools, I think it's just somewhat due to a lot of miners not understanding how pools work. There's an unfortunate misconception that the size of the pool impacts your income, so they gr

The introduction of new hardware (~difficulty) will level off fairly soon, we're reaching efficiency limits in what people can produce. I don't think we are at the technical limit, just at the limit of what the current companies i

I don't think we are anywhere near the blocks being half full, lots are less than 100kB except for Eligius. Is there anywhere displaying this metric?

You can do that but you'll be throwing certificate errors everywhere if they're self signed. By the sounds of it this is a bypass or method of getting around the CA altogether.

Sure. You essentially can't rely on a particular wallet sending from an address they know about, or even from an address they can control. The classic example is of a service using a shared wallet like Coinbase does. Coinbase maintains

Malware aside, it's annoying that people still think Bitcoin payments come "from" an address. It's not something you can rely on or expect in Bitcoin, and certainly shouldn't be used to identify payments by a client
