Fairly well phrased, although the arguments against 'corporations' and 'conglomerates' are fairly unsubstantial. (in the pastebin, that is, IRL is a different matter)

Excellent read. As someone who has (hopefully) just taken up the travelling+programming lifestyle myself I was really inspired by the website. There's a lot of interesting articles on there.

Another centralized institution profiting from the decentralized-ness of Bitcoin. Perhaps it's the direction Bitcoin will have to grow in, in order to stay alive/popular.

How so? Seems to me like it could mean any number of things, all of which succeed in securely hashing+salting a password.

So how does Windows do this? And why can't Linux do the same?

I dare say that the netbook is not dead at all for people who travel a lot. I own an iPad and a very slow (WinXP) netbook myself, but I would prefer the netbook over the iPad for travel any day. At least I have plenty of storage space for m

If the calculation for the next block requires the (network's validation of the) current block then you can only always calculate one block ahead.

The trick lies in changing the bitcoin protocol. If the majority of clients can agree on a way to use less resources, then that's what will be enforced by the network. If a new bitcoin client enforced a mandatory delay of one hour and inval

Yeah, that's why the only thing I could think of that would 'fix' this, is to release new miners that use less processing power, and a new client that only allows input from those miners. Even so, such a thing would be equally as difficult

Thanks! Hope it helps. I'm still struggling to find the limits myself. Since I'm usually at the never-release end of the spectrum I found it healthy to try it the other way round for a change, even if the end result is not (yet) very pretty

GPS seemed like a logical add-on, but I haven't thought about music yet, thanks.

This person lost all credibility to me when he said that he borrowed money to invest. I'm a huge admirer of Bitcoin's technical aspects, but I would never even think of borrowing money to invest in anything, let alone bitcoins.

This is excellent! A real help for people who like to learn from example. I'd love to see some more math stuff translated to source code. It's a great help for people who suck at math but are able to read source (like me).

There's a bit of an undertone in the article, stating that "if you don't let yourself get paid for photos you publish online then you must be doing something wrong". Or at least that's the feeling I get from it. It's just a photo. The photo

A good programmer knows how to represent a large correct program as a number of small correct programs that interact, thereby eliminating complexity. Bad programmers get lost cause they run out of brainspace to hold the complexity of a 1000

As much as I love bitcoins, I think the author is quite right. Which makes this a sad sad world we live in. As paradoxical as it may sound, bitcoins are against capitalism and against governments. And I think that's exactly why bitcoin has
