I like the idea, but: $2,345 / (40 * 3) = $19.5416666667/hr I guess if you're just starting, that's decent money, but I don't think I could run with the same idea myself. I'd probably need to add a 1 to the fro

No one has found a bug in the protocol that breaks bitcoin itself. What is under attack are the layers on top of bitcoin, in this case the exchanges. We will see more exchanges who make an effort to prove they are solvent, likely via techni

Micropayments is one obvious example. Credit card fees make micropayments very difficult. I'm sure there are workarounds, but that's only one possible use-case for Bitcoin. There are more that have yet to be invented.

I find it hard to believe that it's suggested people remember passwords. I would suspect that anyone who knows anything about security would be using something like LastPass to generate and store passwords.
