You can also play arbitrage between altcoins (BTC to LTC, or LTC to XMP, or any other). On Vircurex, Cryptsy, BTC-e, etc. Even with liquidity being lower you can see them being rather close on the different exchanges.

That was incredible to see! EDIT: It's only for iPhone 4S and 5? http://help.instagram.com/261882563951635 (damnit)

For those that don't know, Naspers also owns 35% of Tencent. They are heavily investing in internet companies in emerging markets.

Reminds me of my university (Stellenbosch University). Also had an odd combination. Started studying a Bachelor of Commerce in Computer Science (lots of maths, financial stats, etc). Then I switched to a Bachelor of Commerce in Socio-Inform

I'm unreasonably excited about it. For $25 I get to have a picture of my choosing taken in space!

It just makes a lot of sense. Interaction dynamics change at various sizes.

Worked with friend on a new idea (while also trying new tech across the board), ended up in this: http://simondlr.com/post/26360955465/dynamodb-is-awesome-but When we got traction, we wanted to change databases, but because it was just a

Great use of lists. News sites curate social media as it happens with their stories. It would be great if individuals on Twitter could do this. Curate tweets around a hashtag.

I like the inverse of to-do lists: a have-done list. Say you need to get a large task done for the day. That's what you need to do, but getting to the point of getting it done contains a lot of smaller actionable items (e-mailing people, se

That's correct. That's why it is pseudonymous. You just have to make sure that any addresses you use can't be traced back to you.

There's been debates running now in the Bitcoin community what the new 'denomination' should be. So far, it mBTC (millibitcoins) is leading. You can still write it as 0.001 BTC, or 1 mBTC. I'm just wondering in terms of psychology, what imp

If you build a to-do list app and see why it fails, you also gain understanding (hopefully). A lot of the stuff I built in my spare time as I was learning to code failed. Afterwards I questioned why and took that knowledge with me. Probably

Litecoin is currently the leading alternative. It's got a shorter confirmation time, uses scrypt as opposed to sha256, and will in the end have a larger total of coins. All these make it seem like a better alternative for micro-transactions

My money is on Bitcoin remaining the winner in the cryptocurrency market. It's got enough network effect now for people to keep it a success. The economy is growing, and people have too much vested interest already. Flaws will be fixed, imp

Had a similar idea a while back. Allow people to sign up, create a profile, etc. Then have matchmakers. People browsing profiles and matching people up. If they start dating, you get rep for being a good matchmaker.

Good question. I know that any transactions in forked chains that have been orphaned are included as transaction if it hasn't been double spent on the other chain. But what happens to the mining reward, I don't know. Anyone?

I'd like to add to this. One thing Jack Dorsey said (paraphrasing here) in his interview with Kevin Rose (in Foundation series), is that he wishes he is fortunate to realise an opportunity when it presents itself. To me that means 2 things:

My speculations of the current growth: 1) Halving of supply. Block rewards halved end of 2012. 2) SatoshiDice continues to become more popular. 3) Big names supporting it: Reddit, Mega, Namecheap. 4) Along with the above that would br

The whole program along with the partners probably pushed it above 150. As is the case with many groups going past 150, you'll have to start implementing other social structures besides relying on personal relationships to keep it going at

Same thing happened at my university. Chair of the student's committee accidentally included the list as a cc instead of bcc. My brother managed to rickroll the whole campus. Soon after the security of the listserv was fixed.
