A good place to see a variety of metrics for bitcoin's growth is here: http://bitcoinpulse.com/ edit: Hmm, after I wrote that I realised it sounds a bit spammy. To be clear: I'm not affiliated in any way with that

Uh, before we all start getting our payment APIs to return 402s in a million different and incompatible scenarios, I'd urge everyone to remember what "reserved" means". It means "don't use this until we've

Just wanted to chip in to say that the pomodoro technique works really really well, but maybe best when I actually know what I should be doing. Setting a pomodoro task of 'let users choose colours' is easy, but 'improve load

> it's absolutely impossible to delegate most of this work to a third party I am sailing into waters I am not at all familiar with here, but I think the currently-underused multisig/escrow features might offer a solution here.
