Mark Karpeles linked to an irrelevant post on 9GAG in one of the interviews with a reporter. Given that MtGox has had funds being seized by DHS, and that withdrawal issues only started after the Silk Road bust, and another US based BTC buy/sell service (BitInstant) was investigated and charged with money laundering..

I think there is a decent theory that a govt gag order may be in the works.

89 Features missing from The Sims 4 by Kayin_Angel in Games

Exactly. Sims 4 was designed to be persistent and always progressing, so instead of burglars coming while you are sleeping (let's face it: most of the fun is from seeing the burglar, not seeing a furniture go miasing), they canned it.

Umm.. AES is designed 15 years ago and it could run on 8 bit smartcards 15 years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard#Performance

The main thing is that you are not encrypting a few mb of information. You're encrypting at most a 64 bit identifier. That's something you can do in a ~xxx,xxx 8-bit clock cycles, meaning, a milliseconds on 13.5 MHz.

It's clear that you don't know what you are talking about but tries to act like you do. I'm sorry, but encryption is not a throughput limitation in 2014. You should also know bloom filters are O(n) and as such takes the same time (a couple of mklliseconds) to match through 10 records and 8 billion records.

Quite simply, I'm going to bet the system is implemented with a MySQL cluster running on 5 versions of Apache out of date accessed via a self signed SSL certificate with Curl set to ignore SSL errors.

doge down 12% by cuddaloreappu in dogecoin

First of all, you're using a strawman attack. You interpreted my point as "BTC will hit $10000" when my point is "BTC isn't $10,000, so you can still buy and call yourself an early adopter". Regardless, I will address the rest of your points.

The United States dollar has no intrinsic value, however it is the current world reserve currency simply because of geopolitics and the network effect. It is able to keep this position, despite the US arguably no longer being a world superpower, and the us's credit rating decreasing, because of inertia. If the USD haven't been considered a reserve currency for the past century, the Euro would be the current reserve currency.

Because Bitcoin is the first widely adopted (relative to others) cryptocurrency, it has significant advantages. So yes, bitcoin's biggest advantage is inertia/network effecy/supply side economics of scale, which creates derived demand for development and adoption.

I don't understand what you mean by pointing out Litecoin. Litecoin isn't first. The advantages of network effect only applies if you have a network. That exists for Bitcoin - look at Dell, Cheapair, Wikipedia for examples. Arguably, Litecoin does not have a sufficient network, so it is irrelevant how early it was.

So, what is your point again? Please do not literally interpret my post (like you have last time).

Please don't cherry pick statistics, including made up ones. Doge has one of the lowest transaction values in term of value, and has a tiny fraction of network nodes like Litecoin.

That's not a valid reason. You should be aware a 2MB bloom filter is capable of storing more than 8 billion 64 bit identifiers. I'm sure they have 2MB. Of space.

You can still an early adopter of Bitcoin. 100 million satoshi (1 BTC) isn't worth $10000 yet. There's still time to get in BTC.

If Bitcoin prospers, altcoin will as well (but to a lesser extent due to the network effect and supply side economics of scale). So don't be a moron and make sure your portfolio has some BTC at least.

37coins.com is much better than Coinkite. Blockchain.info does this too.

However, Coinkite pays for reddit upvotes, that's why every submission they get have 100 upvotes with 3 comments after half a hour.

Don't use an online or web wallet. You do not own your BTC that way. Use something like Electrum or Multibit.

Now, if only Sims 4 turns out to be decent (mod support and recent actual gameplay videos is making me like it a bit).. I'd have forgiven you, EA.

No. If the BTC isn't in your wallet, it's not your BTC.

You can indeed make pools from scratch for a Sims 3 mod, but it will take incredible amounts of work.

Bitcoin Domain BTC.com Acquired for 1.1 Million USD by Josh Garza of GAWMiners by triplecoins in Bitcoin

[–]goldcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, a super high chance. BTC.com would be an exact domain match (EMD) and it is believed the primary measure is the click through rate in search results. If you google BTC you are probably looking for BTC.com, we do use BTC often but how much do you google it?

EMD with high SERP CTR = God.

GAWMiners are a wholesaler of ASICs actually. They don't make any ASICs, and my ASICs were shipped directly from the actual manufacturers.

It just shows how big the margins are for ASICs.

Yeah. Everyone who visited /r/Silkroad got infected by a JS RCE 0day (was tailored to Linux I think) I think that's how -- they know DPR would browse /r/Silkroad, and infected and looked through everyone.
