one thing that kinda irks me is the way they made bitcoin mining sound so easy and cheap...

I don't think it's a recent addition to their page. It still says Mt Gox is the largest exchange, heh. It was likely written at a time when it was slightly easier and cheaper to mine. Not a bad effort considering it's a mainstream site, though. Just needs a bit of an update.

Title: Re: "What is Bitcoin" Featured on Front Page of CNN.COM Post by: neoneros on March 31, 2015, 11:36:42 PM It is a bit simplistic and outdated indeed. Would expect a bit more insight and up to date report from the world leading news network. But it is a nice starter and a positive frontpage mention is very nice for awareness. Though most people know about it, but wouldn't want to touch BTC with a ten foot pole. There needs to be a bigger incentive and we could start using it as intended.

No. I tested it with various browsers before starting this thread.

Plant the seeds and let them grow as time goes forward. Net positive.
