Title: Bitcoin shoutout in today's epic xkcd comic Post by: jga on September 19, 2012, 09:22:10 AM The link is here: http://xkcd.com/1110
The text is: "I'm not saying our Bitcoin-only island nation was a bad idea, but we really should've secured internet access before we left." I can't tell you how to find it because I got super lost before I stumbled across it, but somewhere top-middle-left? Happy hunting. EDIT: I found the starting point... to get to the Bitcoin reference, head left for... like... a while. EDIT #2: You'll probably have more fun exploring, but here's a direct link to the relevant tile for the lazy and/or busy. http://imgs.xkcd.com/clickdrag/1n9w.png Title: Re: Bitcoin shoutout in today's epic xkcd comic Post by: kakobrekla on September 19, 2012, 03:32:51 PM http://xkcd-map.rent-a-geek.de/

http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page Needs some additions though. Their explanation for the bitcoin island at the moment is that it references the principality of sealand :). Not to mention the fact that they have no clue who pirate or goat is. :P Title: Re: Bitcoin shoutout in today's epic xkcd comic Post by: phelix on September 20, 2012, 11:54:00 AM lolz I went to the right first and thought the landscape would resemble the bitcoin price chart ;D
