 Having two math classes on pi day is pretty great.
So much pie.

You now have enough pi to send a telegram

$ vanitygen 3point1415926535
Prefix '3point1415926535' not possible
Hint: valid bitcoin addresses begin with "1"

Anyone know how to make a vanity multisig address? (multisig addresses begin with 3)

I don't like pie. I always was a tau person. If you want to know more ViHard explains it nicely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iUh_CSjaSw

Great ViHard video, but its not a tau speech either. Its a "pi is not that special"-video :)

As a tau person you probably know this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG7vhMMXagQ

You can do
To get addresses beginning with 3, but that would still be an invalid address.

But by requiring multiple signatures, you can make a valid address beginning with 3.
Example: 32wRDBezxnazSBxMrMqLWqD1ajwEqnDnMc
(https://blockchain.info/address/32wRDBezxnazSBxMrMqLWqD1ajwEqnDnMc)

What magic is that?
Is that some sort of "shared adress" where you -or rather the group controlling it- can only spend BTC if all sign?

Basically. You can have 3-of-3 so everyone has to agree to send the coins somewhere, 2-of-3 so only two of them do, etc. If I remember correctly, one of the "Silk Road replacement" sites uses 2-of-3 addresses for escrow. If the buyer and seller have no issues, they both agree to release the funds to the seller. If the buyer and seller disagree, the marketplaces mediates and either releases the funds to the seller, or returns them to the buyer, depending on which side they think is more trustworthy. This is nice because even if the site goes down (ie Silk Road), the buyer and seller can finish their open transactions without the market (unlike Silk Road's escrow system where if the site goes down everyone is screwed).

our school had a Pi day :D

everywhere you turn there was a label saying something like

3.14% of sailors are PIrates :D

This restaurant had drinks for $3.14 and a bunch of other things I can't remember.

guess they had a lot of change to give out :D

Thread has officially gone full circle.
