Great! Anyone got English literacy rates for the region, or for specific cashU countries?
You would probably benefit from hiring someone to do professional Arabic and French translations.

With the leak of the code I'm asking myself whether it would be a good idea to setup a bitcoinica clone.
The original code surely belongs to someone, regardless of whether it's been leaked. Though given the leak it looks trivial to reverse engineer and write a clone from scratch. |

Gates Foundation - Progress towards Immunization: WHAT IS IMMUNIZATION?Immunization is one of the most important and cost-effective public health interventions available for the prevention of childhood illnesses and death. [12] Vaccines, which protect against disease by inducing immunity, are widely and routinely administered through immunization programs in every country of the world. Each year, more than 100 million children are vaccinated against measles, polio, and other diseases. [13] Immunization is a cornerstone of public health programs and serves as a platform for other interventions. These programs have been sustained for decades, even through war and conflict. In one of the greatest successes in public health history, smallpox was eradicated by immunization campaigns in 1979, and polio eradication is now within reach. Each year approximately 25 million infants do not receive the necessary immunizations, and at least 2.4 million children die from vaccine-preventable diseases—approximately 14 percent of deaths in children under 5. [14] Millions more survive, but are left severely impaired. The long-term effects of these childhood illnesses limit the ability of those who survive to become educated, to work, or to care for themselves or others. Every time a homeopath tells someone not to vaccinate their children, God kills a kitten baby. |

There's not much I can do to help but I will send one of mine to: 16HMoS4TryH7wWsAv2PtvxiHX8QGXMGczi I encourage whomever is reading this to consider doing the same. Sucks to see bad things happen to good people. |

It would appear that a lot of misinformation has circulated since the date of my last post. Considering the many inconsistencies, I will assume astute readers here have already discounted the versions of facts presented by the Consultancy.
Since some of the story-telling is directed at me personally I wish to make a few things clear. I had no responsibility for Bitcoinica security ever. That would certainly be an improper role for me. I am not a security expert, nor have I ever claimed to be. My role was to oversee the investment in Bitcoinica and help facilitate the transfer to new management.
The Consultancy members accepted that responsibility on April 24 as operators and General Partners of Bitcoinica LP. There is ample written documentation to confirm this.
Upon closing of that transaction, login credentials for all services were handed off to the Consultancy in person. All credentials were encrypted by a reputable password management service. I claim no expertise to judge the security of the master password but it was very long. Its status as a master password and its use in all respects were fully understood by the Consultancy upon acceptance.
You got Zhou Tonged, Tihan. |

Can someone please explain the intended meaning of the underlined sentence? Has there been another leak of sensitive user data, in addition to theft? |

Hi Vandroiy, could you list your bet in GLBSE so that we can join this bet?
I am not a BTCST doubter, actually I have 4 digit coins in BTCST related ventures.
I just want a way of insurance for my funds in BTCST, even we lose the bet they will go to charity, why not?
Bets of Bitcoin: BTCST will default before the end of 2012. (Currently 282.3 BTC in favour, 370.44 BTC against.) |

I'll go on record here and on the official bet thread created that the winnings (if I win of course) of bet will go directly to a charity of the communities choosing.
For picking an effective, efficient and sane charity: http://www.givewell.org/Current top recommendation: Against Malaria FoundationUsing the 2012 projected costs per LLIN, we estimate the cost per child life saved through an AMF LLIN distribution at about $1,600 using the marginal cost ($5.15 per LLIN) and about $1,700 using the total cost ($5.54 per LLIN) This does not include other potential benefits of LLINs (non-fatal cases of malaria prevented, prevention of deaths in age groups other than under-5 year olds, prevention of other mosquito-borne diseases, etc.). |

Right it's a ponzi you WIN. Take out all the money you have in my operation.
That settles it then. |
|
|

Oh, what happened? Someone placed money against it? Curious. Earlier today it was something like 10:1 for BTCST defaulting in 2012. |

Edit: my bad, it is actually 45% over difficulty at ~2500000
Not your lucky day.  |

Thanksalot.  |

Greece has amazingly few Internet users. Only 45% of people there use the Internet at all.
That is nuts, if true. |

They should notify people whose claims have been confirmed as accurate.
Absolutely. And they should notify people whose claims have not been confirmed as accurate, along with a list of recommended actions. |
|
|
|
They also hand out addresses on request if you join IRC and talk to the bot.
Oh ok. Good thing. Thanks for letting me know. |

That's a nice attempt. Either way, I'm keeping my BTC in several secure places and the wallet files I'll make sure never touch my PC for security reasons. I look at it as a retirement fund, when I finally get tired of working the 9 to 5 grind, I can tell my boss to shove it with a smile  "Just kidding; I donated it all to Wikileaks" isn't going to hold, although I do see why you would want to get all that heat off your back. Yeah, I find it very hard to believe that he gave up that much money. Wikileaks seems to have received ~2989 BTC from 994 transactions to their current address. |

Abstract: Forty years ago, Wiesner pointed out that quantum mechanics raises the striking possibility of money that cannot be counterfeited according to the laws of physics.
We propose the first quantum money scheme that is:
(1) public-key, meaning that anyone can verify a banknote as genuine, not only the bank that printed it, and
(2) cryptographically secure, under a "classical" hardness assumption that has nothing to do with quantum money.
Our scheme is based on hidden subspaces, encoded as the zero-sets of random multivariate polynomials. A main technical advance is to show that the "black-box" version of our scheme, where the polynomials are replaced by classical oracles, is unconditionally secure. Previously, such a result had only been known relative to a quantum oracle (and even there, the proof was never published).
Even in Wiesner's original setting -- quantum money that can only be verified by the bank -- we are able to use our techniques to patch a major security hole in Wiesner's scheme. We give the first private-key quantum money scheme that allows unlimited verifications and that remains unconditionally secure, even if the counterfeiter can interact adaptively with the bank. Our money scheme is simpler than previous public-key quantum money schemes, including a knot-based scheme of Farhi et al. The verifier needs to perform only two tests, one in the standard basis and one in the Hadamard basis -- matching the original intuition for quantum money, based on the existence of complementary observables.
Our security proofs use a new variant of Ambainis's quantum adversary method, and several other tools that might be of independent interest.

His work concerns the limitations of quantum computers, and computational complexity theory more generally. A video talk-through was published today. First mention of Bitcoin at around 5.40. |
