Do you really need me to explain why buying a portfolio (Bitcoin ETF) of an asset that is backed by nothing.

The awesome thing about law of attraction is that "the work" aspect of it is really not up to you because most times when you desire something It can manifest into your life a number of different ways.

Tim Draper Is Sole Winner of US Bitcoin Auction, the article even states it is handled like any other seizure auction.

Why is game website "404 Not Found" not working ?

Draper will team with Palo Alto startup Vaurum to inject the bitcoins into exchanges in places like South America, Africa, India and parts of Asia. Since bitcoin isn't controlled by any particular government, the free-spirited investor said, it is attractive to businesses and entrepreneurs in developing economies who contend with political instability and weak currencies.

Months after the Bank of Russia first broke its silence on bitcoin and digital currencies with stern warnings regarding their potential treatment under the law, regulators have released new statements that suggest the country is further softening its tone on the subject.

The exchanges have historically been regarded as mysterious and, well, weird. Slovenia? Yet even after Tokyo-based Mt. Gox’s crash-and-burn, serious Bitcoin businesses and traders can’t stay away from foreign exchanges; they still need digital money changers and the European exchanges are the main USD players. The three European exchanges have historically been press-shy. Bitfinex’s founder keeps his remarks to Reddit. The BTC-e crew has stayed anonymous while rumors swirl that they are actually based in Russia, where Bitcoin is illegal. But the two twenty-something founders behind Bitstamp, Nejc Kodrič and Damian Merlak, are increasingly opening up. They’ve attended Bitcoin events, collected a “best virtual currency startup” award at a European tech conference, and spent an hour with me on Skype talking about what it was like to discover Bitcoin and suddenly become two of the richest people in Slovenia.

MOST elections, if you win more than half of the votes, you call the shots. In the land of Bitcoin things are a bit more complicated, as events last week showed: although a huge coalition of computer users managed to control 51% of the system that underlies the crypto-currency, the group did not abuse its majority. Instead, many members decided to leave and join rival groups.

Separating activity from growth on Bitcoin’s network

One of the contentious areas of writing about Bitcoin data and emerging markets, is discussing what conclusions and interpretations (if any) can be drawn from say, transactional volume.

Let us put that aside for a moment and consider ways to estimate real commercial volume.  Are there any other ways to do so besides a full traffic analysis?

Network-attached storage (NAS) devices aren’t designed to be powerhouses, but rather barebones computers with smartphone-grade CPUs. As the name suggests, NAS devices act as servers, and as such, these devices are terrible for mining cryptocurrency. However, with a large enough number of devices mining simultaneously, it’s still possible to make a profit, and that’s just what one hacker did. Known only as “folio,” the hacker hijacked hundreds and hundreds of Synology devices to create a Dogecoin-mining botnet, earning him/her a whopping 500 million DOGE (~$200,000 USD). Affected users can visit the Synology forums for discussion and instructions on how to remove the rogue process.

Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne delivered the keynote address at Saturday’s Bitcoin in the Beltway conference. He spoke a lot about the past, but he also talked about Bitcoin’s future. Specifically, Byrne announced a timetable for international Overstock Bitcoin payments and revealed a plan to donate 3% of all Overstock Bitcoin payments to organizations working to promote cryptocurrency around the world.

Like the 140,000 BTC that were personally owned by Silk Road leader Ross Ulbricht, which was also seized by the government in the raid. Ulbricht has sued for reclamation of those coins, leaving them for the timebeing in cold storage. Also out of circulation: the 1 million or so BTC owned by Satoshi Nakamoto, the mysterious creator(s) of bitcoin, whose bitcoin have not moved since being mined in 2009 in the dawn of bitcoin’s existence.

Even not factoring in dormant bitcoin, a 29,566 BTC haul is nothing to sneeze at. If bitcoin were gold, of which 165,000 tons have been mined in human history, the US Marshal bitcoin auction would be the equivalent of the one-day sale of 379 tons of the yellow metal, or about 8 percent of the entire gold supply in Fort Knox.

 A number of businesses are starting to adopt a digital currency that eliminates the need for a central bank but would you feel comfortable buying and using the virtual currency to make purchases?

CTV Calgary Consumer Watch Specialist Lea Williams-Doherty talked to the experts and says bitcoin is really just a complex computer program run by thousands of anonymous individuals called bitcoin miners.

In a magnificent show of technical ineptitude, today the U.S. Marshals revealed the identities of many anonymous bidders in its $18 million seized Silk Road Bitcoin auction by CC’ing them on an email thread. When one asked a question, the response was sent to 40 of the bidders, many whose names were attached or easily identifiable from their addresses, negating the whole point of the auction being anonymous. Smooth, government.

SnapCard fee is high for german users. Are there any advantages using service in Germany besides using bitcoin.

Depending on if you have a billion change addresses or not, it could also be super tedious. You could always import the wallet into a blockchain.info account and send without a fee.

My disconnect that took hours to fix, each subnet might very well decide that it would be too disruptive to submit to a reorg on reconnect. Instead I might change to code to my subnet.
