I wonder if Matt Oppenheim is related to Casey Oppenheim, the tenth follower of https://twitter.com/EdFelten44 if you exclude Ed's personal account follow. This post may or may not have anything to do with the first reply to this thread.

90% of poker players in the long run are losers. The other 10% are winners. The reason is because after the rake (a small % the house takes for commission) in the long run most people lose.
Lack of discipline, greed, stupidity all contribute to why most people are big time losers.
Do you have what it takes to be that 10% ?
for some people win big, many must lose big. No wealthy is created in Poker, so it is a zero sum game with rake You mean to say it's not true that three fish could feed seven seasoned players at a ten-handed game regardless who the fish or pros are on an ongoing basis? Recall, poker is a people game played with cards and NOT a card game played with people. |

Yes. Interesting you say that... Are you already a poker pro? Yes. I've lived in Tunica at Sams Town for two years straight mostly comped from the poker room. I've lived in Biloxi a couple years and in Vegas six times, six months at a time, all the while playing poker. I've also spent some time in Laughlin, NV, with my room comped unless I wanted to pay the $10 USD a night (now, about $19 USD). I was a winning player online till Black Friday, also had a positive ROI in tournaments. I'm currently building a poker bankroll from scratch on BitOnLine that allows Bitcoin transactions.  I tried to get a screenshot of the last hand, but I hasn't fast enough to capture it. This is only the third tournament I've played since just prior to Black Friday when Bush was president. BitOnLine accepts bitcoins, and that's what I'll use to cash out once I pump it up on live games and perhaps more freeroll tournaments. My assessment of the site thus far is that it runs pretty smoothly. I'll assume it's on the up-and-up, but will have to do some research in that regard. I've seen some crazy turn and river cards, but that doesn't freak me out as it does other players. In fact, the more they cry, the more they're telling me what type of player they really are. I could go to Vegas flat-ass broke, scratch up a buy-in, and in no time afford a normal lifestyle living off the felt. |

And, this guy's not Satoshi because... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin#Selfish_miningSelfish mining
This attack was first introduced by Ittay Eyal and Emin Gun Sirer at the beginning of November 2013. The attacker does not normally broadcast the blocks upon finding them. He mines his private chain and eventually (when somebody finds his own block) publishes several blocks at row. This makes the "honest" network abandon their last work and switch to the attacker's branch. As a result, honest miners lose a significant part of their revenue, while the attacker increases profits due to changes in relative hashpowers.
According to the authors it changes the incentives for rational miners and makes them want to join the attacker's pool, increasing the attacker's hashpower (which could potentially lead to a 51% attack).
Other researchers such as Gavin Andresen or academic Ed Felten disagree with this conclusion. http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/02/10/bitcoin-exchange-struggles/?_r=0  https://twitter.com/edfelten/status/449243491244449792 |

And, this guy's not Satoshi because... http://www.trustthevote.org/sequoia_warns_princetons_dr_felten_not_analyze_machiineVoters Must CountMotivation Behind Adoption
Sequoia Warns Princeton’s Dr. Felten to Not Analyze Machiine
Mar 18th, 2008 by Gregory Miller
Nearly unbelievable, but perhaps predictable. The Brad Blog reports on a warning letter that Dr. Ed Felten, Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University has received from Sequoia Voting Systems, should he and a colleague (Andrew Appel) proceed to analyze the Company’s AVC Advantage product.
According to Brad, Dr. Felten has confirmed receipt and authenticity of the communication from Sequoia’s Edwin Smith, Vice-President of Compliance/Quality/Certification.
This Sequoia machine was recently determined to have had serious errors occur during New Jersey’s primary, and New Jersey election clerks have called for independent testing and analysis. At the very least, we should be questioning operations so complex as to require this response from Sequoia when shifting responsibility.
But it is predictable that Sequoia would assert that if N.J. election officials provide one of their machines to Dr. Felten that such would violate their license agreement with N.J. However, its unclear whether NJ outright owns the hardware with a runtime license to the software, or leases all of it, or what exactly are the terms of service. But let’s assume there is a valid enforceable agreement.
The next issue is whether in fact New Jersey has officially called for an analysis, investigation, or independent testing as asserted by this spot-on comment from Livermore National Laboratory’s computer science expert David Jefferson. But the issue of official calls for investigations (perhaps indemnifying Felten et al in their work) may be irrelevant.
The more relevant question is why Sequoia would be willing to take on the additional bad PR over this… unless they really are concerned about what Dr. Felten and DR. Andrew Appel may discover in their analysis.
As I remarked on Brad’s blog, this is another glaring example of why open source approaches are so imperative to the design and development of the machinery so essential to our democracy in a digital age.
Open source machinery (hardware + software) will put an end to these debates about examination, inspection, and review.
If our vote, our choice, and our voice is to be counted, made, and heard in this democracy, we must do this. http://www.trustthevote.org/author/gamPosts by GAM:

And, this guy's not Satoshi because... https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2010/11/ftc-names-edward-w-felten-agencys-chief-technologist-eileenFTC Names Edward W. Felten as Agency's Chief Technologist; Eileen Harrington as Executive Director
FOR RELEASE
November 4, 2010
TAGS: government Government Office of the Executive Director Commissioners Competition Consumer Protection FTC Operations
Federal Trade Commission Chairman Jon Leibowitz today announced the appointment of Edward W. Felten as the agency’s first Chief Technologist. In his new position, Dr. Felten will advise the agency on evolving technology and policy issues.
Dr. Felten is a professor of computer science and public affairs and founding director of the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University. He has served as a consultant to federal agencies, including the FTC, and departments of Justice and Defense, and has testified before Congress on a range of technology, computer security, and privacy issues. He is a fellow of the Association of Computing Machinery and recipient of the Scientific American 50 Award. Felten holds a Ph.D. in computer science and engineering from the University of Washington.
Dr. Felten’s research has focused on areas including computer security and privacy, especially relating to consumer products; technology law and policy; Internet software; intellectual property policy; and using technology to improve government.
“Ed is extraordinarily respected in the technology community, and his background and knowledge make him an outstanding choice to serve as the agency’s first Chief Technologist,” Leibowitz said. “He’s going to add unparalleled expertise on high-technology markets and computer security. And he also will provide invaluable input into the recommendations we’ll be making soon for online privacy, as well as the enforcement actions we’ll soon bring to protect consumer privacy. We’re thrilled to have him on board.”
Dr. Felten currently is a part-time consultant for the FTC. He will start full time as Chief Technologist in January.
Chairman Leibowitz also announced that Eileen Harrington has been named the agency’s Executive Director. Harrington comes to the FTC from a 15-month stint as Chief Operating Officer at the U.S. Small Business Administration. Previously, she served for 25 years at the FTC, starting as a staff attorney and assuming a variety of senior management positions in the Bureau of Consumer Protection, including Associate Director for Marketing Practices, Deputy Director, and Acting Director. Harrington has a long list of accomplishments from her tenure at the FTC. Perhaps most notably, she received the prestigious Service to America Medal for leading the team that created the National Do Not Call Registry.
“This is a very happy homecoming,” said Leibowitz. “Eileen has made an invaluable contribution to the FTC in the past, and her strong management skills, enthusiasm, and creativity will once again be put to use for the betterment of the agency and for American consumers. We are delighted to have her back.”
The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC’s online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 1,800 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad. The FTC’s website provides free information on a variety of consumer topics. https://twitter.com/ftc/status/29698305277 |

Apparently this man has been re-inbursed fromt he dead?
Are you implying that he was paid via TBF? I have first dibs on the screenplay: Dead Man Coding.  I've experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are
still alive.
And believe me I am
still alive.
I'm doing science and I'm
still alive.
I feel fantastic and I'm
still alive.
While you're dying I'll be
still alive.
And when you're dead I will be

Bitcoin version 0.6.2 is now available for download at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.6.2/This is a bug-fix and code-cleanup release, with no major new features. Please report bugs using the github issue tracker at: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issuesNOTABLE CHANGES =============== Much faster shutdowns. However, the blkindex.dat file is no longer portable to different data directories by default. If you need a portable blkindex.dat file then run with the new -detachdb=1 option or the "Detach databases at shutdown" GUI preference. Fixed https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/1065, a bug that could cause long-running nodes to crash. Mac and Windows binaries are compiled against OpenSSL 1.0.1b (Linux binaries are dynamically linked to the version of OpenSSL on the system). CHANGE SUMMARY ============== Use 'git shortlog --no-merges v0.6.0..' for a summary of this release. Source codebase changes: - Many source code cleanups and warnings fixes. Close to building with -Wall - Locking overhaul, and several minor locking fixes - Several source code portability fixes, e.g. FreeBSD JSON-RPC interface changes: - addmultisigaddress enabled for mainnet (previously only enabled for testnet) Network protocol changes: - protocol version 60001 - added nonce value to "ping" message (BIP 31) - added new "pong" message (BIP 31) Backend storage changes: - Less redundant database flushing, especially during initial block download - Shutdown improvements (see above) Qt user interface: - minor URI handling improvements - progressbar improvements - error handling improvements (show message box rather than console exception, etc.) - by popular request, make 4th bar of connection icon green Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release: Chris MooreDwayne C. Litzenberger Gavin Andresen Jeff Garzik Luke Dashjr Matt Corallo Philip Kaufmann Pieter Wuille R E Broadley Timothy Redaelli Wladimir J. van der Laan cardpuncher freewil graingert sje397 Let me guess. CM has also voted in every Chicago election since 2008. I, for one, can't wait for the explanation as to why CM used the likeness of a person unrelated to this space and has been dead since the advent(?) of Bitcoin. And, used a variant of the decease's last name as his moniker to boot. |

Hi everyone, working on a story about everyone's favorite coin.
So, you all probably know Josh "burned" some coins through a transaction fee. The whitepaper as most of you probably know, states that Orion Controllers will get fees from transactions. People on hashtalk say that never got implemented but was destroyed.
I've been looking over their github, but I'm not a programmer and am a little over my head, really driving home the fact that I need to take a crash course on this kind of stuff. Common sense and following variables only get you so far. Can anyone find me the relevant section in the github that proves what happens to Tx fees either way? I'll give your twitter or BTT account (or whatever account) a shout out in the article if you would like.
Thanks.
No one help him.What a Prick, with a capital P. |

His dad, or possibly a friend or someone he looks up to? It could be anyone... Or it could just be a picture of the late M.A. Douglas http://give.uci.edu/recognition/gifts/douglas-the-ocs-new-name-in-healthcare.php "Douglas was known for his business acumen and real estate partnerships that helped develop Orange County. While he traveled the world late in life, he spent his early years living with his family in Colorado in a tiny dirt-floored home built from railroad ties. When he was 6, his family worked as migrant laborers on the West Coast before settling in Oregon. Douglas left home at 14 and headed to Los Angeles, where he pursued his career at B.F. Goodrich. In 1963, Douglas founded IPS which developed, built and managed more than 10,000 apartment units, primarily in Orange County. His office was just a few blocks from the hospital that now bears his name." Maybe they are related?  Striking resemblance? Not even close! Besides, the names are different: Chris Moore on the left; M.A. Douglas on the right. So, as some of you maybe aware by my previous thread. certain events that took over in my work / personal life which halted development of CoinPay. We are still looking to make CoinPay a reality and have achieved alot of development work and behind the scenes things inplace from company, secure commercial premises, banking, solicitors etc.. However sadly our lead developer Dooglus (owner of bitcoin venture just-dice.com) no longer has the time to commit to CoinPay as his site has been a runaway success, although he said that may change in the future & will still be available to help get to grips with his code if required.So we are looking to hire a developer that has a credible background within the bitcoin community (preferably someone who resides within the UK, otherwise it makes our journey longer & more expensive for meetings! (although hotter climates maybe considered!) If you feel that you are what we are looking for please get in touch as we are looking to restart development as soon as possible. (we are considering taking on multiple developers so if you have expertise in a specific area please let us know as we will eventually need to have a team managing the site) Contact: scott@coinpay.co.uk-Please note that for some aspects of discussion you may be required to return a signed NDA & Contract. Because he's dead, but if his condition improves, Dooglus may start coding again. On BitcoinTalk, even the dead are online: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3420  I spent some time throwing this together tonight. Thanks dooglus for providing the modified paycoind http://45.55.226.78/index.php... From a quick look at one of our blocks. Cryptsy's KEY ID is 16 ... So looks like it's "... prime controller from our cold dead hands ..." or something along those lines, huh ? SMH. |

What will I do?
It's obviously to dictate.
I'm a dictator, so I should dictate.
I would delete posts echoing my sentiments so that I would be the first one to espouse them. Then, I would stock a lake with hungry muskies. Then, I would translate this entire forum into Klingon. Then, I would explain why to the last two sentences after the fact to not violate what's requested in the OP. |

In the spirit of the title of this thread, the OP should lock this thread and start a new thread that'll be more constructive than this thread, preferably sans the word 'thread' in its title.
