For shame, "tech-news-buzz". If you're going to rip off a foreign article, at least proofread the translation output.

Sounds like a great idea. It's only advantageous to use Bitcoin if you're playing to its strengths. Maybe you and others could be on "On Call" for certain hours and videochat with students worldwide.
Could be very valuable, and I can imagine using it in the future.

While I'm going to read and appreciate all the criticisms, this was a true piece of propagandist art.
Even if I didn't appreciate the message, which I did, I enjoy the quality (as I do Leni Riefenstahl).

In short, it's not being wasted.
If all the miners used a mining daemon that limited itself to 1%, not only would someone come along and use the full GPU to profit themselves, but it would make it easier to attack the network.
Bitcoin is designed to operate without trust. As such, it assumes that everyone will be trying as hard as they can.

There are several 50+x BTC transactions feeding into it. Those are freshly generated.
I think it might have been someone buying up coins on mtgox or wherever and funelling them to be used, maybe soon.
I hope it's for something legal.

Bitcoin wallets have recently been implemented in Javascript. That could be used for a Chrome OS plugin which is charged up, and then distributes BTC based on a "mailto:" style markup.

I'm not voting, as I lack the background knowledge.
I think it's a great idea, but urge you to get some kind of legal counsel.

I certainly expect totalitarian states to make life difficult for their Bitcoin users.
Whether that's China, the U.S., or Saudi Arabia, it just gives third world countries times to catch up and become Bit-rich.

If Bitcoin dominates, Economics will be very interesting. I assume most transactions will not bother obfuscating, and that some corporations (probably Google et al.) will reward you for registering purchases (this being an opt-in service), and accepting advertising. By throwing enough processing power at that much data, I'm sure the smart people can do a very good job linking you with someone with whom you would like to trade.
Could be equally interesting to economics or comp sci students.

Good to know. I assume as long NP!=P, there's something we can use.
Otherwise, we might have to use one-time pads, and only trust humans we've physically met.

Hash/sDifficulty, after it goes above 1. Google likes your csv to start with dates MM/DD/YY. Data is here. It's really just a list of things that were popular at the same time as Bitcoin was first hitting the news. This'll start you off... 01/13/2009 01/14/2009 01/15/2009 01/16/2009 01/18/2009 01/19/2009 01/20/2009 01/22/2009 01/23/2009 01/24/2009 01/25/2009 01/26/2009 01/27/2009 01/28/2009 01/30/2009 01/31/2009

That's fair. For the straightforward transferal of funds, this Clearxchange might well be better than Bitcoin for many users. It currently offers a higher degree of certainty. It would be useful for your parents to get to used to e-banking in any form.
We should continue to market Bitcoin to those who profit from using it. International trade and Internet trade are, imho, where Bitcoin shines. This could be an excellent tool for a distributed Bitcoin exchange.

http://correlate.googlelabs.com/Bitcoin, correlations compared by U.S. state. What would be really interesting would be to upload difficulty against time in a CSV and see whether it correlates with anything.

Interesting. Or journalists going for the "Look what we were able to do" bit.

Along with encryption, include high parity PAR2 files codes scattered throughout.
Ugh... Theoretically. FBI.

If you're printing it out, it would probably be easier to do it on QR codes in chunks.

As with Google's phone payments, we must consider this as both a threat an an opportunity.
With a web-of-trust system, it will now be easy for Americans to exchange USD for BTC.
What if the banks take a hostile position to the vendor of Bitcoins?

This is amazing! 1.394 MH/s on my crappy desktop.

Whoa! Maybe they just want to set up a "submit to this address" button; what with our being able to see exactly how much they were getting.
But if the EFF turns its back on Bitcoin, I will not be happy.
