I did not get a mailed copy yet. Went to Barnes and Noble. Not there either. So sad.

Gavin is probably referring to his recent comment on bitcoin mining where bitcoin mining is a zero-sum game. In an isolated system, however, anything in the closed environment is a zero sum game. In fact, the entire universe itself is a zero-sum game because of always increasing entropy.
Zero sum games can be proven to be true in an isolated system. However, it is possible that participants, variables, and other factors that interact on top of that isolated system could be greater than zero sum. I believe that the platform of Bitcoinica could theoretically be proven to be zero sum, but beyond that closed environment is not zero sum and it something much, much greater.
I am sad to see Zhoutong leave since an opportunity like Bitcoinica/Bitcoin only comes once in a decade/century/millennium/aeon.

Why not have both? The easy to read one on top. Luke's version underneath.

nothing against piuk and blockchain.info but all of you should consider Armory with totally secure offline wallets and one time paper backups with a deterministic wallet. all the bugs that i could find have been worked out and i'm using it primarily now with multiple wallet interfaces.
I will, when it's standalone, currently it is really annoying to have to run the official client and armory together to make use of it, also it eats away all my memory, so no thanks i'll wait a bit til it's developed more  I have also used Armory for offline storage and paper backup. The deterministic wallet concept is amazing and I didn't appreciate it until I created one, destroyed my wallet on purpose leaving no digital copies, and recovered it from my paper backup. Seems to do the trick. It's almost in beta. |

All hail science and reason.
^ That.  I wanted a special good bye to end every video with and this is what I came up with  Sounds good to me. |

What do you say at the end? "All hell, signs and reason"?

Whee. That was my submission. I've managed to get 3 out of 4 to the front page so far. Fairly good stats. Good work Technomage. I've *never* been able to have a successful submission to Slashdot. Not sure how you do it but excellent work. |

Can we get an update on this meeting with Ben Milne, Jered Kenna, and possibly Charlie.
|
|
|

Btw, at Future of Money next week during my presentation, I plan on revealing to the public how much of Dwolla's success was attributed to Bitcoin
YES! I will make sure I sit near Ben Milne and get video of his reacton. Oh yea! We need 30 iphone cameras so we can do a 360 degree Matrix style rotation face reaction from Ben Milne. Seriously, Dwolla's success is based on bitcoin and this has been hidden from investors including the latest round and Ashton. |

I am looking forward to your views on bitcoin (including if bitcoin is a commodity or not.) I hope you guys can win some legal battles for us.

Here's what I did: C:\>gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.asc
gpg: Signature made 03/16/12 13:01:01 Pacific Daylight Time using RSA key ID 1FC
730C1
gpg: Good signature from "Gavin Andresen (CODE SIGNING KEY) <gavinandresen@gmail
.com>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 2664 6D99 CBAE C9B8 1982 EF60 29D9 EE6B 1FC7 30C1Should I be worried about the warnings? BTW, I did a sha256sum and it matches the one in the SHA256SUMS.asc file. It is just the warning above that bugs me. I also imported gavin's PGP and it imported ok. I did some googling and found this: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2009-March/035981.htmlSays I need to do a "web-of-trust by doing some keysigning" of some sort. Edit: Did some more googling. Says, "The best method is to meet the developer in person and exchange key fingerprints." Gavin, you want to meet up? Ideas anybody? |

MintChip is DOA: Dead on Arrival

Should I be receiving a copy soon in the mail? Why is everyone getting a copy but me?
|

So you can buy drugs with MintChip and send MintChips across borders. If the gov't of Canada can do this then U.S. politicians must give into bitcoin. I see this as a bitcoin win.
