You mean the Yahoo corporation that hosts branch offices and in-house servers for NSA data-trawling and cyber-snooping is biased against unregulated P2P ... how shocking.
Yahoo has sucked for a long time ... now they are just a grey-faced government lackey that sucks.

Just observing, not complaining ... bit sensitive?
Not sensitive - but realistic - if people don't contribute funds then how do they think that things will get done? Things are happening but only at the rate that the funds that have been made available can make them happen. So what ... you are saying now open source projects need funding or they will never happen? Sounds like you might be in the wrong game if open source has become about the money for you ... and besides there is over 6k available in total for this project, which you are probably well aware of, and it doesn't seem to have inspired anybody greatly anyway. Interested to know what price would you have put on getting this done professionally (not some intern, learner , etc)? |

It's not a grey area in the US, very black and white. If you exchange USD for Virtual Convertible Currency (i.e. Bitcoin) you are obligated to register with the Federal Government (the FinCEN Guideline). Do you know how unworkably absurd that sounds to real people? ... and yet you parrot it like it should mean something deep to someone. If you are playing with virtual currencies on the internet you need to be registered with the Federal govt. ... uh-huh. Is that like in the rules for the MMPOG game or something, like the virtual in-world Federal govt. or the Galactic Federation Council of Elders? I'm sure you've got better things to be doing with your time than reminding everyone of all their obligations under the massive set of federal laws now at their disposal. I bet you could find someone doing something wrong every minute of every day and you could talk to in a stern voice ... "Do you realise that it is black and white ... blah-blah-blah ... tune out.... illegal?" Is that your goal in life? |

So your status update is ... you haven't done much of anything? Thnx for keeping us in the loop.
Looks like Xenland has stalled out also.
Sure - it may be frustrating to wait for tasks to be finished but are you willing to do something (other than complain)? Just observing, not complaining ... bit sensitive? |

Any there any quantifiable statistical studies to say that fraud with bitcoins is any more or less prevalent than with, say, US$ or Eur?
The sensationalism surrounding some guy on the internet called 'pirate' disappearing with the coinz makes great headlines ... but the Madoff ponzi took upwards of 18,000 million USDOLLARS ... the scale of US Federal Reserve Note fraud alone must be huge (although less eagerly reported perhaps?)
Are bitcoins really any more 'susceptible' to fraud? Mostly it seems like a lot of anecdotal hoopla but until I see some comparative facts, it's just more headline salting, link-baiting.

The .govs are playing their hand, bitcoin is morphing ... a decentralised, open source software network is not going to play by incompatible rules from above, however it may adopt useful ones if they are advantageous for it to compete in the marketplace. The stakes are high so the many opportunities for unintended consequences to arbitrary rulings will have magnified outcomes. Step carefully when treading in foreign minefields?
Anybody know a good lawyer who can write C++?

Apparent weakness in silver again—what's up with that?
Seems to be the consensus among those I pay attention to that gold will lead silver on the next leg up but that silver will outperform as usual. Nobody seems prepared to call a bottom at this point. Possibly because some of them have in the recent past and been badly humiliated. I called bottom at $1200 late Jun-early July ... just for the record, not on this board though but my followers (all 2 of them) know. We'll see I guess. |

hey, I'm one of the people working on the holy grail tasks. Sorry, but so far I've not done much yet  I set up the dev environment and started playing around a bit but due to lots of real-life stuff and needing a holiday I haven't done much real work on it yet. However I do have free time and skills, so don't worry, I just had some higher priority tasks to take care of first  Just wanted to give you a status update from my side, from what I saw Xenland is working hard on his tasks. So your status update is ... you haven't done much of anything? Thnx for keeping us in the loop. Looks like Xenland has stalled out also. |

Mt. Gox has been a honeypot (where willingly or unwittingly) since mid 2011.
I thought everyone knew that already?
dyodd.

There is an ironic symmetry here in that the Winklevoss twins were appealing to Larry Summer's (then chair of Havard) better sensibilities early on in the case against Zuckerberg and The Facebook. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2011/07/20/former-harvard-president-larry-summers-slams-winklevoss-twins/Now Winklevi are open supporters of bitcoin, a competitor to Federal reserve paper/digital sub-prime backed dollar products ... and Zuckerberg is pimping out his user's data/secrets for the NSA, (apparently whilst harbouring contempt for anyone stupid enough to use the service) ... the world turns. Pass the popcorn. |

Well, glad I choose PayPal, because that gives me the opportunity to claim my funds back after the order date.. Again, very strange that such thing happens. It looked a very real magazine to me at first. Good luck.
bitcoinmagazine is not a scam ... you must have fallen through the cracks somehow. |

I would say completely anonymity is far from realistic. I don't think we are ready for that. Completely anonymity increases the chance of ugly things e.g. Ponzi and also decreases the chance of the winning of Bitcoin. We need a balance between anonymity and regulation.
You're delusional. Anonymous cash has been the preferred form of money for over 2 millenia. It is only the advent of state digital fiat in the last 25 years that has opened the possibility for central planners/economists/LE to seize upon digital traceable currency as a silver bullet for every problem in the world. Predictably, it is unravelling into an unworkable mess. |

We need full anonimity Jeff Garzik doesn't think so, so you won't get it. His opinion is that let them spy on you is good price for letting you spy on them, and that bitcoin is a good tool for it. Money doesn't work like that. It's a utopian dream, and totally impractical, to expect the market to choose inferior "everyone-knows-who-I-am-and-what-I-do-with-my-money" monetary product ahead of a fully private product. If you purport to be in favour of such a crap type of non-private money, I find the following question to weed out the pretenders ... "Would you like to please post publicly how much you earn?" |

ciyam open says it is "Coding - Pending" for both, but I have no idea what it means.
The Pending status means that the tasks have been assigned and are presumably under development. When does "presumably under development" get changed to "likely bounty squatting" ? |

The United Auto Workers and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 25, two of the Detroit's public union leader heads organised a news conference on the second half of Monday to discuss the alleged constitutional violations in the Detroit's bankruptcy petition.
"I am outraged at how the city's 20,000 public-sector employees have been treated by the governor and the city's new leadership. I know how bargaining can work in difficult crisis situations," Bob King, united auto workers president said.
"In the auto industry, labour with management, the community and government, we all worked together and look at the industry now."
Streets of the city saw Firefighters yesterday from plenty dozen engine houses who organised rallies across Detroit. These rallies would be followed by a series of such gatherings every day in this week. Participating workers at the protest said that the rallies are not strikes but rather are "a way to send a message to city residents." http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/493573/20130723/detroit-bankruptcy-hearing-federal-court-workers-protest.htmWonder what that message is? ... "the looting is going to get really ugly from here on in" springs to mind. |

I predict more cities will file for Chapter 11.
I don't think that qualifies as a 'prediction' any longer. It is a mathematical certainty. It's called "taxing themselves to prosperity" .... prosperity is sufficiently loosely defined that it can mean anything your local socialist politician wants it to mean. |
