no mas? 

very cool project.  might as well get a multiplier effect going:

i'm going to pass my 500 mBTC generously given to me by New Liberty (thank you, i am honored!) to the matching Armory Simulfunding Project.  Alan (etotheipi) emailed me the other day asking for a donation and i think this will be perfect.  Plus, it will jog me to install his new 0.92 version so i can get some experience with multi-sig tx's.  from his website:

"To promote our revolutionary new multi-signature interface with simultaneous funding (aka simulfunding), Armory Technologies, Inc. (ATI) is offering to match up to 20 BTC in donations to a list of organizations & charities that promote Bitcoin, open-source, and digital freedoms.  The new simulfunding interface enables us to create and execute a very simple Bitcoin contract:  "if you donate X bitcoins to this organization, we will donate X bitcoins too."   The Bitcoin net"work enforces this agreement, removing the need for the two parties to trust each other.   The latest release of Armory unlocks this feature of the Bitcoin network and we are using it as an opportunity to donate to organizations that we support."

so am i to understand that online and offline 0.91.2 will work on 12.04.4?

for someone who claims to understand financial game theory as well as anyone, Rickards fails miserably when he says the Bitcoin "community" can just get together and back Bitcoin with gold. he sees "that" as a good idea.  such failure in the understanding of the game theory behind voluntary open source software participation.  we're all here because the supply is fixed and not backed by gold.  any fork that deviates from that will get ignored and fail miserably.  there's no "getting together".

it was a deeply failed "debate".  both those old dudes didn't want to get into a real debate as they've been on the same wavelength for so long that they didn't want to step on each others toes so they lamely met in the middle of Bitcoin and gold being complementary.  having said that, at least Rickards isn't as openly hostile towards Bitcoin as he's been in the past and we now have Turk openly supporting Bitcoin.  that's progress.

the pain w/ this upgrade just won't stop.  just now am almost done downloading bc to 12.04.4.  as you know, have been having trouble with the torrent so had to resort to p2p.  now i'll have to install 12.04.3 on both systems along with the bc.

i think i'll just wait for everything to be 12.04.4 compatible

yeah that's it.  what should i do?

so i tried to install the offline bundle to 12.04 LT 32 bit Ubuntu but it says a python-qt4 library was missing.

Jim Rickards vs. James Turk

Rickards has come a long way but still doesn't understand Bitcoin. Turk is OK, but also misses so much.  They both think gold and Bitcoin are complementary. Wrong :

follow thru on high volume... and it's still early in the day comparatively:

i meant look the hell out if you have traditional financial investments.

1.  silver trying to hold on -->  leads gold.
2.  hint:  SLW negative.
3.  during the last crisis, both the USD and UST strengthened.  it's likely we won't be so lucky this time and may only get one of those sought as a safe haven.  take your pick which one but the point is it represents degradation if we get only one.

so today's follow-on from yesterday's bullish engulfing daily candle tells us a few important things:

1.  we've likely had a major reversal in trend from an intermediate term bottom at 555.9
2.  this is the first, and possibly the 2nd time in Bitcoin's history where we might be able to claim that it is a safe haven from traditional financial turmoil, as in Cyprus, and yesterday's -317.06 stock mkt crash.
3.  despite today's gold bounce, the fact that yesterday they were inversely correlated during the stock mkt crash, tells me at least, that this inverse correlation will continue.  i consider gold's bounce today a dead cat bounce.
4.  there's more to come to the downside in traditional mkts-we've likely hit the extended 4yr cycle top in the Dow
5.  for the last 5yr, the primary dealers have laid all their toxic debt off on their sovereigns; the next crisis is likely to happen in sovereign debt.  we came close with Greece and Cyprus.  but now Argentina looks to be the straw that breaks the camel's back.  
6.  look the hell out.

Excuse me for interrupting but,

Rally time!

actually, there was one other reason i gave it up; tvbcof.

that SOB would constantly troll me and my newsletter, out of envy i'd guess, trying to provoke me.  you can tell he's envious b/c of the things he says about how y'all ought to be thanking him for making this or that call.  he'd say all sorts of disrespectful stuff to try and discourage subscribers to my letter.  as a professional with a Bitcoin business, i couldn't fight back.  now that i've discontinued it, the gloves are off any time he comes around here and trolls me for no good reason.  i'll bet he even noticed a pick up in my willingness to retort but doesn't know why. now he does.  

just a little history.

if you'll remember, i established the newsletter cuz i was getting tired of sharing my ideas only to be heavily trolled here in this thread.  figured i'd just share with the ppl who appreciated me.

did that, was highly successful, trolling here mostly disappeared, i got tired of publishing it, and now i'm right back here still doing it. 

you can see why Apple was forced to reimplement Bitcoin wallets:
