"The common understanding is that the UK 'helps' Africa through aid, but in reality this serves as a smokescreen for the billions taken out," said Martin Drewry, director of Health Poverty Action, one of the NGOs behind the report. "Let's use more accurate language. It's sustained looting – the opposite of generous giving – and we should recognise that the City of London is at the heart of the global financial system that facilitates this."http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2014/jul/15/aid-africa-west-looting-continent?CMP=twt_gu

In making its recommendations, the VCAT specifically addressed NIST's interactions with the National Security Agency (NSA). The report states, "NIST may seek the advice of the NSA on cryptographic matters but it must be in a position to assess it and reject it when warranted."
"The report also recommends that NIST review the current requirement for interaction with the NSA and recommends changes in instances where it "hinders [NIST's] ability to independently develop the best cryptographic standards."
"We will continue to work with the best cryptography experts in the world, both inside and outside of government," said May. "At the same time, we recognize and agree with the VCAT that NIST must strengthen its in-house cryptography capabilities to ensure we can reach independent conclusions about the merits of specific algorithms or standards."http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/releases/crypto-review-071414.cfm

Bitcoin down, Mr. Shill. Amazing how "people" like you can't seem to fathom a world where both Bitcoin and gold flourish. No matter, more profits for me. Thanks. Oh, and since when does the Bitcoin community give two shits about journalists negging Bitcoin? Same goes for PMs in my book. Let them scream bloody murder, I'll be laughing. you know, there's a reason why your name has a little "t". |

The bad actors and incompetent have been incentivised to keep on failing whilst productive, law-abiding savers have been disenfranchised and stolen from ... bailouts and inflation.
Krugman was not just an apologist for this criminal behaviour but a vociferous proponent and political activist in many ways. He should be indicted imho, leaving academia in disgrace is too good for him.
Notice too the connection between Krugman and all those "bad actors" in our society who reap the benefits. The mindset is exactly the same: Narcissist, big ego, too-big-to-fail, bullying, condescending, low EQ and no empathy, and eventually unmasked and dismissed for being incompetent. There are not many differences between Krugman and many awful C-level executives that I've met in my day. great observation. |

you guys should take the time to read all the articles on this event. Could it be the beginning of the end for the Keynesian Theory school of thought? After all, Krugman has been one of its major proponents over the years. Several mentions of the gold proponents arguments were put forward as ground for getting rid of Krugman. |

On this one I agree with him .. it will be on the Namecoin blockchain. It has more space and tools set-up to store title hashes already, also it is merged-mined with bitcoin so provides a similar level of hash-power security. Smart contracts will be better performed by low computational cost transactional servers like openTXS servers, with linkages to hashes anchored in the namecoin blockchain. None of this is new but people chose to listen to fairy tales instead of putting in the hard yards to understand. well then, you agree with me first: "The blockchain may only ever be applicable to Bitcoin as Money"-cypherdoc |

“The Internet revolution is accelerating this year and I imagine that, sooner or later, Rakuten will start accepting money in the form of bitcoin (an internet virtual currency).
Bitcoin offered a more stable option to some countries even over their own national currencies, he added."
Another potentially interesting angle is that Rakuten has its own bank, offers credit cards, has its own securities brokerage and runs the e-cash network of RFID-chip cards known as Edy.http://www.coindesk.com/japanese-retail-giant-rakuten-hints-bitcoin-acceptance/
