I listened to the interview back when this thread started, and it does have a kind of "underpants gnomes" feel to it.  The VP doesn't really articulate clearly how the coin is going to solve the cloud-support problem, why it needs Turing-complete scripting, or the basis for choosing Ethereum as the base.  It's possible that as a VP, he just doesn't understand these things, though.

Where can I read about SSD's steganographic features?  I didn't see it mentioned in the ANN thread's OP.

Some time ago, Knowles said he's abandoning it due to disinterest from NXT core developers.  However, if you follow the link I gave above you'll see that NxtAT is still very much alive.  Presumably Knowles gave the funds to the developers who are continuing the project.  You might ask them for verification.

It depends on how long it takes to read a set of scoops.  If it takes more than 30s or so, you may sometimes miss a short deadline.

The burstcoin community is young, but so far is showing relatively little avarice.

This is on the roadmap in the OP, but it may take a while to design.  (I am not privy to the design process, though.)  Read the maidsafe whitepapers for an overview of some of the wrinkles.

familiaverde was likely correcting the previous report, which was off slightly (by 5 burst.)

Someone said recently that introspection is good and one should try to evolve...  Good advice, I think.

Vitalik's latest talk is very interesting.  He's extremely verbose, as ever, but I'm impressed with the honesty and thoughtfulness with which he's facing up to the potential problems.

What is this new PoC?

I watched it from 37m on.  Antonopoulos is a consummate diplomat, that's for sure.

Adding condescending praise and a smiley doesn't make you any less of a sadistic asshole.  Try taking your own advice.

I don't really follow it, but I hear bittrex has the highest volume, so that may be the best place for a quick trade.

For a limit order which you might want to adjust before it executes, I believe C-CEX (note: referral link) is better than bittrex or poloniex because C-CEX takes their fee from the executed trade, whereas the others take theirs at the time you place the order.  I've heard that some people have had trouble withdrawing funds from C-CEX, but personally I have had no such difficulties, and I have withdrawn significant amounts of both burst and bitcoin.

Wow, awesome stuff, thanks again!

TC might be a bad idea, anyway.  Seems like any sufficiently powerful cryptocurrency may contain the seeds of its own destruction.

Can you please provide some context for this to explain why it's interesting?  So far, it appears to be a parliamentary discussion of economics.  What's amazing about it?

I don't understand why you guys care so much about the current price or what investors are going to think.  A low price is good right now, jump in!  I'm HOPING the price will drop to 100s.

If investing in burst or drives for mining  has caused you a cash-flow problem, investing in anything was a poor financial choice.  Otherwise, why not keep developing the burst ecosystem?  That's what's going to lead to a sustainable price rise... fretting about who to market it to in the mean time is silly.

Go away.

BURST is pretty easy to review if you know java and trust NXT.

Thank you, that is extremely helpful.

There are a lot of short blocks with increasing basetargets.  Does anyone know what's going on?

I really don't have a dog in this fight, but some people do still seem to be developing Automated Transactions.
