What good are secrets?

They're a bunch of scam artists. Self appointed and donation funded but no actions. It's like the funds are donated only to keep them alive for the what if.

The blockchain is already 15 GiB. Bitcoin can't replace credit cards if we don't solve this problem.

Why should it be secret?

*tin foil hat on*

- IT'S THE END OF BITCOIN!

You think that's bad, look at this rediculous bullshit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24792;sa=statPanel

Actually, the idea is not bad ... so, how about:

Title: Death of a Salesman 2 - Lomans Revenge
Topic: Tragedy-Action - Willy Loman never died, he faked his death to escape from his family (huge twist at the beginning of the story) and now he is seeking revenge at his former working place for making him selling useless crap for 30 years.
34 Chapters

Loman is hiding in some old abandoned opera house in the middle of nowhere, playing the piano loud at midnight, laughing, screaming "the time has come" and trying to construct a timemachine during the day...to go back to the past and change his job choice... but he is also now dealing smack, which he is cooking up in his opera house and selling it to some local drug dealers which are affiliated with the irish IRA. All hell breaks lose when one day his twin brother gets caught up in all of this (twist - related to the first part - cause audience doesnt know he had a twin brother)... Willy gets shot in the leg and kills the head honcho of the drug cartel ... but can he construct the time machine just in time to go back and save his brother and change the past before the IRA will find him?

Open-ended - potential trilogy (including the first part)

I think that could be worth 1 BTC.

Indeed, FINRA halted trading on TWTRQ,  so they probably guaranteed an early loss for those folks,   then a couple days later, halted trades and quotations for ALL  OTC stocks -- the entire OTC market for a few days.  TWTRQ was forced to change their ticker symbol,  because of Twitter idiots.

Then in January, after Google's acquisition of NEST.....   Penny stock Nestor   spiked  over 1900%

Is this the reason why the price of BTC is dropping at Bitstamp?

Seems like it hasn't anyting to do with bitcoin at all, i wonder why they chose that name.

The picture is of the sun.  It is not known if a quantum computer capable of implementing shor's algorithm on 256 bit ECDSA keys will ever be possible.  Even with a quantum computer if the pubkey is unknown Shor's algorithm can't be used.

Step 1: Have sex, at all.

I am trying to list the wise the decisions made by Satoshi. Can you help me list some more?

• He used two rounds of hashing in the nonce finding process so as minimize the risk of SAT solving the nonce at higher difficulties
• He used the elliptic curves which were luckily not the problematic curves suggested NSA
• He made the transaction scripting language non-Turing complete so as to avoid very hard to detect security risks (like escaping the interpreter to root the underlying OS and weird cases of halting problem like having an SPV client embedded in the transaction script)
• He made the Bitcoin divisible into 100 million satoshis so as to avoid the Capitol Hill Babysitting Cooperative problem with deflationary currencies.
• His initial code release was remarkably free of buffer overflows, and other security vulnerabilities
