Clearly anybody advocating competing currencies, voluntary money and an alternative to the current fiat money system can find a lot of common ground. Natural allies.

DDOS?

Thankfully we will always have:

We need multiple redundancy at every point.

Suprisingly good and well researched article. Definitely better written than all that noise we are reading lately. Even went to the trouble of researching Satoshi's forum posts and asking Gavin tough questions on regulation, etc..

I think if the U.S. government decided that Bitcoin was a bad thing and told me, “Stop doing what you’re doing,” I’d stop doing what I’m doing, quite frankly. But that wouldn’t be very effective, because there are people all over the world who could pick up and reimplement it"

Me impresiona lo vagos que son algunos periodistas que plagian un artículo anterior ¡y ni siquiera se molestan en corregir errores evidentes!

Ridículo:

I found a security flaw which allowed a thief to steal bitcoins from a company.
I contacted them and they don't reply, what should I do?
I want to see the security issue resolved, and the company in question is not responding to me.

The security flaw is so stupid that it most likely got overlooked.

Take 100 BTC to prove it. Make it public. Return the coins when you get an apology and a thankyou.

Seriously, if I was in charge of that co. I would be desperate to be the first to know about potential flaws and would offer a sizeable bounty for anybody that pointed them out (with proof).

Hombre... lo suyo es tener un monedero distino en la app y online. Así usas el smartphone como usarías la cartera y usas blockchain.info como usarías la caja fuerte del banco.

Además no se si habrás visto que en blockchain también puedes tener direcciones "watch only", por ejemplo para vigilar tus monederos de papel, que son mucho más seguros. Por no hablar de los "monederos mentales"....

Al final con Bitcoin tu determinas el nivel de seguridad y tu te haces responsable. Blockchain te da herramientas como para satisfacer al mas paranoico de los espías... pero si tu luego vas y eres tan descuidado como un niño pequeño, sólo puedes culparte a ti mismo.

¿Cuántas veces sales a la calle con un fajo de billetes de € 500 en el bolsillo? Pues aplica el mismo nivel de precaución a tus bitcoins..

Rickards explains the difference between "paper gold" and physical gold. His points are applicable to bitcoin.

BitPay has over 4,000 merchants on its payments platform and is acquiring new merchants at a rate of 1,000 per month, the company says. It also recently announced that it has integrated its payment platform with Amazon’s fulfillment services, enabling merchants to combine frictionless international payments with international shipping in a fully-automated system.

Yo me lo he vuelto a comprar en pdf. Y estoy deseando que salga la versión de papel para hacerme con una. No dudo que se convertirá en un ejemplar de coleccionista.

El libro es excelente, y en CoinDL está por sólo 0.069 BTC. Yo lo recomiendo a todo el mundo que quiere conocer Bitcoin.

...y a los que ya sabéis mucho ¡es la mejor forma de agradecerle a majamalu todo el esfuerzo que hace al frente de http://elbitcoin.org/ !

¡Así que espero que lo compréis todos!

If you are retired and € 100.000 is all your life's savings... How many years will you be able to live on that?

Count me in Mike. Happy to help.

Rickards is a smart guy, and doesn't speak lightly. He's been aware of Bitcoin for a while, but it's meaningful that he has choosen to speak out now...

I highly recommend "Currency Wars" btw.
