Hopefully, this doesn't encourage other VPS/service/host providers to decline service to any potential future bitcoin sites. If slush/bitcoinica successfully convice Linode to compensate them in some significant way, then the lesson for other hosts is that "bitcoin losses will hurt or kill us". In any event, I bet every major host is double checking their TOS and reminding their clientele that they don't cover "imaginary webzone dollar" losses.

yay for leap day! good thing the earth has a screwy yearly cycle
Earth's orbiting cycle is nearly perfect. It's the calendar makers that were screwy. Would you use a ruler that had 12 different sized "inches" on it? |

I am just a HUGE hater of crowdfunding It's easy to hate what you don't understand. The business mentality doesn't understand sharing, helping others, donations, generosity, kindness or being socially responsible. |

Unfortunately, serious SEO requires access to the underlying page script, like META tags and the like. At least that was the case back when I was a Notepad web warrior.
I would also like to see game companies like Blizzard, makers of the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, and Diablo III, accept bitcoin. Not to mention Mojang, creators of the highly popular open world creative game Minecraft, and Cobalt, a game that is not Minecraft. Also, Scrolls, a game that is often confused with Bethesda Softwork's The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which is not Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.

Unable to mine on the latest p2pool with ufasoft .28. No error message given, just sits at 0 KHash/second. Reverting to .27 works fine.

Reverted to Nvidia 280.26 drivers and CGMiner works without crashing again. Sad to see the loss of CPU mining from it though.

Thinking about the growth problem, I was contemplating solutions that might be feasible. I began thinking about how we could evenly and fairly distribute hash power so that everyone is in a sub-p2pool that would benefit both them, and the bitcoin network at large. I imagine a system where the a miner's geolocation was determined, either using geoip services, or allowing the miner to specify their location, and then using that data to connect to others in the same graticule (1 degree x 1 degree area on the globe). If that graticule does not provide enough hashing power to produce blocks on a desired basis, then that subpool will connect with neighboring graticules. Each subpool is represented in the hash chain by a hash of all the graticules that the subpool serves. Subpools would have to determine if they should reconfigure themselves on a certain timescale to redistribute hashing power as needed. I know it sounds complicated, but I really think it would be an interesting solution to a unique problem.
Edit: Of course, one of the other issues that this would help with is latency, which I didn't mention originally, but is a big reason to base it off of geoip.

Glad to see game developers thinking about bitcoin. Still waiting for Minecraft to accept them.

Since litigation has replaced merit in the marketplace of ideas, it follows that bribery will replace jurisprudence in the courtroom. I suspect that hidden partitions and darknets will be the only freedom and hope for justice.
Or we can abandon the counterproductive capitalism religion and start acting rationally. |

This is such a lame patent, I would be surprised if it ever stood up in court. |

Well done! Looking forward to a richer bitcoin ecosystem.

Nice idea. The fact that payments have to go through a third party is a bit worrisome. I'm looking forward to client side software that allows visitors donate directly to those content creators from which they consume in proportion to their consumption. Ideally, a browser addon that works with embedded addresses in the content that keeps track of how many times you visit a webpage or watch a video, and then gives you hard data about what you consume, how often, and gives an address to send to. No third parties required to transact, or even raise privacy questions with.

They already said that they fixed the twitter problem, just implmenting new features to the site/platform. Hopefully up sooner than later.

A network of 3d printers/vending machines/supply storage/robot vehicles that autonomously warehouse, package, transport, resupply and vend/print that uses bitcoin as their command and control protocol.
