Any votes left ?... who too wants to invest a few minutes and help us ? 

Some perspective on it:

In a discussion about transaction fee, I just sorted out these facts:

For example, if a full 1MB block containing 2000 transactions will broadcast slower than an empty block, thus raise the block orphan rate by 1%, then the pool will lose 1% of the block reward..

Its false. There are 2¹⁶¹ possible addresses. 2¹⁶⁰ for the way the hash ripemd160 works and double that for the two possible prefixes '1' and '3'.

Even if every person (assuming 10 billion) on earth uses a million addresses per second it will last ~ 9,268,782,580,738,856,660,348,077 years

They are not infinite, there is just so many possible addresses out there that for all intents and purposes, it is infinite.

This is very stupid.  Making a new address for each transaction is wasteful.  If you do this, we will soon run out of addresses.  It is better to use the same address many times.  Then, transfer those multiple receives to a paper wallet in the cold.  Don't use up tons of addresses for no reason.  This is very wasteful.  We must protect the blockchain and stop over use of too many addresses that don't need to be created for every new transaction. 

Here's an interesting addendum - https://www.mail-archive.com/bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net/msg06194.html

According to that Satoshi never added a PGP signature to anything.

If that is the case then there's no real way of ever proving who Satoshi is beyond moving the relevant coins. Even then that would only prove that someone had access to those coins.

Satoshi has reached permanent ghosthood.

Thanks for the shout out, RockHound!

Bit_Happy raises an extremely valid point.

For me, applying for this MSc in Digital Currency was a no-brainer.  I plan on eventually going to graduate school and I need a Master's to "make up" for my abysmal undergraduate GPA .


Tao67, I'll address your cons list one by one:

Cons :

- the University of Nicosia is not the best university in the world

That might be true...  Even through the incredibly "objective" paradigm of college rankings:  If and when an actual "best" university in the world, such as MIT, launches a MSc in Digital Currency... UNic will still be #2; furthermore, Unic will still be the 1st University to have started the trend.

- i am afraid it will be only a vague introduction and not enough technical

I think this concern is unfounded.  The courses are not going to be code-intensive so there is that intrinsic cap on how technical things will be getting; however, with Andreas heavily involved in the curriculum design I have no doubt that I will be challenged, regardless.

- it is quite expensive for an online program

The distance learning is a feature and I don't think we should compare UNic to UPheonix online courses.  Furthermore, compared to other Master's programs, UNic is cheaper.

- the best way to work in bitcoin industry, is maybe to do your normal job applied in a bitcoin company

I graduated in May 2013.  I didn't yet exactly have a "normal job" that I could transplant into the Bitcoin industry, which is something a LOT of y'all do.  I think anyone with set skills that they know can be applied in a Bitcoin company right now should try to go that route with the next 18 months.  I would recommend those that are currently finishing their undergraduate degrees, or those that recently received their undergraduate degrees, apply for the entire program. 

I recommend that everyone in the entire fuckin' world sign up for the free Introduction to Digital Currency course.
