thailand is popular - it's cheap (enough) and expat friendly

try phuket or pattaya or whatever is popular among freelancers these days

+1 for thailand, plenty of freelancers there, the philippines are also getting more and more expat friendly

anyone knows how Windows Defender is doing ?
I heard even as being Windows it may not be that bad.
I guess anyway the best antivirus is between the keyboard and the desk...

The selection is interesting but you can try CryptSync as well, it's got some nice automatic features and uses built in 7z encryption, so you can always decrypt your files externally.
You can easily set it up to replicate on some NAS, GDrive, Dropbox... However it does not do plausible deniability or volume encryption.

I don't think you understand exactly what 'digital' means, however, I shall tell you:

Most likely, if the Internet wasn't alive, then it's not a digital currency. Thank you.


whilst you are correct that the definition (which could be amended) includes that it is electronically created
a) it was clearly a currency for many centuries

b) Obviously it was digital

dig•it•al (ˈdɪdʒ ɪ tl)

adj.
1. of, pertaining to, or resembling a digit or finger.
2. manipulated with a finger: a digital switch.
3. having digits or digitlike parts.
4. of, pertaining to, or using data in the form of numerical digits: a digital recording.
5. displaying a readout in numerical digits rather than by a pointer or hands on a dial: a digital clock.
6. Computers. involving or using numerical digits expressed in a scale of notation to represent discretely all variables occurring in a problem.
7. of, pertaining to, or using numerical calculations.
8. available in electronic form; readable and manipulable by computer.
n.
9. one of the keys or finger levers of keyboard instruments.
10. a digital device, as a clock or watch.


c) it was virtual

d) it was a medium of exchange

So we could consider the tally stick a digital currency  pre dating electricity/internet

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_currency

Apart from the "electronically created" part of the def. which was not an option in 1100A.D.  it fullfills the virtual and medium of exchange aspects which are arguably the more important part.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_of_exchange

Digital currency is a form of virtual currency or medium of exchange

and its aims and effect, to remove power and abuse from money changers/bankers is consistent with the aims of todays virtual and crypto currency  Smiley

additionally the conclusions of the author in the  2006 book may well be altered with the rise of cryptos since 2009

+1
clearly digital to me as well.
however, not really a crypto currency

19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's your percent chance that Bitcoin will be the "Myspace" of cryptos? on: June 27, 2014, 01:27:25 PM
25%
bitcoin has such an advance in term of support, it won't happen in the coming two years.
Design and front end is also not part of bitcoin and can be adjusted, so it wont be the cause of demise.
For BTC be MySpaced, we would need to see some real breakthrough, not just altcoins...
