Interesting Olympics. The hot climate gave produced some problems, for snow boarders such as Shaun White for example.
The accommodation problems showed that the Olympic Committee perhaps should be less open to let cities without winter sports experience host the games.
Overall I enjoyed the games a lot though, it is hard to demolish the intense excitement and friendly spirit that the that Olympics is accompanied with.

Hi!
I'm from Sweden and I've been following the crypto currencies since the first articles hit the main stream press years ago.
Lately my interest in crypto currencies has increased again. After reading about NXT and then NEM I'm confident that NEM could be the currency that to dethrone Bitcoin, by correcting flaws and bringing new new features.

I've been critical of the mining process because I think it is not an energy efficient method and I think NEMs even distributing to share holders will help the currency to the gain traction and prevent the massively uneven capital allocation that is widely disliked. I am interested in translating NEM-related content into Swedish, as I am fluent in both Swedish and English.

I would be delighted to be included in the genesis block.

Congratulations Canada for ice hockey gold!
You had a strong lineup and played well in the deciding games.

Can someone explain for the non-programmers/non-cryptographers what is the difference between Anoncoin and Darkcoin, please?

Darkcoin plans to use "CoinJoin": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=279249.0

Anoncoin plans to use Zerocoin: http://zerocoin.org/

I'm not sure on which is more anonymous.. I think we should start a debate thread perhaps. Smiley
Yes, please. That would be an interesting read.

I like the idea. Iceland is technologically advanced enough for almost the whole population to be able understand the gift and its potential. A similar global project would fail.

Eftersom det fortfarande kommer många altcoins med betydligt förbättrande funktioner så känns inte namn + inbyggd donation som tillräckligt existensberättigande för ännu ett altcoin.

Alla virtuella valutor förutom Bitcoin lider kraftigt av för liten användarbas. Jag tror inte att unionsförespråkare är en tillräckligt stor grupp för lyckas överkomma det hindret.

Angående unionsfrågan rent politiskt så är de länder som med i EU bakbundna från att fatta beslut av den typen som behövs för att unionen ska få någon betydelse förutom namnet.  Det gäller även om samtliga länderna i den nordiska unionen går med i EU.

Safer probably, as long as someone can't easily walk away with the safe. But it's less convenient and more time taking if have to type it every time.

Trevligt. Det blir lätt en snöbollseffekt om någon så respektabel som inet ger möjligheten.
14  Local / Skandinavisk / Re: En kryptovaluta med grund i en Nordisk Union on: February 17, 2014, 08:15:19 PM
Jag ser inte riktigt behovet av en ny kryptovaluta. Skulle det inte gå att göra en existerande kryptovaluta stor i skandinavien trots att den inte var skapad speciellt för denna marknaden? Ni kan ju donera för unionsskapande ändamål ändå, t.ex. genom att skylta med en donationsplånbok.

Long story short, I wrote to a girl over half a year ago in facebook telling her I used to have feelings for her, she was my classmate 6 years prior, she didn't respond, a couple of days later her boyfriend more than twice her age(between 45-50) tells me some shit and threatens me that the town is small(it's 70-75k pop). I responded with a statement that if he is threatening me I will call the police and quickly blocked him from facebook.

Today I go to the local supermarket and surprise surprise, he walks out of the supermarket with the girl - my hair almost turned white. Such a coincidence was just fucking too insane.
The possibility that you would meet them at least once in a 70-75k pop town during more than half a year is not small.
Had you met them the day after he wrote to you, I would wager it wasn't by chance. But over half a year later, it is not surprising.

Yes, the silent treatment is the best option for the agenda that Obama is pushing. Attention will mostly help Bitcoin.

I've heard good things about this little piece of software: https://lastpass.com/

Hackable, so that won't work.

My $.02.

There is always a risk to be hacked when you connect to the internet.
Maybe you prefer some of the offline password managers?

Ahh,,this year ice hockey sucks..

Russia and US in the same group... has to watch the match between both of them.


USA v Russia on 2/15 at 7:00am EST.....super excited.  I think this year is going to be great for hockey!  There are essentially 4 top teams: USA, Canada, Russia and Sweden that should go to the medal games.  With Zetterberg out it could hurt Swedens chances, but I think it will be a great year for Olympic hockey
Yeah Sweden would have a considerably stronger lineup if injuries didn't hit Henrik Sedin, Johan Franzen and Henrik Zetterberg. Two Sedin twins on the ice is preferable to one twin.
