Too late for my daughter but I hope my grandchildren will get to have the Diamond Age version.

Benefits
- Increased network security for both block chains (more hashing power, as you no longer need to choose between mining one or the other).
- Mining becomes more profitable (mining two currencies at the same hash rate for the same kWh. If you don't care about Namecoin you can just sell the mined NMC for BTC).

Follow the instructions here: https://masterpool.eu/proxy

Btw, if you already use FoxyProxy then you are better off adding the proxy manually because the .xml file will override previous settings. Here is a guide for manual configuration: http://dot-bit.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=215&start=10#p1158

I'm buying namecoins with BTC. Pm me your rates and how many you have available for sale.

From a 4chan /gif/ thread. Was so random I lol'ed hard.

Lots of talk about steganography here on the forum so I decided to try it out. I tried steghide which seems to be the better known program for linux but couldn't get it to work, whenever I embed it gives me an "Empty JPEG image (DNL not supported)" error. Any other recommended programs?

I’ve been thinking, how will it be possible for shares traded in a currency that has a limited supply to rise or even maintain their value? The more valuable bitcoins become, the less profit a company will be able to generate and the less valuable their assets will become (in bitcoins), so there should be a downward pressure on the price of its shares. An example:

Company A issues 1000 shares at 1 BTC each to buy some equipment that will generate 50 BTC in monthly profits. After a couple of months the price of bitcoins have doubled and so the company can only generate 25 BTC. Company B is born and issue 1000 shares at 0.5 BTC to buy the exact same equipment (which now only costs half the amount of bitcoins) and generate 25 BTC. Shareholders of company A start selling their stock to buy from company B since they can get double the amount of shares on a company that’s basically a clone of the previous. Finally the prices of A’s stock fall until they level out with B.

Is my logic terribly flawed somewhere?

Btw, if this holds true I’m not suggesting that just holding bitcoins would always be better than buying stock since even if your stock loses value you can still make more than your initial investment from dividends.

So Wikipedia says that the computing power of Folding@Home is of ~7.87 petaFLOPS, while Bitcoin's power is at ~10.16 petaFLOPS, according to Bitcoin Watch. Any idea how accurate these numbers are?
