Help do you have an address I can donate to? I'd like to support your efforts financially.

That is an inconvenience, not a weakness. This is why newbies shouldn't be making classes, now your going to spread false information to people who will think your an expert. Thank you for spreading misinformation. Gweedo my goal is to help people understand how Bitcoin works. Maybe one day, i'll be as knowledgeable and wonderful as you, but until then I'm simply going to continue working hard and answering as many questions as I can. You may have also noticed that I have reached out to many experts within the community including Wladimir J. van der Laan to help me edit and refine my content. In all the software projects I've worked on, weaknesses are not just considered security flaws. If I build a system that requires my users to do something cumbersome to be safe, then most users will not do it. I am truly sorry such a concept is lost to you. I am also sorry that I have offended you in some way by building a free course with members of this community. |

There are no weakness, there are inconveniences but weakness would suggest it can be hacked and it really can't be hack This reminds me of a quote from one of the devs of internet explorer saying that if IE 6 is used properly it is almost unhackable. There is a world of difference between proper use and actual use. I'm discussing weaknesses in terms of useability or encouraging potentially unsafe behavior. The key pool purge after encryption is an example on a weakness in my opinion for those backing up their wallet. |

Look up the meaning of ponzi scheme. No really look it up. You need to actually read it and understand it. Then pick your date. I can't make it any more clear. If they have a working product and are able to deliver all of said product to the consumers who have ordered it while maintaining a profit, then by definition they are not a ponzi scheme. I strongly suggest you look up what a ponzi scheme is before attacking me. If they cannot deliver by some date we choose, then we have the right to request a refund in mass. If BFL cannot refund our money and have no product, then yes they are a ponzi scheme. Then I and my lawyers will call for a both an investigation by the government and also a class action lawsuit. The management will return to prison and we will address the ASIC issue in a more transparent and open way. |

Ok let's actually solve this problem then. Let's pick a date and if BFL has not shipped by then, we agree to start a list for a class action lawsuit for fraud.

Lets hope the singles and little singles start shipping soon too. Otherwise the advantage of the early jalapeno will outweigh the hashing advantage of much later shipped singles and little singles which would be a slap in the face to those who unwittingly loaned them their operating budget (people who ordered the expensive gear). Guys if a person cannot recoup their investment of 300 dollars with a 5 G/hash client, then mining is dead for the little guy. That's just the reality. No one is selling 1000 G/hash units for under 50k. Name one non-commercial mining who can afford that? |

Help if you are really serious about this forked press, then please contact me. I'd like to help you, but we also need to discuss the introduction of new people into the bitcoin community. This is essential for the future of bitcoin.

Great idea. It would be a nice complementary if you could add the Namecoin history also. Could everyone request my four threads become a sticky. This is really important and we need to push the mods to commit. If not me, then at least a place for someone to archive the history of Bitcoin. I'm also working on something similar: a book on the history of Bitcoin titled "Million Dollar Pizza". Like Charles, I plan to emphasize Bitcoin's history as told by those who made it happen.
Million Dollar Pizza will be available for free download, and I'll post draft chapters when they are ready. Email me ribuck: charles.hoskinson@gmail.comI think we can collaborate |

Hi there! I had joined the press team because I thought Bitcoin needed something like this and because it is quite a challenge to set up and operate a non-corporate communication department without hierarchical structures with some decider on top. But I have the feeling the experiment has already failed and we need to re-think how to run such a thing. It cannot work the way it does now with some two or three people determining political correctness and an according content strategy, believing they speak for the whole community, which they are not.
Maybe we need more than one press center, different press centers with different editorial boards and different approaches and communication goals. Just like the community has different motivations, visions and points of view on the world.
We could have a competition between these press centers and the press could choose where to go to find stories and interviewees.
The way it's running now is a ridiculous attempt of a few people to promote their own views and ideologies. And it is not going to stop. What if one of the 'accepted' interviewees says something that does not suit one of the censors?
The press center right now is not even a service to the press as it is totally biased and does not reflect the diversity of the community at all. Right now the press center is a huge lie actually . And the press people are not so stupid not to realise that.
I can imagine that a forked press center is on the way already.
Joe Very well said Joe. |

Satoshi will never come forward and anyone who claims to be him is a fraud. Satoshi is likely Wenbo Mao and the Chinese government will go after him if he is revealed

Insert Quote
can you make a blog or news feed with the new courses you add?
or here in the forum, as you want.. I'd like them to give me a subforum for my efforts, but that will have to be earned. I'll create a mailing list at some point. Signup for the class and I'll have the ability to push updates to you. |

It is censorship who cares, well guess what, bitcoin isn't about politics and censorship, and I will keep fighting that position. As I new member of the Bitcoin Foundation, I will fight against censorship in any way, shape or form  |

Lol, ok delete my bold claim about Satoshi . But in all honesty we are getting really off topic. Any conclusion to Jon and Roger? |

As a first step, I would think it worthwhile to look at some statistics for mean-time-between-spends as a function of input size, possibly splitting up the data in "eras".
The mean-time-between-spends would be easy enough to calculate (I gather from other threads that you are looking at blockchain parsing) and might help in picking out types of inputs (size, past behavior, etc) that are likely to be "dead".
The one point worth making here is that there is no continuity from really long m-t-b-s to "dead", so the temptation to use it as an indicator of a similar input's likelihood of being dead should probably be avoided (and is not the suggestion I'm making). It is important to note that the notion of death is probabilistic and one can never label a coin dead. It is only useful to discuss the idea that a coin is unlikely to ever be spent and thus is effectively out of circulation. I like your idea of eras. And yes I am looking into blockchain parsing. I can write some software with R to conduct an interesting anaylsis. |
