Warren Buffett was on CNBC one morning to field questions about his investments, he was asked about Bitcoin and his answer was uninformed and naive. How could the world’s greatest investor be so wrong about what some consider the world’s great investment?
After doing some research on the matter it would be fair to say that Buffett should spend more time with his protégé Patrick Byrne, CEO of Overstock. Patrick Byrne sees ..Read More

GK: What potential risks could a soft fork pose if this were to be implemented using one?

PT: The feature itself may have a bug in it. However it’s implemented in about five lines of easy to review code, so that’s a relatively small risk. The bigger risk is to miners: during and after the upgrade it’s possible that non-upgraded miners could create invalid blocks accidentally, losing the funds associated with those blocks. However Bitcoin Core includes protections against this – partly written by myself – that mostly ensure old miners are forward compatible with new miners by ensuring they’ll never mine blocks containing transactions with opcodes reserved for upgrades.

Matt O’Brien from the Atlantic argues that Bitcoin has problems. He says: “Its product doesn’t work, and its early adopters are still incredibly self-satisfied—because it’s making them rich. But the product really doesn’t work.”

Thanks for the advice. We usually modify the pics we choose, either by over saturating, changing the contrast or adding other things to it. But, to be honest.. you are right, it still is very close.

We just took a look to actually find the right source and saw that it is being used by many other sites in different contexts all over the web. But I would say that this is the original source:

INFINITE CRISIS: FIGHT FOR THE MULTIVERSE #1

I don't think we are in danger of any action against us, we are too small still. Going forward, I have told the guys to modify more. Being taken seriously is important to us, but this article was light-hearted and the pic was chosen so it would be shared on social media more.

I appreciate your feedback, and if you aren't too offended... it would be awesome if you joined our Beta program. We are attempting to do something really cool with trying to solved the viewablity problem that most publishers are facing today. Blockchain tech could be one of the solutions.

As for the IRC logs, again.. just trying to be light hearted. The actual article we sourced was well written and very good, so the reader wins.

I respect the devs (all of them) and love to read those logs and the mailing list. Could be one of the better places to learn.

Made the picture smaller.
