Gavin: I think I may have asked this previously ... do you have a donation address?

(One for those of us who would just like to drop a few coins into your own pocket now and then, without signing up to anything.) Thnx.

Edit: you can PM it to me if you would like to keep it private.

Good discussion, some good ideas and solution approachs being raised here to the unresolved hard-coded "fees" issue.

You shouldn't be, it all seems pretty natural from where I'm sitting. Sure there will be a blow-off and retracement but this rally has been building for a long time .... and it is every bit as powerful as I was expecting.

The psychology of crowds is the driver ... the market sees $16 and $32 as important price points but has no real feel for anything in between at this stage. Once we cleared $16 (the August 2012 rally top) then there is no obvious point to stop going up ... until the previous rally top, $32. I don't think we'll get there but maybe. $20 is round number so probably have a pause there, maybe retrace, who knows.

Not bubbly yet, still plenty of money on the sidelines waiting to get in methinks When every one is in who is waiting to get in for now, the rally will stop.

Maybe they do a T-shirt or bright yellow  badge for the members?

Didn't Woody Allen say "I wouldn't want to be in a club that would have me as a member"?

Ron,

thnx for popping in here to follow up the press ...


Not to speak for any others but I think the bitcoin community would also be interested and curious to know more what the "forex magnates" community think of bitcoin? Like really brutally truthfully think would be interesting.

Cheers.

This is an excellent article, monetary economics for the masses. Something that should be taught in grade school before "finance".

Few typos,

There are already some .debs out there. Look in here https://rapidshare.com/users/opentxs/1998 and here https://launchpad.net/~open-transactions/+archive/testing

Also a small instruction on how to build .debs has been tucked into the docs. There is the 'small' issue with dependencies though ...

This one is out there, but kind of what I was expecting Rotational systems in fluid mechanics have some really weird entropy and thermodynamic behaviour, much of it to do with non-equilibrium effects and there is always the Mach principle to be aware of when describing boundaries for total system entropy .... Anyway, as I suspected this author seems to suggest some really strange artefacts inside Kerr geometry blackholes when using entropic gravity formulation.

".... this force represents the repulsive force acting on superradiant co-rotating modes."

... cue the anti-gravity loons in 5, 4, 3, 2 ...

... and we have a winner.

The guy who is obsessed with mucus and nasal emissions must have pulled out some brains at some point I think.

Measuring your worth in bitcoins should be the new norm for anybody who is serious about this little experiment .... all others are short by definition ... there are no 'neutral' positions, that is a fallacy peddled by fiat-meisters, all assets are in play. All wealth assets are measured with respect to something else, when you can realise that you have begun your journey to wealth and understanding money.

Being "in" dollars is the same thing to being long dollars and being in bitcoin is the same thing as being short dollars, there is no difference (some quibble about leverage but leverage of 1 is still short). If you sell any asset you are a natural short since if you were to ever buy that asset back again you would either gain or lose on the round-trip, so all trades include a long and a short component, it is inescapable.

Thnx for the lesson in trading terminology ...

... short is also used to mean "not long".

If you are holding any other assets and not in bitcoins you are by definition short bitcoins.

Just by holding US dollar cash last year you lost 160% by not being in bitcoin.

Ok, after 10 hours trying to upload on and off, still nothing ... has anybody been able to upload even 1 file?

I have my doubts as to whether it is working at all.

Same here ... seems there is no more upload just Mega.

Yeah interesting he has chosen to use a voucher system for the resellers, like Mt Gox does. I can imagine those Mega vouchers will become a currency in their own right and could be traded for bitcoins on some exchanges somewhere anyway, maybe in the deep web if need be ...

... Kim could have called the vouchers MegaBucks   

I found the secure connection site worked but open connection not ... i.e. use
https://mega.co.nz

EDIT: oooh, looks like an API https://mega.co.nz/#developers and lots of back-end info is being made available also ... maybe not be too hard for 3rd party to bolt on a bitcoin-enabled service anyway ??

You have to have some knowledge of what type of shell it is dropping into ... most POSIX-like shells will only accept variables inside curly brackets, e.g. ${VAR}

I agree, but it is a nice succinct way of conveying the crux of the nature of Laplacian pde type solutions, i.e. complete knowledge on the boundary gives complete knowledge throughout the domain.

Interesting indeed.

Anybody got some links to state of art Entropic Gravity theories? (Particularly interested to know if there are any GR Kerr solutions developments/formulations using Entropic Gravity.)

Actually, I'd argue that the thrust of the ECB here is a lame attempt to bring bitcoin regulation under their jurisdiction where they have none at all.

They have as much jurisdiction over bitcoin as they have over tribes in outer-mongolia trading shiny stones, that is the reality that they hate.

ECB, and any central banks, have their Monopoly monies to experiment wildly with, we have ours .... just quietly, eff off.
