I got the three books from epbaha, yesterday! They're in great shape, exactly as he said. He said he'd be shipping them late as he was out of town, I believe. From when he had the chance to send them they actually got here pretty quickly.

Thanks,
Teran

Aw, I missed out! Enjoy the books. Cheesy

Would it be possible to have an archive of closed bets on the site, for "historical" purposes? It might be interesting to look back at the bets of our past.

Not sure how old she is, but it seems like that a problem with many older (45+) politicians and officials is that they do not understand technology and the internet. She apparently said this:

"Stealing is stealing whether you use a computer command or a crowbar, and whether you take documents, data or dollars."

I wonder if she really said this, if she did, then she's not very well educated in regards to the internet and technology.

If you steal someones stash of 10K USD in their house, that's theft, and the owner of those bills just lost a lot of money. If someone stores files on a computer network, and gives public access to these files, and someone downloads them, the provider still has the files, and the files are now copied. So copying is not the same as theft. If someone steals your car, your flat-screen TV or your laptop, that's theft, if someone copies a music album, a book or some other digital stuff, that's copying and not theft. It may qualify as illegall acess of sorts, for instance breaking into a company network to get files you're not supposed to access.

I also see that her spokeswoman stated:

Ortiz's office declined to comment for this story. "We want to respect the privacy of the family and do not feel it is appropriate to comment on the case at this time," said Ortiz spokeswoman Christina Sterling.

Source: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/14/aaron-swartz-carmen-ortiz_n_2472146.html

So what they're basically saying: Ortiz is a coward, she needs to hide behind 'spokespersons'. Why can't she speak for herself, like every normal person does ? Esp. in such an important case as this. I would not consider not speaking about this case to be respectful, I actually interpret it as outright contempt. The only thing she should really do was to resign from her position and say that she's eternally sorry for what she's done.

What the spokesperson really is saying is that they're under a lot of heat right now, and they just want time to do it's thing so that it all will cool off.

Unfortunately this technology illiteracy is present in officials such as Congressman Lamar S. Smith (sponsor of SOPA) and many others. If only we could have educated and knowledgable representatives working for us, rather than these naive, ignorant slimeballs runnings things in DC.

We lost a truly bright and progressive young man Friday.  Cry

At 14 he co-authored the RSS protocol, then later on developed web.py, worked on Creative Commons, Demand Progress, and Reddit.

The charges brought against him were no doubt excessive.

88  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTB] Mt.Gox Yubikey Coupon Code on: January 12, 2013, 02:32:10 AM
I want to warn you that coupon code are not transferrable. At least the ones that MtGox offers for free to their existing customers.

MtGox emailed me a free Yubikey coupon code. I sold it to someone. But MtGox ended up shipping the Yubikey to my address, tied to my MtGox account. MtGox Support confirmed that coupons are tied to the account they are first offered with.

Thanks for your help.

I'm buying. Edited for clarity.

If you're buying, pm me your offer, have a code here!

Will do!

Your stuff is amazing. I deal a bit with silver, so I can really appreciate your work. How much for a wrench bottle opener?

Curious about the wrench bottle opener too. Would you be able to inscribe custom text on it by any chance?

When available, do you think you can get your hands on the Raspberry Pi?

I'd also be interested in LittleBits too.

Coinjedi, I emailed you a little while back requesting a change from my mistakenly written "August 1st" to "April 1st" in the description of my statement. You misinterpreted what I meant and edited the title from "April 1st" to "August 1st". As you can see, the event date is April 1st, 2013.

Can you please make the following changes to the statement?:

Title:

Quote
"The r/Bitcoin subreddit will have at least 15k subscribers by April 1st, 2013"

Description:

Quote
"This statement is true if the r/Bitcoin community on Reddit.com reaches 15,000 subscribers before April 1st, 2013"

OiNK was a private torrent tracker with a ton of black PR all over the internets already should anybody google your hw wallet name.
+1 for piglet

I Googled it and didn't really find much. A search for "Oink" did reveal oink.cd, but nothing about it being a torrent site. I did find this after you mentioned it.

Following a joint operation codenamed Operation Ark Royal, between Interpol, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), and some other organisations, on 23 October 2007 the site was closed.

Just trying to defend my suggestion Wink

Well, perhaps more famously, Oink was an app (now shut down) created by Digg founder Kevin Rose. Cool name, but out of the picture.

we might soon see a bounty setup for organizing everything into a list and a poll ;>, must be hundreds of submissions.

Meh, that could be easily rigged. It might be better if slush chose the name himself.

But I agree that action should be taken soon, we're all getting antsy!  Grin

Lockdown

LockIt

Razr



Heh, that's funny. LockIt and Razr were both names I came up with too.

Although I'm pretty sure Razr is the name of a Motorola smartphone.

Your Right. Should have goggled Razr before.

What about Locket (lock + wallet)?
If the "locket" hardware wallet can be Comfortable worn as a real Locket on a necklace, Than this name is really good, But it would need to be changed to a Productie name,
 Like Lawket

The appeal of locket is that it's a portmanteau. At least to me. Also, I updated my original entries.

As have I. I'm now claiming the name Locket as my original entry.

Edit: The www.lock.et domain name is available.

Alright, my last entries:

Kryptos - from the Greek κρύπτω, meaning conceal.

Witt - named after Whitfield Diffie, a pioneer in public-key cryptography, and the word wit, meaning mental sharpness and inventiveness; keen intelligence.

Locket - Portmanteau of 'lock' (implying security & stability) and 'wallet'. The www.lock.et domain name is available.
