Looks like CanWest pulled it from their papers;

Looks like it isn't a complete hit piece, and acknowledges the potential of a decentralized currency by the end.  I look forward to seeing if this helps bitcoin and cavirtex in the coming months.  

Please remove my ask, #182

That would unfortunately inflate my already large ego!  Thank you for saying that though!

As a long time lurker, and newbie poster, I'd figure I'd bite - since I'm starting a teaching career.  I'm just finishing up my education degree, and am currently out in practicum. 

A few reflections so far:

Perhaps it is the way I grew up (in the country, where the kids are from a homogenous, self-sufficient demographic), I find students in the large city high school I teach at are incredibly dependent on direction from the teacher, in terms of task.  They are trained to obey the school "script."  Teacher gives direction, they follow it.  Teacher asks a question, they answer perfunctorily, and without much curiosity.  One of the best discussions I had this practicum had to do with the nature of anarchy - that it isn't simply chaos and disorder, but could rather be a society where all transactions are voluntary. 

The schools, even in relatively advanced and oil-rich Alberta, are very behind technologically - I'd say between 10-15 years.  It means restrictions on any kind of task that could conceivably require a computer.  Despite having a provincial curriculum with "IT" outcomes, there is very little being done.  Likely a funding issue.  The students are very far ahead of the average teacher - unless they are from the new generation of teachers who are still within the digital native generation (it blows their mind that I know about 4chan, hashtags, twitter, and league of legends). 

The staff are cynical, older, tired and holding on to collect pensions.  There is no movement to recognize the societal shifts happening underneath their feet.  I told my partner-teacher about Cyprus, it shocked her, but these people don't think about the outside world, or the connected world, or about any kind of breakdown in a financial system. 

I just hope I get to be that odd soapbox crazy teacher that a bunch of students just might like and pay heed to.

Please modify #182 from 79 shares @ 0.95 BTC to 79 @0.90.   Thank you.

ask 79 @ 0.95

Will provide blockchain.info transaction info if proof is required (for what it's worth  ).

With competitive kW!!!

Hello all,

Late to the party as well.  Been a lurker since I randomly heard about ASICMINER's IPO through a random twitter feed (@bitcoinminer??).

Got set up here in cold Canada with 3x 5830s and BFL Single, cranking out 1550 m/hash. 

Excited about bASIC and ASICMINER. 

And I'm on my way to double digits as well!

Hello all,

It is a pleasant surprise to see Theymos here, as I've been a long time lurker, since ASICMINER's IPO went live in August.  I somehow got into the bitcoin thing then.  Always refreshing to see a familiar name running the newb end of the site. 

Hope to get the post count up!
