SatoshiDice is being sold, in full, to a new company that will take over all ownership, operations, and management. The total sale price is 126,315 BTC, or 0.00126315 BTC per share.
Just curious, did you receive payment in bitcoins or in some other currency (e.g. USD)? |

Version 12.10 has spyware installed.
...
Any proof to back up that statement? Anyone trying to distribute spyware in a distro would also need to change a shedload of other software that can detect or report it's activity to have a snowball's chance in hell of getting away with it for more than a few days and any changes of that magnitude would soon be detected through digital fingerprints. TL:DR Calling BS on that. Could be referring to this https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/10/privacy-ubuntu-1210-amazon-ads-and-data-leaks |

Don't know any of the people involved but saw this promoted on Twitter. http://3dcamp.barcamp.ie/2013/05/bitcoin-panel-discussion/It's a Bitcoin panel discussion at the 3dCamp (some sort of informal tech conference it seems) at the University of Limerick on Sat May 25th. Won't be going myself but might be of interest to some others here. |

I am a book publisher.
If I would like to offer our first title, a paperback collection of articles about the economic crisis, for sale priced in Bitcoins, how do I do this?
Many thanks,
Mark Griffith
You could sell it on https://www.coindl.com |

This assumption is at least partly wrong based on what Hal Finney says in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=155054.msg1643833#msg1643833When Satoshi announced the first release of the software, I grabbed it right away. I think I was the first person besides Satoshi to run bitcoin. I mined block 70-something, and I was the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction, when Satoshi sent ten coins to me as a test. I assume Satoshi has many coins but I don't begrudge him any of them. He deserves them but I suspect he is not some one whose main motivation was to become rich. Also my understanding is that the first block is un-spendable. I think I've read that Satoshi did this as he was the only person who could mine this block so it would be unfair if he could spend it but subsequent blocks were up for grabs by anyone who was mining (admittedly in practice probably only Satoshi and maybe Hal and some other very early adopters). |

Yeah, pretty decent article.

Stats for electricity usage may need to be updated http://blockchain.info/statsElectricity consumption is estimated based on power consumption of 650 Watts per gigahash http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-04-12/virtual-bitcoin-mining-is-a-real-world-environmental-disaster.htmlBlockchain.info, a site that tracks data on Bitcoin mining, estimates that in just the last 24 hours, miners used about $147,000 of electricity just to run their hardware, assuming an average price of 15 cents per kilowatt hour (a little higher than the U.S. average, lower than some high cost areas like California). Not a miner, so no expert but probably need to consider FPGAs and ASICs now. 650 W/Ghash is probably from GPUs FPGAs maybe 50 W/Ghash ASICs maybe 10 W/Ghash from my rough estimations looking at some numbers I've seen but open to correction. No idea what the relative % of the hashing power each type of mining makes up. |

Saw this tweet https://twitter.com/gavreilly/status/320998171520163840 if anyone is interested. Gavan Reilly (@gavreilly) tweeted at 9:35 PM on Sun, Apr 07, 2013:

News Roundtable with Henry Blodget and Mike Isaac-TWiST #E340 http://youtu.be/urHmOnl0WMw?t=53m14sJason Calacanis, Kirin Kalia, Henry Blodget and Mike Isaac discuss bitcoin as part of the ThisWeekInStartups show. -Overview of recent news. -Jason Calacanis says he has passed on investing in bitcoin startups as he was worried about the possible legal issues. -Henry Blodget (Buisiness Insider) compares it to the dotcom boom, says very exciting to watch, tells anecdote about watching some big hitters playing a game by passing a "couple of $100k" to each other on their smart phones at a conference in March (not sure if true, but if it is wonder who they are?). Thinks it is impossible to value but could possibly go much higher than $140 or could go to zero. -Mike Isaac (AllThingsD) says software engineers/developers love bitcoin but thinks it might be a fad. -Jason Calacanis says what developers love often becomes the default. Sees some signs of more mainstream acceptance. If some big player (e.g. Square, Facebook, Zynga) starts integrating bitcoin sees $1000/BTC. Also for those who may not have seen it before, here is TWiST #140: Bitcoin, with Gavin Andresen and Amir Taaki from 10 May 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwNfBgwbqng |

The point is that Trace can write a blog post about bitcoin. It's a rhetorical device rather than something that he expects Michael Pento to pay attention to, and if it does get the attention of Michael Pento and he reconsiders his views on bitcoin, well that's a bonus.

Trace is not trying to deny Michael Pento his right to speak but just offering him advice along the lines of [quote from article] "it is better to remain quiet and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt".

Would someone be so kind to do a similar thread for parity with the market caps of U.S. stocks? I'm waiting for us to equal the market cap of Facebook  Some bitcoin price parity with stocks listed on the http://www.runtogold.com/bitcoin-price/ infographic:  |

M1 includes pretty much only cash. Money stored in bank accounts is not included.
M1 = bank accounts + cash. are you sure? I thought it included non-bank deposits, but not bank deposits. Humongeous difference. EDIT: This entry, also known as "M1," comprises the total quantity of currency in circulation (notes and coins) plus demand deposits denominated in the national currency held by nonbank financial institutions, state and local governments, nonfinancial public enterprises, and the private sector of the economy, measured at a specific point in time. National currency units have been converted to US dollars at the closing exchange rate for the date of the information. Because of exchange rate movements, changes in money stocks measured in national currency units may vary significantly from those shown in US dollars, and caution is urged when making comparisons over time in US dollars. Narrow money consists of more liquid assets than broad money and the assets generally function as a "medium of exchange" for an economy.
Includes demand deposits in banks, doesn't include money owned by financial institutions. So Joe Soap's (immediately accessible) cash in the bank is counted. ABC Pension Fund's cash is not counted. |

I guess it is the later. Not a big surprise considering that Brits were pushed out of every biz except selling their houses to each other.
I think it must be wrong. Compare to other EU countries of similar population (i.e. Italy, France). M1 for Ireland is more than UK even though population is less than 1/10th the size. $100,900,000,000.00/62 million (rough UK population) leaves just over $1600/person. Seems way too low. P.S. enjoy this thread. sorry to dis-rail it slightly. |

think the CIA figure for UK M1 must be off by a factor of 10 or else UK is even more messed up than I can believe. |
