Hey Everybody,

This online class is taught by a professor at Stanford University.

Thought it might be of interest to the community, for learning a little more about cryptography basics. Can't beat the price of free...  Cheesy

Check it out>>>

https://www.coursera.org/course/crypto

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Thanks for bumping this - and thanks to Choroid for the OP!

Kasper Gutman: Yes, sir, we were, but this is genuine coin of the realm. With a dollar of this, you can buy ten dollars of talk.

Not really. I'm trying to enjoy my summer without all that constant thinking about complex problems.
