Fall may not be Stephenson's best novel, but it might be his most Stephensonian.

At roughly 900 pages, it is a smorgasbord of acronyms and ideas, action and exposition, characters and subplots.

No, I am absolutely not surprised at clickbait.

Why do you people keep talking about this shit?

Ouch. Right in the amygdala, you bastard.
This time it's different? Ok this time it's not different.
But it is more about the Neal, who is of legitimate interest to some. To others, the Neal's star shone briefly and pallidly.
Have you read any?

It's just weird. We are literally at the forefront of a technological breakthrough that could revolutionize the world, we stand to become filthy rich if things play out as they have been, we are the one percent of the one percent. We know how the tech works. And people keep paying fucking attention to scammers. WHY?!

i can spot a mr robot fan here

I have no idea what that is.

Oh don't be so coy mr robot

The difference between genius and insanity is purely in utility.

If we are playing cliché game then how about fine line in between of genius and insanity.

Why Lobbying Growth Is a Sign That Crypto Is Maturing

Crypto is on the march, and not just in terms of market price. Not only does data indicate that the number of ID-verified users of cryptocurrency doubled over 2018, but there are various other metrics that suggest that adoption is gaining traction. As many as 84% of companies worldwide are involved with blockchain-based technologies in some way, while cryptocurrency ownership is twice as high among young Americans than among the general United States population. And at a time when there's plenty of talk about the need for crypto to standardize and regulate itself before adoption can really take off, it would now seem that lobbying on cryptocurrency-related issues is also increasing.

I dont like posting as much when I am short term bearish/long term uberbullish, and of course its a bit of a bummer we arent discussing 100k party plans here anymore, but a few thoughts.......


In the (what I see as more an more likely each day) event that we revisit the 4800-5500 range, it will be imo the last great opportunity for many years to grab more cheap coins before an epic 20x or higher bull run.

2015 blessed us with two minibubbles and I believe 2019 will just bless us with one larger minibubble.

I call it a blessing bc it gets people buzzing about Bitcoin as it rises and as it falls to a higher low it quickly gives the ones who missed out another shot at cheap coins.

I am hoarding almost all fiat income at the moment and living as frugally as possible to pounce on such an opportunity if it happens this summer. If we don't get this retrace in the next few months I will just buy coins at whatever the price is at the time.

So even though we imo are likely in the midst of a major retrace, we are still...................

ritish computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee published a proposal for a revolutionary idea which would connect other computer scientists as they went about their work. As he realised the potential of this creation, he decided to give it to the world for free – making him perhaps the greatest unsung hero in the history of the world.

Sigh. Lee wasn't that great. By this I mean there were other systems we were using on NeXTs and the like in the late 80's including Gohperspace, WAIS, Archie, and Veronica. What HTTP/Web brought to the picture was embedded images, which really allowed porn to take off.

And the rest was history.

I am not going to lie here. As a non-techy guy, I was pretty ignorant and, definitely not educated about this topic. I came to know about Mr. Lee's name yesterday when I saw his name in the tweet which I copy pasted but after quickly skimming his Bio. He is one gifted individual accompany by another pioneer Mr. McCahill ( Team lead of Gopher protocol ) I am sure there are more names in this list that I am not aware of. So far its all look interesting to me, I am still wrapping my head with technicalities though.

Chances are you already read or aware of this but I don't mind sharing with you.

ps xhomex10 how are your Stephensonian studies coming along? Have you passed the Cert. Wafflology part yet?

If Paul Le Roux is really Satoshi, then Satoshi's wallet is in the hands of the CIA, and they probably already have the password, which could be obtained through torture.

An interesting realization I had is the fact that TrueCrypt FDE is only available through Windows even to this day in it's VeraCrypt form. By looking at the Bitcoin codebase you can tell satoshi was a so called "windows guy", he was compiling .exe only and Linux came way later. Paul used TrueCrypt and not dm-crypt, LUKS or any of the other Linux alternatives. So there is another connection. The list of coincidences I have is pretty good. Nobody is saying Paul is satoshi, it's just another decent contender in my book.

As far as bruteforcing, cascaded ciphers were added in 2004 so the encryption used by Paul probably has a combo of AES-Twofish-Serpent or something along the lines with AES-256 and a strong password which means I don't believe 10 years of bruteforcing is going to be enough (assuming CSW's farm is legit and has been working on it for 10 years which I doubt).
