Oh, that's a lot better than I expected from the title. I thought it was going to be "No one hired me in a day, Bitcoins are a scam." Congrats on getting a job that pays solid money. I think you're part of the growing group that leads us to a great place. Can you say if the job is bitcoin related?

The project which I was hired for is unrelated to bitcoin. It's actually an open source logic gate simulator. You can download the source here: https://github.com/ncarlson/GateSim

bit harsh on online poker players. are they that bad? The most immediate risk, though, seems to be that Bitcoins will facilitate transactions for criminals, online poker players, tax-evaders, pornographers, drug dealers, and other unsavory types tired of carrying around a Vermeer.

The only thing unsavory about me is my bellybutton smut, which is decidedly sweet.

Judging by tweets the Quora answer mentioned in the other thread ( http://www.quora.com/Bitcoin/Is-the-cryptocurrency-Bitcoin-a-good-idea) was read by much bigger part of the tech savy population then all the other recent articles together. This is too bad because it is a very emotional piece and one that calls bitcoin a scam to enrich early adopters. This is something that can stick for a long time and you'll not crush it by rationally refuting his points.

Yeah I liked this part: « I know a lot of individuals in government will react with normalcy bias to this statement and say but we have to!. It doesnt matter if you have to. You cant. Period. »

That's really interesting, indeed. What he predicts is still unethical and bad for the economy, but definitely much less worse than what we have nowadays. Let's hope that's the path governments choose to take, instead of just stupid brute repression à la war on drugs.
