Many of us use the Bitcoin press thread to look for interesting reports on the latest news. It is exciting when there are newsworthy reports. Lately all I see anymore is just discussion and no actual news. I might find this interesting if the discussion was from Satoshi, Gavin or other such notable people, but all I see is opinions that do not belong on that thread. Let's keep the s/n ration clear on the news thread, please.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

CBS news station KOLD in Tucson Arizona is currently showing a video commercial online for an upcoming TV story about Bitcoin that will air at their 10:00 news which starts about 20 minutes from now (10:00 PM Arizona time, 0500 UTC). A video commercial is now visible on their website, as well as a prominent advertising blurb on the station's home page. http://www.kold.com |
Companies claiming they got hacked and lost your coins sounds like fraud so perfect it could be called fashionable. I never believe them. If I ever experience the misfortune of a real intrusion, I declare I have been honest about the way I have managed the keys in Casascius Coins. I maintain no ability to recover or reproduce the keys, not even under limitless duress or total intrusion. Remember that trusting strangers with your coins without any recourse is, as a matter of principle, not a best practice. Don't keep coins online. Use paper or hardware wallets instead.
