I'm convinced there wasn't any hacking and SR2 was just a huge scam from the start. There is little, if any, evidence that their systems were externally compromised. Cryptsy just swapped Doge wallets due to the insane number of transactions. It was taking hours and hours to get transactions...

I've been following Kevlar (the dev) as he's been writing this. If people are interested in seeing how things came together, check out [Kickstart] Link - The File Sharing Blockchain Protocol on the Feathercoin forums, as well as [ANN] Link - The Blockchain File Sharing Protocol for the original...

Ripple is commonly referred to as a scam by lots of people in cryptocurrency communities. I tend to agree with them.

If you're looking into buying a mining contract, use a calculator like CoinWarz. Then you can see an estimation of what you'll make and whether or not it's worth the cost.

That is referring to the number of blocks in the blockchain that have happened after that transaction. The more confirmations, the more confidence one can have in a transaction. See a simpler (and potentially clearer) definition at Bitcoin.org.

Both MinCoin and WorldCoin have been around since April when the storm of alts came about. They're not exactly new compared to a lot of other alt chains, and the WorldCoin guys seem to be trying to make a difference rather than just make a quick buck.

If you don't know how to create an app, I wouldn't put much stock in you being able to implement it. Your best bet would be to get a mobile developer and work through the feasibility of the app. The major risk at that point is the developer taking your idea and implementing it without you.

I believe he is far more radical than he lets on. Rand appears to be trying a different path in hopes that it will work. Is it possible that he's been corrupted in his pursuit? Yes, but I will wait and see. I believe he's the best chance we have at the moment. Until he shows otherwise, I will...

I'd like to start playing with the crypto markets, but am woefully underprepared. Do any of the traders here (presence, newbitech, etc.) know of good primers for trading basics, i.e., patterns in trading? I'd love to get a better technical understanding of these things and begin to do some day...

It's 'shopped.

They've got a thread on Bitcoin Talk. They're apparently backlogged with orders right now, but have lots of good feedback there. Link if you want it.

So a guy in the coppers' custody is an immediate threat to the general public. That makes perfect sense.

Far, far from it. He often goes on Twitter rants about statist policies not advancing.

You can always send BTC to another wallet in exchange for good or currency, but exchanges like Mt Gox make it easy to convert between BTC and other currencies.

I've got psoriasis on my face and neck. (I used to think it was eczema, but I'm pretty sure it's psoriasis.) I used to use a topical steroid (Diprolene), which worked really well at treating it when I was consistent in application, but I don't currently have health insurance and don't have money...
