@truekeymusic blockchain.info is a superior 3rd party web wallet in that it does give you direct access to your private keys.
@cryptotraveler Now I just need to figure out how to make discussing crypto easy so that people don’t dismiss its multifaceted nature.
jcoglan Programmers are expensive because anyone who’s done enough computer to be a professional programmer doesn’t want to go near a computer
@cryptotraveler Works for me. I figure after the recent sideways movement and recent capitulation, it’s about time for another bubble up.
@cryptotraveler Very true. Dogecoin FTW, amirite?
@cryptotraveler Zerocoin, it sounds like, is going to act as a Bitcoin mixer / obfuscator. Talk by @matthew_d_green: https://t.co/ub03BSaBrN
@cryptotraveler @oleganza Just another reason why I recently moved all of my IRA funds into Bitcoin. Self directed IRA FTW!
@cryptotraveler It may be an educational issue. Many folks tell me that they want BTC but can’t afford it, not knowing you can buy $20 worth
@cryptotraveler The effect that the cognitive bias known as the unit bias has upon exchange rates is of great interest to me.
@hblodget @prchovanec Surprise, surprise, you’re incorrectly considering Mt Gox to be the entire Bitcoin market.
Any way to determine min # of full nodes Bitcoin needs so that the mesh can handle load? @gavinandresen @jgarzik @petertoddbtc @jonmatonis

@kyledrake People are free to use Gox, but they should realize that the community no longer considers it a part of the Bitcoin markets.
I want @oakley to take the heads up display from their Airwave goggles and adapt it for motorcycle helmets.
pmarca Corollary: Judging new idea/tech by judging fringe politics that come attached to it will often lead to incorrect conclusions about future.
pmarca Mainstreaming naturally alienates and embitters the original fringe political advocates, causing them to move on to other new ideas/tech.
pmarca In time, the new idea/technology mainstreams, leaving fringe politics behind. Mainstream politics adapts to accommodate new idea/tech.
pmarca Since new ideas/technologies come from the fringe, they often also come with fringe politics attached.
pmarca Philosophy: New ideas (including new technologies) come from the fringe. Naturally—by definition, not going to come from establishment.
