@ptraughber @pmarca What percentage would have voted if they could have done so with their smart phone?
@TriangleBitcoin Members should come to the meet-up this Saturday so that we can provide input for @Cryptolina!
It appears that the FBI has doxxed the author of CryptoLocker and Gameover Zeus. http://t.co/OFTCPbqNq4
@mark_a_howard @HoboJerky Trying to argue about energy efficiency w/o a frame of reference seems… a waste of our energy. ;-)
@mark_a_howard @HoboJerky TBQH I’m not interested in energy discussions until someone determines energy usage of current banking system.
@myhonor16 Now we just need to reverse engineer the electromagnetism at play so that we can create a ray-gun that makes people buy BTC. ;-)
@jbeardsley Except we at least know that M$ has engineering resources and talent that they COULD use to solve problems :-)
6/ I expect we will continue to see “IPOs” that attract investors with too many bitcoins & not enough sense. A fool and his money…
5/ Sinking your money into an “IPO” simply because it sounds like a good idea is foolhardy. Ideas are cheap - execution is not.
4/ One must evaluate the technology (software) and the development team (ability to meet goals) of new cryptocurrency offerings.
3/ The average cryptocurrency enthusiast is not qualified to evaluate the risk of such investments. Due diligence is a must.
2/ In many cases, the public is being asked to “invest” in a product that is untested and is likely incomplete.
1/ Investing in appcoins / alt-coins is not like investing in the stock market, it’s more akin to angel investing.
@jgarzik Hope you’ll consider coming home to speak at @Cryptolina
@matthew_d_green @socrates1024 @engadget I’m quite eager to see Zerocash’s approach to mining ;-)
@matthew_d_green @socrates1024 @engadget Indeed; apparently securing a system as revolutionary as Bitcoin isn’t good enough for some people.
@socrates1024 @matthew_d_green @engadget Anyone who describes Bitcoin mining as “useless math” obviously does not understand Proof of Work.
pmarca 1/Technology innovation disproportionately helps the poor more than it helps the rich, as the poor spend more of their income on products.
@PerianneDC I think you mean “ETF” rather than “EFT” on page 2
