Fair Play! I liked the part when you held the phone up to your mining rigs. Makes it real for people. They don't get computers but they accept that a physical machine whirring away makes people wealthy, indeed it's the only thing that really ever has.

Yeah, Steve got a kick out of the fact that I was calling him from the room adjacent to mine, because the fans make it hard to have a conversation in my room :-P

Let's talk governance, lipstick, and pigs.

NPR was "hacked" by fake news reporters. FUD.

And this week, the price plummeted after a Bitcoin trading exchange was hacked.

DDOS = hacking

Maybe someone routed around the encryption?

haha, ya, I read an entire article talking about how Mtgox was "hacked" and I was like.. wtf mate? That's not what I define as "hacked" however, we need to realize that this is the vernacular that is not definitely determinable, so try try try to be patient with people.
