Thanks for the advice.

If you want a bit more of advice, and for free: please cut the crap with the "Read more" and "Watch it live". If you want me (and lots of people) to click, or if you want to really contribute, include a snippet.

Fair enough. Will do that from now on. Thanks for the free advice. Keep it coming. We are only in business for you guys.

Best,
Amith

In fact it is that fork made me believe that core devs are worth trusting. It is very critical to take a conservative approach when it comes to change management for financial systems, they made the correct choice.

If the fork went to 0.8 chain and all the other miners are forced to switch version, then they will feel that they are kidnapped by the core devs, then the trust for bitcoin will dramatically drop, since the main principle of free will participation is broken, can't imagine what kind of damage that can do

Thanks for the advice. We usually modify the pics we choose, either by over saturating, changing the contrast or adding other things to it. But, to be honest.. you are right, it still is very close.

We just took a look to actually find the right source and saw that it is being used by many other sites in different contexts all over the web. But I would say that this is the original source:

INFINITE CRISIS: FIGHT FOR THE MULTIVERSE #1

I don't think we are in danger of any action against us, we are too small still. Going forward, I have told the guys to modify more. Being taken seriously is important to us, but this article was light-hearted and the pic was chosen so it would be shared on social media more.

I appreciate your feedback, and if you aren't too offended... it would be awesome if you joined our Beta program. We are attempting to do something really cool with trying to solved the viewablity problem that most publishers are facing today. Blockchain tech could be one of the solutions.

As for the IRC logs, again.. just trying to be light hearted. The actual article we sourced was well written and very good, so the reader wins.

I respect the devs (all of them) and love to read those logs and the mailing list. Could be one of the better places to learn.

Made the picture smaller.

Logs aren't funny either... Nothing funny in things gone wrong. Our luck is the fact that many knowledgeable people and devs are always paying attention to how the blockchain is going/behaving.

What's with the oversized image. I bet its a mouse-click away from a DMCA takedown from whatever original source its from.

Want to be taken seriously? Don't lead with something like that.
