did we ever figure out who is Robert Taylor who gave that interview to Bruce Wagner last week? he never actually said he was an actor did he?

Probably because Facebook and whatever the equivalent of FactSwim is are trademarked, and can't be used without corporate authorization and all that BS. No one owns a trademark on "Bitcoin", and let's hope it stays that way!
Amen to that. I did wonder why they bothered to change the logo on the bitcoins for the spoof sommercial they had though. Likely just to avoid any 'potential' issues in case there ever were to be any? Which at this point, there are not.
TV shows make quite a lucrative target for people to sue over, so they definitely take every precaution they can in protecting themselves from using IP they aren't entitled to use.

in the same vein they use the word of the actual "internet" and not something like "interweb" or "worldnet".

Anyone know which pool got the legendary "stack is innocent" block?
it was signed via Eligius
edit; CoinBase

edit2; If I am reading right the IP to first relay it was Deepbit's.
edit3; It appears to have been 'found' by Deep's IP as well. So Luke signed the transaction but deep found and relayed it? really not sure here.

I missed it. 
Anywhere to watch it online that doesn't involve breaking the law?

If CBS doesn't hate you/your country.
It seems to have had the desired effect.

Apparently, Bitcoin is actually a real thing, invented by someone with the possibly pseudonymous name of Satoshi Nakamoto. I was totally ignorant of this phenomenon until I googled it after the show, and the discovery makes me sympathize with Alicia when she tells Zach, “This stuff makes me feel so dated.” Executive producers Robert and Michelle King must have anticipated this response from their audience, because the episode does, in fact, play rather like “Bitcoin for Dummies.”

"I wonder why the writers didn’t bother to come up with a fake name for “Bitcoin,” the way they’ve done with “FaceBranch”and “FactSwim” in the past."
maybe one of the writers has 1000 bitcoins.....

Can you ridiculous autistics stop complaining about the ip address being wrong? That's the kind of shit that causes SA to create a 600 page thread about you.

What does she say in the end? "I feel so ... dated"? outdated? sedated? I'm no native speaker. Could somebody please tell me
She says dated, as in 'old'.

Awesome! I'm guessing all the pools we're racing to get that one in.

Just checked:
That is cool.
Could someone please identify the block which contains this so those of us who don't have a full copy of the blockchain can verify it online?Quote
