Hey Cypher,

Good to see you're still going strong.  I think it's been over a year since I logged on but ran into a news story about bitcoin-central and thought I'd take a stroll around the forum.  I see you've got your own newsletter too.  I've got a few BTC's laying around, maybe I'll sign up for January.  Assuming the world doesn't end today of course  Grin 

Welcome Back!  i miss your excellent posting.

I have a Mac. It has been a very nice computer, I have been using it for several years. The problem I am now running into is that some programs are only available for the most recent version of the Mac. (like bitcoin-qt). So I am no longer able to upgrade the programs which I have, and a couple programs I wanted to add to my computer I was unable to add. Overall, my computer still works, but when I do get around to upgrading to a new computer, my next computer will probably be running linux.

Almost any laptop these days run linux so you can buy one and drop windows.  Search "Ubuntu <#>".  Like this: Ubuntu dell inspiron 5720.  And you'll get this: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201202-10403/  You may even manage to get a refund, but the volumes & the $ mfgs receive for preloading adware and crapware tend to cancel out any extra cost.

I run Ubuntu/Fedora/Mint/Redhat native on my daily dev 6 core AMD desktop and am stuck running Win on my quad core, 8 thread laptop because I need to use Webex.  But this machine can run 4 simultaneous Linux virtual machine instances (to execute simulations of the sort of tightly coupled distributed systems used in telecom networks).  [BTW, a virtual machine is a complete OS running inside a window (or full screen) of another OS].  You might consider using virtual machines instead of a different laptop just because its really nice to be able to pop from OS to OS.  Run isolated linux virtual machines for your wallet and/or trading software and don't install anything else on them.  And its a way to dip your toe into the linux world without having to lug around two laptops.  See www.virtualbox.org for the software needed.

PM me if you need some purchasing advice.


Funny thing just happened: I went to the linked webpage, downloaded the software, tried to run it and got the error message: Usuported OS, this software requires mac 10.6 or later. I guess this is just another item on the lengthening list of software that is not available for my OS anymore. Grumble grumble.

Bitcoin:  +152%

GPL:  -22%

Difference:  +155.1% advantage Bitcoin;  and GROWING

btw, i covered my GG and SLW short too soon (even after a 20% gain!).  BUT; still own DZZ, ZSL, and the short on AG which are ramping.

Gold collapsing; Bitcoin about to launch.

While neither gold nor Bitcoin has been a bastion of stability over the last year or two, Bitcoin seems to be significantly more volatile.  This is, of course, completely unsurprising (to me at least.)  Gold's performance has neither helped no hurt me recently.  I would neither have bought nor sold gold no matter what it's performance.  Same with Bitcoin.

I've thought (incorrectly) that gold was 'about to launch' for going on a year now.  In spite of it's failure to do so, I suspect very little chance of a significant crash.  As for Bitcoin, I've always anticipated more chance that it will 'collapse' than that it will 'take off'.  The fact that it has done neither (to my specifications) is actually a pretty promising development.
