hey Smoothie,

you need to check this out for all of us when you get a chance:

A lot of people diss Hawaii but I always stop there for a couple of days on my way from the us to asia or australia. It's the perfect place to break up the flight and probably the nicest all year climate in the world. I've been waiting for their real estate market to crash and it certainly took a hit in 2009, but with a little fed intervention it hung in there (like most things that should have crashed). Maybe next year.

Mysterious Fake Cellphone Towers Are Intercepting Calls All Over The US.

"Seventeen fake cellphone towers were discovered across the U.S. last week, according to a report in Popular Science."

http://www.businessinsider.com/mysterious-fake-cellphone-towers-intercept-calls-2014-9#ixzz3CV5AqAz2

I am really interested in one of these phones.  This or Silent Circle. Anyone with any experience? 

Me too. First though, I would need to understand how they protect keyboard input, which always seems to be one of the weakest links. Especialy if the base is stock (then modded) android. If they wrote their own opsys then that would make me feel more comfortable as long as I knew something about the company background. Come to that, I've never had much faith in wallets that are added onto chrome but perhaps I'm missing something. I'm no longer very technical so I have to rely on others' opinions.

absolutely.  we need more info about how these devices work technically and are they open source.  i'm curious about the firmware vulnerabilities.  sounds like a centralized solution if all messages are routed thru their servers which i think is how Silent Circle works.  but i'd take that risk for now until a decentralized solution is found.

"Apple's iPhones are expected to provide a mobile-payment system that will blow competitors such as PayPal out of the water, thanks to its fingerprint sensor with near field communication technology and deals with major credit card providers."

Saw CNN Money reporter Jose Pagliery give a talk about his book on bitcoin. Good talk.

Back cover of the book has a recommendation from Jim Rickards. I asked whether he thought Rickards was coming around to bitcoin and he said 'Yeah, he gets it.....Give him time, I'd like to speak with him in another year and see'

edit: sp, grammar



Nice. I was there too. Good to hear Rickards is perhaps more moderate than he lets on in public. He and Schiff do indeed have a challenge on their hands about how to save face when they eventually do have to come around publicly...

any links to presentation?

unfortunately, no. I don't think it was being filmed.

What happened to the shorts vs usd swaps chart?

looks like an opportunity to me:



This post was worth more to anyone that heeded it than anything else that happened this week.
I think we all owe our OP OG host some serious props for sharing the wealth of information.

Thank you Dr. Cypherdoc, this was a prescription that just had to be filled for a healthy balance sheet.  Thanks for looking out for us.
Did I mention, thank you?
Oh yeah, thanks.

Yep...That was appreciated, as were the explanations proffered by other kind thread contributors, molecular, NewLiberty, and melbustus.
