It's just a lack of Bitcoin news and a stronger USD what causes the dump..

The Bitcoin development has been underfunded and uncoordinated to a point where it risks being unable to deal with major problems if uncovered. Having firm ground somewhere well funded with a lot of bright heads lessens the risk of Bitcoin stumbling on itself. I would love it if other universities or organisations in other countries set up similar centers, but you have to start somewhere.
Thats a great theory. But like communism, I reckon it wont fly.
Ito runs Media Labs, and media labs is NOT MIT. Its a commercial operation, and most projects it involves itself in are rooted in hard commerce and license. I worked on a project with them years ago ( a language extension for Mindstorms, NXC) and while they are brilliant in many respects, they are not the ideal partners for Bitcoin. Looking at the current tone and quality of the arguments against the BF at the moment, how do you think they would react to the suggestion that the centralised ( isnt that against the principle?) management of Bitcoin would be handled by a 100% commercially funded group?
The "power" of BF is there only to the extent that the rest of the community lets them have it. We don't know exactly how this partnership looks like yet. If it's too unpalatable for the rest of the Bitcoin community they should get on with a competing/complementary body elsewhere. In fact, that's a good idea anyway.
See, there is an implied paradox here... People dont like the BF because "power". But bitcoin wont survive without some sort of intelligent benign leadership. But this leadership will have "power", and people wont like that... Rinse, Repeat.
You either have cake, or you eat cake. Until people get that into their heads, bitcoin will have some tough times ahead..

Any ideas why my "Activity" is stuck at 98?
I have the same "problem"
It goes up by 14 every 2 weeks.
Only goes up a max of 14 in that time no matter how many posts you make.
What if you were banned for a week? Do those days count?
You get double points
...deducted, right?

Don't think he's sockpuppet, he's just a bit of an _____ sometimes (He may have switched to short). But I could stop quoting him if you like?
Okay, benefit of the doubt time. In what way do you think Ito will help Bitcoin? I mean in the context of the current problems of the foundation, and the overwhelming view of its critics that we dont need a central authority in the first place.
edit: BTW Im not shorting bitcoin. I dont treat bitcoin as some stupid horse race or lottery that so many like to believe.

Judging by your join date, the forum fairies will grant you your upgrade in the next 24-48 hours. Each activity upgrade adds 2.4 months to your lifespan and decreases the likelihood of being struck by meteorites. It's a great deal.

Better asking that here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=24.0
Your activity should go up 14 points every two weeks or something. Once you're past the opening few days it doesn't matter how many posts you make. You only need to make one every 14 days to go up.

Something tells me the trolls screaming ponzi are the same type of guys in real life that try to push actual pyramid schemes on you.

That would be brilliant
Would that be, like, a centralised standards center? A central point to standardise bitcoin?
Wow. That wuold be such an advance for bitcoin, That would be brilliant
Shit, that reminds me, Greece is broke and has no way to pay back Germany. Can I borrow sum bitcoins?
