Inigo: Let Me Explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up. Buttercup is marry Humperdinck in little less than half an hour. So all we have to do is get in, break up the wedding, steal the princess, make our escape... after I kill Count Rugen.

-SR seized 30K coins went up for auction and were bought by VC Tim Draper (same guy who wants to 6 way split CA)
-GHash.IO has hit 51% again and said initially they were doing all they could to stop it Roll Eyes

and are now saying they will cut off users at 40%
-Hashfast went belly up. BFL still lives and still hasn't shipped it's Monarch (no surprises there)
-China has banned Bitcoin for some of its citizens for the 118th time.
-Dish, Newegg, Expedia and most recently Dell now allow buying items with Bitcoin middleman like Bitpay.
-Proposed NY law would essentially make pool mining in the US illegal (via ridiculously cumbersome red tape) http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/07/new-york-state-proposes-sweeping-bitcoin-regulations-and-theyre-strict/
-Conversely CA reversed its position on digital currency and states that Bitcoin is legal to use.
-Litecoin has been declared dead for the 8th time and of course recovers while all the other alts take a hit it he pants sans one
-Bitcoin on its way to being documented by Guinness as the world's most powerful network to date.

-MT Gox collapsed and users still not paid back for the coins on that exchange
-China adopted a dubious attitude towards bitcoin, making many people think they would ban in some extension bitcoin, thus driving the prices low.
-Rumors about the identity of Satoshi(again)
-MIT supporting bitcoin(and others good new I forget, do a research)
-Part of silk road coins audicted and sold.

but kinda ridiculous to see this sub section : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0 Grin

That sub-section is incredible: in some moments of the day there are the first 10/11 pages full of awesome threads (LOL) with almost a post done in the current day.
That does mean about (11x40)...

440 threads updated daily!

I don't think much has happened to be honest. Pretty stagnant but always floating on. The big news today seems to be Dell accepting bitcoins.

You didnt really miss out much, besides BFL buying some website called buttcoin to change 2 articles effecting their sales.

One of them is the infamous article on their 500gh/s machine being a piece of shit and they changed it to beautiful sexy machine etc.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/2adssm/buttcoin_foundation_rocked_as_founder_exposed_to/

Trying to improve their reputation.
