Mt.Gox finds 200,000 bitcoins in old wallet - Mar. 21, 2014 How incompetent of a company do you have to be to lose 200,000 bitcoins in an old wallet?

Sanderson did a Q and A, where he said he was using the interludes to seed characters for later books. Lift I'm sure will factor in later books.

Probably what happened is that the debt got sold and the new agency reported it as new debt. This is a violation of the FCRA. What State were you in when you got the debt? It could be out of the statue of limitations as well. What you need to do is in writing, dispute the debt with the...

I'd link the thread but the 17th shard is down at the moment but in a Q/A Brandon confirmed that Zahel is Vasher and that he's on Roshar because he can get what he needs more easily there. I'm assuming he means that stormlight is pretty much the same as breaths and can sustain him.

I'd recommend the links Zyke posted and also, if it comes up Forums - 17th Shard, the Official Brandon Sanderson Fansite I never caught on to the cosmere stuff until I noticed the name Hoid in a couple books. Then I started reading about the cosmere. Sanderson is nothing if not ambitious in...

As Gask said, he was the begger in Elantris. He was with a group of Terrismen in mistborn and he was Wit in Stormlight archives.

Hoid appears in all of the cosmere novels. Anyway just finished the book. I liked it. I really like the idea that Kaladin and I assume other Radiants can lose their powers if their spren thinks they are going against the ideals. Keeps them from getting too over powered. Shallan was much...

People actually gave that guy bitcoins?

I guess that is the good thing about every transaction with bitcoin being public record, you can always follow the trail. 200k btc is roughly $126 million at today's prices. That's some serious money right there.

A lot of streaming sites are going towards only allowing streaming if you subscribe to a tv package. That's how they are killing cord cutting. Bandwidth caps to go after those that torrent shows and requiring those that stream to subscribe to a tv service.

I'm sure I've said a few of things to people while trying to explain what bitcoin is about.

Its a problem all across the country, where the big players like ATT and Comcast are buying off state and local politicians to stifle competition. ATT basically ghost wrote a law in Kansas that would hamper municipal based broadband and google fiber from expanding in the state. The best thing...

The only place I have any bitcoins stored is at the pool I'm mining with or in my own encrypted wallet. I couldn't imagine using a place like flexcoin.

You're fucked. There isn't a whole lot you can do. Maybe get grass roots campaign going. Could check over at stopthecap.com for some resources.

I'm sure they bundle that all together, instead of paying more for separate feeds of the same channel This is an interesting if old and outdated article about a guy that essentially created his own cable network in his neighborhood. I always thought that it would be cool to give that a try...

That's the point of ASIC's, more computing power for less energy and hardware. Though when the reward drops to 12.5 coins in a few years, most of those ASIC will be turned off and thrown out probably.

At least the good thing about charter is that you can call them up and threaten to cancel and they will lower you're bill for another 12 months.

Mining also is used to verify transactions. I think the idea is as the reward for mining continues to get smaller, transactions would get larger and those verifying the transactions would share in transactions fee

If the price were more stable, bitcoin would certainly work great as a payment system. With the price widely fluctuating the way it has been and the issues with a major exchange, I can see companies being turned off by it. However the reward of having low to zero cost transactions for purchases...

Anyone got 100 million dogecoins lying around? Man selling home for $135,000 in Dogecoins - CNN.com

Gox was the cause of quite a few problems with bitcoin over the past several years. I'm glad it is gone but it does suck for those that lost a lot of coins and money. Its too soon to tell if it will have a major impact on bitcoin overall. It probably will shake out those that were just looking...

Its called open connect

Gox was the cause of several major issues in bitcoin. Its probably a good thing they are gone. Sucks for the people that were holding coins in gox though. I'm sure that this will lower the price of bitcoin substantially though and will probably drive a lot of miners out due to the loss of ROI...

So if that report is right gox lost 744k coins? That's a hell of a lot of money for someone or someones

For those of you that are interested, btcguild has created a new pool called scryptguild that mines scrypt based coins. I guess he has an algorithm that will switch the mining power to whatever coin is the most profitable. Lets you exchanges that scrypt coins for btc right at pool. Good way to...

That's kind of the whole point of bitcoin, there is no central authority making rules or laws. I suppose you could look at it, as being the libertarian dream currency. The free market will weed out bad actors like mtgox. Certainly looks like a lot of people are getting fucked that had their...

because they are owned by the ISP? ATT and Verizon at least

It will only happen where they face competition. Funny how that works!

News on the spinoff Former Vampire Diaries star lands the lead in Supernatural spinoff | Blastr Sounds interesting, I'll wait and see what the pilot looks like though.

Gox price is down to $134. Campbx and btc-e are around $580. I think rinthe might be right, gox is going bye-bye

I'd like to see more of this across the nation. If only cable and telcos weren't buying off state and local politicians to stop it. Utah cities score broadband deal that rivals Kansas City and Google Tech News and Analysis

True but as far as I know you can still deposit money there. Just need to be willing to sit on the coins until they sort out their technical issues

Price is down to $250 on mtgox, if you could actually get coins out of there, you could make a killing selling on another exchange. Btc-e and campbx are still in the $600's

Yet community based broadband with fiber to the home does just that. EPB Fiber Optics | Support Chattanooga, TN 1 gig fiber connection for $69.99 a month. What you really mean is that connecting homes with fiber cuts too much into big cables profit and will affect their share prices.

Then municipalities should be free to build their own fiber to the home networks, where they don't have to worry about profit, except the cable and phone companies are buying off politicians to prevent that from happening so they can continue to gouge their customers with inferior service...

Really? I have two in my suburb, ATT or Charter.

LOL, this could turn it around for bitcoin. $2.7 million gone from silk road Drug site Silk Road wiped out by Bitcoin glitch - Feb. 14, 2014
