You make a fair enough point, the market size of bitcoin users is still very small. However, the technology it provides is real, and IMO, a valid solution to this problem. (even if it's not the only solution; it's not uncommon to accept mul

Unfortunately the down-voters of my comment disagree. Until they present their argument against bitcoin, I assume they are only being ignorant.

Have you considered using bitcoin? If you have considered, but dismissed it, would you mind answering why bitcoin wouldn't work for your business?

Bitcoin is an option.

It's posts like these that make me realize how much I miss the exposed upvote/downvote comment counters that hacker news used to display.

I don't think we need to wait for nanobots, the technology is already here now to accomplish real-time monitoring. Here is one example for blood glucose monitoring implant: http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2010-07/wireless-im...

Yes, this! For years I have been complaining about how silly it is that I know far more about the day to day condition of my vehicle than I do about my own body.

Austin is not like the rest of Texas. It's common to hear others here comment the same: "Austin is not Texas". "Keep Austin Weird" is also a common t-shirt and bumper sticker slogan.

I'd rather skip the ads and just pay some money directly for the shows I like and want to encourage to continue. Because I don't want to be tracked, I'd prefer bitcoin.

One guy named Bernard von NotHaus created the "Liberty Dollar" and is now facing a 45 year prison sentence. After a little googling, it's unclear why exactly he is being punished, but this how one article summed it up: "Congress has exclus

I disagree. To me, the jail-break is just a default, one-time requirement to gain control over a device I own. It's actually not too difficult, so I don't consider it fiddling.

Since I don't consider using SSH "fiddling", I don't know what you mean, and I'd guess that most developers don't think twice about how to use SSH. (If they did, they're not much of a developer in my book). It's ironic to me that the most d

Why? SSH is very convenient, easy for anyone to understand (including my 9 year old nephew), and I trust the security. What is better?

FWIW, using only ubuntu, I did both of these things last month to create a Christmas DVD of home movies and cell phone video clips. Without much fuss, I transfered the video files via ssh from my jail-broken iphone, then edited, mastered an

I asked my doctor for a Modafinil prescription. She refused, but gave me a free one-week sample of Nuvigil instead. It was great. I made the sample last for months by taking a half pill only when I felt I needed it.

I've had similar conversations with colleagues. I love the idea and hope to someday try it. One method I like is to use a simple agile/scrum type project where the product backlog is crowdsourced.
