at least until they decide to take it away. I'm still not convinced anyone should spend any of their resources toward the platform when there's no guarantee they'll uphold this deal in the future.

perhaps reframing your question / perspective might shed some light... It's ok buddy, whatever you say...

Sounds like you are having difficulty discerning between criticism and hate. Criticism is a genuine conversation bringing up new, relevant points. Hate comments regurgitate the same crap over and over. No one learns from it, it's ju

I guess we should consider your decisions as the "optimal and correct decisions"? Are you a billionaire too?

I finally feel at peace with this issue, in a much more significant way than ever before. When I talk to those folks anymore I think they'll just remind me of my 3 year old nephew. I'll smile at them (or their post) say 'ok

After reflecting on this a bit, I think the biggest problem is that the point of the whole talk wasn't brought up until the end. Who knew this was actually about Campaign Finance Reform before they stopped watching?

I was speaking with a friend the other day about the hypothesis of a bubble. He was interested in my take on the matter. I said "Think about the big picture. I'm not talking about macro economics or anything like that. Think a

I think our world views may differ. For example I believe that corruption / illegal activities don't stop because you're using a traceable monetary system. And we probably also will disagree that non-traceable monetary syste

Even if the cost to mine the coin ended up being slightly more than $1USD, over time as the coin is transferred multiple times to multiple people, the value increases due to the fact that there are no transaction fees.

What about real currency isn't anonymous? If (god forbid) someone took $100 in cash to a pedophile and bought pornography, how is this traceable in the existing system?

I think the trick would be to try to ensure the "mining" of the coin ended up such that the cost to mine the coin cost approximately $1USD. So in the end someone who has this particular coin spent approx $1 in electric / oth

I'm even thinking (outside the box here) that one could say "This is worth 1 USD, and is to be used only for purposes of transferring value between accounts". Rules-based system where everyone participating in that particula

ART+COM should look at the comparison photos in this article. Google Earth blows ART+COM out of the water. And that's besides the fact that they're both trying to represent real things, so of course they'll look similar if

people in Boston, or any major metropolitan city are (to be politically correct) mentally handicapped thinking that $1700 per month for 450 sq ft of space is ok. I have my own consulting business out in the midwest. All my clients are remo

I would say it's probably close to impossible to directly correlate a developer's input to an amount of money his effort is worth in the form of a commission. Also software planning, architecting, developing is such a nuanced proc

My 2 cents, from what I've been able to gather, the best resources in other countries are being paid comparably to US, or they've already migrated or set up a work visa with a US company. Talented developers know they're tal

The rule should be for NPE only. In otherwords, as soon as you can prove that the idea is making you money (even if it's a small amount) the ceiling comes off. This doesn't mean "NPE" no longer exists. For example, a

7 months in "web years" is pretty old, but as you know PHP has been around a long time, so there's still alot of relevant information for those who depend on the site.

I like the idea that NPE can only make a certain percentage of revenue on "trolling". What if, for example, only 25% of a company's revenue can be made off these "trolling" escapades? I think it would clean things
