I've heard good things about Runit + Monit together: https://gist.github.com/mguterl/279082 I'd like to see Runit [1] and S6 [2] get more attention. Docs and easy-to-apply tutorials would be a godsend in this

It's not risky in and of itself. It's risky because scammers are getting _really_ good at scamming people on localbitcoins. I've seen stories of criminals printing up fake receipts from Chase. I've also seen stories of c

Actually, depending on your respective tax authority's treatment of Bitcoin taxes, it's more like: A pays B (A now owes taxes on realized gains) B pays C (B now owes taxes on realized gains) C pays D (C now owes taxes on realized

Ever heard the term, "don't knock it til you try it"? What do you have to lose by trying free operating systems? It costs nothing to run GNU/Linux in VirtualBox on Windows, and learning to interact with your machine from

What do you need Windows for anyway? Especially in a "secure computing" context, modern distros are cheaper, easier and quicker to install than Windows, and yes, often more secure. Plus, learning GNU/Linux will make you a bet

261 days ago, I stated: Facebook's market cap is $63,000,000,000. If the market cap of Bitcoin were just 10% of Facebook, each Bitcoin would be worth about $500. 1% and it's about $50. Can a global financial system conceivably giv

160k btc is worth $64M at $400/coin. It's a drop in the bucket. The Fed prints 40X that amount in USD on a daily basis.

Sales is the process of overcoming objections. If your marketing isn't helping you overcome objections, you need better marketing, because your marketing isn't selling.

I've provisioned and maintained dozens of servers all running Arch, and currently have four home PCs running it. I've found Pacman to be one of the easier and more pleasant package managers to live with. You can sort through tens

When's the last time you made a politically incorrect statement to an American citizen living outside of SF? At first I agreed with you, but on a broader basis your sentiment just doesn't match up with reality.

A solution exactly like what you've just described is in the works. Zyocoin is a P2P Bitcoin exchange utilizing multi-signature issued "debt", where debt can be BTC, USD, EUR, or bananas. Real contracts are created with verifiable blockchai

Really? Have you had extensive, first-hand experience with Rick Simpson oil? Are you prepared to tell me there's zero medicinal benefits to it? Listen, there's just not going to be scientific proof behind a mostly illegal substance with leg

Beautiful tale, saddening turn of events. Please consider watching this video: Surviving ALS with Dr. Bob Melamede. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeeVBSERb-c If I only knew him, I'd make it my mission in life to get Hal some Rick Simpso

I considered your points. You pretend as if the claims of early adopters are to blame for fueling the recent "frenzy". Really? Are you really saying a group of early adopters are entirely to blame for a market appraising a formerly unknown

I'm sorry, but your comment seems blinded a bit by ... I'm not sure what the right word is? angst, self-hatred, jealousy? There's a lot of negativity in general coming from the HN crowd towards BTC, I'm guessing because everyone here was mo

Yeah, some guy recommended I mine back in the earliest of days. "If only I knew then what I know now" ... hahah. So sick to think that my old Core 2 Duo could've made me a millionaire. I was turned off by the ugliness of the bitcointalk for

Bitcoins have at least some value on the Deep Web, the stock market is the ultimate castle in the air investment. That doesn't mean people shouldn't use it, but it's a pretty poor investment. I continue to watch the Wall Street bubble unfol

It's a double edged sword. The unique point of difference benefits of BTC itself remain unchanged regardless of current market price, and furthermore, should early adopters dump all old coins onto the markets all at once, the lower price wo

Firstly, USD, being the world reserve currency, has value because of its current ubiquity in international trade, NOT because of its legal tender status in America. FYI: " Legal tender is currency that cannot legally be refused in payment
