Trick question. Profits are calculated after salaries are paid.

How would you get one? ASIC owners are paranoid about their earnings. They would notice they are getting less than they usually do the next day after the infection.

"by distances of up to about 65 feet (20 meters)" Good luck getting that close to a server in a data center.

No, a botnet can't ever achieve 51%. One modern ASIC rig is equivalent to a few thousand average CPU+GPU computers that make up a botnet.

Solution: limit the total number of likes per account to something like 50.

But Bitstamp isn't in the US, so they don't give a crap about that law. Just like you don't worry about crazy laws in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait that prohibit drinking alcohol.

US can change their laws all they want, they still can't shut down a bank in Slovenia because it has a British business account. They can try and press the UK, but that, at best, will only result in Bitstamp moving its headquarters to

In engineering terms it would be easier to cover a shitty webcam with a bag, take a photo, and then use the lower bit of each pixel as the source of entropy. You can use other things, like microphone input, or CPU temperature. No need to bu

I've been hearing about the 16-bit support in GIMP for at least 5 years now. I will believe it when it gets released.

by ye 13y ago
The problems with GIMP, the last time I checked, were - no support for 16 bit, problems with color management, slow (photoshop is extremely optimized, and now has GPU support). Plus I hate the default UI - they need to redo it completely.

Photoshop is not mainly a painting application, though it can be used as one. The strength of Photoshop is in its automation, ability to integrate with all kinds of things, ability to open a hundred different formats by default, plugins, 16

There's no mobile phone camera that's even close to GoPro's video quality. I can't put a phone on my helmet and go skiing or windsurfing, it will simply not survive.

The whole market depth is very important. Should they report thousands of numbers now? Just because there's a buy bid at $700 for 1BTC and a sell bid at $703 for 200BTC, doesn't make these two prices equivalent or equally importan

The Central Bank doesn't decide on what's legal and what's not. It can say whatever it wants, in the end it's about what the courts say.

It actually doesn't take much to move BTC price up or down. For instance, buying 16.6K BTC on Bitstamp would move the price to $2000. Selling the same amount would move the price to $360. http://bitcoinity.org/markets&#

You're saying that something will be regulated because similar things have been regulated in the past. That's like saying we will never achieve flight, because all we have is cars, and anything car-like can't fly.
