But the message as is right now looks like random lines they could be disguised as something like scratchs on the surface of a cellphone case from keys, or on the paint on the inside of a toolbox and just look like regular ware and tear. If you wanted to be really clever it could probably be hidden in the grain artificial wood textures.
I like the Team Fortress 2 model. You can buying things that have little to no effect to game play like hats or different looking/sounding weapons and many can be obtained by playing it or other steam games for free. It is equatable to the players and massively profitable for Valve. The Games remain a game of skill and not solely a money extracting machine.
San Francisco the pro green city thats people protest when a company tries to create a mass transit system to cut traffic and emissions that SF? The city that objects to innovators moving there and ruining their culture by virtue of living there? The city who people mobbed the house of googles self driving car team head for no good reason. Yeah not convinced, they sound more like a liberal arts version of the old black and white monster movie peasant mob chasing down scientists and innovators with pitchforks and torches.
It would be interesting to find a way to do so allowing for example rewritting of rules of the simulation to allow for new rules of physics or change universal constants.
"So I need two wallets? One that I keep with a <bitcoin-bank> for small purchases that need to clear quickly and one that I keep for larger purchases. That doesn't sound practical."
Really? You currently do this with traditional banking, you have checking, savings and sometimes even more subaccounts yet you don't look at that as convoluted.
No offence intended but it sounds to me like you just reimplemented the freenet protocol sans proxying with namecoin bolted on. Don't get me wrong the use of namecoin sounds like a good idea for this.
I have also been toying with the idea of a serverless XMPP chat client using gnunet for key exchange + namecoin as a dynamic dns. You could use something similar for dynamic content I would think.
I wouldn't say all alt coins; primecoin litecoin and namecoin look pretty solid but they are all built differently and aren't simply clones with changed rates like all dogecoin coinyewest and company.
because it is two different divisions of the government that don't get along. And while the NSA may have the power to fuck with a Civilian TOR dev, if they were to start hacking Navy Intelligence they would get in a world of trouble.
In my college experience it depends on the teacher that wrote the page. I had several professors that had formerly been developers, their course pages were lightyears ahead of the blackboard pages used by the rest of the faculty.
A karmic based waiting period my be needed then; It could be based on age of address, transactions successful, repeat business with your address, amount of bitcoins spent per purchase, etc. With a higher score you could waive the waiting period for conformations or use less confirmations based on whatever algorithm you have. If some one is going to try cheating they probably won't be doing with and address they conduct regular business with.
you assume that his did not end up in the bit bucket. The problem is if Satoshi ever makes a transaction people will freak over what it mean and think he is cashing out or some bull it will be years before he can use them without it inducing a panic.
