    There should be a bitcoin address for donations. There's no reason to trust me, but if you send me bitcoins, I'll convert to dollars and send to the fund. You preserve your anonymi…

    with coinbase, I transferred maybe $600 to Bitcoin. With Dwolla, I transferred maybe $60,000. That should be an indication of the potential. The reason is that with Dwolla / Mt Gox…

    Correct me if I am wrong, but the prevailing thought when that article was written (1992) was that digital currency would resemble more of a transferred digital coin, with signatur…

    Right now they subdivide to 8 decimal places. .00000001 With minimal change to the protocol they could subdivide to much smaller units. I think "bitcoin" is a confusing name, becau…

    Looks cool, but I couldn't make it work. I went to http://patriciopalladino.com/files/hieroglyphy/ and put in a script "alert(1);". This provided me with a script of about 8300 cha…

    Oh, and on your point #3... Right now, I intentionally do not allow you to initiate a text conversation to a phone number. There are a few issues and challenges with that (particul…

    Thanks. I wrote the Terms and Conditions at 4AM when wired on coffee. It's hard to keep them brief and yet explain a little bit of the "why". Yeah, I'm not sure about http://txt.gs…

    This was one of those "it's a 3-day weekend... I wonder if I can build something and learn something." I decided to cobble something together that permits anonymous texting. It's c…

    Funny that Bagcheck is listed as a "good" example. I was just commenting to someone as to how confusing that site is. There's a box next to the "JOIN" / "SIGN IN" words in the uppe…

    With all this power and smarts built into this alarm clock, couldn't they just put in an automatic adjustment for Daylight Savings Time? I would love to have one less clock that I …
