Din't have to worry about ASICS did he, Lucky lad
Damn man, this wasn't supposed to go out of hand. Look where; we are at.
We definitely took him more seriously than he did
The second last post:
Maybe thats where the end is.
I'm still hopeful, like alcohol they just tax it, rather than Ban it. Fiat to USD regulation is easy; think i read Gox stopped Gox codes coz of that.
Bloody weed on SR, who cares. Well in the end laundering and funding in grey and black areas might attract a critical mass of attention>> Hornets Nest> Stung on the Ass.
Just for the lulz.

We should have a gentleman's agreement to postpone the GPU arms race as long as we can for the good of the network. It's much easer to get new users up to speed if they don't have to worry about GPU drivers and compatibility. It's nice how anyone with just a CPU can compete fairly equally right now.

Also you could pre-seed the blocks so they won't have to be downloaded upon initial run. (Downloading 28,000 blocks on a slower ADSL takes forever I couldn't imagine how long it would take when there are millions of blocks -- a lifetime).
Answer:
There were some issues in 0.1.5 where the initial block download could get bogged down. 0.2 has code to make sure it goes smoothly. It ought to take less than an hour, I think. I need to hurry up and get 0.2 out the door.
The blocks increase linearly, it'll be decades before it's millions. In theory, the block download time should top out 8 months from now when Moore's Law will be growing faster than the block chain.

It would have been nice to get this attention in any other context. WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us.
My inference: Swarm=US Govt. He definitely thought Govt regulation was coming. Maybe thats where the end is.
