2013. I started several accounts back then and thought i'd reactivate this one in order to probe lamb's mind. Say, do old handles really get sold for good coin?

NLC, are you talking to yourself?

Trezor will not work with chrome.
Also, using gmail + chrome is giving far too much info away to your friendly google overlords.

Do you think blockchain analysis can defeat any sort of coin mixing? How about some sort of continuous mixing scheme?

OK, thanks for that. But the case remains that seizure of BTC, even within compliant jurisdictions, even in a world in which "we tortured some folks", is largely unenforceable. No?

I have been paying attention to much of what you've been saying, and yet I am not sure I understand what the purported BTC fungibility crisis is, and why, e.g., the recent FBI auction does not set a strong precedent for fungibility.  Time permitting, could you please explain a bit?

Also, just for fun, in case those interested have not read this nice paper on the history of fungibility: 'Banknotes and Their Vindication in Eighteenth-Century Scotland'.  http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2260952

They have to win the world cup first.

My money is on it.

Looks like this particular prediction will come out right. On rpietila's time zone, it may even be exact.

But how long will the price stay at $650? It looks like it is just passing through on its way to higher ground. How high? I guess we need to know more about just what happened at the auction before saying much. But I take it the almighty floodgates will not open just yet; for that, we need the Lawsky announcement on NYS regulatory framework, followed by the SEC's on the Winklevoss ETF.  

On the heels of those two events, we will quickly be able to assess the accuracy of certain other, longer-term predictions.  

There is a difference between the coins that were left unsecured in seized SR servers, and DPR's coins. The US cannot put the latter on sale unless a) DPR is convicted of a crime and has exhausted his appeals, b) he voluntarily surrenders his private keys.

Yes, they are putting on the block all the drugs that were sitting on the SR servers.

So, on the assumption there is a spectacular breakout in 2014 and >1 yr. hodlers on the SSS plan get to divest a small percentage, which assets would people here recommend to park the fiat in?

guess i didn't.

there were just too many errors on that whole discussion of phil. of math.  which fortunately is now well buried in the thread, like a transaction in the blockchain. 

Nonsense. Without proof, you cannot tell a theorem from a well formed formula.  

News do not immediately affect a long-term trend line. Eventually their effect, if any, gets absorbed into the trend line, which may be periodically recalculated for better fit (i.e. higher correlation coefficient).

Oh well it's a friday night

"I have heard of a touchy owner of a yacht to whom a guest, on first seeing it, remarked, `I thought your yacht was larger than it is'; and the owner replied, `No, my yacht is not larger than it is'."

B. Russell, On Denoting (1905)

sounds intriguing. care to reveal more?

Fair.

Yet which of the following protocols do you think is most useful/revolutionary:

- Gopher
- Name/Finger
- Bitcoin

Archie is not a protocol, it runs on top of Telnet. Telnet is very useful. Should we say Bitcoin is like Telnet for money?
