The account was locked as a security precaution. He probably won't get it unlocked unless he signs from an address that he controls. I would ask him the reason for leaving the development team so abruptly and not touching his BTC. Afterall, he could have just sold majority of them if he have control to it.

Is Gemini closed over the weekend, or just zero interest?

I've owned a few borderline supercars but would never go overboard into a proper one. They invoke some violent reactions from people. And lower tier cars as an 'investment' rather than the blue chip stuff are a mirage if you own them for long periods. They'll break even maybe but all that maintenance and taxation adds up rapidly.

It's a different matter if you've bought within the last few years maybe but they're only worth what others'll pay. Not the most liquid thing you can ever own. I think a shit ton of people will be burned with the more modest stuff. Old style BMW M3 Evo Sport's go for up to $150,000. I nearly bought one at $10,000 but it was a dog. That doesn't smell sustainable to me.

They won't reveal your information but someone in your family might see the bill and ask "Why there's a bill from a porn site" Which is no fun at all  
And sorry to say this but nowadays kids are smarter than you thought,they can always bypass the age verification

Well, now that the CTFC is involved, I imagine exchanges are not going to want to attract undue attention, but it is a double edged sword regarding their "popularity" and continued existence.

Pressure needs to be placed on the exchanges, even though exchanges are responsible for most of this, I can imagine non exchange bots are also involved.
And I have a feeling that pressure is on the way...

Its About Sharing

If it stayed alive long enough and the dollar still existed then it's borderline inevitable that there'll be a million dollar coin one day. At today's buying power? It would've had to have conquered the world.

Not today. Scooby should have a better idea as to when soon and will make an announcement.

No any critical flaws found in Nxt-like proof-of-stake. On other hand, no any strict formalization made yet as well.

So there are two things to be done:

1. Formalized model showing Nakamoto's property could be met in proof-of-stake with contribution to multiple forks allowed(in other cases there are other problems with formalization). Simulations show the property is seems to be met, thanks to cumulative difficulty working more or less ok as fork selector function(btw, PoS coins with longest chain rule have problems here, at least).
I'm now talking with guys much more skilled in CS/math about possibility of the truly formal framework.

2. Practical contributions to Nxt / other projects around. Nxt's algo seems to be pretty safe, though block delays distribution is needed to be better(closer to average value). It will reduce or mb even eliminate incentive to contribute to multiple forks(by trying to do private branch attacks, then share private forks, then we have majority of forgers having multiple-branch forging with N@S possible as result in such environment). I hope some improvements will be made in 1.7/1.8.

And yeah, "test coin"(don't like "coin" word here, I would like to call it "experimental blockchain engine for hackers"). Making some changes now, so it will be possible to switch Qora's PoS to Nxt's by changing 1 line of code(and introduce other consensus models easily). Then yeah, multiple branching will be introduced in Scorex. Some non-consensus things will be tested as well, e.g. Bill White's scalability proposal etc.

Energy can't be free. What can be is abundant, and we are going to get there eventually. When they try to tax stuff like the sun, they know they are lossing the battle and asking for a revolution. Fuck paying for the god damn sun! the sun is for everyone, everyone should be free to install solar panels and get "free" energy in the economical sense.

As for BTC, its only good news, since it means everyone being able to benefit from abundant energy without costs beyond the initial installation of the machine will be able to be a miner = stronger network.

Founder has quit and wandered off blaming all of YOU for a "toxic environment"

LOL

Is there any way to approximate how many shadow bids/asks are hiding in the orderbooks?  Or at least find out after the fact?  Just watching what effects the bitfinex price makes me skeptical that the visible walls are at all representative.

Blaming Vod for something im not sure but it have to do with the "new rank" thread.
