Re: The NSA created "CIA Project" Bitcoin - Gavin Bell (aka..Gavin Andresen in 2008)
@ Billbags
So you are suggesting that sentence above from Nick Szabo should read like this?
"Only Finney(RPOW) and McCoy(MojoNation) were motivated enough to actually implement such a scheme.

You forgot #8 on your list......
8. Nick Szabo likes his privacy........ although he IS the guy in the far right hand side of this picture linked below:

I thought he already received one in 1994?

Re: What really happened to Phinnaeus Gage on June 17, 2014 @ 05:34:23 PM....

I think this may go deeper than anyone could imagine. I know it appears he is still around using alt accounts but resent research has indicated the posts being made look computer generated from a database of Phinnaeus Gage's previous post from here and other internet sources. The alt account post seem real, but here's how it works to trick us:
"Suppose that I'm locked in a room and ... that I know no Chinese, either written or spoken". And that i have a set of rules in English that "enable me to correlate one set of formal symbols with another set of formal symbols", that is, the Chinese characters. These rules allow me to respond, in written Chinese, to questions, also written in Chinese, in such a way that the posers of the questions who do understand Chinese are convinced that I can actually understand the Chinese conversation too, even though I cannot.
Now that's out of the way, where could he have disappeared to, or who could have abducted him?
NSA? AMT? BFL? Aliens? Satoshi?...We need to find out what really happened on that day to everyone's favorite legendary Member.
No FUD please, this is a serious situation.

You could drive to Illinois and say hi. IIRC, he posted an image of his driver license. At any rate, he's just gone a little bonkers...my guess is that he will be back to normal in a year or so.
The posting of the Drivers license could have been done by the third party thats running the AI program that's posting as Gleb Gamow....notice PG is not physically in the picture holding a current dated newspaper with a shoe on his head. PG after all knows the rules of the "Bitcointalk Identity Photo Protocol"...... but it looks like the perpetrators did not....
Re: How do you call a bunch of people that are fascinated by cryptocurrencies?
altcoin enthusiasts
^ 100% agreement.
Elvis Impersonators....because Bitcoin is The Bitcoin Revolution.....and altcoins are the crypto movement....two different things.....

Re: [9000 TH] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + VarDiff
ooc has a good blog post on slush's pool from quite awhile ago that is good reading.
http://howtohop.blogspot.ca/2012/03/how-to-hop-part-1-slushs-pool.html
http://howtohop.blogspot.ca/2012/03/how-to-hop-part-1-slushs-pool.html
This post from 2012 is quite obsolete, lot of things changed in the meantime. The main difference between current scoring system and ooc's analysis is that the score is continuous, and there's nothing like edge of the round when score is restarted back from zero. That was the major downside of old scoring method, because it made pool hoppable.
I recommend to read very detailed description of current scoring method here: https://beta.mining.bitcoin.cz/user-manual/rewards
Wow....it's like the hand of God reached down from the Heavens....and gave a big *whack* across the face
Priceless....
Slush is back!!!The Creation of Bitcoin......Satoshi said he started working on it in 2007
Nick Szabo: (assuming Nakamoto is not really Finney or Dai) ..Only Finney (RPOW) and Nakamoto were motivated enough to actually implement such a scheme.
There seems to be one other person with the motivation that Szabo says would be needed to create Bitcoin:
2007
Zooko quote: I want to invent something else: a truly decentralized economic mechanism. Research that points in this direction includes the sub-field of algorithmic mechanism design within economic game theory, some peer-to-peer research such as GNUnet, Wei Dais and Nick Szabos ideas about bit gold, Nick Szabos smart contracts, and much more. Another inspiration is BitTorrents tit-for-tat mechanism, which is decentralized and minimal, but gets the job done within its limited problem domain.
https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2007-June/000022.html
2007 Szabo applies BitGold(w/RPOW) and his Scarce Object theory to Zookos p2p hard drive node project with "Nanobarter" (THIS COMBINATION CREATES BITCOIN)
Szabo: One possible answer to central mint vulnerability is bit gold a currency the value of which does not depend on any particular trusted third party. Another alternative is (an object barter economyScarce Objects).
