The price is so flat that the trading fees would probably be more than any profit you make. There's not much money to be made in a flat market.

Craig claims Base58 was used by FlickR in 2007 in this tweet after being asked if he invented it.

He states that again here.

However this blog post from 2009 contradicts that by saying flickr recently introduced its short URL service which makes use of base58.

If flickr was using base58 on its servers in 2007 it should show up in short links in the source code of pages archived back then, but it doesn't.

The image on this page was archived in 2007, then again in 2009.

A shortened link to it containing base58 doesn't show in the December 2007 snapshot of it, but does in the 2009 snapshot. Search the source code of these two snapshots for flic.kr/p/ yourself. It only appears in the 2009 snapshot.

I wonder if flickr would confirm it copied base58 from bitcoin and didn't invent the format itself.

It's working OK for me now too, although earlier Ion  was having the same cloudflare errors and slow page loads that others were having.

Unfortunately $100 million means nothing to bankers. They deal in such big sums of money that some of them have started saying a dollar when they mean a million dollars. They would say they spent a hundred dollars on R3, not $100 million.

The early dumpers will selling their cons for next to nothing will probably keep the price low for the next few days. After that they will regret selling as the price rises up to realistic levels.

Hueristic says you have to pay to join. Do they give you a higher score if you pay extra to the examiner in cash?

That good feeling you get every time you have a drink comes from brain cells dying. Most of us have probably killed a lot of brain cells since we were 17-18.

Did you get the maximum score, or higher than that?

What was Einstein's IQ, and what was yours at 17-18?

The US and UK banks banned buying bitcoin with credit cards. Are they letting circle circumnavigate their ban?

Maybe pfrtlpfmpf has the type of job you can lose for the slightest blemish on your record. It's not just top level jobs that can be like that, a mail man can lose his job for a blemished record.

If you make a fortune out of crypto you can try it on a long vacation to a country where it's legalized, like the country of California.

Not on old fashioned pot. However I heard about people dying from some types of spice, but it's a hundred times stronger than regular pot.

If you do make it don't go over the top on the blow. A ripple billionaire just died from his addiction to an opioid painkiller called OxyContin. Normal people have a cure for their addictions called running out of money, but it doesn't work for billionaires.

I can't find any information about a timeline. The last time I checked the domain name hadn't even been transferred to circle's ownership.

I wouldn't mind a shot of The Macallan In Lalique 65 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky. It's only $58195 a bottle.

If bob want's to be cheap I'll settle for a cup of Kopi luwak coffee. It was the world’s most expensive coffee, and only costs $35 to $100 a cup.

It's made from luwak shit. They select and eat the best coffee cherries, then shit out the undigested beans, which are collected, cleaned, and roasted.

This is a fresh luwak shit.



There's some cheap stuff produced by caged luwaks. However I wouldn't consider drinking that because keeping them in cages is cruel. I only drink the free range stuff.

Sadly it lost its coveted position of the world’s most expensive coffee. There's other rarer stuff shit out by different, more exotic animals that's now selling for more.

According to tk808 the Arabic translation has already been done. Maybe you could help patrol the Arabic thread instead.

The new KYC rules might have been a prelude to starting fiat markets instead of using USDT. Any US exchange accepting fiat must use KYC rules.

The bitfinex owners don't need to sell it to pass the buck, they can just say it got hacked again and pass its debts onto its customers again.

IMO people here haven't lost faith in airdrop coins, they lost faith in airdrops of bog standard coin clones. To the best of my knowledge NEM hasn't been forked yet. The hundreds of POS coin clones fail to draw attention any longer. Nobody's interested in another POS coin clone, but they are interested in the first NEM fork.
