MysticFearon Mt.Gox's tweets are all gone

I am not sure why people blame Mt. Gox for a problem within the Twitter protocol that always 'deletions'. We discussed the solution with the Twitter core developers and will allow our tweets to be displayed again once it has been approved and standardized.

The Dogecoin community offered to raise the money, but only if 100% of money raised goes to charity.

This offer was denied by Coinkite.

I would be very interested in the thoughts of hackernews on this.

MysticFearon Glenn Greenwald's news site, The Intercept, is up

We can send Dogecoins via Twitter.

Is Elon Musk associated with this, because it is quite bad form to put a celebrity on your front page without an endorsement from them.

MysticFearon Dogecoin Tutorial

I feel more bad for the people who type 4 angry comments on hackernews about an internet currency.

MysticFearon Oh my god, it's a girl (2010)

I came here to type that. Transparency with white text. Not good.

MysticFearon Customer service isn't a department

This is the main reason why I love Dogecoin. It is the great customer service that can be found. I do not know another cryptocurrency that offers this business function.

The person who created that acronym would get many Dogecoins from me.

MysticFearon Dogecoin market manipulation?

I'm pretty sure I saw hundreds of bitcoin threads on the frontpage, when it was going up in price as well.

MysticFearon Why Dogecoin is Important

If you think of each coin, as a startup with a wide distributed team: Branding, marketing, customer service, and appealing to your customer are a lot more necessary than "developer backing" or technical features.

This is when you are thankful for slower transaction times than the stock market.

MysticFearon Bitcoin Price Slumps Again

"There's absolutely no valid reason to sell right now"

China. Bitcoin will have slower growth than expected. Very good reason for a pullback after a massive spike up.

MysticFearon Ask HN: Health insurance for California freelancers?

If you are making decisions on "if the rules change", that is a very hard game to predict. I'm making the decision on what is the law now. Impossible to predict how it will change if it ever will.

MysticFearon Ask HN: Health insurance for California freelancers?

Pay the fine (tax, redefined by SCOTUS) and if you need urgent care go to the emergency room. Declare bankruptcy if it is too much otherwise pay the fees yourself. That is my plan of action. It is easier for me since I don't have a family.

MysticFearon DOJ lied to Supreme Court to avoid judicial review of warrantless surveillance

Not to mention Wyden was the one who asked James Clapper the questions that lead him to lie to Congress. Still have no idea why Clapper still holds his position.

MysticFearon Ask HN: Remote workers, tell us how you got started

I have been working remotely for 6 years now. I started off like you unemployed after a layoff, but during the start of the financial crisis.

I looked at employers around my area, craigslist, job sites, everywhere. Emails/called to see if they needed any extra help. Started with small contracts lasting a few weeks. Eventually building up a client list to have some stable employment.

It wasn't easy, but love it everyday. I always hated the office politics, annoying drawn out meetings, strict timeframes (work at this time, lunch during this time, etc). Just a lot more flexibility in life.

My advice is stay updated with technology and have quick response times to clients.

MysticFearon Mobile at Scale

HTML5 is not effective at the moment, but as phones become more powerful. I think it will take over. The same way the web app took over from desktop apps when personal PCs and network bandwidth improved.
