I would like to create a landing page service using your landing page in a day service. When you design my landing page service page, please make it read "Landing Page in Half a Day". The cost will be $999.

Agreed, I would expect news like this to cause a much much bigger spike.

Also interesting in regards to Bitcoin donations: "Greenpeace, Inc. is a non-profit, tax-exempt, 501(c)(4) organization. Donations to Greenpeace, Inc. are not tax-deductible."

TL;DR... Most important reason that this is a good thing for Bitcoin:

> Since Greenpeace does not accept government support, individual donations are of paramount importance in the fight for pollution control, nuclear arms control and wildlife protection. > Bitcoin and Greenpeace go together as a terrific pair, with a similar goal

tl;dr

In the end the guy who considers himself a hipster engineer wrapped the stuff into if statement:

     clearMenus()
     if (!isActive) $parent.toggleClass('open')

Furthermore he twitted that "The only reason I [fat] don't use semicolons is to troll people."

I agree. Why isn't the Belmont Stakes listed on this site?

In case you were curious how they make money, here is BitBookie's answer:

"It's too early to monetize, but when we do, it will probably be through ads or affiliate programs.

I think that not charging a house take will have a positive effect on the quality of the site. Most sites do have a house take and that creates an incentive for them to be very pushy about driving bets. It's annoying and distracting. It's like being in a real casino!"

What is going on here?

The only serious traffic I got to my website RoadPetition.com came from when it was featured on Google Maps Mania.

Does anyone here have any feedback for me on this Google Maps Mashup?

This makes Newegg even more attractive with their $50 a year premier plan. If you mostly buy computers or electronics (which I assume most of HN readers do).

I would bet on 2048 Co-op. Like Twitch and crowd sourced Pokemon :)

Ponzi Scheme || Tulips != Bitcoin

Poor article. Haven't these already been proven?

Until Mt. Gox publicly confirms that no one will be getting their BTC and/or fiat money back, I think it's wrong to assume money owed to the users has been lost. Please have faith that they will do the right thing.

Oh no, a letter has been sent!

Please stop saying things like this:

"chances of getting our money back are still extremely slim"

This Youtube video was recorded and published on July 17th, 2013. It does NOT pertain to recent events.

I have been waiting since October for a transfer of USD to my bank account for an amount that I had sold 1 BTC for USD. I have had an open support ticket with them for 3 months now and they have held my money hostage.

Just last week when the price of BTC was lower than what I had sold mt BTC for, I asked them to cancel the withdrawal and credit my account. I then proceeded to purchase back more BTC than I had sold originally over 4 months ago.

Unfortunately my BTC is still held hostage until they reinstate BTC withdrawals but their support has confirmed that I will be able to withdraw my BTC.

Are you saying that these are the modified transaction IDs?

Two questions:

1. Do the attackers (users who abuse this), modify all transactions they see or do they target those transactions that only involve their wallet?

2. Even given the relative ease an attacker would have with modifying a transaction, that transaction still needs to be accepted by the majority otherwise their modification is ignored. So given 2 transactions for the same bitcoin transfer, I would guess that 50% of the time their transaction is accepted. I guess that the attacker could modify the transaction, for example, 4 times and then it's an 80% chance that one of their modification is accepted (4 out of 5). Do I have that right?

This was a good article, I enjoyed it's breakdown with examples.

Good one timv. I wonder what Paypal would do with Bitcoin ebooks.

Agreed, I see no reason to hold a balance on Paypal.

You are correct. By non-physical item, I could only think of a Bitcoin related currency exchange for USD or any other fiat currency.

Unless, can you think of a Bitcoin related non-physical item that is NOT a currency exchange?

Paypal is banning any account which deals in currency exchange. They are still allowing hardware such as Bitcoin mining devices. The gray area are Casascius Coins which they are banning because it involves currency exchange even though it is sold with a physical item.

By the way, my post title was changed by someone else. Paypal is NOT banning anything Bitcoin related, they are only banning Bitcoin exchanges for fiat currencies.

They are banning the sale of non-physical items. So miners/hardware, even your GPU :) is safe to sell. Basically if it can be shipped in a box, it's fine.

Vires in Numeris! Long live Bitcoin!

Regarding: "Since the wallet requires an internet connect, if you have a firewall you must allow the program access. Make sure the boxes are checked, then allow access if prompted." http://howtodogecoin.com/images/wallet/windows/win-firewall....

I don't think you should be allowing the Doge Client to run in public networks. Am I wrong?

And this would be a reason to use a trusted CDN location for serving your jQuery library.

Like I said, I'm waiting for it to go to $2000 before I sell but maybe $1300 for a quick profit.

Merrill Lynch appraised it at $1300: http://www.ibtimes.com/bitcoin-worth-1300-merrill-lynchs-cas...

I agree with you about no government being able to ban bitcoin. It's unstoppable.

This is crazy fun to watch. I just bought 4 bitcoins at $685 from Coinbase and it's already up to $777 just 10 minutes later. I think I hit the right time to buy, now I wait for it to go to $2000.

I bet that this will be taken down once it receives enough hits or attention.
