No shit
sigh
Why do I do even bother asking

An example of a punk approach to teaching can be found at Middlesex University, where Marcus O’Dair, senior lecturer in popular music, and Zuleika Beavan, senior lecturer in arts management, have challenged their students to raise money for a music release using the digital currency Bitcoin. The DIY aspect of the project, combined with the absence of established rules regarding Bitcoin, led them to frame it as punk. “There seems to be a lot of potential [for] disruption [with a system like Bitcoin], so it feels like an exciting space to be in,” Mr O’Dair said.

about 6 years too late buddy

punk's not dead maaaan

it's a cryptocurrency and a payment system invented by an unidentified programmer, or group of programmers, under the name of satoshi nakamoto

that whole article was o_O but the bitcoin stuff seemed particularly questionable

Down 9 pct today

Chinese gov cracking down on their exchanges I guess

my little bro runs a bitcoin derivatives exchange, it's pretty exciting to see this stuff play out at a distance. making good cash but he put a ton of time into it and knows it could all go belly up any moment.

all-time high 2day

I think this should help explain things

recently learned that when mtgox disappeared, an acquaintance lost what would be worth more than 9 figures in today's market o_____________O

a fool and his bitcoins have financially sharted

apparently if the price keeps rising mtgox will actually be able to pay off everyone which would cause an immediate crash, lol

no-one knew economics could be so difficult

wonder how much my bitcoins r worth these days

in retrospect i can see that my choice to invest heavily in groincoins was foolish

0.02181037 BTC
$46.58

almost fifty bucks!

I know you can buy / sell through coinbase but what are the tax implications?

wld assume capitol gains

dont take my word for it tho! always remember to google

lag∞n being modest, he's a certified bit¢oin accountant

his office is an abandoned refrigerator under a flyover iirc

has anyone made a jewish cryptocurrency yet? Bitgelt or something like that?

In the past year, BTC has been in the news a lot but has only risen by a factor of 9. litecoin though has risen by a factor of about 17, and ethereum by about 40.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That's the symbol for the square root of me doubly not giving a fuck

where can I buy beer with those though, or pay my bills

dark web sells beer to minors

i paid 3btc for a pound of beer (fentanyl) on the dark web

“hot coin offering” is not a real phrase I should even vaguely comprehend

introducing Bail Bloc - it lets you donate your spare computer power to generate bail for low income defenders https://t.co/u0r8PNCuMz

would love to hear more about the viability of that

that is fn good as hell

i may have access to a corporate compute cluster right now

i keep making jokes about running mining jobs on it, be kind of funny if i did

ha was just thinking same (i do not have access to a cluster)

im thinking the increased electricity cost may be more than the value i mine lol

I feel like there's a way to completely evade transparency here, i.e. let the charities skim however much they want from the funds raised without disclosing it at all

Does this cost more to run in electricity than it generates in revenue for bail?
Unlike Bitcoin and other popular crypto coins, which require a great deal of energy to mine, Monero is ASIC-resistant, which means that it requires a comparatively negligible amount of energy, and is therefore cost efficient.

How much of my CPU will this require?
By default Bail Bloc uses 10% of your CPU, which should make it unnoticeable for most users. This setting is labeled as "Low Impact" on the Settings dropdown menu. You can also optionally increase the CPU impact to 25% (Medium) and 50% (High)
