The Bitcoin Game #1 - Southern California Job Fair
October 15th, 2014 by
Rob Welcome to the first episode of The Bitcoin Game. I was fortunate that Dan Roseman of the Bitcoin job board Coinality.com, decided to bring his Bitcoin Job Fair to Southern California on October 4th, 2014. The event was held at the Plug And Play Tech Center in Santa Monica. In this podcast you'll hear interviews with principal members of four Bitcoin businesses that were hiring at the job fair (there were many more than just these four!). I started with a quick chat with ExpressCoin CEO Will ... Read More -
The Yin and Yang of Cryptocurrency
October 15th, 2014 by john In the fall of 2008, a credit crunch led to a deep recession following the bankruptcies of several large financial institutions. There are many perspectives on the causes of these events, but the effects are clear: multi-trillion dollar bailouts for the large investment banks which held “toxic” sub-prime mortgage-backed securities, housing foreclosures for the sub-prime borrowers, and widespread un- or under-employment due to layoffs after the credit crisis. It has been almost six ye... Read More -

Erik Voorhees Explains Why Some Bitcoin Companies Are Blocking American Users
October 14th, 2014 by
kyletorpey Although Americans generally believe that they live in the home of free markets, the United States’ role as a leader of economic freedom has been declining for decades. The United States ranked 12th on the latest version of the Heritage Foundation’s economic freedom index and is now relegated to the designation of “mostly free.” The myth of unbridled economic freedom in America is being exposed by Bitcoin.

Chain Wars: Tine Attack
October 13th, 2014 by mdw This is part two of a series called Chain Wars. It started last week with this double length intro: http://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/chain-wars-the-worm
Tine van der Hoeff was an expert in keeping next generation blockchains running. But she was lured away on an important task by an unknown patron. Working with her friend Theo, she plans to attack the chain worm, Naga Sib.
Tine understood how important it was for humans to maintain control over their technology. She knew that humans set the rules for the chain when the code was launched. Surely, she thought, better chain design could prevent chain infections from happening.
Some parts of the Naga Sib codebase remained mysterious, including the instruction set for building the next generation. Many of its secrets were hidden in a big binary blob, from which both parts of the worm could be made. It was not clear how to extract the information from that binary hunk of code, but it contained the digital DNA of the chain worm.
Tine's current goal was to figure out how it worked and how to conquer it. She would kill both halves of this at the same time. Then she intended to find out who was behind Naga Sib, and why.

Trust-Controlled Access
October 11th, 2014 by john Following on the same ideas Adam B. Levine discussed on P2P Connects Us around Token Controlled Access/Viewpoint, I got an idea for using Ripple's "trust line" feature to offer a similar, but different, model of access control. What Is A Trust Line? In Ripple, users can explicitly express "trust" to other users using a trust line. These trust lines are denominated with an amount and a 3-letter currency code. The purpose is to ensure that users never get stuck with... Read More -
