In case you are European, I can highly recommend bitcoin.de for hassle-free, legit buying and selling of Bitcoin. Similar to Coinbase, they're less a day-trading platform and more a place to buy …

Just got whooped 11-2 against someone who knew what he was doing. Easily the most fun I've had losing 11-2 in anything ever.

No, you simply hold down the key you want. No mashing. I have been easily beating guys who seem to be hitting the keys as quickly as possible.

The "help" button explains it pretty well, I thought - in a sense it's "perpetual" Rock Paper Scissors. Q beats W, W beats E, E beats Q. As you hold down one of those keys, if…

Actually just ordered out this evening, bought my family of 6 dinner (sushi, etc.) for 0.046 BTC at http://lieferservice.de which supports hundreds of restaurants throughout Germany. We ke…

To chime in here, one of the largest sites for ordering out in Germany, lieferservice.de, accepts Bitcoin. They have hundreds of participating restaurants. Here's a picture of the food on our tab…

I think the only way it might have a chance of working is the fact that the (well-known, "legit", and large) gambling site SatoshiDice works almost the same way - you send it bitcoin and it …

Correlates with about a 5-7 day delay due to needing verification before you can purchase. In other words: now is a pretty good time to buy before the crowd arrives that juts heard about bitcoin becau…

In a sense, knowing about Bitcoin in those early days and not buying any at all was a monetary bet. A very costly one.

Seems like this company should be an insta-cquire for Apple any day now. They display Apple's core values more than any other company I know (outside of Apple). Since it's Bluetooth it seems…

One more thing to add in: If you're in Germany (and are not an American citizen), I highly recommend bitcoin.de for buying/selling bitcoins. Super smooth, very legit, plus they are working w…

quarterto's law: Any headline which ends in a question mark will have a comment on it citing Betteridge's Law. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5742893 …

This is very reminiscent of http://www.tagbak.net which adds in a "reward for return" for the honest finder (which is a great idea). IIRC, TagBak is trying to work with vendors t…

A few thoughts * I hear "app" I think "app" as in iOS or Android or Mac app, I have never heard anyone say "app" for "application". * The whole thing smells of …

"I originally went all in at $7, went out at the same price on the way down, and went back all in at about $3. I've done extensive (bad) trading, and don't have my entire initial positi…
comment
At first, this article struck a nerve and I found myself agreeing for a while. On second thought, however, I think the author falls to the other extreme of that which he is criticizing. I'm all f…

OK, too bad. Any other limitations to know about? Like I said: looks very promising!
