I did the same as you, so far. But interesting details from pdeuchler. There's always something to learn every day.

I know, I know. But what if a brand EMBRACES transparency? Don't you think that people might start liking that brand? Icelandic people are nice... These guys could be first.

Almost 100% agree with you. I would love #3. #6 is quite strange, though.

Same usual mistake: Google Glass is NOT a proper HUD (Heads Up Display), or a proper form of Augmented Reality. It doesn't project anything on the main vision area, but only on the little screen …

I am also very grateful for all your help.

What a sad story. Which part of Europe was he from?
I am not surprised that his father did not reply, but I'm sure that he appreciated your letter.

Quick comment on Edit2: very nice of Coinbase to do this; and I can be almost certain that it would NEVER happen with a normal bank. Brian, well played. Keep up the good work.

Hey AlisdairO, great work!!
Any way to get in touch with you? My email is in my profile.

Craig,
on another note: I am based in SF, and I'd like to get in touch with someone at Coinbase (I am writing a book on Bitcoin). Can you help?
comment
zachlatta, where are you based? I'd like to talk more.
As a suggestion, I think you should consider clarifying that this is not another Silk Road. The name suggests that :)
