Pair raises $500K, preparing to rain bitcoins on undergrads $100 per student hoped to spur innovation at MIT By Austin Hess and Leon Lin EDITORS April 29, 2014 Donors have committed to giving $100 in bitcoins to each of MIT’s about 4,500 undergraduates this fall. Jeremy L. Rubin ’16 and Daniel B. Elitzer, a first-year Sloan MBA student, are spearheading the project, which they hope will sow the seeds of an innovative bitcoin “ecosystem” at MIT. Rubin and Elitzer said they’ve secured more than $500,000 in commitments from about 25 donors. Half of the money will come from Alexander Morcos ’97, who co-founded Hudson River Trading, a high-frequency trading firm based in New York. Rubin and Elitzer met with MIT administrators before announcing their plans. An MIT spokesman wrote in an email that “[t]he administration wishes the project’s leaders and participants all success.” The initiative’s press release lists 10 MIT faculty and staff as supporters of the project. Former International Monetary Fund chief economist Simon Johnson, an MIT professor unaffiliated with the project, said that he was “all in favor” of encouraging innovation in finance and that Rubin and Elitzer’s experiment “could be a positive” for perceptions of bitcoin. He noted that the cryptocurrency’s credibility has become a bigger concern this year after the bankruptcy of Mt. Gox, once the largest bitcoin exchange. Bitcoin is a digital payment system that uses a peer-to-peer network to facilitate payments made in units called bitcoins. Members of the network can use an open-source cryptographic protocol to verify payments in return for transaction fees and new bitcoins in a process called mining. One bitcoin could be bought for about $443 at press time, according to Coinbase, a bitcoin wallet service. The value of one bitcoin rose from less than $15 in January 2013 to a peak of over $1,100 in December. Rubin and Elitzer’s announcement months in advance is timed to give local businesses a chance to begin accepting bitcoin and to give students and researchers a chance to develop bitcoin-related applications. “What I’m hoping is that infrastructure gets sufficiently built around MIT that bitcoin actually becomes a useful commodity to have,” Rubin said. Rubin said: “Everybody has access to the Internet, right — so you want to launch a webapp? Everybody can do that. You want to launch a bitcoin or cryptocurrency app? That’s a little bit harder … you can’t test it in your immediate friend group. But hopefully [that’s] what we’ll enable.” Elitzer said that they hoped the project would also spur new research, both in the technology of cryptocurrencies and in the economics of how people use them. “Right now there is not a geographic place that you can go to and assume that people have relatively broad access to bitcoin,” Elitzer said, suggesting that that could change with their experiment, which might make for an interesting case study. “What might the world look like if bitcoin, or something like bitcoin, were widely accepted?” MIT’s undergraduate education dean, Dennis M. Freeman PhD ‘86, said in a statement: “By bringing students and faculty together to inform members of the MIT community about what bitcoin is and to research its use, Rubin and Elitzer are helping everyone to better understand this emerging technology.” This experiment is neither student’s first bitcoin-related project. In 2013, Rubin worked with three other undergraduates on a bitcoin-related project called Tidbit. Tidbit was later subpoenaed by the New Jersey attorney general as part of a consumer fraud investigation. Rubin, with the help of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group, is currently fighting for the subpoena to be withdrawn. MIT has sent a letter to the New Jersey attorney general in support of Rubin.

So many people are working so hard on making Bitcoin the payment system of the future (self.Bitcoin) submitted 6 minutes ago by Notapanicseller Look on the mainpage. Nothing but amazing stories. And what happens? It gets destroyed by day traders, panic sellers, traders with insider information, manipulators and the list goes on. All i hear is about how the government is evil, how banks want to stop Bitcoin. Those people aren't the problem. People with bitcoins are.

Bitcoins. World Involvement. And it's legality. Everyone should read this. (self.Bitcoin) submitted 3 hours ago * by 9to5everything Bitcoin is not a currency and technically is 100% legal everywhere in the world. There is no reason it can be banned and Im surprised how many people don't realize this. Even in china, unless they start beating their citizens as to why they are not allowed to use it, theres no reason for it to be banned. If John buys a pair of sneakers on the internet for $400 then decides he wants to trade it for other sneakers or use it to barter, noone can tell John anything. Correct? Right because there's nothing wrong with it. He's allowed to do this. Lets say the sneaker he buys turns out to be something everyone wants and the demand goes skyhigh and the value turns into $1000. He now owns a pair of shoes that is worth $1000. It is his money and he's allowed to do whatever he wishes with them. Bitcoin is basically taking the American dollar or world dollar and shifting it to a new "economy" or a virtual world as we call it. Liberals love this because this is allowed and by law they can't be bothered. Once again. Legally this is allowed. 100 percent no doubt about it. One problem now. There are flaws in Bitcoins because the internet is not the safest place to keep your "goods". This is true but people that have decided to use bitcoins know that there are risks. Just like the stock market. Or a shoe market where people barter sneakers in return for other items. Theres a risk with everything you do in life. At this point, bartering shoes or buying and trading coins should be beyond the governments control. Technically if John wants to barter sneakers with his own money he is allowed to. Wether the shoe gets lost somewhere or stolen, thats the risk John takes and eventually the money will find its way back into the world market. I understand this can have a 100% negative effect on the everyday world because one person in the end could have stolen billions of dollars. Or maybe it's a good thing if you actually think about it. On one side The U.S. government keeps raising taxes on everything from your weekly salary to your every last purchase. The money keeps going in but the economy isn't getting any better. They have enough money to buy a whole new country but they can't figure out the right way to spread the funds. Maybe shifting money to Bitcoins is a good thing. Maybe a stop to their weekly allowance (as funny as it sounds) will show them the value of money or the value of each person using their currency because if you think about it, we are using their service and they are in the ones in control. Maybe the use of Bitcoins and shifting a good amount of U.S. dollar to a new economy where we barter our hard earned money before it goes back into the world economy is a great idea. No doubt about it were lab rats playing the game of the home team which is the gov't and thats fine. But are we not able to experiment and think outside the box for something this technologically brilliant? Nothing about this idea should be regulated by the government. WE DONT HAVE TO USE THE AMERICAN DOLLAR IN OUR EVERYDAY PURCHASE. I SURE DONT. I can technically move my money to pesos and make my everyday purchases in pesos if everyone else did it. Or back to the shoes, I could spend the rest of my life making payments and purchases in shoes. THAT'S MY CHOICE. CHINA NEEDS TO WAKE UP. We get it your copy cats (no pun intended) and waiting for us to make the move first. And do we even need China??? At least for now. Think about it. I get it, they are a big part of the world economy but why can't BItcoins move forward without every single countries involvement? If they see the new markets like Bitcoin's growing they will eventually have no choice but to join. For example, just like Overstocks involvement in Bitcoin, if Bitcoin was still at value of $1000 right now, or just growing in general Amazon would have no choice but to accept Bitcoin because they would lose a HUGE amount of business to Overstock. AMAZON WOULD HAVE NO CHOICE ADDING ANOTHER HUGE VENDOR TO THE LIST. IF HUGE COMPANIES CONTINUE ACCEPTING BITCOINS CHINA WONT HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT IT. THEY DONT REALIZE BITCOINS IS NOT ONE FORM OF PAYMENT. ITS A FORM OF PAYMENT IN ADDITION TO THE AMERICAN DOLLAR OR YEN. IF SOMEONE PAYS ME IN PENNIES OPPOSED TO BILLS AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS STILL MONEY. OF COURSE I ACCEPT IT. PAY ME IN A PAIR OF SHOES THAT IS EQUIVALENT TO MY ITEM FOR SALE AND IF I AGREE TO ACCEPT IT THEN THAT IS MY OWN BUSINESS DECISION. IF I PUT A "SNEAKER ACCEPTED" LOGO IN MY CHECKOUT THAT IS MY BUSINESS. When I barter my sneakers for limited edition U.S. coins NOONE says anything. But when it has the word coin next to it, it becomes a problem. Maybe thats what needs to change. It should be called something else like an item we use everyday or maybe even a new word. China - It's time to let your people spend their money the way they want to. Eventually if this works you won't have control because they will purchase. Look how big China is, when a good amount of people there start buying Bitcoins you wont have any choice but to let them do it. It's just a matter of time before they realize this. The money will find its way back into the economy. There are risks involved, just like when you jampack 10,000 workers into a factory that only holds 8,000. You take a risk, just like John when he decided to use his money to buy shoes and barter it because in the end its his pair of shoes. Bitcoins is not equation for fixing the world but there should be no rules when it comes to this and there is no need for Bitcoins to be banned by anyone or any government. Day by day we realize our potential when we come out with a technological idea that makes this world that much better. What if we said printing your teddy bear is a stupid idea. We wouldn't know the potential of what it can do. The U.S. gov't is hoping the next "Economist" will come up with a solution but I highly doubt it will magically just happen or one person waking up one day and saying "Hey! I figured it out!". Regulate your government. Noone cares. It's yours. If we want to use our money for our own services its our choice. Nothing about it is illegal nor against the norm. I'm not some guy on a forum saying "hey I want my voice to be heard". Im some guy on a forum saying I realize whats going on and it will eventually work. This is technology at its finest and it will work because in the end genius finds its way around. You have CEO's of Virgin (Keep in mind, a guy who is sending people to SPACE!) and CEO's of multi billion dollar companies who have taken the risk of accepting Bitcoins and have studies it and understood the risks and you as a Politician who masters the political field tell business magnates they have no idea whats going on? Thats sort of an insult. These are the guys sending your children to space and the ones who deliver your Christmas gifts on time when that time of the year comes around. Im telling you if Bitcoin fails, an alternative will be formed eventually and possibly perfected because when the idea of an airplane came out, everyone thought it was stupid... and look now. -Elham

How many years till DAOs could replace insurance providers? (self.Bitcoin) submitted 5 hours ago by wildlight I sure hope it's soon. I'd love crowd funded insurance where we can all pool our money and agree to charge the lowest profitable rates possible. I suppose, there will be a need for sophisticated arbitration services or ridiculously well scripted smart contracts before this could be particularly marketable. Is anyone working on this already? Is there any interesting theory on how such systems could work? [–]wildlight[S] 1 point 5 hours ago Of course they will. I'm not so interested in how long its going to take for people to adapt, but when all the pieces will be in place for it to ht the market. I'm wondering if DAO's can find a way to comply with state laws or if they will simply have to bypass the existing system again. Maybe people will have warmed up to the idea by the time they are available.

Could projects like BitWasp or DarkMarket be the basis for subpoena-less AirBnBs and Ubers of the future? (self.Bitcoin) submitted 6 hours ago by _bc I just read through Here’s The Real Reason Governments Are Cracking Down on Uber And Airbnb. It likens both companies to bitcoin, in that they similarly allow "users and buyers to transact without mediation by the powers that have traditionally controlled those transactions". Both airbnb and uber are disruptive, but neither is decentralized. Data on thousands of airbnb customers are at stake. New York State wants to identify New Yorkers who they claim are illegally renting out their apartments. Could a site based on Bitwasp or DarkMarket fill roles similar to these companies while better-preserving the privacy of customers? TL;DR could we see articles, in the future, on TaxiRoad and RentersRoad - examples of a more-readily appealing "Dark Web" that might win-over more converts to bitcoin? [–]DannyDesert 4 points 6 hours ago 100 % this is going to happen.

/r/cryptocurrency continues to be an untapped gold mine. How much have you made/lost daytrading cryptocurrencies?Fun (self.CryptoCurrency) submitted 11 days ago by shulaces88 Starting capital? Biggest gain? Biggest loss? Let's swap some stories. Should be a fun read for some new traders out there. [–]Xavhorn 4 points 7 days ago Started with 15 LTC bought @ $13 each last November and didn't even sell at the $40~ peak. LTC crashed back down so I sold it at the same price and broke even to get into Megacoin. Megacoin was up according to Coinmarketcap.com so I bought in at the peak and lost half of my original $200 investment on LTC when it went down. Then I got into Bytecoin and I lost money in that as well when it lost half of it's value. I was so pissed when the price shot back up after I sold my coins. I was down to $50 and by that time Quarkcoin just had its second pump and dump so I ridiculously thought there might be a third one and put that last $50 and another $200 on Quark, along with $200 from a friend of mine. So I waited and waited and Quark was not getting pumped. I eventually lost my patience after 3 weeks and sold at a small profit and paid back my friend the exact amount he lent me, vowing to never gamble. Fast forward to February and I find out about Counterparty the day AFTER the burn period ended. My loving luck. Either way, I buy around $200 worth of XCP from a reputable Bitcointalk member and held that for a long time while missing the pump to 0.029 BTC on Poloniex due to not knowing how to install the command client properly and not being able to send my XCP to my Poloniex account. In March, I discover Auroracoin and get a feeling it's going to get a nice pump and it does... right after my payday so I miss the pump. I think and HOPE it gets pumped again before the airdrop so I invest $200 again into this coin. It gets pumped around two weeks before the drop, but I don't sell, like an idiot. The drop comes and price comes crashing. I sell at a $150 loss on my investment. Fast forward to early this month and Chancecoin. Another proof of burn project. I'm going all in on this one. I saw how successful Counterparty was so I figure that this has to give me at last a 100% return on my investment or better. I even borrowed money to do so. I have around $1000 in BTC invested in Chancecoin right now so I missed the Blackcoin train because I was focused on the Chancecoin. Kind of pissed about that, but I'm still happy with my Chancecoin investment. Recently I threw 0.15 BTC at Whitecoin and I'm praying I can ROI on that when the POS is active. If it performs even at a fraction of how Blackcoin performed and I can get at least a 500% ROI. I'm going to burn that into more Chancecoins. And now I'm here. All in on Chancecoin and praying that Proof of Burn has some ROI magic. I finally figured out how to get Chancecoin GUI client running so I won't be late to the exchanges again. It's been quite a journey and it's still not over.

[–]blorg 2 points 21 minutes ago The whole "plan" is handwaving. It's 22 pages of pumping up how marvellous these characters are, and then their plan to get the lost coins back on page 27 is: Restoration of the secret key and bitcoins <1> Digital investigation of lost coins. <2> Restoration of bitcoins That's it. That's the plan. For which they want $10m up front out of creditors' money. Also, interesting to see on page 14 that under "Associations and Industry Groups in Which Group Members Participate (Serve as Officers)" the first of three listed is "Bitcoin Association", which was founded by Bruce Fenton, who is on here talking this rescue plan up constantly. [–]MrDiddyK 3 points 12 minutes ago* Well, now I understand what Bruce Fenton's angle on promoting this plan is. /u/bruce_fenton has paraded around this sub for weeks spreading lies and misinformation about the nature of this plan in an effort to promote it, all the while claiming to have no actual connection to it and no interest in it beyond a"very small amount of Bitcoin which was at Gox" Well, right here in the plan it specifies this investment group includes serving officers of the Bitcoin Association, which Fenton has indicated in the past he is President of. Who wants to bet that Bruce has been promoting this scam because he has been expecting to be brought into the fold by his buddies in the Bitcoin Association and been offered a BS position in the "New Gox" as they collect salaries from what's left of the assets and bleed it even more dry?
