quote:

I have accepted that Ross will spend time in prison, and more important I know Ross has accepted it as well. When I think about what he faces I feel afraid for him. When think of the men in prison they stand in stark contrast to who Ross is. Ross has no tattoos, no tear drops on his cheeks, no spider webs on his elbows. No scars given to him by anyone in anger, or by himself. Ross is not dark, brooding, violent or angry at the world. Ross has never been a cynic. He has no priors, so no recidivism. Rather, Ross is an idealist, a thinker, philosophically minded and peaceful. A lover of nature.

yeah, the dark has nothing to do with his skin color to be honest. the dude writing shows he's sheltered as hell and a complete rear end in a top hat but he's not being racist on purpose (although you know he's a racist shithead too).

quote:

Ross also did something I would not have imagined in college. At a young age he purchased a multi-bedroom home and spent a considerable time doing all the repairs necessary to then rent it to fellow students. In all my college years I can't recall anyone doing anything that "adult" and constructive.

i too remember when i bought a multi-bedroom house while i was in college. those were the days.


quote:

Ross is undeniably a man of exemplary character. I have known this all his life, but am reminded of it by a simple act of kindness that Ross demonstrated in May, 2013. After an event, he, land our cousins found ourselves trapped under an awning in the midst of an extreme downpour. We assumed we would be stranded for a considerable time, lest we become thoroughly soaked. As the driver, i felt a sense ofobligation to rescue us by making a dash for the car, but given our distance i opted for the relative dryness of our existing location. i sensed that I was disappointing the group, but I also wasn't prepared to be drenched. Without hesitation or prompting, Ross requested the keys and simply strolled out into the tempest.

Not one other person took it upon himself to sacrifice his comfort. So, if it is truly the little things that define a man?s character, then it is clear that Ross is among a rare class of people who value others more than themselves.

a real man... and a true hero

Trading Executive Develops Ledger Technology Gazillion Times Faster than Bitcoin Blockchain

Isn't this just an off blockchain ledger like some of the thin clients use?

quote:

According to a report from efinancialnews.com, founder of European trading venue Chi-X Peter Randall has developed an accelerated version of the Bitcoin blockchain, which supports 5,000 transactions per second and could reach 100,000 transactions per second. Currently, Bitcoin blockchain supports a mere 7 transactions per second.

And centralize the decentralized.

quote:

The computers participating in the network will have to be authorized and identifiable. To keep the regulators and auditors in the loop, SETL is also open to external investigation as well.


In other news "Author" Evander Smart "reports" in all seriousness - Coinbase CEO: Bitcoin Will Replace Dollar within 15 Years (Op-Ed)

Get ready to dump that filthy fiat for glorious bitcoin.

As many experts around the world agree that the dollar’s dominance won’t last forever the CEO of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, believes bitcoin will “surpass” it as a global reserve currency “within 10-15 years.”

they are privileged imbeciles who have never taken a step back to look at the world as it is. they would never, ever, realize (just like ross didn't, his own letter is by far the worst of the bunch) that showcasing all the freaking freedom and opportunities that ross had in life is actually a negative when asking for clemency.

like, i found the rain one particularly funny because, at least where i am from, that would be the expected thing to do for any young dude. nobody would ever give it a second thought. but, wow! he got wet! for us! I wouldn't want to be friends with people who consider that a big thing.
