Some notes on the case against online voting

Online voting is a peculiarly frustrating issue for me. Because of my professional background, I am a serious skeptic. But the idea appeals strongly to many people who have the best of motives but don’t have an information technology background. (It also appeals to some technical people but I know very few and they mostly seem to be really into Bitcoin.)

the 8mb fork is up for comment on github, with this little gem in the note

+Important information
+======================
+
+Transaction flooding
+---------------------
+
+At the time of this release, the P2P network is being flooded with low-fee
+transactions. This causes a ballooning of the mempool size.
+
+If this growth of the mempool causes problematic memory use on your node, it is
+possible to change a few configuration options to work around this. The growth
+of the mempool can be monitored with the RPC command `getmempoolinfo`.
+
+One is to increase the minimum transaction relay fee `minrelaytxfee`, which
+defaults to 0.00001. This will cause transactions with fewer BTC/kB fee to be
+rejected, and thus fewer transactions entering the mempool.
+
+The other is to restrict the relaying of free transactions with
+`limitfreerelay`. This option sets the number of kB/minute at which
+free transactions (with enough priority) will be accepted. It defaults to 15.
+Reducing this number reduces the speed at which the mempool can grow due
+to free transactions.
+
+For example, add the following to `bitcoin.conf`:
+
+ minrelaytxfee=0.00005
+ limitfreerelay=5
+
+More robust solutions are being worked on for a follow-up release.

Knowing i'm about to invest a significant sum of money in bitcoin, my wife thought it would be a jolly wheeze to wake me up this morning and say "It's all over the news, bitcoins gone up 300%, you've missed the boat!"
After coming close to losing it when I found she was joking, it did make me realise just how much I believe in bitcoin and exactly how much I would kick myself if I missed out on it!

Liam Lyburd guilty of Newcastle College mass murder plot

Teen was hours away from Columbine-style massacre at his old school: Ex-student, 19, 'stockpiled weapons and explosives including a 9mm pistol and five pipe bombs in a bid to carry out mass murder'

quote:

He is said to have used the digital currency Bitcoin to buy a 9mm Luger Calibre Glock gun on the ‘dark web’ – a secret part of the internet that cannot be accessed by mainstream search engines.

quote:

The jury was told that Lyburd had developed a hatred for the college, which has more than 20,000 students, when he was thrown out in 2012 for ‘shocking’ behaviour after being enrolled for just five weeks.

I wonder what he did that was so shocking? Oh apparently disruptive behaviour and poor attendance, what a charmer.

to be fair, the only reason they don't make 40 million dollars every month is because all of their subscribers just reverse the charges on their credit cards

Nah, it used to make the equivalent of 120 million US dollars a month in Japan only. Yes, four million dollars a day. (For a short while the stock of gungho, the developer, was valued higher than nintendo's)

It's a really good game. :shrugs:
