A Fresh Look at the Bitcoin Foundation, Part One
February 25th, 2015 by
Sam J. This series of posts will show the perspective of a relative newcomer to Bitcoin, focus on the function of the Bitcoin Foundation, and cover aspects such as such as communication, public perception, efficiency, as well as transparency. I only recently joined the foundation, after looking for a way in which I could provide support towards Bitcoin’s development. The foundation is arguably the "official" organisation behind Bitcoin for many reasons, although it is important to note that the two are independent. One is a decentralized, open-source cryptocurrency. The other is a nonprofit organization. Read More -
Bitcoin in Middle Earth: A Trip to Queenstown, NZ
February 8th, 2015 by
Tatiana Moroz In November, I went all over the world—Vegas to Melbourne, then Sydney to Queenstown. I haven't posted everything from this trip yet, because frankly, there is so much content to go through, it's a bit overwhelming. But I did do some fun interviews that were easy enough to edit, so I wanted to share them here. One of the first friends I made in Bitcoin was Andreas Antonopoulos, when he heard me sing the Bitcoin Jingle for the first time I ever sang it in Buenos Aires. Read More -
A Bitcoin Talk in Costa Rica
February 8th, 2015 by
Arturo I finished 2014 with so many great experiences in Argentina that the final outcome of educating and assisting in the Bitcoin adoption there didn't disappoint me. ...
What I didn't expect was that a "tico" (Costa Rican) would contact me and ask whether I wanted to give a Bitcoin talk in San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica. I was already going to visit Costa Rica on my way up from South America as I headed to Canada, so I accepted the invitation.

My Introduction to BitTippers

Decentralized Internet Update
October 31st, 2014 by
mike ward There is considerable activity going on behind the scenes, so I figured I'd offer a survey of current events, instead of taking an in-depth look at various topics individually.
The Huffington Post carried an article recently about domain name thefts. The main point was that domain thefts happen, and there is often little recourse for the domain registrants. As long as we rely on registrars to safeguard our domain names, instead of controlling our own, thefts will happen.
This week I came across an altcoin called EmerCoin. They allow people to register .emc and .coin domains. Now is the preregistration period. Domains will be allocated, for free, to registrants of existing domains in other extensions.
okTurtles announced this week that they are hiring! The team is expanding in order to better pursue development efforts around its flagship products—DNSChain and okTurtles software. Node.js developers are wanted, as well as fundraisers. Also, the OpenBazaar team has begun their DNSChain integration effort.
ICANN 51 took place in Los Angeles last week, with hundreds of participants falling asleep during the proceedings. The main item on the agenda was, of course, the IANA Stewardship transition, but we also take a look at proposed changes to WHOIS.
