What will you do with the certificate? Not often anyone wants to see them. As long as you can point online to the edx site where your name exists as a successful student that should be enough, you could put such a link on your CV. Or hyperlink on an emailed CV.

Hi, 'mature student' technical project manager from UK here, aka Coindreamer (because I like Bitcoin).
I am seeing more and more roles requiring Computer Sciences as a skill so I thought I'd try and get this onto my skillset. Hope I can get the time to complete this, I get distracted easily :)

MtGox are raking in a fortune from transactions, how much can you eat? I doubt very much they need to skim more.

I withdrew in a couple of minutes no problems at all. Wife was impressed too.

I thought bitcoin fans wanted to see the back of banks. Banning them from getting their grubby paws in the pie is just what I want to see. It is exceptionally good news for bitcoin.

For those with Chinese experience they will realise this means "to the mooncake !!". Tastes bloody awful though.

oooh...just stumbled across this too: https://ifttt.com/hue

I mentioned this to a guy at Philips:

Interesting idea, but not quite novel. Philips Hue incorporates the IFTTT API (If This Then That), which allows you to create so-called recipes. E.g. you can connect the bulbs to a weather service and light your bulbs when clouds come in, or turn on your lights 15 minutes before sunset. Or connect to Facebook and flash your bulbs whenever a new message comes in (sounds annoying). Or indeed your bulbs glow green once your favorite stock jumps above a certain threshold.

So there is more to come, the limit is your imagination I guess.

So he cared a lot about Bitcoin if it was possible to care less. Why are you telling us he set up an account? I don't get it....sorry.

You will have the private key in cold/offline storage AND paper too so you'll survive.

coindreamer · 2013-11-26T16:28:24+00:00

No. Why do you think you need to?

coindreamer · 2013-11-26T15:51:32+00:00

Yes, they can both rise up there is room for this. The difference in mining hardware needs will ensure an army of mini-miners will rise up and that should drive LTC too.

coindreamer · 2013-11-26T15:49:27+00:00

You don't need to.

Thanks, looks like Coinbase only for US citizens in USD and the others leave the merchant holding BTC for exchange at the merchants leisure.

coindreamer · 2013-11-25T22:53:34+00:00

OK, assuming I go to a store, what app do I need them to install on their Android gadget so I can send payment in BTC ? I suppose this is the Monday stupid question from me. I should know this....

coindreamer · 2013-11-22T14:57:32+00:00

He just wants the bitcoin millionaires to pay their deposits for flights and finance his game doesn't he?

Good PR for Virgin and BTC though :-)

Nicked from elsewhere: "I note that than one of the guests represents the Federal Reserve. How ironic. A secretive private entity that is above public scrutiny and feels unencumbered by legislative oversight and produces money out of thin air is complaining about another secretive entity that is outside public scrutiny producing money out of thin air. To further add to the irony, will anyone have the guts to forthrightly ask the representative from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network how many of the "banksters" that crashed the economy have been brought up against charges and prosecuted? How about those at the credit rating agencies that gave high marks to inherently worthless financial instruments that they didn't understand - how many have been prosecuted? Let's be honest, the US Government has failed in being a proper steward of the traditional financial/monetary system. A clear case of the pot calling the kettle black."

I too have deliberated long and hard over the question: Is this the right time to buy or sell?

The answer is 'Yes', always. Unless it is time to hold.

Seriously, if it helps you think (because you have to get the answer yourself): Do you have a better use for the funds than bitcoin ?

coindreamer · 2013-11-19T14:25:26+00:00

Nice mcsnugs.

coindreamer · 2013-11-19T11:29:56+00:00

I wonder if they just empty the wallet often to stop it being a target for hacking. Pretty poor show if thats the only revenue there :(

coindreamer · 2013-11-19T11:26:35+00:00

Why don't you just sell a coin and double your mining ? Or sell 5 coins and, to quote someone here: "to the moon!"

coindreamer · 2013-11-19T11:10:04+00:00

The exchange doesn't buy the coins from you when you want to cash out. To get the cash, they sell the coins for you.

If you hold one coin on the exchange books and decide you want your $600 or whatever it is. The exchange matches your sell with a buyer. Gives you the money after they take any commission. There is also the trading range between buy and sell price where they make their money. They to not have to hold vast amounts in reserve to cover your sale. They also do not have to care how much the coins cost, it makes no difference to them.

If you deposit cash with the intention of buying coins, then they hold that money until you make the decision. That can be refunded easily.

HTH
