Bitcoin for Real

Scammers
Bitcoin, a crypto-currency, can never become what money really is. Recently Mt. Gox shut down,  and many people cannot retrieve their funds. Mt. Gox says they incurred losses due to the theft of Bitcoins, thanks to an issue in the Bitcoin protocol. Lots of people who did the coding say that its extremely difficult to recreate that issue and is not possible to do large sums, or that there is a problem in the Bitcoin wallet software that they were using not in the underlying protocol.



But in my opinion they just scammed the users. Worse yet, they were attacked by the NSA or GCHQ, so that they can crumble the Bitcoin. The Intercept website has a post regarding this, alongside pictures that are from slideshows presented in their covert meetings.NSA and GCHQ have vested interests in this because the government would not be able to control the movement of the currency, and also regulate the amount that can be inserted into the economy, which is actually the banks.

Donate Your Computer

Hey People, you must be aware of Bitcoin, now kinda famous for more Bad reasons than Good, and seems to be increasing in value, sometimes changing haphazardly, because it's value depends on how much currency has been invested in it to buy them Bitcoins, and also all those computers trying to mine those coins because the Bitcoin is based on mathematics and solving problems to create more units of Bitcoin by verifying the transactions involving Bitcoin.

Thus, because of the low investment in resources and the high value of the coins lots of people install a software to remotely get their computers to work on those problems to earn Bitcoins that way. They use specific hardware configs specially designed to efficiently mine it.

Mega Specs Mega Bloat

Yesterday I tried out two phones, one was the Galaxy S4 and the other was Note 3, because I wanted to purchase one soon. I have a Galaxy S2, one of the beasts of its time, but easily drains out serving a techie B)



My S2 has been rooted and flashed with CM 10.2 and after using Startup Manager and Clean Master is really slick. Maybe because I just have like 10 apps installed, but that's just about what I seem to use frequently, or may be used in the near future.
