experimental outline:

title: crypto-stupidity exploration

purpose: to determine if bitcoin's detractors are exaggerating the propensity of bitcoiners to get scammed

hypothosis: if exposed to an obvious scam, bitcoiners will still fall for it

procedure: create blatant ponzi scheme where returns are clearly being paid out of latest "investor". wait.

measurements: received in excess of $130k worth of "investments" in less than four days.

conclusions: hypothesis confirmed. bitcoiners are indeed that loving stupid.

Mt. Gox to open coffee shop in lobby (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 18 minutes ago by remoraguy

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Mt Gox corporate have announced plans for a new coffee shop in their lobby.

"We have determined that their is a growing need to serve the number visitors we have experienced in the last few days. Our management are firm fans of a good latte and we feel that this is a logical expansion of our current business model."

While all equipment is in place, management has asked for patience as they deal with some inherent problems with the coffee machines supplied by Bunn International.

"We ask everybody to be patient while the manufacturer addresses certain key problems with their equipment".

In the meantime, Mt.Gox is actively taking all coffee orders in bitcoin and expects to serve the first latte in about 2 to 3 weeks.

To alleviate any frustration, Mt. Gox are offering free tours of their back-office operations. Visitors are invited to tour their server farm located just next to the janitors closet on the third floor.

As a further offering, anybody buying coffee in the next week will receive a free Magic The Gathering trading card.

Subject: [Hptc-users-list] Policy statement on crypto currency mining and personal for profit campaigns.

Dear all,

I really hate having to send notes like this to our community -
especially one as smart, gifted and talented as you all are, but
anyway here goes...


Yesterday we were alerted to an unfortunate situation by one of our
community members using the Odyssey cluster who spotted an anomaly
with a set of compute nodes.

Long story short, a "dogecoin" (bitcoin derivative) mining operation
had been set up on the Odyssey cluster consuming significant resources
in order to participate in a mining contest.

I do want to also quickly state that Research Computing does not
inspect, examine or look at algorithms and codes that are executing on
the cluster, we respect your science and assume we are all good
citizens. However, in the course of business, or as happened
yesterday, if we are alerted to unexpected behavior we always
investigate the cause of any issue.

So, to put this simply:

Odyssey and Research Computing resources can not be used for any
personal or private gain or any non research related activity.

Accordingly, any participation in "Klondike" style digital mining
operations or contests for profit requiring Harvard owned assets to
examine digital currency key strength and length are strictly
prohibited for fairly obvious reasons. In fact, any activities using
our shared resources for any non scientific purpose that results or
does not actually result in personal gain are also clearly and
explicitly denied.

As a result, and as guidance and as warning to you all, I do need to
say that the individual involved in this particular operation no
longer has access to any and all research computing facilities on a
fully permanent basis.

Don't let this happen to you.

Best,

j.
