Why the gently caress would you get one with your private key on the obverse.

so you could take pictures of each side, and use those instead of your $25 block of wood

haha nevermind it turns out they're yet another failed bitcoin business

TL DR; Life got in the way and we will not able to work on Woodwallets.io with the same level of passion and dedication we used to. Instead of just running it like a boring online shop, we decided to suspend operations. If you happen to know someone who can be interested in picking up the business and run it with passion, get in touch. Bitcoin accepted.
oh, that's tragic

Silk Road coder turned dealer turned informant gets five years

quote:

Sadler pleaded guilty to selling nearly a million dollars of narcotics on the now-shuttered Silk Road online bazaar and was given the jail term as well as four years' probation

After his arrest, Sadler worked with the authorities until the arrest a few months later of Ross Ulbricht, who has been charged and later found guilty of being in charge of the website under the pseudonym Dread Pirate Roberts.

quote:

"He blew through all that money using drugs and going to strip clubs," said his attorney Michael Filipovic, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports.

Sadler had been making a good living as a computer programmer for many years, pulling in an annual salary of $180,000, the court was told. But three years ago he began to use drugs heavily and turned to the Silk Road to fund his habits and became one of the top one per cent of dealers on the site.

$180k per year and stay out of jail or a million over three years and five years in jail? Tough call.

don't bother asking yourself why the new york times sent maureen dowd to sxsw, but they did

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/22/opinion/sunday/maureen-dowd-whats-new-pussycat-meerkat.html posted:

At a Marie Claire dinner for “Veep” at The Spotify House, I asked Tyler Winklevoss, who is developing a stock market for Bitcoin with his twin brother, to explain the invisible currency.

“Bitcoin is Internet money,” he said. “It’s a value transfer protocol.”

When I asked about the nefarious Bitcoin transactions in the Internet netherworld, Winklevoss protested: “People use cash every second of the day to do illegal things. Bitcoin is traceable and cash is anonymous.”

If Toby deigned to accept the Marie Claire invitation, he no doubt would interpolate: “Bitcoin more transparent? Balderdash! We don’t even know who invented it. It’s Disney dollars for tech nerds.”

what the gently caress motivates people like this to do this? he lives in a nice city, makes six figures at a job he probably loves and probably has the resources to get help without him going bankrupt

I could understand doing this poo poo if your scraping by and have no other options in a lovely town that doesn't care but this guy?

[–]empire314 3 points 35 minutes ago

Mount everest is 8800 meters tall and the climbing does not get difficult until 7500 meters. Going to 5000meters altitude base camp which is accessable by car, and calling it "almost the top" is an insult to everyone who has actually climbed the mountain

Wow, getting to the base camps is such a feat of athleticism! I remember when I went, it took a lot of work finding a driver, then calling the driver, then taking the drive through the scenic countryside, and eventually having to take the very dangerous step of paying the driver. And this was on the Tibetan side, so I'm sure there are dangers on the Nepal side that don't even compare. Do they even have butter tea there, the savages??
