potentially every human will be as dead as those killed by Polio

Everyone would be dead so there wouldn't be anyone left to care.

Yep, a lot of us have gotten those. There is also another one that starts "1Sochi..."

Transparent Bitcoin Ponzi scheme

Connect to the camera using wifi and you can control it with a much more user friendly app (from Gopro) on your phone.

Forget the title, thanks for posting, it is the first I've heard of this. I moved off Gox in December and transferred my BTC to cold storage (paper wallets). I really recommend looking into doing something like that, it makes it easier to sleep at night. Hope you get the rest of your money out :)

I'm not sure it's a lack of talent but rather unfamiliarity with Litecoin/Dogecoin's code base.

Charles Lee and Sunny King, two very talented developers, both made similar mistakes when they started their coins. In Charles Lee's case, be had to scrap his first coin (Fairbrix) and start over with Litecoin.

Regulation of transactions between individuals and vendors for example is not reasonable.

I'm not so sure. I think some regulation to catch tax cheats is inevitable. Whether that's desirable or not depends on one's political point of view.

Before Charles Lee started Litecoin he created Fairbrix, a re-branded and tweaked version of Tenebrix. If you know anything about what happened to Fairbrix it is clear he was learning on the job (not a "competent dev" by your standards). Looking down your nose at Dogecoin's devs because they are still learning the codebase is pretty hypocriticial.

Did you or warren bother to submit a bug report? You know, what would be normal behavior with any other open source project?

It doesn't sound like the protestors were violent in this case. All they did was distribute leaflets outside someone's home. Obviously it was not a lot of fun for the engineer who was targeted.

Unfortunately, it's really FreeTrade who hires you. He has more than 9% of all the coins in existence and as a result plays kingmaker when it comes to voting and who is hired. At one point he abused the system, using ~47,000 coins donated to charity to give himself even greater control over elections. To his credit, he stopped once others discovered what he was doing.

... of course as a former Memeorycoin (MMC) officer/candidate, you already know all of this. You're just here hoping to do a little astroturfing.

About a billion coins are being added per day. That will change 2 weeks from now when the block reward halves. What's kind of interesting about Dogecoin is that there are so many people mining it. The rapid rate at which coins are being released combined with the large number of miners means that currently the top 100 addresses only hold 36.9% of all coins, the lowest concentration of wealth of any altcoin by a wide margin.
