From WSJ:
James Howells, an IT worker in Newport, Wales, lost 7,500 bitcoin he mined in 2009 after a hard drive with his private key was accidentally thrown away.

I'm sure it didn't affect his dating life. Sheep don't care about digital currencies!

Oh, it has nothing to do with that. I assure you that it applies to black sheep as well as white...

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

There's going to be a whole new tech created for storing your cryptocurrency keys securely, and a whole new malware tech created to break that security, and a whole new tech created to prevent malware from breaking that security.
Sometimes I think the point of technology is to create a problem that didn't exist, solve those problems with new problems that never existed, and basically keep us (developers and users) from doing anything real and useful.
We don't need AI. We just need the I part.

Hi All,
Got an odd emails from Apple yesterday at 16:27 saying I had renewed my subscription to Netflix's via my iTunes account. All very offical looking, I was tipped off to it be a scam by three things...
1) I don't have a Netflix's account
2) I was addressed by my Email address rather the Dear Mr Patton
3) I haven't got an iTunes account
I looked over the email and the link for unsubscribe/cancel went to a site ending .edu while the rest all pointed at Apple. Very good all in all if I didn't have my email client set to reveal what the actual address it points to. If I was using a mobile device and panic reigned it looked offical enough to follow links. Gosh darn it beaware! Just remember family might not be that web savvy and using email/Skype to catch up with relatives...

How do you chill?
Neither do I, though I do have Amazon Prime

I chill by spending all the money I save by NOT having subscriptions to Netflix, Amazon, Sky and half a dozen other such services on things I actually want! Besides, there’s plenty of good stuff out there for free (some of ti even legal! ) eg on Walter Presents[^].. I refuse on principle to subscribe to such services – when (and I’m not holding my breath) they introduce reasonable PPV options I’ll think about it.

I get another Dave Auld's emails relating to;
Nat West Mortgage Account
Sky TV Sub
Various Clubs
because they have used a wrong gmail address.
I managed to unsubscribe from some of the easier ones, but just can't get the NatWest and Sky ones to stop! It makes for interesting reading, particular when they were behind with payments a couple of times!
