My Camera Ate My Video… Here’s the Scraps.

So I just got back from the Bitcoin 2013 Conference in San Jose a couple days ago and when I sat down to edit together all the video I shot… Most of it was gone! I’m still trying to figure out if it was the camera, SD card or simply operator error, but sadly little […]

Bitcoin Conference 2013: Day 3

As day 3 in San Jose draws to an end, I find myself wishing for a day 4, 5 and beyond. This long weekend has been the absolute best part of my year thus far and I can’t wait to do it again next year and every year thereafter for as long as they keep […]

Bitcoin 2013 Conference: Day 2

Where day 1 of the Bitcoin 2013 Conference was short and marked by a brutal slog through choking crowds day 2 was an educational and often entertaining experience marked by a lot of sitting and listening punctuated by brief slightly-less-brutal slogs through those same choking crowds. The day began on a pretty awesome note: I […]

Bitcoin 2013 Conference: Day 1

First, apologies for the extreme lateness and likely incoherence of this post. It’s been a very long day and now that I’ve reached its end I kind of want to soak my aching feet and crawl into bed. That said, I wouldn’t trade the aches and exhaustion for anything in the world right now. The […]

Bitcoin GitHub History Visualized Sept 15 2012

Once again, I used the open-source version control visualization software Gource (http://bit.ly/t8uJXJ) to visualize the history of Bitcoin from day 1 to present. This is similar to the last video – http://bit.ly/105vNNK; – but up to date and with different (I think better) music. Music is “As Colorful As Ever” by Broke For Free – […]

New Minimum Transaction Size: Cutting Through The Hype

There is a lot of drama right now over a modification to the standard Bitcoin client code that is about to take effect: a minimum transaction size. Those against the change say that it violates the core concepts of Bitcoin while others see it as a necessary sacrifice. What’s the reality behind all the spin? […]

For those not familiar, Khan Academy started out as a series of YouTube videos that one teacher did to help struggling kids in his […]

BFL Bitcoin ASIC Teardown

The day is here! Nathan from Syn Shop, Las Vegas’ local hackerspace, helps me disassemble BFL’s fancy new ASIC miner. I see a bunch of chips and capacitors, he sees a lot more. Of course the one downside to filming in an active hackerspace is it can be a bit noisy, so please forgive the […]
