Naughty Bits - Sexy Bitcoin "News" Show
Hello everyone! I just posted the first episode of my new bitcoin "news" show where I talk about things that I think are sexy in the world of bitcoin!
The show isn't really intended to be informative or educational, just fun! Hopefully the show will get people excited about bitcoin!
So I did 2 versions of the show, an uncensored version for my Pornhub channel, and a comically-censored version for YouTube! Both are pretty NSFW:
Pornhub: http://www.pornhub.c...p?viewkey=1683533477
YouTube: https://www.youtube..../watch?v=CwTCgvCAz80
Here are the things that I thought were sexy in this episode:
PayPal Accepting Bitcoin through Braintree: http://www.theguardi...ree-overstock-reddit
CoinKite's new Nym service: http://blog.coinkite...ayment-pages-for-all
The OpenBazaar Beta: /r/OpenBazaar
Bazaar Markets : /r/BazaarMarkets
I'd love to hear what you guys think is sexy in the world of bitcoin so I can talk about it next time!
The show is free and always will be, but donations are always appreciated!

is there any other option?
I want to create my own standalone programs that automate webpages and secure them with password so that the source won't be visible! and sell them!

I've done a lot of web automation in the past using Visual Studio. I don't know if that's an option for you. There are a few tricks that you need to know to get things smooth, but it does work.-Renegade (September 02, 2014, 08:43 AM)

Tim Cook announced Tuesday the release of Apple’s long-rumored watch, the latest in wearable technology. Here are some features of the new device:
- 13-megapixel camera enables users to take crystal-clear pictures of wrist
- Allows wearers to start and stop the flow of time
- Discreet, but not so discreet that anyone would mistake it for a regular watch
- Comes in a variety of colors and styles to express your personal submission to the planet’s dominant tech company
- Adjustable ticking volume
- All the convenience of a traditional watch that needs to be charged every 12 hours
- Built-in thinkpiece regarding the increased connectivity yet simultaneous isolation of the millennial generation
- Small size and intricate circuitry able to drive twice as many Chinese workers to suicide as iPhone
- Makes it easier for muggers to see whether or not you’re carrying an expensive electronic device
- Another screen to throw into your current rotation of things you look at
But apart from that... it's 'awesome'-panzer (September 11, 2014, 05:39 AM)
But... what if they aren't filming? They're trying to stop anyone from wearing/using them. Just because there is the 'possibility'. Just for one possible use. It's a device that can do a *lot* of things... and this one use is the one that they're trying to get the whole thing thrown away because of. And it's funny that most of the people on the other side of the issue, are those that are usually for the freedom.
Seems pretty simple to me. It takes an active use in a manner that offends/is an imposition to others before anyone else has a right to step in.-wraith808 (September 11, 2014, 07:08 AM)

I know someone that charges what works out to be about $0.83 per month ($10/year) for his smallest VPS package, that would give a lot better customer service than that, for free. (and yes, I already pointed Stephen in his direction) So, no, the price isn't that unrealistic.-app103 (September 10, 2014, 05:53 AM)
Everyone from professional photographers to Martha Stewart is using little quadcopter drones to take stunning landscape videos and aerial photographs. But if you’re a glass-half-empty type — or maybe just a shoot-that-drone-out-of-the-air type — there’s now a handy tech toy to defend you from unwanted surveillance.
An upcoming device called Cyborg Unplug will allow you to disrupt the connections of drones, Google glass, wireless microphones, and other devices to your WiFi connection. The project is led by Glasshole-hater Julian Oliver, and lists the dystopian ‘Stop the Cyborgs’ campaign as an inspiration and “conspirator.”
“Whether business office, restaurant, school or nightclub: it’s your territory and your rules, so make it harder for those that seek to abuse it,” the Cyborg Unplug site says.
The small device “sniffs the air” for the WiFi signatures of unwanted surveillance devices and automatically disconnects them from the network it’s assigned to protect. Cyborg Unplug will be up for sale in the $50 – $100 range on September 30. So far, it can’t interrupt Bluetooth connections, but they’re working on that.
Besides protecting your own network, the device also has an “All Out Mode” that can disconnect unwanted devices in range from every network they’re connected to, including tethered cellphones.
The trouble is, this is totally illegal in America. In the FCC’s own, unambiguous words:
We remind and warn consumers that it is a violation of federal law to use a cell jammer or similar devices that intentionally block, jam, or interfere with authorized radio communications such as cell phones, police radar, GPS, and Wi-Fi.
On the Cyborg Unplug site, they absolve themselves of all responsibility should you run into trouble with the law.
“We take no responsibility for the trouble you get yourself into if you choose to deploy your Cyborg Unplug in this mode,” the site says.
Drones? They’ve got your back. But when it comes to the Feds, you’re on your own.
Cyborg Unplug is a wireless anti-surveillance system for the home and workplace. 'Plug to Unplug', it detects and kicks devices known to pose a risk to personal privacy from your local wireless network, breaking uploads and streams. Detected devices currently include: Google Glass, Dropcam, small drones/copters, wireless 'spy' microphones and various other network-dependent surveillance devices.
...
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Every wireless (WiFi) device has a unique hardware signature assigned to it by the manufacturer. These signatures are broadcasted by wireless devices as they probe for, connect to and use wireless networks.
Cyborg Unplug sniffs the air for these signatures, looking for devices its owner has selected to ban. If a banned device is discovered an alarm is triggered (LED, audio or message*). Further, if that device is found to be connected to a network that Cyborg Unplug is trained to guard, a stream of special 'de-authentication' signals (packets) are sent to disconnect it. It does this automatically, without any interaction required from its owner.
* Due to technical limitations, alarm features may be restricted to the high-priced model.
IS THIS LEGAL?
It is perfectly legal to block certain devices from using a network you control and administer. Some wireless routers allow an administrator to create blacklists, although generally they are limited to specific devices rather than an entire product. Cyborg Unplug is just as legal, differing only in that it takes a 'direct action' approach to wireless defense: a detect-and-disconnect routine, alarm system and an automatically updated list of devices able to be banned. Please see CAN IT BE USED TO DISCONNECT DEVICES FROM ANY NETWORK? below for more information.
IS THIS A JAMMER?
No, not in any stretch of the word. A jammer disrupts all signal within a given (radio) band by flooding it with noise. Cyborg Unplug does not do this. Rather, it detects and targets a specific device and disconnects (only) it in turn by sending the same, legal, de-authentication packets a router sends when it disconnects a device.
...
CAN IT BE USED TO DISCONNECT DEVICES FROM ANY NETWORK?
In short yes. But be sure to read on to understand the implications...
Cyborg Unplug can be operated in two modes. The recommended mode is Territory Mode, disconnecting target devices from selected network(s) owned and operated by the user. The other mode is All Out Mode, which disconnects all detected target devices from any network they are associated with, including paired connections with smartphones. Please note that this latter mode may not be legal within your jurisdiction. We take no responsibility for the trouble you get yourself into if you choose to deploy your Cyborg Unplug in this mode.
At this stage, I suspect this is a combination of pure incompetence, and an unwillingness to let go of the ideal of having gmail and g+ and YT using the same name.-tomos (September 09, 2014, 12:48 PM)
