As many of you know I recently spoke on the “Improving Ease of Use” panel at the Bitcoin 2013 conference in San Jose. While we’re still waiting for the professional videos to appear, amateur videos of the event have been slowly trickling in for some time now and one of my talk finally appeared on YouTube [...]
Fans of my blog will know that I’ve had a checkered past with most of the internet’s traditional monetization methods. AdSense cancels Bitcoiners’ accounts with haste and the Bitcoin-based advertising networks, frankly, suck. Most Bitcoin businesses don’t offer any kind of affiliate plans and cold-calling sponsors is a nightmare. Combine this with the fact that [...]
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 [...]

Hey everyone, not a full-blown article, I’m far too busy getting ready for the Bitcoin 2013 conference for that, but a quick update for those of you who have subscribed to me on YouTube: I finally bit the bullet and gave Coding In My Sleep its own YouTube channel. Of course a lot of you [...]
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? [...]
I’ve been saying for a long LONG time now that education is past due for a serious overhaul, and Khan Academy has been the front-runner in the race for education’s future. For those not familiar, Khan Academy started out as a series of YouTube videos that one teacher did to help struggling kids in his [...]
Well this took a lot longer than I expected. I’m certainly no stranger to a screwdriver but it’s been about a decade since I’ve wielded a soldering iron. I wanted to take the BFL ASIC apart on camera for you guys but I also wanted the commentary to be meaningful and while I’m not a [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, just a few minutes ago Butterfly Labs revealed what I believe is the first picture of their new ASIC Single Case. I’ve been privy to some renders but much like you this is my first time seeing the actual physical case.
