Bitcoin Update

Apparently setting up an alternative monetary system is not so easy. See this update on Bitcoin, and my earlier post.

Note: I had previously linked to David Andolfatto's blog, but it looks like that is defunct.

  1. The link to Andolfatto takes you to a page that says he's removed the blog. Thought you might want to be made aware.

  2. Interesting. I'll have to ask Andolfatto what is going on the next time I see him.

  3. I have no idea what happened to my beloved blog. I think maybe I'll move it elsewhere. Anyone have a good idea as to where?

  4. What do you mean you have no idea? It's your blog. You must know why it disappeared.

  5. David, did you perhaps violate Blogger's Terms of Service? I mean it's fine to criticise Krugman, but if you urged your readers to poison his cat you are liable to be shut down.

  6. Reminder to self: Keep Andolfatto away from my cat.

  7. My last post simply recommended that Sargent start a blog with the title "Conscience of a Scientist."

    I guess that killed the cat.

  8. "As far as I’m concerned, it is open season on Krugman’s cat."

  9. Thanks. That is very funny. Krugman's cat (though there actually 2 of them, apparently) does actually have a superior air about it. If you know cats, though, that's just the way they are. A dog is always your friend. Sometimes the cat likes you. Sometimes it doesn't.
