I curate a collection called "About Data". You have no idea what kind of submissions I get. They need to clean up the site already, too easy to start spamming collections and post links out there.


Great long and transparent post by Hana.


It would be easy to sell 1,000,000 BTC without anyone noticing. It's only 100 BTC per minute for a week.


The combined 30 day volume of the five exchanges on the homepage of http://bitcoincharts.com/ is about 140 bitcoins per minute. Adding 100 per minute all on the sell side would be a 70% increase in volume, and there would not be a corresponding buy interest added until the price of bitcoin fell considerably. This would reduce the value of the bitcoins.


Thanks for sharing, added to my queue.


A framework for effecient data analysis.



Thanks for your reply. I don't want to start a company there, at least not yet. I want to work for someone there; something along the lines of a temporary worker (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who.asp) or even a federal skilled worker(http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp). The processing time for an FSW is about 19 months, too long for a typical employer to wait.


That was another issue that they corrected a while ago. I hope they also correct this one.


Me and my wife are really pissed when it happens. Decided to post this to let them know how it sucks.


Thanks for the tip!


It goes beyond those who read the post. Some people asked their friends on Twitter and came back with an answer. Others found the information on crowd sourced websites.
