Job Description Hey Honey Badgers– We are hiring full-time software engineers for a stealth-mode Bitcoin technology startup that is highly disruptive, recently-launched, fully seed round funded with investors already lined up for a multi-million dollar Series A, and has multi-billion d…omers. Truly interested in giving our customers a great experience and able to write to customers directly in the event that a support ticket gets assigned to you (but you will not be asked to perform level 1 tech support) Detailed understanding of databases and scaling characteristics

I noted in my forthcoming profile of Cody Wilson, founder of "Defense Distributed" and promotional father of 3D-printed weapons, in the December issue of Reason (subscribe today!), he seemed even more interested in Bitcoins as a means of destabilizaing the state than in 3D printed weap…g” transactions to the Bitcoin network from a tell-tale IP address.

This is not yet another article by a crazed libertarian and Cryptonomicon fan on the miracle effects of digital currencies. Instead, I look at the crazy economics and absurdly steep capacity and t…rtually obsoleted between the time of its sale and its delivery 3 months later. Every three months one has to reduce his production costs by a factor of 10, in a business where cost reduction basically means throwing out all one’s existing capital assets and buying expensive new stuff.

When you create a transaction and broadcast it to the network it is possible a group of well connected nodes could identify you as the owner of that transaction and therefore as the owner of a particular address. The theory is if you connected to every node on the network then the firs…requently they are the probable owner. I run 3 nodes each connected to ~1000 nodes, it is estimated that there are around 30, 000 active bitcoin nodes at any one time so I am only connected to a small %. Someone with more resources can (and may already) be doing this on a larger scale.
