juggledean writes: Craig Wright, a computer scientist who claims to be the inventor of Bitcoin, prevailed in a civil trial verdict Monday against the family of a deceased business partner, who claimed he was owed half of a cryptocurrency fortune worth tens of billions.

During the trial, both Wright and other cryptocurrency experts testified under oath that Wright owns the Bitcoins in question. Wright said he would prove his ownership if he were to win at trial.

Wright has said he plans to donate much of the Bitcoin fortune to charity if he were to win at trial. In an interview, Wright’s lawyer Rivero reconfirmed Wright’s plans to donate much of his Bitcoin fortune.

Submission + - SPAM: Bitcon on Trial

juggledean writes: One man claims he founded bitcoin and now the family of another man says he wasn’t alone in doing so, and it’s turned into a trial playing out in Miami.

It’s being called bitcoin’s trial of the century, and ultimately this multi-billion dollar case is about whether or not the man who claims to have founded bitcoin had a partner. A Miami federal judge could order 1.1 million bitcoins to be split in half — a move that would rock the crypto market. If a judge orders the bitcoins to be split in half, and they are actually moved, the price of bitcoin could plummet. "The second a coin moves, it proves your coins are not safe," Wuckhert said. "It would be the largest crash in bitcoin history."

This particular study was looking for transgenerational effecta and not at the direct effects due to exposure. I am confident there are and will be more study of the latter. Interestingly seven of the authors have Kyiv, Ukranian addresses

The phrase "these United States" has been used only rarely, at least in the publications scanned by google, and much more Post-Civil war than before. There is a curious spike in 1983.

I did the upgrade and received the notice that it won't work on my 10.4.11 Mac. Mozilla could have checked the useragent and known it wouldn't work and they could have posted something on the download page to tell me it wouldn't work but they didn't, until after I installed it.

Installation removed my working FF3.6.24. I backed it up but, for some reason, I can't move it back into the Applications folder. sudo cp -r {source} /Applications doesn't change the Applications directory.

So know I'm using Safari and lost all the plugins.

Does anyone know a way to go back to 3.6? I'm otherwise happy with the 10.4 macos.
