 The Daily Bitcoin - Feature Friday! Episode 5 for April 12, 2013 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 37:21

If you enjoy the show, please vote us up on Reddit! We've had a number of people vote down and complain about this nearly 40 minute episode less than 20 minutes after I've uploaded it... http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1c98lk/the_daily_bitcoin_show_feature_friday_interview/ ----Editors Note This has been one heck of a week, this is our fifth show produced in five days and doing nearly all the technical work myself (Adam B. Levine) and then doing the shows as well has been quite a feat, but it's also been incredibly fun and absolutely exhilarating. Thank you VERY MUCH for listening to our brand new project, the enthusiastic response has led us to decide that this is a worthwhile format that we intend to continue for at least the rest of the year. The hosts may change at times (Eli is getting married and going on a honeymoon next month!) but the point is this: Complicated topics need explanation, and it's not a one-time conversation that provides the whole picture. Over the next few months we'll be improving the quality further and rolling out the Weekly show, I am actively looking for those who would like to be audio journalists to work with me on that project - If you are interested, please email me at adam@mindtomatter.org. You do not need experience, or technical expertise - You just need to believe that most media reporting is unacceptably poor quality, and have the want to change that for the better. If that's you, this is your opportunity - Don't miss out. To everyone, please share this with your friends and relatives and thank you for helping make The Daily Bitcoin show such a success in its first week. If you'd like to support what we're doing, please send tips to 17a9wVHHwmDo8pPfjsmgfpob72P9SNU9i5 - No amount is too small, we charge our advertisers (Two 30 second slots starting next week) in Bitcoin, and we pay our contractors in Bitcoin. it's working really really well so far even as the price has been all the heck over the place. Thank you for listening, Adam B. Levine Lead, The Daily Bitcoin Show SHOWNOTES: Feature Friday!

EPISODE 4 - APRIL 11, 2013 Concept of the day: Wallets Address, & Security Wallet A wallet is a container that stores both your receiving addresses (public) and spending (private) key Address An address is like the money clip in your pocket in that it gives you an easy, single place to store value that you might like to spend. When you’re not actively spending it, you keep it in a small transparent safe - You can see everything inside of it, but you can’t access the money kept in each money clip inside without the right key or combination. Once you use the right combination, the safe opens and you can access the value inside to use however you like. The lock on the safe is “Wallet Encryption” Wallet Encryption: Wallet encryption uses a scheme called “AES-256” to encrypt only the private keys that are held in a wallet. The keys are encrypted with a master key which is entirely random. Adam: What’s encryption? Paul: Encryption is a process of encoding messages or information in such a way that third parties cannot read it, but authorized parties can. This master key is then encrypted. Adam: What does a key look like? Paul: It’s not a physical key, more a random string of numbers and letters that you can access and use when you put in your correct password. At runtime, the client loads the wallet as it normally would, however the keys are stored in encrypted form. When the passphrase is required it will be asked for from the client, otherwise it must first be entered on the ‘command line’. When wallet passphrase encryption becomes enabled, any unused keys from the keypool are flushed and new keys protected with encryption are added. For this reason, make a new backup of your wallet so that you will be able to recover the keys from the new key pool should access to your backups be necessary. And lastly, ALWAYS use good ‘passwords’ as your passphrase! You are only as strong as your weakest link. NEWS 1. The Crash MTGOX is DOWN! (on purpose) What caused the crash? Is it like the crash of June 11? Stolen Bitcoins because of a malware on mtgox look-alike-site? 2. Libertarian Party (United States) now accepting bitcoin. 3. Bitcoin mining botnet has become one of the most prevalent cyber threats THE DAILY SCUTTLEBUTT ------------------------------------- 1.

Topics: MtGox - What’s up with the lags? -Mt. Gox had over 1 hour 15 minutes of lag today! This is just COMPLETELY unacceptable. Is Gox to blame for the crash? Are we going to ask/pose that question? Is gox buying at 140-149 to prevent the crash further? ? ASICs? I have spoke with multiple people at BFL. And I have “confirmations” that they exists. Scuttlebut 1. Israel Update: Right now it looks like most of it is just people panicking for not getting their coins, and there isn’t anything out of the ordinary going on. Just large transaction going overseas, so the banks are not happy with it. I really don’t think the banks are doing anything at this point, malice or not. 2. What are the top 3 BTC countries/services? Apparently USA is #1, with Germany #2... 3. How many coins on average do people own? -------------------- This show is work! We very much appreciate tips 1JUi85epQQkoMnTzhNaSgqY3eNu5qDp1i9
