remove the coins and all the LCO's and what do you have left? A workable, functional verification system. Bitcoin's hash id is verified NSA issued and started in '09 on an exchange owned by the rothy's-Mt. Gox.
It also began it's crash shortly after the E.O signed to confiscate asset's was issued. That not a coincidence.
The funniest thing about litecoin is that bix weir actually thought getting a 'blessing' from the U.N. was a good thing. Total cognitive dissonance on an otherwise decent body of work regarding the silver stuff he has done. Knew a lot about it before he came on to the scene but also have learned a few things too.
I tried to get a copy of the re-issue of the original roota comic book that came out in early 2007. There were musings about the boston fed hiring graphics people and illustrators in mid 2006. They announced it on a sunday and by the time we (belonged to a few trying to be private groups-but know now they were not) got our requests in it was to late.
Puerto Rico governor will not seek re-election after leaked chat messages
Puerto Rico’s governor said on Sunday he would not seek re-election next year and would step down as head of his party following nine days of sometimes violent protests demanding his resignation over vulgar chat messages.
A day before a planned general strike and more demonstrations in the U.S. island territory, Ricardo Rossello said he respected the wishes of Puerto Ricans and would not run for another term in 2020 elections.
He also said he would resign as head of his New Progressive Party but would remain as governor until the end of his term.
“I know that apologizing is not enough. It is only my work that will help restore the confidence of those sectors on the way to true reconciliation,” Rossello said in a Facebook Live video.
In the online chats published on July 13, the center-right governor and his allies referred to politicians, celebrities and ordinary Puerto Ricans in misogynistic, homophobic and vulgar terms.
Anger over the messages has tapped into simmering resentment over Rossello’s handling of devastating 2017 hurricanes, allegations of corruption in his administration and the island’s fragile recovery from bankruptcy.
Puerto Rico’s non-voting representative to the U.S. Congress, as well as Democratic presidential candidates and some Republican lawmakers have demanded he step down over the leaked messages.
The speaker of Puerto Rico’s House of Representatives set up an independent panel on Friday to investigate whether the chats constituted crimes or warranted impeachment. He gave the panel 10 days to deliver their findings.
“I have to respect the constitutional order and welcome the process started by the legislative assembly, which I will confront with all truth and force in a responsible way,” Rossello said in the video.

Some in Bitcoin group resign over new board member’s link to sex abuse
Brock Pierce haunted by accusations dating to 1999. He says they're "not true."
The Bitcoin Foundation, a trade group composed of hundreds of individuals and companies involved in the cryptocurrency’s promotion, has been hit with at least a dozen resignations in the wake of the election of a new controversial board member. The board is the most public face of Bitcoin and acts as the governing body for the Bitcoin Foundation, making executive decisions on behalf of its members.
Last Friday, American entrepreneur Brock Pierce was elected as one of two new board members to the body, which now comprises seven people, recently expanded from five.
Fifteen years ago, Pierce cofounded a Southern California startup called Digital Entertainment Network. Despite raising tens of millions in venture capital, that company eventually went under. Not long before the company was slated to have its initial public offering in 1999, Pierce and two other cofounders were named in two civil lawsuits alleging sexual abuse of underage boys. Pierce was never charged criminally.
One of those cofounders, Marc Collins-Rector, is now a convicted sex offender, having pleaded guilty to related charges in two states.
Pierce also did not respond to a 2013 civil lawsuit filed against him by UBS Bank for having run up an unpaid credit card bill of over $120,000. UBS won that lawsuit in November 2013 by default.
Neither the Bitcoin Foundation nor Pierce immediately responded to Ars’ request for comment.
However, Pierce told Reuters, "The allegations against me are not true, and I have never had intimate or sexual contact with any of the people who made those allegations.”
Pierce is also one of the leaders of a new firm, Sunlot Holdings Limited, which has moved to buy the beleaguered Mt. Gox. The once-largest Bitcoin exchange collapsed earlier this year and has filed for bankruptcy protection in Japan and the United States. Pierce is most famous for having been a child actor in The Mighty Ducks film series. In subsequent years, he became involved in a number of tech startups, including Internet Gaming Entertainment.
Lawsuits continue
According to the Los Angeles Times, Marc Collins-Rector was forced to leave the company after a lawsuit accused him of molesting a New Jersey teenage boy, which he denied. By October 1999, Collins-Rector settled the case. Chad Shackley, another cofounder along with Collins-Rector and Brock Pierce, subsequently left the company. (Shackley lived with Collins-Rector since dropping out of high school.)
After the settlement, Collins-Rector, Shackley, and Pierce fled to Spain as a second set of victims filed another lawsuit in California against the three alleging sexual abuse. The three men never responded to the case, and a judge awarded a default judgment and $4.5 million in damages.
In 2000, a federal prosecutor in New Jersey brought further criminal charges against Collins-Rector on five counts of transporting a minor across state lines for illegal sexual activity—but he was already out of the country.
The three were arrested in Spain in 2002 and Collins-Rector was extradited to the United States. Federal prosecutors in Los Angeles brought new criminal charges against Collins-Rector in 2004. Although they were named in the original New Jersey civil lawsuit, Shackley and Pierce were never charged.
According to the Times, by 2006 Collins-Rector pleaded guilty in both cases and was sentenced to time served plus three years of supervised release. As of 2008, Collins-Rector listed his place of residence as the Dominican Republic on the Florida sexual offender registry.
More recently, the California man who brought the civil suit against Collins-Rector, Shackley, and Pierce has come forward as Michael Egan, now aged 31.
In April 2014, Egan brought a new lawsuit against four men, including X-Men Director Bryan Singer and three Hollywood executives, alleging that he was coerced to have sex with them at Collins-Rector and Shackley’s estate 15 years ago and on a private estate in Hawaii. All four men have denied the accusations.
