(The screencast shows some features that I’ve temporarily disabled from the live version, so watching the entire screencast will give you a better understanding of the app.)

Here’s some of my favorite Techzing clips:

As to more important matters….I’m emotionally Gox’d as I wait for your next episode. Neither my imagination of the “best” case — Jason is busy with billionaires, Justin is busy preparing for the IPO of digedu — or the mundane case — Jason is busy with Uber (btw, nice shoutout to “God view” by Travis in his Launch conference keynote via YouTube), Justin is crushing digedu bugs with the same vigor as the pre-digedu education system crushed students’ futures — gives me solace.

I hope you create a new episode soon…else, in the meantime I hope you create some new clips on BitsBeenSaid. 🙂

Last thing…I’ve been with Techzing since the beginning, I’ve commented from time to time (and bugged Justin via email once, too)….and it’s hard for me to convey how much it means to me to finally have something to input in the comments field for: “Website”. You both have been a huge inspiration. Thank you.

I don’t know if you’ve seen it before but I was very impressed to see TechZing included as a source (three times!). In chapter 4 a section on Jessica Mah of inDinero uses quotes from two different TechZing interviews and in chapter 5 there’s a long section based on the interview with Patrick Collison of Stripe.

The book is good so far but there’s been a lot of reference to some of PG’s essays I’d already read.

And congratulations to Justin and Georgie, really good to hear the news!

@Jason & Justin….kudos to you both for having engendered such a great Techzing community. The number of comments to this episode that responded to Justin’s news of their pregnancy exceeds the number of comments that responded to Jason’s news of meeting with billionaires by a factor of…..well, by a factor of some number that Colby can surely calculate quicker and more accurately than I.

Wouldn’t be a bad idea to advertise wallet addresses for a few of the major currencies anyway, if you guys believe in cryptocurrencies, ditch paypal and take donations that way.

Something cool happened today. I used Uber when I was leaving a bitcoin conference and on the way convinced the driver to give bitcoin a try (using a mobile wallet app). I feel like I should be picking up lots of internet hipster points from somewhere right now…

I’ve listened to every episode. Thanks for being there all this time. I look forward to you guys veering even further off topic into an education and hothousing show once the baby is here. I’m hoping for eighteen years of episodes ahead following Baby X all the way to college :-).

I highly suggest reading the above. I don’t agree with it all but mostly it seems right to me. Dogecoin has the potential to be the new litecoin and possibly the new bitcoin. Especially with all of the activity taking place.

Be sure to have a look at http://reddit.com/r/dogecoin/ as well. The community is VERY active, enthusiastic and generous. They are spending the coins making doge more of a currency and less a value store.

I have a 6 month old baby girl so I am excited on your behalf.

An Italian buddy of mine told me “It will be a hundred times harder than you expect but a thousand times more rewarding”. There is some truth to that, I am sure you will love being a dad.

I hope you guys are having a TechZing dinner / lunch / get together at this year’s Microconf, I would love to attend.

Cheers
Sam

I can’t remember now but a few weeks ago you made a comment in the show that made me think that maybe Georgie was pregnant.
By the way, I’m with Jason here, I don’t like saying “we are” pregnant, I don’t quite know why but it doesn’t sound right.

Well that’s great, means more kid talk in the show! I’ve been enjoying it a lot more since my daughter was born.

@Ben … So… our big investment opportunity is dogecoin… this is the time that I can justifiably say “the world is going to hell in a hand basket!”

“I was very tired”

You’ll know what tired means in a couple of months time 🙂

I will be that guy getting picky about bitcoin 🙂 Each of the “bitcoin” clones are actually their own network. As far as I am aware they have no communication between each network in any form. Its also why each one’s blockchain is so different in size. Also the difference between bitcoin and litecoin (and its clones, such as dogecoin) is the proof of work algorithm they use to verify transactions. Bitcoin uses SHA256 (hence you are seeing lots of ASIC devices) whereas litecoin uses Scrypt, which is more ASIC resistant (although ASIC is starting to come out for them as well).

Most of the coins fall into those two groups, either SHA256 or Scrypt. Two coins that I know of that are slightly different are Primecoin and Vertcoin. Primecoin calculates primes as its proof of work algorithm, so its output is vaguely useful to anyone studying prime numbers. Its also the only coin that I am aware of that can only be mined by CPU. This makes it popular to run on botnets and spot instances in the cloud as you don’t need a GPU. Vertcoin by difference uses Scrypt, but a modified version which is supposed to be very resistant to ASIC mining, presumably by using even more memory then Scrypt.

I think both of you would be wise to actually have a look at dogecoin. The community has gotten more traction then litecoin has in 2 months and is catching up to bitcoin at a staggering rate. Once you get past the meme (which makes it easier to get into I guess?) there is a lot to like and its certainly gaining a lot of a adoption. Lastly its about to have its first block rate halving soon, so now is probably a good chance to pick some up before the price doubles again.

Congratulations on the baby to you and your wife, Justin.
