Haywain··on [dead]
You've got an appallingly pungent stench of douchiness about you.

I think he's right — just by reading the way you write, I can tell you're too full of yourself to even fathom the concept of working well with others.

Haywain··on Bitcoin sinks after exchange pauses withdrawals
Question: How easy is it for, say, a minority of large holders to stave off drops in value? For instance, if I am holding ~250k BTC and notice an oncoming sell-off, how easy would it be for me to trade back enough in order to reinstate confidence on an exchange?

Is it a viable enough scenario to make it plausible? I'm not a BTC holder, so I'm curious as to how easy the market is to "prop up" in short term panics like this.

You may be interested: The first time I clicked the link, it redirected. All subsequent clicks went directly to the image only.

Haywain··on Firefox 27 Released
Semi-related: I've been using the Nightly and have come to really enjoy Australis over the current UX/UI scheme in the other builds. To that end, I'm excited for Aurora to get boosted up to 29 and, hopefully, get Australis along with it.
Haywain··on iOS holding my phone number hostage = the worst bug I’ve ever experienced
This would also work if a friend lent him their phone.

Of course, he'd have to do a backup > wipe > setup phone with his iCloud account & SIM > change settings > wipe > restore from backup... but, honestly, this is the process I had to do and it took about 5-10 mins tops.

I had this same exact problem, and this was by far the easiest solution. Just need to have a friend willing to you let you manhandle their phone for a little while.
