Thanks. I do remember using that one or one similar in maybe Fall of that year. I believe the first ones actually downloaded the entire Blockchain which was maybe a gig or two at the time. The one I had became unwieldy enough that I eventually just uninstalled it.

My accountant did not think it qualified as capital gains. I guess the IRS has a specific designation for what can be considered for that.

Speaking as a sometimes paranoid libertarian with a reasonable amount of Bitcoin, myself, I can say the two things preventing me from cashing out of any portion of it is the likelihood I would be identified and the fact that any sales of it I have to pay taxes on. I purchased a house this year that I could have afforded several times over in Bitcoin, but instead took out a loan just like anyone else.

What cellphone app allowed you to buy and sell Bitcoins in July 2011? I didn't think QR codes were regularly used till late 2011/early 2012.

It also uses "robbery" in a really unbusiness-like way. Still, there's only a few things here and there that are kind of out-of-line, and might be of the sort I'd expect for a intended-to-be-internal document.
Re:6.5 Million LinkedIn Password Hashes Leaked

I'm thinking this list is from closer to a year ago, I changed my password shortly after the MtGox hack last year and this hash is for my old password that was compromised during that time period.
Re:Will QR Codes Gain Mass Adoption?

QR codes or something like it will eventually be the way Dwolla and Paypal do mobile-to-mobile transactions. I've thought of a mock up of just using ONLY QR-like codes to transfer money between two people in the same room, it would be fast and easy and assuming you used your Dwolla pin as you confirmed the amount you were spending/charging, it would work perfectly.
