A buddy and I created http://bitcoinsimplified.org to try to solve that problem.

Mormons believe that the fastest and best improvements to the quality of life of an individual come through conversion to the church. That being said, the LDS church in general does a lot of humanitarian aid and Mormon missionaries in particular spend significant chunks of time engaged in charitable service.
Source: I served a mission in NYC and we spent plenty of time at soup kitchens, food pantries, and just helping out anyone who needed a hand.
Edit: link to humanitarian aid info: http://mormon.org/values/humanitarian-aid

> “If this is done correctly, an organization can get to a person who is having personal issues or problems that if not addressed by a variety of social means may lead that individual to violence, theft or espionage before it even gets to that point,” said a senior Pentagon official, who requested anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the issue publicly.
Looks like there's some senior Pentagon officials who have a peer they can snitch on.

This sort of change would only be necessary if the value of a bitcoin grows significantly making today's dust into tomorrow's crumbs. I don't generally pick up pennies, but I've never ignored a dollar before.

It's non-trivial, but further division of bitcoins is possible to implement and would likely be accepted by the network if it was in the best interest of the currency.

There are many reasons why kids get bullied. There is no unified theory of bullying that explains it all.
For years I thought I was picked on because I was smarter than my peers. Looking back, it seems more likely that I was really kind of a brat about getting better scores on things. There were plenty of smart kids at my school who didn't get picked on.

By May 2011 when the form was filled out, Mt. Gox had already pivoted to bitcoin.

> If you can't transfer your cash to Bitcoin, or your Bitcoin to cash, then the decentralized nature of Bitcoin itself is immaterial.
Unless you can turn your bitcoins into goods and services.

> "800 officers who reached speeds of 90-130 mph"
Technically, couldn't this be 799 guys who meant to go 85 but drifted up to 90 and one jerk who went 130?

thanks for the reply. I always have bitcoinity open. (dark theme FTW).
The answer to the question I was trying to ask is https://coinbase.com/network/blocks which enables me to check in on how far behind the future legitimate blockchain is (7 blocks at time of writing).
