Marty's Ƀent Issue #798: To self verify, simply run the numbers None of this makes sense or is worthwhile if individuals can't verify blockchain data for themselves. One must be able to run the numbers.

Marty's Ƀent Issue #330: Mesh networks are cool The actual tidbits of information that matter in the long-run because they, combined, will help mold Bitcoin into the multi-trillion dollar economic system that we envision it could potentially become.
