[Searching for a video]

 

Is it this one?

["Keep the f*ing candy"]

That's OK, thanks for looking. Maybe someone else listened to that podast recently and can let us know.

["Keep the f*ing candy"]

Are you sure it's in the public stream? Is it when he and the missus are on vacation in central america? Is it the one where he's talking to a listener about the value of the sort of office space, take the printer out into a field and crush it with a bat sort of thing?

-It's definitly not in the donator-sections, so yes.

-No I don't think so. Stef was alone on the bus (noone he knew) and pretty sleepy so he dozed off into these fantasies. He might be quite young and visited his dad.

-Crushing things with bats rings a bell, could be it.

 

Edit: And the essence of the conversation was that this fantasies and feelings weren't his rage, but his mother's, which applied to the listener's situation as well.

By the way, I am pretty good at finding FDR content. I've heard nearly every podcast and I have mad search skills, so I am game to help anyone find something from any show.

 

I'd love to give you a challenge :

There is an older podcast in which Stef mentions violent fantasies about his mother while he is on a bus in africa. I'm pretty sure that it was a conversation with a listener, but I might be wrong. Anyway that part really stuck with me and I would love to listen to the whole thing again. Searching for myself I only came up with FDR766, but that's not it. Maybe you have better luck

[The purpose of Bitcoin mining]

Can someone explain to a newb, what’s the point of mining for bitcoins? 

Well, to "decide" who gets the Bitcoins. 'Cause who would get the 21 Million Coins if they just appeared out of nowhere?

And it also gives people some time to get used to the currency.

 

But from what I can understand the mining is happening much faster than it was originally anticipated and within a couple of years the last coin will be mined.

Yes it is happening faster but that's ok, it will still last to the year 2100+. Bitcoin value per mined block (which is basically what you mine) gets halfed every 4 years (at least that's what the network tries to do, in reality it is like 3.5 years) starting at 50 Bitcoins for a block in 2009 to late 2012. Now it's at 25 per block and in 2016 it will drop to 12.5. Doing some math reveals that even the last "full" bitcoin will be mined in about 80 years and then there's still the 8 digits to go.
