  • Abstract
    Just because a new algorithm solves one kind of problem doesn´t mean that it can solve them all. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/6Kvjd9UeMOU is a video in which author David Alan Grier expands on his Errant Hashtag column, discussing the problem of trust as it relates to Bitcoin´s payment mechanism transactions.
