Automatically solving the captchas for Bitcoin faucets - Video
If there was one word that could describe bitcoin over the past year, it would be 'unpredictable'. So, with that in mind and armed with 20/20 hindsight at year's end, it's fun to go back and look at all the people who tried to do just that.
Whether they prognosticated over the entrails of dead animals or defunct bitcoin exchanges, actual data or emotional investment, the results were perhaps unsurprisingly often far off the mark.
Alarge majority of bitcoin fortune-tellers focused on whether the price would go stratospheric or tank, but other more thoughtful commentatorslooked at otheraspects of the digital currency ecosystem, such as venture investment, politics, or emergence of alternative currencies.
Let's look at what the pundits predicted for bitcoin in 2014.
Toput thisyear's price projectionsinto context, they were made at a time whenbitcoin's price had risen from under $100 to over $1,000 in a matter of months. Bitcoin had just emerged from Silk Road's shadow, its critics found themselves on mute, and positive media coverage meant even non-technological family members were beginning to ask about bitcoin.
Rather than make predictions ourselves, CoinDesk outsourced the task to readers with a poll right as the new year rolled in, and one bitcoin was worth $775.
The result was that 56% of the 5,500 respondents expected bitcoin's price to hit $10,000 before the end of the year. 31%, however, thought this unlikely and 13% responded "WTF are you smokin'?"
A Bank of America Merrill Lynch report in December 2013 said the bitcoin price "will stabilize around $1,300 per coin very soon".
Jason Hamlin of GoldStockBullpenned ahopeful visionof $1,800 gold, a pardon for Edward Snowden and bitcoins for "$2,500 or higher" in 2014.
To be fair, not everyone who made a prediction about bitcoin in the past 12 months did so with a definite timeframe in mind, like the Winklevoss brothers' vision of a $400bn bitcoin market cap... someday.
Excerpt from:
You can now pick up some bitcoin with that bottle of soda and bag of chips at the store down the street.
LibertyX, a company that originally made and operated bitcoin vending kiosks, has expanded to let any store sell bitcoin for cash at the register, just like anything else they have in stock.
You hand over cash, you get a code, said Kyle Powers, co-founder of LibertyX, formerly known as Liberty Teller. A cashier gives the customer a pin number, which can be redeemed for bitcoin. LibertyX is working with 2,500 stores, mostly local businesses including convenience and computer stores, across the country in the obvious places Cambridge and San Francisco and some less obvious, such as Lowell and Missoula, Mont.
The move away from dedicated ATMs that sell bitcoin came from overwhelming demand, Powers said.
We had people driving for hours, Powers said. The whole thing was to reach areas that we couldnt otherwise.
The ATMs are still operational, including the one at South Station.
Were doing the same thing (as the ATMs), just cheaper, faster, more convenient, Powers said.
To help LibertyX expand, the company has raised a little more than $400,000 in private investment. Project 11, the venture capital firm headed by Katie Rae, Reed Sturtevant and Bob Mason, formerly of TechStars Boston, led the investment.
Powers said much has been made of bitcoins ups and downs, but he continues to have faith in the online currency.
Bitcoin is like gold, except the market is a thousand times younger he said. What were doing is a fundamental, foundational piece of the bitcoin ecosystem.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Headline and subhead of release should reference "Markers" instead of "Makers."
The corrected release reads:
PROVECTUS BIOPHARMACEUTICALS PROTOCOL FOR PHASE 2 STUDY OF MECHANISM OF ACTION OF PH-10 ON IMMUNOLOGIC MARKERS OF PSORIASIS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE
Study Will Assess Effects Of PH-10 On Immunologic Markers of Psoriasis
Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT:PVCT, http://www.pvct.com), a development-stage oncology and dermatology biopharmaceutical company ("Provectus"), announced today that the protocol for its phase 2 study of the mechanism of action of PH-10 in psoriasis is now available on ClinicalTrials.gov, Identifier NCT02322086: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02322086.
The protocol states that the multicenter study is designed to assess treated psoriatic plaque for changes in immunologic, structural and hyperproliferative state and for any evidence of cellular atypia when treated with PH-10 and to correlate observed changes in the skin with clinical response to treatment. These assessments are expected to advance the understanding of the mechanism of action of PH-10 in psoriasis and other inflammatory dermatoses, such as atopic dermatitis, and further substantiate the safety profile of the agent.
The study will enroll up to 30 subjects with mild to moderate plaque psoriasis. Subjects will apply vehicle daily for 28 consecutive days followed by active PH-10 daily for 28 consecutive days to their psoriatic plaques. Biopsies of one plaque will be collected at baseline and immediately after completion of vehicle application and PH-10 application. This will allow data from each subject to serve as an internal control for assessment of clinical and cellular response to PH-10. Biopsy specimens will be assessed for changes in epidermal hyperplasia (i.e., disordered condition of the skin creating thickening and scaling); infiltration with immune cells; and molecular markers of inflammation. Correlation of clinical response to these cellular and molecular changes will be performed at the plaque level using Psoriasis Severity Index (PSI) assessment data.
Safety will be assessed by monitoring the frequency, duration, severity and attribution of clinical adverse events; evaluating changes in laboratory values and vital signs; and by correlation of clinical adverse events with observed histopathologic and immunohistopathologic changes in the skin.
Eric Wachter, PhD, Chief Technology Officer of Provectus, noted, By capturing data at the clinical and cellular level, this study should allow us to establish how PH-10 affects psoriatic plaque and other similar inflammatory diseases of the skin, and to relate the safety profile from earlier studies to such effects. We believe that understanding these effects with this level of detail will allow us to properly position PH-10 within the competitive landscape and should provide crucial safety data to support extended dosing.
Dr. Wachter added, We expect this effort to provide a comparable level of understanding of the effects of PH-10 in diseased skin to the keen insight we have gained through our clinical and nonclinical mechanism studies of PV-10, Provectus novel investigational cancer drug, in melanoma and other cancers. Because there are no good model systems for psoriasis, we believe this study affords a critical opportunity to link the clinical effects we have observed to changes in well established immunologic drivers of the disease.

DALLAS We all get those aches and pains every once in a while. But for some folks, those nagging aches are a pain in the well, you know.
My pain is a variety of different type of pain, David Flory said. In certain parts of the knee, certain types of activities bother it. some dont. Some do.
He has had knee problems since high school and has had five knee surgeries throughout his life.
Now his doctors have told him he needs a total knee replacement, but like a lot of people, Flory didnt want to go through the long recovery time that comes with going under the knife.
So in order to do that, Flory found a doctors office that offers stem cell replacement therapy.
Stem Cells are the type of cells that replicate and become other cells that are used in most healing, said Dr. Bill Johnson with Innovations Medical.
Basically what the doc does is take the stem cells from fat stored on your body, then inject that into the joint. This type of stem cell therapy is still being researched. Dr. Johnson says so far, 85% of knee patients have seen improvement.
Thats improvement to the point where they dont require joint replacement, Dr. Johnson said.
Since the procedure is still in the investigational stage, it isnt covered by insurance and can get a little pricey up to $6,000.
With the investment Im making out-of-pocket, Im hopeful what were doing today will pay off, said Flory.

Iran inaugurated the cell therapy and regenerative medicine center affiliated to the country's Red Crescent Society in a ceremony attended by Iranian Vice President for Science and Technology Affairs Sorena Sattari.
"Stem cells are of great importance for the future. If we want to describe the modern medicine, we should say that one of its important bases is stem cell," he said.
He also said scientific projects take 10-15 years to turn into trade products.
In 2013, Iran hosted an international congress on stem cell and biomedicine attended by representatives of major medical research groups mostly from China, India, Italy and US and Iran have taken part in the two-day event and was organized by Iran's Royan institute.
The congress aimed to bring together the researchers and practitioners from all over the world in stem cells and reproductive biomedicine to stimulate and promote research in this area.
Stem cell research is one of the most promising research areas in modern biomedicine. However, due to moral and ethical debates, it remains a controversial issue in many regions of the world.
Stem cells have been shown to have significant capability to develop into a plethora of different cell types and work as a repair system to replenish cells with specialized functions.
Due to the efforts of Iranian scientists, doctors, engineers and researchers, Iran has advanced tremendously in the fields of stem cell research, medicine, nanotechnology, biotechnology and aerospace engineering.

Spare a thought for those far from home this Christmas not least Italys first woman in space, Samantha Cristoforetti, one of the six astronauts orbiting the Earth at 17,200mph in the International Space Station (ISS).
While Cristoforetti will miss out on her traditional family meal, she will have the consolation of cutting-edge cuisine prepared especially for her in a pristine factory on the edge of Turin.
The pre-packed dishes were produced at a small aerospace engineering firm, Argotec , and have been the subject of almost as much experimentation as the spacecrafts pressurised modules, robotic arms and solar arrays.
The companys association with space food stems from its involvement in astronaut training, and began as a bit of joke, says the managing director, David Avino. His firm was helping to train Luca Parmitano, the Italian astronaut on the first mission to be run by the countrys space agency, ASI.
He wanted to take up some dishes that were typical of Italy, said Avino. It was only after Argotec embarked on their preparation that he realised what he had let himself in for.
Special meals could only justify their place in the payload if they helped to boost morale. To do that, they had to be significantly better than the standard astronauts fare produced by the US and Russian space agencies. But making luxury cuisine for astronauts is no easy matter.
Space travel, like air travel, robs food of its flavour. And dishes sent up to the ISS have to keep for long periods: Parmitano was away for five-and-a-half months while Nasa standards demand an eat by date at least 18 months after launch.
Some dishes can be sterilised by thermostabilisation, using heat under pressure. But the more liquid ones have to be freeze-dried, which takes away yet more flavour.
Stefano Polato, Argotecs 33-year-old chef, who also has a restaurant near Padua , said part of the solution lay in scrupulous selection of the ingredients. Take an apple, for example, he said. You can lower the temperature for sterilisation and avoiding killing off the nutrients if you pick one that has the right acidity level. A pH of 3.5 is ideal. You get fewer bacteria and longer conservation. It tastes good too.

The 3D printer aboard the International Space Station has wrapped up the first phase of its orbital test run by cranking out a ratchet wrench whose design was beamed up from Earth.
The wrench, along with the 19 other objects built by the orbiting 3D printer thus far, will travel to Earth early next year, where engineers will compare the objects with ground samples produced by the same machine before it launched, NASA officials said.
"We can't wait to get these objects home and put them through structural and mechanical testing," Quincy Bean, of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, said in a statement. "We really won't know how well this process worked in space until we inspect the parts and complete these tests." [10 Ways 3D Printing Could Transform Space Travel]
The 3D printer arrived on the space station in September as part of the 3D Print project, a collaboration between NASA and the California-based startup Made in Space, which designed and built the machine. The printer was installed in the station's Microgravity Science Glovebox on Nov. 17, then printed out its first part a piece for the printer itself called an extruder plate a week later.
All the other parts made by the printer during its first month of operations came from designs installed on the machine before its launch. So sending the wrench's file up from Earth marked another milestone, NASA officials said.
"For the printer's final test in this phase of operations, NASA wanted to validate the process for printing on demand, which will be critical on longer journeys to Mars," 3D Print program manager Niki Werkheiser, also of NASA Marshall,said in the same statement. "In less than a week, the ratchet was designed, approved by safety and other NASA reviewers, and the file was sent to space where the printer made the wrench in four hours."
The wrench measures 4.5 inches long by 1.3 inches wide (11.4 by 3.3 centimeters), and consists of 104 layers of extruded plastic, space agency officials said.
NASA has high hopes for 3D printing, saying in-space manufacturing technology could bring down the cost of spaceflight significantly and make voyaging spacecraft more self-sufficient. (Carrying a printer and some raw "feedstock" material would be easier and cheaper than lugging a huge cache of spare parts, the thinking goes.)
The 3D Print project is one step toward this ambitious goal. And the machine's work aboard the space station isn't done yet; phase two should start early next year.
"For our next phase of operations, we are working with the astronaut office to identify existing tools that we can make with the printer," Werkheiser said. "We can't wait until it is routine to see station astronauts use tools that they built in space."
