Use cases for bitcoin written in the JTBD format of "Help me... So that..."
Help me protect my long-term assets from inflation, so that they have the same purchasing power in 10, 20, 50 years.
Help me get my wealth out of a failing currency regime, so that I don't have to start from zero when I start my life again in a new jurisdiction.
Help me move large amounts of value (often across borders) quickly, cheaply, and securely, so that I don't have to pay 6-figures to hire security and sweat bullets during the transfer.
Help me support people and organizations that are being financially censored, so that they can survive in the face of political oppression.
Help me truly detect the changes in supply and demand across the economy, so that I can more accurately forecast my business activities. (i.e. a price system that works)
Help me have financial security and not worry about being cancelled by the woke mob, so that I can stand tall and live in accordance with my principals in the face of oppression.

# Andrew Goldstone, July 2017. All yours to use or modify, but no promises.
#
# The mutt e-mail client has an option to query an external address book for
# e-mail addresses. On a Mac it is nice to be able to query the Address Book
# (now known as Contacts). For a while I used a utility called contacts
# (http://gnufoo.org/contacts) but this stopped working under Sierra. There is
# an official API for querying Contacts as a unified datastore, but it is only

Basecamp is under network attack (DDoS)

Basecamp was under network attack

The attack detailed below has stopped (for the time being) and almost all network access for almost all customers have been restored. We're keeping this post and the timeline intact for posterity. Unless the attack resumes, we'll post a complete postmortem within 48 hours (so before Wednesday, March 26 at 11:00am central time).

Criminals have laid siege to our networks using what's called a distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) starting at 8:46 central time, March 24 2014. The goal is to make Basecamp, and the rest of our services, unavailable by flooding the network with bogus requests, so nothing legitimate can come through. This attack was launched together with a blackmail attempt that sought to have us pay to avoid this assault.

Note that this attack targets the network link between our servers and the internet. All the data is safe and sound, but nobody is able to get to it as long as the attack is being successfully executed. This is like a bunch of people
