<p>For two weeks in May 2017, I worked with a team of talented people (aliases: Gerschel, Jrhedman, Mys, Tako, Anagamidev) to solve a steganographic puzzle released by Litecoin’s creator, <a href="https://twitter.com/SatoshiLite">Charlie Lee</a>, and designed by <a href="http://zd3n.com">Zd3n</a>, mad scientist cryptoartist. The puzzle was initially posted on <a href="http://crypto.haluska.sk">Zd3n’s crypto puzzle site</a>.</p>
<p>After 13 days of hyper intense focus, we found the answer, which is posted here: <a href="https://github.com/Cybourgeoisie/LTCStegCode">LTCStegCode</a>.</p>
<p>Mys <a href="https://steemit.com/litecoin/@mys/remember-this-210-ltc-worth-puzzle-posted-by-charlie-lee-we-have-solved-it-detail-explanation-inside-how-we-did-that">wrote a story</a> about the journey to find the answer.</p>
<p>Since solving this puzzle, I’ve been closely following the puzzles created by <a href="https://twitter.com/Zd3N">Zd3n</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/coin_artist">coin_artist</a>, and other members of the cypherpunk art scene.</p>Bitcoin and the Future of Commerce2016-06-28T13:10:50+00:002016-06-28T13:10:50+00:00https://cybourgeoisie.github.io/blog/bitcoin-future<p><img src="/images/btc-future.jpg" alt="alt text" title="Flashy Bitcoin Logo" /></p>
<p>To promote Stellartisan, I wrote a brief essay about why I feel that Bitcoin and digital currencies could lead the future of commerce.</p>

<p>I published a Udemy course on how to build a computer cluster out of Raspberry Pi 2’s. The course is still valid for Raspberry Pi 3’s and the latest version of Raspbian, with some small changes for special cases that are addressed through the Q&A.</p>

<li>Several ethernet cables</li>
<li>Two 8 GB SD cards (supposed to have NOOBS pre-installed.. both were corrupt)</li>
<li>Two power supplies (5V 2000mA)</li>
<li>Verizon router (4 connections, from Goodwill)</li>
<li>Logitech keyboard and mouse, wired</li>
</ul>
<p>Just installed Raspbian. Going to try to install MPICH2 shortly and see if I can get the two Pis to chat.</p>Grad School, Ahoy!2015-05-30T00:00:00+00:002015-05-30T00:00:00+00:00https://cybourgeoisie.github.io/blog/grad-school-acceptance<p>I’ve been accepted into the Penn State Computer Science and Engineering PhD program for Fall 2015! Here’s looking forward to further education, grueling hours, innovative research, and six more years of State College, Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>I’m ridiculously excited.</p>
