Title: Bitcoin = bullshit grinder
Post by: noganoo on April 27, 2011, 08:32:18 AM
my great uncle made me a toy out of wood.. uses energy and does nothing but go in cycles.. he called it a bullshit grinder.  turn your computers off.  turn on some grow lights.. plant a garden.. make your own wine and organic products.. check out the new LED grow lights.. now that's a good invention!  if you are going to continue this amazing technology please evolve it into a BOINC type network where problems get solved!  Thank you for your time. This community breeds awesome discussion!  nice to meet all of you!  - nOgAnOo

I'd like to buy this bullshit grinder. My offer is 5 Bitcoins. Where should I send the money?

It would be nice if you could hook up that device to a mechanism which calculates one hash for each turn of the handle, and rings a bell if you solve a block, like this one does:

Everything is relative anyway. Bullshit is gold if you grow vegetables. Duck! Incoming carrot jokes.

Also, apparently the OP's uncle has no use for drawing ellipses. That doesn't mean drawing ellipses = nothing.

Does this come in the 3 phase variety? I'm an Electrical Engineer.

I have an idea that takes manure and labor as inputs and converts it to fertilizer, methane trapped in solid form, and any spare electricity left over as outputs. Shall I share?

Lol, nothing like fancy wording to mess with your head, of course cow shit got methane, and with work methane can be turned into burning ice, when you pay attention to what is involved it turns out it's no big deal
