New release 1.05b with free charting for all coming within 24 hrs...

linux version will be fixed to work on all systems.
with working on linux?

It's been running (robot trading BTCe) on a ubuntu laptop for >72 hours with zero memory leaks.

105b has changed the default disk cache path for linux:

It now sets up the cache root in the application directory, the same directory as the program file. So provided you have read/write access to that it should be fine.

<105b was trying to save to system docs path that it got from the OS.

Nice!  Will go through the documentation - thanks! P.S - the link doesn't load for the manual/documentation.

Thanks for the heads up.

The link goes directly to a PDF file:

https://www.cortex7.net/docs/cortex7_user_guide.pdf

If you're on Android then it may cause it to quietly download, then you'll have to get Adobe reader free from Google Play store to open the downloaded file which should be on the bottom Android taskbar.

I will see if I can convert it to HTML easily, it's not good for users to perceive a dead end like that.

Yes, I watch that program from time to time. Very good to keep an eye on the political pulse and the problems both domestic and in foreign politics.



An interesting read:
http://english.pravda.ru/society/stories/23-10-2014/128877-putin_russia-0/

Quote
In turn, State Duma deputy Vyacheslav Nikonov believes that recent attacks on Russian President Vladimir Putin in Western media have become unprecedented.

"During the recent months, attacks not only on Russia, but also on the president of Russia have taken an unprecedented scale. I read American newspapers every day since 1976 and I can say that never before have they put so much pressure on Russia and its leader. Yet, Russia finds itself under pressure when the country is strong - this is the main reason why it happens," said Nikonov.

...

Volodin said that those, who thought that the sanctions would split Russia, were deeply mistaken. According to him, the Russians are well aware of the fact that "attacks on Putin mean attacks on Russia." Volodin referred to recent opinion polls, the results of which showed that 85 percent of Russians approve of Putin's work, whereas 66 percent of Russian citizens do not see any other presidential candidate in 2018 and want to re-elect Putin.

Interesting, the Pravda article is probably biased, but for sure I think Russian citizens regard Putin with higher esteem than Americans regard Obama ( and most of their recent presidents for that matter ).

He also seems to have a higher rating on the whole global stage.

With this in mind it does seem Russia has a more cohesive internal structure, giving them some strategic advantage.

I wonder if America may need to impose some internal controls to quench any dissent should the war go hot?

Any yes, most religious people know nothing of the history of religion, let alone science, mentally lazy I guess.

Well it is just laziness really, it's just another extremely long winded way of saying "I don't know the answer to life and the universe! So I shall make it up" and so began religion, where the took advantage of naive people who didn't know any better and brainwashed them into the army of angry, xenophobic, homophobic, easily offended drones we see today.

You're right, but it's worse than that, it's like saying:

"I don't know the answer to life and the universe! So I shall take on the beliefs of someone who says they do, will I audit the info... fuck no!"



Fucking typos >_<

lol yes that's another problem, people just didn't question any of it, then again anyone who does is often persecuted and it wasn't so long ago they were burned at the stake.

You're still innocent brother, typos aren't quite as bad as murder Wink

But yes you're dead right; throughout history religious folk have proven to be real nasty. The biggest religions of today being the biggest culprits committing large scale genocide,  employing unusually cruel methods to accomplish it.

It's the logical consequence of competing memetic entities (religions), a good attack power is needed as well as defense in the global arena of competition. Religion is a mind virus, fear opens the mind to infection.

But besides that, how anyone could champion an organization with such a ruthless past is quite beyond me. Some moral introspection is in order, unless they are incapable of that which would imply they are void of empathy, it puzzles me so.

What about a coin backed by Gold and by a trusted centralised company?

Trusting other animals to look after your resources is silly behavior, no other creature would do such an absurd thing.
108  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or Gold? What would you pick? on: October 24, 2014, 11:34:52 PM
Latest posters are sensible, they deserve pats on their greasy domes.

Bitcoin AND Gold, mix the two, they are both real money.

50/50 is a good mix to start with.

EDIT: Silver rounds are A1 also.

Yes religions evolve, memetic evolution as opposed to genetic.

Any yes, most religious people know nothing of the history of religion, let alone science, mentally lazy I guess.

The name Jesus (yaweh) was selected as a new deity fairly recently from a pantheon of gods, Yaweh is the mountain god of WAR, urghhh how uncooth and barbaric. Undecided Before being named Jesus however he was a vegetation god, tied to the start of the new growing season, a bit nicer. But modern Christians choose to acknowledge a Hebrew construct, ho hum.
112  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why There Should Be A Bitcoin Central Bank on: October 24, 2014, 05:36:59 PM
Why would we need a central bank?  I don't understand the purpose of trying to get a bank involved into Bitcoin.  I think Bitcoin was purely created for the opposite purpose. 

The purpose would be:

Enrich the group of people running the bank.

It's a stupid idea (unless you're the schmuck running it).

This is Russia's favorite weekly political talk show. Seriously interesting. (Captions)

All i have to say to that is... "That's a bit mad!"
Benjamin Fulford is not "a bit" mad...

Hehe.. ok, I didn't know him. Fully certifiably mad then, if he's like that all the time.

I'd love the BRICs to break up the Jekyll Island Cabal as much anybody but...

On a scale of 1 to Martin Armstrong, BF is 9.5 nutbars short of a moonbat.   Cheesy

I find his "info leaks" very entertaining, like a good novel.

His father was a Canadian diplomat and he wrote for Forbes for quite a long time until he defected to Japan where he is quite popular to this day.

Of course he has a terrible reputation in the west, as any defector would. But the world is bigger than our own countries, some interesting stuff going on for sure. Time of change is afoot.

If you found that entertaining then here's something with more "substance" from a real Russian politician talk show, seems they are pissed with the sanctions and tooling up for a fight, trouble brewing:

Bottom line: buy and hold some Bitcoin (and gold or silver) and wait for the waters to settle in a decade or two.

Hey Cypherdoc,

I know Benjamin Fulford is not considered a reliable source by many, but nonetheless this makes for fascinating fiction if nothing else:

http://benjaminfulford.net/2014/10/20/did-the-dragon-family-take-control-of-the-federal-reserve-board/

If it were true then I think bitcoin (and gold) would go ballistic as folk leapt to a safe stepping stone during the transition, or do you think most would just buy yuan (if that were actually possible).

There are so many possibilities as to what may happen fairly soonish, most of them will send safety net securities to the moon if they happen.
117  Economy / Services / Re: Looking for bitcoin miners on: October 20, 2014, 09:03:28 PM
We are looking for solo miners having more than 1TH mining machine with free or very cheap electricity. We want to rent your miner...

Sounds interesting sketchy.

What's in it for the person owning the miner.

How can you give the person a higher return than if they just mined on a pool for themselves?

1000 years?

If the value is for me: my body will be gone by then. So most valuable will be some "hardware" for "me" to run on. Some processes by which "I" can exist. Maybe something like the ethereum blockchain and a religion around it to keep it alive and for providing sensing and actuation (humans and other means).

If the storage of value is for my family or clan, cult, sect or whatever: I'd say education and sensible goals and principles for the group would be a good investment. Also means of production and probably more importantly intelligence and modelling, planning capabilities and mechanisms for acquisition and preservance of knowledge and skills.

What the hell, quite a tangent...

Land

Maybe a small amount in land deeds, but political borders ( and thus the security of the land deed ) are quite fluid when viewed over 1k years.

Out of interest: Say you were given the task of designing a portfolio to survive 1000 years, what would it be comprised of?
I don't believe this is a valid question.

We don't have the slightest idea what will be valuable 1000 years from now.

I agree there will be no correct answer until those 1000 years have elapsed, but it's a perfectly valid question, giving insight into how the person answering thinks about wealth stores as long term contenders.

Myself I would stack a portfolio to last 1000 years something like this as a starting point:

50% Precious metals.
30% Bitcoin.
20% items that may be considered valuable antiques by then ( I would have to think more on that one ).

For a portfolio, with a 10 ... 50 year outlook, I would forget the antiques and have 50% Bitcoin, 50% PM.
