I will give another possibility for answer number 2.
2 - No. Bitcoin energy consumption is more a solution than a problem.Bitcoin is mainly mined where electricity is cheap. We have cheap electricity where it's plentiful and abundant, not where it's scary. In other words, excess energy produced is being directed to bitcoin mining. We cannot store energy, and when energy plants are build they produce more energy than required, so they can supply the region for some time. Also, as Bitcoin adoption grows it can hasten renewable energy development and adoption. Bitcoin mining can be an environmental subsidy to alternative energy all around the world because it's causing these projects to be amortized over a year instead of five. It's very easy to criticize bitcoin mining because it's too obvious. More obvious than the energy consumption of Visa, for example, which not everyone is aware of how much energy they consume. More information about here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T0OUIW89II (Andreas Antonopoulos.) That are claims that Christmas lights consumes as much energy as bitcoin mining. http://www.coindaily.co/2017/12/14/christmas-decorations-consume-as-much-electricity-as-bitcoin-mining/ |

Joe I will no longer have enough Merit to send to the participants for Round 5+. I will (most likely) send Round 4 winners their merit once I get a chance to read their posts. Round 5 I do not have the merit to sponsor any merit rewards. I can maintain my cash sponsorship, however, so only my merit sponsorship(s) will be rescinded. Hopefully by Round 6 I will have accumulated enough merit to sponsor merit again.
Hello Joe and bill Gator. I have some smerits. I can sponsor the merits for round 5 in bill Gator's place if you need. |

Já tentei usar o coinomi para resgatar forks de endereços Segwit P2SH (que começam com 3), mas não deu certo. Tem algum passo extra que deve ser feito?
Olha eu testei e realmente não consegui com segwit. Vou pesquisar melhor mas acho que não da mesmo. Vou editar o post. Erro meu. |

I know all members have problem with rank up (except legendary members) but some members who dont know enough english for describe himself or describe their opinins have bigger problem.I am Turk and I usually looking Turkish forum cuz I can understand easily , I can share my all opinions in my language. Its good but there is a problem There is not enough merit sources in Turkish forum. I think all local forums have this problem. We need more local merit sources . They will share merits in their local forums.Its not a selfish request I want it for all local forums.I will be waiting for your opinions guys  Turkish is board is the second easier local board to get merit. I agree with you that local boards need more merit sources, but not Turkish and Russian! They have plenty already. I was taking a look at zentdex's Where the Merit Pours? and found this image: |

I agree with TMAN. As most of the posts are shitposts, some merit sources can do the job. But I think in local sessions we still have a problem. I was taking a look at zentdex's Where the Merit Pours? and found this image There are clearly local board with lack of sources. My local board for example, Portuguese, has zero merit sources. Turkish, Russian and Indonesian has plenty merit sources, much more than the other boards. I will try to make some better analysis of my local board merit with the merit.txt data in future. |

From privacy to guides, this week shows that you can consistently post great content and be relevant to the areas in which you post in. Great job!

Hello,
I saw there are some slots left on the spreadsheet. I would like to join the campaign. I applied for bustadice and your campaign (Yahoo62278 Sig Campaign) also.

Why would someone with zero posts do this? lol |

I highly recommend you do leave your savings on those exchanges, as they are like double-risk. You have the risk associate with the exchange, and the risk associate with Tether.
I guess, you intend to say you do not leave your savings Thank you. Fixed! |

I wan't know wich is safer and user friendly a online of desktop wallet.
I use NEO GUi but also meta mask
Desktop wallets are usually safer, but online wallets are more friendly. But if you go to obscure websites, don't know anything about privacy, computing, do not use an adblock, do not use antivirus and antimalware, all of these wallets are pretty unsafe. If you use a desktop wallet and your computer is infected, you will probably lose your coins. I think online wallets may be a bit safer for those users because they have 2FA. The greater risk of desktop mobile and online wallets are user's bad habits. I think this post may help you, if you use those wallets. Let's Talk about Privacy |

Hm, why Poloniex is also listed on this list (on the full version) while they don't have USDT pairs for a pretty long time? Polo doesn't have any fiat pairs for now. Also those 230 mln tokens on the treasury doesn't seem to be a part of the market. It seems like they store it in order to provide another "loans" if it will be needed.
You can also notify that they stopped creating new tokens after the investigation was started.
P.S. If CFTC will make their own audit and decide to erase Tether then Bitfinex will be probably shut down as they have the same people behind it. Think about it before making a deposit on your Bitfinex acc.
Just added Poloniex to the list, as it is a big exchange with pretty much Tether. I was lazy to omit it from the original list. |

If you're suggesting Tor anyway, why not suggest its built-in add-ons for Firefox? There are only two after all, and neither is particularly invasive: - HTTPS Everywhere - Forces sites to use https when available
- NoScript - Blocks javascript from untrusted domains (you have to trust them manually)
VPNs are also great for making sure your ISP doesn't snoop on you, though routing all of your traffic through Tor achieves mostly the same thing. Either way, excellent write-up Yeah these are good add-ons. As I said, privacy is an never ending task, there are many other good add-ons, programs, vpn, encrypt devices... I will add https everywhere to the post, as it's very easy to use, thank you. Added how to encrypt your mobile device too. |

Feito sobe medida para você caro Cachorro. #SomosTodosSonegadores #VamosTodosSonegar #SomosTodosImposto Quem Declara criptomoedas vai contra as criptomoedas... Vai contra o anonimato.  Cara eu acho que isso não é boa ideia. Ocultação de patrimônio é crime. Se você adquiriu de forma legal seu dinheiro, pq esconder? A ideia de criptomoedas não necessariamente exige ocultação de patrimônio, mas privacidade nas transações. Ninguém precisa saber onde vc guarda nem com o que você gasta seu dinheiro, mas por questões legais você deve informar o governo que você o possui. Se você oculta seu patrimônio, um dia ele pode valorizar para digamos 3 milhões e vc não vai nem poder gasta-lo sem ter problemas com a receita. Não precisa dar sua chave privada nem pública pro governo. Isso sim seria contra a ideia das criptos |
