No. What you are saying is not true. Abundant electricity? Excess energy? That is not how the electric grid works. You need to produce the exact same amount of electricity, that is demanded every single second. If you produce more, the frequency increases, if you produce less, it decreases. 0,1% difference is tolerated in my country, and I believe in whole Europe. Also, You are right about Visa having hidden electricity costs, but I believe something similar to a Life Cycle Assessment could be carried out to find out the truth. I watched the video you linked, and now I see where you got your ideas from. Sadly, what this guy says, is partially wrong. There are some things he gets right, but there are so many points he gets wrong. If you build a power plant with the capacity of 50MW, it will not produce 50MW all the time. The output can be regulated. Even if the power plant is based on alternative/renewable energy sources like wind, solar or hydro. Also, you can turn these power plants off, this person was wrong at that point, too. You can shut down windmills, as they usually do in heavy winds to prevent damage, or when would be too much power produced. You can easily regulate a hydro power plant. Also, pumped hydro is the most common way to store energy (yes, it is possible to store energy, which is relevant in the energy sector). I believe you can do it with solar panels aswell. And I'm curious why this person, Andreas, have little to no idea about the basic concept of the electric grid, yet stands out, talks about it, spreading false ideas, and even puts it onto youtube.  Well, what you are saying is not entirely true, even in Europe. Only on thermal and nuclear plants you can produce the exact amount of energy being demanded. And these are not the only types of electricity plants in the world. There are countries in Europe like Switzerland which they pump water from the base of the valley back to the top of the elevation, so they can sell this excess energy at peak hours of consume to another countries. If energy could be stored, that would not happen. Search about it on google you will find out. Indeed some are hydro plants are able to store energy, but not all of them. Not all hydro plant have a reservoir, actually some of the biggest of the world do not have. They are called Run-of-the-river hydroelectricity . The biggest one in Brazil (Itaipu), and one of the biggest in the world, is one of this kind of hydro plant. These kind of hydro power plants just can´t store energy, and the amount of energy produced cannot be controlled. Even if bitcoin is not be produced from excess energy, it can still be a sponsor of alternative energy sources. As cryptomining is profitable, people could buy solar panels (which can be shut down, but there is no reason to do so, and you cannot store solar energy) and use the excess energy produce to mine. I think Antonopoulos sometimes speaks too much, but he is very knowledge about crypto and respected in crypto community. Maybe he made a few mistakes in that video, but he has a point. Just saying bitcoin is just bad for the environment is just false and hypocrisy. |

Essa carteira conseguir realizar transações na mainnet é algo fantástico que mostra que o LN já está funcionando.
Mas é uma mobile wallet. Numa mobile wallet não é recomendado colocar fundos que de valores superiores ao celular usado.
E ainda que seja uma carteira bacana , ela é a primeira usando LN na mainnet.
Por favor não coloquem as economias da sua nessa carteira. Esse POST foi simplesmente para alertar sobre a notícia, sobre LN estar funcionando. Eu baixei o a carteira para ver a interface e como funciona só..
Espero que em breve todos estejam usando a LN sem nem saber o que é isso. Igual todo mundo usa visa sem saber como ele funciona.
Por isso que precisamos de boas Wallets, é projetos desse tipo são fundamentais. Na minha opinião os projetos mais necessários hoje são justamente os mais tediosos: carteiras, Exchanges.... Projetos de infraestrutura que irão permitir a adoção em massa

I disagree. With something as complicated as the lightning network, a good wallet is going to make all the difference. If it's hard to use, it will severely limit adoption and people won't use it nearly as much, but with smooth, good looking apps like these there's a much better chance to get it in the hands of many more people.
I agree with you. The projects that are the most needed now are the infrastructure ones, the boring ones. Bitcoin adoption needs easy to use Wallets, with beautiful and friendly interface. Bitcoin needs a lot of exchanges, on as many fiat pairs are possible. This wallet is just the beginning for lightning network. People need to use lightning network without even knowing that it exists. |

It's sad that it didn't have any impact over the price

Recentemente fui participar de uma ICO, e especificaram o custo da transação que eu deveria fazer para depositar o Ethereum:
Gas Price (Preço Gas): 50 Gwei
Gas Limit (Limite de Gas): 150.000.
Assim, fui pesquisar o que significam exatamente esses valores.
Gwei e Wei são unidades de medidas de Ethereum. Wei é a menor divisão possível de um Ether (assim como um satoshi para o Bitcoin)
1 Ether = 1.000.000.000.000.000.000 Wei
Toda transação que ocorre na rede Ethereum custa Gas. Cada operação tem um preço, por exemplo, Adição custa 3 Gas e Multiplicação custa 5 gas.
O preço total da transação é dado por Gas Price x Gas Limit.
Gas Price (Preço Gas): Quantidade de Wei que será pago por cada unidade de Gas.
Gas Limit (Limite de Gas): Quantidade total de Gas que a transação poderá consumir. (O que exceder será devolido)
Então dessa forma, a transação mencionada acima definiu o preço do Gas em 50 Gwei e o limite máximo de 150.000 Gas.
Serão consumidos no total até 7.500.000 Gwei, que seriam 0.0075 Eth.

Do twitter (tradução livre): Eclair wallet é uma carteira de código aberto para a Lightning Network. Vemos tantos posts inúteis sobre mérito, preço e ninguém está falando sobre isso? As pessoas estão baixando essa carteira e fazendo transações na Lightning Network na mainnet!!!Não sei o que esperar dessa carteira e não vi muitas avaliações ainda. Mas isso é foda! O futuro está chegando! |

From twitter: Eclair wallet is a open source wallet for Lightning Network. I see so many shitposts here about merit, price, etc, but nobody is talking about this? People are doing transactions using lightning network with this wallet on the MAINNET. This is HUGE!!! What do you guys think about this wallet? |

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. |

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! |
