People always said that buying is better than mining (and they have been right almost all of the time), but where's the fun in just buying?
When you're an ex-miner, recognize how unprofitable and a pain in the balls it is to run a mining operation, end up doing the math on a miner + electricity + Time to ROI... fuck the fun. Time is money. Cheaper to buy what you would spend on a miner now, than what it would likely generate 18 months from now, IMO. Unless you have cheap or free electricity, I don't see the benefit of mining right now vs just buying corn outright. true now, but back in 2011 i sure wasnt going to hand over my ID and such to sketch af exchanges to buy corn. so i mined coins directly as it was safer from an identity theft point of view. no giving out info, just mine direct to my wallet. so i did mine at a loss for a while (a year maybe? that looooong period that it went from $35 to ~$2 USD in 2011-2012 or so) but not much of a loss as opposed to straight up buying, perhaps a 20% premium? but then again i was used to doing folding@home and SETI, both which cost money (electric cost plus buying dedicated hardware that folded) and provided absolutely no return at all aside from the warm fuzzies from supporting science and medicine. and that mining at a loss in the 2011-2012 timeframe sure paid off bigly now of course. VERY bigly. today is of course different. |

[Multple stuff]
Just a quick note but when combining multiple posts, it is better to put the items in the new post rather than the already existing one (then delete the existing one) lest those who have already seen your original post miss it when looking for "new". bold of you to think people dont want to miss anything jjg writes *ducks* |

the core wallet in 2010 didnt use passwords iirc. that was added much later.
his only chance is to search for private keys in that mess as the file system is no help. as he has overwritten that drive many times from a (very) fast glance though what he has done, looks pretty bad.
do a full image of the disk. work only on the copy.
then use something to scan every single thing on the drive that looks like a private key. raw sector reads for the raw data at this point is likely your best chance,

$1,001 - $2,000
$2,001 - $5,000
$5,001 - $10,000
$10,001 - $20,000
$20,001 - $50,000
> $50,000
I don't own any.
I mined it all.
I mindrusted it all! i mined mine back in the day (2011 to 2012) while the price went from 10 to 35 to 2. so ill do the 11-100 as the cost basis. |

There is another way to get you to geostat in 30min without using rocket fuel but it's pretty insane but doable. Anyone from NASA can DM me  shot outta a cannon ala Jules Vern's From the Earth to the Moon? obviously you can tell im not NASA lol |

You need a counterweight to stop it all coming down to earth  yup, geosync orbit is the midpoint of the elevator. well, more or less. as you say it needs a counterweight further out so it doesnt need to be the actual midpoint. one can go with no real dedicated counterweight, just make the cable twice as long and use the mass of the cable itself thats past geosync as the counterweight. i believe you can sling stuff off the far end too if its just cable past the geosync point. iirc. but you know this of course, this is for those who havent looked into it. didnt Arthur C. Clarke 1st came up with the space elevator concept?. Fountains of Paradise. |

Now, space elevators are another topic. We don't have the materials right now but fun stuff like if one collapsed, it would wrap around the world a couple of times (IIRC).
the circumference of earth is 24k miles. a space elevator woiuld need to be up probably 22k-26k miles. i guess it depends if this wrap would follow a circumference line or a smaller one. nice problem to think about. thx. well not if youre in its path when it falls heh as someone mentioned larry niven has written about them, both in essays and in his fiction. anything by him is good reading. |

Maybe is it time for the price of Donator and VIP ranks to reduce? I know this has been discussed before but then again the price at that time was nowhere close to what it is now.
Please if not that, new rank roles??? Let's discuss!
I think it is fine not to change this at all. We all know that it is so expensive to be a VIP here but that would be that member's decision and not ours. If they can afford it, then they are a VIP. I think the VIP members are also thinking that 10 BTC in the past is just expensive as it is now. Spending 10 BTC for the said advantages or privileges is for them to decide. no. i remember almost donating back in the day (~2012) and fiat wise it was WAY less costly. several thousand dollars USD vs what like 500 grand now |

yes, its better for us old farts as it keeps our napping down to reasonable levels, plus weve already left our mark in the gene pool anyway. |

JayJuanGee, LFC_Bitcoin, philipma1957, fillippone, xhomerx10 ... Friends, if someone has a couple of extra merits, please read the history of messages below the presented persons, as they are on the verge of a new rank. and, if your generosity knows no bounds, feel free to send merit to El duderino_, as the 5,000 merit threshold is no joke. Let me know if I forgot to mention anyone. Ehi! I struggled a few weeks to get past 5k and nobody setup a merit post for this! /j I am little short on my merit stash, sent all I have to Arrie. serveia.com now has 500 soliton now has 240 nope, 1000 |
