QCN now up on poloniex.com.  Has been for six hours.  Currently trading at 0.0007 to 0.0013 BTC.

No reference, sorry - some guy in the polo trollbox said the premine was destroyed.  I was looking for verification.

Please educate me.  What is the power consumption of this 200H/s rig?

Thanks.

If QCN gets on polo or cryptonote.ex, the miner poll is underway. 

I like spreading my coin around to reduce my exposure to being goxxed.

BTC - 32% of 57% total emission in 500 hands.  That's 500 competitors controlling 18% of the total emission.

BCN - 80% of 100% total emission in 3 hands?  4 hands?  5 hands?  That's 5 collaborators controlling 80% of the total emission.

Guess I'm not smart enough to see the similarities.

I asked the same question yesterday.  This forum seems like the obvious place to ask (for people like me who aren't smart enough to analyze a blockchain.)

Anyone care to visualize a turd being polished?

Are you a BCN dev?

fonzie is back!!! 

The genesis block of the ignorechain has been double spent as a hard-coded checkpoint!

The only explanation for this is the recent price breakout.

[ANN]  Anyone quoting Fonzie will go into the ignorechain with zero confirmations.

There are few things funnier than a non-entity calling names on the event of the century.

When 2101 rolls around, here are the stories from the previous 100 years  that may eclipse bitcoin:

proof of extraterrestiral life
a female president
a black president
a nuclear war
an human ectogestation
quantum computing
matter from energy
10,000 deaths from an accident at a nuclear generating station
the emergence of China, Cuba, and North Korea from communist gangsterism


Some nobody dumbass saying "polish a turd" about bitcoin will not be one of those stories.  It will be a forgotten laughable post on a forgotten forum populated by self-important dumbasses who say things like "polish a turd".

Moving now, after 74-minute trading gap.  Richard Nixon must be running the exhange.

CryptoNote.exchange.to shows no trades for last hour+.  Is anyone else seeing this?

Somebody on Polo trollbox says the 80% premined BCN were destroyed.  Verify anyone?

With ~20% capacity factor, so annual energy out (in kWh) equals power rating (in watts) x 8.760 x ~0.2.

How do you say "double entendre" in Esperanto?

Fonzie returns as a pedestrian.

Your 2 cents was worth quite a bit more before Gox played by the rules you describe - much to the detriment of a lot of people, techy and non-techy.

The total bitcoin network using as much energy as 70 humans is a lot more than you thought?  

If that's too much energy, than you need to grab the next 71 humans you see and tell them all to take it easy - they're consuming more energy than the entire bitcoin network!!!

Another estimate of bitcoin network portion of global electricity consumption goes like this:

5TW * 8760 * .47 = 20 trillion kWh annually, where 5TW is an estimate for total global electric generation installed, and 0.47 is a usage factor used by utilities applied to typical residential usage. 

The bitcoin mining network uses 70PH/s at 1W/GH/s = 70MW, and it uses that electricty 8760 hours annually, which results in 600 million kWh annually.

600 million / 20 trillion is 30 parts in a million, or 1 part in 30,000.

So you'd really have to find 250,000 people (say, atttending an appearance by the Pope) and tell them all, "Hey, slow down!   You're using more energy than the entire bitcoin network!!!"
