I'll bite - I've just read the whole thing. The WHOLE THING!

The spelling mistakes give it a very unpolished feel and the lack of any citations or proof that any of this is true gives it a slightly dry novella feel.

It was entertaining in places and some of it sounded familiar but what it lacked in brevity, it more than made up for in unsubstantiated claims.

The narrator lacks credibility due to the extreme lack of facts and some of the plot lines seem a little far fetched but suspending disbelief did allow me to get through the entire episode without feeling like I was completing an assignment.

The plot is the familiar conspiracy theory where many centuries ago the beginnings of an empire or secret society is formed. The narrator takes us through to the present day, highlighting the events that have led to our current banking system.

The literary style is somewhat rushed and definitely not proof-read but as it's a Bitcoin, premier I guess I can't be too hard.

*****----- 5/10

Overall a 5/10 - not something you'll want to shout from the rooftops about but family and friends who are interested in this genre might appreciate a heads up. Here's hoping the sequel has more polish and includes a quick trip to the spell checker.

That's not a bad review, especially considering i did not write it.
I pieced it from many books in my library of over 1000 books.

Oooooh. A thousand books...a regular library of congress you've got there.

I can't wait till my 10 day muskie fishing trip in Wisconsin starts. I need a break from this forum.

Damn...10 day muskellunge slaughter...You lucky bastard. You'll pull down all the northern pike, too. What's bag limit in WI?


Get yourself some of these (or along these lines). I pulled a 23 pounder out of Rush Lake in MN with one.

I, for one, cannot believe bitrebel is anything but an act

I thought the same, but then I consider how many books and documentaries have been published on the matter, so there has to be people that are legitimately this fucking nuts. They can't all be trolling.

Do people who want to join have to believe in a higher being (power?).
This is asked at least once per page. Yes, you must believe in a higher power. No, we don't preach religion, and no we don't tell you who or what to believe in. We do this so that there is a feeling of accountability for our actions while we're here on earth.

I had a friend in Alcoholics Anonymous that told me about the requirement for believing in a higher power. I asked him what if the person was an atheist and he said that you could be your own higher power. I tried to explain to him that the meaning of the word "higher" precludes one from being higher than oneself but he didn't get it. This Freemasonry stuff sounds a lot like that. If you need to be told not to rape and murder people instead of just coming to that conclusion on your own, you might have deeper issues that joining a cult will only make worse.

Actually, Alcoholics Anonymous is a subset of Freemasonry. Their 12 step program, is called the 12 step program for a reason. 12 is a powerful number. Freemasons recognize this fact. The sun passes through 12 houses of the zodiac. Jesus had 12 disciples. There are 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night in a 24 hour day. There are 12 steps in the pyramid in the symbol of the great seal designed by the Freemasons and taken from the seal of the Illuminati in Bavaria in 1776. The 13th step is the eye, or the apex, the capstone.
The symbol for AA is a circle with a triangle inside it. That's very basic occultism for you. So occult that you never knew that it was a subset of Freemasonry.

You left out that there is twelve in a dozen. You can imagine the implications of that.

Yeah, I noticed my hasher at home which is on wired FIOS gets 0.3% stales while the ones at work are getting about 4% using a ethernet bridge or wireless adapter.  I guess latency has that effect.

Yeah, wireless is the killer for me. I haven't been able to get below 1% consistently, but I am also mining on my using-computer, so I am sure that contributes to the problem too. It always has higher stales than my dedicated miners.

Consider also that $0.011/kWh would be at or below the production cost of almost any hydroelectric dam in the world, including the Guri dam in Venezuela, which supplies 73% of the electricity in your country.

Thanks for the education of NORWAY not being on this planet. They get most of their power from dams, and the power costs often are in the 3 cents / kwh range. 11 is terribly high for hydro.

Noway's 2009 average price per residential kWh in 2009 was almost $.15us. Their industrial power isn't even close to 3 cents/kWh.

I am in a 800sqft space with 20ft ceilings and a 3 ton HVAC unit that now seems to run 24/7.

Holy shit dude...you could be fighting like, 30,000watts with that unit. You just need an exhaust solution, not a 3 ton compressor.

Hum, no. 1 ton of cooling is 3517 Watt.  So a 3-ton HVAC can cool about 10.6kW of equipment, or a bit more assuming heat loss in the server room.

Some use no HVAC to cool 10.6kW of equipment, but that's a completely different DC cooling strategy Smiley

Yes, and to fight watt for watt is moronic when simple flowthrough can handle the issue. Why run a huge compressor with your fans if the fans themselves can be sufficient? See smoked_out's post. Another option to increase efficiency would be to cool a small space with AC and draw air from the space, through the room, and out the exhaust. Look up the concept of a 'lung' for cooling indoor grows.

I cultivate medical cannabis for a neurological condition stemming from being hit by a drunk driver. If you are indeed from the southwest, you should be well aware of the existence of medical cannabis laws allowing for the safe and secure procurement and production of medication. No laws are being broken, no forum operator is at risk, nor am I at risk because of my garden. LE has seen it, chuckled about it with me, and gone on their day.

It's still illegal under US federal law, so I'd still err on the side of caution when it comes to talking about this on a public internet forum.

I think the federal government has bigger fish to fry than shaking down my personal garden. Look at icmag or weedtracker...talk is just talk, and an ip address is not a person, particularly on open wifi.

Has someone informed him already that he has the right to remain silent?

Maybe he got a lawyer or called a lawyer-friend. These types tend to shut you up real quick in your own interest.

I have been archiving his posts offline, because if lawyer-friend had any idea you could edit or delete your own postings here, that'd be the first thing any good lawyer-friend would recommend he do.

Also, the more I read about how Oregon law considers willful conversion of someone's property to be larceny or theft, the more I think it would be a fantastic idea to contact the police department local to him and explain to them exactly what's happened.  Particularly about the part about this guy parading that he took these bitcoins and converted them to cash.

You know, if Americans can be prosecuted for traveling abroad to commit sex crimes, we certainly can be prosecuted for committing crimes against foreigners while at home.  Nowhere in our laws is it stipulated that the victim of a crime has to be a citizen present on US soil.

Man, all these internet lawyers are comical. Do you think that anything said on an internet forum is worth the paper it's written on?

Ben Davis didn't receive those 511 coins, I did. I cashed them out on MtGox as soon as I saw them in my wallet, I called up Tom Williams and Bruce Wagner and we bought a bunch of unregistered handguns, cocaine and underage thai ladyboys, all of which are currently piled around me while I type this. Let me tell you, it's been a hell-of-a-couple-day-orgy.

I am pretty sure your case is solid, what with my confession and all. Call the internet police.

Its a 10" rhino carbon filter attached to a 12" Fan (1440m3) which is attached to a 10" silencer. Windows open in the room and that blows all the air out. The room is about 10-15m3!!! lol. Basically it sucks all the air in the room out in less than 30 seconds bringing new air through the windows. Attached to a tempreture controller at 20 degree Celcious. As i say, its just stuff i have hanging around Smiley

Why run the carbon scrubber? They are expensive as shit and for a whole different purpose.

Let's just say my experience is not in server cooling, but throttling a 12" fan to 10", particularly with a muffler, is costing you some electricity. It the controller a rheostat, or thermostat? You can throttle that centrifugal fan with a controller such as this: http://www.randmsupply.com/productdisp.php?pid=917&navid=33 and it'll tend to run more efficiently than hard stops and starts.

I also have a lot of HVAC stuff lying around...Wink

Carbon filter was lying around Wink Or not in use right now should i say Smiley And it protects against the blades on the fan which ARE DEADLY! Trust me, you want something there!!!. I use reducers from 12" off the fan to 10", why would this cost electricity? that makes no sense? haha. I use a propper fan controller i use for keeping rooms, well, the right tempreture.... Smiley It controls intakes and out takes every second and corrects the fan speed to the room tempreture you want. I deal with alot of heat in my work, so getting rid is something i do. Here.. http://www.growmorehydroponics.co.uk/sms-twin-fan-controller-241-p.asp Its the nuts Smiley

And hvac, Just too costly, at least for me running 11 cards presently. And as i said, i think my way will work just as good upto 40-50 GPU's with the right setup AND cost next to nothing to run. HVAC would cost more to setup as well. BUT... if you have it lying around.... Wink

I just meant that the carbon scrubber adds resistance, making the fan work harder. Same goes for a constricted pipe. A 12" fan is optimized for 12" ducting, restricting it causes the fan to work harder. It's probably relatively insignificant, but as you know, every watt counts. BTW, my last pull was .48gpw with AC and ventilation included.

That fan controller you linked is nice. I've got a buddy who runs their CO2 controller and swears by it.
