I can get a used NES at my local GameStop for $19.99...the original one. With two controllers. And Mario/Duckhunt. $1000 price tags mean sealed in the box.
That being said, I'm actually interested in your NES lol. How many games?
Also interested in any PS2 DDR games if they include the dance pad.
I have some PSX dance pads? And Konamix. |

Well I kind of see mining as farming - please excuse how random it is, I'm from Saskatchewan, Canada - pretty much the farming capital of the world.
Anyway, back in the day you could make a living off of a small amount of land. Now a days it's more and more bigger companies owning more pieces of land, and not many people can survive off of farming small time anymore, not like in the early 1900's.
However people who still own land (it's quite expensive as well, a quarter section goes for around $300k, a quarter section is equal to about 160 acres) seem to be renting it out to the bigger players and striking a deal with them, they get paid a certain % of the total yield of that land.
So, I predict mining will turn into how farming is now, except I'm not quite sure how renting land out to bigger plays will relate to mining, maybe smaller miners will rent their equipment out to bigger players for a certain % back? Who knows.
I don't think this is a good comparison. Maybe when it comes to pools this would work in a way but why would someone who can assemble his own chips and miners rent smaller miners? That wouldn't be too smart. I think it will stay as it is right now: Those who produce miners will have preorders, mine with their assembled miners until the ROI is destroyed or at a small margin and sell those miners off. This is the most profitable way. It might happen to the cryptocurrencies that those people leading bigger assets rent rigs or hashing powers from others but that is the only possibility i could think of. Not everything occuring in the natural world can be transferred to bitcoins and vice versa. (just my 2 Satoshi) Think of it this way - the value of the old farming land increases, therefore raising the barrier of entry to newcomers (IE people interested in mining, previously CPU or GPU accessibility was common place, ASIC is thousands bare minimum, barring the USB paperweights). The large entities have capital, or acquire it, or source it from smaller farmers who would traditionally harvest the land. Now the land is too expensive for traditional and small farmers to acquire it or the cost of business has risen to a point where scaling economics make more sense (again, GPU vs ASIC..). It made sense to me, though not exactly the way he concluded it. However, I do disagree with one point of analysis. As with the small family farmer, the small miner is slowly edged out of the field. Similarly, I do not see "small miners" renting anything to larger entities, rather if anything, they will find other methods to distribute their hardware to turn profit (like ASICMINER's "franchise", allowing a small farmer to get a piece of the pie if they grow the potato on their land, etc). A bit inverse. |

I came here because I thought this was a XPM oriented die game. Dismay.

The heart of the malicious Javascript was a tiny Windows executable hidden in a variable named “Magneto.” A traditional virus would use that executable to download and install a full-featured backdoor, so the hacker could come in later and steal passwords, enlist the computer in a DDoS botnet, and generally do all the other nasty things that happen to a hacked Windows box. Bold my emphasis. The malware requires Microsoft Windows in order to work. Still it would be a good idea for GNU / Linux users to not install Wine as an extra precaution. No, their code was targeted towards the windows platform. It doesn't mean windows is less secure, or their was some conspiracy on the part of microsoft. They targeted windows because it's the largest platform. How do you know that there is no conspiracy on the part of Microsoft? I am not saying there is a conspiracy on the part of Microsoft, I am simply saying that there could be. One thing is clear from the Snowden leaks is that there is very close cooperation between companies like Microsoft and various US Government agencies. It is to be considered, certainly. I have been warning for years based on suspicion and what appeared to me to be logic (as well as the natural progression of government/authority). Snowden sure did a hell of a lot better of a job getting the word out, however. I am no longer the 1984 "kook". |

I know a bit off topic, but I really love how you suggest some of these folks can be "found in the chat box" or "resident" of the box.. heh.
Hopefully this is resolved.
Heh indeed. I actually dropped by in chat and found those two. Now I have taken up residence there and scaring away everybody  I doubt this will be resolved; especially since they are blatantly claiming that it is resolved. Yes, the latter is not always the best indicator. I am keeping a six foot pole between myself and the current shady exchange goings on with more than just Coins-E. |

Ecommerce merchants account for over 90% of the business, including consumer electronics, precious metals and IT services. When I make a purchase decision I will give preference to a vendor that accepts Bitcoin payment. But I might not know which vendors accept bitcoins offhand and currently there is no directory of Bitcoin-accepting merchants that is anywhere near being comprehensive. When I use PayPal's new mobile app, for instance, I get a list of merchants nearby who accept PayPal for payment. This same type of location-aware directory is provided when I use Square, and also with Dwolla (called Dwolla Spots). There is no similar directory for Bitcoin (other than http://CoinMap.org which sources data from a small list of merchants added on OpenStreetmaps) -- something that is made even more complicated because there are multiple payment processors (BitPay's competitors) and also there's no requirement that a merchant even use a payment processor to accept Bitcoin for payment. At a minimum, it would be good for BitPay to publish their merchant directory (e.g., in a searchable directory, or an API accessible by mapping service even). Of course, not ever merchant wants to be included but for those who do it would be a valuable added service that BitPay could offer. Maybe you're familiar with this site, but I wasn't until I located it on accident: http://www.coinmap.org/I had no idea I could get dental work with BTC five minutes from where I'm sitting now. |

How long is it gonna be before this exchange gets hacked and everyone gets cleaned out? Love the idea but it needs some kind of backing to ease my mind.
Could be happening now! Well as of right now I can't withdraw my bitcoin.
It indicates upon withdrawing that mcxnow is down for maintenance, however every other page works...
Thoughts?
Deposits/withdrawal/trades are frozen while a security situation is investigated, so it seems. |
