Obviously this is a two-way price and you'll buy at $25/BTC as well.

So, air is cheap, water moderate, well I suppose I'd better go for SODIUM as an expensive option.

A great metal, liquid at modest temperatures, electromagnetic pumping, terrific thermal conductivity, used on some of the best nuclear reactors (low pressure so doesn't go bang like TMI, Chernobal or Fukushima).

I was hunting for something earlier today and stumbled on it.  Not something I would every try - it has an annoying association to a certain company.

Damn right!

I'd also like to chime in with a "what a dumb post" comment.  There were 360,000 BTC purchased in the last 24 hours.  That's people bailing in, not necessarily bailing out.

That would be some time on the 21st then?  Still a week to go.

I think that becomes important when considering start-up conditions.  For instance, when you turn on an incandescent lamp, the current changes as the filliment warms up.  A * t^-2 

And picking up on the thermal conductivity post of a few days ago, at aluminium smelters, power outages are a problem because as the metal cools, it takes more energy (current) to reheat - another kw/time measure.

The short answer is probably blame the boffins - they have a measurement for everything.

Just for a practical application, power station ramp rates are quoted in MW per hour.  For example, a hydro power station might be rated at 3000 MW per hour.  That means a 600 MW plant can go from zero to 600 MW in 10 minutes.

So kilowatts per hour is a valid measure in this case.

capacity is in watts or a multiple thereof, like kilowatts
energy consumed adds a time element giving kW * h

Because most measurement systems are looking for total over time (like a month or year) and consumption or supply is no consistent you get load factor and average kilowatts and total kWh. 

In AC systems there is also power factor to consider (leading or lagging voltage and current phases), so more correctly it is kVA rather than kW.

However, when referring to the more obscure measurements, it is not correct to say that such and such a measurement does not exist.  One example is cubic acres (a six dimensional value) and this is perfectly allowable (although odd) when describing volume variance.  So having kW * h^-1 may have relevance in the right context.

You do not need to lose money for it to be a scam.  One part of the illegality is actually on the front page of the solidcoin page "earn money . . . no startup investment".

There are other aspects of SC that breach the laws in the host jurisdiction, including the similarities to a pyramid scheme (that lovely "tax" function) in the way it's being done, but that's just part of the overall picture.

Psy - nice reference, but the "windmills" is only a page and a half in Don Quixote.

Oh great, now I'm zero for 4, I'd have to get a phone that does apps - currently it makes phone calls. (yes it has other stuff, but it's a phone).

Life isn't fair.  so?

lol - well, if I every take up clubbing, drugs or become homosexual, I'll be sure to take my i0coins with me.  At the moment I'm 0 for 3.

Maybe you should re-title as "sore loser" alert.  I read the other thread and wouldn't come out with a scammer label like that.  You tried some tricks, and it wasn't appreciated by someone trying to run something sensible.  You didn't just piss off "Jeremy West" but probably all the other bidders and people who read the thread.  However, I than you for the warning not to deal with <user>=Inaba.

Sometimes being a smart arse is just that, an arse. 

Nostalgia?  Actually, I don't know. 

lol - without these threads, my morning coffee would require me to read something much more dull, like Italian bond yields or Greek politics (or worse, domestic politics).  Perhaps Sarah Palin could be encouraged to run for pres is she had SC backing (that would provide entertainment for the whole world).

On that basis, banning the knights of SC would be bad.

A new name to this entertaining microcosm, although not to the boards.  Welcome.

As an aside, if you look at Psy's posts, they are anti Bitcoinexpress rather than pro-solidcoin.  They (Psy) made that point a week or so ago, thought I would add it back.

Working out the change from Bulanula is harder (there was a shift, but I never worked out quite what happened), but Spacy is a die-hard.

flame flame (EVEN SOME CAPS) where's the I0coin price - grump grump

(yeah, it's late here, and the list is quite interesting and funny at the same time)
