Just write to them again with what markj113 mentioned. He's clearly ripping you off with reasons that he can't use for dispute. If he wants to return it he should be compensating you for shipping and loss of revenue due to his lack of research. He knew (or should have known) how loud the miner is.

I think life was created by a universe - without any god, without any creator .
If the universe created life, then the universe would be the creator.

So since trillionaires are almost a given in the coming decades, how much longer do you think until the global economy could feasibly produce the first quadrillionaire?
I am saddened to know that I will never become more than a billionaire   Cry
Are you that old? Or just no ambition to try and shoot higher?
There is no hard limit to how much one bitcoin can be worth, but there is a soft limit. And I only have so many of them.
So it's the latter (aka no interest to invest, trade, or start ventures).
Sure, maybe, but that's not really my thing.

My basic life thesis is that humans are not biologically and psychologically designed to work nearly as much as we do. That's why I went all in on bitcoin in the first place, to make enough money so I wouldn't have to work and could focus on my hypothetical future family, because that's what kids need to develop properly. They need their parents around. So if it's a choice between having enough money to support a woman and five kids, or having twice as much money and seeing them a quarter as much, then it's an obvious choice.
How are we not designed to work 24/7? That's what people were doing when they lived in the woods and that has changed only fairly recently as far as I'm aware.

I do share the sentiment of making sure to have enough money to be able to freely ignore the world whenever I choose to. But I don't see myself not spending most of my time working on something, regardless of whether or not normal people would consider it work. I find picking up instruments and composition, science, cooking, investing, traveling and whatever else highly interesting. So the reason for me wanting full financial independence for life would be to the ability to learn and experience as much as I possibly can. And while I really want kids that I can homeschool and learn stuff with together, I'd need to make sure that the wife was perfect for that kind of lifestyle. Don't want someone nagging all day about how they know better when they don't.
But in either case, whatever you do, unless you're just consuming 24/7 you'd be "working" in my book. Life seems more of a choice between doing something fulfilling and mindlessly playing along.

Indeed, we are inside an engineered structure.

This is nothing spectacular. Bible believers and many others have known this for thousands of years. Look at the first chapter in the Bible. The only people who haven't know it are the evolutionists and big bang believers.

Cool
Big Bang, Evolution and being within an engineered structure are not mutually exclusive.

It was a private sale, so you're not obligated to accept any returns.

at time that i bouhgt cl they were .27 per coin, so they are charging like $80 flat withdraw fee, wow that is just criminal
looks like no airdrop for me lol to send 2000 CL i would be losing 300 to HITBTC fee, unbelievable

I, too, lost my CL tokens. Moreover, I did not see a warning about such a large commission in advance on the website of the HITBTC. This is robbery.
Isn't HitBTC that scam exchange?

This small increase in its value in fact is warm up in preparation for next rally. This is fixed way how these altcoins markets works first Bitcoin has started to move it will reach at some floor then a quick increase here. It is kind of double impact on these which pushes them at new all time high after every extreme change in them prices.
The increase is due to BTC pumping. The BTC valuation is largely constant. When the cards come out we should see at least past USD ATHs again though, and if we go past that revisiting BTC ATHs would be feasible for prices of ~$24 to $60 respectively.

Perhaps 2018 is bitcoin's 1994.
...By 1998 things had changed alot.  Win 95/98 IE/Netscape made it much more useful and simple to use the internet and sites began to proliferate.  I had dropped out to take a 35k job at a search engine optimization company (which seemed like alot at the time) that quickly went out of biz, but my connections from that job led to other connections that have kept me working for the 20 years since.

tldr; if it's 1994,  buckle up, things will be unrecognizable in 4 years.

What would be our Netscape moment? Or AOL temporary dominance?
Is Lightning a.k.a Netscape (without the IPO) and is Coinbase/Binance/Bitfinex, perhaps, the AOL equivalent?
Or, would it be something else out of left field?

If I would guess, this. There is this accelerated curve(parabolic) of technology and innovation that has occured over the last 50 years. This snowball effect will continue until the Singularity.

I can remember clearly the first time I shilled the internet. It was at my friends printing shop..you know..the kind with a actual 3 color offset press...not a photocopier...anyway. I was helping him set up a basic db for hes revolving accounts on DOS 3.something and telling him the benefits he would receive if he would just upgrade from a 14.4k to a 28.8k modem.   Cheesy  
I don't see a singularity putting a stop to the snowball effect. It's "just" an event comparable to going from apes to humans, but there'll be new problems that will take decades and centuries to solve.

A singularity doesn't just imply an explosion of productivity and capacity, or I guess you could state it that way. But that would also entail the capacity to produce problems that are far beyond the reach of a society that is well into the singularity.

If we think of teleportation or FTL travel we can't even really begin to fathom how to construct a practical solution. And while those problems may or may not become trivial with a singularity event, there'd surely be problems of similar status for a post-singularity society.

I've been meaning to ask, but what is the product series in your avatar?

The only things that come to mind are sine and cosine, but those are sums and have 2pi in their summands. So I thought it could be something along the lines of a log of a negative exponential due to the -1 factor that doesn't appear in the standard expression for the exponential series and the product could've been a result of a logarithm.

it is the series for a function I discovered that has some useful and interesting properties. PM me if you want to know any more.
PM sent.
1774  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ANN [MCO] MONACO #1 Cryptocurrency Payments Card on: February 16, 2018, 10:10:29 PM
Anybody know the exact details about when the card release will be made available? I'm getting tired of waiting. The team should make it known to us whether or not we're getting our cards soon.
The exact details are: Asia/Europe shipping in Q1, before the Money 20/20 Asia event on March 13th to March 15th. US rollout in Q2. All written on the last page and freely available in their Q&As.

With the arrival of the information age I think we have produced way more smart people than ever before. The internet has become such a powerful tool to educate yourself, anybody with an cellphone has a tremendous amount of knowledge in their pocket. Too bad many people choose to not use it to it's fullest potential.

you might be confusing 'smartness' with something else entirely ... idiots educated beyond the level of their intellectual capacity is not a new phenomena .... probably the internet has just created a swag more of these dangerous fools .... case in point take jbreher with his dunning-kruger tendencies now leading him to write in overly-eloquent verbiage to convey trivial, and usually erroneous, meandering thoughts; then hops on his high-horse about a computer science and networking design matter that is clearly well-outside his grasp, and follows up to defend his bruised ego by championing a cause that is clearly to his economic detriment ... that fact alone encapsulates educated beyond their intelligence.

But that wouldn't really make sense either, unless you were deliberately trying to create a series that looks complicated, makes some references, but ultimately is just a fancy way to write something like "1".

Don't really feel like refreshing my analysis to figure out the limit of the series, hence my question.

Even when ignoring the fact that you have provided absolutely no logical reasoning for your claims, it's still completely nonsensical. The whole market took a nosedive. And given the current situation, even if the crypto bear market continues throughout February, MCO is bound to be one of those that would turn bullish due to the 20/20 sponsorship and card release.
Why are you copy/pasting my comment? Botched up a quote or post farming?

We need a third layer solution with a stable unit of account.  Or a way of using Lightning but pricing everything in local currrency so it is fully automated and no one has to think in BTC or Satoshis. 
I actually expect the latter to happen in one form or another. The blockchain being the backbone of the financial world, but the mainstream believing that they are still using fiat. People don't like instability and uncertainty, even if it's beneficial to them.
1778  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: ANN [MCO] MONACO #1 Cryptocurrency Payments Card on: February 16, 2018, 09:53:09 PM
I believe it does. If I recall correctly Asia and Europe were rolling out together in Q1 (before the Money 20/20 event).


Which is the exact date of this Money 20/20 event? We should have news in a couple of days I think.
March 13th to March 15th.
1779  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 16, 2018, 09:51:01 PM
In terms of awareness it is probably 1998 but adoption wise it is probably around 1995 with just the university kids on the Net. Cool colleagues have just started trading crypto but the rest is still ignoring it. Some probably will the rest of their lives  Grin
I'm not even sure if the mainstream will get into crypto the same way as us. I could see them using it as a replacement for Paypal and credit cards in the "far" future or in some more sophisticated form of cryptokittes. But the general population isn't into risks, especially if they aren't very obvious and layed out for you as if you were braindead (like modern games). And crypto is inherently fuzzy and unpredictable without an understanding of real world Economics or at least Statistics.

You could visit a mining site and go down haha. How flat do the believers think the world is? Is it supposed to be 2 dimensional or are they saying its a few miles wide or what?
I actually never heard about how they think about the depth of earth.

@Batman: Can you dig "through" earth and fall off?
