I give you http://www.torcoinfaucet.com

I'll gladly change it around with your input, including values of the faucet drips, how often, and any design thoughts. Feel free to PM me

Right now it'll pay out every hour a small amount.

The singularity should be hitting around 20 years from now, probably from some specialized mining for an alt coin. At that point I don't think bitcoin will really matter

There are a variety of cam girl sites that take bitcoin, how is this not already covered?

I haven't seen any reports of anyone getting their money lately. A number of people won, got refunds, and then it appears alpha's bank accounts started being empty.

The alpha miner has no overheating problem... since it doesn't exist

Spicer and other white house PR has now been spinning that since Trump used quotes around "wiretap" in 2 of the 4 tweets that he didn't mean specifically wire tapping of phones but the whole NSA/CIA is spying on everyone abuse of surveillance. Sure it took a week for them to start saying that, and forget he specifically mentioned phones. Facts don't mean much to this administration.

An employee of my family's business (Hardware, Plumbing and HVAC) stole a lot of things over time. His roommate eventually turned him in. Some items had serial numbers which could be tracked to prove they were stolen. The police confiscated everything he had stolen and said after the trial we'd get the things back.

After the trial we contacted the police about the items, they said they had already sold them at an auction.  We didn't even get back what they had earned at auction.

Be careful just passing anyone you wallet.dat, that gives them your bitcoin. I'd suggest sticking to self help walkthroughs you can do yourself before resorting to possibly losing your coins. 

Not to say the offers to help aren't genuine, they very well may be. However caution is warranted.

Here's what I changed to allow easybitcoin-PHP which doesn't require changing the php.ini for fopen. Bitcoin's dev wiki recommends not using jsonrpc directly and suggests easybitcoin-PHP.

The easybitcoin library
https://github.com/aceat64/EasyBitcoin-PHP


Add the library to the project :

In common.php
include('easybitcoin.php');

Remove the old
#include('jsonRPCClient.php');



In wallet/classes/Client.php

Change Row 12 :
               $this->jsonrpc = new jsonRPCClient($this->uri);
to
                $this->jsonrpc = new Bitcoin($user, $pass, $host, $port);

You will have to allow fopen in your php.ini

I remember getting 0.2 BTC from an early faucet when it wasn't worth anything, a faucet used purely to get more people involved.

Nowadays a BTC faucet is meant to be profitable. If you figure the faucet earns an average income of a few pennies per 1000 ad impressions, you'll be earning less than 1/1000 of a penny from that faucet.  That's a lot of faucet visits to make just a penny.

However some faucets can be amusing, some do a sweepstakes style one bigger winner an hour or whatnot. If you want to use a faucet look for the entertaining ones.

Are these people trolling or are they just tossing out tech terms they know nothing about?

Unless someone is on the Internet already then a proxy, VPN, HTTP, etc won't work.


For totally free stop at any coffee shop / place to eat / library. Many cities also offer some sort of free service.  Do a search for "Free wifi near me" and there are websites dedicated to this.

While not illegal here the states I do notice that even recent media reports about Bitcoin talk about it being used for illegal purposes.  Lately this seems to be the news :

Bitcoin hit a new record high
Bitcoin is a digital currency that can be used for anonymous drug purchasing.


Forget all the regular day to day stuff the bulk of bitcoin transactions account for, let's focus on the few instances of bad.

INTJ here.

Crypto can be a logic puzzle for us INTJ to figure out how all the pieces fit together.

I loved seeing the GameBoy space shuttle taking off when you beat the final level. It felt like work to actually get that.

There have been various voting methods proposed by some of the top schools in the country. None have been implemented that I know of.

The whitehouse now says that trump didn't mean actually wiretap. He meant Obama had gone overboard on his surveillance like the latest wikileaks shows.  This was supposedly obvious because 2 out of the 4 tweets about wiretapping said "wire tapped"  in quotes.

It's taken them over a week to figure this was the best spin

http://www.BumbaPorn.com has been updated, live video feed on the page now.

The AWS downtime made a few hiccups, things should be fine now. If not send me a PM and I'll sort you out

It's been decades since the last "top secret" plane became common knowledge. The B2B Spirit flying wing was the last that I recall.

I can only assume there's a variety of secret planes flying out of Area 51 that would look like an alien craft because it's never been seen before.
