Yes. Not only will your users cry foul when (not if) they find out, but it's a security risk: in the system you describe, an attacker who figures out how the closed-source program works can double his effective mining power.

Is this an X-Y problem? What are you really trying to do? Google's PageRank algorithm is only run on Google's own servers; end users never see the program in any form, closed or not. If you give your users a compiled binary, what's stopping anyone with a decompiler and other debugging tools from seeing how it works? If the program execution is under the user's control, closing the source won't actually keep any part of it secret.

I've got a tip for you: Stop spamming insubstantial posts. Otherwise you're likely to be banned from the forum, and then you can't collect on your signature campaign.

He's short, hence his username.

$500 by the end of the year, possibly even by the end of November. More cake!

That's just the ghosts' way of saying "Hey, you kids! Get off my lawn!"

That's only because most people in this section are trolls. Serious speculators make serious money on this sort of volatility.

What altcoin are you using where 0.00000999999974737875 is different from 0.00001? Bitcoin only uses 8 decimal places, which means double precision is good enough for any value up to 67,108,863.99999999, which is more than the number of bitcoins that will ever exist. This is likely intentional on Satoshi's part.

That's OpenDNS trying to inject its ads (which they said they stopped doing, but they didn't). It's not safe and you shouldn't use it. Use Google Public DNS instead. And fix your damn font.

What do you mean, what's going on? It's a full node. Full nodes relay all blocks, new and old. Blockchain.info receiving a block from a particular node has nothing to do with who mined it, it only tells you which node was lucky and/or fast enough to relay that block to Blockchain.info before other nodes.

What do you expect? The Press section is totally unmoderated. The occasional Viagra ad gets deleted, but I think that's only because the spambots get nuked after posting such ads to moderated sections. It's hard for me to even read it, since literally every topic-starter on the first page is on my ignore list for shitposting elsewhere. I'm starting to question why I even read this section at all.

Yeah, I thought we might be able to escape after losing only the exchange, but I can't see any way to avoid losing another piece. We can't win if we're down a whole rook for nothing. I resign.

We haven't actually agreed on whether votes to resign are valid. I suppose they are since nobody's objecting to resignation in the current position.

Ever since primitive Man discovered that some rocks are better at bashing things to death than other rocks and wanted to find out why, science has been an important part of human society. Mostly because it led to the invention of better rocks at a time when having good rocks was vital to survival. Sadly, this is no longer the case. In our modern society, people can survive and even prosper despite having a level of scientific ignorance that would embarrass a Neanderthal. This is why we must colonise space: to escape these idiots who are too stupid to even know they can follow us.

Nothing good would come of it. A child, even an infant, is much too large for effective microwave cooking. Microwave radiation only penetrates a few centimetres, so the interior will remain completely raw even as the skin is burnt to a crisp. To cook evenly, a child needs to be slow-roasted, which can't be done with a microwave. Sorry, but good food takes time.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

No.

That idea was stillborn, if was ever even conceived.

No.

Everyone can own such a device, if they want one. It is not always or even usually profitable, which is why not everyone wants one.

Equal share of what?

The world isn't perfect.

Okay?

You don't need to mine to own bitcoins.
