221  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 21dotco: A bitcoin miner in every device and in every hand on: May 19, 2015, 12:01:56 AM
The user will get a percentage of mined bitcoin.  And I believe the idea is that the hardware itself will be super cheap.  Like new moto x is $500.  Or $250 with bitcoin chip.  For example.

The problem is not hardware price, but energy costs. And the end user will lose more dollars in electricity bills than bitcoins from mining.

Battery life is a big problem for mobile phones too. Some modern smart phones are so power hungry they struggle to last a day without a recharge. If they start mining on battery power their batteries will probably go dead in far less than a day.

My iphone will lose about 30-40% battery in 1 day without me even using it let alone with a chip in it.

This all seems very illuminati like with how they are having secret meeting without anyone knowing.

No a actual bank has not been formed using bitcoin although even if there was bank they probably wouldn't give you interest.

For sure your four border states are not going to vote weed legal, because of the horrific power it'd give the Mexican cartels to move right into the USA.  But all power to DC, Colorado, etc...

Can I question that? It seems to me that if one of those states legalized pot, the primary loser would be the Mexican cartels. The illegal status of MJ is essential for their survival. If I were a drug lord I would donate millions to any candidate that will fight to keep MJ illegal. It would be a disaster if people could grow their own.

Okay, let me translate that.  Lower PRICES for weed would be a proportional loss for the cartels.

But aren't we seeing, not lower but higher prices?  That's what I read at least about legal weed in Colorado. 

And believe me, you do not want these cartel gangsters positioning themselves at the borders of say, Texas and Arizona....this has nothing to do with weed being legal or illegal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Drug_War

By the end of Felipe Calderón's administration (2006–12), the official death toll of the Mexican Drug War was at least 60,000.[79] Estimates set the death toll above 120,000 killed by 2013, not including 27,000 missing.[80][81]


No, there is near universal agreement that the black market is what elevates price. It was true with alcohol prohibition and it's the same with drugs. The illegality makes it profitable for those who are willing to take the risk, or have the firepower to be untouchable.

The price could go up though if the state or federal government is taxing it enough.
Seems like I mentioned that earlier, but the legal price in Colorado is several times the illegal street price.  I don't live there and don't know the specifics ... and I don't use weed anyway, but it is quite interesting.

Oh sorry id didn't read all of these post since the thread is so big. I believe that making it legal would hurt cartels but my point is the price could be more costly due to regulations and the grower making superior quality weed.

Considering that the United Kingdom is the political correctness capital of the world, I think they will soon rename the street to "Gaylove's Way" or "Uranus Way". No surprise that hundreds of thousands of British citizens (mostly the highly skilled ones) are permanently emigrating to Australia and New Zealand every year.

Europe is just as politically correct as all of Britain maybe even more so with France.

Have you guys ever had the misfortune of watching BBC Question Time?

No but have you ever heard of Sweden or Germanys laws regarding speech.

Well, to be fair, all the major parties in Britain are in favor of total surveillance. Unfortunately they read Orwell's 1984 as a manual, not a warning.

It's not this way in spite of the British people. The British people are mostly in favor of total surveillance and absolute state control as well, at least based on their voting patterns.

Conclusion: British people are fucking dangerously stupid.

The 2 parties in America are not as different as they would like you to believe.

232  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Honduran government to use Factom's Blockchain application as title registry on: May 15, 2015, 11:31:25 PM
"Honduras, one of the poorest countries in the Americas, has agreed to use a Texas-based company to build a permanent and secure land title record system using the underlying technology behind bitcoin."

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/honduras-build-land-title-registry-using-bitcoin-technology-162701917.html#khm0E3T

If you'd gone back to 2012 and back and suggested the blockchain would be used by a national government within three years in a vital capacity you would almost certainly have had your bottom spanked.

Is there really much point in squealing about $5 price movements up or down at the moment?





i think that every day when i read the latest BTC news....NASDAQ....  Cheesy  Smiley

Yeah look at the dow it gains or loses like 200 points a day.

The point of banks is to hold your money somewhere safe and be able to gain interest from that.

If your country is to rest anywhere within of the highlighted earth-centered region above, it is to rest within the imperium of Great Empire of Earth.

Are those the only unclaimed territories left on earth.
