If the UK leaves the EU, German companies in the UK (that means about a half of the remaining UK industry) have to pay taxes in the UK instead of pumping the money to home. Merkel would be furious. That would screw the financial backing of her savage breeding programs, so she would surely unleash her Tigers Leopards... in worst case she might even unleash all three Leopards what they haven't already sold for scrap. Terrifying outlook. Isn't it?

Like it or not banks will jump on blockchain technology, not for distracting the more naive bitcoiners but because of it's useful for them.

Probably she still not get it what is this Internet thingy at all .

He can come here and prove his claim in an open and honest manner. Until that not happened I considering this whole "breaking new" thingy as yet another rumour.

It would be a nice feature for bitcoin if I could choose who should process my transactions. That would give us full financial freedom and that would be the end for BitFury like "traitors".

Just a quick question. If you have "televisions, furniture, jewelry" why you don't visit the nearest pawn shop? That's a lot quicker and easier.

WAVES is still in ICO status at this moment, the devs do not even have a solid launch date yet. The planned launch for the testnet is "2016 Summer", therefore the live launch could be anytime in Q3-Q4. Also the WAVES guys probably going to restore the account in the case of "forgotten password" or "hacked PC" if the original owner can prove ownership by sending a message signed with the wallet from what he made the original payment. No offence to OP but this collateral is pretty much the same as e.g. a Steam account or something similar, so be careful.

If you can encourage spending - therefore wider distribution - instead of hoarding then yes, that would be interesting and a valuable feature. Perhaps demurrage (or negative PoS "earnings") on long held coins (like freicoin), combined with "Proof of time connected" to reward stable nodes and PoW for transaction processing. I'd also put a Proof of Service into it, what would reward real word services according to customer feedback and also could be a sort of escrow service.

Being close to something and actually delivering that something are two different things. I do not dispute that maidsafe is a pretty interesting stuff with a good potential, but again, potential and actual usage are two different things. As you can see from the price the majority tend to agree with my views .

Dream on . Bitcoin is the only trusted crypto today. If it falls, the trust in the technology itself will fall, and it will take many years to rebuild that. Maybe in 10 years when other coins gained traction, you will be right but not in these days.

It's a bit too early to bury ETH yet. Until the devs and the ETH community keep delivering something what might or might not useful (updates, dapps, contract templates, whatever) they can keep alive the feeling of "one day in the future ETH will be the next big thing". People like religious stuff, especially if it promises physical wealth in a few months or years instead of something distant otherworldly spiritual wealth .

No, it's not undervalued. It worth exactly what people willing to pay for it without having working services behind it. When it will have real, working, widely used services then it will worth more. But not yet.

Indeed, backing a coin with a commodity isn't an easy business and mostly needs to be centralized. There was one notable exception: URO coin what was backed by urine (it's actually a valuable raw material https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urine#Uses) what is a rather distributed method . URO later turned out to be a scam - maybe the devs developed kidney problems and had had some difficulties with backing their product - but still the best and most community driven approach what I've seen . Also liked the idea of pissing money .

How you can "inject" the tipping app/script on Youtube or on other social media sites? Browser addon?

As I read since the start of the troubles there internet prices increased a lot and the connectivity isn't good at all, but bitcoin doesn't need a high speed connection if you don't want to sync the blockchain. In addition, as someone mentioned earlier it's a lot safer than carrying cash or precious metals.

OK. You persuaded me. Faucets are are really wasting of time . Even a noob friendly signature campaign paying more per comment that clicking through 400 sites (+ bonus) as I see .
Anyway if you start your site you will see from where most of your clicks are coming. After running it for a few weeks you can see who are your "income generators" and who are the "ballast". Then you can optimize your site accordingly. That 40 sats per click bonus most likely will give you some competitive advantage over other sites If you do some good marketing.

Here's an other one after giving a hand to friend with fixing his laptop:

Thou shalt not touch HP Pavilion laptops... :/

To OP. This is a way too mechanical view, what ignores the psychological impact of the halving.

Well, actually Pax Romana is also a sort of peace, just at first you have to get rid of those who could break that peace...

Perhaps they were also deemed to be too dangerous to taken out and let them to blend among civilized people .
