The worst part is generating the plots, which is constant writing up to the specified plot size. Once the plots are generated, usage is minimal. If I remember correctly, 256KB will be read per plotted GB for each block, trying to find the right value to unlock a block. My main rig has 20TB plotted in it, each block change brings about a new 5000MB disk read.

WhistleCoin? Double ninja launch occurs when the one is not enough.

Seems like a "long list of viorcoin features" got stuck for ideas

It's called herd psychology - when some respectful members appear, someone may want to consider this as big investors interest.

Say they open up the flood gates and allow for insurance providers to sell across state lines, but Obamacare is repealed or fundamentally changed as the GOP would like. Insurance providers would begin to migrate to states with very little regulation on coverage, pay-outs, and the like.
Now you as a healthy person would snatch up this now much cheaper plan because you have very little to worry about, but the sick person wouldn't have that option because these now un-regulated insurers would refuse to cover them or propose they pay in excess of $30,000 a year for coverage. This leaves sick people scrounging the bottom of the barrel for health insurance that would more than likely be lacking.

I dated a girl from Nigeria for a few years and her and her sister talked about One timers. Supposedly people being kidnapped and sold to Voodoo practitioners. Is this real? If so what do you know about it?

Same! i think it's about how if all banks were actually like this then there would be a lot less motivation behind blockchain in use for currency, but they aren't, so there is.

I've experienced a very nice passive profit thanks to the bullrun the dollar is experiencing (I've stayed mostly in fiat since the China bans), I began trading in usd for liquidity and I stayed because it's appreciation against the EUR was an unexpected nice side effect.

I think that even with wealth inequality, poor people now are still better off than poor people 100 years ago. the issue that I have is that wealth inequality shifts us away from a meritocracy. If you are born rich you have access to better schools, more money to invest, and a culture that encourages growth. Being born poor means lower-grade schools and less of a chance to really push forward. This, I believe (I could be wrong), leads to an inefficiency. Instead of say 100 people in the position to realize great ideas we would now only have 10. This leads to stagnancy.

Yup, no buy support, sell orders near 1 satoshi.

Cool news. Keep up the good work.

Excoin.in growing popularity, you probably should get in touch with them.

What will be the update?

People seem to be wanting at least an anonymous messaging service (or at least *ahem* secret  )

If you could advertise this app as a messaging service (rivaling Skype, WhatsApp, Snapchat, etc.) from the anonymous/encrypted angle. This app could skyrocket to popularity since people are worried all about their privacy now (Facebook Messenger, NSA, etc.)  Especially if you could integrate the way the app "Secret" worked this app has a real bright future for the fans of the App.

I guess air roads will be considered important and widely celebrated, until they need more gravel for a new parking somewhere in the vicinity.

When the cops are allowed and even encouraged to lie to people to obtain "confessions" and statements, the answer is a resounding YES!

Pretty nice shirt.

That's why I always have some sort of screen lock on. Not saying that makes it any more okay that the CHP did that

You are protecting other people by buying health insurance. Hospitals are required to provide emergency care regardless of insurance status. You're protecting others from footing your medical costs. Even if you don't have medical coverage outright, you're still de-facto covered under some circumstances. The mandate fixes this loophole.

The media knows that comparing Obama to Nixon is a sign of distaste and loathing of which the only equal is comparing Obama to Hoover (another Republican blamed by Democrats for everything under the sun). Yet Obama said, essentially, what Nixon said: “If the president does it, that means it’s not illegal.” Where’s the media hatred towards the authoritarian, ignorant Obama who sounds no better than Nixon and performs no better than Hoover. Bias is the answer; projected bias.
