Even a mid-rang DSLR can produce some nice shots and then add some post-processing to jazz it up. Here is an example I took using my Canon 600D.

Australia because;
1. The federal government have declared btc / crypto a legal currency.
2. The Australian Taxation Office treats btc as per fiat.
3. Trust already exists between Australian banks and existing btc exchanges.
4. Melbourne, Australia is already a btc hub for software developers.
5. Australia has a healthy btc economy e.g. you can buy 4wd racing cars right through to a cup of coffee on a smart phone QR reader
6. Cool people reside in Australia, namely me   

Invest in your own power supply for mining rigs and anything is profitable over an extended peroid (post power source payment).

I started BTC mining in 2010 and poured my 1st gen of profits into a 1.5kW solar panel array for my house. That was when GPUs were profitable and ASICs were stilla pipe dream.

With the advent of current ASICs, a hybrid power source (300W solar + 300W wind turbine) for about $500 will see you with an independent power supply. Set up your miner via an UPS, I got 3 for $1 each on evil bay (2nd hand), and use the RS232 interface to wake & sleep your mining rigs based on battery power levels. Depending on your current draw, you could get 24 hours use for something like a 30GHs R-box or 12~18 hours for a couple of mining setups.

Sounds like something I heard from a young lady on a street corner once   

Orders are out for last week...orders opened for this week now.

unlike fiat, there are no central organisations looking to 'take the cash'. End result being less BTC on the open market and therefore price rises

in the start up command line you need to add 
--anu-freq xxx

were xxx is the desired frequency. Default freq is 270.

I started running mine at 280 last week and is stable, hash rate and temp, so might bump it up some more.

If developers think 800MB is acceptable and trending higher is expected, how in hell does the BTC community expect to become an everyday mobile app for commerce?

nice venture...solar, wind or going to University / College were elec cost is included in boarding fees?

Is this sig plan still active and what has people success/failure rate been like?

Did I read the optutline correctly - max of 0.01BTC per WEEK paid weekly!

In breaking news, a US hedge fund has refused a deal with the Argentina Government thereby forcing them into a debt default. Consequences are that a handful of businessmen are forcing  several million people into a deeper recession.

I smell a chance for BTC to push ahead in a similar manner as to Cyprus.

Bump

Back when this thread started, BTC was only $10~$40 each. Given an Aerospace Engineer typically earns $60~$100 per hour, the rates charged at time of writing were cheap.

Canada was setting up a state run crypto currency called MintChip - I think it went on hold due to pressure from the US Govt.

Fiat risks in Portugal deepens with $550B targeted for longer term refinancing which means government backed banks are planning a bail out by the general citizens.

Do you offer an affilate option...I have some anime pvt torrent invites

Great idea. Do you ship to Australia?

With an Engineering background of over 20 years in high tech aspects of the Australian defence sector (e.g. Electronic warfare, aviation & armour) as well as Autonomous mining, I have launched into writing fictional ebooks in these genres.

Also being a bitcoin 'early adopter' since about 2010~2011, I accept BTC / LTC for these novels. I am currently in the process of developing a 'crypto point of sale' on my blog however until this is up and running, I am processing direct sales.

Please have a look at my smashwords https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/shaynetwright collection or my blog www.shaynetwright.wordpress.com to preview the novels then contact me with a PM if you like what you see and want to purchase.

Excerpts:
Cyber Nightmares #1: For the sake of nine million. --- FREE
A hi-tech cyber-criminal outfit, an underground gas storage facility and blackmail… Chris Whiteman and the Australian Computer Emergency Response Team might be ready but are they able?

Cyber Nightmares #2: Autonomous Chaos --- 0.01BTC
A rising power block fuels the flames of global cyber-warfare, the Australian outback is the newest battleground. The war of ones and zeroes spirals out of control, autonomous train operations for the iron ore super-pits of Western Australia are targeted for chaos. To the victor go the spoils, economic prosperity or financial ruin, which will it be?

Nature Abhors a Vacuum --- 0.005BTC
As winter grips New York, three newly homeless men descend into the cities dank underbelly in search of shelter. Mike, Leroy and Miguel discover that the upper sewer system is already overpopulated and are forced to descend lower into the cities bowels. Urban legends eagerly await the arrival of fresh flesh... Will any of them survive another winter?

Sisters of Salvation: Cult of Z --- 0.005BTC
The Sisters of Salvation, an 800 year old militant order within the Teutonic Knights, stand as the last line of defence for the human soul. Mother Superior Katherine Drexel has received reports, via the confessional intelligence network, that the most vile Cult of Z has arisen. All will have their faith tested however the Zombie hordes shall be halted! Well, that is the plan...

I like the logic.

Every week I get asked by another few people about this BTC-thingy and how it works. I commonly tell them it is like an open bank ledger with miners performing the work of a banking mainframe, balancing the books. They want to know the advantage for them, I respond with practically zero fees or forex costs when purchasing from overseas - saving around 9% by $AU > $US (3%) + Credit card fee (3%) + bank processing fee (3%). After that talk, they generally want to sign up...
