why dev dont pay 5BTC and go to Bittrex ?

So that you can dump your holdings on a well known exchange? Bittrex should add this coin for its own sake. I don't understand why tonych should pay for it.

I like the tyres recycling possibilities very much. It seems the best way to recycle and build resistant houses' foundations in areas where earthquakes are common

Dude the tires is amazing I can tell you it's 20 minutes per tire pounding dirt. My friends dad built one. In Mexico we have very cheap labor so if you pay by the tire like a dollar a tire you will get your house built and a very large one built for a couple thousand. For a few hundred per wall spray on stucco for a nice finish and protect against offgassing.

My other favorites on the list are Expandable Chinese Shipping Container homes that slide out in both directions. You can get a set of 2 houses for 5,000 USD and each one is 15 ft by 20 ft roughly. Shipping was about 1500 or so.

Also I like Cob 3d dirt printing. I also dedicated an entire section to aircrete and i can see it being mixed with flyash(which is recycled). You can mix with hemp for ultra strength. The aircrete was so inspirational that I bought the machine and have had long talks with the guy from Gibran center.

Compressed earth bricks are great but they need to cure for a few weeks. Unless you buy the very expensive horizontal press and those can and should be dry stacked because they are uniform height. Interlocking bricks is a gimmick use rebar instead. I think if you've got 20k the horizontal press pays for itself. I think that is the one that makes uniform bricks.

Earth bags are good but getting those very long bags is actually hard to find and not as cheap as it looks. It requires a little research.

But those are some of the best ones. However they are all so exciting and this research will take me a year to finish.

I'm trying to find a clear "winner". Tires is definitely up near the top. But CEB 3d printing Aircrete Cob and inflatable forms are also very interesting.

Dirt homes have the best advantages for insulation being resistant to pests and being free and locally sourced. Which also makes underground options interesting if a flooding technique is found that is cheap.

This is where money comes into existence: it would be good if the Bitbay decentralized marketplace started to be used as a way to let these things happen. Wouldn't it be awesome?
By the way, I've started studying how to build eco-buildings from scratch. Yurt is my favorite so far...

I'm happy for more sideways till mid feb, then moon pls  Smiley

Looks like we could still drop a bit more before any big moves up though (roughly, $850 or so)
Current price is not bad at all : It's good to consolidate our positions and holdings. We have to wait a bit more for the moon and as you say some price drops/corrections could still happen hopefully not below that level.

3128  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-01-25]Bitcoin trading in yuan drops as new transaction fees by exchanges on: January 28, 2017, 09:05:42 AM
so if the data is fake, i wonder how much total bitcoin number that have been mining and how much bitcoin in number which already distributes in the market. with many of fake data, is there any correction for the total bitcoin number? i am curious with the data and i want to know more.

Bitcoin supply doesn't depend on trading volume. Don't be confused. Bitcoin mined are 16,129,887 (as I write). They can't be more than that: they could be less for a variety of reason (lost keys, compromised wallets, coins burnt etc.)
Bitcoin mined are equal to the available supply but consider that exchanges treat your coins differently and therefore, after what happened in China recently, we will not see fake volumes for a while.

Lucky guy  Grin

While Bitcoin has starred in a series of horror stories about wasted retirement funds and lost fortunes due to its notorious unpredictability, one man from California lucked out big time on his recent house purchase – and all thanks to the popular cryptocurrency.
Speaking to Bloomberg Markets, Bitpay CCO Sonny Singh told an intriguing story how Bitcoin’s volatility accidentally helped the buyer in question take home a profit of approximately $1.3 million during the exchange from the cryptocurrency to American dollars.

Finally, after Chinese inspections Bitcoin will be more decentralized.


Could you please elaborate more? Why is that?
Think you got something wrong here.

Can we please moderate paid Press Releases: they usually turn out to be scams. There should be a rule about that since a PR does not provide any news. It's paid for a purpose......

Thanks!

I'm not NewsBTC's attorney but if one does not understand what a sponsored story/press release really is there's not much to argue.

We are being ruled in a world full of crap & idiotic advertising and this falls under this category.
For me this should have never been in Press in the first place.

I thought the second was the most obvious one and, in fact, it is. And given the other features that's a bit problematic. I thought of using TOR for BB but as you pointed out that's just as anonymous as TOR can be. Monero wins on that side.
Would be nice to hear something from tonych..

TOR makes a lot of sense in cryptocurrencies whose ledgers are public, because it prevents other connected nodes from linking your transactions to your IP address.  When you are paying in blackbytes, your transaction is visible only to the payee, and usually you are not even connected to the payee directly, you communicate over a hub.  This means that, even when TOR is off in your Byteball client:
- unrelated third-parties learn nothing
- the payee can learn your IP only in two cases: you are connected directly or the payee colludes with the hub
Turning TOR on (available in headless clients, will be supported soon in GUI clients) removes the above risk.

Differences with Monero:
- Monero doesn't hide amounts, blackbytes do.
- Strictly speaking, ring signatures used in Monero only obfuscate information about the sender, don't completely hide it.  Blackbytes truly hide all information.  This is not to say obfuscation is always something of subpar quality, good obfuscation can be as good as hiding for all practical purposes.

That said, I think the anonymity features of Monero are already good enough for most users, the real game changer is usability, where imho Byteball shines.  And it is not just about anonymity.

First of all, thanks for the outstanding explanation. I'm not a Monero supporter as I've already said but I'm truly looking forward to a coin that preserves my privacy and confidentiality and if your project delivers on that I'm perfectly happy.
I'll read the white paper to learn more about Byteball & messaging Wink
