looks like there is a short between layers where the capacitors melted the top layer, so unless I can get an empty board from technobit to solder the chips salvaged from the shorted board, I guess I'll have to find another design and build the board.
Was it overclocked? If you could get copper map (CAD picture) for all layers then you may find it possible cut out the shorted areas and "bug build" to fill the hole. Maybe worth a shot? |

Look, if scientists and researchers had more than a rudimentary understanding of how things work, they would have been able to double and triple our lifespan long ago.
Let's hope not. We are overpopulated as it is. I predict within 40 years it will cost ~1BTC to have a neural scan such that your conscious mind can be entirely transferred into a simulated environment. So instead of graveyards there will be server racks, the deceased could still interact with the general web so continue posting on worldly forums from the "next life" This is an interesting idea, and has been thought about by many people. The problem is that we don't know if we would automatically tie in a person's true identity, true self, if we did this. It might totally be a simulation of that person without the person at all. Watch the TED videos at this link to see what I mean: https://www.ted.com/topics/consciousness.  I know what you mean, but philosophically there is no way to prove you are the same person when you wake up after going to sleep. Any worldly test like writing on your hand could be duplicated in a copy, as would your full set of long term memories. True identity, true self, is an assumption. The same assumption would be carried by an exact copy. |

The problem with this is, what was the god that engineered the aliens? And what was the god that engineered that god? And how far back does this go? To infinity? Aliens being engineered by other aliens who were engineered by still other aliens. Where would it all start?
Swap the word "alien" for "god" and you still have the same problem. |

we are creation of alien genetic engineering
so in a sense there is a "god"
but not to the point that most world religions would like you to believe
Possibly, I also think it's possible that we exist as conscious code within a simulation. I guess this would make the original system programmer/s "god/s" And what of the original programmers? Do they exist as a simulation also? Maybe it's simulations all the way down? And will we crack the engineering problem of simulating conscious entities that themselves can exist within a simulation? |

It's called cognitive dissonance. The fatal kind - they cherry pick what they want and put together mosaics of what they want to see. Then they claim they know better because they are 'smart' enough to put together a pile of self gratifying bull.
It's same as watching a chimp smear feces over its face, then watch as it claims no one is as 'tough' as it is because they don't have the balls to shit stain their own face.
The world is not a mosaic. It's a shit storm that most fools have trouble looking at directly.
All this conspiracy bitching is a good proof that many people here are nothing more then kids behind monitors. It's really embarrassing - wonder why crypto is having a hard time being accepted into mainstream? We don't need any 'illuminati' to fuck up that plan, because these twenty something kids are doing a fine job of that on their own.
By removing contradiction truth is revealed. Indeed, good point, cognitive dissonance tends to exist more in the minds of those who don't ask questions and speculate. They stick to a solution that does not logically work out, that IS cognitive dissonance. Someone trying to work things out are trying to reduce that dissonance, granted they may be dead wrong but at least they're trying. It's strange how some individuals are so opposed to free thinking and logical debate? Anyone would think they had been conditioned to oppose it  |

It appears from Ezekiel 28...
Hmm. Not sure I give any credit to the book you're talking about.  haha, it's in need of some serious debugging, needs to be put on github. |

How can you prove something scientifically if it cannot be meassured?
Simple: just don't bother trying to measure it and then shout "it's real" at the person you are trying to "prove" it to! of course for this to "work" you must recalibrate your own internal understanding of the word "scientific", or better yet; not have that understanding in the first place! edit: non sarcastic answer: you can't! |

There are conspiracy theories, and then there are conspiracy facts. I have a feeling that a lot of the latter has been put together with the former, just to stigmatise and discredit independent thinking and investigation.
Exactly! The libor scandal comes to mind, that was a blatant conspiracy fact! Even the public court proceedings state as much. People seemed not to give a shit that their money was diluted to pay for the whole debacle. ho hum. |

Yes my God allows the murder of such people; he allows murder when the right reason is present. Why wouldn't he?
oh noes murder! think for yourself man, you have reduced yourself to cannon fodder, remember the "other side" thinks just the same. Many people do not deserve to live their lives.
well you're a real bundle of fun aren't you! you already wrote: I don't feel esteemed because of that at all. sounds pretty esteemed to consider yourself more worthy of existence than others, so what is it? esteemed or not? Also he does not like it when you refer to him as 'god', 'God' is a must.
in that case i will use lowercase AND a smaller font from now on to refer to your fictional god. i hold no ill will toward you, i just think you should relax and represent yourself rather than some other persons ideas (illogical ones at that!). |

I feel like there are many people in this conversation that don't know what a central bank does.
A central bank:
1. Prints money (manages the money supply).
2. Regulates fractional reserve banking.
3. Loans money to banks and facilitates loans between banks.
A Bitcoin central bank can't do #1, but there is no reason why it couldn't do #2 and #3 (unless you believe FRB is impossible with Bitcoin).
Of course, FRB sytem is possible with any trusted token. But realise that FRB does (in effect) print money, that's how it achieves the fractional ratio. The fractional ratio can be adjusted and hence some control can be gained over money supply as perceived by users. For every $X deposited by a user, a FRB is able to (though regulatory oversight) create $Y book entry out of thin air, and is then able to lend that newly created $Y to other users at interest. The fractional ratio detemines Y/X. Initially FRBs can offer large interest to account holders (giving them a cut of loan repayment profits), I remember getting ~10% in a savings account sometime in the 80s. Lately these interest rates payed to FRB users have dwindled away to nothing, and were just left with the risk of the bank only able to cover on average 10% of our savings (drop the zero) that's pretty shitty! |

WWIII, if it happen, will not be fought by gun, bullet and nuke.
Trade and currency war are already on going, one could argue this is War on a global scale.
If the currency wars were played out as an isolated game (no military involvement) then the US$ would end up losing its global reserve status, this is simply what would happen mathematically if the books were balanced, US$ would be pwned. And this is the reason we should worry, physical actions will be used to protect the US$ global reserve status, as it always has been since US$ gained global reserve status and increasingly so since it went fiat. I think the first dire acts will be biological warfare, news could then spin it as a natural event, can't do that with nukes. |

bitcoin to $4000 - $6000
litecoin to $150 - $250
litecoin, will never recover, i don't see any point in that alt, bitcoin can use sidechain to gain everything it need, like fast transactions, litecoin is useless Wanna put some money on it? I might if we can arrange escrow with predefined prices/dates. I'll be your escrow... and I agree with the dude who thinks LTC will recover I would prefer an escrow agent that has no emotional investment in the transaction. |

Then I guess you will just have to go in and show your ID.
But Just make sure you do not feel guilty or "naughty" in anyway. You are a young positive person, just starting out in the exciting world of crypto. stay positive! and be happy and positive with the bank staff.

There simply can't exist a proof that god exists! It just doesn't work that way. God can only exist for people who believe he/she/it does. All those 'scientific' proofs are bogus, if you ask me!
Stop right now, and look at the wall. No, seriously, stop what you are doing and look at the wall. I don't know if your wall is papered with wallpaper, or if you have paneling, or if it is simply painted. But whatever it is, how do you know that there is anything behind/beyond the surface of the wall? You might have seen the wall built. You might have only tapped the wall with your knuckles, and it felt solid. You might have even put your fist through that wall at one time or another. But how do you know for a fact that there is anything behind/beyond the surface of that wall right now? For all we know, observing the substance behind the surface of the wall is the thing that brings that substance into existence, and that it really wasn't there before we brought it into existence through some form of observation. The point is, how much evidence do you have to see in nature before you can postulate within yourself that God must indeed exist? EVERYTHING in life exists partially by faith. Nature seems to show that God exists. The surface of the wall seems to indicate that there is some kind of solidity behind the surface. But until you stand face to face with whatever, you have to live, at least a little, in faith. ALL people live in faith many different ways throughout their whole lives. Meeting God in person is the only pure proof for His existence. But the evidence that He exists is great, far greater than the constant babbling of the scientists that evolution exists. In their babbling they live in faith just like everyone else. With a wall we could all carry out the same experiment: Take a drill, a Black and Decker is fine, and drill a hole to determine with certainty what is behind the surface layer, have witnesses to observe the experiment if you wish. The same cannot be done with your hypothetical "god". I agree that observing something may bring it into existence (and no experiment could prove otherwise), but that argument also stands for your "god" and so you cannot use it without pulling the rug out from under your very own position. In fact thinking such thoughts would make the logical reality most likely that we are running in a simulation that only renders what is being observed. The fact of the matter is that what is known as "science" only considers things tangible and observable through experiment as real, "god" simply does not fall into this category. Exactly! As you suggest. The argument stands for God, as well. And as I suggest, we ALL take everything on a bit of faith. While it might be true that we can't "drill a hole" in some hypothetical God-wall, we don't have to. All we have to do is look at nature to see that God exists. How can we tell from nature? The complexity of nature is so great that we can't begin to comprehend how the universe might have come into existence. The Theory of Evolution has remained a theory for as long as it has, simply because scientists keep saying it is a theory. The Theory of Evolution has been proven through science, over and over again throughout the last 10 decades or so, that it is not even worthy of being considered a theory, much less a reality. Nature doesn't prove God. Yet, the evidences in nature are so great that it wouldn't take much more to push the observations into proof. A far greater mystery is, with all the tremendous evidence pointing at God, why are so many people so afraid of Him that they try to push Him out of their lives to the point of firmly objecting to even acknowledging that He might exist? And this is done by the same people - the scientists - who wholeheartedly claim to be looking for truth. Amazing! Well you seem a gentleman and that's what's important to me, more important than philosophical viewpoint. But I will probably remain agnostic for the rest of my life, I don't think god will ever objectively be proved to exist or not. |

Indeed I agree there should be a central bank for bitcoin for reducing price fluctuations, and keeping inflation in control
Nice idea.
Reduced price fluctuation will happen as userbase grows. Bitcoin already controls its own inflation. |

I think the issue with a 51% attack and trusting the huge mining pools that are in control of Bitcoins security is a protocol issue (but I'm sure you'll correct me whether I'm right or wrong). [/color]
I stand corrected, that issue should be addressed at protocol level. I'm not even sure what that means. Governments become different things all the time depending on who's elected to office.
You said "Organizations and agencies aren't evil, the people controlling them are evil.", which to my mind means nothing as I think an organisations simply can't exist without people. Importnant thing, money and military plans, remain unchanged. A country who changed long term plans each time a "party" was swapped out would quickly become vunerable in the global arena. The democratic voting system is a layer on top of "real" government. a : morally reprehensible : sinful, wicked <an evil impulse> b : arising from actual or imputed bad character or conduct <a person of evil reputation> In my opinion the word "evil" is about as far as one can go and ought to be saved for those comiting moral crimes (a). (b) is purely subjective and we all have different thresholds on this. If I had to choose between who to be locked in a log cabin with between pirate and a mass murderer then I know who I would choose, pirate any day! Sure I may leave the cabin with no loose change in my pockets, but I doubt I would have a scratch on me. Bitcoin already has plenty of central authority in mining, leadership, development and business leadership. Why not have centralization that can propel it forward.
Yes centralisation is inevitable, and with it can come good, but it will always creep toward corruption, natural selection of behaviour will make it so. |
