Mongolia is the one that first came to mind. Not sure why.

Here is a link to a map that shows all the countries in the world:

Some I can see that don't have coastlines are Chad, Hungary, and Laos.

And here is a Wikipedia article about landlocked countries (and a list of them which includes the four I already mentioned):

It's not always an altcoin. You could make an [ANN] thread for a new exchange, or a service, or a gambling site, etc. Just as long as it's an announcement of some sort.

Glad to see that the dev is back and this thread is back on track.

Also interesting to see that the first option is currently leading. But with a block reward of 400 coins per block and 10,000 blocks, wouldn't that be the same thing as 4 million coins? Since 400 multiplied by 10,000 is 4,000,000? So how does the second option differ from the first?

Looks good, but didn't the original dev die a few months ago? Who is developing the coin now?

Hmm... Three major plane crashes in the space of a week is indeed quite bizarre.


That happened this year too. Not last year. March 8 was the date. It was definitely unprecedented for a modern jet to simply vanish without a trace. Nothing found on the sea floor and no wreckage spotted or washed up. Very odd.

Well I don't think the computers are actually his so he probably can't sell them.

Actually he could probably sell them and replace them with celerons but that would be ripping off the school.

EDIT/DISCLAIMER: DON'T DO THIS OP!!!

It's 11:50 am in Algiers. The plane was supposed to land at 5:10 am. I think it probably already crashed.

Umm... I thought the proceeds of the auction would be going to the victims of Mt. Gox. It would be awesome if someone like Bill Gates bought the domain for $500 million. Then everyone who lost money in Mt. Gox would have all their BTC back.

I thought Bitcoin would be fully mined by 2140:

Yeah, $10 (at today's USD value) per satoshi is obviously impossible. 1 cent per satoshi is probably the absolute maximum upper limit that is still possible.

If your content is good, then SEO isn't really that important. People will flock to it anyway. I own a couple of blogs and forums and before I installed anti-spam measures on both, I used to get tons of spammers spamming backlinks to their SEO services, backlinks of their customers' websites, etc. That made me despise the SEO industry, their crappy marketing, and their shady techniques for good. They are the parasites of the web, and their no. 1 goal is to propel subpar shit to the first page of Google's search results at the expense of those who truly deserve it. No way would I want to associate with that crap.

I would expect 1 confirmation every 10 minutes on average so 4 in 30 minutes is quite good. Sometimes it takes miners an hour to find a block, sometimes it takes a minute.

If 1 satoshi = 1 cent, then 1 BTC = $1 million. Bitcoin market cap = $21 trillion.
If 1 satoshi = $10, then 1 BTC = $1 billion. Bitcoin market cap = $21 quadrillion.

MH17 crashed on the 17th of July.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence but it's a very strange one indeed.

The iPhone 4 and 4S have tiny screens (3.5"). Only the cheapest "toy" smartphones designed for little kids (<$60) have screens smaller than that. Totally unacceptable for a high-end phone. At 4", the iPhone 5 is better - but not by much. 4" is what I would expect to find in a budget smartphone or a low-end mid range phone.

The next generation iPhone should must have a 4.5" screen at the very minimum in order to be competitive in the smartphone market. I don't claim to be an expert, but I think this is obvious. No other smartphone manufacturer has a phone with a 4" screen as their flagship model.

Yes, there will be a few people who dislike larger screens but it's impossible to deny that larger screens is where the industry is heading. It's what the people want. Apple could do what Samsung has always done and what they have recently done with their iPad. That is, they could launch and maintain a separate "iPhone Mini" version. In fact, this wouldn't be too far a radical departure from their current cheaper model, the iPhone 5C.

So yeah, Apple. If you are reading this then please consider my advice. I am sure that most people here would agree.

No way is Malaysia Airlines going to be able to survive after this and MH370. The company hasn't been profitable since 2011, apparently. I feel sorry for them because looking at online reviews and photos, they don't seem like a bad airline.

I woke up this morning to hear news about a Malaysia Airlines plane that had crashed. At first, I thought they were talking about MH370. Like a new development in the search or something. Never would I have imagined that another plane by the same airline would crash in the same year. What a strange and tragic coincidence.

Btcbanc and Btcbanq are nice, but I would have preferred Btcbank or perhaps Bitcoinbank.

Several hours after the MH17 plane crashed, there were news articles already coming out with very fancy-looking and sophisticated charts/diagrams/infographics. My question is, how are people able to create these so quickly and still have them look so professional and well-made?

Examples of what I'm talking about:

   

I thought cloudflare protected sites against DDOS attacks.

Well said. Dogecoin was also the first thing that came to my mind when I read OP's post. If he doesn't like the way Bitcoin's protocol works, then he should either launch his own altcoin or use dogecoins instead. The latter seems like the perfect crypto for his needs.


I believe it was actually supposed to be deflationary in the long term, just like Bitcoin but there was a bug in the code that made it perpetually inflationary. There was quite a bit of discussion during the beginning of this year about whether or not the bug should be fixed, but ultimately it was decided to keep things as is.
