After all flights were grounded the temperature in the US increased by 2° in the 3 days following 9/11.

After I turned off the air conditioning last night the temperature outside dropped over 7 degrees in the following 3 hours.

What's your point!?

My point is that people are denying man-made climate change. I offer proof that they're wrong.

What's your problem?

My problem is that I don't see how your single line about two events (airplanes grounded and temperature increase) proofs man made climate change. So maybe you could / should elaborate if you're actually trying to convince anyone.

Globalwarming is clearly bullshit however, that doesn't stop "them" from spraying a layer of aluminum among other things to reflect incoming sunlight and perform other functions.
Who is them? Where are they spraying aluminium (I need it to produce hats!)? Sources?

so many people here willing to participate in obvious stolen credit card merchandise

quite sad..

What is SAD is that if you had a brain at all you would know it has nothing to do with credit card fraud, it's starbucks security that hasn't been patch for years. obviously Starbucks does not care. quick "smart"search on Google.


Which of course makes it as legal as me going into your house when your door is unlocked and taking your TV/stereo and of course bitcoins.

Your messed up big time, it's called fix your secturtiy and learn from your mistakes. Smart people don't leave there doors unlock unless your asking
To be robbed. Think about it and use your brain.

Hero member in a bitcoin world lol

Just because security is not airtight (hint: It never is) doesn't give anyone the right to come in and take whatever they want. I bet you're one of those people who say that women who walk alone at night are asking to get raped. Smart women stay indoors (locked, duh) and never go out without escort.

...... What are you a cop/lawyer ?

Not a criminal like you.

Give up? Hell i just got started. There is only 3 or 4 of them left, the rest have already figured it out. I'm not going to quit when i have already come so far. Why pass up the opportunity to make the few left standing look like total asses and idiots before it ends for good?

Funny you would interpret it that way. My view is the rest have already concluded you're not hand carving and have stopped feeding the troll.

Just to clarify... If I buy a $48.490 Fantasy Dream 1PH/s miner, receive it and then start a dispute... You will guarantee that I get my money back with the only requirement being that I can be on call to verify my identity?

Really?


That's quite some impressive service you offer. Good luck with it.


PS. I received that miner last night in my dream, and it's worth every imaginary money I spent on it.

Even though he has sent the bug to gmaxwell to be reviews, why did he already get a negative trust ?

Self-proclaimed internet-sheriff's blind anger. Questionable behaviour, I agree.

Speaking about questionable behaviour... To me "Hey, I found a critical bug. I will inform you about it for BTC10" sounds an awful lot like "Hey, I can break your legs. For $2000 I won't".

No, because then he'd be saying if you don't pay me the 10 btc I'm going to start shooting down every node I see until it's fixed.

Rather he simply wants to be compensated for his time spent digging into the code and finding a vulnerability.


To those who believe the Bitcoin Foundation should not offer these bounties I ask why does the EFF offer bounties and prizes?



Edit: Has gmaxwell verified the claim sent by PM yet?

I realise that, which is why I said "sounds an awful lot like". Obviously he wants compensation for his work, which is alright. He's just not packaging his request that nicely. He's obviously rubbing people the wrong way. If he were to present it nicer he would be more likely to get what he wantstm.

Also the EFF offers those bounties to give people an incentive to go out and find issues. Evil-Knievel doesn't need such an incentive. He goes out looking with no prospect of a reward, only to request it upon finding something.

It's like finding someone's wallet. If you return it do you demand $10? Or do you just give it back and accept whatever reward they give? And how does that change if the owner put out posters offering a reward for finding their wallet?

Anyway, bottom line is that if he found an issue he deserves something. But there's no obligation for anyone to give him what he deserves.

356  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Army Ranger prep course passed by 5 out of 26 women on: February 06, 2015, 02:45:31 AM
Quote
The U.S. Army’s preparatory course for the next Ranger School cycle ended with 5 out of 26 women completing the course. All were officers.

Out of 122 soldiers to start the course, 48 percent passed. There were 43 male dropouts in addition to the 21 women, Army Times reported Wednesday.

The army considers its two-week Army National Guard Ranger Training and Assessment Course to be a reliable litmus test for which soldiers are likely to have a chance at passing Ranger School. The army hopes that 40 women will pass the preparatory course between now and April.

“This first iteration of an integrated RTAC has provided significant lessons learned as we conduct a deliberate and professional way forward to the integrated assessment in April,” Maj. Gen. Scott Miller, commanding general of the Maneuver Center of Excellence, Fort Benning, said in a statement, Army Times reported.

Any female soldiers who attend Ranger School in April will be tested on a variety of skills, including land navigation, a Combat Water Survival Assessment, the Ranger Physical Assessment and a 12-mile road march. There is also a 62-day course comprised of jungle, mountain and swamp phases.

In the last few hours it dropped $5 to $220 then went back up to $225. The OP is full of crap.

In the last few hours the price did whatever it wanted to do. Anyone that thinks they can say its definitely going one way or another is full of crap.

I'll have you know that I have employed a coven for the past year to hex the BTC-$ exhange rate into doing whatever it wants. You think it did what it wanted by itself? Come on, give the witches some credit!

What a pathetic attempt at price manipulation...
358  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Permanently keeping the 1MB (anti-spam) restriction is a great idea ... on: February 05, 2015, 09:20:05 AM
You must be able to broadcast that huge block to most of the nodes in 10 minutes. I don't see the latest research regarding this area, but there is a paper from 2013


http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/file/49318d3f56c1d525aabf7fda78b23fc0/P2P2013_041.pdf

Based on this research, it took 0.25 seconds for each KB transaction to reach 90% of network. In another word, a 1MB block will take 256 seconds to broadcast to majority of nodes and that is 4 minutes

When block size reach 10MB, you will have a broadcast time of 40 minutes, means before your block reach the far end of the network, those nodes have already digged out 3 extra blocks thus your block is always orphaned by them. And the whole network will have disagreement about which segment have the longest chain, thus fork into different chains

Gavin's proposal is to let mining pools and farms connect to high speed nodes on internet backbone. That is reasonable, since the propagation time is only meaningful for miners, your transaction will be picked up by the mining nodes closest to you and if those mining nodes have enough bandwidth, they can keep up with the speed. But anyway, how much bandwidth is really needed to broadcast 10MB message in a couple of minutes between hundreds of high speed nodes need to be tested. And this is the risk that someone worried about the centralization of mining nodes: Only those who have ultra high speed internet connection can act as nodes (I'm afraid that chinese farms will be dropped out since their connection to the outside world is extremely slow, they will just fork to their own chain inside mainland china)

I don't know how you come to those assumptions based on that research.

Quote
the block message may be very large — up to 500kB at the time of writing.

Quote
The median time until a node receives a block is 6.5 seconds whereas the mean is at 12.6 seconds.

Quote
For blocks, whose size is larger than 20kB, each kilobyte in size costs an additional 80ms delay until a majority knows about the block.

The do not mention the average size of blocks they measured. Let's assume all their blocks were 0KB. 12.6 seconds for that. Add 80 ms per addicition KB.... 80ms * 1024 * 20 is about 27.3 minutes. Add the original 12.6 seconds... Roughly 28 minutes for 20MB.

Of course, 28 minutes is still long. That is based on 2013 data. I assume the nodes now will have improved their verification speed and have more bandwidth. New measurements could / should be made to verify that propagation speed will not become an issue.
359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Permanently keeping the 1MB (anti-spam) restriction is a great idea ... on: February 05, 2015, 08:57:27 AM
The OP gives a valid technical argument for raising block size limit, but is neglecting a financial argument against it.

The miners' income has to be greater than the cost of their work. Miners' income is inflation now, but is expected to be replaced by fees,
since inflation halves every four years. Purchasing power of new coins might be sustained for a while but must converge to zero in the limit.

Transaction fees exist only because there is a competition for block space. Eliminating that competition eliminates the fees and with that mining.

Therefore block space has to become and remain a scarce asset.


like i have said before in this very thread, it's better to sell 1 billion screws and make 0,01 cent profit from every screw than to sell 1 Lamborghini and make a profit of $100000 from that single sale.

bigger blocks means more transactions which means MORE FEES.

not less fees, MORE fees.

it's a GOOD thing for miners, not a bad thing.

Imagine if you owned a taxi business, but no matter how many taxis and taxi drivers you have, you are only allowed to transfer 500 passengers a day, period. You could own a million cars and a million drivers, but you would still only be allowed 500 passengers. There could be a major sport events like the superbowl or the champions league, 100,000 of people could be waiting for a taxi ready to pay but no, you can not take more than 500, why? because protocol said so.

The blockchain works by supply and demand, and supply is made by the miners themselves, not by some dumb hardcoded limit.

If the miners think 0.001 fee per transaction is too low, they are free to deny those transactions. But they should deny transactions just because 'lol the block is full'

To clarify... Suppose there are 5 transactions:
#FeeSizeFee per 256 KB
1
0.1
512KB
0.05
2
0.1
512KB
0.05
3
0.05
256KB
0.05
4
0.05
256KB
0.05
5
0.01
256KB
0.01

Now with the 1 MB limit the miner can, at most, earn BTC0.2.
With a 20MB limit the miner can earn BTC0.31. More than 1.5x as much as with the 1MB limit! Did their cost increase 1.5x? I don't see that. I wonder which fork miners would pick...
