LOL!!!


All hail our glorious leader, Inaba. 

Don't worry.  BFL distribution of information is handled much like in North Korea.

a) ruthless, tribal governments (organically arise)
b) centralized, highly organized governments

take your pick.  People will never be civil enough to sustain ancap.

@bcpokey


yup.  Then there's the risk of mining gear vendors going private once sales decline substantially.  They own the tech, so it would be a better profit proposition than an ordinary miner.


That's what I'm really scared of and do not believe that a 'mining gear industry' that has a single, focused market is necessarily a positive thing for miners.  At least with GPU miners do not need to worry about risk of encroachment by vendors.  But ASIC was an eventuality - we'll see where this goes.

yea so GZ could see that he had a criminal record because he was tall

and this means he can shoot him.

TM thought that his height advantage made it OK to attack GZ, because the Neighborhood Watch captain 'dissed' him by asking why he was wondering around a burglary-prone street at night, in the rain.

Poor, innocent, peaceful, young TM didn't realize that Sam Colt made all men equal regardless of height.  So he got a Darwin Award.   Cheesy

Moral of the story is 'don't try to beat people up in public just because they ask you a question you consider disrespectful.'   Grin


Furthering the OT

+1000

TM was no longer innocent the moment he bashed GZ head on the sidewalk.

The question of racism in no way changes the above fact.

I find it fascinating the volume of people that decline to report their orders on the forum.

A greater percentage do not report by a factor of 2x I believe.

I have to wonder about the psychology behind this.  It only works to our, the mining community's, benefit to have a solid understanding of the coming network capacity increase.

Strange.  Short sighted miners more concerned about anonymity than profit forecasting?

LIMITATIONS
   ...and does not feature a wallet.

This is an excellent limitation to have, and it should stay this way.

It should have support for communicating with a wallet module or wallet service, but I think having an integrated wallet is a bad design decision that causes all kinds of horrible consequences.  (How often do you open a high-value document in Microsoft Word and be treated to a blinking cursor on a blank document as though you did "file - new"..., freak out, call for tech support, and be told "oh yeah, you are doing it wrong, you have to drop to the command line and type winword.exe -rescan")

Nice.

While not a 'must-have-now' feature having a pluggable persistence layer/db is a nice option.

100W at 12V makes for a load current of 8.333A.

If you use 18 AWG copper wire, on a 1 meter run, you would see a resistive loss of about 0.349V from the wire (that counts the loss from both the positive and negative wires, 2 meters of wire total to make a

...



These high end seasonics have modular plugs and a single rail -12v.  Buy a smallish spool of "lamp wire" that's 16 awg and some barrel connectors at your DIY shop of choice.  Order a 10 pack or whatever needed of barrel connectors with wiring from digikey for super cheap.  Cut the <= 18 awg sides short to reduce loss and clamp it all together.  Benefit of using all of the available -12v w/o use and added cost of any adapters.

Yes, the output consisted of many inputs.


Would be nice if blockchain.info wallet would include some sort of pay-per-kb suggestion, so to avoid lengthy delays.

Unconfirmed tx going on for about 10 hours now issued from blockchain.info wallet.


There's a tx fee included.  Is there such an element of chance that no miners have picked up this tx?  If so, lame.
