You are from Russia and support war/want to go to war with USA?

What good exactly do you think that would do? For you?

Where? You want a couple hundred k boots on the ground war in Syria? Exchange some small bombs? Or do ya wanna break out the nukes?

Do you really think you could win under any circumstances?
3642  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Mining hardware in a car ? on: December 25, 2015, 12:52:54 AM
A car does not simply generate electricity by moving, that energy comes out of your gasoline.

Gas turns the engine and the engine turns a belt that turns the alternator. The extra energy your alternator will have to take from the engine to power the miner directly burns more gasoline a a result.

The alternator is controlled by the voltage regulator, it pretty much tells the alternator how hard to work depending on the power needs at the time. In normal operation the car doesn't require that much electrical energy to operate so the alternator doesn't work as hard as it can, putting only the minimum draw on the engines power. Increasing the draw by adding accesories, such as a miner, increases the load on the alternator and the strain on your engine.

I'm pretty sure that your car is not going to be able to efficiently enough convert gasoline into electricity $/KwH to compete with an electric company so it will just cost you more. Instead of paying for your miner's energy on your electric bill you will be paying more for the same thing at the pump when you fuel your car.

As far as I know no fees make the chain go faster, higher fees just kindof let you cut in line and get your transaction processed before others with lower fees..

Higher fees are supposed to help mitigate spam attacks, where people send tons of transactions to clutter up the network to hurt BTC, this makes these attacks more expensive.

But think about it, if USA, Russia, or China gov't want to do an attack like this to stop Bitcoin do you really think that they care if it costs them $1,000,000 to do it? I doubt they even care whether it costs $10k or $1mm, doesn't make a bit of difference to them really you think?

If it's just a matter of how much money it costs to stop Bitcoin. Do you really think we will be able to outspend the big dogs with transaction fees if they decide to do this? I think not..

I would love to see Trump get the job but I don't want to get my hopes up and be disappointed..
I do not agree with 100% of the things Trump says or stand for but many of the things he is bringing to the table I just feel are too good to be true..

Many new users get there first bitcoins in microtransactions from faucets and such and a big point of this is so they can send some BTC around and get a feel for how it works.

This is quite detrimental to this, these newcomers are going to see high % fees on there transactions like this and be turned off to the whole BTC environment due to this. I really think all this transactions fees raising stuff is going to hurt new user adoption, there must be a better way..

"And that would be especially profitable for Russia, the article states. The more electricity a country can provide, the bigger mining computer cluster it can support. With Russia’s volume of electricity production it would be possible to create a large-scale bitcoin mining industry."

In the name of making money mining.. I was hoping for a better supporting argument than that..

They are just going to do whatever they want anyway. IMO the importnt thing is to know that they are watching everything, not just assume or doubt. So watch your ass if you are not protecting your privacy yourself, the gov't will not be doing it for you..
3648  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / New iOS Camera App, Uproov, Signals End of Fake Videos and Photos on: December 24, 2015, 03:21:27 AM
I think this is pretty cool, check it out..

"Recordings taken through the Uproov App are tamper-proof and therefore any changes to even just one pixel or byte renders the recording invalid, as it is checked against its blockchain record written from the original picture you took with Uproov. This means that for the first time you really can be sure that an image or video recording really is true – unedited - and completely original."

http://www.coindesk.com/press-releases/new-ios-camera-app-uproov-signals-end-fake-videos-photos/

uproov.com

I am no blockchain guru but this seems like a fascinating use of blockchain technology that could really be of great service to a lot of people. For example, the traders here, where trust is king and being able to really PROVE something is gold.

I did a search here because I wanted to know more from those more experienced in how this cryptoographic proof stuff really works, but there is only 1 hit for "uproov".

What do you think?
Could this be a big help to many of the people here that conduct business?
I see a lot of "oh, that could just be photoshopped", or "take a picture with a piece of paper with your btctalk acct name and date written on it" etc. Maybe this could be of use for these types of situations?

It seems like it's automatically signing a bitcoin addy with your pic/vid file therefore it can later be authenticated just like a signed message or be void if even one pixel is changed just as if any single character in a signed message is changed it invalidates the whole thing..

I am also assuming this works on THE bitcoin blockchain, it seems they just say "the blockchain" so I really don't know..

I can cash them out on polo for you. You send them to my polo acct and I will send the BTC out to you minus 1% (for me) after the cost of fees...

I can do this for you in many smaller batches if you like in order to minimize your risk, each withdrawal to you would cost .0001 BTC fee..

As of current prices I'd expect you to recieve about 105k sat each for them but that is subject to change with the market.. I could also provide you with screenshots of the trade analyzer so you could see exactly what they sold for.

3657  Economy / Gambling / Re: Public bet between Me and Bitspender. 10 btc each. Floz Price Prediction on: December 21, 2015, 06:29:25 AM
This is a prediction bet on the price of FLOZ crypto currency next Sunday December 27th.

Exchange we will use for the bet is C-cex

https://c-cex.com/?p=floz-btc

I bet that the price will be above 2K satoshi on said date.

Bitspender does not believe this will happen.

If the price reaches 0.00002000 satoshi or above on that day then I win the bet.

If the price is lower then 0.00001999 satoshi at any point on that day I lose the bet.

I am looking for a trusted escrow to escrow this bet.

Thank you.



LOL

Are you all missing the fact that it would cost less than 10BTC to buy that market to over 2k sat?

niktitan132 bets 10BTC it'll go over 2k - buys 8.3BTC of FLOZ to put over 2k sat on the chart - collects 10BTC bet   ...   WIN WIN WIN

Well what is your new exchange going to be called? The only thing you're interested in is collecting payments to add coins?

I find it a bit funny that you are wearing a Yobit sig and planning to open competition to them, if that is true..

There is a sell order at 0.00100000BTC too.. BTC has sell orders at $100k I'm sure..

That doesn't mean anything..

When did this alt ever trade at 100 sat??

This is literally "Shitest Coin in the World"        https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1175841.0

DO NOT BUY THIS

For all crypto sake I surely hope this coin and this thread are nothing but a joke..
