Why PoS is busted: For instance, you could remove mining to save energy and create a closed loop, recursive, PoS system, but without the external entropy of mining, you now have a permissioned ledger and not a real decentralized currency. It has no real fault or state recovery since it needs to reference the parts that have already failed in order to continue. With Bitcoin PoW, there really is no terminal failure unless the cryptography itself becomes compromised. That's why Bitcoin is more valuable than all the alternative methods you see. A global economy can't go from working to dead at the drop of a hat with no way to fix it.
Well that's fine but actually bigger and more valuable cryptoes are already lost that "external entropy of mining" as the whole mining process is dominated by a couple big fish. But the possibility for such entropy is still there indeed.

Microsoft is running everything, they think to have a chance for being interesting in the future. Similar approach as Google running a host of "experimental" services and letting the less popular services to die. So the MS running something is a nice to have thing but not really important.

I'm not a coder but here's my opinion from another thread: The price of PoS coins is completely arbitrary. It's not based on anything. ICOs and crap like that setting the initial price is useless and similar to how FIAT works. While PoW does sink money into electricity and taking it out of the ecosystem, it also creates a floor price; miners tend not to sell coins cheaper than what the cost of mining was.
OK... and which floor price do you mean? The US price, the Chinese price, or the the price when some blokes stealing or obtaining electricity by other means for free ?

At the time dropping of bombs Germany was already capitulate, and Japan was at the end of his strength. Bombs were such violent demonstration of power to the rest of the world, directed to Russia and other possible enemies after war. Bombs were not necessary for the ending of war, and targets were civilians!
Japan was still a pretty hard nut to crack. The heavy losses during the Okinawa campaign lead directly to those nuclear strikes, as a traditional all out final assault on mainland Japan would have been very costly by all means. Of course those attacks were also a demonstration for the rest of the world, especially for the USSR.

PPC is a thing what used to do such things . A few times I've also realised that some nearly forgotten PPC stocks worth twice (or even more) when I've "rediscovered" than the original price.

Surely there are. Take a look at the exchanges. Most likely these are more "professional" closed groups, not something like fairpumps or the others we've seen advertised here.

everything you can do on other altcoin, it can always be done on bitcoin, altcoin are only good for testing new stuff, if it is a good stuff, bitcoin will absorb it
altcoin are good as a guinea pigs
Yeah you can absorb the good stuff as long you get consensus and we know how hard that has been recently As this will be a useful external "add-on" on the top of bitcoin but not going to change the bitcoin protocol itself, I think this will have a lot more acceptance.

Some people used to forecast the "ultimate geomagnetic storm" and end of civilization almost every year, so it's quite boring now. Especially because of the decreasing solar activity in the next decade. The same people used to sell the equipment you need to defend your stuff. Fear sells.

Well in EU they can take you to a psychiatric hospital, but then your mental issue has to be confirmed by multiple doctors!
That's correct. But nobody can sue them if they they took you there for a good reason.

Students at PRINCETON wants Black ONLY areas because they want a free space to separate from all other races.
If they get thet free space they asking for probably some other SJWs going to protest because of racial segregation.

I like this "pro gun mom got shot" sort of things. Have anybody here seen any such breaking news when a not pro-gun mom got raped/killed/mugged because of the lack of means of self-defence?

Supremacy isn't about DNA. It's always about arms, training, decent timing and proper command chain. Groups what good on this four are supreme to other groups. The fact we whites were pretty good on killing each other and other people on an industrial scale and grab their stuff (what made us even more potent after each round) granted us more and more supremacy over less developed races. Unfortunately the softheartedness and self hatred of our own leftist and liberal fools ended those good ole raiding and plundering days...

Probably irrelevant, but in many EU states the police have right to take someone to psychiatric hospital if they have a good reason to believe that because of his/her mental state that person can be dangerous for him/herself or for others. I guess this isn't much different in the States.

Maybe right. Because The Telgraph said: Police say they believe an explosive device inside or outside vehicle caused blast in the west of the capital
A man was killed in a car bombing in central Berlin on Tuesday morning.
Police suspect the incident was linked to organised crime, and are playing down the possibility of a terror attack, according to local reports.
Officially, police said they are still investigating the explosion and have not ruled out any possibilities.
But according to information leaked to Bild newspaper, the dead man has been identified as a 43-year-old known to police, with a history of drug offences and violent crime.
Well, this supports the criminal theory. BTW petty criminals sometimes used to join terrorist organizations (especially if they get radicalized in their local community or in the jail), but organized crime groups (apart from some weapon trading) usually not interested in or sometimes even hostile to terrorists, as they want to "work" without attracting unwanted attention .

All sort of people with mental issues are supporting Hitlery: LGBTs, KKK, radical feminists, sex-workers.etc. I am yet to find a single individual in sound mental state, who is willing to support her. It will be fun once she becomes the POTUS (not for the Americans, but for the others). Hitlery will be the American equivalent to Mikhail Gorbachev / Boris Yeltsin.
So being gay or sex worker is having a mental issue? Glad to know... At least your honest about your own stupidity... Probably he wanted to say moral state. However to be honest I'm not sure about the mental state of some LGBT activists and radical feminists I've seen on Youtube. KKK... Well, is it really still active and dangerous? Or just a bunch of southern rednecks with unpresentable political views? During election campaigns presstitutes used to exaggerate the reach and dangerousness of such organizations for some political credit and minority voters.

Please forgive my noob questions. I'm new to this, and don't know where to start. I stumbled across this site by coincidence: http://bitbay.market/This has not anything to do with bitcoin, right? This is a similar technology? Are there other decentralized markets out there? NXT also has a (decentralized) marketplace but that not very well known, therefore it's illiquid and generally speaking you can't see too many signs of life over there.

The car is in relative good condition (recognizable and in one piece) so this explosion was too small for a car bomb. Most likely the guy inside was the target, what points to criminals instead of terrorists.

What kind of slander it is! Turkey's relation was good with Syria before protests began in Syria. When protests began as if onebody pushed a button, Erdogan (former prime minister today's president) warned Asad not to use violence on protesters but Asad began killing them. After Asad's murders on Syrian citizens, Turkey supported 2 of dissident groups. One group was FSA and other one was Turkmen group. Turkey didn't started "arabian spring" Turkey didn't kill Syrian citizens. How Erdogan can be responsible of chaos in Middle East? Double standarts your western civilisation uses in Middle East.
Of course he couldn't done all of these things on his own without support from Riyadh, Tel-Aviv and Washington. Turkey's relation was OK with Syria until Assad and his lot didn't started planning a new pipeline from Iran through the north-Iraqi kurdish territories with possibility for a branch to the south-Iraqi oil fields. There were also plans to build a new pipeline from the Gulf States through Israel and a "friendy" Syria to Turkey. So Assad's Syria is a possible big competitor and a major obstacle on the way to be the biggest oil supplier for Europe. Wake up mate, this mess isn't about the human rights in Syria but it's about oil again (spiced with some power struggle with Iran).

Proof Of Works Rewards Saving System Pulsarcoin value is base on Bitcoin price Every block will be reward 0.005 in Bitcoin You will need to input your Btc address in the wallet to get the Btc reward or on the pool you will choose you will have to do this too Pulsarcoin mining will reward 0.005 Btc for each block + the normal reward block in Psc
How do you get the BTC to pay the miners? You will need a lot of BTC in reserve if you want to peg the price to bitcoin price. I think ICO is your only chance to grab some crowdfunding.

This is really hard for me to understand. Bitcoin is first and have biggest network of coders that are involved in evolution of bitcoin. No doubt there will be always very good coins -alts but they never gonna shine like btc.
I think he's right. I guess the first little ugly things in the proterozoic seas also believed that they are the top of the evolution - and by that time probably they were right - some of those even made it almost unchanged to this day but nowadays everybody believe that Einstein is smarter the CIA is more stealthy and Shakira looks better then any of those things .
