Yes. No one should ever take the product of the labor of someone else without paying them fairly for it.

That is also a problem as in the case of urban sprawl.

If he builds one, occupies an abandoned one, or exchanges the surplus of that which he produced, directly or indirectly, for one, presumably he needs one.

There's no cost to occupy an abandoned home, except that which a landlord might impose.

The capitalist bank owners removed the homes' inhabitants because they couldn't collect enough interest. The government provides eviction services, or the threat of eviction, thereby helping capitalists profit. Capitalists profit by government. If they decide that they aren't making enough profit, the capitalists will overthrow it and make a more profitable one.

Capitalism deprives most people of the product of their labor. When the worker's, renter's, or borrower's standard of living increases, it's either incidental or the result of capitalists attempting to prevent mutiny. In either case, they typically experience a net loss in the long run.

Private property ownership isn't inherently exploitive. Charging people to use property for which you have no use without transferring ownership means that you gain at their expense. Therefore, you have taken advantage of them and their lack of property or the means to avoid the kind of extortion in which you engage. Taking advantage is the dictionary definition of exploitation. It's wrong to exploit people because in doing so, you disrespect their humanity. People are not livestock. Now, if the person your dealing with knows that he's on the loosing end of the deal but enjoys it, he's either doing you a favor or playing out a fetish.

What a miserable choice.

Meh. It's partly a matter of civil disobedience for me. I see no reason why I must use my senses and my labor according to some "intellectual property" holder's terms instead of my own. If you don't want me to experience your creation, keep it a God damn secret.

In that case, Luna is Bitcoin-compliant, but with limitations on mining. I suppose Lunans could either overcome the Earthlings' computing power or start their own block-chain if they didn't like the mining disadvantage... and then start bombarding the Earth with moon rocks.

I get that sometimes but I usually just refresh and it's okay. Of course, I only visit out of curiosity and ever buy anything, okay, DEA?

If your dad gives you crap, ask him "why does Mom say that twelve inches is this big?" while gesturing some length obviously shorter than twelve inches.

Ah, so by starting late, Lunar nodes are always less likely to find the block first. What if a Lunar nodes only process lunar transactions and give up on blocks after nine minutes and fifty-five seconds to start working on the next block?

Exactly, but I wouldn't call it artificial.

Profit unjustifiably increases the price, putting a home out of the reach of someone who needs it. Furthermore, the costs are sometimes zero, yet capitalists insist on taking whatever they can. Look at all these empty homes, just in the Hartford, CT area. Either nobody wants them, or some capitalists are preventing people from moving (back) in.

Only to the extent that they are capitalists. Some people are only partly capitalists, lending to friends without interest, doing favors, etc. For the sake of these people, I do not promote violent revolution. Their capitalist behavior sucks, however.

He will only make available just enough to maintain his profits. If he satisfied everyone's need, there'd be no more demand and no more profit. Providing safe, affordable housing, or even the ability to build it, to those who need it is not profitable. Therefore, a capitalist won't do it.

This type of enterprise can negate the association between difficulty and exchange rate, if there ever was one.

Yes.

Yes, but a capitalist will not want to kill that opportunity by making affordable, safe housing abundant. He will only rent out just enough housing so as to extract maximum profit. Perhaps he has no regard for the fact that such behavior ensures the existence of homelessness. Maybe he does it just to get by while satisfying the demands of his lender. We can trace the problem to a capitalist worldview.

Let's assume a total delay of five seconds then, and that Lunar and Earthling nodes contribute equally. Suppose a Lunar node solves the same block that an Earthling node did 4 seconds ago. Will the problem not sort itself out before the mistaken Lunar node spends the award? How does the Bitcoin network presently handle the issue with terrestrial latency? Is there really a problem if the delay is well under ten minutes?

I've never come across a lease contract that stated any safety guarantees. Of course, there's little to no profit incentive to include them. Ultimately, landlords profit when affordable housing is scarce. Few inhabitants of an unsafe building will find a safer, affordable alternative. So, if a landlord starts touting the safety of his building in comparison to others, it will just be to raise his rates. Because renters have so little recourse, the landlords of unsafe buildings have little to no profit incentive to reduce rates or improve safety. Under capitalism though, profit make the situation okay.

If a landlord or an employer doesn't live or work in a given building, how much does he really care about the quality of its construction? Perhaps he's willing to spend less on a building constructed by a builder with a poor record than one with a good record. If he makes a profit, it's all good.

So, Lunar nodes will continue working on a block for 2.5 seconds after an Earthing node has already solved it. Similarly, Earthling nodes will continue working on a block for 2.5 seconds after a Lunar node has already solved it. There's only a 2.5 second window for a rejected block to occur for nodes on either body. A disadvantage only occurs to the extent that one body has more computing power than the other. So, however unlikely, if Earthing nodes ever find themselves contributing less computing power than Lunar ones, the delay could put them at risk for rejected blocks. Of course, it's only a 2.5 second window. It seems that the problem would only rarely occur.

There's got to be a way. Try putting a fine layer of dust on the key board. Get your parents to type in the password to install something appropriate. When they go away, look at the fingerprints to figure out what letters they've typed. Now, make an educated guess as to what the password is.

I wonder how the ISS does it. Maybe it has radiators shadowed by the solar panels. I bet it can also make use of a fair amount of convection, since it orbits in the upper atmosphere.

You don't really have to install bitcoin. Just download the .exe and double click on it. Hopefully it will work. That said, you probably won't generate any bitcoins in the near future because the network already has lots of people competing for them.
