Is that a 12ga extension cord rated for 15A?   Cheesy

Yea... we will find out if really does use over the 1 kw on it.  I know the S4's with their load you really need a thicker gauge.  I switched cords as other was visibly hot, after going bigger gauge it was fine.

im doing a s4+ with a 14 gauge seems to be ok.. i was using 16 until i realized it was a bad idea

Ok i have this sp20 miner but its sucking a bit too much power for my circuits.. i suppose i could underclock. or i could just run an s5..
i still havent decided i want to go down this road, but i am interested to see if there is interest in this proposition .. miner has been used about ~4 months but it works just fine.. let me know!

you should inscribe a wallet address on some old driftwood or something.. she might get it then.. old people can get weirded out by technological wizardry
408  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How would you introduce Bitcoin to your friends and family? on: May 08, 2015, 11:26:23 AM
i usually open with something along the lines of "hey guys id like you to meet  and then i continue with something actually witty and funny and everyone laughs.. it is about this point i usually realize im daydreaming and that  is in fact my only friend, but i consider it more like family anyways. together we make quite the family, tho conversations can be cryptic.. get it ? ahahaa

hmm at first i did notice the 2 post count of the new strato and the obvious lack of an avatar.. but i had kinda just assumed he was trying to gain post counts on an alt or something.. i am a fool who is way to trusting it seems.. no wonder i've fallen into at least a couple scams so far

i did however get somewhat suspicious when he posted a new address and had no intention to send anything there until some sort of confirmation

Bitcoin won't break $500 a coin, likely will sit around the ~$250 range with occasional jumps over $300 and below $200.

People need to start comparing Bitcoin to other payment methods, and they will clearly see why Bitcoin will never have enough demand to "go to the moon," most of Bitcoin's current users are speculators that have no clue what they are talking about.

Bitcoin's biggest issue is that is not consumer friendly: Buying Bitcoin is time consuming (and costly when you figure in fees associated with acquiring Bitcoin + risk of volatility), very slow (to reach 6 confirmations takes several hours... lately its been taking ~1 hour to get even a single confirmation), no ability to chargeback (this is NOT a plus), and other hassles (security issues, learning curve etc). The only thing Bitcoin is better than using the dollar for is to purchase illegal goods.


I see bitcoin being a bit like electric bicycles (ebikes).

There are already lots of forms of transportation and most work fine for those that prefer each type for their particular needs. I see cars as being visa etc. Ebikes will fill a niche but that niche can be quite large worldwide.
Remember bitcoin is not and never set out to offer chargebacks. agree that is a drawback if competing for the car market but not for the ebike market which bitcoin is.

Bitcoin is ideal for non chargeback situations eg sending money to friends, relatives.

Agree it is cumbersome but some of that will improve when regulated exchanges etc are set up. also just like ebikes - they are what they are eg if it rains you get wet. If you want to stay dry use a car. It stops "mass" adoption but people that use visa also want the credit that goes with it so bitcoin was never going to appeal to that part of the visa market ie be "mass adopted".

Will it go to the moon? better to think it already has - I happen to think bitcoins true price is about $60 but considering it was $2 only a few years back it has already gone to the moon if you believed in it back then. I also think it is still on a strong growth as it has not even begun to fill its niche. So i see it going above $500 in a few years if not sooner. it may never be worth $10,000 but nobody involved with bitcoin promised that. they did not promise $250 but that is where we are.



 

 



Bitcoin is the next gold value, as you can see the gold is just dissapearing from all the places some countries had it hidden, i think at some point after the economic revolution, Bitcoin will start be using as a real store of value.. and those bears will regret how they sold. Tongue

hey could you help me find one of these economic revolutions? i have been looking for one for a while now.. i dont think they make them anymore.. but if you want to start one im sure it would become popular quick. but im also sure your life expectancy, as the terrorist flavor of the day, would not be a taste u would enjoy.. the established economic order is so entrenched in the world live i think it would take some serious flavors like fuckin rocky road to take that shit down

You present a sound argument but the illegal goods aspect is also illegal services and which would incorporate lots of gray area type markets such like u say, I dont expect bitcoin to become the next paypal, but perhaps in a tier just below for anything not 100% white. I'm thinking even craigslist type exchanges bitcoin could very well become the standard of

At least at the moment there aren't many strong alternatives and bitcoin does have a certain ease of use lacking in other payment forms.. For one no account - wallet takes 30 sec to generate.. Also on the fly payments.. The confirmation thing I have noticed is highly dependent on the wallet used to send. I have been using mycellium lately and its almost 100% of the time 10 min per conformation

hmm only thing dmt ever revealed to me is the dwarf miners that live under my bed that take whacks at my bitcoin minerz out of jealousy.. they can only mine gold.. oh and jebus.. he lives in the fronty part of my skull and likes to come out sometimes.. he talks to his papa and reveals the truth of everything and stuff but its all very dull i dont follow much of it.. hes kinda dweeb tho and talks too much

which is why i prefer crack these days.. cleaner and better smoke for u most def

Ya, the OP is taking a major chance on this thread by making such an ignorant assumption at this point. I can't comprehend anyone that thinks that bitcoin stops under the 300 mark. This height will melt soon.

I am with you here, all you have to do is use one of many brain cells we should all have. Manipulators are sitting with shed loads of coin and dollars to pump it, thinking they are just going to retire and leave it under $300 is crazy. Have to add I am liking these 220-300 rides on the backs of the hump backs. $300 by the end of the month but probably sooner than that.

i for one would love to see you right on this.. but i am curious what you base your claim on?
414  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will never again be priced over $300. on: May 08, 2015, 03:29:58 AM
can someone un dig threads saying bitcoin never will be priced over $2 again or something to show how ridiculous this thread will be in the future?

thanks goodness. i was worried we had been overrun by financial fortunetellers.. have some hope people.. not everything the wall street journal says is real. in fact im inclined to think its all fake, but i am no investment banker so i dont know how to capitalize on the arbitrary fluctuations and downright crashes of the fiat economy that seem to propel these guys beyond the stratosphere

hmm maybe i just have something to say instead of coming around like a small yappy dog every time the master does something interesting

keep repeating ur message. i am sure it will eventually breach this thick skull of mine.. oh wait nm.. it already did and i will do as promised.. except u cannot stop can you?

lol u have 5000 posts i bet they are like "u r bad .. stop it"

the size of my paragraph scares u huh. if we carry on i'll have to write u a page... maybe i'll do it in sonnet form.. i think even you'd find something meaningful to talk about then

though at times she can be a generous lady, especially if i eat my veggies and dont wet the bed.. i dont think she'd like to pay for 8kwh of electricity running 24/7 tho

418  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will never again be priced over $300. on: May 08, 2015, 02:07:13 AM
all this financial talk is wonderful and all, but your missing a fundamental point.. maybe not all of you but the ones i looked at..

bitcoin is uniquely positioned as the foremost cryptocurrency-the very notion is a novel invention that could, and to some extent is, revolutionizing the way money is exchanged.. i dont care how much miners end up costing the few.. i for one have free power-at least for me it is- and so i will mine till my miners fall to pieces or 21mil is reached.. whichever comes first. there are some that place value beyond speculation-like myself i see bitcoin's value as a vehicle of greater than mere financial efficacy. what about the social and political influences that bitcoin provides for?
one could theoretically fund a revolution with bitcoin.. think about that

In a previous thread I described my attempt to visualize or imagine what the dark side of the Moon looks like as every available photo is fake, I tried to be creative. I then looked back upon the Earth and saw that it was a flat unmoving frozen plane as far as the minds eye can see. It was dotted with little puddles each lit and kept warm with their own little Sun and a vortex of stars above churning around.

Fearful that my imagination was running away on me I started this thread in hopes of restoring my belief in the established science of globalism.



yes thats where truth lies 4shure.. i checked the tarot cards

though, i am quite certain the moon's consistency is very similar to that of southern spain, except for the fertile lands and clouds and water.. but the cheeze! manchego cheeze is supposed to be what dreams and moons-particularly the dark sides- are made of. i asked a mouse once and he gave it to me straight .. it was a in dream but the mouse was an astronaut so its gotta be legit.
i dunno man the puddles seem far fetched to me-though i do not claim to suggest that puddles do not perhaps curdle out of the milk in little cheezy saucers for the space mice to lick.. i have not yet figured out how to actually shuffle these tarot cards yet.. soon

or simply ignore it, like you have done until now


this would be the obvious choice.. why instigate trouble for oneself? like i said- tho thinking and reading and stuff may not be my strongest quality- i dont pay for electricity but maybe i am i dont realize except that i receive no electric bill so hummfph this is tricky one indeed...
nonetheless, why should i go ahead and instigate a discussion on power costs? is there some kind of twisted virtue hidden in this, like giving away money before its been asked for? perhaps in some kind of charitable sense, though considering our relative fortunes, i would think the reverse should be more likely..

edit: wow this conversation devolved.. i apologize if i am coming off as aggressive, but i dont really see why so many people are trying to insinuate themselves into my electric situation. i agree the neighbor thing is in a moral gray area, but moving forward i plan to resolve this anyway

It's not moral grey... if you are plugging into neighbors electricity without asking it is a crime.

You can justify it all you want.  But fact is you are committing a crime.

omg dude plz take ur "facts" and stick them far up into place where someone cares.. you are not aware of my living situation except as far as i have revealed here.. your extreme language is not welcome here.. call the police and tell them all about my "crimes" i am sure they will do what they always do.. ie nothing. i had police in my apartment just last week- for another reason i had to call them- it was clear what it was doing with an obvious extension cord leading out my unit yet for some reason they did not even bring it up.. curious no? now notlist3d ur probably too 1337 to reason with a newb like me so i'm just going to end this stupid conversation

I'm aware your using your neighbor's electricity without permission.  Just ask him... you said you were going to.   

It has nothing to do with living situation.  I don't believe my language is extreme.  I have only tried to explain what your doing is not a moral grey, it's a crime.  A harmless crime?  Yes... most likely no one will be harmed with it.   I don't think a extension cord will cause the end of the world, but I am able to see it's a crime.

I find it funny you justify it.  I'm not 1337 or above anyone.  I just suggest talking to your neighbor saying "Hey I'm going to use your plug in here let me know if any issues happen"  Just that much.

what a heckler u are.. u must be getting off on this moral high ground.. enjoying the view from up there?
i said this conversation was over-meaning i wasnt gonna respond to u anymore, but i can see this taking some interesting turns before swerving off and incinerating in some forgotten mental wasteland. yes yes i am committing a crime.. hello NSA can you hear me! plz plz do something! i am sure this dude will bust a nut or whatever pleasure he finds in this useless debate.. oh wait a second i guess that makes <gasp> a criminal! zomfg what to do. what to do? maybe first i'll go confess to my neighbor and give him my bitcoin miners.. then i will go to the police station.. i know! i will even bring handcuffs and take care of the criminal myself.. maybe they will both give me a medal and put me in jail simultaneously? wouldnt that be a moral victory for those dreggers of society-ie me!
wow this could really be a breakthrough day.. thank you! maybe this is will be the step to end crime once and for all!
