Its projects like these that first caught my attention with Feathercoin. Very cool to see it finished!

Atomic Purple, Red Rage, KillerSWARM, HornetBOMB, BeeBOMB, and Taco Fuego are now all in stock.

Those sold out quick. Any idea when Taco Fuego and Revenge BBQ will be back in stock? Id like to try those plus the BeeBOMB and HornetBOMB.

Revenge is in now, as is taco fuego Cheesy

Ordered!

I see you are out of PA. Not too far from me, Im near Cumberland, MD.

Order received today, I only just took a small taste of To The Moon so far but the smell alone of these is amazing! It smells like I cooked it up myself with fresh ingredients. I cant wait to fire up the grill!

Also Id like to give a major customer service kudos. I ordered the Hornet sauce (among others) and apparently they sold out (maybe multiple orders went online at once) so I was refunded the money AND given the To The Moon as replacement. I was not expecting this and would have been perfectly fine with a refund or just waiting on new stock but I think PexPeppers went above and beyond and for that reason I will be buying more as well as recommending this to some friends.
Thank you!!

Ive had habanero sauces before and see you rate yours a 7/10. I cant even imagine what atom splitter or even killer swarm is like. I might stick with the lower end stuff. Smiley Ive got a buddy who likes hot stuff, I might grab him a bottle to try.

I used to try and buy at the right time during the lows, etc and ended up getting burnt. Now I buy once a week, every week, regardless of price.

Good luck. It took me months to get mine paid out and its not like I even had a lot. This company started off great, not sure what happened but they went down hill.  Sad
431  Other / Off-topic / Re: Remote Control - Drones, Cars, etc. Do you have a fun RC item? on: March 21, 2015, 01:08:09 PM
Probably nearly 10 years ago now (wow time flies!) my gf at the time bought me a Traxxas TMax nitro RC car. Its been years since I ran it, the last thing I was trying to do was to mount two motors on it and run them together but never finished the project. Just last evening I was talking with my grandpa and he mentioned it. I might have to break  it out this spring, finish it and run it!

Id also like to play with a drone - I had an Rc airplane as a kid but it only lasted about 3 flights before it was destroyed lol

I never sold any but Id be willing to if anyone was interested. Id have to get a larger USB drive as the blockchain will not fit on a 32Gb drive anymore.

I'm using 2 120mm antec three speed fans on medium exhausting out the rear for mine, they stay cool enough.  Watch your power consumption with a killawatt, if you see it creeping up by more than 10w or so over time it's getting too hot.  Also, ambient on mine are between 70-75F, any hotter than that and those fans aren't really sufficient.

Where do you measure your temps from? I have some 120's for mine but after getting them I dont think they will move enough air at 45CFM each. I plan to try them out tonight tho and see what I get.
435  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Best Coin to Mine with a GPU on: January 11, 2015, 03:04:07 PM
Youre not likely to make any money on any GPU coin these days. HOwever, if you like playing with hardware and want to learn go for it. I play around and mine Feathercoin, they switched from scrypt to neo-scrypt so they could stay GPU mineable.
436  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Litecoin can't reach Bitcoin price? on: August 29, 2014, 01:03:09 PM
extra features point, none of those extra "features" are attracting anyone new from outside this very small niche community.

I won't argue against your other statement, but I'd like to talk about this one.

I've heard a lot of Bitcoin/Litecoin people say that, but I'm not sure all of them realize it is just their opinion. It is not based off of any scientific evidence or research.. people just kind of throw this claim out there as if it's true and we are all supposed to believe it. Let me give you a few examples of why my opinion is different.

Asset issuance (many alt coins) - Can bring in businessmen looking to start companies that wouldn't otherwise be able to due to onerous government fees and application processes (SEC)

Crowdfunding (swarm coin, counterparty, etcetra) - Can bring in inventors, artists, game developers, etcetra, that don't want to pay the high fees that websites such as kickstarter and indiegogo charge.

Market pegged assets (bitsharesx) - Can bring in commodity traders looking for a cheaper alternative to existing markets; People that like the ideology of crypto currencies but don't like the (sometimes) massive price fluctuations and uncertainties

Decentralized DNSs (namecoin, etcetra) - Can bring in human rights supporters & internet freedom supporters

Decentralized gambling (lottoshares, etcetra) - Can bring in people that like to gamble but have been too worried to play on centralized websites that can tweak the odds even more in their favor than advertised & no worries about the website stealing your money

Decentralized market places (Nxt, etcetra) - Can bring in people that are tired of getting raped in fees by Ebay & Scampal, deep web market places, etcetra

Decentralized IDs (keyhotee, etcetra) - People that want to secure their financial and personal information, and be able to sign into website with a click of a button instead of entering a user name and password.

I could go on and on... and I'm not even mentioning all the different crowds the above features might bring in. They might not be coming in droves at the moment, but these technologies are new and not very well known right now. Once they are improved upon and more widely known, they very well could catch on due to the numerous advantages that decentralization and block chain technology bring.


While this may be true I dont think its worth much. The original quote says these features do not bring anyone new in and only the people already in the community care and/or buyin to these coins and I tend to agree. Even someone like me who is an active member of the community did not know the details of some of those coins you listed above. If I dont know about them, how is the general public going to know and be able to pick the best for their needs? (Dont take that as 'I know everything about crypto' because I defiantly do not!) Point is there are too many options for a general person to pick from. Chevy, Dodge, Ford - Pepsi, Coke - Dell, HP, Gateway (are they even around anymore) - people like options but they are not going to read the specs of 400 coins to pick exactly whats best for them, they will pick one of the top 5 and deal with it even if there is a 'better' option available.
437  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Litecoin can't reach Bitcoin price? on: August 29, 2014, 12:52:00 PM
Network effect, infrastructure, merchant adoption, development (those apply to all coins versus Bitcoin)

That... and it's a copy and paste coin

sorry but form a real world perspective I don't see anything but something based on bitcoin, but with improvements (eg simplified, capable of mass adoption.)

How exactly is Litecoin more simplified than Bitcoin? It is pretty much the same thing with quicker block times and more money supply. The algorithm is different, but that doesn't have anything to do with it being simpler.

Also, I don't see how it is any more capable of mass adoption than Bitcoin is.


Not specifically directed at you, just ranting:

People complain about cryptos having extra features, but I think it is silly. I have a solution for those people: don't use them. It will attract some users that do want to use them though, and therefore it helps with adoption.

simplified was probably the wrong word to use, i more meant from using both for real world trans ltc is slightly smoother, still personally don't see it as smooth enough for mass adoption.

extra features point, none of those extra "features" are attracting anyone new from outside this very small niche community.



Hey, you wanna know why none of your points make sense? Bitpay.

First off, Litecoin's "slightly smoother" blocktime time of 2.5minutes is Put To Shame by hundreds of altcoins with 20 second and below blocktimes, like Fastcoin etc etc.

Second off, Bitpay requires 0 confirmations for Bitcoin, so you don't have to wait 10minutes like you used to, again, making Litecoin's only "feature" of having a 2.5minute blocktime, irrelevant.

In those respects, along with the fact that Litecoin is a bitcoin clone that offers absolutely nothing, makes Litecoin Useless. The only reason it's "still standing" is because past people have put in some infrastructure into it, but as you can see, it's been on a price decline since November, and has Not followed Bitcoin's in it's price increases etc, which means Litecoin is on its own, it's not the silver to anything, it's worthless.

Very true and I agree with this statement, however it can be used both ways. What happens when bitpay or some other 3rd party comes along and accepts litecoin? Then the 10 minute and 2.5 minute wait are equal and if that happens whats to stop litecoin from over taking Bitcoin? Essentially they do the same thing and by using a 3rd party many of the 'features' are put on the same level. This would be true of any coin, not just BTC vs LTC.

The protocol of these coins is just the beginning, things will really start to come alive when we get more 3rd parties involved. I think whatever coins are picked up there first will be the ones that really take off. So far its Bitcoin but Litecoin also has a payment processor, GoCoin.com so that puts it one step ahead of 400+ other alts - for now anyway.

Hi guys, i'm not in the mining worl anymore since 5 or 6 months... Right now i see all this pictures of this big guys and their colosus mining rigs..
I can't stop thinking that mining is not profitable anymore.
With this prices, if you buy 6000 usd of bitcoins instead of a miner (KNC) you get real profit when the prices go up again.
Im very sab with this cause honestly i love to make money with all my GPUs. I think the industry f*cked all of us.
Thanks for still supporting Bitcoin and litecoin, and giving us more and more security.

I dont think mining is any different today than its ever been. Its almost always been better to just buy coins rather than mine, this hasnt changed.
439  Economy / Speculation / Re: Question For Bitcoin OldTimers on: August 24, 2014, 11:03:12 PM
I don't think it has as big of an impact as most think. It's not like the number coins available is cut in half, just how many new coins are created each day is cut in half. Also everyone knows it will happen and when so its no surprise to anyone.

I say you may see a bump in price but don't expect it to double over night.
440  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Stealing Electricity the next big thing? on: August 24, 2014, 07:41:26 PM
How about the green energy  ?
I heard rumors that a wind energy generator can operate everywhere if its height is at least 20 meter.
Can someone confirm this?

The problem there is the cost to setup. It's very expensive to only produce a few bucks worth of power a month.
