How does one would use this, assuming it work, without moving to a fork?

I think it is and i don't think its comparable. You learn how to spend your cash, how not to spend your cash. You don't need to learn the the physical mechanic of spending cash; it is *take* and *hold in hand and give over*.
Bitcoin is technical, it require a minimum computer skills and a minimum of awareness to not get screw over, because it does not work mechanically like "Cash" and you need to understand the concept of how it work. It can do things Cash can't and cannot do things Cash can.

If the person you are talking to isint interested in learning the concept of how it works, he shouldn't be using it. At least until he decide to open his mind and grasp his head around it. Sadly looking at older generation of people, no matter what you do, some people just consciously/unconsciously decide not to put effort into new things. So trying to enable it "for everyone" in its current state is pointless. When/if BTC is integrated to bank and they can just transfer funds like they do now, then only then will it be "for everyone".

If he need to do a one time thing through Bitcoin, hold hand services such as previously mentioned at OP or Circle.com can come in handy. But you can't just hold everyone's hand all day everyday, because that is what you would need.

See you on your next scam!~

Canada has an amazing policy on this currently. So i am very content with this.

Then again, it's really hard for any government to crack down on you if you have BTC and bought something online with it, sooo.

Is it that big of an issue?

People get scammed all the time so there must be a lot of silly people

Did OP post a scam link yet ? Was kind of half expecting it by now. ^_^"

Hmm. I'd say pitch that they can simply register a card to Circle.com, set an amount and done. You have BTC and its in a wallet.

Then maybe explain for regular usage you can avoid fee by going the decentralized and true route. And god, you can recommend SPV wallets. Takes a min to sync and doesn't fill your hardware with its blockchain.

You can try to make a for dummy service but err, meh. I'm not sure someone who doesn't want to take a bit of time to understand at first should try to get into BTC anyways.

Yeah i think so. I've had 2 in my room along with a GPU doing x11. And without air flow, it got hot as hell and the fan became fairly loud, we had that hot pass here where outdoor temp was 33c, 40c with humidity factor.

So very quiet, as long as the heat does not accumulate or ambient temp go too high. So just a thing to keep in mind for OP.

Personally i'd like just individual units. The thoughts of linking them together isint bad, however... It might just become a pain if you need to separate them and the sides can't do anything without the center. So you'd have 3 unit goes down with a single point of failure. I think i'll stick to S5's for now. Hopefully this loosen some S5 that someone can sell me after they get these. (lol)

So if i could have it my way, i'd take them as a real S5+, a single unit.

Yeahhh, you wish. That single middle unit thing drain 4time the power of a S3. ^_^"

Definitively not use GPU for Bitcoin. Point it at Nicehash if you don't know what to do, or something.

Could see to get your hand on a S1. Maybe you could get one for 30$ and power it off your desktop PSU if you have the spare connector. Underclocked to lowest i think you get 130gh for a bit less than 130w.  The rest is as above.

But those thing are only truly really quiet in the cool.

But the s5+ just seem undervolted S5 stuff, with more chips. If bitmain labeled that S7, that would be hella inappropriate. They might have came up with the S5+ in the mean time since that's good for their market and mines but its not really a new generation, is it?

I think the NSA have better things to do than actively observe a zettabyte per month of data sent back and forth all over the world. Sure they can target and access many systems, there are reports of US DoD governmental IPs poking in servers here and there way outside the US, but relax a little. xD

It's not like there's a team of analyst assigned to every person connected to the internet 24/7.

Take care of your traceability if you are paranoid and you'll (probably) be fine.

Haha, of course. People would kill for a double your BTC every month. I think some people are getting confused with BTC earning. Like a user was saying 1th meant 0.01btc... per hour. Things like that.

That would definitively give you 100% ROI per month ^_^"

That's genius. Might lose a few pennies on the shipping but you'd avoid so many issues with imports.

Okay i read both emplacement and will add all further information to https://github.com/bitcoin-solutions/multibit-hd/issues/697

Edit for search engine:

The issue was Tor related.
Disable Tor. For now.

How would having 50BTC make you earn 50~ BTC per month? I'd sure like to know that one

Don't give the Chinese any ideas.

Bitmain; "Yes, as all PCI-e Cables have been running over spec, they all vaporised and burned, therefore all your contracts are void, bye."

I jest, i don't mean anything by it. ;P

However this brings the question; Does this mean we no longer get an announcement on the alleged s7 next month-ish?

I wouldn't mind that much, considering if this "was it", just mean what i have right now will stay effective for a bit longer. But i would like to see a newer small factor miner soon.
