No. I don't think so. The militants would have taken the bank officials hostage, and they would have then demanded the private keys them. And if that happens, the money is gone for ever. I could never be recovered.

2 of 3, only have 1 of the 3 at the bank, the other 2 at locations that the 1 doesn't know.

it would be cool if we had a paul/pau 2016 campaign.. though ron would have to pulled out of retirement  Cheesy

but i think they are too similar and wouldn't appeal enough to the populous.

That wouldn't happen unless there was a Battle of Athens at every single precinct in the US to actually have their votes counted.

Will the answers be all lowercase, no punctuation or numbers, and will the words have spaces between them? And will the keys be compressed or uncompressed?

I have a concealed carry permit Cool but I open carry when I do local deals, It makes them think twice if they had any ill intentions to start with. We know not all people use bitcoin in legal ways, and you never know who you area dealing with.

Impossible. Everyone knows that open carriers get shot the instant they are within 100 yards of a criminal, have their guns taken from their retention holsters, and are then coup de grace'd with them.  Roll Eyes

I have some doubts that it will work properly in micro-gravity.

May I know why, I'm curious ?

I suspect the reason is that gravity is involved in the process of laying down the layers. Micro-gravity may affect this.
I don't think so, but that'd be easy to test....run a 3d printer upside down or sideways. 

One obvious issue is that at startup, the extruder head comes up to speed.  As it does, the filament starts oozing out.  then the thing goes to a start point, starts laying a thread down and goes to the build position.

With the standard printer in zeroG, the ooze would just accumulate on the extruder head, which would be a big mess. 

So there are minor differences.  Enough to probably keep one Hacker Maker busy for a few hours.

Or a NASA department in perpetuity.

This sorta reminds me of a story I heard some time ago(it may be just a myth, but it's nonetheless interesting). Upon reaching micro-gravity astronauts and people at NASA noticed that the regular pen can't write in such condition, due to the lack of gravity that pushes the ink down.
After a couple of years and good few million dollars later, they invented a special pen that could write in the most vicious enviroments.
Russian cosmonauts faced this issue too. They used pencils!

Oh noes!  They're going to be printing guns in outer space!!!

Seriously, I wonder what micro gravity will do to the layering.

This is a good question, for sure it will affect the layering in a way or another.

I'm waiting to see how will this work, as I like the 3D printing field.

What do people do with 3D printer?

Is there a commercial use for it?


It's used in many applications, and yes, commercial ones, latest applications, was guns, which really killed people.

The only people killed by 3D printed guns were the people firing them.

the question is: why spend bitcoin if it will be worth more in the future?)

Or, why acquire bitcoin in the first place, because it might be worth 999 decillion dollars in the future? At what point do you stop converting your fiat to something you will never use because you're waiting for it to be worth infinitely more?

Unless grocery stores accept BTC for reloadable store gift cards like Starbucks'. Load in advance of checkout at a kiosk.

IIRC, eBay makes you put it in Classified Ads, which is a place where PayPal isn't.

Survey doesn't have an option for 0%, which is equivalent to answering "NO" to this topic title.
