I think he has nothing to fear. He's been hiding for years and even this investigation in Sweden got dropped. It's the same with His threats that he won't forgive. Nobody will fear or worry about what he's saying, because he'd publish new leaks anyway, so there's nothing more he can do. If the investigation was orchestrated by the US, they didn't achieve much.

I think the building looks great, I love the climate of it. New, shiny miners surrounded by old industrial walls, like a hacker's hideout. If I were living nearby I'd help you set it up for free just for the fun of it ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) You should be able to make it happen, just get all the paperwork done. I also don't agree with Amph that it would be considered an abuse. You need to have a written permission to use the building and if anybody asks tell them you're setting up a workshop, they won't care about the details as long as you pay the bills and take responsibility for the property. What you need to take care of is security. Check all the walls for holes that bums and thieves could use, check the old plumbing because you wouldn't want a pipe to burst and drown your miners. Since the building is metal it can get hot in summer, check the temperatures inside on a sunny day. You'll also need people to help you clean it up and someone to set up a modern breaker box. Call the power company to tell you the ratings of the power connection, meaning the max draw from each phase. Good luck!

If they spend several hundred million dollars creating something then they should really be rewarded for that. Unfashionable I know. I'm quite surprised the film industry is still holding up as well as it is.
Films like this can't be created out of thin air. If it did go the same way as the music business then all we'd have to watch would be youtube vloggers whining about their makeup issues.
They can be created out of thin air. Some of those movies including the pirates are so packed with CGA that less than half of it are the actual shots and play. The rest was made in a studio by a bunch of graphics. Mainstream movies are going to shit these days. I'm also amazed that the industry is holding up with the millions they're paying each of the actors and the amount of torrent downloads each of these movies have. I stopped going to the cinema long ago, about the time when I got the Internet. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

You missed so much in those 5 years OP. I feel the same as I should have bought more when I had the chance. The miners are still profitable, a bit less than the first asics, but you can still get a nice return. The problem is the cost of each unit and its power consumption. While years ago you could buy a cheap Asic, that consumed ~300W and costed a few hundred USD, like antminer S1, now you're forced to buy a machine that needs 3 times that and costs much more. Home mining or hobby mining is a thing of the past.

What would happen if you went a bit above those 400W? There are many miners that could be worth it if you had to pay a small fee for a couple hundred Watts more. Buying an s7 4ith 400W free power and paying for an additional 800W would be a good deal, but it would of course depend on how much they'd charge you. Otherwise running an underclocked s5, that doesn't have a decent return at full power isn't worth it.

I think is ok because the value of bitcoin increase huge.When the value will go down,you will found a lower fee.
I think so too. With 1 Bitcoin being worth 1.5k USD, paying less than $1 to send a transaction is nothing but normal. If you were here back when it was worth less than 1000 usd with a fee of around $0.5 you'd have noticed that fees are growing along with Bitcoin. Sad part is we can expect $2 fees when we start getting close to 3000 per Bitcoin, but that's nothing the users cannot handle.

The mainstream press initially reported the arrest and bail of six men from Iraq, Syria, and Bahrain
Bail? Who bailed them? Some human rights organization? Probably their rich masters from the Emirates. The rich are known to be financing the spread of Islam around the world and dedicating a million dollars to a cause is nothing to them. They treat it like a donation to the church. Yet again the majority is afraid of minorities and the racism is being used as a weapon. Why do people fear so much of being called intolerant or racist? It's about time we have no acceptance for migrant crimes. You commit one = you get deported.

One of the biggest secrets in America is that there is not actually a single person who likes Trump, not one. Today it was announced his press secretary thinks he is a scumbag and even Kelly Ann Conway thinks he is a reptile https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/15/business/media/mika-joe-kellyanne-conway.htmlWhen Americans go abroad they are advised by Homeland Security to not let people in other countries know that Trump has no supporters. Some people feel it is a patriotic duty to pretend to support him though. That piece is showing counselor Conway as a two faced liar. I'm not feeling it to be an anti Trump article. I rather pity him for being surrounded with people, who see him only as a ladder they could climb, the money man that will make them rich. He's not the best politician, but he was the better choice and the people didn't choose him because they liked him. Many chose him because they didn't like his opponent.

There are some new rigged casinos, but usually an online dice site ends up either disappearing without attracting any players, or go big and popular and then you're making so much money that trying to scam would be like throwing money away. There were some cases of popular casinos that were rigged, but they were all eventually found and abandoned. I remember one of them made their own seeds, that they switched with provably fair ones, making the site look like provably fair, when in fact it wasn't. If you choose a popular casino, chances that you'll get scammed are slim to none.

Perhaps the solar panels should be used in conjunction with wind generators. Now have design wind turbines that operate not from the wind, and from air currents that go from the ground up. So they turn in any weather.
The problem with wind generators is that they don't work in many places. If you live in lowlands or surrounded by high trees you won't get enough wind to justify the cost of a generator. You'd have to build a very high mast or a tower to put it on. I've seen generators attached to balloons that can work in such conditions, but those might work like lightning beacons ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) You'd have to remember to reel it in before a storm.

I just had a thought that one day my child will stumble upon one of my old hard drives and discover strange files that no modern player will support and those will be my beloved mp3s. He/she will listen and frown at the quality, just like we're frowning when someone plays a crackling vinyl record. ![Embarrassed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/embarrassed.gif) I felt a similar end of an era when they stopped updating Winamp.

I would also be worried about a possible leak of ID's, but fortunately most exchanges that require a an ID scan allow you to put watermarks all over it or scan it with a lower resolution, so it can't be reprinted and used by criminals. If you're worried about a possible loss of anonymity then you have nothing to fear. In today's world we have no anonymity. All our activity leaves an internet footprint, and footprints create a path that someone can follow. Many people were found through doxes, because once in their lifetime they registered a domain or had a social media account. An exchange is just another point of leakage.

OP, your transaction landed in a pool of 63588 unconfirmed transactions in the last 24 hours and you sent it only 6 hours ago. Looking at these numbers you can expect it to confirm within the next 8 hours, so go to bed and when you wake up it should be there all fine and green. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Next time set a bigger fee. Only 4 satoshis more would have bought you a 3h confirmation! Now ask yourself if those 10 hours more that you will have to wait were worth 4 sat.

I don't believe there will be a fork, I think one way or the other consensus will be reached. It will take a long time and it will be long overdue to fix the scaling issues experienced now but it will happen eventually.
I dont think we have "a long time". I think it might already be holding the price rise back. Come on, the price is rising like crazy. Just this month it gained close to 500USD in 2 weeks. Do you expect it to go faster, or what? The fork won't happen, BU hasn't got enough support and it doesn't seem to be changing. If there's any update coming it will be Segwit, not BU, but I doubt any of them will get enough support, because people love to disagree and quarrel. We'll be sitting on our good old block size and complaining this time next year, you'll see.

In the of vastly climate change, renewable energy would be a good platform for mitigating this problem, renewable energy can serve us source of energy but this type of energy is not sufficient for us. So renewable energy should be developed more and storage capacity should be developed.
Who told you that? Renewable energy is completely sufficient, but it's much more expensive to produce. That is why governments like to avoid it or dedicate only a small percent of power production to renewables to act like they care. Renewable energy is for instance water, and you can build several dams on a single river and produce plenty of power. The only problem is cost.

Be prepared for a negative answer. Do you know why it previously got rejected? I'll tell you: because of volatility and lack of protection for the investors. Since this has not changed we can assume the answer will be negative again. SEC has nothin to do with bitcoin, don't worry about its accouncements. Follow the bitcoin discussion part of the forum, there are topics opened, related to this.
Lol Not a very constructive comment ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Bitcoin developers will solve these scaling problems and Bitcoin returns to be the cheap and fast payment system it was some years ago. I hope so ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Bitcoin users will move all their BTCs to the so-called "altcoins". Most of these altcoins are already far better than BTC, regarding technical specs, confirmation time, privacy, etc. Dash, Monero, DOGE, LTC, etc. all of them are better than Bitcoin. There's never something like "all their BTCs" people never work as a single organism. I'm not considering a move to any of the altcoins as long as Bitcoin presents a decent value. Bitcoin transaction will become less and less because its users will just hold their coins. Thus BTC would become a sort of digital asset, with no actual use as a payment system. (Note that Satoshi thought of Bitcoin mainly as an innovative payment system) It may happen if the fees are too high, but notice that along with the fees rises the value of Bitcoin. People will get tired of cryptocoins and move back to the ol' banking system. Impossible. Crypto gives them something the banking system never will: privacy.

It doesn't seem like they will accept it. My wild guess is they put a lot of pressure on them via expensive lawyers and possibly the recent rise of acceptance around the world, so the SEC agree to take another look. What they failed to do is find answers to all the problems the Commission found when it reviewed the case. If it goes through there will be some serious money involved.

We care because it's almost impossible to get money back if you paid with crypto. Even if a casino is provably fair you can be scammed there, so it's important to give feedback. Because 99% of the people here haven't set foot in a real casino or sportsbook but they love to pretend to 'know things' and act like keyboard warriors while understanding jack shit ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) You see, the most active ones are the biggest clowns I'd say the ones that spam with alts are even bigger clowns, wouldn't you agree?
