Yes I am aware that there are more nuclear reactors that haven't had catastrophic failures that have resulted in massive and unresolvable pollution effects that have damaged those that were completely unrelated to the reactor and derived none of its benefits while running.
So how rare are these windmill meltdowns?

You brought up the comparison, claiming the fission reactors are cleaner and safer.  Maybe you are right, but just how did you come to this assessment?

It will over-correct, and then come up from that, irrespective of central banking influences (which effect everything priced, and also oil).
Usage will increase due to the lower price.  Some of that will be price dependent uses (some things are economical at a lower price but not at a higher price).  Those will trail off when price climbs again.

You should understand that "demand" and "usage" are not the same thing here.  USAGE increased, DEMAND (at a given price) decreased because of expectations of increasing SUPPLY.

The suppliers then rush to get the oil sold asap so they can get ahead of a price drop, which drives it lower still.  So it over-corrects.  It happens on the rises too.

Usage is also a measure of economic activity.  Globally usage is increasing, it will likely increase more swiftly with the lower prices.

Because windmills also sometimes create superfund radioactive sites where human life is impossible for generations?
Nuclear is safer and cleaner, except when it isn't.  Fusion reactors please.  These fission fails are for the lose.

If we wanted to repeat the game with the secrets revealed, there could be the addition, "The Exploration Game", which could add provably fair random quarry numbers that result from hiring geologists to survey some lands.  It would be a bit of a gamble, because you would have to pay before you knew the result, but once you have the result, you could then auction or sell the quarry on a market, or run a quarry.  It's value would fluctuate based on stone price, quarry location excellence, and other factors. 

The risk of gold has a lot to do with its physical properties.  In the Egyptian pyramids, the gold (that hadn't been plundered) was just as it was when it was put there.  Most everything else was ravaged by time.  The small silver chains had become silver oxide dust, even most of the language was lost to antiquity and great effort has gone into decyphering its meanings with moderate success.

BIS still lists gold as an Tier 1 asset for central banks that use the option to do so.  The other tier 1 assets are mostly other central bank currencies and form the SDRs for inter-central bank settlements.  We aren't handing it back and forth to buy and sell stuff, but the central banks sometimes still do so.

It will also over-correct (and may be doing so now) because with the expectation of lower prices in the future, there will be a rush to fill the market at the current price ahead of competition which will drive prices lower than the market-clearing rate.

The expert on negative feedback tells all.

1,000,000 are mined by the the king.
Mining is done each day.

Yes, the way it was written it could have been ambiguous without seeing the example of how it is done in the game, it is fairly plain once you see how it has worked in operation.

English is a sometimes tricky language.

The total grows 5K per year as HM previously elucidated.  This has been constant (though years to days has halved).  We are still in the Ancient phase.

The production rate is pretty well determined from the outset.  So it may not be the production that matters so much.... Say if Karpales may find another 600K bitcoin somewhere in an "old format wallet" after all the BK issues are resolved.

LOL, you know Wei Dai wrote that like a decade before Bitcoin right?
Justus is merely pointing out that the anti-theft elements of cryptographic solutions were contemplated long before it occurred to oakpacific this week.
The potential to do what governing that needs to be done with less of a central authority is one of the values crypto has the potential to add.

And Charlie pled out to a Money Transmission violation, not theft anyway.  The MTLs are arbitrary barriers to entry set up by banking to wall off their industry from competition.  I don't know who Charlie's victim is there... Citibank? for not being able to collect their customary fees?

The MTLs are part of banking's war on cash.  So that they can control the ledgers.  The Bank Secrecy Act laws preventing un-monitored transfers of US$10K were written when? in 1970? They haven't been adjusted for inflation since?

In today's dollars that would be over US$60K

So what may have been thought of as a reasonable law then, is insane today.   The frog is well and truly boiled.

Sometimes people just die in jail and never make it to a trial.  Some are unexplained, others are "suicides" or "natural causes".  I hear it is not a fun place and can be depressing or stressful.

This is the live cat bounce?

I looked at both and agree.
It isn't the same at all, but it is similar.  
So it's probably "good enough" for some folks, up until when it isn't good enough.
The wallet is great for all who are married for life to XBC, and I'm happy it is there, but also like the availability of privacy built in to the XMR protocol.
That it is built in, makes best practice into common practice.  Choices make both better.

In a way, the moneritos and CKG are side chains of Monero, even the stone, clothes and houses.  Functionally they are similar, but without the mining.
They are another type of currency.  Instead of proof of work, they are proof of fun.

Did you miss Rocks post above discussing the vulnerability of using new computers, or just saying it is safe enough for you because you disagree with the risk?

I wish you were right and that the bubble would pop and get a little bit of fiscal and monetary sanity back, but look at the numbers.  The Fed created over 4 Trillion of new money on its balance sheet in the last QE.  (The UCB, China, BOE and others are still pumping strong yet so we won't even start adding those.)
Globally 550 Billion of new bond debt issues in oil and gas total globally since 2010 were issued.
Most estimates are that this can get up to maybe 10% default rate.  The magnitude of the issue is dwarfed by new money creation which is still ongoing.

The point here is that it doesn't pop the bubble, its just froth.  Its still getting worse and will likely continue to do so with the QE being considered a "success" until it is much worse than this.
