Seriously now people, the joke has gone too far! Get a sundial, how could you even consider that the earth was a globe? Kansas is flatter than a pancake and they've gone and proven this at a university. The only evidence that exists for a globe earth is badly hoaxed images.

What about 11111111111111111111BZbvjr
what's this address 1ByteCoinAddressesMatch1kpCxNXmHKW

The temperature of one blade is now 85°F and bitcoind connectivity is almost completely gone.
So am I like the bad guy here? Is this why I'm being attacked?
Edit:
I've restored bitcoind connectivity by raising the minimum transaction fee to 0.0005 BTC and cooled the miner to 71°F by dropping its frequency.

![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FsQMqh42.png&t=664&c=eqCsWCSDfLWPxw) You can see it just drops off completely for short periods, the miner doesn't like this.

They're trying to overheat my miner? Blades running at 71°F and 77°F, a 10°F jump in temperature and I'm also seeing intermittent bitcoind connectivity issues.
This feels more like an attempted denial of service attack on my computer than a test.

I think they are free to do anything they want to. I don't see it as an act of vandalism or any sort of action that tantamounts to sabotage. At least it tells us one thing, that bitcoin is obviously not ready for future acceptance.
The only thing it tells us is that there are some fancy boys out there willing to flush their money down the drain in order to create some FUD. Include a reasonable TX fee and you'll get confirmation in the next mined block. Unless they're willing to flush more than a few million dollars worth of BTC they're not clogging up shit. Buying a few mil worth of BTC would also drive the price up negating the whole FUD scenario. They can't win, it's like watching a reeled in fish flopping around on the floor of a boat.

I look 10 years younger than that I did 10 years ago. In fact the guys at the licensing bureau thought they made a mistake and pulled a decades old picture from their files and used on my license. ROFL The only downside is I can't be in direct sunlight without getting severe radiation burns and florescent lights are a motherfucker. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Oh my, 3 blocks in 24h. ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Oh and forrest, ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F7uGexUh.jpg&t=664&c=tOf0XWfenCXTFQ)

The attack is actually a joke, just add the following to your bitcoin.conf and it won't have any effect. blockmaxsize=1000000 mintxfee=0.00005 minrelaytxfee=0.00005 limitfreerelay=5
The attacker simply increases the transaction fee at no cost to the attacker. There is a lot more to this attack than meets the eye. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1157584.msg12277703#msg12277703. If the attacker doesn't pay at least 0.0005 BTC per transaction my node doesn't include it in the next mined block nor does it relay the transaction. The attacker isn't the one setting the transaction fee here; he's merely influencing the minimum fee I charge based the maximum he's will willing to pay for his spam. So unless you want to include disinformation, no there's not a lot more to this attack than meets the eye.

Type "SEPTEMBER 23RD 2015" into Google Maps.
People have mentioned this... I know it's weird, but apparently it's google ad-sense matched it to the date, because most people looking up one, look up the other one. But funny nonetheless. Let me get this straight, Google's Maps AI has linked CERN and Newton's September 23rd Apocalypse together based on peoples search patterns. That's more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

Why, to reveal a certain vulnerability and make everyone believe that we needed a quick fix immediately. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Probably because they need it faster than you and I do and they are putting their money where their mouth is. Either way, bitcoin is an open network so they are free do to whatever they want. Agreed on the last bit, but creating a problem to force a solution is different from a natural-occurring problem with a carefully-planned solution. Btw, when was the attack going to take place? "problem reaction solution" hmmm, let me put on my thinking cap and try to think where have I heard this before?? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FE9rE3Xk.jpg&t=664&c=T5VEypcG7ufy1w)

So the end of the world as we know it is coming this month eh? What could cause such a catastrophe you ask?
The answer may surprise you and it involves the giant toxic algae blob that's currently attacking the Pacific coastline. This monster however is not the cause but a side effect.
Let's go back a few years to when the ocean was boiling around the Fukushima "accident" site. You see when the reactors exploded they ejected their plutonium MOX cores into the ocean. The boiling has since stopped but the hot water has spread out into a warm patch that's incubated the algae blob.
What's this got to do with the end you ask? It's a stinking, toxic, radiation fueled monster but it's certainly not the end of the world.
The end my friend is a supervolcano, you see the boiling around the Fukushima plant has stopped because the cores have melted their way into the Earth. They're currently weeks if not days from reaching the depth where they trigger an eruption so large it will black out the sun for a decade.
The end.
The star opened the pit of the abyss, and smoke rose out of it like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke from the pit. -- Revelation 9:2
You never know what it could be. I do think a volcano will probably blow at some point. But I really don't think the end of the world will be this month. I think a lot of people are going to be... disappointed? I do not believe in a pre-trib rapture, and those people will be disappointed I think, and also made fun of. But the bible clearly talks about Christians going through the tribulation. You're not getting cold feet are you honey? You started this Revelations thread! Now that I bring the prophecy to light you put up a rapture strawman to deny the words written in the book of Revelations? Take a shot of that Kool-Aid you're passing around! HAARP is the angel sounding his trumpet, The MOX core is the star blown sky high and fallen back to earth, the toxic algae blob is the bitter wormwood. The star has been falling for years now and is no doubt very close to the bottom of the pit. You see once the abyss is open and the sun is darkened, the moon no longer gives her light, and the stars have fallen from heaven the tribulation is over.
