I have something similar in the works for myself, except that its going to be full server rack size and I hope to put 5 to 6 rigs in one rack, vertically stacked ontop of each other.  Then I want to encase the whole thing in some sort of "mesh" to keep kids fingers out, and mount some kind of fans on the back side to keep the air blowing across each of the rigs so the hot air doesn't "pool".  I'm not sure if I"m going to cheap out and do something like box fans or try to do some kind of larger mounted fan solution almost like a fan on a car radiator.  Again I'll have to think of small fingers!

I still have a bunch of 80mm fans from Newegg from when I needed two and you could buy 10 or 12 for the same price as 3. Might be worth seeing if that deal is still going.

FWIW, I went to bed leaving HHTT as primary and Slush as secondary and Slush was up and running when I checked this morning.

Something going on? Unable to connect to HHTT pools so dropped back to Slush's and no go there either. Internet is fine.

Edit: Looks like HHTT is back. Time for bed...

Edit2: Not this morning. Had fallen back to Slush's.

Let's be fair with them, they would be pretty well off, however, with the depreciation of fiats and appreciation of bitcoin we are approaching convergence pretty quick, and in the end we are on pretty much equal footing.

On the contrary, the divergence is accelerating. Governments are no longer in the situation of kicking the can down the road but are in the process of following it off the cliff at the end. Meanwhile, Bitcoin came through quite a serious crisis with barely a scratch.

Well, I meant the convergence of wealth held by an early-in-early-out adopter and a coming-to-the-party-late buyer. Wink

Ah, gotcha Smiley

Must be a typo...OP probably meant $100.

Twice? in the title and in the post.

So $200 then?

Let's pick some more:

Segment about Satoshi: "Who are you", The Who

Segment segueing from the first big rally & crash to the current rally: "You aint seen nothing yet", Bachman Turner Overdrive

Obviously, "The Taxman" by The Beatles has to be worked in somewhere too.

The problem is those societies are universally much worse off than societies with social security. So the empirical evidence strongly suggest in favor of social security.

Cause... effect... yadda yadda...

If you can side-load, let me have your address and I'll spit out an APK that will work for you.
5692  Economy / Speculation / Re: $75...today? on: March 24, 2013, 08:01:03 PM
Just wait til Monday.  As all the new users send their millions of $ into the exchange, we're going to see record bids.  The moment $75 gets hit, large buys take us all the way to $80, and the Wednesday rocket will take us to $85-90.  A nice correction over next weekend for Easter, but then we hit $100.

Get yourself ready.

Sounds like a plan! Just wish I'd gotten a chance to get in on that $52 dip. Oh well, can't win em all.

I was asleep. Oh well...
5693  Economy / Speculation / Re: If the 75$/bitcoin price was a bubble on: March 24, 2013, 07:57:30 PM

Reading this gave me a sick feeling in my stomach. Do you honestly think that in order to believe in bitcoin (which we'll consider for the time being as being a public company stock, because that's exactly what it is) you have to *buy* it even when you don't need any bitcoins? Buy bitcoins when you need them, sell them when you don't. That's what a *currency* is for. Do you buy Canadian currency regularly while living in America? Do you buy Korean Won while living in Africa? Do you put money into your paypal account when you have no intention of paying for anything with Paypal this month? Why would anyone who believes in Bitcoin as a currency act in this way?

Okay, so you're not believing in it as a currency (good, because it's not one), but as a stock of a public company, whose owners are *everyone* who uses it and the stock splits every block. Fine. Then you're involved in bitcoin as an investment scheme.

To summarize:

If you believe in bitcoin, use it.
If you want to play the lottery and get rich quick, take the risk of buying some and holding them.



Just like you keep some $ in your wallet, you probably want to hold some BTC even if you just want to use it as a currency right now. I spent a few of mine last week and by the time I replenished them, the price was up over $5.
5694  Economy / Speculation / Re: Looks like we are going to hit 1000 usd this year on: March 24, 2013, 07:53:31 PM
I'll give OP a bitcoin if it hits $1000/BTC this year.  Will not happen.



You may want to put an upper limit on that Wink

5696  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Breaking: No deal for Cyprus despite widespread contradictory reports? on: March 24, 2013, 07:20:39 PM
I've been watching a lot of people sell (all day) and have been wondering "What on earth are people thinking?!". Monday or Tuesday could deliver some historic and shocking developments that could rock markets around the world. 

I keep wanting to stop buying. Then governments keep doing stupid sh*t.
5697  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Social security is the govs way of saying you are too stupid to save your own $$ on: March 24, 2013, 07:15:46 PM

Once you've done that, we can move on to force. As you know, buying automobile insurance is forced. I know you disagree with that concept, but it's reality. Can you think of other ways in which society forces things? I think you can. Please enumerate some.

Government is not society.
5698  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Social security is the govs way of saying you are too stupid to save your own $$ on: March 24, 2013, 07:12:13 PM

Please remember that, as an insurance/Ponzi scheme, one's SSI is not paid for with one's own money. It's paid for with other people's money, which is taken from them by force. If it were my own money coming back to me, that would make it a savings account.

Sooner or later, the young people will get pissed off and say "Enough".

Then the old people will say "But what about all the money I paid in"

And the young people will say "That was your responsibility to put a stop to that when *you* were young. You failed to protect your income to provide for your own future."

And those that see this coming will be prepared and live comfortably

And those that hoped to live off the backs of others in the face of brutal demographics...

It would be really nice to open the film with just a screen of the text appearing letter by letter, with the sound of typing.


I believe it's a legal requirement, mandated by international treaties, that any such documentary begins with Pink Floyd's "Money"

Awesome - mind sharing the app or better the sources on github?

But then you would see my shitty code... Sad

It needs a bit more polishing first in any case. The address is hardcoded.
