Immediately scam? you do not even have registered and are not sure of that.
Do not accuse the project without knowing nothing about it

Yup.

I came in the thread wondering who the Hell this guy was. I was hoping he was some kind of cheese-maker... Could we maybe turn this into a fontina porn thread?

She's getting absolutely screwed over by the mainstream media in the UK at the moment. We all know Charles Saatchi has a lot of money, and also media contacts that will paint him in the best way, whilst they dig dirt on Nigella. It sickens me.

Yes, Nigella probably does have some money herself, but nowhere near the same amount that Charles Saatchi has. I thought it'd be a great PR story for bitcoin, if we could raise some bitcoins for her to put towards her funding some good PR for her.

Thoughts?

We don't need the banks any more. There'll be some that embrace cryptos - some people would just rather somebody else looks after their money.

Nope. Almost impossible currently

I don't have Coinseeker on my ignore and be ready for that .. I even quote him!!!!

theres a good chance the bears have some more ammo, place your bids expecting a higher low.

I think i'm gonna invest all my money in quark coin . What do you guys think about it ?

Why do people lie to their kids about Santa in the first place, knowing that it will just cause major disappointment and possible trust issues later.
And why is it that when they are told that, while one guy with superpowers who can see everything you do and sits in judgment of you is fake, the other one is still real?

Also, wait, wouldn't Santa be one of dank's gods, too?

No offense dude, but you've been quite the zealot yourself recently

Joseph Goebbels ain't got nothing on a bitcoin bull when it comes to propaganda, I tell you that.

lmao. It's nice to be in a bullish community that understands the concept here, sick of arguing with other "citizens" about bitcoin being a ponzi and whatnot - that said, yes - sometimes reality is ignored here. I am a bitcoin turbobull but what can ya say? negative is just negative sometimes. That said,  I don't know how big of an effect this specific negative will have. Perhaps not as severe as some people think - certainly not zero as someone posted somewhere.

Energy efficiency isnt the issue here. Its the bitcoins being generated by mining. 25 per block every roughly ten minutes. Or, in numbers 25BTC/block*6 blocks/hour*24hours/day*30days/months. Thus 108K BTC/month.
And yeah, sorry, that $7.2M/month was an old figure, checked an old version of a spreadsheat. The current numbers are far worse.
So basicly, since the network generates those 108K BTC (or, at current rates ~$108M) per month and most mining hardware barely breaks even nowadays even at those extremely high bitcoin prices its pretty fair to assume that this is the real cost is run the network.

They would just ackowledging bitcoin is real thread to old Bank structures and new people would support Bitcoin idea by buying more miners.

They sort of are toys, but they can be good teaching tools too. I bought 10 for my nephews a few months ago (one 8 and the other 7). They were curious about my rigs and so I thought it would be a good way for them to learn more about btc and alts. They are now fascinated by cryptos. The first thing they do when they get home from school is check to see how much they made, its never much, but it holds their fascination anyway. They will sit there and watch as shares are sent and repeatedly refresh the pool page to see if a block has been found – it is both scary and adorable all at the same time.
At Thanksgiving, I asked them what they wanted for Christmas, from the youngest (the 7 year old), I thought I would get a request for Pokemon or some new gaming system; instead, he asked me for a mining rig so that he could mine litecoin.
They may not be good for ROI, but they can serve a purpose of introducing people to the world. (I also have given about a half-dozen to friends that didn't understand how I could make money with a computer, the results have been hilarious.)

I think in the long term somebody will come up with a universal payment platform that accepts any crypto from a customer and just pays the business in cash.

Most businesses don't want to deal with cryptos directly anyway, and they'll happily pay a small fee for somebody to facilitate crypto transactions for them.

But the structure of this means that bitcoin is no longer needed as a conduit between the alts and cash, a customer can just select their alt from a dropdown box, make a payment, and the business gets cash. Bitcoin is only used if the customer chooses to pay in bitcoin.
