7241  Economy / Securities / Re: [HAVELOCK] PETAMINE - 1,150 TH/S HASH RATE (1GH/S per Unit) on: July 28, 2014, 05:09:30 AM
Estimated Next Difficulty:   18,679,795,923 (+7.75%) (it might be less)
Adjust time:   After 149 Blocks, About 23.1 hours
We will get the next dividend before the change...

Looks like we settled
http://bitcoindifficulty.com/
18,736,441,558
Next difficulty (estimate): 18,727,430,107 (+-0%)

So it landed at 18.7 mill

Wow... has the difficulty reached a plateau?

It's summer so its probably just calmed down due to the dog days and increasing electrical costs associated with that.
A plateau for now but wait for winter
Then we may some strong increases again or the next gen of chips
7242  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let's get the facts straight about Apple. on: July 28, 2014, 05:06:58 AM
Apple is quickly becoming the new Microsoft, a company that everyone loves to hate.

I think it reached that point a while ago the apple hate is strong.
But it's still far from a Microsoft  Wink
Although when the mobile phone market is pretty much two companies and a few minors its hard to not hate on something.

Lets put it this way whales go in one door so everyone knows your rich
Everyone else we let you live here but go in through the poor door so just acknowledge that you are subsidized and work your way up to the rich door if you want to avoid this stigma.

It is a difficult question though
How, and to what extent, should the city mandate economic integration? The Riverside development is unusual, and even vaguely radical, in the sense that its luxury units are condominiums rather than rental apartments.

Still having separate doors is a weird way to protest by developers, they get tax breaks so they shouldn't be raising a fire under their feet.
Still a bit snobby though.
7244  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Philippines adoption on: July 28, 2014, 04:57:16 AM
I've only been away 4 months and so much has happened. I can't wait to get back. I will not be starting an exchange. I'm really not even planning a big business. My goals are to educate people about Bitcoin and facilitate getting businesses to accept it.  I will work on a donation basis, but will likely get an SEC license to cover myself. I have ideas in how to expand into a business, but at this point I'll play it safe.

That sounds like great news I hope you have the best of luck in your business venture and don't forget to tell us how it goes I am curious how the Philippines will adopt Bitcoin and its related technologies.

Solar works but the problem is that it lacks intermittency which is that it provides power consistently regardless of the condition
If its cloudy solar does not produce much power or at night unlike gas and oil which is stable and provides energy regardless of the conditions a steady supply of power is a must.

Wind power is popular but its noisy apparently and a large anti-wind coalition is forming against its implementation near peoples houses.
From the CBC a documentary on that issue.
http://www.cbc.ca/doczone/episodes/wind-rush

* Comments on this documentary suggest some FUD so will just leave the note that in general the noise a wind farm can make can give people grievances who live nearby.
Guess you need to think who put the money into the documentary at the same time.
7247  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Whos paying more Russians or USA ? on: July 28, 2014, 04:19:41 AM
I think Russia does not have as developed PR system as US does.
Russia does have a PR machine. It is the state run media.

True but the Americans have had that since they took it from the Germans in WWII so it's not really a difference in terms of propaganda and media controls.
7248  Other / Off-topic / Re: FIFA World Cup 2014!!! on: July 28, 2014, 04:14:26 AM
Now in next few days European fever is going to start so what and who is going to start with this I am waiting information about teams and players here on this thread  Cheesy
Shouldn't this thread be locked down and someone can create new threads on upcoming tournaments. Just suggesting as this thread doesn't make much sense now as the tournament is already finished almost a month ago.

It depends there is still the FIFA Under 20 World Cup and this thread seems to have more traction that the general football discussion thread does
Then their is the economic and political analysis of the World Cup that we can all scrutinize later so their are some points of utility still.
What will the stadiums be used for, what happened to those people who were kicked out of their favellas, did they make a profit all the knitty gritty stuff after a tournament ends.

Speaking of the political ramifications
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-28508509

World Cup should not be held in Russia, Nick Clegg says

Russia should lose the right to host the 2018 World Cup as part of tougher sanctions following the plane crash in eastern Ukraine, Nick Clegg has said.

The UK deputy prime minister told the Sunday Times it was "unthinkable" that Russia should host the football event.

Pro-Russian separatist rebels have been accused of shooting down the Malaysia Airlines jet. Russia has suggested it could have been the Ukraine military.

World football governing body Fifa has rejected calls to change the 2018 host.

Responding after some German politicians also called for Russia to be boycotted, Fifa said the 2018 tournament could be a "force for good".

So it looks like more attempts to do a moscow boycott like the Olympics during the cold war

i got a philippino dude into mining bitcoins.. it broke down on him though  Cheesy

Yah its bloody hot down there not the best place for mining although I do recall a few mining centers in a company prospectus or two since the electricity in some parts of the country can be very cheap.

I guess you can be a denier in the sense you want to keep the status quo and not burn the economy now and the consumerism and standard of living we in the west presently have.

But in exchange we will damage the ecosystem for the future with pollution and what not and contaminate the land/water reservoirs to get the oil and gas supplies from deep underground.

So economic denial-ism for climate change.

So Ecuador is considering the route of the Mintchip interesting in one sense embracing digital currencies but at the same time banning it.
I think their opinions will change though.

Although it does bug me that its all the bitcoin news feeds that put this up not to many alternative sources

7254  Bitcoin / Press / Re: 2014-01-24 - This is What it’s Like to Be a Woman at a Bitcoin Meetup on: July 28, 2014, 12:44:47 AM
Fine since this topic was reopened I was wondering if anyone in the forum open question has seen more women at Bitcoin meetups over the last 6 months seems like a fairly decent period to observe in.
Or are the demographics still the same a lot more adoption overstock, Expedia, Dish Network etc. Might have a small demographic effect on new interested woman users.
7255  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2014-07-26] Why Bitcoin May One Day Split Into Black and White Coins on: July 28, 2014, 12:42:39 AM
It is fashionable to write about the BTC in press. But very rarely you can read something really interesting. Usually it is junk, like this article.

It could very well be, lot of fluffy articles but I'm guessing its more from people who don't really get Bitcoin yet but just need to write some headline on it.
7256  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Attn: Human Influenced Climate Change deniers on: July 28, 2014, 12:37:52 AM
Not a denier
Read enough of the Quest from Yergin to pretty much say that the data now backs up the accusations and was 20-30 years in the making where it was fuzzy before the models are closer to conclusive evidence for it.

But hmm move the planet like in futurama  Grin
7257  Other / Politics & Society / Re: United States publish new evidence shelling Ukraine from Russia on: July 28, 2014, 12:33:20 AM
The first picture shows the effects of effort on Ukrainian territory with multiple rocket launchers, second and third - the results of the self-propelled artillery shelling by Ukrainian military unit. The fourth shot rocket system fired at targets from the territory of Ukraine at the border - according to the U.S. in this case was about the use of facilities provided by the separatists from Russia.

https://twitter.com/GeoffPyatt/status/493411896222302208/photo/1
Ukrainian military have long claimed that their position near the Russian border often fired or the direction of the border, or even from Russia. These statements are confirmed in social networks and the Russians themselves, residents of border villages and soldiers who boasted of his attacks. Western intelligence sources also said that Ukraine should confirm attacks on Russian territory. Russia rejects all evidence of this and calls them false......)))))

well yes, some of the picture, shows traces of shells if I did interpret the image correctly, but where is the proof that it was Russia behind it I mean really and what with the poor quality satellite pictures with several days interval, I'm pretty sure that the US has tons of drones with high resolutions picture flying around the area from the Ukraine side, and that's without speaking about the fact that current satelitte can take picture way more accuratly heck even commercial solutions shows better picture, example http://www.digitalglobe.com/

I've been a bit suspicious of it myself, I mean if the Americans had so many satellites focuses on that area they would have released all the data they had to prove conclusively that it was the Russians that launched those missiles or the russian backed rebels, instead they are releasing some patchy information meaning its either in a gray area or they can't prove it conclusively.

But perhaps its true multiple sources releasing that news

7258  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Whos paying more Russians or USA ? on: July 28, 2014, 12:30:46 AM
I know that USA and Russia employs paid posters who pays more? What is the requirements?

Honestly that would be a good question probably the USA since they have a larger agenda on various issues
The Russias would pay for the propoganda they need though so they might out bid.

That said Blackwater and the shadow agencies go to the highest bidder so they probably both pay out enough at different times.

Anyways bit of a weird topic; but it was a tad amusing.

That signature campaign has been now cancelled as no one is interested in joining it. Smiley
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=710993.msg8051455#msg8051455

That was a fast one didn't even get to evaluate it anyways I guess it shows that their is Bitcoin to be made outside of the bitcointalk forums in other alt-coin sections.
If that qualified as an alt-coin campaign or an external reference to another site.
