Very good to see when people becoming more and more powerful every day!

 Yes and soon we will be powerful enough to destroy Jupiter and all it's many moons just as we are doing to the earth today  Cry
We already dumped Galileo into Jupiter.  It's like we already ran out of places for our trash.




they are gonna crash juno into the planet too so they dont risk it contaminating europa due to the fact there could be life there. any probe sent into its atmosphere would burn to less then ash before it touched anything solid(if there even is a solid core which we will learn through juno) anyway so i dont think Jupiter has anything to worry about. also probes are hardly trash its not like we are launching empty beer bottles into space.

   Firstly, we don't know if life exists on Jupiter or Europa.  Why choose to contaminate one over the other? Because we know for sure that human life on Jupiter is impractical which makes it okay to pollute it? 
 Secondly, why would we launch empty beer bottles into space?  They can be cleaned and refilled or recycled unlike the 750 lbs of titanium space junk that was no longer useful and needed to be dumped somewhere as rubbish.  Mankind is looking for alternative locations for their survival and old habits die hard.  We are genetically predisposed to using whatever bounty nature provides for us with impunity (or so we think).  We haven't been able to control ourselves here on earth and now there are over 1 million pieces of space junk in orbit around earth.  Man hasn't yet set foot on anything beyond our moon and it's getting very dangerous to venture out because of all the high speed trash.  We should expend more effort on examining our relationship with the earth and less on space exploration.

 image redacted for brevity



Not polluting  Jupiter as the probe will burn up like i said. Im aware of the space junk  that orbits the earth and the only reason i care is because its going to make it harder to send more probes. Also i notice you have the internet and probbably a cell phone... assume you watch tv from time to time? All of this brought to you by shit we launched into space. Personally i wanna know as much about the universe as i can amd we wont do that by not going to space.  And really the amount of stuff we put into space vs how much space there is.... cmon man.

 That's exactly the attitude I was speaking to in my first post.  That attitude of man is so prevalent in everything we do.  Whether it's only a little bit or it's in the interest of science/cost/expediency, it's still garbage and we're still discarding more and more waste.  No, I don't have satellite TV (or cableTV); I have an antenna and capture OTA channels (I don't watch TV) but I understand your point.  In saying that, I would like to add that America did not begin its space program with the altruistic idea of collateral benefits for mankind but certainly, we have seen some benefits.
 
 I don't understand what you mean it will burn up?  Titanium is an element.  It will remain as titanium - something that probably didn't exist on Jupiter before we dumped it there.  The other issue is the plutonium onboard that will remain as plutonium (at least until it decays to Uranium) and will continue to be radioactive whether in elemental form or as a hydride.  Again, neither are naturally occurring elements on Jupiter.  I'm pretty sure Plutonium doesn't naturally exist anywhere and yet, it is the mainstay of space exploration.

BITCOIN HALVING IN 101 blocks - 16h,49m,49s


 Hey!  This bitcoin block confirmation thing is probabilistic.  There is no guarantee on the time it will take for the next 101 blocks.  That 16h,49m,49s figure is not set in stone. It could happen within the hour (okay it probably wont but it could!)  I'm not going to chance it; I'm staying up all night just in case Wink


7269  Economy / Lending / Re: <<Thundercrypt loans>> Fast, cheap and easy to get! on: July 09, 2016, 12:01:31 AM

 Wow.  Is that a special member rate?  What do you charge non-members?
 Anyway, I fixed some minor errors for you but you have a bigger issue than grammar.  Usury laws in the USA are made at the state level and your interest rate is in violation of at least 50 of those states' limits.  Also, you probably need to register as a money-lender. Under section 347 of the criminal code of Canada, interest rates of greater than 60% per annum are criminal rates of interest.  The legal limits vary throughout the EU but your rate is a violation in every member country. 
 You should probably speak with an attorney before attempting to lend someone money to ensure you don't run afoul of these laws.
I am not trying to hone in here, but the information you are giving is 100% incorrect and this may encourage people from using Bitcoin which is not a good thing.  In the United States and Canada, Bitcoin is considered an asset, not a form of currency, so the charge of interest is not applied here.  Check the laws yourself, for I am not an attorney, but when I applied for my loan provider license, they denied it because bitcoin is considered an asset.  Just putting it out there.

 A charge, usually expressed as a percentage of principal, for use of that asset is called interest and is therefore subject to the same usury laws mentioned.  I'm not a lawyer either which is why I suggested OP consult one.  Perhaps you should consult one as well.

Yeah not bad.  VJ night out - funny Wink  You certainly have a lot of confidence on stage!  Nice suit too.
I still had a lot of trouble making out every word though even with my headphones on; your voice is pretty deep and with the echoes and your accent make it hard to discern each word in the recording.  Maybe if you could record the mic output instead it might help?  Although in saying that, I gave my friend's mom (she was originally from Chesterfield) a lift to work one day and I couldn't understand a word she was saying.  At one point I said "Yeah..." and she was like "YeeaAH?!?! Really?" with her eyes wide open.  I had to confess that I couldn't understand her.  Weird since we're both English speakers Wink

7275  Economy / Exchanges / Re: (Email received) An important message to Canadian Coinbase customers  on: July 07, 2016, 06:20:21 PM
I just go this email from Coinbase.com. I don't even use them but I guess I was signed up for emails from when I was a newbie. Have a read if you're Canadian and use Coinbase.com.



Dear valued Coinbase customer,

As of August 1, Coinbase’s Canadian payments provider, Vogogo, will be shutting down its payment processing business. When this occurs, Coinbase will no longer be able to support Canadian EFT transfers, Interac transfers, or the storage of customer CAD on Coinbase.

All customer CAD stored with Coinbase MUST be withdrawn off site or converted to digital currency by July 29th.

If you hold CAD in your Coinbase account, you must liquidate your CAD holdings before July 29th by either:

creating a withdrawal to your linked bank account or
exchanging stored CAD for digital currency.
If you are unable to withdraw or exchange your CAD before July 29th, Coinbase will suspend your account and significant fees will be incurred for CAD withdrawals.
We are disappointed to lose the ability to offer these payment methods for our Canadian customers and hope to provide additional payment methods in the future. We appreciate your support during this change.

If you have any questions regarding this or would like to contact us, please visit our Support Center.

Received this email as well and signed up to this forum for some assistance.

The vets who have been around the block and tried a lot of the wallets, what are Canadian customers switching to for an online option?
I really liked the "hold as CDN fund" option from Coinbase and was hoping for something similar from another company.
Also, the ability to transfer using EFT is very useful.

Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated!

 Kraken gives you access to Canadian, American and Euro markets.

edit: This thread should be moved to the "exchanges" section.

Ya hopefully some good science comes of it and that price tag..
So far i am not hearing much.

And that aurora does not surprise me all the big ones have that (and we seen / recorded)
Catching it from telescope is something i have not heard of though.

I don't think most people get how lethal Jupiter is..
That Aurora you see is a symptom of the magnetic field being lit up.
Jupiter radiates a MASSIVE field of super powerful magnetic charge / radiation & shit..
And if we were to fly anywhere near close to it we would be dead from radiation poisoning.
It is not possible for humans to get anywhere near it.. you would die.

I would wonder if it can be ignited.. science would probably say no, but how do we really know ?
I think they consider it a failed star.. ball of gas mostly.
So why can't it ignite and go on fire ?

Life is actually weird & complicated.
We have materials here that act funny and that will ignite in flames in some circumstances and not others.
For example..
I seen a show "Nature of Things"
Were they said the next great mining thing could be "methane ice" when fossil fuels is done.
And in the show they said there was lots it's just tricky for us to harvest it all right now.
BUT ..that could change in the future.

And.. in the show they pulled some up from the deep arctic ocean..
threw it on the snow pack and lit on on fire on camera.  Shocked
Yes !
They dug up methane ice from the deep ocean shook off the water then..
put a lighter to it and it caught fire  Cheesy
How many of you knew that ?

Or how many of you knew most of Earths water is just below the surface ?
There is more under the sub surface than all the water on the normal surface including oceans.

Science is crazy yo !

 I remember the speculation years ago about whether Galileo with plutonium pellets (for a nuclear battery) being crashed into the surface of Jupiter causing a fusion reaction and creating another sun in our solar system.  I guess NASA scientists didn't agree because they did end up ditching it into Jupiter.  So far so good Wink  Maybe some day in the future we'll wake up to see two sunrises?

It already has effected the world economy Wink

I don't run this on any other platforms so I cant say where it would go for Linux or Apple

Make sure to change the username and password to something else.  The rcpallow line is important because it limits logins using the name and password you select to the local host.

It may be hard to find on those terms. Seems to me like only the hotel you are staying at allows payment after the stay. Any reservation system is going to want up front payment. At least I would guess so? 

 The only time I pay up front is if I'm getting a deal or paying with bitcoin.  Otherwise, I square up when I check out.  The thing is, I've never in recent memory been able to do it anonymously.

He is not active here too . So what do you say should i sell or not ? Just need a simple answer should i sell or not ?

 My answer was pretty direct and to the point.  If you control the account, what's the hurry anyway?
