A complicated issue that needs time to sort itself out
Hopefully the investigation sheds some light onto this incident and is not tinged by political strife between two states.
(Although a few incidents seem to come to mind of similar airplane crashes in history can't remember which ones but think I saw a few Mayday episodes like this)

The main problem with that is all the regulatory costs that go into making that nuclear reactor
It can cost hundreds of millions to set up and clear and then citizens may say we don't want a reactor here etc and cancel the project making the risk a gamble that many don't want to take. (Pretty much cost overrun risk no income and a schedule to complete it by getting delayed)

Even if it does get approved the ROI takes many years from when it was first made to break even and then adding regulatory costs even more than initially planned so its a complicated issue.
That said once built it can run for a long time and it does make a good return.

In 2013, investment advisers Morningstar, Inc. concluded that, in developed countries, “reactors are not a viable source of new power”. Even in developed nations where they make economic sense, they are not feasible because nuclear’s “enormous costs, political and popular opposition, and regulatory uncertainty”.

Actually spent some time thinking about this case read another thread
And my new concern is that this does not set off a precedent to confiscate assets from people without a warrant.

We have greater concerns if the internet is broke
That said pretty sure full nodes would retain a copy so there would still be backups all over the world for when the internet comes back on
(Unless the government did MAD or something)
Then ... were back in the stone age.
(Technically 1940 technologies pre transitor that use vacumn tubes)

True enough it takes a good leader to push a company in a new direction, its easy to be a follower behind someone else though.
Overstock is still a good service and has my respect the problem they face is the international shipping costs they have if they could address that their market could grow significantly.

Well actually that is a good point as well the big ones will likely just keep dumping in the sense that they will convert directly to fiat the positive spinoff though is that if some new merchants need to be convinced someone can throw a few big names now that accept Bitcoin as examples that its a far more interesting system.

The shadow of Mtgox collapsing is still a specter and needs to be removed one way or another so that positive spin is helpful in the end.

Himegoto caught me off guard and made me want to listen to this

Ah now I feel like the Bitcoin Borg 

Anyway to mass acceleration may bitcoins growth get faster each day and good job to the people promoting it to snatch a few big players already

Well as an idea it does make sense that some big players constantly are able to sell enough coins on the market to suppress the upside movements
But at the same time they are holding a percentage of those coins in light of the positive volatility opportunity it presents.
So it could be an interesting 8 months

He-he Yah that's why I highlighted that in the excerpt 

Well it's about time in my opinion Latin America made a bank as well to address the way the IMF operates and now the BRICS are making one as well to counteract the IMF

Pretty much showing that neoliberal economics and bailouts are being directly confronted on the international stage, makes it interesting to see strong actors coming out with alternatives to it.

Sounds like a fun guessing game so why not
-MCGREGOR- round 4

True enough but it's not as dangerous as it could be since it does not provide or have a positive incentive to do so.
One double spend and the price drops miners ditch you etc only a government trying to shutdown the network would attempt it, although that would be scary for an altcoin, although it would force a developer fork.

Since this attack doesn't permit all that much power over the network, it is expected that no one will attempt it. A profit-seeking person will always gain more by just following the rules, and even someone trying to destroy the system will probably find other attacks more attractive. However, if this attack is successfully executed, it will be difficult or impossible to "untangle" the mess created -- any changes the attacker makes might become permanent.

The real concern for me is the centralization of Bitcoin nodes as having decentralized nodes is important for the network in terms of security and privacy.

If I had a dollar for each time Scratch that If I had a mbtc for every time I heard this saying  

Well at least this one suggests something
Under the current protocol, miners have to solve one problem to get hold of fresh bitcoins, but in the professors’ "Two-Phase Proof-of-Work" mechanism, there would be an additional cryptopuzzle.

>??>>
Crucially, this second puzzle would require the miner to prove they have access to the private key of the mining pool’s Bitcoin address.

This means the pool would either have to enforce levels of trust amongst participants, as any of them could access all the coins collected by the group with that private key, or carry out the work on its own infrastructure, which would be hugely expensive.

There are some technical issues to be hammered out too. For instance, small miners might be punished by the proposed system as they won’t be able to afford to do the mining if they don’t want to share their private key.

Got confused with their proposal but don't mess with the private key its trustless for a reason here I would need to trust the group to keep my private key secured and not run with the coins.

Also received this PM will be neutral on this and I guess see how it turns out
Hmm but think the Latium paid out or is an ongoing scam >??> or cheating the system mmm.

I don't get the altcoins lol tried to figure it out just a mess.

Never heard of Navcoin but one needs to start somewhere
Anyways welcome to the forum and activity rises by 14 every 2 weeks you can read more on that in this thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=237597.0

If you have some skills you can try to earn some money in services or your first bitcoin pieces from a faucet before joining a sig campaign.
If you feel like trying to grow it feel free to try speculation

Have fun

Personal signatures are fine just needs to be on the first line shorena
Can put it to the side or the bottom of the message etc.

Oh that's a convenient chart when I thought Overstock was big .... (realizes its only been a few weeks)
Hot damn I'm sensing some super correction incoming lol.

Yep socialism for the corporations who pay it back in their political campaign war chest and jobs after the leave government (Good old cronyism)
And capitalism for the poor.
Under the argument of contagion of course because after all they are too big to fail.

I found the thing I was looking for so to add a guilty bonus to that 7 billion
The government said in 2010 that its cool we will leave now and let you go and make the same mistakes again since we don't want to be seen holding bank shares in the financial system in exchange let us print more money guys  

Government sells remaining shares in Citigroup; investment to net $12 billion total profit for taxpayers

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/12/07/AR2010120700091.html
When it disposes of its remaining Citigroup shares, the Treasury said, the average selling price for its shares will be $4.14 apiece, up from $3.25 when the government obtained its stake. Citigroup's stock closed at $4.45 on Monday.

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052748704156304576003884177348202
The Treasury's sale of 2.4 billion Citigroup shares was priced at a 10-cent discount to Monday's closing price of $4.45 a share. With the government's average cost at $3.25 a share, Treasury officials decided to accelerate the sale timetable after recent gains in the stock price meant the cost had already been recouped in sale proceeds, repayments and dividends, one of the people familiar with the matter said.

"With all the risk already off the table," the person said, "there was no reason not to go ahead with this." Counting Monday's sale, Treasury's sales proceeds averaged $4.14 per share.

(Note there was a 1:10 Stock Split in 2011)
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=C&a=00&b=3&c=1977&d=06&e=19&f=2014&g=m

So its more like 41.40 per share

So 19 billion for a 306 billion dollar debt

Would support it myself
There is enough traffic in the auctions thread for a domain sub forum based on what I have read in this thread.
Not an area I visit often myself but I voted yes as well.
