the barrier to entry is so low.  



I think this bears emphasis.  This is one of the reasons Bitcoin can be such a disruptive and democratizing force.

A couple years ago, if you already had a decent gaming PC, the barrier to entry was, literally, a few clicks.

So much for being a "secret mining location" when you posted photos of easily identifiable buildings surrounding the area.

If somebody pulls off a structure hit on that facility would the difficulty drop enough for the rest of us to notice?

I milled the output plate of my 60 yesterday so it is just a thin frame around the outside to hold the case together.  It cut down the wooshing air noise and where before the input fan would run all the time now it throttles in and out, so it is definitely cooling more efficiently.

The thermal pads in the pics I have seen do look very thick, I may rework those in the future, also thinking about some thicker 92mm Noctua fans for on the heatsinks themselves might really cut the noise...but I hate the downtime to implement, lol.

Your dabbling actually delegitimizes bitcoin and what it is trying to do.  As one of the most common critiques is "What just stops someone from making derpcoin and making my holdings worth less?" You just prove them right and are actually making your bitcoins worth less.  You are participating in irrational behavior. Stop it.

Hey!  derpcoinz goin' TO DA MOON asshole!  All you BTC fanboyz gon be cryin little pussy tears after da DERPCOIN REVOLUTION yo

I thought this thread was just a repository of data for users experiencing problems.  In the interest of making the thread of use I will report that I milled the output plate of my full single yesterday so It has a full fan shaped hole.  It is certainly running cooler.  The input fan used to run all the time and now it throttles in and out.

I was actually going to post a thread on this very topic..."what will you do with your new found riches"...investing in a wildlife sanctuary for us.

Quite, an ancient forest reserve will certainly be in the offing.

A million traded in a day, not every day.  Or the liquidity for the market to absorb such an amount.  5% of the current holdings would saturate the entire order book of every brokerage, not that any holder that huge would want to do that, but thats not liquidity atleast not towards our market cap goals.  I feel very lucky to have contributed and experienced this, thus far, and plan on trying to make others as happy as I have been.  I started a few cold wallets at the beginning of this year for my kids' college funds to that end as well as some other plans to diversify to some non-believers in the future just to try and get more of the word of mouth around.  I'm not the type that would be rich very long in an ultra rich position. I would want others to experience the joys of a debt free life, or atleast a shot at a clean slate, as well.

sadly, this is why good people always end up losing; they are constrained by their conscience, while the most mercenary fucktards among us inevitably rise to the top.

you know, I think this 800ish area (and this being bitcoin, by "ish" I mean 700-900) is starting to look, dare I say, "mature"

if I was new money flowing in tomorrow, after transfers on last weeks exposure, I might look at this chart and say "yep, don' wanna miss this train"

just sayin'

Tell you a little story nan

A few years ago I was in Seattle while the Frida collection was on display at the SAM.  The venue had purchased advertising throughout the market, including wall to wall wraps on some city buses.  I'm waiting at a crosswalk and this bus comes by with that exact self portrait and some toucans on it.  The text, as tall as the bus, literally as big as they could fit, was like

Frida Kahlo

then in letters maybe 20cm high "Diego Rivera and Mexican Impressionism"

It was so fucking cool, I started tearing up and almost lost my balance, still gives me shivers today.



And yet, I don't think there is anything wrong with facials.  It is all about the context.  Sometimes it is not about making the receiver feel dirty, but about making the spewer feel clean.  Lots of boys have very traumatic early sexual experiences with young women suddenly horrified at the physical manifestation of their ecstasy.  Not very surprising, really, if it becomes a complex later in life.  People just want to be accepted.

Quote
In her book, Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion, Izabella St James, who was one of Hugh Hefner's former "official girlfriends", described sex with Hef. Hef, in his late 70s, would have sex twice a week, sometimes with four or more of his girlfriends at once, St James among them. He had novelty, variety, multiplicity and women willing to do what he pleased. At the end of the happy orgy, wrote St James, came "the grand finale: he masturbated while watching porn".

Here, the man who could actually live out the ultimate porn fantasy, with real porn stars, instead turned from their real flesh and touch, to the image on the screen. Now, I ask you, "what is wrong with this picture?".

absolutely nothing

arousal is in the mind, if 70 something Hugh's trigger was tripped by the idea of women having sex in front of an audience it is not our place to judge...and your doing so smacks dangerously of Abrahamic puritanism in a new guise.

Sex is natural, pleasurable, and good.  "Sex addiction" is laughable on the face of it.  Know what? I also have an oxygen addiction...cant get enough of the stuff, have to have it every day...food too.

I would never trust a live cd that I didn't burn myself or bought directly from the ubuntu store:

http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=976



i thought about that also but then i thought, if he boots from the disk and makes is keypairs and then reboots his computer back to its normal partition without ever connecting to the internet, it should be fine for that purpose.

unless the key pair was already produced by the creator of the disk image and presented to him as fresh

Men are better at math, computers, economy etc than women. That is simple reality. Nothing can change that.


the actual fuck?  While this doesn't really even warrant a response I'm just going to drop this here anyway.

J-Dubbs,

I did not say "don't mine".  I pointed out that for some time, and I believe now, one would do better to farm fiat directly into BTC.  As far as expecting a $1300 machine to mine 100BTC, if BFL had delivered in any reasonable semblance of their repeated promises this may well have been possible.  At the time they seemed to be the most highly capitalized option.  Who was to know how deeply over their heads they really were?

I would add two points to your reasons to mine;

To secure and decentralize the network.  The more hash in disparate private hands the more resilient we are.

To acquire BTC with minimal paper trail.  Hardware manufacturers, unlike exchanges, are to date under the radar of the regulator and the tax man.  If one had...ahem...unreportable fiat, the incentive to mine, even at a lower return than might be available on the exchanges, would be greater.
