I'm sure they mean that like gold there is no asset backing, insurance, etc. But I agree with you that they have some backing by bitcoin users. We back bitcoin!  |

40 million! I'll switch teams. |

Why? Frequent flier miles. There is an example of a centralized system. So, how many people do you know who are getting rich with frequent flier miles.

I think these are great! If you have a poker night you and your friends could play with these chips, then cash out at the end of the night via smartphone.

What about backing them with bitcoin? Just like a real Casascius coin. Maybe 1 Satoshi?

Thanks Q.
I have tritium sights on my CC gun and love um. It seems like if you would ever need your gun that it is more likely to be at night.
If tritium is illegal and I can't do a glowing mod I may use silver paint. It works well in low light on my AK. When your sight picture is dark you see the front post lit up.

Hi drlatino, Is it Dr. Latino? In that case Hola amigo.  Anyway, how much are those 5.56 per round / box? |

I keep reading contradicting reports as to the legal sale of tritium. I want a tiny amount to make glow in the dark sights for my AR-15. I don't want to break the law or anything. Does any one have a tritium keychain or something?

Just finished this build, I may be looking for 5.56 soon.  |

I don't understand? We should give her bitcoins because she is a girl?
Well, congrats. But...

HAHAHHAHHAHAHAHHAH
That is NOT freedom. I'll tell you from experience money is NOT freedom in the slightest. It controls you, not the other way around.
Who told him this lie? And why did he believe it?
Once you have money it looses it's sparkle, don't it. |

The BitThief exploit allows someone to 'leech' from the BitTorrent network without actually contributing resources yourself.
Is it possible that they are using a similar exploit to leach block discoveries from the bitcoin network without actually doing any mining on their own?
That could explain how they are getting so much hashpower (i.e. they don't really have it).
On the question of is it possible, yes it is theoretically possible to see a block submitted to the network and then publish that block quickly from a highly connected node and it will look like it came from you. So maybe that's what they are doing here. To be clear, though, the coins still go to the address in the generation transaction, so they can't steal your coins. It just makes it look like the block came from a different IP. I still don't think that applies here. What if I did this as a member of a mining pool? Could I then claim that I contributed to the network and deserve a share of the reward? Any one checking the facts would see that the block originated from my IP, right? |

That's what I was wondering. The guy's expertise is in selfishness and cheating in P2P networks, and he is into bitcoins. That is a bad combination. lol |

All universities. Hmmm. Even the BCnet addres is registered to "Simon Fraser University". Could these entities be working together to attain high hash rates? |

I know this is legitimate research, but they are also hurting me financially by staging such an attack. So can I defend myself? Can the LOIC weapon be turned on their machines?

Whenever I realized I had been a DBag, I grew from that recognition.

It's not that I don't want to believe. But look at the "evidence" sighted. An observation of something weird in the sky in the 1500's becomes a UFO battle in the sky. A Mayan Steele depicting a ruler on a throne is re-imagined as a man operating a spaceship. Did a Mayan scholar come up with this? Or a NASA spaceship expert? No. It takes a "UFO researcher" to find a alien spaceship; just as it takes a bigfoot-oligist to see big foot everywhere, and why a believer in ghosts can find a haunted place every weekend while real scientists have never seen one instance of such a thing.
Find me a piece of a spaceship made from unknown material (strong evidence). Find me a repeating patterned signal from space (weaker evidence) or a microbe based on something other than DNA or transcript RNA (close to proof).
I wana believe. But I am not one to delude myself.
They've already found extra-terrestrial microbes in a meteorite. The microbes have a completely different biological composition than anything we've ever seen before, they eat arsenic which was previously thought to be toxic to ALL living things... Hugh? I'm a biologist and this is news to me. You may be thinking of a bacteria found in California. It is a DNA based bacteria, clearly related to all other life found on Earth. there has NEVER been a discovery of an extra-Terrestrial life form. Such an observation would be the greatest discovery in the entire history of science! Also, you've clearly never heard of the "Wow!" signal: http://news.discovery.com/space/alien-signal-response-120627.htmlThis signal was enough to impress REAL scientists with REAL degrees. Do you really think so many scientists would "waste" their time looking for extra-terrestrial life if there wasn't good reason to believe it existed...? If you read my earlier posts in this thread you will see that I am aware of the wow signal and commented on it. It is very intriguing, but we don't know enough about such signals to discern anything definitive. |
