I thought Solidcoin 2.0 was ready for the Biitcoin collapse according to Coinhunter. He spent a lot of time and effort to promote that theme. I wonder if RS/CH is going to merge in the 13 million trusted node coins into SC3.0 like he did with SC1 into SC2.
He should just start fresh and leave that mess behind... Solidcoin is never going to go anywhere with a 13million coin premine hovering over it's head at all times. It's scammy as hell, and shouldn't "necessary" to protect the network.. Other than that at-least Coinhunter is defining himself and the currency, and leaving the silly "Bitcoin Collapse" themes behind. Coinhunter: Drop the premine, and start dispensing a new supply of coins at a very limited/predictable rate. And figure out a way to give the power back to the PEOPLE, if not they will have no incentive to use your brand of "fake money". No matter how "secure", fast, or convenient it may be..

We are a close community. We like to watch out for all our members and make sure everyone here is safe and has a pleasant time. It can be tough at first since we do like to joke around here, just make sure you do lots of reading, since there is alot of info to take in and it's not all just technical.

Vual STFU you stupid noob.

... but there IS a correlation..
Population and temperature is correlated as well, so lets kill some people for a better climate! Unfortunately, this is completely true. Our "human" impact on this earth can be reduced to almost 0 if we all did what we were supposed to do.. Unfortunately we have people carrying their own blind political agendas (ironically claiming we're the blind ones), who stifle progress every step of the way with their quasi-scientific theories, and poorly thought out methodologies...

IF your newb, I would only trade with a few coins. Keep all the other coins IN YOUR STASH...
Don't give in to the crazy swings..
Or as a noob you will loose.

I AM NOT saying that sudden changes due to man are not happening. I am saying that blindly accepting what "experts" tell you is bad, accepting what the media says is even worse.
Why do you put experts between quotation marks? And why is it somehow smart to blindly disbelieve what is the overwhelming consensus among the worlds best scientists and instead do your own cherry picking "research"? Do you consider yourself such a wold authority on climate science that you know better than all the worlds scientists combined, that you think you can do a better syntheses of all the available science than the IPCC ? I find that notion as ridiculous as thinking you would be able to build a better space shuttle than NASA in your garage. They are only "experts" after all, what do they know. +1

This is a Republican forum to say the least.

So we can screw them up too? Why are we so interested in interstellar colonization? Cant be so we can rape the resources there too?
OPEC wants to start deep space exploration :p.

Because we haven't found any planets nearby that can harbor our pathetic species...
Global warming deniers always try to deny the truth by using ambiguous words.
I tried to lead the discussion towards the actual uncertainties involved in understanding global warming, and you keep trying to turn the discussion towards some vague catastrophic endgame It's not an endgame for the planet. Definitely an endgame for modern day humans... The bigger our population grows and the more third world countries begin to develop, the faster the world will warm. It's all relative, and the only way we can survive on this planet is to literally co-exist...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gasAh I just calculated it from here. About 300 million tons of methane per year. Still, do we agree CO2 is the main issue and that it's effect is supposed to be indirectly increasing water vapor content? Hell there are tons of things that are contributing to warming... General population growth is one of them... Our goal as humans shouldn't be "how can be find out what EXACTLY is the source of this warming", and actually start agreeing on solutions to reduce our footprint in this planet in ANY WAY WE CAN... Why? Because we haven't found any planets nearby that can harbor our pathetic species...

We have an effect on this planet, and ignoring it for any longer is simply not an option... The solution that is implied on this forum and is regurgitated day after day is "let the free market handle it". The free market didn't handle , Slavery Child Labor Voter Discrimination Gender Discrimination Pollution Standards and a list of millions of things that were NOT HANDLED BY THE FREE MARKET. You know why? Because it wasn't beneficial for the free market to do these things at the time. Do you now see why the analysis of "letting the free market" handle green energy innovation is a ludicrous one? I know this comes as a SHOCK to anyone in this forum (since it's closer here to a conspiracy community than an investment community) but the government is run BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE. It's just that it's up to the people to take ownership, vote for people who represent the same common interest, and hold them accountable when the next election comes around...

Posts up there ^^^
1. The cycles you are referencing to in that chart happened over hundreds of thousands of years. We are seeing extreme climate change over the course of just 1 century...
2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas3. It will be a very long time before fossil fuels run out.

Flipro: There is simply way to much money and influence in big oil for there to be any considerable progress in the alternative fuels arena. These people have been documented to block patents, buyout alternative fuel innovations from small-time inventors, and there have even been reports of certain green energy inventors "disappearing" after telling close ones that they had finished a radically new invention. Flipro: You are analyzing this from a conspiracy theorist standpoint. I am stating facts, big oil does NOT want to go green. They have hundreds of billions of dollars in reserves. They could have invented the perfect hydrogen/water powered car by now. Think about what you are saying, and understand it does not make any sense. The "free market" which you cite in this scenario is OPEC (the people who own the oil and infrastructure) on one end, and on the other end we have the average consumer (who for the most part) doesn't really have a choice in the matter, and would rather not walk...

I honestly don't care whether or not CO2 is the cause (in fact, I think others are more important), but ones who deny that the Earth is warming are denying that P != not P.
There is plenty of evidence the earth has warmed the last 100 years, I don't think anyone contests that. What is the cause, what does it mean for humanity, and could we do anything about it if we wanted to? Those are the issues. Whether it is CO2 or not partially answers the last question. The future is simple. A clean renewable energy future that does not rely on archaic & dirty fuels to propel us forward. Anyone trying to sell you anything less than that has a hidden agenda... Right, this will happen one way or the other. The question is whether the timing should be decided by regulatory bodies or markets. Markets will never decide to go with green energy. There is simply way to much money and influence in big oil for there to be any considerable progress in the alternative fuels arena. These people have been documented to block patents, buyout alternative fuel innovations from small-time inventors, and there have even been reports of certain green energy inventors "disappearing" after telling close ones that they had finished a radically new invention. And unfortunately it is up to them to build the infrastructure/research to support alternative fuels. What you are seeing now by the US government is simply the manifestation of the desire to go green by the American people. We have seen more progress in the last 3 years than during the entire Bush presidency in that arena, and it's not NEARLY enough IMHO.. We need to be "pushed" over the edge as humans, so that we can hopefully transcend to a cleaner, and more efficient society.
