I think the issue is with the networking, xbox live is closed off, yet the Xbox One console needs to connect once every 24 hours to function.
So you have to get around xbox live. With PS4 it should be easier... theoretically.

It will be worth more the $250, 50 years from now. Yes.

Well its better news than them shipping a couple 60gh miners to Wired and Ars Technica for evaluation...
At least "real customers," i.e., not Luke-Jr, have started to receive them. This is a positive development.

Do you guys think that it is better to sacrifice a few temp degrees to lower the fan speed?
I dont know why but i have the impression that my fan is much more vulnerable than my card.
When the stock fan dies you just remove it and put a 80 or 120mm case fan on it with zipties lol |

Mostly 80s and 90s. I have a couple 6950s that chill out around 102 and dont seem to mind.
They might be worth $30 each 30 months from now so whatever...

I actually think its a great novelty item/gift to give to someone to get them interested in BTC

No we need many smaller exchanges, local exchanges, and p2p exchanges

Man, what a disappointment, Eric Schmidt didn't give a shit about Bitcoin.
He does now. Yes ... remember, this discussion took place in 2011 ... hopefully things changed from that time ... Still it's incredible how a guy who is supposed to be a visionary had so little to say about Bitcoin. First time I heard about BTC... It blew my mind, I only had questions in my head and I had the urge to read more and more about it. It's so revolutionary, so game changing... That I'm starting to doubt Eric is such a "visionary" after reading his super-cold reply to Assange's explanation of Bitcoin. Im imagining someone with such a high IQ and deep understanding of technology doesnt come across technologies hes never heard of often, and Eric was probably a bit taken aback, embarrassed, and stand-offish/dismissive because hey, hed never heard of it, how important could it be? |

Its bad news short term, as people will be scared off e-currencies and many bitcoiners lost a lot of LR$. So the economy shrank.
Long term, its good as people will eventually be forced to flock to a decentralized currency - Bitcoin - which is immune to these problems.

Ripple is the first attempt to bring corporate culture and multi-level marketing to crypto-currency.
Anyone familiar with these tactics can clearly see Ripple for what it is. Its a bold and brash attempt to cash in on Bitcoin.
Personally, I find Ripple and the shills who spam its "features" to be nauseating.

Chris Larsen (CEO) spoke on the Alt-Chain panel and nobody attacked him or asked him tough questions about Ripple being a scam.
Well, thats because I wasnt there and you know what, shame on me for not being that guy. I would have loved to been escorted out by security. Listen, Ripple is a Hustle. Everyone has a hustle. For you, it might be working at McDonalds. For these guys, its separating a sucker and his money. Yes, they are brilliant at what they do. But lets not to forget to call a spade a spade. |

Ripple will fail because $1 in debt is not worth $1, its worth less.
I've heard you repeat that false analogy before. You clearly have no clue about Ripple. The original classic.ripplepay.com has been functioning successfully for years. If you don't like it then don't use. The rest of us will move forward. How much personal lending have you done? There is a big difference between a bank, paypal, and Joes brother who lives down the street. Ive made several personal loans ranging from a few hundred to several thousands. All I can say about the loaning business, is its best left to banks. If you want to make a habit of giving out tons of credit in interest free personal loans, go right ahead. Enjoy. The rest of us will move forward. |

LMAO ripple, oh god that was FUNNY!  But seriously OP, if you accept BTC and instantly convert it to USD, there is no risk to you and only upside. If you use BTC-e you can usually make a few points profit if you set your sell price just a tiny bit higher than the going rate. If thats not to your liking just sell at the market rate and enjoy fast, secure, anonymous transactions, no reversals, and low/no fees! |

If you really believe the US Gov is out of control, the most effective way to reduce its power is tax resistance. Reduce or eliminate your tax burden, and lobby congress for major tax reform (mainly in that companies like GE and Exxon pay a 0% tax rate through loopholes and armies of lawyers and offshore accounting). The majority of the tax burden - and the responsibility for the atrocities our government commits with those funds - falls on the lower and middle class, the same people who are being relentlessly exploited by corporate America and the 1%. Im socially liberal and I do believe in some government programs but the level we have taken it to in America, and the huge levels of waste and inefficiency in these programs is borderline criminal. And forget our military budget. Im all for supporting the troops and people who would lay down to protect what our founding fathers created, but where we have taken it to post WWII is indefensible. We arent "defending America" when we invaded Vietnam and Iraq and Afghanistan. Shit, Bin Laden wasnt even in Afghanistan. Our current wars or "police actions" as defined by congress are simply an attempt to project American power across the globe and ensure American hegemony. It has nothing to do with "freedom," and everything to do with power, resources, and money (the defense contractors who pay congress to keep them in the black). I highly recommend reading MIT professor Noam Chomsky's Hegemony or Survival, available here on Amazon, for an in depth analysis of post WWII and post 9/11 foreign policy in the US. http://www.amazon.com/Hegemony-Survival-Americas-Dominance-American/dp/0805076883 |

I dont think its regulatable. They can regulate exchanges for fiat, but not BTC transactions. Its impossible.
