In Spain it is also possible to acquire residency (for the owner and direct parents) buying real state for more than 500.000€ (no mortage) and coming at least once every six months.

As a Brit who spends vast amounts of time lurking in Europe I might have to end up bloody doing this unless there are some key assassinations.

You quite sure you can fulfill the second part of the requirements?

BNP Paribas Investment Partners temporaly [sic] suspends the calculation of the Net Asset Value of the following funds : Parvest Dynamic ABS, BNP Paribas ABS EURIBOR and BNP Paribas ABS EONIA

The complete evaporation of liquidity in certain market segments of the US securitization market has made it impossible to value certain assets fairly, regardless of their quality or credit rating.

In English what that means is "we couldn't sell this stuff if we tried because no-one knows what it's worth, if anything".

So as Bitcoiners, do we have a right to be pissed if there are no immediate LN related launches?

I mean, the Core devs and the rest of the community have acted like these LN technologies and apps have been coded, tested, and sitting around ready to go for the better part of a year or two now. And preaching that the miners have been blocking these 'ready-to-go LN apps' for all this time.

If I don't see something around LN immediately launched after SegWit lock-in, I'm gonna get seriously irritated.  Angry

Riding a big car, but you seem to be a weak boy - get home boy this world is rude. The Chinese do business of all kinds and not the weak way.

Evidence? no lol this is a war not a science convention.
It's logical to deduce that statist govts attack bitcoin.
Bitcoin cash is an attack on bitcoin.
The Chinese govt is one of the least inept.
China was uniquely positioned to churn out asic miners more efficiently than other states.

@AgentofCoin; @squatter good points well reasoned thank you.

Agreed. And if miners are forced to attack we can change algo.

What is the reverse of this problem?

How does difficulty adjust downwards in abc bitcoin if its hashrate is too high and over how long a period?
I suppose they can fork in an adjustment pattern that way to suit their needs?

Abstract

Over the past twenty years, DNA analysis has revolutionized forensic science, and has become a dominant tool in law enforcement. Today, DNA evidence is key to the conviction or exoneration of suspects of various types of crime, from theft to rape and murder. However, the disturbing possibility that DNA evidence can be faked has been overlooked. It turns out that standard molecular biology techniques such as PCR, molecular cloning, and recently developed whole genome amplification (WGA), enable anyone with basic equipment and know-how to produce practically unlimited amounts of in vitro synthesized (artificial) DNA with any desired genetic profile. This artificial DNA can then be applied to surfaces of objects or incorporated into genuine human tissues and planted in crime scenes. Here we show that the current forensic procedure fails to distinguish between such samples of blood, saliva, and touched surfaces with artificial DNA, and corresponding samples with in vivo generated (natural) DNA. Furthermore, genotyping of both artificial and natural samples with Profiler Plus® yielded full profiles with no anomalies. In order to effectively deal with this problem, we developed an authentication assay, which distinguishes between natural and artificial DNA based on methylation analysis of a set of genomic loci: in natural DNA, some loci are methylated and others are unmethylated, while in artificial DNA all loci are unmethylated. The assay was tested on natural and artificial samples of blood, saliva, and touched surfaces, with complete success. Adopting an authentication assay for casework samples as part of the forensic procedure is necessary for maintaining the high credibility of DNA evidence in the judiciary system.

http://www.fsigenetics.com/article/S1872-4973(09)00099-4/abstract

afaik this assay has not been adopted by law enforcement anywhere, and don't get me started on fingerprints. Juries are still too easily bamboozled, and criminals almost always leave compunding forensic trails.
the 'assay' may also be more of a kite sent out by some company to feel for interest. (Who paid for the above 'research'?)

another datapoint to distinguish an individual might be gait - we all have a different walk, or so 'they' say
another is your GPG fingerprint

finally, Neal Stephenson's 'The Diamond Age' is a great antidote to socialist leanings.
