There's nothing wrong with eating meat! This is the culture we were born into! I was born into eating meat, everyone I know eats meat, I've eaten meat for a majority of my life! Plus you see all these strong guys posting bacon videos on youtube, that's the real MANLY THING TO DO!! Why should I go against what culture teaches me? I was taught to be religious to worship the Lord and I know it is not right to ever think about why I believe in certain things or why I do things a certain why. It is the way I was taught, it is what everyone else does, so it is therefore the right thing to do! Why should I try anything new?!

Seriously animals have no rights in this world! They are just like slaves to us, for us to kill and torture as much as we want! Who cares if they are suffering and crying and making squealing noises while bleeding all over the place? That is sooo funny!!

Just kidding. I actually used to eat meat for a majority of my life. Then one day I was like, hmm, maybe I should try this new vegan thing... What happened? Wow. What happened. Let's see, wow. Everything great happened. Nothing bad at all happened, every single thing improved in my entire life.

I feel so energized when I wake up in the morning no grogginess at all, I actually run a few miles every morning when I wake up now and I don't walk a single time. Throughout the day I don't feel tired at all. Even though I used to have afternoon slumps, I'm just like, come on let's do something fun.

I also found out that the food tasted much better than before. I thought that fried chicken, Sushi or General Tso chicken was unavailable to people that don't eat meat like Vegans, but I found out every meat you can eat, there is a vegetable substitute that tastes exactly like it:







Pictured above: No meat. Tastes better than meat. Cheaper to buy and create than meat. Much healthier and makes me feel so much better than when I used to eat meat. If you don't believe me look up some Vegan or Vegetarian restaurants in your area and try out one of those places. Fantastic!

Overall one of the best decisions I have ever made in my entire life. Period.

Also, yes, I have been been eating meat for a majority of my life in case you think I was raised to not eat meat or something. I also found out some of the most influential people in the world one day chose to stop eating meat for good: Albert Einstein, Mike Tyson, Steve Jobs, Paul McCartney, Ellen Degeneres, Gandhi, Thomas Edison, Leonardo Da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, etc.

Anyway, easily one of the most life changing decisions in my entire life. It is an awesome life to live by the way. No lack of energy, improvement of mood, nutrition, everything, more money in my pockets. Tell me why it is wrong to eat meat now?

"I ate, like, the tiniest piece of meat, and I woke up violently sick. It was vicious pain. I was throwing up. And I realized meat's become a poison for me now." - Mike Tyson

This is a study for the first coin you acquired, so if you heard about Bitcoin first but got 1 Dogecoin as your very first coin, then Dogecoin is your first Crypto Coin.

I want to see how many people's first coin was Dogecoin as opposed to other coins.

I've heard that a huge amount of people first came here due to Dogecoin so this poll is to prove just how many people have been influenced by it.

If your first coin is not on this list, send me a PM and do not vote yet. I will ad it to the list, PM you back, then you can vote for that coin.

Thanks.

Hypothetically speaking, is there any protection at all from this?

Let's say you have a USB from years back that you used to back up Bitcoin and other Alt currencies, it may or may not have a virus, let's say you think it does and you are paranoid.

You want to put it into a brand new computer so you can load up the wallet data, however you have no idea if there's a virus on the USB drive or not, and there is a lot of sensitive data on your computer you don't want stolen.

If you make a Windows Guest account with no administrative privileges or access to other user files and then plug in the USB drive while signed into Guest, will that provide any protection whatsoever?

Say I have a bitcoin wallet and it has two addresses:

Address A
Address B

I send Address A .01 bitcoins

Then I back up the entire wallet and put that into a USB stick.

I then make a new address Address C

I send Address A 1 bitcoin
I send Address B .5 bitcoins
I send Address C .1 bitcoins

After five years when I load up the USB drive again, how many Bitcoins will that wallet have?

[ridiculous]

The only way you would be able to sympathize with me and be able to say 'I know that feel bro' is if you actually sold a few items on eBay. Most people are buyers, and rarely anyone sells. Yes, buying on eBay is probably a godsend because it's so cheap and so easy to do so. However, it's a different story for sellers, for sellers, eBay is a frustrating nightmare.



eBay and PayPal are so sad. They are scammers. I hate them both to death. I would not use their services if there was an alternative choice, but there isn't. They are the main auctioning company website, therefore they can charge anything they want and we have no other option other than to comply.

So I'm not sure if you have sold items on eBay or not, but I have sold some miscellaneous items over the years, and selling on eBay and PayPal has always sucked. I sold some graphics cards and other computer parts recently and all the fees associated with them was a b1tch.... Let's just say if you sell $60 worth of something heavy like a PSU or a graphics card, expect to spend at least $10 on shipment cost, don't forget the eBay 'invisible' listing fees that they add after the item sells, the other 12% eBay fees, and PayPal 2.9% + $.30 fees, and just like that you're probably down $25 or more. So from a $60 heavy item like PSU or graphics card you'll probably get $35 at the most.

What's worse is I've had three item returns already, two of them had no issues but just wanted to return it, and I had to give them back full refunds!!! Sure they get their money back, but I don't get any of the fees I've paid back, that's $30+ in shipment costs alone that vanished into thin air. At the same time, both eBay and PayPal keep the fees you paid, so if it's a $60 item that sold, they keep around $10 from the eBay and Paypal fees!! That's $60 I've lost for the 3 item returns I gave a full refund back to, for NO REASON!!!

Here's something I found out recently, there is a way to get back the eBay and PayPal fees from a refund, but NO you do not get the shipment costs back. You have to literally file a request to get those fee payments back after you do a refund, if you don't they keep all the money!!! Most people don't know about that and honestly I just figured that out too late!!!! So eBay just magically kept the $30 from me for no reason despite paying a full refund to the customers, don't forget the lost shipment cost either!!! BS!!!

Okay, I just went to the resolution center the way they wanted me to so I could receive my eBay and Paypal payments back. What I did was go to the resolution center and hit 'Buyer wants to return item' This makes sense right? I should be able to wait and be able to confirm that I received the item before giving them a refund, right? That's how this works right? WRONG!!! Now they give the power to the buyer. It's BS, it said NOTHING in the description that it works out this way. I sent the buyer the 'return item resolution request' BUT If the buyer hits 'accept' on the resolution request, he automatically gets the full refund, and no he hasn't sent the item back yet. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Terrible company. I really hate how they earn MONEY from MY products. They didn't spend time making the listing, they didn't buy the item themselves or spend the time packing and shipping it out, yet they charge these completely ridiculous fees.

I don't know how other sellers are able to cope with this, but it's such a terrible company, I damn them to death, fuck eBay, fuck PayPal, fuck you fucking pieces of shit!

I have a few questions about the wallet encryption backup copy

Question 1)

Say I have a backup copy on a thumb drive somewhere, and when I backed it up it had 0.01 bitcoins

Now I don't touch the drive for a month, and some guy pays me 0.001 bitcoins to the address/wallet data that was backed up

Once I open up that backup.dat file again, will I see 0.011 bitcoins or 0.01 bitcoins available in the balance?

Keep in mind when I exported the backup it only had .01 bitcoins.

Question 2)

How to load up a backup.dat file?

Question 3)

Is it better to encrypt a wallet or to leave it unencrypted?

When I return to the forum page, my post is there. It is a way now, approximately, of being at home. This forum has become one of the most consistent places in my life, like a familiar cafe that exists somehow outside of geography and beyond time zones. No explanation, no mix of words or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and place in the world.

 

Don't you think it is a little too much to have .0001 BTC per transaction?

Who knows if the people receiving those transaction fees are still even around these days? So those transaction fees essentially go away into oblivion, never to be seen again.....

What do you think?

I'm a little bit confused on how to add more graphics cards to the motherboard and this is what I currently have:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASRock-970-Extreme3-R2-0-AM3-AMD-970-SATA-6Gb-s-USB-3-0-ATX-AMD-Motherboard-/380760363873?pt=Motherboards&hash=item58a7161361

So as you can see there are only 2 slots for PCI-e and that is enough for only two 7950's... Why then are there some people with four of them on their Asrock 970 extreme3 mobo?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=89945.0

I searched on Google and the forums but wasn't able to come up with a straightforward answer, I know it has something to do with riser cables but the slots are 2x PCI-e, 2x PCI, and 2x PCI-x1. Is it in theory possible to have a total of 6 graphics cards on this one mobo using something like the following:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/16X-To-16X-PCI-E-Extender-Powered-Riser-Cable-Adapter-Cord-PCI-E-Express-/161083033002?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25814c05aa

BITCOIN TO THE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!

Hi,

When I plug 1x asic block erupters into the RPI itself, it's able to mine just fine, but if I use an aitech 10 port hub, it's not able to detect that there are at least 1x block erupters on the hub. When I do ls /dev, it's not detecting any new USB devices so I can't manually add them by using BFG miner.

What to do?

Hi I'm looking to buy some asic block erupters and furies, if you have any PM and we can negotiate a price

Would you put all your savings money into BTC rather than at the bank?

Did anyone else notice the huge price boom of gh/s when BTC popularity rose up last week? Mining gear used to be very affordable but now it's become very expensive to get anything.

Just two weeks ago there were lots of deals on here that were like $10 per Asic USB Miner for example and $100 Jalapenos, heck I even saw a 49 port hub + 49 USB Asic Miners going for $800!

However, one week later and guess what those things go for now?

• Asic Block Erupters: $55 a piece (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASICMiner-Block-Eruptor-335MH-s-Bitcoin-USB-ASIC-Miner-erupter-IN-HAND-/121219034831)
  
• Jalapeno: $700 each (http://www.ebay.com/itm/BTC-Bitcoin-Miner-Butterfly-Labs-BFL-Jalapeno-ASIC-7-5-GH-s-SEE-PICS-IN-HAND-/151176506993)
• 49 Port Hub + 49 Asic Miners: $2k+ (No current active listings)

Prices are going crazy for these mining hardware right now! IMO if you have some, you should sell soon before the next gen miners arrive, by that point your current rigs and hashing power will become outdated and the amount people will pay for your outdated hardware will significantly go down.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree that once the next gen arrives the value of these current gen items will significantly decrease? Why do you think the demand is so high?

Man BitCoin prices are sooooooooo high at $800 a piece! I hope they crash at one point!

PM me offers either in BTC or PayPal USD

Also if you have extra accessories like fan, hub, etc, I'm interested in those as well

Feel free to add more.

If you buy one of these machines you will have a huge advantage over everyone else in this generation, at the same time though you won't be the only one buying them. Expect a huge amount of competition when you get these machines, and if you don't get one, you'll be out of the competition.

What do you think? Are you going to invest in these new generation miners or will you stay with your current models?

Thread title

Buying BTC at the LOW MtGox rate
Buying LTC at 'High/Low*2' rate on LiteCoin Charts
Also buying any other currencies at the normal rate

Will initially buy $3 worth at a time until I can trust you and open up more

How much are you mining per hour, per day? Any cryptocurrency

If you are in a pool, how much are you mining per hour, per day? Any cryptocurrency

I'm especially interested in BitCoin, if you mine bitcoin, in a group or solo, you think it would still be worth it for someone to start today? How much are you earning per hour, per day?

For me I'm mining something called IFC which is InfiniteCoin, started it about 6 hours ago and I am mining in a pool, so I don't know how much I earned yet. I'll update once I do. I think I have mined at least 1 million InfiniteCoins so far, because it's probably the easiest difficulty cryptocurrency to mine, but like I said not 100% sure on how much I earned so far.
