https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2927/examining-the-viability-of-planting-trees-to-help-mitigate-climate-change/Key questions scientists will need to address are how global reforestation might affect Earth’s surface albedo (reflectivity) and evapotranspiration. In the near term and locally, says Saatchi, forest restoration may actually have a warming effect. As the trees mature, the new forest canopy cover would presumably make Earth’s surface albedo darker, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere during periods of snow cover, causing it to absorb more heat. Increasing forest cover, particularly in the tropics, will increase evapotranspiration, causing a cooling effect. With Earth already warming significantly due to greenhouse gas emissions, will forest reforestation on a global scale have a net warming or cooling effect on our planet, and will the benefits of reforested areas absorbing more carbon outweigh their increased heat absorption?

I got an email from the exchange I use stating the Istanbul hard fork is to occur at block 9069000 at approximately 15:44:36 PST on December 7. It happened already but they have suspended all deposits and withdrawals from happening until further notice.
It is not a contentious fork and so does not result in any new coins from it happening.
So why would they decide to suspend all transactions of ethereum?

On September 27, 2019 the case which allowed a user of CoinOne whose exchange account was hacked to sue the cryptocurrency exchange for the amount of funds which was stolen from them. The hacker exchanged the cryptocurrency in the victims account into bitcoin then allowed them to withdraw it. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/south-korean-court-sets-compensation-precedent-for-cryptocurrency-exchangesIsn't it strange this exchange didn't have a limit in place so to safe guard against them withdrawing the entire amount from the account before the original account knew and could of stopped the second withdraw from happening? Atleast the hacker wouldn't have been able to drain the account completely of their funds. |

I have two nitro rx580 special edition 8gb cards. These are the overclocked and blue led light ones.
They both have their boxes in good condition with all stuff included.
They both get 33.45 mh/s running on the new claymore miner 14.7 with rxboost. Never tried phoneix miner so could probably get higher hashrates with twk
Want 0.015btc each and looking to sell both at the same time to one buyer.
Shipping anywhere you want so it is another 0.0025btc for this.
Total price for both plus shipping included is 0.0325btc.
Not looking for arguing and just negotiation back and forth in pm. So if you don't plan on paying this amount I am asking don't bother to pm me about it.
Both are in great condition and not pushed hard. They have never gone over 57c when mining.
Also rig they are in are on all the time. Shut off at night and on weekends.

Having this on every crypto minded individual since release of the news broke a couple of months ago I am wondering when it is launched on monday will it pump up the price or drive it down? https://bravenewcoin.com/insights/bitcoin-price-analysis-network-stats-hit-new-highs-with-bakkt-on-theThe price has decreased about $400 from yesterday so by monday when it officially launches will it have it soar past what it was just 48 hours ago? I have a feeling it will have a flat effect on the price and might possibly dip lower due to high expectations being dashed out. Just like when you go into a movie but get out feeling disappointed from what you expected it to be due to it being overhyped. This can also happen in crypto too with the ICO and IEO have shown us. The hype up and then the sell off of those coins driving the price down, down , down.  upload |

Japan’s governing Liberal Democratic party is planning to propose legal changes that would define bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as currencies. The changes would mean bitcoin could be more tightly regulated and taxed, and are likely to lead to more investment in developing cryptocurrency infrastructure in Japan. Tomonori Kanda, an official in the financial affairs section at the party’s headquarters, said legislative changes were discussed on Wednesday and the LDP aimed to raise the matter in parliament. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/25/japan-to-make-bitcoin-legal-currency |

More than a year ago, an effort began to offer insurance products to companies in the bitcoin space – an intriguing idea at the time given the infancy of the industry and the inability of startups to secure this protection for user funds. The initiative marked some key early successes – security startup BitGo and wallet service Xapo would go on to acquire insurance by way of those efforts – but at least one of those involved says demand for insurance, particularly bitcoin theft insurance, never fully materialized. Now, a former president and founder of a business venture dedicated to promoting these insurance products to bitcoin companies is facing serious fraud allegations. Court documents obtained by CoinDesk allege that Joseph Donnelly, founder and ex-president of Bitcoin Financial Group borrowed $300,000 from Raymond and Suzanne DeBiasa of New Jersey in 2008 to invest the money, but failed to repay the funds. http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-insurance-advisor-founder-securities-fraud/ |

Paul Chou is an outlier in the super-hot New York City blockchain scene working to build the decentralized ledger technology made popular by bitcoin into the core of Wall Street. While this new crop of venture-backed companies is trying to separate the blockchain from the concept of a cryptocurrency, Chou says the two are inextricably linked and must remain so if the blockchain technology is ever to be widely adopted. “A lot of the proposals for using blockchain without bitcoin are extremely misguided,” Chou, the cofounder and CEO of LedgerX who previously wrote code for Goldman Sachs, said in an interview with the New York Business Journal. “Maybe incredibly misguided, and certainly not proven.” http://www.bizjournals.com/newyork/news/2016/02/24/federal-government-s-bitcoin-adviser-calls.html |

Handling cash and bank cards poses many risks. Not only can you be a victim of a robbery or be charged exorbitant fees by banks and card issuers, but you can also get sick by just touching cash. Indeed, bills, debit cards, and credit cards are dirty. They carry bacteria, fecal matter, and even drugs. The combination of an obsolete banking institution and a three-thousand-year-old fiat monetary system is not only incompatible with the borderless, digital, democratic, and the fast-moving new economy, but is also expensive and literally unhealthy. https://news.bitcoin.com/stay-healthy-use-bitcoins/ |

In the continuing struggle between advocates for Bitcoin core and the hard fork of Bitcoin Classic, some Bitcoin ATM’s have drawn a line in the sand on where they hope the future of the cryptocurrency to go in favor of Bitcoin Classic. In a recent Reddit thread posted on behalf of the Bitcoin ATM company Bitlove, they shared that they were among 5 current Bitcoin ATM companies including Coinucopia, Herocoin, Tobitcoin, Sumbits, and Bitlove which would switch to Bitcoin Classic to support the immediate block size increase. In total, 29 Bitcoin ATM’s across North America have switched to running Bitcoin Classic. https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/5-bitcoin-atm-companies-switch-to-running-bitcoin-classic/ |
