41  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: 1 TH/S dragon miner. Has anyone tried it more than 24 hours? on: March 20, 2014, 05:05:23 PM
The IP should be displayed on lcd on the front of the miner.
Enter the ip address in your browser.
This should bring up the web interface.


Change the network information and click the green button.
Change the pool information and click the red button.

I had to clicked the buttons a couple of times to get it to take.

All governments can declare a state of emergency or sanctions or whatever reasons they dream up and confiscate your account. Nothing new here.

China dominates bitcoin trading volume. The answer is likely to be found there.
44  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: on what condition can people have fath for bitcoin just like for gold? on: March 20, 2014, 02:09:17 PM
On the condition of mass delusion. Value is in the eye of the beholder. There was time when there were no humans on earth and no one to value gold. There will be a time when gold will no longer be valued. The 5000 years history of gold is a blink of the eye compared to the age of the earth. So it is with bitcoin. It was once worthless and will be so again. Only the mass delusion of some humans gives it value.

53  Other / Off-topic / Re: Physical gold as my retirement fund? on: March 20, 2014, 10:26:08 AM
So I wanted to get your guys thoughts about having a retirement fund in physical gold stored in a safety deposit box or fire proof gun case.

Back in the 30's FDR confiscated gold from Americans. Gold in a safe deposit is an easy target for an insolvent government.

Always postpone and avoid meetings with time wasting morons.

My $.02.

Wink

This is perhaps why I spend most of my time @ home? Cheesy
This is best way to avoid meetings with time wasting morons Tongue


This too is true which is why I prefer little hole-in-the-wall bars as the morons are all in the sports bars!

My $.02.

And I thought the dutch drink only coffee and milk. Smiley
55  Other / Off-topic / Re: If mining asteroids becomes commonplace is any element rare enough to be money? on: March 20, 2014, 09:44:38 AM
Just think one Asteroid with the diameter one kilometer. Can provide all the world iron production for a year, all the world production for gold and silver  for 10 years. All platinum production for a thousand years. And this only for a small asteroid and there are more than 750k other asteriods with same size other even called dwarf planet.

Such an asteroid striking the earth would be equivalent to 1000 hydrogen bombs. Good luck mining the debris from the impact.

They will not catch bring the asteriod near to earth. I think they will mine on the location and only bring back the ores.

That would be prohibitively expensive in energy and in money.

what you need to do is attach thrusters to the asteroid on one of its closer passes by earth, then while it is making its journey around the solar system and back again you use the thrusters to gently "nudge" it in such a manner that on its next close pass by you can lasso it in earths gravity. then you fracture it into bits with explosives or something and rain those bits down over your giant desert property to be collected by a sand sifting harvester. would this be prohibitively expensive? maybe but also maybe not, all of the gold on planet earth is pretty damn valuable.


Not gonna work, that is very dangerous. Do you want create a meteor shower? When the big chunks reach the ground those will create big craters. Many civilian would die on the process. The chunks would scatter thousands of miles  on the ground and would be very hard to control.


yea i dont think you understand how meteors work. no offense i mean everyone cant know about everything there are a lot of things i dont know much about so please dont take it personally. only very very large meteors actually survive the atmosphere long enough to actually impact the ground. also we obviously arnt talking about sticking the worlds largest nuke at the center of the asteroid and blasting it into a thousand random uncontrolled pieces. we are talking about fracturing it at key points with controlled explosions and then guiding these pieces to the intended destination with means other than explosions.

please dont tell me that something is totally imposable simply for your own lack of imagination. it may be imposable, im not going to argue that it isnt. but please dont pretend that you know that this is the case. neither of us knows for sure one way or the other.


You have a unique idea . I never read anything like that until now.  Hope they don't crash the asteroid near me.  Smiley

No worries. A 6 km diameter asteroid killed the dinosaurs and 75% of species on earth. Humans may survive a 1km asteroid. Remember to duck under your table.  Grin

Thats the problem, its loud. At least for me it is xD

The loudness doesn't bother as much as the whine which a couple of the fans has developed.

I second the recommendation for bitcoin-qt. I find multibit buggy. If you want light wallet, i suggest electrum. If you want safety, avoid all website wallets.

If you haven't done so already, I would suggest getting an ereader. There are thousands of books online that you can download for free. Also download Calibre, it's a free program to help organize your ebooks.
