You really are dumb as a box of rocks, aren't you? I reported your post from yesterday for plagiarism and this is yet more plagiarism. Just waiting for you to show up in the modlog as nuked or autobanned.

Lol... "I like turtles."

What's that rule for live TV? Never feature kids or animals? Yep.

When I read that comment it made me think of I like trains!

Yeah, as you noted it took mere minutes for the clueless and the spammers to resume posting like nothing happened. I expected that from the sig-campaign/bounty-hunting shitposters, but not the ones who might have misunderstood that HoweyCoins is a cautionary tale/joke. Oh well, you can lead a horse to water and all that...

I just hope that the staff/moderators are, indeed, using that thread as a honeypot to tag spammers and plagiarizers. One of the latter class of idiot plagiarized a post by "Thermos Cat"... You really can't make this stuff up!

I've been mining MUSIC for months now on beta-music.pool.sexy:10012

The ping isn't the best for my location in the US (about 195-205ms) but I don't seem to have too much of a problem with stale shares as I am getting credited for my full hashrate (else I wouldn't keep mining there for months). Orchardcoins has a good rep, too, though.

Another one to file under, "You can't make this shit up."

And speaking of, nur1labs from the HoweyCoins thread is *still* clueless... now he wants to report theymos!?! 

Technically correct, but transformer power ratings are more of a moving target rather than a fixed number because as long as the core is sized properly for the voltage swing and frequency the power throughput is entirely dependent on the temperature rise of the windings. Taken to the extreme, that means a nearly infinite amount of power can flow through a transformer if the windings are superconductors. I know it sounds crazy, and using superconductors for windings isn't exactly practical, but it's true.

Even with humble copper windings most utility distribution transformers are immersed in oil for cooling so they can take a high degree of overload for surprisingly long periods of time, particularly if the ambient temperature is well below 25-35C. Hell, one cheap way that utility companies can instantly increase a transformer's power rating is to slap some fans on it; good for at least a 25% bump in continuous load rating, as long as the higher voltage drop is permissible.


The willingness of the utility company to upgrade your distribution transformer very much depends on the particular company and municipality (and, of course, how much average power you have drawn or are projected to draw). In my neck of the woods you practically have to set the pig on fire before the utility will replace it for free, and while they will gladly upgrade it if you pay them to do so, that can take weeks for the paperwork or whatever to work its way through the various bureaucracies.

Sweet mother of Crisco...

Well, just because the main breaker says 400A doesn't mean you can actually draw 400A for more than a few seconds. Firstly, the NEC limits maximum continuous use of any circuit to 80% of the wiring or breaker rating, whatever is less (usually the breaker). Secondly, the distribution transformer (usually affectionately referred to as a "pig" if mounted on a utility pole) will likely be rated for 10kVA to 50kVA if pole-mounted, and 50kVA to 200kVA if pad-mounted, and each transformer will likely serve 1 - 6 houses so you really don't have nearly as much power available as you might think.

Our esteemed OP can probably provide a bit more detail on this seeing as he has had major electrical service work done, along with solar tie-ins, etc.

 

Actually, there is a reasonable explanation, or, at least, I found it reasonable, if not entirely likable. Basically, the entire roadmap got tossed like a cheap salad when CN coins started getting attacked back in Feb/Mar. The solution was to expedite the shift to Atlantis but that screwed up marketing, more exchanges, etc. Then there was the announcement and arrival of CN ASICs and we know what happened there. The premine is supposed to be used to pay for marketing, exchange listing fees, setting up the business (aka foundation) and, yes, paying staff (remember, no ICO) but once the amounts and block heights are locked there's no going back without a hard fork.

CaptDero says the premine will be locked again soon and one can either take him at his word or not. I chose to take him at his word.

A fair point, but I would counter with: if word got out that the premine was being sold on the open market outside of the (sort of) planned releases the price of DERO will basically go to zero. There's just no way to unload a meaningful amount of the premine without causing the proverbial Panic At The Disco.

Justice, sweet justice! 

It seems that a good 50% of the shitposters that post to the merit & new ranks thread in the hopes of finding some "marits" end up getting nailed for plagiarism instead. To paraphrase from Man of Steel, "A good nuking is it's own reward."

A fair point; the premine amount is relatively high to many coins in percentage terms, but since there wasn't an ICO the premine is what will be used to pay for marketing, exchange listing fees, website development, other assorted bounties and, yes, to hopefully make the dev team filthy rich.

Since I am a Libertarian at heart I don't mind the high premine percentage (~10% of total supply) and much prefer it to an ICO (or worse - masternode sales) where a huge amount of money is available immediately, leaving precious little incentive for the dev team to keep working.

That's my opinion, anyway.

This response only merits the automaton bot: beep...bloop...beep...beep

No, that really doesn't seem like him at all. Captain is a man of few words, to be sure, but I'm not seeing any more similarity between him and BTCN-dev as some people have claimed there is between you and Serena. Ahem.

I'm sorry, but this is getting to be too painful to watch. HoweyCoins was created by the US Securities & Exchange Commission to warn people about scammy ICOs (which is basically all of them, from what I can tell). THIS IS NOT A REAL PROJECT. If any of you mindless account farmers, haiku bots and bounty hunters actually read the OP and knew more English than what google translate can spit out you would have realized this.

Sadly, I know full well that 99.99% of you won't read this post, either, so you'll continue to write your "good projekt" and "scintillating plan, absorbing vision, faultless logo" crap anyway.

Legit questions are addressed, but trolls are ignored. Beep...bloop... beep... beep.

The way I read that convo, it was more like Captain was challenging you to prove your assertion by presenting a solution, rather than agreeing that there was a problem in the first place. This is a common tactic of his and one that usually shuts the complainer up. You being a notable exception, of course.


I talk shit about a lot of people because internet. That said, I've only banned one person - versus the >50 by S&M - so it's a bit early to be calling me a hypocrite. Pretty much everyone except Sajo8 was happy to see you go, and Saj08 seemed more concern this was a return to the evil S&M days. But I haven't broken out the ball gag and whip just yet.

Yes, pretty much this. The irony here is that I rather forcefully argued for not banning JohnSmith two days ago, but then he/she/it proved that Kryptoid's initial ban was totally justified.
