yeah, but low efficiency of the solar panels because of not so many sunny hours..

we would need a larger investment but it's worth it since we'll be saving a lot because we're not building our own island Cheesy

it's not only -70° but 6 months nights and also blizzard no supply can reach you for over half a year and no infrastructure there
Yes, but six months of night also means six months of day.
Sure, during that 6 months night the solar panels will not produce any electricity, but thanks to the power buoys and wind turbines we might have enough anyway. We could also produce biogas to use if we don't produce enough with our renewable systems, since it is hard to store the excessive energy for a time as long as six months. It's always good to have a backup system.

seems a bit too expensive

there isn't enough sunlight to produce a lot of electricity I think even the sun is there..

Article IV § 2 states: “No acts or activities taking place while the present Treaty is in force shall constitute a basis for asserting, supporting or denying a claim to territorial sovereignty in Antarctica. No new claim, or enlargement of an existing claim, to territorial sovereignty shall be asserted while the present Treaty is in force”

That only applies to countries that has signed the treaty. Which we won't. Anyway, non of the nations have the right to deny our claim either. Also, if they disagree with our decision they can't do anything since according to the treaty, no military activity is allowed on Antarctica. I don't see what could possibly stop us? (except for money)

hmm

you made a point there

but it's Antarctica, it's -70C Cheesy

who would want to live here? Cheesy

altough, yeah, nice temperature so our miners don't overheat Cheesy

but we'll have a hard time acquiring free electricity

it's not only -70° but 6 months nights and also blizzard no supply can reach you for over half a year and no infrastructure there

that put solar panels out of the option Cheesy

lol

is there enough wind for wind power?

also curious if there are parts which aren't frozen and unclaimed

But ltc block halving is happening soon , will it impact the prices ?

no it will not, block halving increase is just a myth don't you think?

but it impacted bitcoin  , doesn't it ?

not sure, impacted how much?

In the coldest place on Antarctica the average temperature is -55°C. The costal areas however is much warmer. During the winters the average temperatures is around −18 °C, while during the summers it's about 0°C, and sometimes even more.

Who would want to live there? Well, people who feels this is a cool concept and people who have no future in their current countries would probably at least consider it for example.

And no, we would not have to worry about miners overheating! Smiley

The electricity, as I've said earlier, we'll get from solar power, wind turbines and power buoys, and with the right amount of them they should be able to support us.

@about Mars

let's stay realistic, food transfer would be too expensive, not mentioning other things + oxygen

Good. If it was legal the world would be a MUCH happier place,without wars.

Not really, MJ is not for everyone. If it would be legal in all the world it would do more harm then good. But it's legal in some places so who really need it gets it.

That it is legal doesn't mean you have to use it.
And not everyone who wants to use it be able to travel somewhere where it is legal...

But everyone would atleast try it.

should not force someone to try it

loss of freedom right there

weed is about freedom not force

I don't know, perhaps there will be a stream online, don't you think?

Doge is fun, but the supply is way too many wow.
Much flood, Doggie down.
I think the price can cut by ~50% and then a big rally.
What do you think?

the price started to grow now, not just in $ but compared to bitcoin as well Cheesy

can't wait to see how much will the media cover the nascar story, can you?

They did apology, but some consumers will be shocked and won't want anything to do with the company after this, it's  a risky manoeuvre in my opinion

but giving them free Hawaii tickets would make it a lot better Cheesy

don't think converstive people would accept that, and also the company can only give a limited amount of tickets ^^

they can squizee them in somewhere, they gave them plenty of free advertising Cheesy

the girl that posted was a teen don't think she was conservative Cheesy

never, there is no possible way it could be controled completely!

will it ever reach a 1 000 000$?

No it will not, I think at some point bitcoin will die, but other cryptocurrencies will take over (bitcoin 2.0 or 3.0 or whatever) what are the ideal specs of the bitcoin replacement and protocol enhancement ?

why would there be such a currency as bitcoin 2.0 when we can simply upgrade this bitcoin?

I don't think you can just about upgrade the bitcoin protocol just like that, there are things than can be and other than cannot be done, also the supply is pretty limited but anyways I think we should leave it to the future, for now don't you think that BTC price should rise more before celebrating ?

it's better if the supply is limited, one day we will be paying for stuff in Satoshis not Bitcoins Smiley

if the supply is your worry can't we just use Dogecoin? Cheesy
Does anyone have a feeling that Dogecoin is the next coin, or is that just me?

I have that feeling too, will you watch the race when the dogecoin car races on nascar on May 2nd?

that might work but people need to be hired which will work on the channel and that  costs money

better of just create a normal channel and keep uploading user created content on it Smiley

No one needs to be hired. Someone just makes the channel, gets on Google hangouts while recording, and invites others. Done.

needs to be unemployed with passive income in order to maintain an active live channel Cheesy

So I'v seen a few threads about building a bitcoin island

But the only territory that is unclaimed except for Antartica territories is Bir Tawil

It's basically sand, nothing else

BUT

High temperatures, plenty of sunny time means paradise for the crypto community

Why?

Setting up solar panels with maximum usage (so much sunny hours Cheesy) and generating free electricity to build massive space for mining

Possibility of creating a cex.io like website and selling mining GH/s etc. to acquire money for this project

What do you guys think?

2060 km2, a lot more then a 10sq km2 island to build or a 0.2 sq km2 island to purchase Smiley

For reference Bir Tawil (arabic) means long (water) well the zone is unclaimed officialy but there are soldiers in the region.

Solar panels is not a good solution due to the temperature, but Solar thermal power is (better than solar panel imo) plus I'm not sure about this the region should have great wind tunnels so Wind power should be another solution.

but there are some other serious issues, like pirates that have quite the numbers in the region, also it is a very instable and poor region (Sudan is in the middle of a civile war with armed groups and separatist and what's not. The best option for is to built an Island in international waters, near in a strategic zone, I think near the shore of Morocco is not a bad choice, as you can get the work force easly, you are in the middle of major fiber optic lines (between EU/Africa and the US (no NSA Control)) , the weather is not bad, and you can get plenty of energy being it, solar, wind, and hydraulic using ocean currents) the other option would be the pacific, but it doesn't have the same advantages

hm, interesting

I understand the danger

but there is no other territory with such volume we could take

that's why it's so appealing
Antarctica is bigger, safer AND we can take it! It's a bit cold though... Wink

they will not allow us

posting your referral link is mostly considered spam too..
Well, a way to get past it is posting it alongside with a non referral link, it gives people the option to chose. Atleast I've never had one of my referral posts deleted by doing so.

that usually takes care of it

for example saying everything about a website and posting it's original link


and below it saying if you want to credit me for this post you can register over my referral link insert link here but you don't need to

398  Other / Off-topic / Re: I'm pretty sure facebook won't implement anything close to cryptocurrency. on: April 15, 2014, 05:36:10 PM
My guess is they will just do another mpeso, QQ coin or some old shi* like that. Centralized online tokens that they fully control.

You betcha that they will. FB has no interest in BTC unless it will make them money and for them they'd make more simply making their own crap that they could promote using their platform.

that would be genius for Mark Zuckerberg

purchase 1 000 000BTC, enable them on facebook, start slow selling..

so if Mark owns some bitcoins they would have some interest indeed Cheesy
