Thermal conductivity, is the property of a material's ability to conduct heat. It appears primarily in Fourier's Law for heat conduction.
Heat transfer across materials of high thermal conductivity occurs at a faster rate than across materials of low thermal conductivity. Correspondingly materials of high thermal conductivity are widely used in heat sink applications and materials of low thermal conductivity are used as thermal insulation.  Thermal conductivity of materials is temperature dependent. In general, materials become more conductive to heat as the average temperature increases.  The reciprocal of thermal conductivity is thermal resistivity.

While interesting, I assume you are mocking me? Don't you like knowlege?

Who is going to be the first to bid 1.5BTC? Pay 0.5BTC to make avoid3d lose 0.5BTC? What fun!

If someone bids 1.5BTC I will spite them and bid 1.6 Tongue
Okay then, let me correct my statement: who will bid 1.5BTC and make avoid 3d lose 0.6BTC? What fun!

Haha I had to think about that for a second. A more telling "correction" to your statement would be:

who wants to pay 1.5BTC to make avoid3d lose 0.6BTC

no ?

</all in good fun>

Ok guys not to be a douchenozzle for too long but:

When referring to bitcoin mining rigs and mains electricity in general:

Power is measured in: kilowatts

Energy used is measured in kilowatt hours/b]

So if I have a rig pulling 500watts, I am drawing 0.5kw

That is 1 kilowat hour every 2 hours

That is 0.5 kilowat hours per hour. which is 0.5kw

So to say kllowat hours per hour is redundant just say kilowatts, and say killowat hours when talking about energy consumed over time.

There is no such thing as killowatts / hour. What you often mean is kilowatt hours per hour. Which is the same as kilowatts

Also, the wiki entry doesn't say what happens in the case of only one bidder Tongue

There is plenty of room for inside manipulation here. you could just make a shill account and bid 1 BTC, defrauding the previous bidder out of their contribution

Clever:

I bid 0.5BTC

Now only if charts.glbse.com would stop saying out of coins.  Tongue

It'd probably help to send some coins to the displayed donation address.

Ha!  Ok I sent them a coin because I have used the crap out of that, hopefully coin karma makes the http 500 go away.

Tongue

Am I missing something? Where do you see a 500? The page is completely static, doesn't look like it loads anything via ajax, does it?

Maybe I'm naive, but I seriously assumed this was a way to collect donations.


They said it in a forum post somewhere I beleive..  I  remember seeing it and I guess I wasn't dreaming because avoid3d there said the same thing.. It's like maybe 1 out of every 30 tries you might get the markets page up.. there is some intermittent problem with their webserver or data feed.. i guess.



Nono I was absolutely sure that "out of coins" meant a 5xx error. I was unsure if everyone else knew this

Peter: why did you stop uploading financial reports? Smiley where can I find the ones for november Smiley
34  Economy / Marketplace / I will aggregate 'left over' virwox lindens for you on: November 11, 2011, 09:28:30 PM
If you have ever used virwox then you will know that they only deal in integer amounts of bitcoins.

This means that you usually have a remaining amount of lindens worth less than one btc.

If you send them to 'avoid3d' I will include them in my next virwox purchase, and give you the btc Smiley

I will use whatever aggregate exchange rate I get for my whole order Smiley
35  Economy / Currency exchange / Re: Would people be willing to sell BTC for paypal if..... on: November 11, 2011, 09:13:07 PM
I am thinking of building some web of trust style things aswell Smiley


want to do a reputation system, and maybe a claims portal, where people make a claim and then submit evidence. So we can point to it when people claim something is a scam etc

I tried to widthdraw my BTC and got this message "Your withdrawal request has been received. However, a manual step is required before it can be completed. More information can be found here"  "here" is a link to a FAQ:
Please let us know how long it eventually takes to get your BTC.  Thanks.

Got my BTC about an hour ago.  so about 40 hours later.  The FAQ said 48, so it's all good.

gonna send you back now now Smiley check pm

It'd probably help to send some coins to the displayed donation address.

Just to be clear as far as I know, the "out of coins" message is their version of a 500 html error
39  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BTC Instant Sell vs Sell Order on: November 11, 2011, 12:35:42 PM
Neonflash, you are the one who asked for advice on how to sell 3BTC hey Smiley

this is the difference:

If the price of USD/Bitcoins is 5$ per bitcoin:

you market sell:

you get 5$ per bitcoin

you sell order:

you set the minimum amount that you are willing to get per bitcoin

and when the market moves to your price (i.e. the exchange rate moves to your price) the coins will sell

if that never happens they will never sell
