Asking a nice "bunny" question, where is the repository of all of this information in a clearly set out spot?  Is there a nice FAQ saying what the framework is; like the taxes, revals, even vs odd blocks, different versions or even information about the "issuer" of SC?  It might then have the 0.6416 number and the % of an individual's effort going as a "tax" (I would prefer the word impost)

Most organisations have this kind of thing if they want people to adopt their product/idea.

In Classical Studies at university they touched on the christian bible and to get people to read it they packed it full of violence, sex and all the things that make a good read.  Over time the books were selectively weeded out.

I'm missing something PG.  What's wrong with Bologna?  I've driven past it once, on the way to Milan on the only time I have been in Europe, and one of my colleagues did a semester for her international commercial masters in law there - she liked the food.

Sorry I missed this thread and posted a related question in a similar one.  However, the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwean_dollar link is too good to waste and 10^25 sets a standard that makes the SC reval pretty small.  Watching with interest how SC develops.

I noticed the new version 10 (assuming it hasn't been updated) was due to kick in at block 50000 with the new rewards.  I saw a comment that the cost of production will rise to 20-30 cents per coin.  Is this right?  The exchange price is still around 0.2-0.3 cents.

(watching for the economics of revaluation - for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwean_dollar is a fun read)

Religious persecution and violence in the name of a deity (including Jesus/Christ/Christian god) is littered through history.

Thanks - watched the clip.  It's nicely animated.  We have other birds that plummet, not just the Kiwi.

I sent them (seti) an email back in July when they were doing a fund raiser - never heard anything back.

Thinking about it again, of the 70 to 100 projects out there, some are always after donations.  There is a guy Tobias who runs "FreeHal at Home" who always seems to want someone to cover his bandwidth costs - you could try him.

There is a GPU rainbow table project in boinc  -  http://boinc.freerainbowtables.com/distrrtgen/ and http://www.freerainbowtables.com/

Generation cost number come from my day job - but they are around in various published reports.  You local energy regulator probably has them in some form on their web site.

The big thing to note is Rossi hopes to have small scale units available for $100 per kW, or just 5% of conventional generation capacity.

No, the design was 1000kW for $2M.  Coal is about $1000/kW plus fuel costs (depending on currency).  Hydro power works out closer to $4000/kW and wind $1500/kW - these are for industrial/large scale installations.

Don't confuse capacity and output. 

Having read the early reports, it's still in the highly skeptical range of devices.  First time one gets into the hands of "public" for real testing will prove or burst the bubble.

The science is more H2 reaction ion stuff rather than "cold fusion", but I've been watching this story for a while and waiting patiently to see if it is a big scam or something worthwhile - time will tell.

Having followed this soap-drama for a while I was interested to see this comment about Psy's attitude to SC.  While I tend not to read Psy's posts too closely because they have lower entertainment value, they can easily be read as pro-SC.  Wasting some of my weekend and drinking coffee I had a look at the post log and they are right - anti-bitcoinexpress, but not pro-SC.

More coffee now

So, two important questions:  What brand of vodka and how do you get the kiwi to fly in the avatar?

Good work guys.

Um, I agree, where is the normal BitcoinExpress?  Very odd.

Although largely pointless, you could message webmail.co.za and inform them of the user account in breach of their terms of service - engaging in extortion would probably count in most jurisdictions as illegal.

Don't need to say more.

LOL +1 - I work in an "economics shop" although I am not an economist, and the practical evidence is economists don't agree on almost everything.  There are some areas where there is aggregation of opinions.

and another happy Gox user finally gets something resolved in public

I dodge Gox as a preference because they don't inspire any real confidence, especially since their hack fiasco.  I didn't lose funds or coin, but the delay in transferring money around just smelled too much like they have an underlying problem that I don't want to be victim of.  Yes, I did lose 3BTC  when they did the BitPLN acquisition because their system could work out the difference between accounts, and they play favourites for some of their users, but they are making some money and if they wanted to abscond with a huge amount of coin, it would crash the value immediately - they'd have to take the cash and that would be real crime.  But while this is still wild-west, lawless trading and there are no accounts/records or protections, people lose sometimes.
