hahahahaahahahaaaa, you're worse than the other guy, are you his dad? Your username explains your sexuality 'position'.
Got to put you on ignore
Ah, some people(Armis) will forever dwell in their ignorance. Stupidity surely is a hard thing to change. It's not his fault and it's not stupidity. This person - like most religious adults - was indoctrinated during their formative years, long before they had developed the critical thinking skills necessary to discern truth from falsehood, long before they would ever hear the phrase scientific method". There's a reason every religious group forces their bullshit down the throats of young children. It's the only time they can. By the time any modern teen has been educated about science, getting them to believe in a god would be as difficult as getting them to believe in santa claus. IMHO indoctrinating children into anything is a form of child abuse, and should be treated as such by the law. What's funny is that with him and a lot of other people with his beliefs that in most other situations of their lives they apply the critical reasoning necessary to dismiss claims that are unfounded and yet fail to apply it to their religious beliefs. I think the biggest difference between him and I will be that I will never claim an absolute and I'm happy to say that I'm wrong Some people just don't want to give up their favourite play toys.. It's useless to argue with someone not willing to admit they are wrong Best to just sit back and have a chuckle.. a lot of the rhetoric is just recycled over and over anyway |

How does anyone that believes "the big bang theory" not understand that a plan had to be conceived prior to anything of that magnetude, furthermore that someone had to create the ingredients to make the thing in the first place.
We don't in the sense you think "believe in the big bang theory" We have examined the evidence that was left over from it and concluded that is most likely how the universe began No one knows (including you) at this point what happened before it and very simply if you say that you require "someone" had to create the universe, then it doesn't answer anymore questions that it poses itself I.e. Who created the creator and you fall into an infinite regression If you say that a creator has always been or is some uncaused cause.. you're only digging yourself a deeper hole I think Socrates once said "True knowledge is knowing that you know nothing" Also if you think that "nothing" can't come from "nothing" I suggest you have a good think about what nothing actually is and watch a few of Lawrence Krauss' lectures on the subject |

Technically everyone is an Atheist in some respect (unless you believe in every single god known to man)
I don't really like the word to be honest and it has a lot of bad stigma attached to it (mostly unfairly attached by theists)
We also don't attach the latin "A" meaning without to anything else in life
I'm not a stamp collector but I don't go around calling myself a AStampCollector .. nor would any of my views/opinions/morality etc be based from that
23 pages with an average of 10 words per page 230 words using the A prefix Estimated to be over a million words in the English language http://www.languagemonitor.com/number-of-words/number-of-words-in-the-english-language-1008879/230/1000000*100 = 0.023% That's just single words as well not even descriptions And that's not even relevant to the point Well done.. you're very special.. |

Superstition is the end of reason.
No gods, no masters.
yeah, everyone is equal ... idiot! Try this experiment take flour, eggs, sugar, baking soda, butter, milk, and a oven and just leave them in the kitchen, how long do you thing it would take to evolve into a cake? a million years, a billion years, a trillion years? It won't happen because there's no action behind it, and there no plan behind that. Before you have an earth, solar system, or galaxies you must have a plan, as well as the ingredients and action to carryout that plan. Who created the ingredients, and who designed the plan? You can't get a "bang" without bang ingredients and a plan to make a bang. ... who created thought, who created a system where by the invisible mind controls the physical body ... You live in a world where 90+% of the world population are theist. Be glad they don't treat you as you treat them. Comparing everything that exists to a cake, nice. And where does that 90+% figure come from? Does that include non practicing "theists"? The 90+% figure is what I use when I don't feel like using 97% and bickering over percents. You have those who believe there is a God, the God, the Gods, and those who don't believe there is a God. Those who believe there is a God but not worthy of worship, praise, or honor are still theist. There are tons of kids that thoroughly hate their parents and and what nothing to do with then (unless of course they need them), even go as far as to wish they were not their parents but they don't deny their parent's existence. In time most come around. It's absolute foolish to live on this earth for a full lifetime and exit our reality believing all of this organization could occur without a plan. When you throw around numbers like 90% of the worlds population are at the very least Theist then you are arguing from ad populum and authority If you need a further explanation of what those arguments are please feel free to look them up on the medium we use that contains more information than the entire known human history. When you argue from these positions you may think it's credible but even if 99.999999% of the people in the world were Theist is doesn't prove that any god exists Science is the best medium in which we can falsify our claims and as of now we have perfectly reasonable explanations/theories for the beginning/state of the universe and life and the things we don't know right now we say we don't know. Your analogy is completely wrong about Evolution as well.. it's no wonder you think that way.. Just to elaborate on that though in Quantum Theory you could calculate the time it would take for those ingredients to become a cake.. It would be a number though that no one person could fathom.. I suggest watching a 1 hour presentation by Brian Cox.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u9YmpCg9bY will blow your mind To think that you on this tiny speck of a planet in the massive universe..possibly among many more that your specific deity has a plan for you would be foolish |

I've tried both the DK1 and DK2 versions
I can say that within 15 minutes of using the DK1 the resolution starts to hurt my eyes and I can get light headed
We actually use it at work to virtually walk through a TBM (Tunnel Boring Machine)
With the DK2 I don't really feel that sickness come on at all
Both are very cool though
Good luck with the sale

Sounds like a good way to build Flyer points on the card you are using I know with Virgin cards you can get 3 points for every $1 on menulog Maybe doing it for a free holiday  |

Yes that was the point I was eluding to
|
|

I'd be very interested to know that on the date that you start your machine hashing.. at that point how many Bitcoins have you spent to get it to that point?
This would include how many Bitcoins you could have purchased at the time you paid money for it (I.E if you paid $4200 and at that time it was 600 a coin you would have 7 coins now)
|

Out of interest..
What's going to stop you from taking back the account at a later date?
Not saying that you will.. just wondering how it's exchanged as it is against the Terms and Conditions of the account?

It doesn't really matter what the BTC price is now.. it's how many you paid for it or how many you could have bought with the price at the time of sale The important part now is the difficulty and it's been above what I predicted You're looking at around 25 billion or so before you start hashing Sad to say but unless you have free power, the difficulty doesn't rise at all or you sell it off to an unsuspecting person that doesn't realise they could buy more coins than they would mine for the price you're just going to have a very noisy,expensive power hungry box that you have to maintain for the next 6 months My Bitcoins just sit in my secure wallet  No maintenance required |

I generally sit down to write about something because it has somewhat of a therapeutic effect. You know, the whole 'get the demons out' thing. Well, I'm not sitting down. I'm reclining in boxer briefs in a newly bought house and my daughter is offering to shove some green play-doh in my nose in between the plot points of "My life as a teenage robot".
We bought the house through really careful saving over three years, mainly, and a couple well-timed promotions, which got our earning potential high enough for a decent mortgage.
Great. House, car, decent job, health, some money in the bank. Some money in the bank. Some money in the bank.
I first learned about bitcoin in 2011 off metafilter. It piqued my interest because I had argued with a thesis advisor for a couple years starting in 2006 that virtual currencies and properties were just as salient as our real life ones and to the extent that they could be made limited, just as valuable. Anyway, I had little money in 2011, and I didn't quite fully understand the problem that the blockchain solved.
Fast forward to March 2012. I had just gotten married and had a bit of cash. Again, I hear about bitcoin on mefi and it's now at $70.00 or something (this recollection may be inaccurate). I had enough then to have 700 BTC now if I had thrown my weight at it--and I was seriously contemplating doing it (I still remember the pause I had when I was opening my car door before I went to work, mulling it over in my head from the night before: if I lost that much I would be a fool, wouldn't I?)
I didn't do it.
December of 2013 rolled around and now I knew I was a fool. My heart pounded. I had missed my shot.
No, I hadn't.
I started buying in February all the way through the downtrend.
Then, I got into mining: a large group buy investment, script asics since the beginning (dual miner, grid seed, g blade, black widow, thunder, a train where each engine you add slows you down).
All told I have probably thrown 11k (maybe more) or so at BTC in varying ways and I have about 6.5BTC to show for it. It depresses me when I really think about it. But, here I am in my boxer briefs in my new house all the same (they're black btw). I guess there is some solace in being in your underwear in a house you own.
I am trying to turn this into a positive any way that I can, demons out notwithstanding.
Thanks for the read.
Not sure what the issue is here? You still have the 6.5 BTC right? They're not worth anything until you sell them... |

And now he is deleting my posts with completely legitimate claims
I'm sorry but you just don't delete things you don't like it's extremely unprofessional
You've completely lost all confidence that I had and I asked that anyone who enters into these hosting contracts to be as diligent as possible
This also isn't the first time he has deleted a post that points out his shortcomings as well

$0.1528 per KwH?
Seems expensive.
Actually, I don't think that is a bad price for hosting. Keep in mind that power costs are only around half of the total cost for hosting services. That's ridiculous, for all encompassing hosting .15 per KwH is expensive. There are lots of DC's run by IT people and Data-Center engineers (Lee is a chemical engineer) who charge less than that. Also, .1528 for 98% packet loss on the network connection seems highly unreasonable. 17. 61.160.130.222 59.8% 256 227.1 214.1 204.9 248.3 11.0 18. 61.147.83.150 89.8% 256 204.8 206.4 203.7 223.2 4.9 19.  20. 61.147.100.66 96.5% 256 249.1 285.1 248.8 378.8 56.1 I have to agree here it's not cheap at all As much as he guarantees these up times there is no way they can be achieved Essentially if you want that sort of up time you have to constantly monitor your own devices and then hope someone responds in a timely fashion when you notice something has gone offline etc When I was hosting some miners with him I asked about Insurance and he may be able to confirm but as of then there was no insurance at all If the place burned down there would have been nothing we could have done Not saying he isn't a trustworthy nice guy but if you want to charge premium prices and throw around numbers like 99% up time you at least have to have some sort of SLA People spend millions of dollars to claim these sorts of things |

One can only hope that the OP doesn't or hasn't procreated at all

I didn't think the PS4's were region locked
I bought one from the US when they were released and it worked 100% in Australia... that was a big selling point over the Xbox as well
I sold it a little while ago but was going to get another one
You're right about the price though.. it does seem quite low
Something to consider for sure
|
|

I'm interested in one of these
Only with Escrow though
What is the price with shipping to AUS?
Escrow terms would be that funds are released after the unit has arrived and confirmed to be working 100%
Thanks

Well if you can get someone to give you 7000 dollars for a device that generates 50 dollars a day and dropping rapidly every 3 days, more power to you. I wish I was that good a salesman! Good luck with the sale If you forget about FIAT values of Bitcoin and look at it like this Right now its about 10.8 BTCOn best estimates here http://poolpicker.eu/table you will earn roughly 0.0011 per MHS per day for now Which is about 0.1 per day @ 90MHS With no power costs and no rise its about 108 days to mine back what you spent Add power and rising difficulty you would be looking at 150-160days Which is pretty much exactly the same as you would get with any other miner at the moment If I had $7000 I would but 10.8BTC but some people like to mine No need to make stupid offers like $2000 seem legitimate though |
