very well put, and emphasis mine.

I also anxiously await, and almost fear, a provable computational way to fix that problem.

but the distributed consciousness problem is eerily similar.

well, I have to admit that to me personally, the auction is the most interesting thing going on in bitcoin right now. (second place, mining, third place, sci-fi physics mumbo-jumbo) 

I'm expecting either a strong bounce from this line



or more waterfalls...

or just sideways 'till the auction

or, I really don't know anymore, I started listening to some guy talk about consciousness and reality and watching bitcoin prices and wondering about the relation between adoption and valuation and how a "particle" approaching a pair of slits is not really a particle until someone has observed and taken note of which slit it went through, recording the information in our consciousness, and how that is similar to a transaction before it is recorded in a block. Once recorded in the blockchain, that transaction is REAL ... or at least real in the terms that we can perceive it from within our own little reality bubble.

sorry for ramble, need more beer

I like lines!

which line were you referring to exactly?

this line?


or this one?


or some other line???

y u miners no mine while shipping?

anyways, I'm glad to at least have a little piece of that hashrate when it floods the network again in a couple days.

I'm just saying, I won't be sending my coins back into their hands until I think the risk is worth it.

if that upper line gets broken, then I'm back to risk on and I will be looking for opportunities to sell.

*fantasy land edit*  not selling at 800... I am planning a tranche starting at 1200 and going to 5000, at which point I will just stop and hoard the rest, just like last time, and the time before that, and the ... hehehe, sorry, couldn't resist.  

no real tranche planned for the downside though. I guess I've bought my fill.

If it goes down, I guess I'll go down with the ship. *or maybe transfer into some interesting alt-coins*

You're right of course, I was only trying to be facetious.

@tolip_wen:

great idea, I don't know what diameter for tube, but as long as you flatten them on the one side and you could bend the tube in a U-shape to touch all the VRM's

might need very high flow, but it doesn't need to be fancy.

btw, pretty sure the chip can be safely air-cooled. those tower CPU style coolers with the heatpipes are incredibly efficient.

I like drawing random lines...



just imagine   those lines don't converge until 2015 or something.

and yet, until they get broken, I'm probably not going to trade very much, currently have almost all fiat and crypto out of exchanges and on the sidelines.

Welcome to the forums and welcome to the thread, and consider this lesson #1 for bitcoin. Nothing is "for sure"

must have got my tracking number sometime last night as well.

It appears they are actually shipping en masse.

did anyone notice if the hashrate spiked then dropped recently? <smirk>

huobi looks too flat for too long

I don't like this one bit

“Such a return is pretty secure,” Chen said. It’s “virtually riskless.”

lol indeed.

love the new sig btw.

fixed that for you  

sure, I'll take a shot...

just change "Either you love it or you hate it" with "Either you get it or you don't"

done  

:edit: - I think the real barrier is that in order to understand why bitcoin is good, you need to first understand how the current fiat system truly works. - good luck explaining that to someone whose livelihood depends on the current system and then you will understand the problem that is faced in the "adoption gap" of bitcoin.

really?

If I were a bfx owner I would just be glad that mat continues to advertise for them in his sig. (unless of course if they were actually paying him to pimp finex in his sig, in which case I would cancel that contract, lol)

might be the first time I agree with you on anything, but in this case, I think you have gotten it right.

exchanges can skim profits from fees, and also have valuable information and ability to act profitably on that information.

exchanges or "money changers" are just another inefficiency in the current system.

it would be nice if we could reach consensus with a single currency and cut out the money changers, but I feel that exchanges of some type will likely always be necessary.

we will soon have thousands of currencies to change into and out of, and the ones facilitating the trades are going to profit. but I guess that's the cost of the freedom to pick your currency of choice?

Of course I can't give any advice, I can only say what I think, and I have a large probability of being wrong, but I'll take this opportunity to spew out some nonsense anyways  

I think this window might be the last chance at cheap coins.

once the auction is over, I suspect that those auctioned coins are not going to be re-sold any time soon.

I also get the feeling that any entity that is participating in the auction and does not win their desired amount of coins, will add to the buying pressure (I'm sure they won't immediately buy and spike the price, but I think they should be buying dips at the very least...)

I think that many coins might have been sold in the previous and coming weeks in the interest of both keeping the price low, and also securing enough USD to place a bid.

it's a risky situation, but that's what these people (the kind of entities that would be bidding for blocks of 3K coins) do for a living.

always remember to actively monitor and consider your risk exposure.

can anyone tell me how loud they are?

is it, ridiculous loud like a cointerra box that sounds like a vacuum cleaner running 24/7?

or is it whisper quiet like the jupiter? or somewhere in between? like an avalon?

noise is going to be my biggest limiting factor moving forward...
