This may help on a financial / theoretical level, but does not work for real world load leveling of power. The power company can not sell their mined bitcoin to buy power from bitcoin accepting aliens to supplement their supply during peak times. They have to back that up with real world stored energy or additional capacity. I suppose you're thinking they could use this to help justify increasing capacity, but I don't see that happening in reality. That's a large investment with a payout peroid of decades, paired with for a new concept (bitcoin) that may or may not work, especially in it's current forum. What if SHA256 is broken and there is a switch to SHA512 or other? Current ASIC hardware would no longer function, and if a power company spent billions and expected an ROI over 20+ years, this would be devastating.

I wouldn't trust BTC to remain the same over this time scale.

Chuck Lee is passively pushing for his employer to take his creation to the moon: https://www.coinbase.com/litecoin

Ohhh shit. Remember when MtGox was going to integrate litecoin?

It will never die because it is light. Only heavy things sink. Light floats. Therefore, litecoin chikun will eventually float, on it's on, to the moon.

This logic = fool proof!

What is the situation with being unable to change the profile avatar at this time?

Not only at this time, but for over a year - there was an exploit associated with it, so that feature was disabled. As soon as the new forum software is up and running, perhaps later this month, we should have that option back again.

I see. It's been a while. I made a stupid mistake, and used the same password for my account here as on an altcoin mining pool and someone fuck-tard stole my account. Was like screw it! and left until now. Now I'm even more pissed I lost that account!

Thanks for the info!
