In my country, to own a gun, you need:

- a membership from a shooting range
- you need to be active in the shooting range (at least a dozen times a year)
- you need to take an exam every 5 years
- you need to pay extra tax every 5 years
- your doctor needs to sign a weaver that you are capable of owning a gun
- you need a special cage to store your gun
- you need a signature of every person over 18 years old, living in your house
- certain calibers are just illegal, no normal civillian can own them... Period (it's pretty hard to own a firearm other than caliber 6 and 9 mm)
- the amount of ammunition you can own is limited (i think you can have 10.000 cartridges as a private citizen)

So it's basically almost impossible to own a gun legally (many people own guns illegally tough). However, gun related deaths are pretty low.

EDIT: even after all these thing, the government can change gun controll laws whenever they want. If you stop complying to the new laws, you have to turn in your firearm with the police for free, even when you bought it legally... (this actually happened on  two occasions the last couple of years)

What are Altcoins and how much are they worth in USD and in Bitcoins?

Altcoins are usually (but not always) clones from the open source bitcoin. Usually, the name, ports, nodes, algorithms are used (a lot of times, even improved)

Check where your phone install Apps. If your phone available memory is not enough, you may need to install MCZ mining app in the external memory (MicroSD card).

It's on the phone's storage... There is a little over 1 Gb free on the storage, hence my question if this app really needs 1 Gb, or if it's a bug?

Ik ben nieuw in de cryptocurrency wereld, maar is het niet zo dat, als alle chinese miningfarms zouden wegvallen, de moeilijkheid een pak zou zakken, en dat de rest van de wereld terug intresse (winst) zou tonen om met een kleine antminer te minen?

If he is not fit to be released in to the society, then he should be locked up until he becomes one. And why prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment are released after 15 years? They should be there for life. Take the case of Anders Behring Breivik. He will be released from prison in less than 10 years time, despite killing 77 people in cold blood.

You are 100% right... I didn't vote for the politicians that wanted to go soft on crime, but apparently most of my fellow inhabitants did, hence they are releasing monsters in our society.

The code ALToff is about to expire in 10 days... If anybody is interested in the future: PM for a custom code!

Don't forget: most inmates will be released one day (at least in my country, where life in prison means 30 years, and 30 years means 15 years effective incarceration)...

If you treat an inmate like an animal for 15 years, you will release an animal to society.

very safe i think, but the fee is so damn high Grin
better use other exchange ( with lower fee )... ( based on my experience Cheesy LOL )

Is there another exchange that allows you to deposit funds using paypal?

I have 1 Gb free on my phone's storage, but your app keeps complaining that it cannot install due to insufficient space... Is this a bug, or does it need a huge amount of storage?
1430  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What kind of miners do you have now on: June 18, 2015, 03:32:40 PM

I laughed pretty hard on that one Grin

Rather than fire up an old HP server, you can easily plug those sticks into an rPi, or even whatever laptop you're currently using.  I've got 5 of them in a powered USB hub, and that hub is plugged into my rPi.  The rPi has cgminer 4.9.1 compiled from source running.  I point them to -ck's solo pool because you never know Smiley.

The cost to run it is virtually negligible... the U2s draw about 12.5W total and the rPi about 2.5W.  15W total consumption costs me about $0.04 a day.  With your insanely high electricity costs, that same setup would cost you about €0.10 a day.  Since you're only talking about 2 U2s, that would be a total power draw of 7.5W and about €0.05 a day.  Pretty sure you could slip that one by the wife without notice Tongue.

Of course, solo mining with only 2 U2s, you've got about a 1 in 617589 chance a day of finding a block at current difficulty levels... but at the cost of playing, it's worth it.

It's actually a very good idear... I am, however, one of the few reasonably tech savvy guys on the planet that doesn't own a raspberry... I do have an old neoware CA22 laying around. I might try to install a linux distro on it, and run it as a server. It also has 2 usb-ports, so i might just plug the U2's dirctly into the thin client (don't know if this would be possible, with the heat and the fact they do draw a couple of Watts).

Thats great. But like I said above currently none of the initial publishers will accept adult adverts. But when we open it up for other publishers, I expect there will be some who will accept these.
I'm a patient man  Grin

I would like to try out your conversion ratios once you allow publishers...

I think you might have overlooked my post  Wink

Sorry about that! 0.01 BTC credited now Smiley

No problem, thanks for the credit, i have some adult adds + traffic i'm going to try out on your service  Wink
1434  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What kind of miners do you have now on: June 18, 2015, 12:44:19 PM
No, she'd probably be pretty upset.

€0.27 per kWh means an S3 will cost you roughly €2.20 per day to run.  Currently, that S3 expects to make €0.97 a day.
For an S5 you'll do a little better, but still not going to make anything... €3.82 to run a day, expects to make €2.91 a day.

Might want to hold off on taking it to the next level Tongue

Not only would she be upset, for once she would have a good reason to be upset  Grin

I actually wasn't planning on taking it to the next level anyway, i was aware of the fact that the more hashing power i burn in my home, the more money it'll cost me. Energy prices in my country are insane...

I'm just going to use my (future) U2's to mine some BTC and to experiment. I'm aware of the fact that running a server (i've got an old HP Proliant gathering dust) with those 2 usbsticks will consume a lot more power that can ever be made with the BTC it'll mine... But i don't really care  Cool

In that case: i'll wait together with you guys  Grin
