Venezuela is one of the cheapest places in the world (on record) to mine bitcoin because of the really cheap electricity prices. Anybody feel like going to live there for 12-18 months & setting uo a mining farm with me? Wink


It dosen't work like this.
The electricity you are able to take in  beetween the very frequent blackouts is free, but to set up a mining farm you would need support by both governments and the local mafia.
This would be pricey, and risky.

Actually in my opinion the best way to mine would be some kind of agreement with some hydroelectric or nuclear facility, they usually produces an energy surplus which is wasted

I heard living there is too risky there.

Yeah, if someone had solid connections there I would consider.
Without some sort of reassurances by the locals - it's not possible.

Long time ago (15 years ago?) I was dating a (very) rich Venezuelan girl for a brief period of time. The situation was already bad enough that most rich people had flown away, sold their businesses to global corps and bought properties in Manhattan, Monaco, Madrid, etc.... For their homes in Caracas they had almost an army of privately hired (payment shared between several families/communities) security personnel with auto weapons. They knew the government of Chaves was unable and not going to protect them against robbers, hijackers, etc... more so as they were opposed to him. it was very frequent to hear the fire of weapons in the night.

Most of them are well established now out of their originating country, probably to never come back... unless things change.

And I am talking 15 years ago! Can't even dare to imagine what kind of shithole of a country it has become now. You really don't want to go there, much less if you have any money. Really. Completely forget about it.

Surely we can see with some degree of accurateness that this postulation bears a degree of accuracy while at the same time and notwithstanding
(snip)
we can also state that there are some figures and other datas on the interwebs which back up these rumorifications

A little out of line, it's not Thursday yet.

V8's keyboard seems to be spewing out gobble-dee-gook.  Even I agree.   Wink   Tongue

Surely we can see with some degree of accurateness word soup word soup word soup word soup
(snip)

JJ, did you stake a BTC address?

You mean me?  or jojo?  

I know that a joke would not be as good if it has to be explained, but isn't the suggestion that V8 is making fun of me by his long text, not that I took over V8's account or that he would be taking over mine?  I am losing the connection.   Cry
The implication is that as you took over V8's, someone could take over yours for retribution. Funny joke eh?  Roll Eyes. I'm embarrassed.

Dubai’s Property Giant has confirmed they sent an email to their agents which says property purchases can now be paid in bitcoin or eth through Bitcoin Suisse.

The email itself, forwarded to Trustnodes, is titled: “Buy Emaar Properties using Bitcoin and Ethereum.”

https://www.trustnodes.com/2019/02/25/emaar-confirms-email-to-agents-on-bitcoin-and-ethereum

Emaar Properties is best known for developing the tallest building in the world, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa.
In 2018 the company handed over more than 51,800 residential units across the world while more than 29,800 residences are currently under development in the UAE and over 17,500 units in other parts of the world.
Last year Emaar Properties recorded around US$7b in revenue.

This is a fresh example that trolls like r0ach are not right that virtual currencies have no application in real life. Anyway, I wonder how long it will take for each country to allow direct purchases of property with Bitcoins. I think that if Bitcoin is not officially banned in a country, than there should not be legal obstacles. Thus it remains only that the merchants give such an opportunity for the potential buyers. This raises the additional question of whether such purchases will be tax free. It is a complicated issue, but at least in my small country, if I buy directly with bitcoins some asset (for now I don't have info for such property deals), then I don't have to pay a tax. The only thing is that I should be able to prove that I am not a trader but investor in Bitcoin and the asset is for my personal needs, not for trade. (Just like with fiat currencies, which have greater value in time.) This principle of equality between fiat and Bitcoin should be in each country, I think. This is important, since everyone now pays various taxes for transferring fiat into bank accounts. In near future, everyone should be able to buy property and cars directly with Bitcoins, thus saving taxes. So the Bitcoin whales won't need to sell thousands of Bitcoins and paying millions of $'s tax. The impact on the market in the coming years may be huge.  Wink

Signatures are those things people wear at the bottom of their posts. you see them in other threads if enabled. Basically if you're posting daily on BTT you might as well get paid for it by advertising something.

Sorry to break it to you but :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5114171.0

OK, APNGs are now detected. Old ones are grandfathered for now, in part because people have ongoing campaigns, but in the future I might (or might not) go through and remove them.

As for the animated avis, I know they're annoying but that's what they want us to wear for my campaign... and I gotta admit I need/want the free BTC.

I have never wore a sig.... But I understand people that do... more so if they are actual useful contributors and not just sig spammers. I might even consider it in the future if needed the money or whatever.

That being said, this thread is sig free. Win-Win.
