I think you should end your life.

Why is this not reported to the authorities and his IP BANDED?!
Cyberbullying is so wrong!  What if he takes you up on it, huh?  As if supporting terrorists with your terrorcoin wasn't enough

oh shush now, that was not bullying , I was trying to help.

Because I care for you.

I love you lamb.

Love?!!  Is that what you filthy NAMBLA creepos call it?! 
Keep it to yourself, mister!

Kissy kissy... Love you lamb.

I think the mods just let this thread be. It's the trollbox of bitcointalk.

This is Adam's self-moderated thread. That's why the regular mods generally leave it alone.

If the sockpuppets start new spam threads, they're usually shut down fairly quickly.

I suggest many of you should be open to learning new things. I might be proven wrong, but for now my provided link clearly states:
- cats do not land on their feet after falling from great height.
- real data (~130 cats from NY) is available on falling cats and mortality/injury rate.
- height > 7 stories does increase survival rate based on data

"In a 1987 study, published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, of 132 cats that were brought into the New York Animal Medical Center after having fallen from buildings, it was found that the injuries per cat increased depending on the height fallen up to seven stories, but decreased above seven stories.[8] The study authors speculated that after falling five stories the cats reached terminal velocity and thereafter relaxed and spread their bodies to increase drag."

I'll probably be lurking again after this one. The forums have gone pretty rotten the last couple of years.

yeah... this is correct... but it is only correct up to a certain height, there is a sweet spot, and anything over that, and the cat gets it.

so go up to the 102 floor of the empire state building and throw the cat off, then it dies.. there is nothing that can stop the mass of the cats head from hitting the ground.

Fools! You have no perception!
The stakes we are gambling are frightenly high!
We must crush him completely
So like John before him, this Jesus must die
For the sake of the nation this Jesus must die

I would go with 8-10 stories.

I can't believe I feel the need to chime in, but I do.

Yeah.... I repeat though chuck a cat out of the top floor of the empire state, and I would bet my bottom dollar, that the cat will be dead as fuck when it is reunited with the ground.

There is a safety net a bit down from the top to prevent people from killing themselves. Your kitty will land there and come back up to cut you up.

"Terminal velocity" is the maximum velocity of a body as it falls through air.   Mathematically, the velocity at ground increases with the starting height, but beyond a certain height the increase is negligible.

The article says that (1) the terminal velocity for a cat is 100 km/h and (2) that velocity is pretty much attained when falling from 5-6 stories.  One of these must be wrong, since a cat falling from 18 meters (6 generous stories) in vacuum would hit the ground at ~70 km/h only.

I would go with 8-10 stories.

A veterinarians's paper cited in that WP article says:

Kapatkin and Matthiesen (1991) suggest that the type of injury depends upon the height of the fall and the landing surface. The severity of injuries rises linearly up to the seventh storey. After that height, the severity of injuries does not rise and and the incidence of fractures decreases. Of 22 cats that fell more than seven stories only one died, and among 13 cats that fell more than nine stories only one fracture was diagnosed. One cat that fell 32 stories suffered only mild pneumothorax and a chipped tooth (Whitney and Mehlhaff, 1987). 

Robinson (1976)stated that the maximum recorded heights for survival were 18 stories on to a hard surface, 20 stories on to shrubbery, and 28 stories on to awning

So there seems to be some reason to think that cats reach terminal velocity at relatively low height (8-10 stories); that the terminal velocity is quite a bit less than 100 km/h, perhaps half of that; and that a cat could indeed survive a fall from the Empire State Building (if it does not die of boredom along the way  )

What about the endless "to the moon! buy!" posts before crashes? should those be considered "SPAM FUD" too?

FUD is an acronym for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.

Promoting something in a positive way doesn't produce fear, uncertainty nor doubt.

Disparaging it in a negative way does.

Troll fail. Try again.

Yeah man, dem furballs do not pull punches  

A more pertinent question would be how big of a splat would Lamb make? if say one were to drop a cat off the top of the empire state onto Lamb on the ground... did I mention the cat is made of lead?

Nah, a golden cat. Bought with bitcoin. Dressed with dollar bills.
It would be poetic.
