does anyone know what the deal is with this? was it hacked or something or can anyone post on there with any name?

I think Adam could get back into his account if he took the time to do it. Maybe if a few of us went over there and gave him a poke, he'd put up with the hassle.

According to another post of his, he no longer has access to the email account he used when signing up to bitcointalk. And therefore cannot retrieve emails pertaining to password resets.

well i miss those old guise. glad you're still around molecular.

this is some serious old school moonage we got going on here.

At least NLC is gone too...for now (or is s/he?)

Was too busy trolling Reddit as Mistaik.

I know that this forum can be a bit difficult in some of its policies to attempt to reactivate an account, but it seems quite likely that Adam, if he wanted, would be able to figure out a way to convince them that he is the real Adam and to show some kinds of proof (to their satisfaction) that he is the "real one" rather than some Adam nutjob (said with endearment) wannabe.... hahahahaha.

The main point seems to be that the actual adam seems to be quite disinclined to go through the motions, at this particular moment.

Many of us would like to have Adam back in order to "make this thread great again"

Yes, by my rough calculations we would be at $850 if you stuck with whatever it was that you were doing before you found this forum. Now we won't reach 88 miles per hour during the next halving and we won't win the chocolate factory. GOOD DAY SIR!

I can't really discern any addressable question in your missive.

The article is a typical sarcastic crypto skepticism hit-piece, form the person rumored by some to be NLC. Are you expecting actionable content?

[European Central Bank]

nope. i've no idea how that site works. can any old crazy person post on there? i assumed because it was the ft they'd curate their content but maybe not. or it might not even by the ft. i dunno.

Ah - got it. Yes, generally FT is a reputable news source - at least as far as mainstream news sources go. Yet Kaminsky writes under their banner from time to time.

I don't get it either. Maybe the editors have such little understanding of the uppity new thing called fintech that they don't know how much (or how little) value appears under their masthead?

Good News Everyone!

The chinese miners are finally starting to accept the problem of miner centralization:

Thx to klee for the heads-up.

i'd guess that a busy and successful full time journo has better things to do than spend 14-18 hours a day posting junk on here literally for years on end. maybe i'm too trusting.

Not to rain on the parade, but.... history is littered with the countless startups, LLCs, and "letters of intent" businesses that John Mcafee has said he would get off the ground, and nothing ever became of them because no one would ever invest real money with him (likely because he is bipolar, paranoid, and crazy).

For some reason though, for all his craziness, I still like the guy and his "F--- the Man!" attitude.

This news is around for quite some time now.
And I'm not convinced that this mining project will be successful.
Maybe it is due to Mcafee's past, I don't know. But I can not really take this guy serious.
Would be nice if he proves me wrong.But I doubt it.

[.m.]

I am full of doubts regarding this mining project as well, while enjoying the price going up in the meantime

how about this for something a little more concrete?

I love how many bitcoin detractors wanna talk about how wasteful bitcoin mining is from an energy standpoint. But how wasteful is home artificial outdoor lighting each year in just the U.S. alone?

http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/responsible-living/stories/why-dark-skies-matter?utm_source=CNN&utm_medium=Desktop&utm_campaign=Oct2016

Some quotes:

"The federally funded National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) estimates that "poorly aimed and unshielded" outdoor lights waste more than 17 billion kilowatt-hours of energy each year in the U.S."

"The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that 13 percent of home electricity usage goes toward outdoor lighting. More than one-third of that light is lost to skyglow — the artificial brightness of the night sky — resulting in about $3 billion wasted per year."
So about $10 Billion wasted per year in home outdoor lighting. That doesn't even include commercial and utility outdoor lighting, lol.

Anyone notice that the majority of volume on Huobi is made up of trades in the amount of 420 BTC?
