One question I had but was not answered by the FAQ is whether the London Mainnet updates will require updates to Beacon / validator implementations. Apologies if the answer is obvious to everyone else, but is is not obvious to me.

An important aspect of this is that it is located in Singapore. Singapore is a heavily regulated sandbox in many, many areas. And it is small. For example, there is only a single companies registry and only a single tax authority. And S

Are you saying that trading on market sentiment is an invalid trading strategy?

I am with you brother. If there is an argument for bitcoin, this is it. Large banks that impose their own priorities over that of their customers.

I got a little from the Bitcoin Faucet too. The wallet is long since lost...let alone the password.

This sounds both interesting and audacious. I'm nearing retirement and considering various options for what to do next. Could you explain how you earn $$ from 'social presence'? I'm a personable guy, but I don't

I was just in Singapore for the past few days, after living there for several years. It really is awful this year. The haze did make the laser show from the top of the Marina Sands really spectacular. ;-)

It is a fantastic automobile and a great video from Jay Leno, whom we all owe a debt of gratitude for preserving our technological legacy, similarly to Bill Harrah from a generation earlier. Imagine what a Doble could be with a few processo

Thank you for pointing that out. It was interesting reading. I was hoping that someone in this community would know someone in indegogo responsible enough to say wait a minute, this is not plausible. I took a look at indegogo's terms

Well I never took the PE exam, and it is a couple of decades since my undergrad and graduate engineering degrees that included a couple of courses in thermo, so things are a little rusty, but prodded by a few of these posts I've just d

Well now I guess I have to do the math: W = P(b)V(b) ln(P(a)/P(b)) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_air_energy_storage ) CPAP requires roughly 10 cm of water pressure = 0.01 Bar Sea level atmospheric press

Couldn't agree with your reply more. Re the flappy fan, I know I've read sometime in the past couple of years about a design that was trying to replace rotary fans, and it was piezoelectric in nature. I found a few but none that

..and if you've used a CPAP you know that it actually assists you quite a bit--it partially moves your chest for you, which is a quite substantial mass.

Well it has been a few years from when I took my Thermo course, and yes the proper way to do this is to compute the work required for compression. I'd invite this thread to do a proper job with the math. And if you've used a CPAP

I don't follow your logic at all. And you do not escape the fact that the device has got to move almost 3 kg of mass with about 1 watt.

The doctors looked suspiciously like models. I tried google image searching them but I think the oval surrounds threw it off. I'd bet they are fake as well.

Recent events in the Silk Road criminal trials suggest that governments have the ability to trace BTC transactions to a useful degree--witness the guilty pleas of two former federal law enforcement personnel for enriching themselves via ext

Some think the modest rise in bitcoin prices is a consequence of the Greek difficulties. For example: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/16/us-eurozone-greece...

It is interesting to speculate how the climate in Greece might be different if bitcoin had been more widely adopted there prior to this meltdown. No central control. No banks to close. It is something that Greek officials joke about: htt

It is interesting to think about the motivation of the Greek elected officials. To me it looks like they are trying to avoid the responsibility of making a painful decision. It also appears quite likely that the Greek citizens will vote a
