Seems it may be quite simple;

http://diymaketech.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/how-to-make-portable-emp-proof-container.html

Now we just need to brand some metal cases "EMP-proof Cryptovault" and bring on the monies.

In a world without electronics, even gold would become a worthless commodity.

I'm stocking up on tinned beans. Currency of the future.

Really ? why would gold be worthless ?
I always assumed it would be the go to currency when fiat fails..

If we're talking just about fiat collapsing, yes, gold would be the go-to currency. If governments fall or there's complete social breakdown, there's going to be anarchy and rioting. There won't be any markets for gold, unless there's some general consensus that gold is a valuable bartering commodity. I think people will be more interested in trading goods directly.

I'd focus on having the things needed to survive. If gold becomes bartering currency, at least I have something valuable to barter with, than if gold were worthless, and I've just got pockets full of useless metal.

We could get hit by an asteroid tomorrow. This is a real possibility look it up.

But don't worry this threat has been attacking the earth from the dawn of time



Be prepared for any loss of data I have been told regardless of an emp, solar flare, etc etc




dont worry about your coins and the reliance on electricity,

1) all currency runs on electricity and will be hurt to some degree if this happens

2) electricity (and/or alternate energy sources) is the new mining source, instead of a gold mines you have data mining - relying on electricity as the source/mine






your delusional and living in a false sense of security and your going to be running around in circles crying and
panicking caught flat footed because you were too ignorant to even psychologically entertain
the possibilities in a rational and fair and honest way.. i pity you to be honest.

you ignore the obvious.. I JUST told you the scientists of earth prob rank this is as top threat off all !
A super Volcano for example could go off but they estimate that it won't happen as soon as a CME based on scientific probability.. AKA: MATH
You deny the math is wrong ? well sorry you can't LOL
Feel free to try though..

Seriously we need to flush the toilet on humans.. most of you out there are too stupid and selfish to live on my earth.
With out getting people concerned about real threats then we have no way of stopping them.

And we need everyone on-board or any attempt to save our race is and always will be doomed.
Life revolves around cocky douche bags sitting at home watching HD TV and getting cocky about Science and Math and spouting off on the internet
while the the planet scientists are wrong..  Roll Eyes
and it's pathetic beyond comprehension when you can't accept reality and even worse that
entertaining the idea costs so little to you, but instead you guys have to argue and insult guys who want to watch out for our earth.

Humanity is doomed and extinct already because there is a majority of guys out there that have this cocky selfish attitude.

Nasa just announced that they estimate in anew study that the Chelyabinsk meteor that his Russia was a common occurrence.
and that about 14 of those hit our planet a year and then break up in the atmosphere and they said they had no idea.. This news is 1 week old.
But i am glad internet experts know more than Nasa and already have all of the universe figured out  Roll Eyes
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/9874662/Russian-meteor-exploded-with-force-of-30-Hiroshima-bombs.html

I remember that day and how comet ISON was the big story and had JUST passed us.. and then they said had popped out from behind the sun and hit us
a lot of people found it coincidental but our eyes were focused looking right but we got a punch in the head from the left..

@mymenace
Everything you said is a load of stupid bullshit !

No shit that is not what i was talking about for one thing second of all we DO get plowed by them so whats your point ?
That we get warnings and they never come ? LOL ..wait till Comet Apophis makes you piss your little pants smart ass AHAhahah
And we have highlighted that the risk assessment is far greater on CME than pother commonly talked about threats.. so again WTF are you on about ?

Quote

Oh really ?

uhh No LOL

DO be worried be VERY worried !
Why because we're dumb !
Instead of improving things we make things worse more and more.. by relying on NOT JUST electricity but Satellites.

Interesting topic. You mention this happened in NY previously. When?

Would this plasma cloud affect the globe or just the sections facing the sun at the time?

Wouldn't a coin be revived as soon as 1 person ran the client again and started to mine?
Then again, after such a storm there would be a rush among people to start their clients. In such a scenario that is.

From my understanding, wouldn't it take at least two nodes?

Yeah anythings possible, but I consider EMP to be higher threat than asteroid.

Remember nuke weapons aren't a conspiracy theory, thousands have been built and are being mantained, some old bastard warhawk may want to see a good show before they pop their clogs, you never know how it may start.

Also remember that EMPs don't mean MAD (Mutually assured destruction).

EMPs will be the first nuclear weapon flavors to be exchanged and could well decide the victor before the higher yield ground nukes were lit.

Just one "Starfish Prime" like HEMP device would fry almost all unprotected modern microelectronics in the united states.

Modern circuits, IC circuits with junctions widths in the tens of nm range are very static sensitive, back then (1962) semiconductors were big chunks of silicon in metal cans, like comparing a boulder to a microscope slide with regards strength.

Quote
Starfish Prime made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 1,445 kilometres (898 mi) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights, setting off numerous burglar alarms and damaging a microwave link.[8]

...

Newer calculations showed that if the Starfish Prime warhead had been detonated over the northern continental United States, the magnitude of the EMP would have been much larger (22 to 30 kv/m) because of the greater strength of the Earth's magnetic field over the United States, as well as its different orientation at high latitudes. These new calculations, combined with the accelerating reliance on EMP-sensitive microelectronics, heightened awareness that EMP could be a significant problem.

...after such a storm there would be a rush among people to start their clients...

The rush for many would finish when they hit their system on switch to find a blank screen.

The only way to make an EMP proof system/miner would be to have a good Farraday box with multi layer gauze air intake/exhaust.

Data line can be a thin fiber optic, no problem.

Power feed would need some consideration:

You could have a small fuel driven generator within the box, and if you had a 15 minute warning then you could unplug the box from the mains and put it on generator power.

You could even feed grid power in without exposing system to EM risk: using an electric motor that drives a generator, the mechanical coupling having a plastic section in it.

Think how smug you would be to have the only running system on your block! Shame the net would be down for for quite a while after though so you couldn't troll around forums with other leet protected nerds Cheesy

I agree that from a "risk assesment" perspective then large EM event could devestate bitcoin, wiping out alot of coin, only cold wallets saved.

So even if the chances of it happening are small, it is still a large risk because the ramifications are so high.

But seriously, what could be done to protect against it?

All that we could possibly do is minimise coin loss by having everyone physically store their private key data, this would maximise recovery attempts after EMP.

If only a few people had large cold wallets then their value would drop to near zero after EMP even if the network was re-established, because not enough people hold coin anymore.

Spoetnik you big retard, how boring this community will be without you.

do you seriously and honestly think the threat is nothing to worry about ?
wow .
why do you think NASA mentions this all the time ? Flat out your screwed they say ?

When you call me a retard for saying this your calling the entire worlds scientists and NASA and other Space Agencies etc RETARDS !
Who in gods name do you think i heard this from in the first place ?

I think humanity is doomed and it's because of people like you who refuse to take serious problems seriously
because it threatens your comfort zone or something..

I love saying i told you so and i get to do it lot but when it's this big of a problem i just feel sorry for people :/

Priorities..
It's a well known fact that since the last time this ALREADY happened and knocked out a massive chunk of the power grid
nothing has been done to protect the system in place.. and with NASA saying for 10 or 20 straight year or something
that that it's a matter of "when" not "if" then what guys ? Are you gambling that it's unlikely to happen anytime soon ?
It's so remote of a possibility it's not even worth looking at improving the North American electrical grid ?
You want to know what "Retarded" is  Caesar V ?
Knowing about a threat that could decimate our society and doing nothing to even warn people never mind making plans to improve the situation..
Retard is calling the guy warning you a retard when one could hit us right now !

If most of North America losses it's satellites and power grid we're screwed from an infrastructure stand point and this is not retard talk this is a fact.
If the power isn't put back on i estimate by the time the shelves are emptied in ransacked super markets we're ultra fucked !
There is too many people to start hunting for deer in the woods or something.

And hey let's not do anything about it and better yet lets not even talk about it and even better if anyone does lets call them a retard !
and hey EVEN better yet lets make endless new digital currencies 1,000's of them that all rely on electricity to function..
pure brilliance  Roll Eyes
