faraday cage ? hmmm i will have to search that up !
sounds familiar.. didn't Zak use one of those on Ghost Adventures ?
and here is my BTC "extortion address" = 13SF62HQv4mQaTXv5XyeotpNeCQE5c5fZv
send me Bitcoin or i will give you all the "Spoetnik Treatment" !
anyway in all seriousness i would hope our society does not collapse that and so we could recover.
It would be pretty bad having say all power in North America Knocked out *again (it's happened before)
I'd prob want to keep as much on usb sticks etc as i could and hope the coins can live in if and when power is ever restored.
Although it could be so bad that it knocks our society back 50 or 100 years back to damn near the stone age.
We won't be rammblin' on about any Bitcoin that is for sure when a big enough CME hits us soon !
It's not me that is saying it either it's all of the worlds scientific communities and NASA and they have been telling us all along but do you listen ?
edit:
and the date of the story makes no difference..
all diesel systems are more "robust" to EMP
the US army adapted a Diesel Dirt-bike and many other pieces of hardware
the Russian Federation is very familiar with EMP, so are most other nation of the world.
this biggest risk is to transformer points of the electricity grid i think, oh also heaps of other "non essential" electronics.
Coronal mass ejections are not quite the same as an EMP i think.
Have you ever researched our history with them ?
The bottom line is it's happened 2x with major consequences in the last 100 years and we're due right now !
And with us being on the bleeding edge for front of digital currency tech i suggest we be prepared.
I didn't make this topic to troll.. i am DEAD SERIOUS here guys !
Half, Most or even ALL satellites could be wiped out instantly or with a few seconds warning tops..
almost simultaneously we would see the biggest light show in the skies any of you have seen in your life !
instead of Aurora's towards the north pole they would be hammering the living shit oft the equator.. all the way up tot he north pole !
The North American power grids have never been fixed and upgraded since this happened in the 90's stretching from Florida to Quebec.
And i doubt any other countries will fair much better.
The US military may have a bit protected fro their own use but it won't matter.. we the people do and we're not protected
and if your power is cut off we are super mega ultra fucked.. not up for debate this is a cold hard fact !
And so called digital currencies will be rendered useless !
We're ultra screwed and clock ticks i don't see any way around it.
It's going to happen and soon and that is that.. it's not up for debate LOL
If you knock out power to greater than 50% of the USA alone.. for more than a few days we are in serious trouble.
WW2 was started because of the NY stock market crash that caused a domino effect across the globe.. it's all interlinked across the globe.
Just like the 2003 release market housing crash and recession.. it effectively brought many other countries to their knee's !
Living on borrowed time and not much of it either guys.. and you can laugh all you want but no one will here you because there will be no internet.
I seen people saying on Cryptsy chat before that it was not possible to take the internet down and i think that is cute and adorable and seriously naive.
