Masternodes, masternodes, and more masternodes.

The important thing is to spend as much money as you can before launch - unless you just don't like getting rich.

I'm already in the altcoin business, and it's more full of shit than a pigeon coop

Is there a pigeontalkcoin yet?

There was, but we relaunched and rebranded it under the name COOP,
with a more aerodynamic logo which will have a broader mass-market appeal in the payments industry.
We're already in talks with a bank in Lichtenstein to adopt the COOP-GO! debit card

Did we get Roger Ver to invest? What's my cut of the instamine? Is there a masternode system we should be aware of? Is it going to be listed on Cryptsy?

I have so many questions!

Why do pigeons bob their heads?

The pigeon has side-mounted eyes, unlike humans and owls which have forward facing eyes. As pigeons have monocular vision rather than binocular vision they bob their heads for depth of perception. The pigeon’s eyes function much better with stationary images and therefore as the pigeon takes a step forward the head is temporarily left behind. The next step jerks the head forward again and so on. This allows the bird to correctly orient itself.

There was actually a scientific study which put chickens on treadmills.

When they walked on the treadmills their environment did not move with each step, so they did not bob their heads.

If you can find a video of a pigeon on a treadmill I'll arrange some kind of reward system. Maybe we can premine PigeonTalkCoin.

Well if that pigeon is the Pope under which your cardinal serves, then it's allowed.

I knew you were going to say that!

You'd make a good moderator.

I like to watch birds - such as pigeons - and notice how much faster their movements are compared to us.

People think pigeons move their heads with jerky stop-and-start motions, but to the bird it's probably just casually turning its head and looking around.

We live longer, but our lives move much more slowly (compared to a small animal such as a pigeon). So maybe we have the same length of lifespan, adjusted for speed.

The tortoises live for 200 years on the Galapagos islands (which are the home to 3 species of pigeon). The tortoise seems much slower than us - and slower than a pigeon - but its slower metabolism lets it live longer.

2. This is a pigeon advocate website.

It's exactly the same principle you were just talking about. The point is that pigeons on treadmills wouldn't bob their heads either.

OK. I've reconsidered my position. I'll allow it.

Funny -- I read your username as "Birdcorn" for a second there. So there's a forum out there to discuss pigeon rights. That's amusing.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour
A Robin Red breast in a Cage
Puts all Heaven in a Rage
A Dove house fill'd with Doves & Pigeons
Shudders Hell thr' all its regions...

I knew a guy who walked around with cockatiels on his shoulders. Oooo! The stains on his shirts. The pigeons stayed on the floor because they were to big for his shoulders, luckily.

What was really funny, however, was when his girlfriend was walking barefoot around the house.
