I feel old.

Can 2013'ers feel old? I secretly feel like a noob. 2011 - now that's where the beard bushes out and testicles descend to the knees.

OK, Ibian, I would say your comment was a stereotype and not hateful. Roach was spouting some hateful shit. People are entitled to believe whatever they want, this just seems like a really strange place for this conversation.
Jews own the banks, and banks are (generally believed to be) against bitcoin. It is relevant to all of our shared interest.

The relationship between the chosen people and the rest of humanity has been...complex.

It is possible to recognize the over representation of a certain ethnicity at the top of the fiat pyramid without the pathetic display of ignorant hate exemplified by the ignored one.

The history is very long, and painful for both sides, only through dialog based on fact can humanity hope to move forward on this.

The kids here don't even know that we ancients used to mine BTC with GPUs. Jeez.
I heard that Satoshi mined the first million on his abacus.

Conclusion

The SHA-256 algorithm is surprisingly simple, easy enough to do by hand. (The elliptic curve algorithm for signing Bitcoin transactions would be very painful to do by hand since it has lots of multiplication of 32-byte integers.) Doing one round of SHA-256 by hand took me 16 minutes, 45 seconds. At this rate, hashing a full Bitcoin block (128 rounds)[3] would take 1.49 days, for a hash rate of 0.67 hashes per day (although I would probably get faster with practice). In comparison, current Bitcoin mining hardware does several terahashes per second, about a quintillion times faster than my manual hashing. Needless to say, manual Bitcoin mining is not at all practical.[5]

A Reddit reader asked about my energy consumption. There's not much physical exertion, so assuming a resting metabolic rate of 1500kcal/day, manual hashing works out to almost 10 megajoules/hash. A typical energy consumption for mining hardware is 1000 megahashes/joule. So I'm less energy efficient by a factor of 10^16, or 10 quadrillion. The next question is the energy cost. A cheap source of food energy is donuts at $0.23 for 200 kcalories. Electricity here is $0.15/kilowatt-hour, which is cheaper by a factor of 6.7 - closer than I expected. Thus my energy cost per hash is about 67 quadrillion times that of mining hardware. It's clear I'm not going to make my fortune off manual mining, and I haven't even included the cost of all the paper and pencils I'll need.


Love it BobLawblaw. Particularly how you took the time to break it all down into energy consumption and efficiency.
You must be bored out of your brains to even bother working it all out. :-)

I cannot believe that a) Roach's comments were made and b) no one had been responding?

Maybe read the last pages again.


As for the rest of the tinfoil gang:

There's a reason why you're not getting laid, you know that right?
Your avatar is the very image of sexual desperation.

But beyond that, yes, there is a reason, and the reason is that women fucked the nazis. They are natural traitors, and they do not like patriots.

I have not been in this thread in a few days, but dear god, what is going on with the Jewish comments? I cannot believe that a) Roach's comments were made and b) no one had been responding? If you want to engage in hate speech against any group of people, I am pretty sure you can find a forum for it some alt-right bullshit site. Keep it to yourself and focus on the topic of the thread, for fuck's sake.

People only ever talk about the bad things Hitler did.... Why not all the GOOD stuff?
He was a vegetarian and he liked dogs and the german people.

Feel free to explain how telling the objective truth about someone is hateful. Or not, as you please.

The curious thing is that I never hear anyone deny that jews are doing all the things that people like roach say they are. It's like everyone knows it, but is afraid to say it.

fucking nazis are nazis. fuck them.  Roll Eyes

Agreed - but we are at the point that the word/descriptor Jew/Jewish can't even be used without it being immediately flagged as anti semite. This alone should be ringing alarm bells.
You can't even say something POSITIVE about the jews without being called a hater, which is what I did a few comments up. How is pointing out how successful they are in any way a bad thing? And yet people think it is, and refuse to explain why.

Plant 1xTree for each Satoshi earned!

I did some CPU mining in 2009-2010 .. but I need to find that SATA I HDD. Sad  Cry  Cry


*edit(0):  Can you imagine how many sh!theads are in the same situation?? Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  (its very funny actually, this makes me feel bullish!)

*edit(1): A rough approximation is that 2-3 million coins are already lost! Cheesy Cheesy

So you agree, then? The jews do in fact own the banks, most of the major mainstream western media and almost certainly a lot of the politicians who allegedly run our countries? If not, a firm denial of any or all of the above would be in order.

Meanwhile, Altcash has crept up to $270USD. Excellent news for those of us who continue to hold both currencies.

Hodling that alt thing is for pussies, and bordering treason. I would call it Judascoin.

You sound like a conspiracy theorist!
D'oh. Of course you do.
Sorry, ehm.

Hey, I would dump it if I could but kraken has only just enabled deposits an hour ago. But now that the option is open and price is going up, I find myself strangely sluggish in getting it done. Curious.
