Did you know ~60% of the Antarctic melts and re freezes every year? Ever heard of the Younger Dryas? Or ice/ocean/soil core samples? All this disproves your shekel grabbing scheme's premise that humans, and their pesky cars, are "killing the planet" with CO2 (“muh breath”).

The coin "fuel" drops with price increase because less people "use" it; mining and transactions. A road/automobile does the same. Less people "use" it due to cost. The model functions just as well. This is the future of the blockchain. Payments for road access + transaction fees (way better than those horrible withdrawal fees), and added taxes for "carbon pollution" and for human-piloted vehicle "licensing" and "insurance". > blame governments > for allowing the tolerance of [automobiles] > What is wrong with you eco-commie fucks. Automobiles can be anything-powered. The combustion engine was designed to run on compost alcohol with emissions that feed the trees. You can't get more environmentally friendly than that.

Aeroplane porn like you'll rarely ever see - straight from those crazy conservatives masquerading as a nation - perhaps it was Putin himself flying that Sukoi? Next up: America lodges official complaint to the World that Russia is utterly outclassing them in every f*cking way imaginable... (YouTube vid is under 6 MB, so won't knock yourself out...) ** VIDEO: Russian Su-30 Fighter Trails Cargo Plane Over Syria. Crazy Footage https://russia-insider.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=fa2faf7034c3c3c413… ------------------------------------------------------------ by RT on Thu, Dec 7, 2017 A Russian fighter jet pilot has given a whole new meaning to ‘flight inspection.’ A video apparently shot in Syria shows a Su-30SM peeking inside a military transport plane just after an airdrop, flying mere meters from the open ramp.

The Bitcoin Core mining can remain profitable using up to at least 24 TWh annually. That said, as the periodic halvings reduce awards the fees, which are already to high to make it useful for commerce, may soon make it problematic for investment. Bitcoin Cash is up to 8 times more energy efficient and Bitcoin Unlimited blockchains could be >> efficient yet. On Dec 7, 2017 12:05 PM, "g2s" <g2s(a)riseup.net> wrote: Bitcoin.

The bitcoin computer network currently uses as much electricity as Denmark.

What is consensus?

> Mirimir mirimir at wiseup.net > Fri Dec 8 09:04:06 PST 2017 > > voting is not consensus > You are incorrect, sir. Similar to 'consentire': 'con' - a variant of 'com' meaning 'with' 'sentire' - a variant of 'sēnsus' meaning 'to feel' Literally 'with sense' or 'in agreement'. To join in "agreement" is to express what is essentially a vote. Hence the term "Vote with your wallet", which I am sure many anon here do. Reminder: All art is political; everything is art. -anon

US Senate Bill S.1241 to Criminalize Concealed Ownership of Bitcoin, P2P Trading of Personal Amounts, Etc https://www.reddit.com/search?q=s.1241 https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/7iey6q/us_senate_bill_s1241_to_cr… https://hn.algolia.com/?query=s.1241 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15833440 https://www.bing.com/search?q=senate+s.1241 The entire cryptocurrency space is rightly against this one. And these slopes won't stop at just cryptocurrency, it's another whack eventually tilting back at crypto itself. Pick up the phone, write your mails, and join in the fray. Kill Bill.

What is consensus?

There is a question I would like to send to the list and get some feedback. As far as I was told, consensus is a way to reach a decision without the need of voting, so there is no majority nor minority, no one can impose their ways even if they are majority so no lobby and no forcing. Clearly, education is needed for that, so everyone understands the need of giving up a little bit in order to make it work for the common project. Lately I've been seeing consensus described as voting system, with majorities and minorities. My english is short, so maybe there is a word to describe consensus as a no-voting system to reach a common solution? Thanks E. Low -- Edward Low edwardlow(a)riseup.net Libertalia (Madagascar)
