And I can confirm this is totally legit. Sent four 3 month codes, all four worked without issue.

I'll bite. If I currently use a credit card to pay for my sub, do I just cancel the sub and then use the code?

bump. Are you already no longer looking?

From my experience, and I've had it installed almost a week now, the app itself doesn't appear to have any malware. There could be malware in some of the offers though...
I never got my reward from installing a couple bulls**t apps though so I really don't know. I haven't opened my blockchain wallet on this device either.

Clicking one of the faucets takes you to a webpage in an external browser (in my case, Chrome) which gives you a list of options to choose from to receive xxxxx Satoshis. I tried a couple which were "Install and run" and they never worked. Do I need to run these apps for X amount of minutes or something?

I can't seem to get it to work. I installed some apps which were only required to download and run and I never got any satoshis. Maybe I'm missing something?

ygpm.

What about electricity generated from exhaust heat? Someone needs to design a peltier exhaust pipe.

Yes, he is saying that there could be a short in the cable, but it could also be on the HEX 16b board. Just wondering, does the problem also occur when your HEX 16b isn't plugged in to it's power supply?
I personally find it a little odd that a USB cable would be defective in such a way that it would cross 5v and ground. The PWR and GND wires are on opposite ends, but I suppose anything is possible.

Great questions. I'll try to answer them the best I can. Apologies if it's too long, I'd rather be too thorough than lack something important.

1. Yes, these are all different.
iRacing.com obviously lacks many real-world elements of racing including lateral g-forces, peripheral vision, heat, damage costs, and possibly pain, etc.
Go-kart racing is also much different than short track stock car racing, it is more similar to road racing and has ridiculously different handling characteristics, yes.

2. I would prefer to stay in Compact or Street Stock classes.

The "Compact" class consists of USA domestic compact cars, usually 1995-2005 Chevy Cavalier or early 90's Beretta. The local track allows 4cyl only for this class, both single and dual cam, stock suspension and wheel spacers. Every 110-120hp single cam Cavalier and Beretta are usually blown away by 2-4 top cars with 140/150 HP Ecotec / "Quad 4" engines. These cars, turn key, will range around here anywhere between $1500 and $3200. A Neon or two are floating around the area too which should be competitive if the gearing is right. I know a mid 90's Neon which ran last year was banging off the rev limiter half way down the straightaways. The top guys with DOHC are also running wheel spacers on the front and rear to widen stance and reduce roll which might be a little tricky to figure out what helps.

The Street Stock class consist primarily of mid 80's Chevy Monte Carlo and Oldsmobile Cutlass. They are required to run a Chevy 305 small block or GM "602" Crate Engine purchased and sealed by the track. All of the 602 engines costs $3200 and must be purchased and sealed by the track. This is an extremely competitive class with a couple of cars being a bit faster than the rest, though those cars have done some questionable things with the front skirt clearance to enhance front downforce as they seal up on the track.

Both classes usually have fields of 12-18+ cars each week. I think finishing 5-8th would be doable in a decent car, but winning with no experience might be a stretch. I do very well in iRacing though, in the past mostly running virtual Street Stocks, Super Late Models, Legend Cars and NASCAR Truck Nationwide and Cup Series, all with open setups which I developed myself, both coil-bind and conventional on the stock cars. I've raced mostly top splits (top groups) in races and once I have my setup dialed in I'm competitive for the win there or only a couple tenths off at most from the absolute fastest guys. I think I could figure it out at my local short track, too, though I know it is much different.

3. Circle track, 3/10th mile asphalt, 8 degree banking. What you would typically think of in America as "Saturday Night Short Track Racing"...

4. I'm not a car guru or welder by any means, but I'm stupid enough to say "I can figure it out". I understand the basic workings of suspension and chassis setups. I have a friend who drove a compact two years ago who could help me out, and I know that he spent many long nights in seasons past helping to work with his "dad" (non-related mentor) on the second fastest Street Stock at the racetrack. So in that way, I sort of "know a guy who knows a guy"...by no means do I really have relationships with other teams or those who would be willing to help me out, "yet".

I'm a bit of a night owl and I don't play video games or watch TV much like most my age do, so I'd be able to put at least 4-6 hours into the car on a given week if I needed to.

5. There is a shop down the street that might help me some. Obviously I would have to ask him what he thought of it, I haven't done that yet. His rates are pretty cheap for simple things like alignments and tire installation / rotation. It's hard to say what he would charge me for actually repairing something.

6. That's a good question. At first, I would probably just show up at the track. The track does not advertise outside of local newspapers and possibly their local TV station. For me to promote my "race team", I'd probably need to gain some credibility at the track. Consistent finishes are important. The current Compact class points leader is BY FAR lacking the fastest car. I believe a couple of the really faster guys skip a couple races during the season.

7. $6000-8000 would buy a nice Street Stock or maybe a 10th place Asphalt Modified (15-18 usually show up). The track runs "Economy Modifieds" with the GM 602 crate motor, somewhat similar to the SK Modified rules but with slower with tighter / different rules.

8. Midvale Speedway. As I said, they don't advertise heavily, but they are one of the few short tracks in Eastern Ohio that draws a good crowd. I'm about an hour out from the speedway. The one in my own town closed down.

9. Yes, I wouldn't want to go out there and finish last with the bitcoin logo all over my car. I know how simple subliminal cues such as my car finishing poorly could somehow turn people away from the idea of bitcoin and cryptocurrency or make them feel uninterested. But I want to win, or at least do well. Most of the time, at least a couple top 5 drivers get an interview after each feature (~20 lap) event, and that is my goal.

10. I can't quite promise 5th up but I can promise effort, consistency, and that I'll try to take care of my equipment. Since I am here somewhat begging, I obviously couldn't afford to completely total the race car. Of course, if I'm sailing down into turn 1 and break a right front ball joint or wheel bearing, there's probably not much I can do in that scenario.

This might not be taken seriously but I figured I'd throw the idea out there.
It's always been my dream to get into racing, and I do race competitive simulation racing online with good success (Top 5 ~35% against other top racers) @ iRacing.com, and recently ran extremely competitive times in rental 390cc Go-Karts at GoPro Motorplex in Mooresville, NC.

Since I am a bit of a newcomer to actual physical racing, I'd probably be best off buying a turn key 4cyl race-ready "compact" car. These are typically 1990-2005 MY Chevrolet Cavalier, Dodge Neon and etc. The interiors and glass are stripped out, and a roll bar welded and racing seat are put in.

Unfortunately, I am a student, I have very little family support, and don't have quite the money to purchase one as they run in the $2000-3000 range, and I would also need to buy safety equipment and a trailer, with at least $600 reserve for racing tires and possible repairs.

This car class runs almost every week in the schedule at my local race track and the track consistently draws crowds of 2,500 to 4,000.

If I could secure around 6-8 BTC, I would be able to purchase a race car and hauling trailer as well as helmet, neck restraint and etc and have reserve money for any issues that may arise. We already have a truck that would be capable of towing the car.

I would paint the race-ready car matte black and apply the minimalist orange "bitcoin logo" as a vinyl sticker to the hood and the "logo with text" to each rear quarter panel as seen here:

Would you be interested in helping to fund my race car and gift me my dream? Is this a good/cool idea? Let me know what you think.
If someone rich in bitcoins would happen to generously throw me 8 BTC, I'd be on track with the car fully "bitcoin sponsored" in only a couple weeks provided I can find a car.
I intend to get the decals for the car printed on vinyl at carstickers.com.

Don't you know you're supposed to BYOPCB? Bring your own PCB.

Overstock takes BTC through Coinbase.

Yes and each block is worth $100 in itself.

Feel free to make an offer on my Nikon D5100. I'd be happy to sell the body and kit lens for the right price. Its in good shape, might have a little dust on the sensor. Not sure how many actuations (probably approaching 100,000) but it's been a good camera to me.

I hear even searching a plane in the sea is hard.

I'm not surprised at all considering instead of sending out Baby Jets to Batch 1 buyers that paid with BTC, they seemed to instead give refund checks in USD before buyers even requested, while moving USD orders up in the shipping queue and shipping them actual products.

Which version is this?

We accept..." ...Bit Coins"

Don't you think that .000003% of work total is not very much?
Pools do not pay out unless you meet a certain balance. Usually you can set this balance in your account settings, but only within the pool's specified limits.
ex. (BTC0.01 - BTC10)

I really doubt you've made BTC.01 yet...
Also, in the pool, balances could probably be rounded.

If the pool makes BTC1 over a period of time, and you do .000003% of the work, you'd have BTC.000003. In USD, that's $0.0018.

So for every $650 the pool is making, you will make about 2/10ths of a penny at that rate.

Do think you're important?
Why are you really upset about Blockchain?
You should have wallet backups. Bitcoin Core, MultiBit wallets are not hard to use, Android Bitcoin wallet is nice as well.

I don't see the issue here other than a free service you shouldn't depend on for more than pure convenience is experiencing some downtime. Blockchain.info is not a Bitcoin Bank.
