What's PoW?
Proof of Witchcraft, which is very well known for its energy efficiency.
Got ya! thanks!
Bitcoin will revolutionize not only money/markets etc, but many other aspects of our life. It will bring free abundant energy possibilities soon enough.
Bitcoin is based on PoW, how can you say that?

My cube order (with the tracking number) just went into "frozen" state. Probably will be cancelled/refunded.
To add to this, I'm also having my friend in china order an antminer via taobao (They won't ship to USA). They are about $1300 USD on the taobao site. Hopefully that one goes through.

Nope, Taobao didn't work out either. I'm pretty confident now that the price for an ant is $2300 - $2800
Thanks for confirming. This is sad, but expected.
This video somewhere in the middle explains how deflation can work out just fine. It helped me to understand it much better:

So, yes, this appears to be all fraud or unreliable sellers. Not the AliExpress store, but the sellers. I have ordered 10 miners a few days ago and today I have received an email from Ali:

This looks like an even better deal http://www.aliexpress.com/item/120GH-s-Bitcoin-BTC-miner-Avalon-Miner-1module-Generation-2-55nm-Chip-bitcoin-erupter-usb-circuit/1607150182.html
What do you guys think about this offer?

Interesting. Looks cheesy.
cold storage = on a flash disk stored in a safe
This sounds a lot better than printing to paper. What if paper quality degrades and you won't be able to scan the QR...
What if the USB breaks or becomes corrupted and you lose it?
Then just like paper the whole cold storage talk is not secure as well as hot storage if one can't secure the online wallet well enough.

to all the "the list is a joke" folks: yeah, people have financial interests to have their pump and dump schemecoin high up in this list and therefore advocate for the one or the other way of handling stuff and OP surely is not neutral as you simply can't be neutral about something like alt coins but another project that also managed to provide decent information honoring everybody's pet project in a way was Prism Break. This was a short list first, containing bitcoin by the way, so yeah, it was kind of exploiting a sentiment to push an agenda but anyway, now it is an extensive list of all kind of stuff in many languages, managed via GitHub with 100 contributors and thousands of commits.
One man alone can not maintain this list but he can manage pull requests and keep trolls under control. I suggest to throw the OP into a GitHub repo and then people can suggest changes in all kinds of ways.

List on GitHub is a great idea for everyone to contribute.
The other day at the grocery store I stood next to a gentleman from Egypt that wanted to WU $200 to his family back home for Xmas.
Funny you say that. In Egypt they don't celebrate Xmas. *cough*muslims*cough*
Please don't vote If you don't own a BFL Jalapeno !
Then why putting "blank" question there?
Ordered this one for $165 -- http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014-hot-38GH-S-bitcoin-miner-speeker-ASIC-USB/1606288880.html.
Wish me luck, lol

Good luck. Let us know if you get it. The site says 6 orders. It's strangely too low. i'd expect to see more orders.
Economists are the types of pseudo-intellectuals that create mathematical models, which almost never work in the real world. Anyway, as far as my understanding goes, today we live in a debts-driven-and-debts-stimulating society, where inflation has a soothing effect. Let's say the GDP is 1 trillion, inflation is 2%, debt is 0.6 trillion, which is 60% of GDP, and economic growth is 0% then next year GDP reads 1.020 trillion and debt is still 0.6 trillion, which has magically become 'only' 58.8% of GDP. Isn't that great ?! No, it isn't, because someone needs to pay the bill, at the end of the line. Debts do exist in the real world, but they are anonymous, transformed, transferred, disguised and encapsulated within the totality of the money-system and this results in an intrinsic value of contemporary conventional currencies; each coin (real or virtual) hides this shared debt proportionally.
Now, wouldn't the world change all that if we gradually change into a debts-discouraging society driven by a deflationary currency like Bitcoin?

You have demonstrated a perfect example why many do not know how to use percentages properly. 60% - 58.8% - looks good, fooled the people, but the actual amount is what more important.
99% of the people i've met thinks inflation (in their mind CPI) is good as it makes the debts appear smaller and it is the creditors who suffer. Creditors are those who have a legal future claim on money. Hence those who lend out money as debt have a claim for that debt to be repaid in the future. What 99% do not understand is that they are also creditors, i.e. those who have insurance policies, pensions, savings.......people have a legal future claim on that money and they also suffer from inflation and not just those who lend the money out.
No, actually the 1% hold a lot of assets, which are being driven up by the debt based system. Most of the 99% own a tiny amount of assets per person in comparison. They are creditors but not in any meaningful way.
The 99% will never be able to become the 1%. This is the system. It is unfair and it has been in place for the last fifty years.
99% of people you meet liking inflation indicates you are probably working in finance, economics or government. Real people with real jobs hate inflation. Especially the millions of unemployed people in the US and Europe.
Debt is just a civilised version of slavery. Maybe we don't need debt. At least now we have a choice in an alternate monetary system called bitcoin.
Very well said!
Finally! I can reply to something! Sorry for maybe not saying all that much, but ive been banging my head against the wall as to why i couldnt reply.

I mine BTC only with a few cubes.
New to this forum. Is this a thing we have to do? Just trying to find my feet.
Don't have to. Just blend in I guess and join other conversations....
