WOOF COIN

Since the beginning of the pandemic, pet surrendering rates have increased dramatically around the world. Waitlists for surrendering household pets have increased to a remarkable eight months as animal shelters and welfare organisations have seen an increase of 34% for animals needing help.

Typically, animal shelters are under resourced and under financed; relying heavily on donations and the volunteer efforts to assist animals.

This is where Woof Coin steps in. As avid lovers of dogs, we wanted to make a difference. Using the power of Proof of Work mining, we’ve created a coin where miners are contributing to the donation of money to animal welfare shelters. These shelters initially include the ASPCA who already have a cryptocurrency donation mechanism but with intention to expand to the RSPCA and other organizations suggested by the community. 

Our aim is to put animals first and we intend on developing ongoing relationships with pet shelters to help adoption.

Love it!

It looks like madness but it isn't.

All those machines "working" all day and no work being done. Even when work is done (finding a block) it's not work work, it's virtual work.

Re: Pros and Cons of Bitcoin Node types (Full node and Prune node)

For future reference (for myself) -

I run two full nodes, if I was ever to get fed up with doing so & decided to change to prune node on one or both computers would I have to resync or download the entire blockchain from scratch?

You run two full nodes? How come and are they in the same location or one is work and one is home?

I have no intention of arguing, I'm just curious.

Re: Found 74k Bitcoin on my old machine, how i can recover ?

I remember hearing about bitcoin a long time ago, and I thought it'd never go above $1US.

I never installed Bitcoin Core, or ran any software for any crypto. I'd remember. It's hard to imagine someone would have 74k bitcoin on a machine running software and not really remember about how it got there.

Re: Question on public keys

It is still currently waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay easier to mine a block than try to find a private key with bitcoin in it. That is probably way easier than trying to reverse engineer a public key into a private key.

It's my dream, to make a new private key and find 15 million bitcoin in it.

Re: Is bitcoin truly moving forward?

So we're talking about moving forward in price right?

You can't eat it, wear it, drive it.
You can't buy/sell it to friends and neighbours in a pinch.
It's not real. World of Warcraft gold has value too.
Perceived value because it's catchy. Investors love Tesla and weed because it's fun and catchy. Look at the P/E ratio of gravel pits and lumber mills verses Tesla and Weed. Oh wait, they don't even make quarter to quarter profits, these insanely overvalued stocks. The same could be said about bitcoin. Then again, bitcoin doesn't produce anything, it's not a company. It's basically a form of gambling.

However, if there is a wagon, and you can see this wagon, you should jump on the wagon, no matter how stupid you think the wagon is.

If I want to retire to India or Sierra Leone, I can always find a scammer or a warlord who'd dump local currency for bitcoin (fun times at the transaction point), bitcoin is PERFECT.

Not sure if anyone wants to have .0001 of anything, it's not sexy. So, will bitcoin's limited supply be a "coolness" issue? I think so. That will slow growth.

To be used like a fiat, 10 minutes to confirm really sucks.

So bitcoin I feel is not really moving forward because it's a niche market, like old Louis Vuitton trunks and Porsche 911 turbos. Those go up in value too. But I see people always pushing Bitcoin as a super investment that's going to hit a million each, let's just say I've heard the same pitch from Amway. If Amway had a coin, it'd be a similar feel to Bitcoin in the real world.

At least it's on tickers now.

Re: My new 300KW minipod...

I have to check with my notes 📝 as I know we have a three phase and we have 800 amps

I don’t remember if we are 480 into 208 or some other drop down

we generally get 217 to 229 in our panels. once we break down from the 480 or what ever it is.

It's fairly common in the USA to have 480 phase to phase, and 277 from one phase to a neutral. There's usually a stepdown transformer to provide some 120/208 but then again, many things CAN run off 277/480. In commercial buildings that is.

Could be that the wire going into the breaker at the bottom wasn't snug.
