OK-
Sorry to keep this short but I don't have time to elaborate.
Basically the story in summary goes like this-
My brother speeding goes over a rise on a bridge and hits a puddle on the otherside, he aqua planes killing the two other occupants and ejecting him through the front window. He is kept alive on the side of the road with CPR until an ambulance arrives. He is taken to ICW and put on life support in a coma. It wasn't looking good for him and the doctors told us he probably wont make it. But here is where it gets interesting....
As he was a DONOR A on his licence he was already being assessed for suitability as an organ donar as his injuries were mostly head trauma. He wasn't even fucking dead yet. As the COMA went on the staff at the hospital put pressure on our family to cut off the life support, that he could help save the life of others. They said he was basically Brain Dead with no hope of recovery.... So the coma went on for about 3 months with increasing pressure to end his life support.
Thing is..... He is awake and alive today, he has slight brain damage but is highly functional.
I think it is OK to share your wishes to be a DONOR with your family but I don't advocate people signing it for there license. Things may have changed now but I will never sign my organs away. My family can donate them if they wish but I won't be putting it on legal documents.
Sorry to neg this thread it just brought up some memories....

At this stage the book is Sold.
Thanks all that was quick as expected.
I also have two of Trouts releases if anyone is interested?

Hi Guys,
It will not sell in the next week. I will put the Buy Now price up on Ebay and I will give you guys first option after a week if I can't fetch a higher price

Hello,
Here is a rare chance to own an original copy of Snu Voogelbreinder's "Garden of Eden". I Need to raise funds for a project Im working on and unfortunately the book has to go. I'm hoping it will go to someone who will appreciate it for the work of art that it is. I have barely used the book and it has not been opened or read to much. Sadly there is a small dent on the Hard Cover from when it was originally posted to me. Other then that the book is in perfect condition, its binding is all still in perfect condition and the pages sit flush. Most of you know how rare and amazing this book is and opportunities like this don't come around often.
I will be listing the Item on Ebay for 10 days but to be honest I would rather sell it to someone on here where it will benefit the local community.
The BUY NOW price on EBay is $450 please contact me if you are interested. I am open to negotiation and trades.

Chicken Drumstick Cassarole (Paleo)
Grandma Style Recipe. A Nice Hearty Simple meal that has no processed or packaged ingredients. It requires no salt with the holy trinity of meal bases, Carrot , Celery and Onion. It is so very simple to prepare. Its easy to adjust to suit 2 to 20 people. I have left the amounts of most ingredients out, as there is a fair bit of room here to alter as it suits. You can add a touch of chili if you like a stronger taste. If you leave the Garlic and Parmesen out pretty sure this qualifies as Paleo
Chicken Drumsticks (8?)
Tomatoes Diced
Onion Diced
Carrots Diced
Celery Diced
Garlic
Chick Peas
White Wine
Basil Bunch
Olive Oil
Pre Heated Oven 180'C
Square Baking Tray
Frypan Medium Heat
Saucepan Medium Heat
In a large saucepan cook the onions and garlic for 1 min.
Add Carrots and Celery and cook for 5 mins.
Add Chickpeas and Let Simmer
Whilst the Sauce is cooking place Drumsticks into frypan and cook until Browned with skin on.
Once Cooked place in Baking Tray.
To the Sauce add diced tomatoes and cook for 3 mins on medium to high heat.
Add Basil Roughly Chopped Cook for 1 min.
Add White Wine until thin saucy texture, Bring to Boil.
Simmer until nice cassarole consistency.
Pour Sauce Over the Drumsticks.
Cover Tray with Foil or Lid and place in Oven 180'C for Approx 20-30Mins.
Serve in A bowl with Grated Parmesen,

Even with 100% difficulty increase its still very viable at todays trade value.

Word of warning on Butterfly Labs: their support sucks balls. They have a single email address for their entire company regardless of the enquiry. ie. they don't want to know that the hardware they've shipped after you waited 7 months is faulty.
So that Monarch card you've had your eye on - is more likely to be only 500GH...
I heard they are dodgy. To be honest I am using them as an example, out of interest, why would the card only output 500?
-
The numbers for Solar Mining do not add up unfortunately. However the ASIC mining cards can output a very high GH/s for very low power consumption. The only problem is getting a hold of one. Bitcoins are currently at half of there total production. How high can the difficulty grow within the set time period, and is there a corrolation between the computation difficulty and the trade value of Bitcoins. I would imagine they are both linked through demand, and perhaps availability of equipment.
-
ASICs have a HUGE lead time. Order now and you'll be lucky to get it in 6 months. By then, the difficulty would have increased by a shitload.
True, thats why I thought cloud mining would help eleviate that problem. You would have to make sure timelines are structured into your mining contract. As far as difficulty increases, there is a chart that shows the percentage increases over time. The next increase is expected to be about 9 or so %. You could predict the increase in difficulty and factor in worse case scenarios. Thats my next plan.

Something Has to give here. Butterfly Labs offer Cloud Based Bitcoin Mining at $10.83 - 1 GH/s. If you were to compound the earnings back into more GH/s you would see the income start to grow at what appears to be an unsustainable level. With half of all bitcoins already in exsistence, if demand remained constant we should only see a 50% reduction in bitcoin trade price should the other half be mined overnight. All the Bitcoin hardware seems to be sold out in a multi million dollar digital gold rush. As the saying went, the best money to be made in a gold rush is selling shovels!. So what is the risk and the downside? Here is some scenarios to consider-
$1083 Invested in 100 GH/s then Compounded for 6 Months- (@ Current BC Trade Price of 797.98 USD)
Buy In - $1083 for 100 GH/s
https://products.butterflylabs.com/homepage-new-products/1-gh-cloud-hosted-bitcoin-hashing-power.html
Month 1 - 100 GH/s = $2460.52 / $10.83
Month 2 - 227 GH/s = $5585.39
Month 3 - 515 GH/s = $12671.70
Month 4 - 1170 GH/s = $28788.13
Month 5 - 2658 GH/s = $65400.73
Month 6 - 6038 GH/s = $148566.44TOTAL PROFIT $147484.44 (Plus 6038 GH/s 6 months 50% = $30190)
The above scenario is the best case, I can't see the difficulty increasing to much over the 9 month period (15% maybe) and with more and more merchants accepting bitcoins it may very well go up before it goes down. I will run some more numbers and include difficulty increases I just wanted to get a basic idea on paper to see how it looks. Verdit - Very Fucking Tasty!
$1083 Invested in 100 GH/s then Compounded till Break Even- ( After a Crash BC Trading @ $100 USD)
Buy In - $1083 for 100 GH/s
Month 1 - 100 GH/s = $246
Month 2 - 122 GH/s = $300
Month 3 - 149 GH/s = $366
Month 4 - 182 GH/s = $447
Month 5 - 223 GH/s = $548
Month 6 - 273 GH/s = $672
Month 7 - 335 GH/s = $824
Month 8 - 411 GH/s = $1011
Month 9 - 504 GH/s = $1240
9 Months for $157 Profit and 504 GH/s for the next 3 months, and then it would drop by the rate it increased monthly untill your contracts expire considering you stopped compounding at the breakeven spot.... Like this
Month 10 - 504 GH/s
Month 11 - 504 GH/s
Month 12 - 504 GH/s
Month 14 - 404 GH/s
Month 15 - 382 GH/s
Month 16 - 355 GH/s
Month 17 - 322 GH/s
Month 18 - 281 GH/s
Month 19 - 231 GH/s
Month 20 - 169 GH/s
Month 21 - 93 GH/s (CONTRACT EXPIRE)
In this scenario you would have $9072 in your account after 21 months if the bitcoin value remained at a mere $100 and the difficulty did not increase. Currently they are trading for $850 AUD. Virgin just started excepting Bitcoins as payment for some of its services so chances are it will go up before it goes down!
There are so many ways you can look at this. What I am failing to understand is the effect a rush will have on computaional difficulty. If a huge surge in bitcoin miners suddenly got involved what figures and by how much would this effect the viability of mining. With Cloud mining it seems to be a bit easier to manage. The maths on the above is very very rough and If anyone would like to correct me that would be awesome, its very interesting I just wonder for how long this can keep going.
NOTES:
http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/
Extrapolating bitcoin difficulty or price is pure voodoo. It is much easier to predict the relationship of the two parameters in form of the Mining Factor. The Mining Factor 100 is the value in USD of the bitcoins you can generate if you let a 100MHash/s miner run for 24 hours. If the Mining Factor 100 rises above $2 or so everybody buys mining equipment and thus increases difficulty. If it falls people will stop mining eventually. The estimate starts with the current Mining Factor and decreases it exponentially such that the decrease accounts for the factor decline per year. Please note that a profit/loss by holding the coins is not accounted for in this estimate.

I think that's already a thing. A series of mirrors track the sun and focus the light onto a single boiler, there has been a prototype in Australia somewhere for many years.
We have two Solar Thermal Plants at the CSIRO site in Newcastle.

i disagree
it's pretty easy to prove all the things I mention are done on purpose because they were all known to be poisonous before was introduced. Even the mobile phone towers and handset were known to be operating on frequencies that causes changes tissue before they were perpetrated against the public.
people who put the fluoride in the water can't say they didn't know. it would be like putting uranium in the water today and trying to argue there's not enough safety research to prove uranium is a poison. A gov official would have to be lying to try that one on because I don't believe they didn't know.
it's pretty obvious as well.
Its a balance thing. Uranium has NO health benefits. Fluoride does. So its a risk vs reward situation. No I am not for one second saying that they DON'T do these things to harm us. All I am saying is there is NO evidence to say they do it on purpose to harm us. Things are not that complicated, its pretty easy to prove these things are done for the benifits stated, but it is really hard to prove they are done to harm us. Just because something is harmful, does not mean that it done on purpose. You can't just say it is scientifically proven that it is done to harm us, when it most certainly is NOT scientifically proven.
It IS proven to be harmful in one way or another, but it is NOT proven to be done on purpose with intent. I'm not saying that they don't but you are expressing a very rigid opinion that is not backed up by anything other then you claiming it is scientifically proven. No it is not.

Bitcoins trading at $875 AUD today!
Just calculated that 450W Mining rig will only cost $1200 per year to run. Kinda makes solar un feasable
-
It doesn't surprise me this is built on a Leyline. So much effort why not use another site. Very intriguing!

Im Heading to Siem Reap after New Year. Spending Xmas in Koa Samui then New Year at the Doof on Ka Tao then a Quick stay in Bangkok before the trip get interesting. Really looking forward to exploring the History and Culture of Angkor Wat. Another awesome Monument built on one of the worlds most dense and swampy rainforests in under 40 years!
Has anyone been here, who has recommendations and tips. I really want to immerse my self in history and culture and spirituality here. Should be a fun trip!

^^^I disagree, some things can be proven easily with SCIENTIFIC METHODOLOGY. Things like;
the water is poisoned on purpose
the vaccines are poisoned on purpose
ionising radiation is not healthy (wi-fi, mobilephone towers and handsets, smart meters, baby monitors and more).
and when the reason the oligarchy do these things to us are written by them on record then we are going off more than just what one believes to be true. We can start to talk about it being objective truth/fact at that point...or pretty damn close.
again, I maintain it's the lack of historical context to understand the present day that causes us the most trouble with all of this.
I mean, the science is easy enough. What seems to be hard is realising there is even a reason to employ the science to investigate the tyranny in the first place.
Its EASY to prove with "SCIENCE" that these things "COULD" be harmful to your health. It is "NOT" easy to prove they are done on purpose. Take Fluoride for example, although its easy to prove that it is harful for your health it is easy to prove that it is benificial in the right dose for your teeth. So there for it is cloudy as to its reason for being in water and both sides of the case have equal points. I really think that there are larger things going on with the world elite. I honestly think that these smaller theories are just moulded in place to help perpitrate the "CRAZY" conspiracy theorist image and discredit all who speak out against this type of thing.
Chemtrails is another. Although I believe there is evidence that chemtrail operations exist, I don't think its happening on the scale that many conspiracy websites claim. Nearly 100% of the "chemtrails" witnessed in australia can be proven to be scientifically possible to be a "CON" trail not "CHEM". Its also very easy for you to be discredited as a truth advocate if you get caught up in theories and have no solid evidence to back up your claims. You should test every bit of information you read yourself. And if you can't then you need to be careful which information you take on to form your beliefs.

Hey thats not a bad idea.... I'll look into that.
Was also considering Grid Feeding the Solar to Offset the Rig as well.
So many scenarios to build spreadsheets for.
-
Nice Point, and very true. We weighed up the price of batteries and decided its cheaper to use the grid at off peak times. The batteries allow the system to work in cloudy periods or when you are switching to grid power. We haven't finished collecting the data for comparison but once the spreadsheet is finished we should have a clear picture. The Aim is 24hour Mining at the cheapest possible / hour price. We think we can find the balance between battery / solar / grid. Its very preliminary at this stage but I couldn't help but share the data givin the current bitcoin conditions, thought it might inspire others and we could draw inspiration from other people.

Have you considered using FPGA's or ASICS? The power savings would outweigh the initial cost of the device, especially since you're considering solar...

This study is based on current conditions, which are favourable. Mining Card technology has only just improved to a point where you can produce high hash rates for low power consumption. The market is also very volitile for example, in this month alone saw the market capitalization peak at 8.9 Billion and fell to 6.9 Billion in a metter of days. Without governed backing or anything real assests to value it against big investors aren't interested (yet), and most everyday people have either never heard of it or aren't even interested in it. Try and spark up a converstaion about bitcoins at work or the pub and have a look at the reactions you get. I think its so new and risky people are shying away. I truely don't know if it will be viable, under current conditions it certainly looks that way. Its a matter of who is right, in predictions moving forward. Some companies are building rigs and renting under mining contracts. Who would of known, "DIGITAL FUCKING MINING CONTRACTS!!"
Thats some psyfi shit right there, or nerd central whatever way you look at it. Theses contract ensure finacial stubility by leasing by the GH. $10.98 per GH/s. The risk of the market is then on the contract owner whilst the equipment owners can plan with finacial security.

That Cat Dream was bent!
Yeah my dream was pretty boring this morning, nothing super natural or weird. The best dreams are the ones you know your dreaming. If you can stay asleep and control it, this kind of dream (lucid dreaming perhaps, astral travel i dunno) is better then any drug.
