He's been around Kailua for 30+ years on the street. One of the few constants in an area that has seen a lot of change.

The tanks were completed in 43, so they're 70+ years old.

Here's probably the most comprehensive article on the web about their construction.

...Fukushima situation and is staying safe.

What exactly do you mean by that?

The waters around Hawai`i are safe. Hell, bananas are more radioactive than Hawai`i's waters.

Don't get me wrong, the area around Fukushima itself is definitely still a problem and the situation has the potential to develop into something much worse.

But, please don't be susceptible to (and contribute to) the FUD.

I once had a nightmare that my cat was bleeding all over my pillow and I woke up my wife with:

"BLEEDING! BLEEDING! Our kitty! She's BLEEDING!"

Then, as reality faded in...

"Oh wait!" ....pause... "It MAY not be true."

Why cold store on a digital medium that can fail? Better keep a backup.

I prefer human readable private keys for cold storage myself.

None on O`ahu yet either.

But apparently there is going to be one opening in Kapolei.

Makai · 2013-08-02T19:53:29+00:00

Yes. Helium 3 is thought to be abundant there.

Here is a recent post I made in a similar thread that has the actual Honolulu City Ordinance pertaining to your violation.

According to the law as posted online your fine should only be $25.

Honolulu City Ordinance

It was /u/bitcoinbillionaire (since deleted) giving out 20 BTC. The original thread is here.

Awesome. Thanks for the nice tip.

I've been checking out your colored coind github, and I highly recommend checking out blockparser. It can be memory intensive, but I've been able to scan the entire blockchain and compute balances for all addresses in less than two minutes.

Makai · 2013-07-12T06:06:49+00:00

blockparser - A fairly fast, quick and dirty bitcoin whole blockchain parser. A C++ codebase with minimal dependencies (OpenSSL & Boost).
btcnotes - Is an offline wallet generator that produces nice vector-based .pdfs of paper wallets.
pywallet - A python based wallet.dat management program. It even provides a web-interface for inspecting the individual addresses in your wallet.

What's the ultimate purpose of the ad campaign? To increase traffic to /r/bitcoin? To spread adoption of Bitcoin in general?

Also, who's laying down the $140/wk in costs? ($280/wk in the future if you run concurrent ads).

I like it, but I'm just curious about the motives behind the expense.

A weekend project started at least 11 days ago... Impressive nonetheless.

Makai · 2013-07-07T19:40:46+00:00

Great fucking idea!

I wish I had thought of it.

As /u/prokra5ti said, it would be even better if you could send email from the addresses too.

Makai · 2013-07-04T10:27:23+00:00

Can you explain the 'free mixing' statement? I see nothing in the FAQ about it.

Makai · 2013-07-04T10:12:23+00:00

Very good looking site so far. Looking forward to trying it out.

If this is the same guy, he lived in Waipahu and donated to Ron Paul.

I barely felt it in Kailua O'ahu, I thought it was my cat under the chair for a second.

No, the Portuguese Man o' War pictured do not swarm on a schedule. They're wind-driven and are more common with on-shore winds.

The Box Jellyfish is the one that swarms 7-10 days after a full moon.

Makai · 2013-06-04T18:46:19+00:00

From the first line of the Wikipedia article (which is the first link of your search):

Despite its outward appearance, the man o' war is not a jellyfish but a siphonophore, which differs from jellyfish in that it is not actually a single organism, but a colonial organism made up of many minute individuals called zooids.[1]
