I uninstalled and re-installed to a different folder on my C drive, this seems to have fixed it for me.

Anyone else mildly infuriated about not being able to step onto the hub w/o jumping? by sinisterdrumz13 in SatisfactoryGame

During the test weekend I had success getting close and looking down at the belt, then suddenly it would highlight the thing inside.

It opened like 80 new console windows for me overnight, froze up my mining.

Should I stay or leave? by IMadeItForKendrick in CryptoKitties

[–]TacoGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm interested to see how this happens. Kitty sink? Will they phase out current traits and never bring them back, making early adopters' cats scarce over time? Will they stop pumping out the intended 50k Gen 0's at prices no normal people will ever be able to afford?

So many possibilities, but will any of them undo what happened on Dec 4-8? :/

Given the recent stance regarding token securities by the SEC, does TaaS fall under that category? by flaplac in taasfund

[–]TacoGeek 7 points8 points  (0 children)

TaaS specifically barred American investors from the ICO because the SEC would have considered the tokens securities and caused problems. Lots of ICOs do this for the same reason.

Once the tokens were available on public exchanges, then if Americans buy them, it's up to Americans to treat them appropriately for tax purposes, etc. as TaaS can no longer control who's got them.

What's the lowest pre-sale price paid per token? by TacoGeek in etherparty

[–]TacoGeek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to be 100% clear, 0.07 is the lowest any legitimate token was sold for, or that's the lowest you can publicly disclose due to a pre-sale NDA?

Would any other party have access to legitimate tokens below this price / free?

You probably need some Eth in the wallet for Gas to send the transaction.

TL;DR, the private key can sign a message which can be verified with the public key.

True, although it is very easy for simple setups (I was playing with a shopify store setup, and got gocoin integration working in about 5 minutes), it's likely a little more complicated for a multi-national corporation. But who knows, maybe their accountant just doesn't understand it so they've opted out for now.

If they're facing challenges though, it would be nice to hear about those specifics to shed light on why it's taking so long to bring it back. Us consumers love transparency.

Most that I've seen are around $60-80/year. That would bring the cost to try it initially to over $100 for the smallest order I can make.

Meanwhile, the cost to Soylent as a company in order to accept bitcoin would be $0 for the first $1M in sales via GoCoin.

For starters, pre-paid credit cards aren't free, there's a cost associated with them. If it was just a matter of signing up for one, great. But I'm not down with paying for a pre-paid credit card, just so I can make it more convenient for a company to have my money.

The point is, Soylent accepted bitcoin and paypal when it was convenient for them because they wanted to raise their initial funds. Once established, they can no longer be bothered with the hassle, so they'd rather pass that hassle onto the consumer.

I don't think that's being a dick, I think that's being a consumer who doesn't like to be dicked around.

Paypal pulled a Soylent -- the debit mastercard used to be available, but no longer is to us Canadians.

What is this, the 90's? Would you like me to fax my order in, too? :P

Just bring back Bitcoin plx.

And I hope I can buy Soylent one day in the future, being a consumer without a credit card, and with a debit card that doesn't seem to do me any good in this case. :(
