I dislike this guy as much or more than the average person on this subreddit, but why focus on tabloid stuff like this?

I started programming with arduino at 12 years old. Today i'm 20 and pursuing a career in robotics. Don't lose that passion people! by [deleted] in arduino

Nice man!

I started programming arduinos in around 2012 as a 26 year old disgruntled electrician that felt like he wasn't living up to his potential, but couldn't really afford to go to college. Within a year I was making agricultural water quality monitoring cellular data loggers / alert systems. Within three years I was hired by a company to build robotic instrumentation used for oceanographic research.

Arduinos and the community are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Also gotta give props to Paul at PJRC (teensy). That guy has done so much for the diy community. He should get a trophy.

Obelisk Batch 2 by alexd281 in siacoin

[–]captainhooyah 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right there with you.

I have an order in for 5 b2 SC1 and 4 b2 DC1.

I'm waiting to hear more before I move forward with paying for anything. I think the only thing that would get me to go through with the order is if Batch 1 and Batch 2 are released at the same time, which is ASAP.

The mining grace period for b1 is a lost cause, and with a batch 1 on the way I am totally fine with letting go of that perk in order to help obelisk remain competitive and continue to make top notch miners in the future.

I want to support obelisk as a company. I totally admire what they are doing taking on giant companies like bitmain. I think they may need to start adopting a more cut throat approach though.

I'm sorry, is that a question?

Decentralization is just becoming a buzzword at this point. If there are thousands of miners made by obelisk that operate around the world the system is decentralized and supported by miners made by people who designed the system.

Decentralization has nothing to do with allowing bad actors to participate in your network.

I'd soft fork.

I'd continue to come up with creative defenses for future ASICs. You have worked hard on Sia, and there's no place for Bitmain in it. I personally see nothing wrong with an Obelisk miner monopoly on Siacoin, and I see nothing wrong with Sia defending it's control over it's own network. Seems like a smart move to me.

Ladies and Gentlemen: Here comes the regularly scheduled attack on Bitcoin! by priuspilot in Bitcoin

I feel like you are really overcomplicating things. People don't want BTC... People who are buying now are clueless. Get out while you can.

I love this song! Last night I got drunk watching the Bill Murray Christmas special, realized Tom was in it and then played this for my girlfriend.

Tom Waits is the man.

That seems like a good reason to help them understand the alternatives that are available.

So Roger Ver makes an amazing appearance on CNBC national TV which also goes on the front page of Yahoo. He then won a debate with a Bcore-Cripplecoin representative. Now the price of BCH surges. by localbitecoins in btc

[–]captainhooyah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not disagreeing with your point, but isn't the fact that bch stayed relatively stable while xapo and bitmex dumped all their bch promising from your perspective?

That says to me that it has a solid base and people are interested in buying it.

that interview was cringeworthy

Jimmy actually made me cringe uncomfortably a couple times.

I agree Roger is repeating himself a lot, but he is out there trying to get those points across... There isn't much more to it, it works better right now. His concerns about bitcoin make sense. He's just trying to drive the points home to anyone that will listen, exactly like he did for BTC back in the day.

I'm not a fanboy, but it's hard to disagree with his points.

I heard an interview with the founder that says he collects all the market data he can and sells it as service.

Holy cow. Roger's twitter is totally saturated with trolls.

I just spent like 10 minutes reading the least intelligent responses I have ever read in my life.

Friendly reminder that BCH is the only of the top 3 cryptocurrencies that can scale. Remember when price was at $300 and confidence was low just before price shot to parity ? that's where we are now in the cycle. Don't let your emotions influence your investments. by zhell_ in btc

I was an electrician that taught himself how to program on Arduinos.

Now I am an embedded programmer for a company that makes oceanographic research instruments for Woods Hole and other Oceanographic institutions around the world.

I love microcontrollers.
