    Just say an article that dogecoin was up to $.01 and now has a market cap of $1 billion. Dogecoin hasn't had a software update for two years. Sounds like a pump and dump scheme happening there.

    With spectrum I usually just call them up after my bill goes up and say cancel my service which gets me retention and they will lower my bill back down after and little back and forth.

    The amazon store card interest rate is high just like all store cards are. I think 24.99%. The 5% cash back at amazon is nice though

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    One thing to be careful of if you have your own wallet is having a lot of small amounts of Bitcoin, if you go to send a larger amount it's going to cost you more in fee. It's not as simple as .1+.5+.3.+.1=1. More inputs will increase the kb size of the transaction, which increases your cost to send.

    There are quite a few analyst that claim Bitcoin will be $40000 by the end of 2018. I've seen a few claim $100k in 2020. Who knows really. As with any investment, you have to know your risk. Lots of people will just tell you to hold and keep holding or hodl as they call it.

    How do you guys deal with different Santa traditions? Like with my family, Santa came to everyone's house and left gifts for everyone, that my grandmother would bring when we all got together. With my wife, it was Santa only came to her house and no where else.

    Fees are getting out of hand, right now according to Bitcoin Fees for Transactions | bitcoinfees.earn.com its .0077 per KB to send a transaction, a couple of days ago it was .0030. High transaction fees are what is going to really hurt bitcoin in the long run. So to send a 262 byte transaction...

    Most nodes have a 72 hour timer on transactions where they will forget about a transaction if it hasn't been confirmed, provided no one is relaying the transaction. I've read where people have sent low or zero fee transactions that are so low it will never confirm and they can run a few start...

    I guess the theory is that people will mine for the transaction fees and that what will keep them mining. It only takes one person mining to confirm a block.

    Transaction fees are suppose to replace mining rewards. That's why the block reward halves. Something really needs to be done about the block size. There are something like 150k unconfirmed transactions right now and fees are pretty high.

    when you used to be able to cpu mine bitcoins, hacks like this would work pretty well. Most pools now ban cpu and gpu mining, so the hacks are worthless now.

    With my current set up I have 10th and with each block we find at current prices I get about $100. So far in the month of december, we've found 5 blocks, so I've gotten about $500. So not too bad really

    I really think if you are going to get into mining, you might look at alt coins. I have some old s1 and s3 gathering dust. Got an s5 and three avalon miners going now. It's only 10 terahashes. It just wasn't worth running the s3s anymore. I feel like the only people that win in the Bitcoin...

    My son is a daddy's boy. I'm clearly his favorite. Other times he'll be really lovey towards my wife. He gets hurt and he'll go to her for comfort, out of the blue he'll say I love you mommy. So its not constant dickish behavior all the time. I asked him once why he says he doesn't like mommy...

    Yeah I know it's normal, just hard when you got a pregnant wife who is all hormonal and her kid is saying I don't like mommy. At least I can hang the threat of Santa not coming because he's not being nice to mommy over his head.
