This thread is the mockchain. Each page is its own mock, stretching back to the birth of the BTC algorythym itself. We trawls trawl through the river of feces spewing from the triple-headed nightmare throne of Reddit, Bitcointalk, and the website you folks get all the legal quotes from.

that was pruned because it would require us to read the loving Brazil, Harry Potter, and galtse dumps. and then we'd argue about cars and goats again. (monty hall is actually an aging Japanese train enthusiast, painting tiny goat and car figurines)

Agreed, I think the mining side of the ePlug is probably it's weakest point right now because of the limitations that we have with cpu horsepower. It's a nice addon if the ePlug isn't doing anything else at the moment, but the real coin will come from farming out it's unused resources, I mean like how much hard drive space do you have available right now? I'd say I have like 40% of my hard drive space is totally free, so why not farm out the excess for it and get paid in crypto. I want to get crypto into the mainstream masses too, not just meshnet. If we all start using crypto currencies, what will happen to the euro, dollar, yen and such? Exactly. The people can rule once again. Man, I'm with ya. It's only vaporware if nobody wants something like this. I'm just a guy who works at home, loves his little girls and wants to change the world and with something like this I really think we can do it. Get both crypto and meshnet out there. The banks, google, isp's, i'm sure they all hate my idea too.

Cool, I mean why would I want to have just one PC in my house capable of doing everything I need, and one wireless router that can give me all the coverage I need, when I could break the PC and wireless router up into lots of tiny pieces, one per room, which overall might give me the same wirless coverage if I'm lucky, and definitely don't have the grunt of the PC?

The ePlug is definitely a good fit for bitcoin because it's another solution looking for a problem.

Bitcoin was the worst investment of 2014, but that's a good thing for Bitcoin
The less it's seen as a speculative currency, the easier it will be for bitcoin to gain momentum as a technology
By Ben Popper on December 15, 2014 01:22 pm

...Bitcoin, in the minds of many smart folks, is not a currency, but a protocol, more like TCP/IP, the bedrock of the internet. It enables an entirely new kind of interaction, a mechanism that is both centralized and decentralized at the same time, a platform that is completely anonymous and yet extremely rich in trust. For folks like that, who are building bitcoin startups or investing in them, the issue that was holding back the adoption of Bitcoin was volatility driven by speculators and the financial press. It could continue to be the worst performing investment class, and it's likely bitcoin will still boom as a sector for venture capital investment. What matter to them is that the number of transactions using bitcoin keep rising, and when viewed through that lens, 2014 was very healthy year.

i keep detecting this bleak hope that throngs of regular consumers will unwittingly lend their spare cpu cycles to mining

also, if im understanding correctly, wouldn't a mesh net have, like, terrible latency?

the price is right is probably more your speed, then. also, lets imagine how great the show would be with buttcoin prices instead of worthless fiat.
