    there's always talk about the "killer app" to send crypto stuff to the next level, and i think Omise is really on the verge of something big (at least locally in Thailand for sure)


    while I do not know if OMG will be THE token/project to add digital identities to crypto globally (faces stiff competition from so many other small platforms, and heavy-hitters like Microsoft), I do think that putting digital identities on these chains (btc, eth, etc.) will certainly be a "killer app" and have a tremendous impact on the tech and global adoption overall. it simply has to.

     

    (full disclosure: i don't own a single OMG token, i'm not shilling)

    I do own a few Omisego myself and agree that coin will be huge in Asia. If it is adopted as their go to transaction coin it could really pop.  The platform has potential to be huge as it is on the ethereum block chain and can handle a descent amount of transactions.    

     

    I jumped on the light Coin cash train and could not believe the speed of transactions.   Transferred 11k worth of Light coin to the LCC chain and it was less than 2 min confirmation on the day everyone was trying to get their 10x more coins for putting their Lite coin on their new chain.   So many thought it was a scam but I can assure you my lite coins are all safe back in my wallet and my 400 lite coin cash are waiting on the new block chain : )

     

    The speed of transactions is really driving the tech. We want instant confirmations and  they are getting close to that already.  I honestly think LiteCoin will be one of the most used coins in the future.  Most forks cause quite a bit of fear and doubt but as we have seen with the Bit and Ehtereum forks this is a very good thing in the long run.

     

    The digital apps (DAPPS) will revolutionize commerce  as we know it .  Crypto already has changed the way the world views and uses its money. Its about time.

     

    Look into EOS it will be massive.

    Meh don't worry about it..

    IMO focus on the big 4 like (Bitcoin, Eltherum, Litecoin, and Ripple). 

     

    The rest are basically short term pump and dump coins. 

    Its all about EOS    it will explode. Verge and Omisego may be big players as well. Ripple is the Fed coin stay as fa away as possible.

    Thanks, I was thinking about eating more calories.  I've been on this eating healthier, cutting out the restaurants and not drinking alcohol since the end of December, and I have not seen the improvement I want.   Can you believe that - cutting out the restaurants and not drinking, as well as lowering my calorie intake and exercising more?! I enjoy being a lush, and enjoy sitting around drinking wine or champagne and watching Hockey and the Bachelor, or a Sunday Afternoon getting my lush on, and the only reason I stopped being a lush was to lose weight! 

     

    Anyhow, I may join a gym and talk to a nutritionist.  My body is in a rut.  I may go to the gym today and talk about joining and then going to Trader Joe's to spurge on more healthy food. 

    I suffer from a bit of a protein imbalance so I tend to be very strict on my food combinations.  I have somewhat successfully eliminated bread form my diet as well, this is HUGE when wanting to loose unwanted pounds.   Vitamin B9 and B12 help in digestion as well as burning carbs and give you more energy.

     

    Check your iron and magnesium levels as.....

     

    " certain minerals also play a role in breaking down nutrients into energy, including iron, copper and chromium. Both iron and copper play an essential role in metabolism, working in your cells turning food into energy. While you may feel tired if you lack either one of these nutrients, getting what you need or more won't speed up calorie or fat-burning. Chromium is a trace mineral found in a number of weight-loss supplements. This minerals improves insulin activity and also metabolizes fat, protein and carbs. "

     

    It is really all about absorption and how well your body does it.

    Thanks, I will try that! I weighed myself today, and I was at the same weight.  I want to be 10 pounds lighter, and this is hard. I have been doing strength exercises 2x a week, walking 1-2 hours each day, and 20-25 flights of stairs 5x a week, and intaking 1,500 calories.  I would assume if I in took 1,500 calories, I would at least lose a pound.

     

    I plan on eliminating my intake by 300 calories and adding running 1x a week.  Hopefully that will make me lose weight. 

    You are almost going into starvation mode and will start storing fat with that low of a calorie intake.  Eat smaller meals more often and just ride a bike the pounds will melt away.

     

    a pound of fat takes up about four times the space of muscle tissue, it’s possible to look and feel trimmer even if body weight remains the same. Of course, it’s also possible to weigh the same, but look and feel fatter

    As long as they weren't overclocked to within an inch of their life, they'll be perfectly fine for at least a couple of years or more.  The biggest thing that kills anything that's Solid State is overheating.  If a miner creates that heat by seriously overclocking his card, he won't keep it clocked that high for long because he'll start losing potential coins when his calculations return flawed from the chain.  Games handle small errors without a problem.  Cold hard unforgiving math, not so much.

     

    I buy my cards new every couple of years because I prefer the latest tech, but if I didn't, I'd have no problem buying a used mining rig card.

    Very true Sabre heat is the killer : )   Most miners slightly over clock i cant pretend to know much but I have seen a few used 1070's  in action they seemed to perform fine until you need some serious power. Seems as if heat cycled cards tend to heat up bit easier.   My buddy bought a used 1060ti never over clocked but it continually shows higher temps than normal.  The heat cycling definitely degrades the card much quicker.

     

    I guess a cheaper used card would not be so bad if you are not going to run its legs off ;)

    Wait until the miners start cheaply dumping the current gen cards on the market when the next-gen cards come out or even sooner if the market continues to crash. 

    Those cards are toast ! They have been run hard for a long time stay  away from used mining rig cards.

    Hello all, was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good gaming PC that is VR ready and has the ability to be upgraded easily. I have found some options in the 12-1500 range but there are so many options it’s a bit overwhelming. Any advice on memory or

    video cards or just PC brands to avoid that would be cool. 

     

    Also does anyone have an opinion for the oculus rift vs. HTC?

    Check memory express sale everyday ! Trust me .   As for Rift  vs Vive. I own a rift I am over the moon with it. It is the best thing i have ever purchased. It takes gaming to the next level and that level is a straight mind BLOW  :D

     

    I have tried the VIVE and it is amazing too. More expensive with slightly better resolution but honestly for the money either one will make you smile from ear to ear.  Once you play minecraft in VR you are ruined for life. I have only once gone back to a normal screen and it was like I was a fish out of water lol

     

    I highly recommend you try both of them before purchase just to see if you can get over the motion sickness that can occur for some. The first week or so it is a bit nauseating after you put the headset down after a good stint.   I bought VR exclusively for SIM racing but I love tactical shooters and IMHO ONWARD is the most realistic  military game on the planet. 

     

    Guys have made 3d printed gun stocks to hold the controllers like a rifle it is pure immersion !

     

    Also if making a VR ready rig spend the money on a 1070 or higher GPU and a good power supply. You dont need 16gb of ram either 8 works completely fine for me on every title.  I have a GTX 1070 8gb card and get over 300fps without VR and a steady 90fps with it on. 

     

    If you are like me and want a whisper quiet PC get MAGLEV fans omg these are the greatest things since sliced bread : D

    Good luck finding a 1060 or above in stock... Prices are insane right now :huh: I was able to snipe aa 1070 Ti 8gig for 640$ after tax on black friday... 

     

    YEah built my rig in OCT. I  knew prices were gonna spike because so many bit coin mining ops are sucking GPU's up like a black hole.
