kakobrekla: Quote from: Inaba on Today at 05:30:12 PM : I suggest you read up on how bitcoin difficulty works
as related to hashrate on the network. Whether it's 10 months or 1 month, it's completely immaterial to your ROI.

thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: I would go
as far (with truffles thought), that you can line up even a billion rich pseudo-smart idiots
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller yes. there's this deeply entrenched mentality of stupid, in the us. it manifests

as Diablo-D3 are technically scammors
