Did they only pay people who make money from Facebook? This wasn't clear to me... 1000 USD seems like a hell of a lot of money for an average user to require.

There are thousands of small coins for which this is true. Therefore the reward would likely be less than the energy consumption costs... You need a reason for adoption.

Even if OP spends 1M on college fees ( I forgot how expensive it is in the US ), I would imagine that they'll still be very comfortable for a long time. Plus, you need to factor in their future earnings. When people speak of retirement

This is nuts. They should just take time to pursue things that actually interest them and continue living as they were. The only way you'd spend all this money is if you started doing crazy things like buying speed boats and other such

I have been in your position for a month. I can honestly recommend leaving work and pursuing things that interest you instead of continuing to go to work, m-f, 9-5. It's just much nicer to operate on your own schedule. Isolation is a t

Is this trolling? How much money do you spend per month lol?! The OP could buy a 1M house and still have enough left for $14.5k per month salary for 40 years...

Retiring is a funny concept. Just because you can suddenly not work doesn't mean you should rest on your laurels. Work is a way to remain occupied, however it is too prescriptive in nature. Most people would benefit from a "retire

Yeah that's a real shame. I keep a completely separate pc HDD running Windows for Ableton. Maybe I'll switch to bitwig one day cause I'd like to be able to produce whilst on the move

I've just moved away from Mac book Pro for this very reason. The new keyboard is horrendous.

After 13 years I recently deleted my entire account. I have more time and I have less admin. I will miss messages from old acquaintances but that's ok.

M-Pesa has demonstrated that payments via SMS are a viable solution for those that lack internet access. GeoPay and others are attempting the same but utilising blockchain. http://bitcoinafrica.io/2017/08/02/a

Supply chain mistakes are costly and can result in unsaleable stock. There are existing standards (see GS1) but they are full of errors due to disparate systems and varying interpretations of XML messages. Smart contracts have the potentia

Excellent! They do not move the physical gold - they move the ownership of a digital token tied to gold, at a far lesser fee than current digital escrow. This is the same as ETF gold currently. Not many people receive actual, physical gold.

They are one and the same. There are of course plenty of "no hoper" ICOs that will cease to exist, much like the dotcom boom. The internet democratized the sharing of information. Prior to this it was quite difficult and expensive

Presumably you use cash occasionally? The worldwide criminal cash markets dwarf anything related to blockchain (although they do also utilise blockchain).
