Well, my buddy and I were considering using for our automated hydroponics system, a wood pellet stove. It would provide heating, as well as saturate the air inside with more CO2. Higher CO2 would, we believe, increase photosynthesis, decrea

Yep, this precisely. Hit the hammer on the head on this comment. My gut feeling was this was a bucket of NiH syndrome. There was too much duplication of work, and way too much made-up jargon to throw us off the mark of what it really was. B

I'm unsure about the German system... I've been on welfare here in the USA. The way it works is dependant on your income. The more you make by hard work, the less assistance you receive. That sounds fair... Until you realize that

Of course, the bulbs would add 97% waste heat if heat isn't wanted. But most places here in the US have some soft of heating system for the winter. That would pretty much require changing out the bulbs for the winter. During sleeping?

I'll say it bluntly, because I know some people here really like Ethereum. Ethereum sucks. (Note: I don't want it to...) 1. No checksums on user's accounts. BTC has had checksums from get-go. Ethdevs think that 0xdeadbeef hex
