Why do large hydro electric projects always use dams? It seems like a dam wastes a ton of land creating a lake?
Paper wallets can get lost or stolen, A lot of online wallets get hacked, and DIY encryption doesn't seem like a great way to go either, especially for grandma.
I'd happily pay a fee to coinbase in exchange for some kind of insurance against them being hacked.
I'm curious how it's done. I'm thinking to code up something where people can have a small amount of bitcoins donated to every URL they visit. If it ever caught one if could be a way to fund content instead of ads.
That way it could be self perpetuating?
Everyone is aware there are goto drugs to toenail fungus and restless leg syndrome from all of the commercials. Shouldn't drugs like these that apply to even more people be all over the airwaves?
In fact I once passed on a job offer because they wouldn't let me see the code until I accepted.
Lets say we fly a rocket up to earth sun L4 at a really slow speed. When we reach L4 we fire retro rockets to slow down as to not overshoot.
It seems to me that we never have to reach a high speed to stay in space at that point. The two bodies would be holding us there?
Is that correct? Is there a certain speed to fly out to L4 which uses less fuel than speeding up to 8km/s like you would need to stay in space orbiting earth?
