I just got a server error. I can't for a second believe the EDF slashdot effect brought it down!!


Though I see that the reason for the Satoshi's current divisibility seems to be because of processor architecture (or more likely os) limitations

Exactly - like every other currency, it has infinite divisibility - the Satoshi is just a reflection of the limitation in the datatype of current implementations.


"Bitcoin, offers a simple and stylish solution: infinite divisibility"


Why???


"... Bitcoins can be divided up and trade into as small of pieces as one wants, so no matter how valuable Bitcoins become, one can trade them in practical quantities"


From the FAQs of the same source: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/FAQ

My partner bought ?70 worth that made ?20 in a couple of weeks then the value dropped again then it went up again. We can spend more on a 'swift half' down the pub, so it's not exactly an investment but you don't need a few hundred quid to just have a go! If you want to make (or lose) serious money then yeah.


Another option is mining - well beyond me but I have a friend who does it successfully: http://qz.com/154877/by-reading-this-page-you-are-mining-bitcoins/

    • Hello, If anyone is looking for a cleaner, I can very strongly recommend Val. She has been cleaning for me for the last 7 years. She is reliable, kind, and her attention to detail is fantastic. Two of her long-standing customers are soon to be moving away and she is looking to replace them with new clients. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and excellent at their job, I would recommend getting in touch with her - 07964822411.
    • It's a bit simplistic blaming cats for the decline in bird populations, it's human activity as a whole in particular land management and farming practices.  Climate change no doubt is beginning to damage numbers, the changes in the season are already creating issues with the food not being around at the right time in the nesting season.  That said our domestic cats are an introduced species, so bird predation on birds is not natural; the number of indigenous wild cats in the days gone past would have been pretty small and tiny now down to a few 100 in Scotland. That said many urban birds are semi domesticated as they rely so much on people to feed them, and some such as goldfinches are doing very well.  And I have never seen an urban cat with a dead bird, mice - yes.

    • Did Young's have a policy of only letting unpleasant couples be licencees? I remember the couple who ran the Clock House. Their son was an arse, as well. New Year's Day, probably 1998/99. Absolutely freezing. Lovely walk through Peckham Rye Park, fancied a pint. They wouldn't let us sit inside with a two year old. We had to sit out in the sleet. Tiny, cold hands. Massive, hot chips. A fortnight of toddler chilblains. I think the landlord was ex Met, if I recall correctly.  
    • Hi everyone, My pet cat, Nido, is lost. He’s a British Shorthair, grey / blue and is an indoor cat. We just moved into the area (East Dulwich, Lordship Lane, near local Sainsbury’s) and had some contractors come do some work in the house. They either left the door or window open and our cat managed to escape. He is absolutely precious and is likely to be scared. Please reach out to 07519665507 if you happen to see him.   Many thanks, Aqsa
