Bitcoinorama you work for kncminer as a PR guy or what is your function there? And have you always worked for them since the start of this topic message?

btc price recovering. This might actually be good news if people don't panic sell.

Yaaay!
Cheap BTC next days - I'm going to grab some more of 'em  

BTC is not abut drugs, more and more mainstream guys&galls are interested in BTC.
From my point of view this decreasing in value  is just a temporary effect for sure.


May I ask how you can seize BTC ?
Do they have them in their wallets or at least the private keys ??

seizing hardware on which a wallet is stored on means nothing, but I guess it's what they did.
If they do not understand BTC and compare the wallet.dat to a real wallet then you're lost since there is the magic concept of a 'copy' another one might hold and transfer the 'seized' BTCs anyhow.

That's simple. They had kept a hot iron on his chest until he revealed all his passwords and private keys.

That's actually great positive news!   Bitcoin is free to rise without the negative stigma that that attached itself as a cancer.
If only they could also bust all the traffickers and drug dealers, who use USD, so that maybe Dollar would also stand a chance...

Yes



It shouldn't be a problem it is just pointing out that the SATA/Molex/Peripheral connectors are also on rails 4 & 6 so you shouldn't use PCIe on them as well to avoid overloading.  You aren't hooking up giant banks of hard drive or multiple CD Rom drives so it is a non issue.  You can use any of the six high current connectors at the bottom.  Optimally you want them spread out on as many rails as possible.


You can but it will require modifying or making custom cables.  You have two EPS connectors.  You can't use them directly they won't fit and have different pin out configuration.  However if you cut the EPS end off and replaced it with a 6 pin PCIe connector it would work just fine.  12V is 12V.  The PSU doesn't really care if it is powering a motherboard or hard drive or another couple KNC boards.   Alternatively you could rig a custom cable using the Molex or second motherboard connector.

Note unless you know what you are doing you could do some bad stuff.  You will need to do some self research find out the current limit on each 12V rail, and then come up with a plan from their.  The proper way would be to buy blank PCIe connectors and pins.  Solder the pins and attached them to the connector.  You may be able to rig up something use splice (butt) connectors and an existing PCIe connector.  If all this seems complex and scary you likely shouldn't try.  It isn't rocket science but you should have a good understanding of basic electrical work.

Something will replace the gap left by SR.  $50M a year in demand isn't going to just disappear.

This is much off topic, and I will let it be after this post, but US currency has a special place with the citizens of the world, as opposed to the governments and businesses of the world.  

Do you recall some years ago, when the US announced that a change was being made to the 100 dollar bill to make it harder to counterfeit?  Rumors went around Eastern Europe, which morphed, as rumors do, into the belief that the "old" bills would no longer be honored.  There were great "runs" on banks and currency exchanges, with thousands of desperate people wanting to exchange the bills they feared soon would be worthless.

In that sense, the $100 bill serves the same purposes as gold, or diamonds.  Or, some day perhaps, as bitcoins.

Well, if they can easily prove that you used a BTC address to receive/send funds then a judge can hold someone in contempt (in jail) until they disclose the private key. Sure, there are all kinds of ways that one could deny ownership but if they don't convince the judge then they sit in contempt.

I thought more about family members or a close friend having for ex. a paper copy and now transfer the BTC to another wallet, then one could release after let's say 3 days the key without any impact. So seized or not seized in this case ?
