An accidental emergency call might have saved a woman's life Smart home companies are quick to reassure customers that their devices aren't listening in to every word you say but we're seeing more and more dramatic stories of tech intervening and acting as a witness. Last week, a smart home speaker - first reported to be a Google Home but now only known as a "smart home device" - called 911 from a house in Tijeras, New Mexico. What apparently triggered the call was Edward Barros asking his girlfriend, who was hurt in the altercation and alleges he was threatening her with a gun, "Did you call the sheriffs?" This phrase lead the smart home speaker, which was connected to surround sound speakers, to call the police. Deputies from the sheriff's department, negotiators and a SWAT team then arrived on the scene, checked if the woman needed to go to hospital (she didn't) and Barros was arrested. It's not clear whether this was a device without a command word or if the 'request' to call the police was able to override this. County Sheriff Manuel Gonzales III told ABC: "The unexpected use of this new technology to contact emergency services has possibly helped save a life. This amazing technology definitely helped save a mother and her child [who was in the house] from a very violent situation." This isn't the first time smart home speakers like the Amazon Echo and Google Home have been mixed up in trials. Professor Jeremy Watson, an Internet of Things expert at UCL, recently told us: "My feeling is that it will become perfectly legitimate for agencies like the FBI or [british] Home Office to have access to this data."

TweetDeck - If Twitter is your primary social network, Tweetdeck is worth a look.

In this tutorial we will demonstrate how to buy Reddcoin using shapeshift. What is Reddcoin? Reddcoin is the social currency that enriches people’s social lives and makes digital currency easy for the general public. Reddcoin achieves this by integrating a digital currency platform seamlessly with all major social networks to make the process of sending and receiving money fun and rewarding for everyone. What is PoSV? Proof of Stake Velocity (PoSV) is proposed as an alternative to Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) to secure the peer-to-peer network and confirm transactions of Reddcoin. PoSV is designed to encourage both ownership (Stake) and activity (Velocity) which directly correspond to the two main functions of Reddcoin as a real currency: store of value and medium of exchange In its most basic form, we can think of PoSV simply as compounding interest. It was designed to offer 5 - 6% interest, compounding every time you stake (produce new coins). How to buy Reddcoin? A basic overview is very similar to Siacoin, we will download the Reddcoin wallet from the website and then use Shapeshift to buy Reddcoins by exchanging our bitcoins. Step 1 Download the Reddcoin wallet from here: Reddcoin Wallet After you have downloaded the blockchain you can go to file and then click on receiving address to find yours. Step 2 Go to shapeshift and chose Bitcoin as your sending currency and then select Reddcoin as the currency you would like to exchange your bitcoins for. Deposit the bitcoins to the address they give you and then wait for the transaction to process. Step 3 HODL! #Profit Tips: If you found this guide to be useful, please send some Reddcoin our way by using our wallet: RsfXVrNzdz8HoZshRfoSMRj289bEaXa1hq [video=youtube]

Graphics cards designed for cryptocurrency mining coming soon
Platinum Wealth replied to Purply's topic in Mining
I do not see the RX470/570 being profitable anymore come September. Not when they will be competing with the new 20xx series cards. (I say that as a owner of RX470/570 rigs) That and the 4Gb/8Gb ram seems like a an issue going forward. -
In this tutorial I will demonstrate how to buy SIA coins using Shapeshift. What is SIA? The idea is simple, allow anyone to rent out their storage space and in return reward them for their contribution. Currently cloud storage services are mostly centralized and the data is stored on a third party server. With Siacoin, the storage would be decentralized as each user would contribute their own share of resources. So what is Siacoin? Siacoin is the currency that is used to buy storage space on the SIA network. So SIA is the cloud storage platform which only accepts Siacoin for payments. How to buy Siacoin? An overview of the process is quite simple and it’s a lot like buying ethereum. You will download the SIA wallet and then you will use shapeshift to exchange bitcoin for siacoin. Download the Sia wallet - download link, this is a zip file so unzip it to your desktop and then run the sia-ui.exe file inside. Now will need to wait whilst it downloads the entire blockchain, this step can take hours, it took me 8 hours. To use the wallet the program will give a seed and a password, save this in a safe place. After the blockchain is downloaded and synced up you will be able to use the wallet, it will ask you for the password again that you have saved. In the wallet click on “Receive” this will generate an address for you – This will be the address that you are going to use in the next step on Shapeshift. Now go to https://shapeshift.io and make sure to select bitcoin as the currency you want to exchange for Siacoin Then you will need to enter your Siacoin address and your bitcoin address, the bitcoin address will be used as a failsafe to refund you should something go wrong in the process. (Something went wrong on some occasions when I did it, but I always received my BTC back in such cased. Not trying to scare anyone, but do keep in mind the crypto boat is not always as smooth sailing.) Now you will send BTC to the address that shapeshift have given you, this process takes anywhere from minutes to days depending on shapeshift. Assuming you are lucky and all went smooth, you should now see your transaction completed and the funds reflecting in your Sia wallet. Some notes: Each time you want to receive funds you will be given a new address. Do not panic. For both privacy and security reasons, it's bad to reuse addresses. To help minimize the amount of address reuse, Sia gives you a new address each time you ask for one. For privacy, this makes it more difficult (but not impossible) for people to tell how many coins you own just by looking at the blockchain. For security, there are sometimes bugs that allow people to learn your private key and steal your funds if you reuse addresses. These bugs are rare, but tend to happen especially on Android, and when using Javascript. Generally speaking, address reuse will not allow people to steal your coins. If you are using secure code, address reuse is okay. But if you don't reuse addresses then you are often safe even on shaky platforms. Old addresses will still work. Tips If you found this tutorial useful, send some Sia love to 18540735ea2ec73b8eb9d459e8c621d6fac02eb9bd328ea3d9fa89e536ad48cf57a8298290df

RABBIT HASH, Ky. (WDRB) -- When you drive into Rabbit Hash, Kentucky, you're thrust back in time. Porches are still hangouts for young guys to talk girls. The General Store is a one stop shop for anything you need. Every town, no matter how small, needs a leader. After a "ruff" election, the spot on the banks of the Ohio River has one. "She's very outgoing," Bobbi Kayser said. "She has the best smile I've ever seen," Jordie Bamforth said. "There's always inappropriate licking going on," Kayser added. You might be saying "wait, what?" They're all talking about a Pitbull. The treat-loving, woods-exploring, good girl is named Brynneth Pawltro. After pledging to sniff out the community's problems with a little help from her best friend, she won the election a few months back. The competition was stiff. "There was a cat, the chicken, a donkey, a little boy," Bamforth said. Brynneth took them all down without much more than a bark. Believe it or not, the pooch is the fourth dog mayor to be unleashed on the city. "It started in the late 1990s as a fundraiser," said Kayser, who works with the Rabbit Hash Historical Society. "We charge you a dollar for your vote, You vote as often as you want." The town is so small it doesn't need a real mayor. Usually, the money from the election goes toward town improvements, but this time it helped to repair the General Store after a devastating fire last year. "It was so heartbreaking, but it's been really awesome to watch it rise from the ashes," Bamforth said. Now that Brynneth is in office, there are stances to take and decisions to make. Tennis balls or sticks? Alpo or Blue Buffalo? "I don't know, she might just go possum hunting," said Carol Hege, who was visiting from Virginia. All the pundits want to know: Will Brynneth return to the campaign trail again? "We'll see what politics does to her for the next four years," Bamforth said. Perhaps only time will tell if Brynneth has a nose for politics or if it's back to the doghouse. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_Hash,_Kentucky

At that time it was mem clocked to 571, core clocked to -122 and power set to 68% - Used the 378.92 driver version on windows build 15063 with all updates disabled. Latency on the network was below 8ms. ( You will not believe, but I have seen large drops in profit when the latency goes above 200ms) New rigs we now flash the bios using NVIDIA NVFlash to get the power usage down essentially undervolting the cards.

The computer throws a blue screen of death with the error message VIDEO TDR FAILURE TDR is the Timeout, Detection, and Recovery component in Windows. What happens is the Graphics Display driver for the installed graphics card(s) stops responding. When this happens, windows will stop and restart the driver to fix the problem, failing that results in the blue screen with video tdr failure. The most common reason for this issue is that the graphics device is being overloaded or used beyond its capabilities. This happens most often when playing graphic intensive games, but can happen with any process that uses a large amount of graphic resources, such as mining Ethereum and/or alt coins in our case. In most cases, the Video TDR failure is a software related issue (Incompatible drivers), but there are some rare instances where it's caused by a hardware problem, like a broken GPU or faulty riser. Note: The different notifications behind VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE, i.e, atikmpag.sys, nvlddmkm.sys and igdkmd64.sys, is due to the different brands of graphics cards and the graphics card drivers that you are using. atikmdag.sys or atikmpag.sys VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE is ATI/AMD nvlddmkm.sys VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE is Nvidia igdkmd64.sys is Intel To fix this issue: Method One: Update Driver/Cleanly Re-install NVIDIA Graphics Driver or AMD depending on what you have. Method Two: Re-install Driver in Safe Mode Note: In this method if you are using AMD cards, it is required that you download the latest version of the Intel chipset drivers and the latest version of the ATI/AMD graphics card driver.

To avoid coming accross like a pyramid scheme sales rep , perhaps open a new thread "Introducing Get-Eth" and explain your business a bit more in depth. On face value it looks interesting very entrepreneurial. Edit: On second thought, 50/50 looking like a pyramid scheme. Will wait for them to explain the process in detail, before I apply the ban hammer pre-maturely.

Primarily Nicehash. I am going to experiment with Linux over the weekend and see if we cannot juice out some power hashes. Another focus will be to mine currencies directly. I wanted to continue with ether, but I am not completely clued up how Proof of Stake will affect mining, perhaps @Leetpro can give some insight there.
