Best Way To Mine Bitcoins - Allow Errors!
An anonymous reader writes: A recent paper from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign shows that bitcoin mining profits can be increased considerably if mining hardware is allowed to produce occasional errors. The research shows that mining hardware that allows occasional errors ("approximate mining") can run much faster and take up less area than a conventional miner. Furthermore, the errors that are produced by the miner do no corrupt the blockchain since such errors are easily detected and discarded by the bitcoin network. Mining profits can increase by over 30%.
I can't exchange BitCoin for a real house either.
Oh, really?

Did you even look at Sanders' plans? Or are actually so ignorant just to take the Fox talking head's word that you would pay more taxes under Sanders' plan? The middle class is no longer in the "middle 25%" - in reality the middle 25% is barely better off than the bottom 25%. If you want to get to "middle class" these days you're talking top 30-40% of income, few of whom will see ANY tax increase (yes, only the top 1/3 of US households make more than $60k per year).
If you are making $250k+ you are in the top 2% and will remain there because the government taking an extra couple percent of your income (because it's a PROGRESSIVE MARGINAL TAX INCREASE, duh) is not going to change your financial situation ONE BIT vs anyone below you (again, PROGRESSIVE MARGINAL TAX SYSTEM).
If, however, you are making $2M+ a year, then you will be paying significantly more than you were. In that case I'm sure the 99.9% of the population below you will have much sympathy that you will have to wait an extra month to buy that Lamborghini.
