Hello there,

Kindly I address you and sincerely this is not intended as spam or self promoting but a sincere invitation to all and my passion like all free minded individuals like a lot of you no doubt learned & clearly enlightened individuals to share with those that believe in the same ideals and in the process help you make a mega fortune up to 1000% returns or more in 5 years with options to withdraw earnings monthly or yearly which you can do anonymously too I want to introduce you to Bitcoin Private Bank & Blaze Power Corporation. Lets put this in perspective. If you deposit 1BTC today with Bitcoin Private Bank you are guaranteed to earn 16.67% interest every month this is guaranteed regardless of market conditions this is the banks base interest rate you will always get this no matter what which is better than keeping Bitcoin in a non interest bearing Bitcoin wallet this revenue can also help you mitigate the ever increasing Bitcoin transfer fees & constant rate fluctuations it is also safer than cold storage because the bank stands guarantor for your funds (better than FDIC). Cold storage is not entirely safe because you can lose or corrupt the hardware, key store even a paper wallet can be lost or stolen cold storage is not a fool proof solution (read on it gets better). But for the more ambitious individual there is even greater reward when you invest rather than just banking & I will elaborate. Looking at Blaze Power market share 100% (there is no direct competitor i.e based on rate of production & service revenue from wholesale discounted power supply). The actual growth rate of Blaze Power Corporation is thus in excess of this, 1BTC investment in Blaze Power Corporation today would net you $3,000,000.00 in 5 years, that is $50,000.00 earned every month for a 1BTC investment this is not theory or speculation, ponzi or a pyramid but based on actual performance & energy market fundamentals. Obviously like any other IPO (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft including early days of Bitcoin etc) the trick is to buy as many shares as you can then watch the value of your shares grow as the company expands rapidly & watch yourself go from Bitcoin to Millionaire in a short space of time. Impossible? Well unlike Facebook, Google, Twitter or Microsoft we actually have a world changing tangible product worth trillions & a life critical & essential service (Unlimited Electricity which ironically is also the backbone of all Bitcoin mining, the major overhead & determines the difference between break even or bankruptcy in Bitcoin mining thus how can you go wrong?). What or who is Blaze Power Corporation? Well I will elaborate. I am CEO of Blaze Power Corporation. My company is here http://www.blaze-power.eu and just like Germany we have a big drive toward the eradication of the Nuclear danger & threat. We have created a revolutionary new way to create power without nuclear waste or hot fission radioactive reaction. We have invented reactive power reactor or Fueless Energy Acquisition Reactor "FEAR Tech™" as we acronym it (see the website) worth untold billions even trillions of EUR/GBP/USD whichever you prefer. You can invest in this marvelous technology with Bitcoin (or regular Bank Transfers if anonymity is of no concern to you) through a Bitcoin offshore investment bank https://www.bitcoin-bank.trade to also help raise awareness in the future of Green Energy, privacy which are all under threat. DO NOT take my word for it just read the Testimonials & see what existing clients have to say. To put this into perspective (see Bitcoin Bank) for every 1BTC you invest today you are guaranteed to have more than $30million USD in share value alone within 5 years if of course you do not sell your shares this is factoring in the rate of growth of Blaze Power Technology thus for every 1BTC or more you invest now you are a guaranteed millionaire in 5 years. Checkout both websites and have an open mind do not miss out like those caught sleeping in the early days of Microsoft when people laughed at Bill Gates when he stated that software would outsell hardware when it comes to computing, this then is one of those moments thus this is the time to get in your chance, it's not too late. Spread the word and let us make a difference business wise & conscious. Visit YouTube and keyword FUKUSHIMA danger 2016 you are also saving the world & making a big difference. You are not safe as long as Nuclear reactors still exist this is your chance to make a mega profit & save the world at the same time. Before you get skeptical take a look at what famous individuals in history said (as pointed out by a savvy investor at Bitcoin Bank) and quote:

Realistically, what will happen is major service providers that are holding your coins will have an overlay network that has higher trust requirements. Higher transfer rates, faster resolution. Only do "real" bitcoin transactions a couple times a day between players. Basically how all other high-frequency markets work.

Lighting Network is an overlay network that is low-trust and high-speed, thanks to its combination of multisignature transactions and payment channels. It settles on the blockchain on a predefined schedule (hours to weeks), with strong protection against theft and doublespends.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You really do have to trust your payment method provider to protect you against fraud. You have to trust it not to committing fraud. Your payment method provider does not 'trust' you to pay the bill. They trust that they have the bigger stick and better lawyers.

>You really do have to trust your payment method provider to protect you against fraud. You have to trust it not to committing fraud. Any major credit card provider in the US provides this with no hassle. I've had people steal my number with 4 different credit card providers and the only thing I've had to do is call them and identify the bad charges. The only inconvenience is the 3 minute phone call and waiting a wee…

Which results in a high administrative overhead

Isn't the only difference from "here's your ballot, citizen" that it's actually fair this time, instead of cross-your-fingers hopefully fair? Shouldn't a majority vote reflect the will of the majority?

How is "the people who can buy the most hashing power have the most votes" fair? That's the bitcoin majority...

The hashing power follows the economic majority, not the other way around.
