Good morning dear fellow growers

Last winter I decided to do an ultra low power experiment: Can you grow bell pepper plants using only 1 single Watt for the lights? Today I would like to share the surprising results with you.

On various hydro forums I got the impression that "more is better" regarding LED lights. People are using several hundred Watts for medium-sized tents. Because of the ongoing energy crisis, the cost for electricity has risen significantly, so we have to aim for maximum efficiency and the right dosage to keep our costs down.

​

A few thoughts came to my mind:

• The efficiency game is more or less solved imo. With LED emitters like the Samsung lm301b and lm

It's crystal clear for me:

CfB is Madara Uchiha and plans to do the "Mugen Tsukuyomi". We're all doomed.

Read the signs, 3 circles of 3 black dots: https://bit.ly/2B9Tbb9

What's your theory about that statement of CfB?

Edit: For those not familiar with the manga: Madara lets his eye technique reflect from the moon, hypnotizing everyone and trapping every human being in a virtual reality, an illusion. Just like CfB: Once we hit the moon, he will use his Jinn technique to lock us all up inside his VR.

If you followed https://twitter.com/c___f___b/status/967812658899668992 you may have noticed that Come-from-Beyond repeatedly asked this same, simple yes or no question over and over again, yet all cryptographers refused to answer. Why?

This is the answer:

EU-CMA requires the challenger to generate a random private key. But in the attack provided by the DCI, Ethan did not randomly generate it. He cherrypicked it. Because forging the signature of a bundle would only work on a negligible number of private keys.

So, according to the rules of EU-CMA, Ethan did not break Curl. There was no evidence provided that his attack would work to

Recently I've been reading the book "utopia for realists" by Rutger Bregman, which I highly recommend reading. He suggests fighting world poverty is easier than thought: It would be far more effective than traditional charity programs if we "just" gave money to the poor. It may sound oversimplified, but he cites quite a shitload of studies where homeless were given an unconditional basic income, and it turned out that it was far more effective and much cheaper than all government programs. Most of the homeless didn't use the money for unreasonable things like drugs or alcohol, many of them rented a flat and found jobs. This is just one of many examples.

I want to feel the pulse of the commu

Recently, multiple users posted that their iotas were stolen. Some of them seemingly used websites to generate their seed, like iotaseed.co or iotaseed.net. (iotaseed.io might be legit or not)

It should be clear as daylight, this is crypto 1x1: Never use any website to generate your seed.

You don't know what code is running in the background of the website? Don't use it. It will almost certainly try to steal your seed.

If you want to be your own bank, you have to learn how to do it securely.

We got 70k users in this sub, and only 1.6k follow CfB on twitter?

This guy invented full proof of stake (i.e. Nxt), coded the first version of IOTA. His answers to Fudsters are brilliant.

So, you reattached a few times, but your damn transaction won't go through and you think IOTA is broken?

As you may know, anyone can reattach any transaction. PM me your transaction hash and I'll get it confirmed. Transaction hashes are public, I can't change the tx or steal your iotas by knowing it. I'll do this for the next 3 hours, let's see how many I can confirm.

CONCLUSION: If you want your tx to confirm: Run a full node! You might learn something in the process.

EDIT: THE EXPERIMENT STOPPED. PLEASE DON'T SEND YOUR HASHES ANYMORE. I reattached around 40 transactions. 38 of them confirmed on the first try in ~ under 10 minutes. I had to try a second time for two trasancti

Someone post an IOTA address here. I'll send 1 iota to the first address posted. Let's see if the network really is broken.

No need to post hundreds of addresses, I will only pick the first.

Conclusion: It took 3 hours and 2 reattaches to get the tx confirmed. That is too long and it sucks, but it works.

Here's my suggestion: Read all there is about IOTA the technology: Learn the meaning of the terms (Tangle, bundle, seed, neighbor, light full and public nodes. PoW, CTPS, IoT, etc.) , How to use the wallet (it ain't easy), learn how to troubleshoot.

And then become a community helper! There is a huge influx of new users, and relatively few fully correct answers to the hundreds of questions asked per day. We definitely need to pass our knowledge to the newcomers if we want IOTA to reach world domination.

This is no task for the foundation, but for us, the community. Let's do it.

Read the signs to see that IOTA will reach world dominance:

IOTA is based on ternary logic:

iota is the 9th (3 x 3) greek letter

I = 9 , O = 15 , T = 20 , A = 1 9 + 15 + 20 + 1 = 45 4 + 5 = 9 = 3 x 3

Also have a look at the IOTA logo.

If these signs are not enough: IOTA raised 1337 Bitcoins during the ICO.

Will it be transportation, health care, weather data, smart grids, energy sector, remittances, any other? Why and how will IOTA go big in a specific sector?
