    I was expecting this to have an impact on the price of BTC, but it's only been going up since the news broke. I've received one e-mail already from a company I order from that said they aren't accepting BTC payments until further notice (most likely not until after the split). But then companies like BitPay announce they won't suspend payments and it will be business as usual because the risk of theft/fraud won't be that high (albeit significantly higher than before the split). From what I read, there will be about a 24 hour window where people can fake bitcoin payments under the right conditions so it's recommend to wait 30 confirmations on August 1st to be sure the payments are legit.

    It did impact the price of bitcoin, for a bit, someone dropped 1000 bitcoin, and it dropped to $2,5xx

    afterwards people realized if BCC is supported you get the same amount of BCC as the amount of BTC you have, so Bitcoin has been rising since everyone has been dropping their Altcoins to make money in BTC for after the york and captialize on the gains of BCC.

    PETA will share its virtual reality experiences — which include immersive videos allowing audiences to “see, feel, and hear what it’s like to be a chicken facing danger from the food industry or to take a swim with a grieving orca mother whose baby was stolen from her and forced to live in a tiny tank,” ...  Attendees will have the opportunity to experience firsthand these horrors of animal cruelty, through PETA’s I, Chicken VR video, as well as I, Orca. In I,Chicken, viewers take the point of view of a roosting chicken, first enjoying their time in a field with their flock, and later getting put into a truck to slaughter. The effect of watching the video, Rogers estimates, is that 20 percent of those who view I, Chicken will vow to stop eating animals.
     

     

    My thoughts: I'm interested to see how people use demonstrating an important issue to people. This is just an example of what can be done.

    even cheaper; mow a lawn for 20$ or something, It'll go much further being able to upgrade it in the future; even the future proofing is enough of a reason to spend a little extra for it.

    That's okay however it lacks multi threading, still would put it above a fx 6300 though

    (don't actually know if BB format still works)
    Shouldn't get a 5 year old platform even if you can't wait, you'll get more out of an Intel build that's at least upgradable in the future. It's highly not recommended even in a low price range
