Hooray, I was wrong on the time it would take to get my miner. They arrived this week. The first one came Thursday and the other the day after. I got the email saying they were on their way on Tuesday. That meant I had to quickly order an PSU to power them. I went with the Corsair CX750M from Amazon, which is running fine. Yes both miners are running as Bitmain advertised. After the trouble with BFL it is good to get something that work as it is supposed to.
I was watching the Great Debate this week concerning the future of Scotland. Though the press are saying that Mr Salmond lost the debate I don't agree. Then again some would say I am biased as I support the idea of Scotland going it alone. Why? Well for one the union hasn't been that great for us north of the border over the past three hundred years. Before the union almost all Scots were opposed to the idea. It only came about through threats from the Westminster Parliament of invasion and through the buying off of those trusted to protect Scotland. It wasn't long before those loyal to a free Scottish nation raised the flag of rebellion. Over the first forty years two major rising took place the last ended at Culloden. What followed was two years of slaughter by Westminster forces to ensure we never rose again. After this we seen the start of the Clearances that would last for the next one hundred and forty years. These of course this is all well before my time. But even in my life I have seen the lack of respect that Westminster shows to those that live north of the border, and yeah we do think of it as a border. The poll tax was one such instance as was the closing of Ravenscraig in the early nineties basically to save jobs south of the border. At least that is how it appeared at that time and I still believe that it was a vain attempt by the Iron Lady to save votes in England. Of course there are many other reason why I believe we as a nation would be better off freed from rule from London but I think that I've bored you enough. Sadly I don't know if we will achieve home rule as a free new nation. I only hope we do because I'm sure if we don't that London will find a way to punish us for trying to gain it. After all that is the lesson I have learn from seeing the history of the past thirty or more years unfold.
