  • Let me address your concerns.

    Leaving their hand and going into mine is about as instant as it gets.

    Excel and open source equivalents exists.

    Buy a safe and keep your damn mouth shut.

    Don’t be a criminal, or don’t do 2 crimes at once.

    Production cost is irrelevant to how fast the currency goes from person to person.

    Any currency will have a lag for economic stimulus. That’s not a currency issue it’s a human emotion and thought issue.

    I can go to the next state and pull out a thousand dollars in cash, come back, pay for my stuff, and now it is practically impossible to tell who has what bill, when they got it, what it was used for, or anything else about it after it left the bank. Your mechanic and grocery store don’t catalog the serial number on every bill they get for every transaction.






  • If it is UL listed, and installed properly: yes.

    Installed properly means that the wire feeding it is sized properly and all connections are torqued to spec.

    If listed receptacles weren’t designed for use at their rated amperage, then there’s no point of getting it tested and listed by an independent laboratory, and there would be many more electrical fires in factories than there are.

    The problem is that most people will just slap the absolute cheapest shit they can find together however they feel.



  • The safety is built in.

    A 50 amp circuit should only be loaded to 80% of its rated load for continuous use (the NEC defines this as anything longer than 3 hours). So 50X0.8=40A is safe to draw for longer than 3 hours. The 20% buffer is there to account for load increases like the inrush current from a dryer heating element kicking on and off, or the motor starting and stopping.

    Any receptacle rated for a 50 Amp circuit will also meet this requirement if installed properly. If you’re doing this shit, but a fucking torque wrench, because this shit does have torque requirements.
