Title: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: Schirer on November 14, 2017, 08:39:23 PM Recently I have seen several news articles that China may crackdown on miners.
Like this one https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/china-bitcoin-ban-to-extend-to-low-cost-mining-local-report/ What are the potential consequence on BTC market if this happens? Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: gentlemand on November 14, 2017, 08:42:51 PM It's already been refuted.
If it did happen hypothetically the Bitcoin market could go either way. It's clear that Chinese miners are nothing but a tumour feeding off BTC and slowly murdering it so perhaps it would be seen as a positive development. However we also need them for functionality, though there are many miners elsewhere. If it did happen my vote goes to short term panic, long term positive. They need to go.

Now consider that people in China are banned from mining. What will happen if we lose them?

And I think it is possible that in long term it would mean that transaction fee would go up even more. Since the mining power would shift to more wealthier countries which would need more money to make their mining operations fee sable. Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market?

Post by: hahahafr on November 14, 2017, 08:57:23 PM Obviously that it can not happen! omg, this could just be a mess if this happen, but it has been rejected by the entire government and from a lot of people.
There is no way to see it happening because bitcoin could be dead because of this, the whole mining hashrate is coming from china, and we all know that. Transactions will take more than hours to get confirmed, and more than now. I saw before that China was more than 35% of bitcoin total miners, and this could be true, because all the fud and mess with bitcoins comes from there.

Chinese mining makes up a huge proportion but it's not the be all and end all. You have operations like Bitfury that have never been anywhere near China. Bitcoin might lose 50-60% of hash rate which is a pain but far from fatal. But that's ignoring the obvious one which is - the Chinese miners would stick all their gear in a truck and become Russian or Thai miners instead. Plenty probably won't make the move, but you can bet Bitmain certainly will which might make those tossers even more powerful than they are now.

Post by: Rotellian on November 14, 2017, 09:03:03 PM well we seem to have lost 30% of the hashing power somewhere, its simply not mining anything, which is weird cos thats a lot of money being lost, who knows why that it is.

Post by: gentlemand on November 14, 2017, 09:08:42 PM What's wrong specifically with them? Aren't they miners like all other miners, whichever country they happen to be from? Centralisation. China has the cheapest power, cheapest labour, cheapest property and most hardware production and design facilities. If there was another country with that then we'd be moaning about that country. It makes Bitcoin vulnerable to influence by one country's laws, culture and companies. It's the way of the world so it's not going away any time soon. Bitcoin mining was intended to be spread globally to protect its properties. Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: SaShiRaJaVu on November 14, 2017, 09:13:00 PM This is just a news that has being in circulation but the power providers rejected this news and hence there is no need for speculation about it now.In a hypothetical way if there is a ban in mining from China there will a sharp decline in the hash rate as majority of the hash power comes out of China and even now the unconfirmed transaction are really high and it will cause network issues .
Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: East7547 on November 14, 2017, 09:13:51 PM This is still very much a rumour at the moment, if it does happen I think there will be a drop in price short term but will be a positive long term as will keep things decentralised as it should be
Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: Ilkap on November 14, 2017, 09:18:17 PM As always, the btc`s rate is slightly ahead of the news in mass sources, so you can see that the fall has already happened and it is very likely that the reason for this was the news from China

Yup. I assume miners elsewhere would behave just the same. If Canada was the cheapest miners would be all over it. As far as I know I've never heard of any significant miners in Canada. They say there are places in China where electricity is literally free. They've built hydro plants with no population centres to use them so all that power is pouring out doing nothing. Miners built mining farms right next to them. Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: btvGainer on November 14, 2017, 09:36:55 PM It's already been refuted.

I think that people will see that they can get in on the mining in other countries relatively soon because of cheaper electricity and they'll fill any voids relatively soon. Hopefully, anyway.
Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: skyline247 on November 14, 2017, 09:46:34 PM A mining ban in China will just cause BTC to become more decentralized in it's mining and it is prepared to do that as there are more and more new miners coming into play all the time. You have to be heavily invested though otherwise it is not worth it to be mining bitcoin. Regardless the ban doesn't matter because BTC always is resilient to these kinds of decisions made by countries since it's independent.
Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: rainbow169 on November 14, 2017, 10:03:49 PM The news currently reported is for Sichuan province, but there are a few other provinces, so unless every provence comes up with a ban, mining company will just migrate from one region to another. It will be a bigger problem if bitmain is banned which may leads to a short term panic and price drop and fee increase, after several difficulty adjustment it will make bitcoin much more easy to mine and more decentralised mining will be coming as well so long term this will be a good thing. I will also watch out on BCH as its a miner's currency backed by Jihan which will be impacted more should Jihan and others have to shut their business down.
Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: Raegorl on November 14, 2017, 10:07:36 PM There are plenty of chinese millionaires, and in case something like this does happen (a forced ban on crypto or mining in general), i think they would just move their mining farms and rigs to another country and China would end up losing in lots of taxes and market share... I think they'd be foolish to ban crypto, the smartest choice would be fully embracing it before any other worldwide potency does.

Post by: MickeyT2008 on November 14, 2017, 10:47:05 PM Wow this made me think a lot about it, if China falls and if they are not going to be mining bitcoin anymore, then look at how many consequences it could have on bitcoin.
The hashpower will be almost over, because the own most part of the hashrates that bitcoin has at the moment, and this could be critical for the whole crypto market in general. obviously that it all will affect bitcoin, but i dont know how can the price reacts, maybe it will drop a lot. Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: scottykarate on November 14, 2017, 10:52:00 PM Wouldn't they come up with a way to get the regular people an incentive to mine it again?
Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: lazygin001 on November 14, 2017, 10:52:31 PM I think it is going to happen as Chinese government would always want control of what they are doing with the country's finance and unfortunately Bitcoin is just getting too big for them.

Bitcoin just topped $4400 for the first time since in over 3 weeks and has now erased all of the plunge losses from Jamie Dimon's "it's a fraud" and China's shuttering of all local exchanges. Quote It didn't take long for the world of crypto-currencies to shrug off Jamie Dimon's self-tighteous denigration of the decentralized currency that could directly 'disrupt' his cash cow businesses; and furthermore, as The South China Morning Post reports, China's bitcoin market alive and well as traders defy crackdown. Although the crackdown has dissuaded large swathes of less-experienced investors from participating in the trade, market participants point to the limits Chinese regulators ultimately face in controlling the industry, where many users are anonymous and difficult to track. In the short-run, the crackdown has also created an arbitrage opportunity for investors, with the price of bitcoin in China now trading at a discount to overseas exchanges. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-01/bitcoin-surges-above-4400-world-realizes-jamie-dimon-china-dont-matter China mining ban = more for the rest of us, hooray... Any government ban on any Bitcoin activity in which their citizens actually comply, will be a detriment to her country's peoples as all others in the world will move up in wealth leaving her country's peoples behind. It is a reason to weep and feel sad for those people. Quote effects on market? Bitcoin has hit escape velocity 4 years ago in 2013, at this point, even if China, USA, Russia, India all get together and announce universal ban on Bitcoin, it still do near-nothing to stop adoption, strengthening and increase of Bitcoin.

Post by: DyllanGM on November 15, 2017, 12:12:01 AM I think this would encourage a lot of miners to open small scale mining without the trouble from giant mining rigs from China monopolizing bitcoin mining. I wouldnt worry about this at all.
Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: timikulit on November 15, 2017, 12:27:28 AM Killing bitcoin miners will kill bitcoin standing in the market.
If this mining ban happens in china, we will experience a high pending transaction again just like what happened last week but in a massive scale. However, it seems this mining ban is not yet final and i dont think china government want to lose his position in bitcoin https://www.coindesk.com/state-owned-power-provider-denies-chinese-bitcoin-mining-ban-rumors/ Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: namjar on November 15, 2017, 12:31:19 AM It will kill bitcoin for sure, just think about how much chaos it can create.
the most hashrate of bitcoin is allocated in there, it would mean that all the transactions would take an eternity in order to get confirmed, if now we have to wait 8 hours to receive six confirmations, without China we might have to wait more than 12 hours to get all those transactions confirmed. It was rejected anyway, so it is not going to happen because it can collapse the whole bitcoin technology. Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: cryptocrusher on November 15, 2017, 12:32:28 AM I do not think this is happening as others have said, but if it did then I would guess the effects would be a little something like this - price would dump initially and then over time start to recover as more miners were found across the world to replace those of China. Longer term it could be good as Chinese miners kind of have a monopoly currently.
Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: plr on November 15, 2017, 12:35:47 AM If it happens, it will be a very big problem. Now there are a lot of unconfirmed transactions that caused the fee to be very high. Now consider that people in China are banned from mining. What will happen if we lose them? In my opinion that will give other miners a good opportunity to direct their mining rigs to bitcoin since the big network of miners are not mining bitcoin anymore, we all know bitcoin started as cpu mining until the big mining company of China came Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: RamonBTC on November 15, 2017, 12:37:34 AM Is it the second wave of china manipulation on bircion price, banning ICO and exchanges closure last September that the price down to 2800$. Then now when the transaction fees increases and china will make a move to ban mining. Then they should do it now or it wont work the way to they're favor as happened before.
Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: CoinREAPER21 on November 15, 2017, 12:56:28 AM China's decisions are just a hoax. It was all temporary, I'm pretty sure of that. I might say that they are also doing business with cryptocurrency underground. Sooner or later, we will all be shock when China became a crypto destination 2-3 years from now or when BTC reached $20k.
Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: fleachain on November 15, 2017, 01:12:23 AM I think it is good in the long run as the overall output will decrease and the mining costs in other countries will be very high.

1. mempool backlog is INDEPENDENT of hashing power. Stop thinking the unconfirmed backlog is due to hashrate. 1% of current hashpower can mine 100 times the current mempool backlog. The bottleneck is totally due to blocksize bandwidth. Every 10mins, there is only x number of transactions that can fit, so it does not matter how much hashpower is involved. It's like you have a robot that can solve 10,000 rubics cubes an hour but you only supply 100 scrambled rubics cubes per hour to the robot. The rest sits in mempool dumpster scrambled and waiting to get thru that 100cube an hour limit. This limit in bitcoin is the blocksize limit. There is adaptive algorithm to change difficulty every couple thousand blocks to cater for any change in mining power. Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market?

Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: Ctn on November 15, 2017, 02:26:21 AM As you know this thing is really very old and it already had its effect on the bitcoin back in sept-oct. Now the community has recovered from it with full fledge and whatever you are seeing currently the major ups and little downs are the effects of BCH stuff. Everyone is aware how this coin is being manipulated an leading to many people to get confused between bitcoin and BCH thing. Anyway China mining was old thing and it actually has given rest of the world opportunity to get stronger in the race as they don’t have biggest competitor in the race now. So more fees, more advantages and more shared profits for them. Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market?

Since china is one of the biggest and one of the power house in Asia. They can influence the public by banning the mining of bitcoin in their country, which leads to a negative effect. Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: loof99 on December 12, 2017, 06:39:40 PM I think since china did something fraud that’s why they are going to ban. There will be no effect since the company and management of bitcoin has no participation on that activity;
therefore they don’t have negligence in that situation. Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: Ucy on December 12, 2017, 06:56:47 PM Chinese leaders won't dare ban anything Crypto related this time around. I bet they regret those ban on Bitcoin and ICOs.
Surprisingly South Korea followed sheepishly. No government will be able to regulate Crypto in the end unless they impose Biometrics on people. Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: harbin55 on December 13, 2017, 06:11:43 PM The government does not tolerate all illegal actions that happen. I think that is the reason why the mining in china was banned.

Title: Re: Potential mining ban in China, effects on market? Post by: BingoDog on December 13, 2017, 06:17:23 PM China has the bigest and probably the most powerful mining farms so such ban would influence the market. But only on short term, temporary because chinese miners definetely wouldn't give up mining bitcoin they would just relocate their equipement so at the end that wouldn't have significant effect. I suggest not to panic and be paranoid before anything has even happened or there are solid information about it.
