I agree. It's become a big enough thing to warrant its own dedicated subforum.

The easiest way to accept bitcoin would be through Coinbase or Bitpay. They already have the tools made. Tell them to check out those options and reconsider it.

There's also the money transmission service. Sending bitcoins to anywhere in the world costs a fraction of Western Union, etc.

Negative interest rates? Then I guess it's a good time to get a loan?

Coindesk.com has good news articles about this topic. Other than that, Google is your friend.

Contact bitmain directly and let them know of the issue. They will most likely be able to fix it. Worst case, revert to the previous firmware.

Looks like you got scammed.

This isn't the correct area for this post. Regardless, how is anyone on here going to help you with a problem with bitstamp? You need to keep trying to contact them.
Sorry about your problem.

Nice looking site. However, it's going to be hard to get a lot of people to join. And when you don't have a lot of people in the pool, your chances of finding blocks will be very low, thus leading to invariable/unreliable payouts.

You won't make anything mining bitcoin with a CPU. With your current speed, you'll make 0.00000038 btc (aka $0.0001) in a month. This is not an exaggeration.

You should probably contact Bitmain directly. If there's a problem, you can RMA it.

I've updated my signature. It doesn't seem like you updated my renewal in your chart, though.

Uhh.... NO? You're thinking of Eclipse.

Re-enrolling.

Thanks

Use cgminer; it's still being supported. The developer of Guiminer is no longer around.

Building a miner isn't the same as building a PC. You should let the professionals handle it and buy from a manufacturer. Unless you have a background in this sort of thing, stick with professionally built miners.

Your electricity is cheaper than the average price, so you have an advantage. I'd also suggest trying to find a used miner. You'll pay much less than $1250. If you go that route, only deal with trusted users or use an escrow service.

Looks like you were way off.
Thankfully, the difficulty hasn't moved much in the last few weeks.

Don't use ghash. Anything else should be fine. I personally use eligius.

I hope you have those coins in cold storage. Having 50btc in a hot wallet would be very risky.
