101  Bitcoin / Mining support / Antminer update issue on: June 14, 2017, 09:45:12 PM
flashed a s3 with this file from the website.

antMiner_S320141013.bin   update cgminer to v4.6.1;
update miner status page; MD5: 87707C617911E6ABF0870040F773354D

All went well miner loads up seems to be hashing ok but there is one error loading on one of miner config page there is a error at the top of the page it says.

This page contains the following errors:
error on line 348 at column 34: EntityRef: expecting ';'
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.





should I reflash the image?
102  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are we going to 5,000 $/btc ? on: June 14, 2017, 09:34:00 PM

It won't becausee there is too much hapenning with Bitcoin at the moment.

Still no scalability fix and our Bitcoin just got threatened by Jihan because of the UASF coming soon on August 1st.
https://blog.bitmain.com/en/uahf-contingency-plan-uasf-bip148/

Considering all that has happened recently, I imagine that Bitcoin is only alive because it is the pioneer in the world of cryptocurrencies and is already accepted and stamped as the "virtual currency" all over the world. Just compare Bitcoin with other currencies in the market and you will see how expensive our fees are, how slow our transactions are and how divided our community is, which ends up destroying the currency and its growth in the future.

I imagine we could have hit the $5000 some time ago if it wasn't for all this problems keeping Bitcoin's growth stuck.

Keep your Bitcoin, but also buy promising coins like Dash, Decred and Litecoin just in case.

So what is the exactly will happened on August 1?  What are some of the effect that it will give to bitcoin?

Is the price decrease now prior to the date have higher chances or just a FUD to take profits? We compare bitcoin fees now to other cryptos because other cryptos doesn't have a high price today and demands and usage are not too much.



So, what will happen on Aug 1st 2017?

Well, the basic story is that a majority of the bitcoin nodes will try to force the miners to implement a protocol upgrade proposal called BIP148.

They will try to do this to end the stalemate between the various parties in the block size debate which has stalled the evolution of Bitcoin over the last year or so.

Transaction fees are very high right now because of this.
This may play out in a couple of different ways but basically, your main concern should be a possible chain split after a fork.

 A chain split will result in two different tokens. This happened to Ethereum last year and it has happened to other cryptocurrencies too.

If you don’t control your keys during a chain split three main things may happen:

Your bitcoin balance will stay the same and you will be able to use that bitcoin token as usual.
Your bitcoin balance will be zero over night since your wallet chose the wrong chain
Your wallet provider will offer you a chance to keep your token balance on both chains or to choose one of them

If you do control your keys you will have the same balance on both chains and you will be able to trade one for the other, effectively increasing your total bitcoin balance. In the case of a chain split there’s a big chance that bitcoin will lose its value, however. Either way, you’re better off knowing what you’re doing and in Bitcoin there’s no way of faking that. Now go on and educate yourself! Google BIP148, Segregated Witness, cold storage, soft forks and hard forks! It’s your donkey that’s on the line!

Stay careful, this might be a real bear this time!

I agree.  From what I watch in the markets I am starting to see a trend in the money flow index X volume,  I think we could have some manipulation in the markets to keep us at this mark.
I think before we see any more sharp rising. we are 100% guaranteed a setback in the price.

Be careful.

400000 SIM cards and only three men? That's insane! It's people like this that brings bad reputation to Asian countries.
Ah, this is epic. What I want to know is how the fuck they were pulling this off. 3 people can't manage this many identies, even peripherally. I feel there was more people involved in this, they might have busted them when the full crew wasn't present.

If anything, these guys get a cookie. In my book, they weren't doing anything illegal, and effort of this caliber always deserves compliment Wink

The data those guys used. Sweet Jesus the data those guys used.


Agreed.  100% cookie for the effort. shame really they could of come up with a fantastic marketing network if they had thought about it and not been pony to these alleged Chinese companies,

so by renewable? you mean after you use the energy, you can use it again?  Grin

JK!  Good luck on your project

In future, we will be looking to add miners with better hash rates and possibly split the work 50/50 between TX mining and lotto mining.

107  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Bitcoin Mines in Chinese Province Sichuan Allegedly Forced to Shut Down on: June 12, 2017, 10:27:38 PM
I seem to remember rumblings about miners not buying electricity via the formal routes being shut down in the past.

Anyway, considering what they did to exchanges this should come as no surprise. Miners are effectively printing money. The Chinese government is going to have something to say about that considering they've come heavily down on its buying and selling. I expect plenty more of this.

If Chinese mining is either regulated to death or becomes so government controlled that the rest of the network wants nothing to do with it that can only be good news for the rest of us.

In what manner would it be better,  let's say China regulated via the state mining operation's surely that would then be classed as centralized. and how would the network reconfigure to shun mining operations from a nation state?
108  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Bitcoin Mines in Chinese Province Sichuan Allegedly Forced to Shut Down on: June 12, 2017, 01:34:11 PM
Not a very promising read if you ask me

Reports have emerged detailing the alleged forceful cessation of large-scale bitcoin mines in China’s southwest, with insiders quoting a lack of state-sanctioned regulatory policy regarding cryptocurrency mining as the official reasoning cited for such.

In other words, this project is looking for investors to invest in wind-powered electricity that will be used predominantly in coin mining?

It seems somewhat interesting. Maybe you could incorporate solar-powered energy as well?

btw, there is a typo on the about page: "...green renewable energy to sustain it's own network!"

Thank you for the report I will have it check and changed.

The platform with first be trialed at an existing turbine site. the housing of miners for multiple currencies and servers will be housed in conjunction with deep cell tech power storage units.

We will be looking to fund our own turbine via funding with E-3 tokens and hash funding model.

Each token would allow the holder a % stake in future revenue from not only the turbines electricity generation but also the mining operations within!
Lifespan of turbine 25+ years There will always be a demand for electricity and supplement electricity not used by the mine or server operations can be sold to the national grid securing income for investors is a key aspect of the project and notwithstanding this its a project that can have real world impact and possibly help push bitcoin to the world, when clean green energy can be made it give bitcoin and crypto something worthy and world changing to put its name to.

More information will become available in the next few weeks and we look forward to posting regular updates from the site.

interest project But I'm still confused how is work ecological solution

Term "ecological problems/solution " is used to describe different environmental problems.

We could have gone for environment solutions but Ecological problems cannot solve them without political support or backing of the many.

It's great to see that there are more and more projects that are now trying to aspire in caring for our environment.
And this is one of them. And from the sound of it, how they presented their ANN is pretty serious in achieving their goals.
Wishing now a successful journey in this crypto era!


We fell that the wasteful use of power to sustain the network at the moment is a terrible drain on a resource that's becoming ever more expensive and also damaging the environment.

There are solutions out there and we want to push at the forefront of the sector and show that this technology can not only change the wasteful usage of power but also show the world that crypto has many many positive factors this one being the ability to create clean, renewable energy whilst sustaining the network with no impact to the environment.

Not only that the potential incomes from electricity generation will also secure investors earnings for up to 30 years (life of the turbine)

Bitcoin and ALT's have the power to change the world. Not only in finance but in renewable energy! and that's something we should all strive to do for future generations.

Bitcoin laid its foundation on finance, Now let it make its mark on the world's environment for the better!

Tokens are issued to users for hashing power.  
The tokens allow the user to then claim there stake in the profits generated from the sale of electricity back to the grid or claim income from the mining operation.
Each token value will determine the % value a token holder can claim back.

As shown on the table the general average income for 1 3MW turbine is around £250k - 400k GBP Per year.  assuming all the power is donated to the national grid.




Each stage of investment allows users to invest in a project that has dual income potential and not only this but has a real world impact to the environment in the process.

The tokens work like bonds, You own X=amount E-3 Tokens.

Example
User holds 200,000 E3 Tokens - We take the tokens and divide the amount of tokens by the mine income example below ie,  The mine earned 3.5000 BTC that month give us the figure of. 57142.85714285714.  We take that number and divide it by the average wind speed for that year 7.0 MP/s with gives us 8163.265306122449 we then again divide that value by the amount of tokens held by the user which is 200,000 which give you 0.04081632 which is the monthly % you will receive of the income.

200,000 / MineIncome = Month - X=3.50000 BTC  /AverageYearWindspeed=7.0MPS / TokensHeld- 200,000 = 0.04081632%

So the mine income was 3.5000 BTC @ today's price - 3.5000 BTC = £6100
The electrical income for that month would be on average £23,750

We take the total income from the mine & electrical power generation add them together then take your % figure of  0.04081632 %  of the total income £29850 = £12.18

Not to forget the tokens are 25 Year tokens that is 300 months! this example user would earn in there contract lifetime of 25 years at today's rates £3654.

Further to this expansions of the project will be steady over the course of the years ahead allowing for potentially much higher earnings for holders that stated above in the example,

For the income shown above a user would of supplied 300 TH for 1 week hashing power to our pool,  at today's rates of mining they would of mined approximately  $1,662.55 or Ƀ 0.6563 so the initial funding part of the project from miners should be quite clear they would be holding tokens that can guarantee then income from not only mining but electrical power. guaranteeing income for the next 25 Years!

There are a limited amount of tokens that will be issued over the funding periods.

As the video below shows there is massive investment into this sector at the moment with the planets ever greater need for power and as bitcoin users and miners we feel we should be seen to be making effort to clean up the industry we have created.  We spend 1000's of hours debating code changes and block sizes, segwit,  But where is the talking about the environmental impact this is having?  or even how can we possibly change it..

Bitcoin has changed the world of finance, But its next job is to create a fully sustainable, renewable mining operation that can secure the network while not draining mother natures resources in the process.

Each token with become your stake in clean, green electricity program allowing the holder to claim there investment back over 25+ years while receiving a % income from the sale of electricity back to the national grid. Further more users will be able to steak a small claim in the mining operation splitting there tokens between electricity generation and income from the mining operation..

In the current economic climate investing in wind power is one of the few areas where a secure long-term income is available. Provided that good quality sites are selected and developed using good quality hardware, the returns can be extremely attractive.

This will open the energy sector income to investors which is something that is groundbreaking in the industry.

To offer hashing power to level 1 funding please contact us at  https://investex.pro/contact   for help advice or just for a quick chat regarding the above offer.

Please be aware you should contact us before pointing power at the pools so we can confirm your place in the project and keep accurate records for the funding.

Tokens will also become available to buy in stage two of the project, Only 100 lucky investors in stage 2 will be accepted onto the program,

We feel funding the project with hashing power is the best method,  mining not only can help secure the future of green energy it can provide a sustainable source of electricity not only having a real world impact on the plant but securing the bitcoin network to mother nature!

Most definitely on the long, it's not quick trading.
You must be able to hold out for the right times in the market that is not to say you can make smaller short trades in the interim periods between tops and bottom,

Smarts are long for the tops and multiple shorts on the way down with possibly rebuys when there is sufficient stagnation in the market.

Time wise sometimes it's possible when there is high volatility to make this tactic work well for example,

Today's dash price.  there was a good chance of using this tactic today many times



Really it all depends on what market you trade in how you can set up this way of trading.  If its a volatile market use it aggressively
More passive long approach on more stale or slow to move markets.

The drive from new money flowing new miners starting and the vast amounts of trading going on between them it would bound to happen at some point.

119  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trying new trade setup combo, thoughts? on: June 11, 2017, 07:36:46 PM
I like to use the triple top method or triple bottom methods.

Investopedia is a great resourse for learning in seems you have already dose some digging into it anyway.

This little guide helps me a lot



Triple Tops: Identification Guideline

Price trend   Upward leading to the pattern.
Shape   Three peaks near the same price with a downward breakout.
Middle peak   Sometimes the middle peak is priced marginally below the other two.
Volume   Trends downward 59% of the time, but is usually high beneath formation of each peak.
Bear market   More triple tops appear in a bear market than in a bull one.
Confirmation   The pattern becomes valid when price closes below the lowest valley in the pattern.

Triple Tops: Trading Tips

Trading Tactic   Explanation
Measure rule   Compute the height from the highest peak (point B in the Measure Rule figure to the right) to the lowest valley (A) and then multiply it by the above “percentage meeting price target.” Subtract the result from the lowest valley (A) to get a price target (C).
Price reversal   Price must have something to reverse, so if the rise leading to the pattern is small, expect a small decline.
Confirmation   Wait for price to close below the lowest valley (confirmation, point A in the Measure Rule figure to the upper right) before placing a trade.
Peaks   When the last peak (point B in the Peaks figure to the right) is below the middle one (A), then expect a stronger decline. A lower top suggests weakness as price attempts to make a new high but fails.
Price velocity   A high velocity rise leading to the pattern often results in a larger decline post breakout.
Yearly high   Patterns in the highest third of the yearly price range perform best.
Volume trend   An upward volume trend suggests better post breakout performance.
Quick decline   A quarter of the tops reach the ultimate low in the first week after a breakout. A third bottom in less than 2 weeks.

This is confusing, why are we treating this like an illegal activity? Since when is it illegal to make money online, receive it in the bank, pay taxes on it, no matter how large the sum?

Are you guys saying that if my bank happens to ask, and I tell them the money is from an online investment they are going to shut me down?

I never said I want to be "undetected" I'm not doing anything illegal.

successful icos = my money

nothing's illegal, but there are countless cases of people being shut down despite everything being totally above board. blame all the endless money laundering laws.

as anyone here should know as soon as your crypto becomes fiat you no longer have any control of it.

I agree. Surely if you had that amount of crypto why make it all fiat?  also as he said once its out the wallet and in the banking system who knows what money laws might turn up and bite you.

It's happened many times before!
