I've been hearing horror stories about transaction times for months. Have I just been lucky??
I've been using Bitcoin for over 4 years, dozens of times a week and I have never had a transaction taking longer than a day. Not even from greedy/terribly setup exchanges with 0 fees. Anecdotal evidence? Sure, but so are the horror stories. Checking back at the last month my trsansaction fees were 180 satoshis per byte on average and I never had any issues. I don't think I had any transaction taking over 2-3 hours to get confirmed. But then again I don't use dozens of accounts to send funds from - which all Bitcoin users should understand, along with the fact the Bitcoin is not intended for dust transactions for a long while now (which is completely fine). |

ZEC is crazy profitable right now but if you're a seasoned miner you know that you can't build on it for a long time, not even for 3 months.
But then again the 10800 Mhs X11 miner is even better, in fact it's a ridiculously profitable miner with a whole lot of smoke and mirrors surrounding it.
In fact, it's so profitable that currently it would only take 20 days to reach ROI, using the average, $6200 price. As I said before, let's just think for a second and ask who would sell such a crazy profitable miner instead of using them?
The answer is no sane person.
No self respecting miner I have spoken to even remotely considering buying one. A couple of promises and videos are not proof in this day and age and then there are the other red flags...

Maybe you have a malware that starts mining when you're AFK for a while, or maybe the miner slows down due to a bug, in which case you should use another miner or set up a system that restarts the miner periodically.
Use a software that monitors your GPU and CPU usage over night.

The message about bittrex delisting caused such a price drop?
Safe to say I think. 100% of the trade volume was there. |

BitcoinZ is a terrible name imo.

What would happen to the value of your altcoin if Poloniex delisted it?
Or Bittrex for that matter. Both of them have too much control over which coins live (in case of a random listing) or dies. They should at the very least just have a warning that they want more volume from the coin so their communities could chip in. Optimally, they should have clear rules and conditions to keep coins listed (average volume, wallet stability, node count, etc.) so there would be no surprises. |

The answer if NONE. I learnt my lesson back in 2013 - alts either pump and crash for good, or they go up and down in massive occilations. My advice is that if you have bought an alt and it's in good profit, take those profits.
...and then beat yourself up when you realize you could have earned much more by holding than selling for a few slices of pizza. It's not 2013 anymore, crypto as a whole is way more popular so there's room for alts. And you can't do everything with one coin anyway (e.g. BTC is not good for very small transactions). You mean there are lots more speculative bubbles in crypto. None of the alts stay up for long, most cycle up and down as they pump and dump. And some just do a single pump and then a long dump. Don't hold alts for long - you'll just find yourself a bagholder. It's fine being a bagholder of dozens of coins if one or two of those coins goes up like 100x or even higher. Most people sell off coins with low profit (1.2x-2x) instead of waiting for the mega pump. It's all personal preference though. |

More nodes is generally better but the bottleneck might not be coming from nodes but from your HDD's write speed or internet connection. Or it could just be poor sync optimization of the wallet.
But then again, 3-4 nodes are not much. I prefer to have 8-10.

Let me get this straight; - 10800 Mhs X11 miner that only uses 728 watts; - at $6750 that comes down to about 23 days to hit ROI at $0.10 kWh as per coinwarz; - proof is 1(?) sketchy video; - paying to a private group. After the second point I'm not sure why anyone with half a brain would even consider this. Why would anyone sell such a retardedly profitable miner to anyone instead of printing money themselves? |

Got the same a few minutes ago, just deleted it in like 2 seconds.

I joined a captcha-solving team yesterday and have earned 19.36 Mrai so far. How much USD or Bitcoin does that equal to? I searched on Google and didn't find an online calculator. I would appreciate if someone could teach me how to calculate that. Thanks.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/raiblocks/19.36 x 0.00001157 = 0.00022400 Bitcoins or 19.36 x 0.0016978 = $0.032 |

I know virus total does bring up the odd false positive with these wallets...however... this wallet here (DONT INSTALL THIS ON YOUR MACHINE)https://mega.nz/#!nh8g3YBR!Pfbvi0XECXdjgaWZSSIxJ6yfyxgxtK24eZPNv2Kz0PY this wallet an old blocknet wallet... I said to a couple of people to look at this project and they think they have contracted something to worry about From the virus total out put does this look like a bunch of false positives or is there anything there to worry about? The new version wallet has no flags at all and they should have installed that one really. Virustotal is absolutely unreliably. It could show false positives (usually when solomining is present in the wallet) and it could also not show anything if a malware is encrypted. Always run wallets in a virtual machine, or on an unimportant machine with a throwaway OS or in a well configured sandbox with no read/write access to important folders (such as wallets and browser user files). |

There's a funny correlation between BU pretty much failing and the number of unconfirmed transactions going down right after. It's almost as if the network was spammed deliberately to promote BU...
you could try to spin it that way. but https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ tells everybody who is curious about that level of supplied fees - has been rising on average. once supplying 100 Satoshis has been a completely sufficient choice, to get through. now that drags you below 1380 minutes delay, up to infinity. I only track the number of unconfirmed transactions ( https://blockchain.info/q/unconfirmedcount) for a long time, several times a day and it definitely went down. Now it's at 19k and it was around up to 80k for a while and then a rapid drop. Graph: https://blockchain.info/charts/mempool-count?timespan=30days |

It would be much easier and faster to collect all the coins that doesn NOT have terrible initial distributions...

No way.
It would be a sad day if it would ever happen.
I think Eth is way overpriced as is
