I know people keep saying you're paying more in fees, but honestly, the fees are not high.  If you transfer to a coinbase account, there are not any fees other than the 2% that NH takes.

Comparing that to one of my rigs that is mining etn.  I'm paying 2% to the dev's to use xmr-stak, I'm paying 0.1% to SpacePool, I'm paying a fee when I transfer from my etn wallet to an exchange, I'm paying a fee to sell on the exchange, and I'm paying another fee to transfer from the exchange to coinbase.  Granted, some of those are very small fees, but they add up to more than 2%.

There is also the argument that you're losing out on profits in other ways, by using NH.  I agree that is the case sometimes.  There are cases when you mine a single coin for a couple of months and the value does a 2x or 3x or 10x or whatever.  

On the flip side, with NH, you're paying 2% flat and getting paid in BTC, which can go up or down in value just as easily.

And then there is the argument just maybe you shouldn't trust NH after the hack and that is a very valid one.  You can mitigate the risk by making sure you're withdrawing to coinbase as soon as your wallet hits 0.003btc.  I believe that is the min withdraw amount from a NH wallet anyway.

I certainly think beginners should be learning the ropes and learning how to mine singles and trade on some of the other exchanges outside of coin base, learn to manage other wallets, ect.  Coinbase and NH make it extremely easy to forget about all of that stuff, but knowledge is a powerful tool.  Look at all of the people who had no idea what to do when NH went down.  They had zero knowledge, no backup plan, nothing.

So use NH or don't use NH for whatever your reasons are, but no matter what, don't stop diving deeper and learning new things.  You'll thank yourself for it later.

 

If you sent an email to Bitmain, don't expect a response within the next 60 days.  You may never get a response ... Lol.  But if you buy hardware from them, it will show up.  They are legit, but they don't have good customer service.

Lol.  He said he was a student.  A kindergarten student maybe?

Space pool is legit too.  Not sure what the pool fees are at the others, but it's only 0.6% at Spacepools.  I've been using them for about a month now.

You just made my top ten list of stupid mother fuckers that come in here asking to be spoon fed and have their ass wiped.  Not tech savvy ... BUZZ ... I have a Mac ... BUZZ ... I have a few thousand to spend ... BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ ... We have a fucking winner folks! Oh yes, here he is ... Big balls on this one I tell you.

Did you want me to give you a hand job too or just the spoon feeding and ass wiping going to be sufficient?

Lol.  You're gonna make a lot of that magical fucking internet money some day ... I can just tell.

Did your mom buy you a new puter for Christmas or somethin?

I would never buy gpu's from Alibaba.  They are probably fakes.

Nothing in life is free.

Your safest bet is to buy directly from Bitmain.

I'm not at all tempted to go that far.  Maybe when they get their shit together.

Sounds pretty lame to me.

I have a Vega rig and a couple of 1070ti rigs.  1080ti's are being delivered tomorrow.

I haven't been able to get my hands on any Vega's since late November.  You can buy them, but you'll pay way more than you should from a third party seller. 

I was able to get 12 1070ti's a few weeks ago.  Just ordered 6 1080ti's on Monday and they'll be here tomorrow. 

Be ready to buy when you get that email that they are in stock.  The 1080ti's that I just ordered were sold out in less than an hour.

Is that like a bitcoin casino?

It will be fine.

Let me ask my magic 8 ball.

And I thought everyone hated the mini's, because they have sleeve bearing fans?  I personally don't know and don't own any.  Just basing this comment on what I've read.

WTF?  You mean I won't become rich?  I quit! Lol.  Anyone tell me how to mine on iPhone, please?

Nice job if you bought it when it was ant.  Very nice job!
