No risk with this coin, we are expecting real price for this coin. This coin is very cheap for now.

I agree. As Ethereum keeps rising in price with an average of $1.02 per ETH we could expect to see the same with Expanse if we put ourselves together and make this the best Ethereum clone out there. Anything could be possible, so I expect a price of 1 to 2 USD per EXP.  Grin
11602  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][VTA] VirtaCoin|Launched July 1st|1.6 Mil. users|Formerly VirtaPay| on: December 15, 2015, 11:50:32 AM
Any activity or updates on Virtacoin? I have invested so much in it but haven't seen any real activity whatsoever (about development and improvements) on this thread. As far as it looks, I can see a very bright future for VTA as right now its marketcap has risen to becoming #98 in Coinmarketcap. Still, I'm going my stash of VTA daily with the hopes to see it sparkle someday in the future. Good luck!  Smiley

vtacoin is a shit coin, still cant be sold for 1 sat, even after about 6 years it is worth nothing. devs do not care about this coin and they never have.  dont waste your electric or computer time on it unless you like to see you have 1,000,000's coins, thats are worth nothing!

Well, there has been some movement in the price change of Virtacoin going up to $0.000035 since last time I checked yesterday. Also, it is now listed as #80 in market cap when you check out Coinmarketcap. Before that, it was much cheaper and its market cap ranking was lower than the one mentioned above. Still, it is not bad to hold a certain amount of Virtacoins on a wallet, as maybe someday it will revive in development and price would increase drastically. Then, it would have made some profit if this would have happened, but that cannot be predicted so all I could do now is to be patient.  Smiley

It's dumpy day on Bittrex, okay for total sales needed every day.
Not good for value of coin.
Lol bad time to sell XMG. Value is compared with raise of btc almost the same. Looks lower but calculated stable.

Yes. Magi's price has gone lower these days. I wonder why? But, I guess this is telling me to buy more XMG and stake them. After some time leaving my PC on with the wallet open, I have finally received my first stake....This is so cool.  Smiley

Uh oh m8s, look the scam warnings are coming out because someone is mad they didn't buy any EXP at 2k.

AltcoinScamfinder and Videodrome are obviously the same butthurt person.
price will be 40k its not problem

I have great hopes for Expanse. If devs could manage to bring fresh new ideas, and a solid user base to EXP, I'm pretty sure it could even surpass Ethereum. I'm so optimistic about it and thus I have been buying small amounts of EXP everyday to grow up my stack for the future.  Grin

And don't forget Pacman too. It would be so cool to play these classics on a machine which would accept Bitcoins. But if this cannot be achieved, what about earning Bitcoins playing these games? I would become so addicted to such thing.  Cheesy

And it keeps going up to the moon. I bet that next year would be one where the price of each CSC would be even higher than it is right now. I expect to see prices from 1 to 2 USD.  Grin

and here we are up again Smiley
looks like expanse gaining interest

I agree with you mate. And right now as they are cheap, it is best to buy some more. You will never know when you would miss a great opportunity to make some profit.  Wink

I'm hoping for Exp to be worth around 1 to 2 USD.
11608  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin get faster transactions like Litecoin? on: December 13, 2015, 10:16:23 PM
I know how disappointing it is for having to wait around 15 to 30 minutes for a Bitcoin transaction to get confirmed by the network. But I think faster transactions could be achieved if devs decide to improve the code. Just look at Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum. They have faster confirmation times and some good features. I have no doubt that Bitcoin will be improved in the near future and it will remain as the top crypto currency.
What do you think about it?  Smiley

Bitcoin isn't meant to be an instant transfer. It's meant to be a SAFE one. Think of it as being like virtual gold.

So the slower confirmation time is the safer Bitcoins is? I guess that is better than having faster transactions at the cost of security. If I have to wait 15 minutes or even 30, then I would be patient. I could still pay a higher fee to speed up transactions, but I will stick to wait a little longer. At least it is faster than Banks.  Cheesy

Been mining this on my RPi2, love it! Wink

It is a hell of a lot of fun when you mine XMG with your Raspberry Pis. I have four of them and can't stop mining and staking XMG. Also, I use the computers at college for this task. It is so great to mine XMG while doing my homework.  Cheesy

This week we seemed to have gone from 3900 to 8600. So who are the fools who keep selling coins at these prices?

Yup keep buying them still dirt cheap Smiley

By the looks of it, maybe CasinoCoin would get to be worth more than 1 USD in the future. So now it is the perfect time to dig in and buy a bunch of them for Xmas! I would probably have over 10 thousand CSC by that time.  Smiley
11611  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Affordable motherboard for GPU mining? on: December 13, 2015, 10:06:14 PM
You want to look at two motherboards and probably those two only:
ASRock H61 Pro BTC and ASRock H81 Pro BTC.
The main difference between them is the CPU socket.

These motherboards can easily handle 6 cards but you'll need PCI-E risers. I'd highly recommend only using powered USB risers and avoiding ribbon risers at all costs.

If you want a motherboard in which you can put cards without risers you're going to have to reach deep into your pocket and even then you'll probably run into thermal throttling with some beefier cards if they are that close together.

Feel free to ask anything about mining here on in pm.

Thank you mate! You helped me choose a decent motherboard to use for GPU mining. There is a little concern that I have and that is once everything is set up, how do I configure the mining process. In this case, how could I configure CGminer to use all 6 GPUs for example?  Grin

Both windows and linux should recognize the cards without any issues. Though I'm not familiar with cg/sgminer it's probably just a command line argument. But you may want to look into the documentation of the miner because there will be tons of settings you'll have to get familiar with.

Thanks for your reply. I will just take a look at the available commands to get started in this business. It is a very exciting world out there for a miner (at least I think)  Smiley

It is exciting and a great hobby but it's not very profitable anymore. ROI is well over a year for most miners with average electricity costs.

Could it be profitable if I don't need to pay for electricity costs? Let's say I use solar and wind power for all my miners...will it still be profitable? Anyways, I  don't mind since I will only do it for fun.  Grin

It can be profitable with average electricity but with free electricity it's much more profitable. Let's say a 6 card rig with modern GPUs use 1000W. With $0.13 kWh you're going to pay $3.12 a day or $93.6 a month. The cards together would make very roughly about $5-8 a day before electricity. So yeah, electricity matters a lot. These are just wide estimations, maybe someone with AMD cards could chip in.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the electricity costs. For now, I don't have to pay for electricity because I am living with my parents. Until then, I will figure out a way to pay for less electricity in the future.  Cheesy

Already been done, I remember a picture with an arcade machine running what probably was mame, and you were able to pay and play games on it, it had the street fighter cabinet, I will try to find the picture.

Edit: Anyway couldn't find that one but I have found this:



This is great and all, but wouldn't you have to wait a long time to start playing the games. This is where fiat or a credit card becomes very handy. Bitcoin just can't do all the things that fiat can and vise versa, thats why we need both in the world.

Well, if Bitcoin cannot be used due to its slow confirmation times, what about faster ones like Litecoin, Dogecoin or even Ethereum. It will be really interesting to see such payments done on an arcade machine. I am just eager to play one like that or own one.  Cheesy
11614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] LiteDoge - such Community coin | no premine | very fast | much profit on: December 12, 2015, 08:46:22 PM

Great, thanks for the information! The staking reward looks great and I will follow your advice regarding doing so with my Raspberry Pis. Is there any way I could keep up to date with current stake reward? How do I see that on the wallet?  Grin

Also, a good idea would be to avoid staking your coins in just one block. If, for example, you want to stake 30 million coins, it would be better to move them into your wallet with 10 transactions of 3 million each, to increase chances of staking. A single 30 million coins transaction would enable you to stake once and then wait for confirmation till you are eligible to stake again.

I didn't knew that. Thanks for the information mate! I guess I need to familiarize myself with PoS coins, as I mostly mine PoW ones. I will try this at home and see the results.  Grin

What do you think about it?  Smiley

im not sure your understanding how crypto currencies work, to change the confirmation time of Bitcoin would be to change Bitcoin, which would probably destroy it at this stage.  there are a set amount of Bitcoins to be created on a set time scale, with each confirmation.  Every 10mins 25BTC and after (roughly) July 2016 every 10 mins 12.5BTC and so on halving every 4 years.  

Can you see how lowering the confirmation time would be detrimental?  it would need to either create more Bitcoin or some confirmations would not create any bitcoin which miners need at this stage to reward them...... litecoin, dogecoin and ethereum are all set up with vastly greater amounts to be created.  For example litecoin confirms i think 4 times faster but also is set to produce 4 times more coins.  dogecoin and ether dont have any limet on the coins created as far as i am aware, all tho i do stand to be corrected on this one.  

21,000,000BTC is all that is ever going to be created, this is what makes each bitcoin valuable and scarce.

i find it really strange that someone who is a full member on bitcointalk dosnt understand this Huh Huh Huh confirmation times on bitcoin will never be changed

I understand what you mean. Even though I am a full member, I still have a lot to learn about Bitcoin (technical stuff) before deciding to make something useful (like a Bitcoin application) It is still great to see members of the community helping each other in the time of need. I need to do a lot of research regarding technical stuff of crypto currencies.  Cheesy
