If anyone sees this please read this and share your opinion:
I'm toying around with the idea of having a set group of people who I've personally deemed are high quality posters to continue to get paid per post count and branching off the campaign to allow anyone to join on and off instantly and use a PD3 referral link which will automatically credit their account (I'd likely boost the referral rate to something like 20%+ for those not being paid per post)
I'm confident doing this would greatly cut down on forum spam, while the very high quality posters who I select would have the option to continue the campaign as it exists privately or swap to a referral based payment.
This isn't at all decided, so feel free to weigh in.
My opinion: The spam of a few members is really awful. They use this campaign as a replacement for a regular work. I have no idea how anyone can post +10 constructive and informative postings per day. I think it would be much healthier to decrease the maximum number of valid posts per month depending in what user group you are. Personally, i can't stand to read these unproductive one-liners anymore. Just an example: Members: Payout for 50 posts per month (50 is also the minimum) Full Members: Payout for a maximum of 100 posts per month Sr Members: Payout for a maximum of 200 posts per month (to be honest, i witness the bad spam behaviour only from members and full members..) Hero Member: Payout for a maximum of 400 posts per month (no change - usually good quality) I think that would be a much more healthier approach to the spam problem. Personally, when i browse through the history of a few full members that are involved in this campaign, i really feel(and read) how hard they are trying to make their daily post count(+10) on a daily base. From a reader's point of view their postings look like work, that they don't enjoy. That is why the quality lacks big time. A reduction of the maximum valid posts would help to increase the quality imho. , what are your thoughts about my proposal? I would be sad to be cut out of your campaign just because of my user rank. You could decrease the maximum valid posts even more. For example: Members: 50 Full Members: 75 Sr Members: 150 Hero: no change that would theoretically reduce the amount of spammy posts a lot. What would happen after that change: Members and Full Members that like your campaign and post only productive posts without being spammy(up to 150 posts per month) still get a nice little "thank you" for advertising Primedice. The hardcore 400+ spammers would leave the campaign and join somewhere else. -> most problems solved without disallowing certain user groups to participate.greetings, Wex |

Monero is still pretty profitable "IF" you have cheap electricity - otherwise you pay more for electricity than you earn. Everything else is pretty much not profitable. I have no idea how some coins get their hashpower from, when you see how incredible unprofitable they are.
But i would advice you not to invest in a GPU farm. At least wait till the new gpu generation is released in a month. The new Maxwell GPUs might be really fast and electricity efficient.
My advice is: Wait till the new generation gets released. Buy ~2 good and fast cards and make yourself a nice gaming pc with a good 4core+hyperthreading cpu.(Broadwell release also at the end of this year/beginning of next year with 16 nm manufactoring process)
Monero is also a great cpu mining coin if you have a good cpu.
With this gaming rig you have a nice base for future games and you can mine at the same time. Buying GPU's just for mining is just really not worth it, i think you will never see ROI - unless bitcoin price explodes in the near future.
Personally, i am selling my last few GPUs and i am buying bitcoins/monero with the money.

Good thread! It is amazing how much more I enjoy reading posts by older members than those who have joined after 2013  Usually, those newer members are a lot more bearish. Of course, If you don't understand bitcoin and only watch the price, it will drive you nuts. I understand the fear on one hand from the newbies. That is why everyone tells you only to invest what you can afford to lose. While this is true now, you must consider we were all newbies at one point. The difference is the newbies that freak out and panic in times like these can't make it. They don't really get what's happening with Bitcoin, and they liquidate their position at a loss. This happens through every cycle. Those newbies from 2010, 2011, and 2012 aren't here anymore. The hero and legendary members you see today sitting on considerable valuations of coins kept their heads through the tough times. It's not like it was any easier for them the first time around. If anything it was more difficult, because there was much more uncertainty. Yes and we are "lucky" because we can watch the whole chart of the past. We(the new and current newbies) can learn from the mistakes of others. I learned it in a very conservative way. I was just reading old threads from the year 2011 and 2012. If you would erase the time stamp and the price numbers in these posts, you would think they are talking about the present price actions. This is also a great thread to get a summarization of the mistakes made in the past: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=163258.0 Btw, I live Germany and we tread bitcoin like a currency. Current law means if you buy a foreign currency and hold it for 12 months, without daytrading or anything related to increase your profits, then you get 0% taxing on your potential profits. |

As others have said, if you panic sell at the first sign of trouble then speculation / trading game is not for you.
Question you need to ask yourself is, can I afford to lose my btc investment? If the answer is no, then you should not be in this game and protect yourself by casing out in case things go badly. No one knows the future.
If the answer is yes, then you can afford to hold until you think is worth casing out and try not to panic sell and just wait to see. I will be holding my coins because :
people talk a lot about what is happening, but i look at market cycles. Unless BTC is fundamentally flawed (we all know its not) or will somehow be killed off (gvnt isnt that organised) then the market will go through these crazy cycles in the first years. Since most of the world does not yet use BTC, then as new markets move in, so do new buyers.
Imagine what the price would be once SAmerica, IndoAsia and AFRICA start jump on board. Since this hasnt happened yet, I think we are still on the bull trend. I think about 1-4% of the world uses BTC or is aware of it now, thats a lot of upside potential...
Anyway, my logic is (while on bull trend) price sets new higher highs followed by higher lows, then higher highs then higher lows etc. So, $1 low to $15 high, then $6 low to $250 high, then $50 low to $1200 high, then $400 (or 300 or 200 take your pick) means a new high of....
as long as, on this next low price happenig now, we dont go below 50$ (the last low before 1200 high) then we are still on bull trend:)
my bet is down to 350 now, then up to 800 by xmas. if Argentina jumps in, then 1500. If we get lucky in the next 8 months and some African nation jumps in, then new high of 2000 is my target:)
Question is can you afford to lose the money if this does not happen, and can you afford to WAIT for it to happen, if my view is correct?
If we assume that there are approximately 1-2 millions of real bitcoin users, the world adoption is just ~0,038%. We have plenty of room to grow when it comes to user base. |

it is a good thing, that i have to hold my coins minimum for 12 months because of tax issues in my country. after a year of holding, every profit is taxed with 0%. that means i have no other choice than hodling till summer 2015. |

Rpietila, what makes you think that Monero is getting stronger every day? What am I missing?
Well I am in active IRL & chat contact with many of the devs. They have convinced me that things are going on well, yet they are careful not to give me information that is not publicly accessible because we have a mutual feeling that my "adoption" of this coin is not what is actually happening and therefore should not be marketed as such. But it is true that I see the enormous potential, even to replace Bitcoin, as the team in Monero is stronger, and the tech corrects the most glaring flaw of Bitcoin. - As a result of Bitcoin trying to have a rudder (foundation), it was left entirely without one. - A short time ago, people generally thought using Bitcoin keeps their finances private. Well, that's pretty far from the case. I am not here (yet) to make convincing arguments why everyone should buy. The day will come, when the coin is ready. Short list: - Best team - Fairest launch of all coins - Very good emission schedule - Killer attribute (anonymity with ring sig) Quite easy really. The coin will deliver if it can be transacted anonymously. Nothing else needed. And it can. But it is too difficult now. Hasn't AnonyMint proved that Monero is not truly anonymous, certainly not to a "killer attribute" level? I've seen him tear it apart in a thread on here, and stayed away for that reason. Uhm no, his concerns were about a potential blockchain bloat issue because of the ring signatures and a potential scaling problem in the next 1-2 years. On the other hand, the anonymity technology is bleeding edge and working. |

jump4ever and TwinWinNerD, thank you very much. I will claim 61 posts. Also a big thank you to Stunna for this opportunity to earn a few coins, i am really excited to get my first "paycheck" in bitcoins - haha. @Monbux, yes i know. But i assume that the 17th is only the day, when you get the payment. You get the equivalent btc amount to your posts that you claimed when you filled the payout form. I could make a few more posts until the 17th but i don't really care that much. Is this correct, or is it only possible to claim a payout exactly on the 17th? Greetings Wex |

Vielen Dank für die sehr ausführlichen Informationen. Ich bin schockiert, dass man sogar als richtiges Gewerbe den Strom praktisch nicht unter 19 Cent bekommt.
Ich habe eher mit ~12-14 Cent gerechnet als Gewerbe. Tja, so kann man sich täuschen.
"Professionelles" und groß skaliertes Minen ist somit in Deutschland effektiv nicht möglich.
Grüße Wex

Ich weiß nicht, was ich von Via halten soll. An und für sich find ich den PoS Ansatz von denen super, aber dass der Preis seit der IPO sich schon verfünffacht(?) hat gibt mir zu denken. Mir gefällt auch, dass die da radikal an Treechains rumdoktorn wollen und nicht so "ängstlich" an Technologische Änderung herangehen wie Bitcoin.
Zum Thema Monero, ich denke der Preis wird auf Dauer noch etwas runter gehen. Jedoch steht ein riesen Pump bevor, wenn die ersten Deepweb-Markets in naher Zukunft den Coin hinzufügen zum anonymen Handeln.

Hallo Miner,
gibt es in Deutschland eine Möglichkeit Strom besonders günstig zu bekommen ? Was sind die günstigsten Privatpersonen Tarife ? Ich denke bei 0,25cent pro kWh ist Schluss, zumindest hab ich nichts günstigeres in meiner Gegend gefunden. (Aachen)
Gibt es Angebote, die einem günstigen Industriestrom verkaufen ? Eventuell gelagert in einer Halle ?
Anders gefragt, wie realisiert ihr das Minen bei den, im globalen Vergleich, verrückten Strompreisen hier in Deutschland ?

Is there any progress regarding a staking mobile wallet ? I saw on other coins, that they are working on it. I think this could push us a little bit ahead in terms of developement. Any news about the colored coin alternative wallet, that drunkonsound was working on ?

http://coinmarketcap.com/Almost everything in deep red.The end of altcoins begins right here, all these twitter pumpers and average smallscale trader realize that there is no more money to make. At least bitcoin is stable compared to everything else. (thank god for that) Without Bitcoin we all have nothing.

Mine with your gpu and cpu monero to get a few satoshi daily. Another option is to "sell" your signature. You get paid according to your Forum-Rank and your post-count. Just don't spam.

Litecoin scheint überfällig zu sein, verfolge das Teil nicht so wirklich, aber hat das Teil auch so Features verpasst bekommen wie Darkcoin, XC Coin, Cloakcoin, XCloudcoin etc? Ich meine, geht da was technisch weiter, gibts da überhaupt ne Android wallet? etc?
Litecoin stagniert einfach technologisch und leidet unter dem Verkaufsdruck der ganzen ASIC Käufer und natürlich der relativ hohen Inflation von 28800 Coins pro Tag. Ich sehe da keine Hoffnung mehr, der Coin ist überflüssig. In meinen Augen ist es nur noch eine Frage der Zeit, bis irgendein anderer Coin Litecoin von #2 verdrängt. Es muss ja nur einer von den großen Holdern seine Coins verkaufen, und der ganze Markt crashed wieder auf 2$ wie vor kurzem in dem Flashcrash. Meiner Meinung nach gibt es nur wenige sinnvolle Altcoins, die dementsprechend auch etwas besonderes leisten müssen. An Wert gegenüber dem BTC verlieren die meisten trotzdem.  Nichtsdestotrotz gibt es bei Litecoin einen gewissen Netzwerk-Effekt. Keiner anderer Altcoin ist so weitverbreitet und so liquide. Verbreitung ? Naja, es gibt keine Miner Community mehr. Mining ist jetzt zentralisiert durch die ASIC Hersteller. Es gibt auch keine Händlercommunity, die Händler konzentrieren sich zu 100% auf Bitcoin. http://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/nodes-ltc-doge.html Die Anzahl der aktiven Nodes sinkt mit jedem Tag. Liquide ? Überwiegend nur noch Bot-trading auf btc-e(inklusive die ganzen Arbitrage-Bots die an den anderen Börsen angeheftet sind). Technologie ? Es war mal DER GPU-Coin, jetzt ist er einfach nur noch überflüssig. Und das sag ich als großer (Ex-)Fan vom Litecoin. |
