And why 120V instead of 240v?

You'll need to double check everything to be safe.

Most likely because of breaker.  Sadly most US breakers use 120v.  You could switch the breaker out though.  Be carefull though if you don't know might hire someone.
13542  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What's the difference between Offline & Online wallets ? on: September 09, 2014, 03:37:35 PM
All depends on what you use.  Some online have 2 factor authentication, insured, list goes on.  But also they are online which is far different then cold storage.

The client for bitcoin takes a LONG time normally to download the chain and get up to date.  You can use a wallet without it and be able to send/recieve much quicker.

If much money i suggest looking into cold storage.

The question is do you offer a flate rate? or do you go by some crazy expensive $500 hr rate.

By avoiding the bloat of traditional law firms, I would pass a considerable saving onto my clients.

Due to the nature of bitcoins, I would propose fixed fee arrangements rather than an hourly rate. The fee could then be placed in escrow with a trusted third party and released when the agreed work was completed.

My real concern is that my experience is mostly focused on British law. It's probably only a small minority of forum users that are British and therefore perhaps I am fishing in a very small market. I wonder if there are any bitcoin blogs or news that focuses on the UK.


If you are a lawyer and have good credentials i would suggest contacting people who have been scammed in hardware thread etc.  If you could prove a win against a company you will have many clients off board.  I won't mention the companies you can look in hardware and altcoin to see which one's seem to be a scam.

First case most likely to get, but if you win lots of business to come.

"I could also advise on contract law or commercial disputes of any kind." most likely will not get you much.  If you advise most to get a lawyer in the district etc you wont get much.  This all depends.

Hey all I just staarted mining with my Gridseed ASIC 10 Ghs and am wondering if the 170 i paid for it was a waste or should I stay in for the long haul for my plan to buy a 1 Ths rig. within 2 days i have earned 0.00024 BTC

If its 10 GHs on bitcoin then yes 170 is very very high.  Machines such as S3, Dragon, etc are FAR cheaper per GHz.  Do ROI math but your better off in most cases with a bigger machine.   Price per GHs is normally cheaper.
13545  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Offline Mining Rig on: September 09, 2014, 03:26:10 PM
Simple question -
Can I build a rig that I can connect to the internet only as needed to upload/download or do I have to remain connected constantly?
Thanks
SF

Connected constantly.

Agree, while mining you need to be connected. e.g. you have to announce your new block to whole community.


p.s. "offline mining rig" sounds to me like a joke  Cheesy    

what about you have more then 1 rig(lan connected), you could create your own nodes, and your own coin, without internet, no profit ok, but at least it's possible i think

In theory you probley could set up a node.  But there is no information going out to other nodes so you essentially get nothing.   You would run electricity for no coins.
13546  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Where can a newb buy bitcoins? on: September 09, 2014, 03:17:21 PM
Coinbase is not a fraud, I have used them many times and never had a problem.  You can find a few stories about them but overall they are great.

Localbitcoin is online aswell you are relying on another person online.  Get someone with good feedback.  

Coinbase will save you money chances are long term.  Some are worried about having to give out so much info localbitcoins does not require all the start up information and bank like coinbase.
13547  Economy / Services / Re: [www.easy2mine.com] Youtube Video Ad Contest - Winner 1 week Dragon rental free! on: September 09, 2014, 02:29:36 AM

It's suppose to be a fun contest.  I'm not expecting movie quality cgi.  Maybe spread the name a little.  But overall main idea was fun way to spread name.  

And someone gets a free week of a 1T dragon rental.  So someone walks away with a little prize.  I know I have had PM's about contest but no submissions as of yet.

No offense. But if the prize was bigger (0.5 and more) I would take a part. I not a pro like Hollywood but I work for TV for many years. But with 0.1, it's not worth the bother.  

No offense taken.  Again it's more off a fun contest.   I see this as a small video I think could be done in hour or so.  But I can understand if someone want's their work to be professional quality that just isn't what this contest was geared for.

Small fun video, helps spreads name.  I hope someone takes time and does a nice small, only time will show.

It defintally has the reliability of old dragon's.  I can say it made it through a few storms one caused temporary power loss age at my house.  It started right back up as soon as power was up

Stop and start the miner a few times.  It sometimes can fix and pickup a blade not working this way.  If that does not work you will need to have engineer there look at it, submitting down ticket on website or talking to Mr. Lee.  As someone would need to check connections first. And if that does not work will take some diagnostic work.

1T for free for a week it should be like ~0.11BTC Smiley

~0.11BTC is not too much for PRO video published @YouTube.


I think it's noting for a medium level video makers also. Interesting what quality will be video.  

It's suppose to be a fun contest.  I'm not expecting movie quality cgi.  Maybe spread the name a little.  But overall main idea was fun way to spread name.

It is about easy2mine.com, right? How can I check the site? It is down. Or should a video be made with the ideas shown below and some more?

Some ideas to showcase in video:
Miner Sales
Model of miners carried
Hosted Miner's
Miner Rental's


  ~~MZ~~

www.Easy2Mine.com yes it is about this website it should link. Other things other thing aswell.  You can find the easy to mine group buy in gb thread (formerly Lee Group)
13552  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Most profitable algorithm to mine at the moment ? on: September 08, 2014, 11:16:04 AM
It all can depend.  If your mining and holding coins its very different then mining and trading for BTC.  Easiest is BTC to mine.  Scrypt you might hold some and hit a homerun.  It is harder to predict scrypt profits.  BTC profits are easier to do ROI math on.
13553  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Been away - what is with all these new algos? on: September 08, 2014, 11:13:24 AM
So, I've been gone for quite a while. Last I checked VertCoin and Scrypt-N were the new thing. I come back and I see 6 or 7 different algorithms?

What did I miss? How do these algos work? Is there one that is strictly for GPUs not that Scrypt itself has ASICs?

Is there any algo/coin that is "profitable" given existing GPU hardware? Or is it all cloud/ASIC?


Sadly for most GPU days are over.  Cost of electricity and heat removal just makes it impossible to compete against Asic.   They have shifted to x... or n , etc.  This is to be asic resistant.   But for most people even with those algos there is not enough profit and you are better off selling cards and buying BTC or getting a asic.
13554  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Quick questions thread on: September 08, 2014, 11:10:43 AM
Q: I send a BTC and it has zero confirmations, so it's in the unconfirmed transactions pool. Once I get 1 confirmation does that mean it's now sitting atop of the blockchain, with all of the other transactions that make up that block? Or is the block not confirmed until I have x amount of confirmations?

A website can pick a number of conformations until it's considered to be a good transaction.  The main reason for multiple conformations is to make sure it's not someone trying to double spend.
13555  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is this website fake!!! on: September 08, 2014, 11:04:48 AM
Anything like this that sounds to good to be true.... there is a great chance it is.

But yes looks like they are trying to get your info and very fake.
13556  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: can't connect Antminer S1. ( WILL PAY FOR HELP ) on: September 08, 2014, 11:01:54 AM
You don't need a stratum server running, the Antminer S1 can mine standalone.  You need the pc only for initial setup and monitoring.

The slush pool settings that work are
stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333
worker_name (usually your login_name.worker1,2,3 etc.)
worker_password (as per your Slush settings).

Note that on Slush you need to create your workers.

It is a good idea to populate the other pool entries with backup pools.

Can you access your web gui?
What does your Status Overview page show? (post a screen shot)
Can you post a screen shot of the Status, Miner Status page?

Cheers

The miner status page should show how many GHz and what pools are alive.  It sounds like you having problems I agree on previous post wrong DNS can stop it all, might check it.  If not try another pool.

If no pools are working if you show us a screenshot of miner configuration page we can try to help.  Also if you us ipconfig and show it aswell so we can see what settings should be to compare.

Had a question contest is still on, it is.  Thanks to Mr. Lee of www.Easy2Mine.com for providing the miner rental time for who ever wins.  

And also to be transparent I did not put a timezone on end time it was added as I realize it could be confusing without it.
13558  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Transaction not confirm? on: September 07, 2014, 11:21:46 PM
One thing is if you don't pay fee could cause slowness.   Did you pay the miner fee?
13559  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: what Best Way to Earn btc? on: September 07, 2014, 11:20:27 PM
Buy or mine.   Or can sell goods/services.

Sadly with faucets money is VERY small.  I suggest a little research and see if you enjoy mining or investing more.
13560  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: confused on why some miners are so expensive. on: September 07, 2014, 10:22:03 PM
One of the biggest costs is the ASIC chips them-self.  With being a smaller miner you will need to do a little research and pick best for your money.

Some of this decision is really based on your electricity.  If the efficient will make a difference.
