Hahaha this is pathetic. Why would the value of a coin rise 50% by someone just mentioning it?! And that someone being McAffee, a coked out old man. He adds no value to it. This is getting ridiculous. If he mentions a coin and it does not move in price, THAT coin would be worth investing in, since its market knows.
This. Also, it's crazy how many idiots follow McAfee, who pretty much just started pumping coins. You, guys, underestimate the power of community idiots. |

Is anyone interested in a difficulty adjust algorithm change? It seem some teams have pulled this off, e.g. with BCH, with decent effect. We've been hesitant in the past because don't-fork-unless-you-absolutely-must, and hey we haven't had to, but it's worth the discussion at least. Better algos are out there for us to use if there is any interest in making it happen.
Any comments appreciated.
Since all difficulty retarget algos work based on historical time between past blocks, none of them can be accurate and avoid spikes and drops. If a block hasn't been found for hours, the difficulty can't change, only after the next high difficulty block gets solved. Coins that are heavily mined can get away with it because the hashrate thrown at them doesn't swing wildly, but for coins like this, a few miners jumping on and off causes big swings in the total network hashrate, therefore the difficulty. And without an appropriate difficulty swing, block times would vary wildly. One of the solution to this problem is to have multiple PoW algorithms in parallel, like it is the case for DigiByte, Myriadcoin, Joincoin, Aurora, Verge, etc. and so if let's say algo A's difficulty gets kicked to the moon because some miners jumped on it then abruptly left, the blockchain still moves on the other algos and the difficulty of algo A can also be reduced without having to find a super high difficulty block. |

PIVX has always been my favorite coin!
It's nice to see, how its market cap grows and grows ....
$668.839.221 USD
we are not far away from reaching 1 billion $ Yeah, this climb was long awaited but we're still behind dozens of terrible shitcoins, currently sitting at #37 @$13.50 I seldom make predictions and I was expecting the price to reach $15 sometime next year when the price was ~$4.7 earlier this month but now I'm confident to make that $50 sometime before next summer. |

You can try it with new Proof of Work coins even though it is really really rare to see them around these times. Electroneum was rewarding a lot for solo miners on the first day of PoW before the difficulty increase, I know a few people who earned probably several thousand dollars.
I guess there are different kinds of pool reward like the different kinds of Proof of our work. You can be 1-or-2-day rewarded for your shares which can be useless at all for the pool. Or you can find there several blocks because you are lucky, and your hardware matches anywhere in the algos. But, philosophical question, isn't it sad to calculate nothing worth than (h)ashes, unlike gridcoin or fold'coin : another prime number, or the protein combination to cure a common disease, that's sustainable for decades, what do the world needs electronically ? Your block finding frequency (or chance of finding a block) depends on the coin's difficulty; Time to find a block in seconds = (2^32 * difficulty) / (your_hashrate_in_Mh/s * 1e6) That is for most coins, but not all. Anyway, you can get the difficulty by using getmininginfo in the wallet, under debug. So for example, if your hashrate is 1000 Mh/s and the coin's difficulty is 838.9, you'll end up with 3600 seconds (e.g. 1 hour) between finding blocks on average. The last point is very important because it ignores variance (luck) so in reality you could go even days without finding a block or you could end up finding dozens of blocks under an hour. So it's not about jackpot, it's just simple variance. Very enlighting. Is that how the "Go solo ?" column is printed here : http://www.cryptocoinsinfo.com (ex. @1000H/s, Karbowanec KRB, 5.9 days, expected time per block solved) There may be a more complete listing as well but where, whattomine.com does not output this ? I'm not familiar with that site but some sites calculate the chances of finding a block based on how long it (should) take for the whole network to find a block (e.g. 10 min for Bitcoin, 2,5 minutes for Litecoin, etc). That basically means they're working from historical averages ignoring the actual difficulty of finding blocks and since difficulty can swing a lot, it will always be the most accurate metric (the complexity of the job your miner has to solve to find a block is basically multiplied by the difficulty). |

In the account settings there is no api key and in the section QR-codes is also empty, where to get api key???
Yes, there is.  |

As a newbie I'am wondering about solo mining. You know in a pool you can discover yourself one, two, three blocks .. but the reward is split so your random chance is not rewarded.
Personnaly I tried an ETP Metaverse pool before two days it showed that I have found 2 blocks (6 ETP BReward versus 1 payed out according to the pool reward law)
Let's go solo, on some new promising coin blockchain, like, hum, electroneum(xmr), pirl, musicoin(eth), unicorn(mam) and so on, for example.
Does anybody can tell us if it's worth spending several days to try the luck ? Let's consider you are very very lucky : even with only one 8GB GPU ?.. And with which altercrypto ?
I suppose that the more the chain is young (short), the more a newbie miner can reach the luck to find solo a block, and another ?
Your block finding frequency (or chance of finding a block) depends on the coin's difficulty; Time to find a block in seconds = (2^32 * difficulty) / (your_hashrate_in_Mh/s * 1e6) That is for most coins, but not all.

Guys, I got into a coin to which Ledger doesn't offer support, and I felt unsafe just using a PC wallet for it.
A friend recommended using virtual box and setting up a virtual machine with Linux
I did that, and at some point the program warned me about a feature called "keyboard capturing", if I remember correctly
As far as I understand, this makes whatever you type while the virtual box is selected only go into the virtual box, and not be registered by the host machine. Is this the case or did I misunderstand?
And does this mean this feature offers protection against keylogging?
Is this a good strategy or are there better ways of keeping the coins safe while Ledger doesn't offer support for it?
AFAIK, that's just pretty much means special keys and combinations like Windows key or Alt+Tab gets passed down to the VM when it's focused. If the VM is infected with a keylogger, but it's not focused, theoritically it can't see what you type on the host OS, only if the VM is focused. |

Hi, was reading about the BCH fork and noticed that we were supposed to receive the same amount of BCH as BTC. This was not the case for me, not even half. My BCH wallet appeared in Coinbase with the BCH already in there. Is it possible that there is more unclaimed BCH out there in the blockchain? Has anyone else experienced this?
I added up all of my transactions (there weren't many) up to Aug 1st on coinbase, and it is not close.
Thanks for your replies in advance.
Don't hold your coins in custodiary wallets and services. Own your own private keys, otherwise you're just trusting someone with your coins. |

People told you plenty of times what will happen with Bitcoin Cash. Everybody had the chance to get those coins at 300$.
Now just sit back and look at this madness, very exciting.
I called on 18 December 2017 (1 BCH = 1600$) a 10 fold increase till 18 January 2018, check it up in my posts.
18 January 2018 1 BCH = 16000$
Bwahaha, sure. I'd bet against you if I knew you'd pay up. |

I know POW doesn't mean Proof of Work in POWtoken but otherwise it would be a hilarious oxymoron. What's also hilarious is McAfee mentioning Verge alongside of Monero and Zcash in the context of privacy coins ( source). |

Who cares? Unfortunately too many people but really, celebs being good at one thing shouldn't mean people should give a shit about what they think of other things like politics or crypto.
And it's just an advertisement tool trying to cater toward a crypto-newbie crowd to make money off of them. The best and biggest coins weren't heavily advertised and they just grew organically. Heavily advertised coins (like most signature campaign spams) are basically just quickly pumped by ads before the dump.

Why this coin surged 300% all of a sudden? I didn't see any big news on social media like twitter, reddit, facebook? What is going on here?
McAfee recommended it on Twitter. |

Wallet is piece of crap. I lost some PIVs through the retarded PIV-->zPIV. I did try all the recovery guides. Please update this funny wallet.
I hate the mandatory wallet updates. I lost 496 minted coins. It's show's on my history as orphan blocks now...I used to love PIVX from day one but now WTF........ Why should I mint if I am going to loose it..... You can't lose coins if you have backups - which is written everywhere. |

do you guys think it can double from 210 sat?
I think it will go way beyond that... eventually. Probably next year. |

With a price of about $ 700, the etherium regained its leading position in the mining.
Not even close. Eth wasn't the most profitable for OVER A YEAR. |
