R9 290s all the way, but only if you can find some for $400. Anything over $450 and they begin to falter in terms of $/Khash. R9 290 prices skyrocketted about 2 week before Christmas. I was getting them on Amazon Prime for $400 with $4 next day shipping. Those were the days
I'm getting the following error after mining in the pool all day: "You have exceeded the pools configured CSC warning threshold. Please initiate a transfer!" I'm not sure what I did to get this error message though.
The coins I have in the pool are now over the payout threshold I've set. I'm still mining all and well but I'm just worried that the coins aren't paying out right with this error. I even attempted a manual payout to no avail.
Hypothetically speaking, say bitcoin steadily rises to $1000 by the end of the year and China sits on the sidelines while watching it become more and more desirable to the world.
Does this cause them to take a second look at their stance on depositing to exchanges and merchant use? Do they remain stubborn? Do the leaders secretly acquire bitcoin while making it difficult for its citizens to acquire it?
I'm just wondering how countries that currently shun bitcoin will perceive it if it hypothetically continues to rise in price, desirability, and functionality? Will its price inevitably convince all countries to adopt it?
And you wouldn't ever have to worry about thieves running off with all the change.
The main problem I see with this laundromat (and other things like vending machines) is that there needs to be an internet connection at some point, right?
It really depends if you look at it like they never entered the market in the first place versus just suddenly plucking out all China exchanges in a single moment while the impact of the publicity still remained.
I think China publicity helped the price increase which even if it was a bubble still attracted a lot of new entrepreneurs and general public awareness, which in turn helps the long-term and short-term growth.
