but you can effectively change the algo again and again to make asic worthless, gpu can instead adapt to the new change making it more flexible and not worthless after the algo is changed

in fact no one is building asic for vertcoin, which is the coin that did this to avoid asic mining, bitcoin would have been more decentralized for sure with gpu, the diff would also be much lower and this would allow casual mining

having a good capitalization isn't the only thing that a coin need to beat bitcoin, i can't stop repeating this but all the other coins will never overtake bitcoin until there will be an actual usage for merchants

if they remain good for speculators, they will never take off, monero is currently the only one used as a currency like bitcoin, at least this is true int he darkweeb

more likely it's people that don't pay the correct amount of fee or spam, i've always asked if there was a way to determine the spam and the real bitcoin usage, would be useful to knwo if we are still handling the real amount of transaction that are not pure spam

not true, if no one can buy because none is spending(i'm assuming the wider definition here and not spending as a purchasing only, but as a trading too), the value will likely remain there, not going to be dumped for sure

but it can increase without the possibility for buyers to buy new coins, in fact if all exchange were to be stopped by the governments, the value would not appreciate anymore so quickly

you then need to do private trading and report on a new decentralized(like a big forum) service the possible new value

the only big hacking that happened in the past were mtgox, poloniex, bistamp, bitfinex and cryptsy, none of these exchange have anything to do with korea

i think this is another sensationalist news just without proper content, and any proof regarding this big amount stolen, no address to where the money where sent

the haf-xb is the best, or the corsair air 540 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=361613.0

you mean the sgminer option i can see on the web gui?

spero non pensino che chi compra bitcoin facendo partire una certa quantità di denaro dal suo c/c, poi faccia arrivare la stessa somma sul suo conto corrente... è chiaro che chi lo fa genera plusvalenza

se vogliono fare orecchie da mercante affari loro, però è palese da quello che dicono che non si deve pagare nulla a prescindere dal reddito generato, a meno di non superare la famosa giacenza dei 51.000 alla settimana....

my strategy rely on diversification but only for very cheap coins and in any case not a big amount(33%), that can return a great investment, the remaining amount, is with the strongest coins, and usually only 3 at best no more

too much diversification can lead to more danger and loss of capitalizzation than actual more possible profit, especially in crypto where only 1 out of 100 coins is lucky enough to give you a good return of investment

on windows 10 you can easily check this by running any miner and look for the value you get under taskmanager, with resource monitor

we are talking about few byte per sec for an altcoin mining, i doubt bitcoin mining move away so much from this

according to this old thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=10860.0, the usage is very low around 2mb per hour, you can build a huge farm and still consume very low

bandwidth is never a problem with mining, initial investment, consumption/cooling and space are the real problem

not it can not, that's why they are forcing segwit, bitcoin can't handle many transactions(more than 3 on average) per second right now, also fee would be increadible high if all toe world begin to sue bitcoin

although if people are intelligent they could force the miners to accept lower fee, by paying less and less and waiting, more, this will in the end force the miners to accept on average lower fee

in theory with two people connecting the client via lan, it's like having a home network for bitcoin, there must be a way to allow the client to recognize a sub network in case internet service provider can't povide their service

i'm sure that if there was no internet, with a WAN between miners, they can build the network of bitcoin withou internet, it's not so different than a mesh network

well that's a problem because you are saying that bitcoin is only for the rich, and the poorer can go fuck themselves, but the pooerer have the ability to make bitcoin adoption happen

if you want bitcoin to be widely accepted everywhere, you must allow for micro transaction, to be true, perhaps through some other gateway of payment, but it must be done

and actually those transaction with lower fee, are doing a good thing by lowering the average, instead of following the rally of "who pay more get it faster", that is a bad habit, which is in fact rising the average cost of the fee

usually you can always afford to pay taxes, because tax are made for those people that earn a lot, if you have a very minimum income epr year, you are exempt from tax, at least it's how it work in some country

in fact poor people have to pay minimum tax if not zero tax anyway, position of bitcoin is not very clear for now, in some country, some of them will simply ignore that it exist and will not ask you anything, at least you are not doing illegal activity...

well chian and india isn't that new, they were into bitcoin since many years, china especially was always big as it get, india grow a bit recently because of their government banning their bigger note

and japan is the real deal here, with the last regulamentation, this country is leading the future of bitcoin adoption, japan was always a pioneer and eventually will force other country to follow

i want to ask, if there is a way to mine two coins simultaneously with a-900 giant, i want to divide the hash in two coin, i see there are two thread that can mine, it should be possible in theory

i still have 99% cpu if don't put affinity 2 on the bat

looking forward for release 5, should be like mining with the current diff halved, compared when i was minign with half of the hashrate

the last sgminer version will do the trick, it's very easy to use and to setup, you can find it here on this section

you don't need any programming skill to run a miner, if you have only few miners, maybe you can change their fan for a better and more silent one, which come with a higher CFM

i would suggest to not invest much, if you are new to these thing, better to begin with one used antmienr s9,

regarding segwit it's needed to make bitcoin scale a bit, it allow a room for more transaction per second, not a final solution but a step forward
