1761  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Who the hell is still mining on GHash.IO? GTFO that pool already!!! on: June 13, 2014, 02:26:17 AM
wtf do people continue to believe those %'s?

you seriously think they're tagging all their blocks?

not all of it is on a public pool

This is true.  I think we have observed that the majority of their pool is in fact privately owner.  When they have downtime less than 15PH was coming offline.

Dive.  Dive back down to $2.  GHash.io, go ahead and solve 10 blocks in a row.  If it's going down everybody is going down with them  Roll Eyes

Depends at what stage of life you asked me.  If I was single and not dating I would choose to be happy and be broke.

Now I have a family and whenever I plan my income and spending I'm not thinking about my needs usually.  My family gives me happiness - job is just a means to keep them.

Having read LOTR and Hobbit as a kid I had to say LOTRO was better.

I did find Potter entertaining and I'll probably have my kids read it but I think it's not in the same league as LOTR.

I have a huge laminated periodic table that I've owned since high school.  It's still on my wall in my house today.  So nice that my 4 year old knows the first 18 elements Smiley

I believe Medicare cutting my reimbursement is the main reason I have to work harder and harder.  This year I will be giving CMS the finger.

1773  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Never make a ROI on: June 12, 2014, 06:09:59 AM
You can roi. I have and i'm no wizard.
I don't understand the miner price today though as they were cheaper, or the same price 2-3 weeks ago, and it is a later point in time. 
Companies just ripping people off from recent price increase right now.

Now anyone who is trying to mine alts with gpus these days, myself included, needs some wizard assistance cause were all fucked lol. 

You must be talking fiat ROI.  Fiat ROI just depends on timing - you buy the miner when BTC value is low, mine and hope BTC goes up to cover your cost.

BTC ROI is pretty much impossible with any ASIC.  I think the naysayers are talking about BTC ROI.

I have made over fiat return on antminers, and I am a week away from btc roi (technically the asics have made there btc roi price up, but I added in the cost of power and psus to be fair) in around 3 months.
-This assumes straight mining numbers (- power and psus), and if I held every btc mined, and sold them all this second.
A hell of allot of people used btc asics way before I ever did, and I do not see how they could not have gotten roi.   


May I ask which machines you purchased.   The only ASICs known to easily do BTC ROI have been the Avalon Batch 1 & 2 units and the initial KNC deliveries.  All the other miners are struggling to make BTC ROI including Bitmain S1 buyers as far as I can tell from forum posts.  Did you buy your eq secondhand/used?

My condolences.

Atleast he lived for a much longer time than what those douchy doctors gave him in the beginning.

R.I.P

Hey now, I'm a physician and I understand that we're not the ones who give people time.  We can only make estimates.

I'm sure LostDutchman would like to keep this thread solemn, positive and supportive, no negative thoughts please.

Haha, we need more of these threads to flush out those other questionable ones.

She's pretty, 7/10.

This is one video is pretty memorable for me:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4THzaCrMht4

I'm not a New Yorker but I remember watching the attacks live on TV and thinking how different our world would be.  This song pretty much sums it up.

I realize people in other countries like that everyday in wartorn regions but not it's become global.

Dido's voice eerily haunts me.

The fact that you are here on the boards posting about him means he significantly touched at least 1 other life and his memory will live on.  May he rest in peace.

Advice you not to get too deeply into gaming.

Colossal waste of money and time.

As opposed to spending it on 3D movies in the theater?


I remember buying 16MBs of RAM for my 486 for $300 (the RAM was of questionable origin ahem).  Stuff will always be getting faster the second you buy it.  I would spend some of the budget on stuff that doesn't change too often like keyboard, mouse and sound.  Those 3 components are what you physically interact with.
1779  Other / Off-topic / Re: I'm not prepared for a disaster, are you? on: June 11, 2014, 09:05:09 PM
I live in Los Angeles and we're supposed to be prepared for the big one, so as far as supplies I'm good for a month.  Problem is I have the biggest house on the block and as noted above everybody will want my stuff.  I really need to learn to use a gun and get a few decent defensive weapons.  LA has riots every 30 years, we're due for one  Shocked

I would like to see the 7 wonders, but before that I want to see the northern or southern lights.
