Have you not watched the news very much lately on line?
There is a BIG STORM BREWING for a lot of BIG PLAYERS to buy into BTC in anticipation for different things I'm not willing to mention for the sake of the bet. Also, for the sake of keeping others from mining or increasing their hashing power once they see how much BTC will be going up. It's going to the moon very soon. Seriously!
It has gone from $300.00 to $377.00 since Sunday evening! I read a lot of news and a LOT of chat from very smart speculators in the BTC game. A SERIOUS STORM IS BREWING!!! I KNOW WE WILL BE AT LEAST $470 BY END OF THANKSGIVING BUT I'M OBVIOUSLY BETTING ON IT BEING $510.00. WE BOTH WIN EITHER WAY FROM OUR MINING FARMS. THAT'S THE WAY I SEE IT... ALSO, PLEASE DON'T THINK WE ARE ARGUING OR GETTING INTO A HEATED DISCUSSION. WE CANNOT SEE EACH OTHERS FACE OR DISPOSITION. THIS IS A GENTLEMAN'S BET BETWEEN RESPECTFUL INDIVIDUALS. I PLAY TEXAS NO LIMIT HOLDEM QUITE A BIT. IT TOO IS A GENTLEMAN'S GAME... WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING? srsly do you not notice your capslock on b4 you post? |

Slush stopped posting here some time ago. Until the beginning of this year newbies couldn't make posts in normal threads and the members that were posting were just asking the same questions over and over. It had got really bad so slush quit posting in this thread because he was just repeating himself over and over because no one would read past posts for answers. He added the webchat, a ticket system and Facebook for announcements. It sucks but this forum had got out of control. Slush is a highly intelligent person and to explain the same simple things over and over again when there is a knowledge base link on the pool page and plenty of pages in the forum they could review over became too overwhelming. Also, at the same time having clueless miners accusing him of crazy things because they don't understand how a score based pool works wasn't very productive for anyone. He was trying to write new pool software for the pool and create a Stand alone bitcoin wallet to help bring bitcoin to wider audience so he stopped posting here to create those things. You can still post with him in the Development and Technical threads, so he is still available and answers questions, just not the ones that he has answered 1,000's of times since 2011. He left this thread unlocked so we could communicate and help each other out.
Finally. Another intelligent post. This one should be read by all newbs, but it probably won't |

Ya, you wouldn't want anyone else mining on your account with your worker/workerpass. /s

End of the Game, it seems like it.
There are btc big farms dropping huge amount of btc and only few people buy, so price go down.
It doesn't matter if there are large mining farms or just one slow miner, the same amount of BTC is produced. |

almost half the hashpower of BTCguild and one more block than them for the day. seems pretty lucky here today

Block reward halving is not a little known fact, or shouldn't be. Anyone getting into mining without knowing anything about it is foolish. I have already gone through one halving and it did not affect me too bad.

While the current BTC price sucks... difficulty increase/less payouts suck... and we have operating costs... I think focusing on that stuff (for the home miner) is the wrong attitude. I don't care about short term price. The way I see it, I am buying cheap bitcoins from my electric company. I believe in the long term success of bitcoin. Even if I start operating at a loss in the coming months, it won't matter long term. Everyone needs to stop looking at home mining as a get rich quick scheme and start looking at how it fits in to your 5-10 year plans. If you believe in bitcoin, and cryprocurrency in general, it's a no brainer.
Finally. A new member with brains. Thank you. |

But you said you believe BTC exchanges effect difficulty
|
|
|

You all keep saying people won't shutdown some miners or w.e. nobof not that's why you FORCE THEN TO. Mostly these btc exchanges. Its called DDOS, which means distributed denial of service, with the ability to shutdown. Pools or exchanges for a few hours or days.
Price is just dropping, and the only real way to fix this is for some of these exchanges or pools to go offline for ahwile.
But everyone likes to say people wontbturb them off, no nobody will, that's why u take it offline by force.... Just until price goes up a bit.
Either way. STOCK MARKET people that's what this is like.
Dood! Shutting down any or all exchanges won't lower difficulty. Only hashrate affects difficulty. Maybe read over the last few pages of posts and learn. |

So lately iv been watching the diff prediction rise. It started at like 31 its now 35-38 and I have a feeling when it comes for diff ride it will be at around 42-46. I thinks is on have like 5 levels in 28hrs or less. And by the looks of it, its not going to drop, slow down or stop rising anytime soon.
The higher the diff, the more miners people add, and the so called "only way" to lower it is for miners to be turned off.
So this is why i have a feeling it'll be 42-48 by the time it finLly changes.
I'm not loosing hope. The hope is there, just loosing hope of it dropping or stopping anytime soon.
My theory is, with your own miners everyone who runs more than 5th/s turn off ur miners and reduce the speed to 1-5th/s and keep ur miners ready for when and if price rises or diff shootsnthrough the roof.
Instead of adding more and more and more miners to keep up with diff, turn half your miners off so diff drops thus doubling your profit(I'm pretty sure)
We here at slushs are a family. And as a family were strong and were lucky. But diff won't drop or slow down anytime soon with more and more people turning onnmore miners.
Thanks.
You do realize there is 248 TH on the network, it will never happen. Enjoy while you can as home mining will be nothing but a hobby in the not to distant future. Just the nature of the beast. You do realize there is 248 PH/s on the network |

Happy days are here again, let the blocks rain down on Slush again. |

Shut down some miners yea. Or crash a few pools or btc exchanges.  . All. Very simply steps. Might be time to go to ghash for ahwle till slush gets back in the game or diff lowers I don't see how taking any or all exchanges offline would lower difficulty. Miners gunna mine. Say a hacker or group of Hackers takes out an exchange and oh say a couple 100 thousand bitcoins get lost permanently that means that have to be mined again. In turn the difficulty goes down. Read an article a while back about the volume affecting the mining difficulties etc etc. Will have to find it and post. JT You were misinformed. In fact, I think a few of the newbies here either don't know or were misinformed about what the mining difficulty is, how it works, and what it is used for. Lost coins don't get replaced. You need to do a bit more reading from reputable sources. |

^ please explain idea to lower difficulty? What can we do?
To lower difficulty, we only need to get everyone to stop adding hash power as well as turn off a few machines. Simple. Wait here's another, please just all of you give me your spare change bitcoin so I can buy my father a Birthday present this weekend. 1JEgJhdCPvRCvccvNpfP9e1KPkKfZsrVrC just send there and life will be good again  I think that will work about as well as your suggestion...Maybe? It's not a suggestion. In fact, it is the only way to lower difficulty. Ain't gunna happen. |
