Or maybe people will then make another clone and start the pump and dump again

What do you mean by that lol.



See the name Charles Hoskinson? 

People love to use exaggerated title for their own reasons (to attract eyeball, to spread FUD, etc).
Just like how people kept saying "China banned bitcoin" a while ago. 

Yup, I have heard of something like that as well.

Thanks for the link.


It is going to be released as a stand alone coin.
If it works well, the bitcoin core devs can do some protocol changes to adopt it as well...

lol.
You want to get $40 for answering 8 simple questions?

That is indeed your bitcoin addresses, which allow everyone (including yourself) to send bitcoin to.


Could you double check the address balance on blockchain.info?
Enter the address on the site, and see if the balance is really zero.


Electrum is a thin wallet, and users only need to download the block headers (around 20MB), and so the process should be really quick (unless your connection is very bad / slow)....


I should use "newly generated address" instead.

It is for 2 reasons.

For the Electrum wallet, you can either backup the master seed (the 12 words you get when you first create a new wallet), or the wallet file.
Please note that your imported addresses cannot be recovered from the master seed.

Another reason is for safety.
Everyone can spend the bitcoin on an address if they have the private key.
Though the site brainwallet.org is considered trusted and the code has been reviewed by many people, it is still possible that someone has "hijacked" the site right before you go to the site.

Even if you access the site as off-line, it could still send the private key to the bad guy when you get online. So, as a precaution measure, you could send all the bitcoin out, and never use that address anymore in the future.


You are welcome

Use the following with cautions, never show the private keys to others, and send all your bitcoin to a newly generated address afterwards:

1. Go to http://brainwallet.org/#chains (access it in off-line mode for better safety)
2. Enter your root key in the "Paper Backup" field
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx
3. You should be able to see your addresses and the associated private keys at the bottom
4. Import the private keys to blockchain.info / Electrum / Multibit or any other wallet
5. Send your bitcoin to a newly generated address (to prevent loss just in case)

Good luck to you.

But seriously, it is pretty hard to get profitability in bitcoin mining nowadays.
The difficulity is rising ~20% every 2 weeks, and this really kills the profit.

If you can get the hashrate right now, it could be profitable, especially you don't need to pay for electricity...
If it is a pre-order and the  delivery is expected to be done months later, forget it...

OP, please stop spamming the above long posts everywhere....

lol. 

Exactly.
You can check the built-in profit calculator on cex.io yourself.

Your hashrate is way too low for R9 280...

According to https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison, You may try "-I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-powertune 20".

Sounds reasonable

wow, there were so many big bitcoin news in Jan

Thank you for reporting back.
It will be helpful to those having the same problem when they make a search in the future.

Thanks for the link.

Sorry to hear your loss.
I am afraid your money is lost forever

No spamming!! lol
