Amazon's listing for this product is also at $414 USD for a brand-new in box product that is exactly identical to what you are selling, and the 8700k happens to be slightly cheaper at $370. We certainly can read, thank you very much.

I have been scammed before with tracking numbers that resulted in me getting boxes with nothing in them or bricks- I assume either people put dry ice in the box for that case or something of the sort. People go out of their way to scam, and you can never be too careful online, especially when we're dealing with irreversible methods of transfer.

Everything you've posted about leads me to believe that you're trying to lure people into this site. I've seen plenty of cases like this on this forum, and I have every right to be suspicious when your account has never posted before except this thread and you're acting extremely oddly about your so-called purchase.

How can you be so sure that the site's legitimate if your order has only been shipped and you haven't even received anything? Any site on the web can claim to have shipped out something, but unless you actually acquire the product and give us proof of receipt, such as posting a picture of miners with your Bitcointalk name on a piece of paper, and even that's not conclusive evidence that the site's legit. Besides this, the site only accepts direct direct payment and bitcoin payments, so you have NO BUYER PROTECTION. I have suggested to such sites in the past to escrow transactions when the only payment methods are non-reversible.

Changing their site is a lot to assume, and I like to err on the side that this site is simply pretending to have history when they clearly don't.

In the reddit post I linked, the people I linked are clearly talking about cryptodump.

The way you're acting makes me believe you're simply trying to lure people into this scam.

For crypto, I know Nitrogen Sports offers betting on snooker, but I've got no idea what the margin and such is on there. Seems like you can only bet on the winner there, though, and better alternatives with more bet options like handicaps and such likely only accept fiat.

Haven't seen any discussion about the site on Bitcointalk using Google and quotation marks to look for exact matches to Cryptodump, but from what I can see on Reddit, seems like the site's a scam.

Funnily enough, the site claims to have history dating back to 2016 based on what I can see on the site from their monthly archives, but the domain was registered on the 31st of August according to a EURid Whois lookup. Wouldn't trust the site based off this alone, and I would stay away from this site as a whole.

Bitcoin.com states that their contracts last for two years, but they don't go into detail with their plans. What you and many other people likely missed is that their cloudmining plan is based off of S7s (or more likely in your situation) S9 miners, and if profitability drops below maintenance costs, they won't pay you anything. The fact that they only quote 'maintenance costs' and not actual electrical rates or anything is even worse. It sucks, but take it as a learning experience; I'm sure all of us here have made mistakes in crypto before costing money. In the future, if you're trying to mine, try getting hosting from a reputable provider or mine with physical gear at a location you own if that's possible.

ESL One New York 2018’s already started, and it’s a pretty big CS:GO event considering the Major is over. There’s many high-tier teams like Na’Vi, Liquid and Faze attending, and matches should be open for bets on sites like Nitrogensports for crypto bets, or alternatively if you have skins, you can deposit instantly through skins on HLTV through each match page with the CSGOfast widget on each page.

Lauda seems to have negged the OP in the thread you linked for making new accounts to bump his thread, so I wouldn’t try the site out. Most dice games are exactly the same, and there’s basically no reason to play dice on a newer site. Support is usually subpar on new sites, there’s always the risk of being scammed, and it seems the site’s just an average dice gambling site with nothing special.

The added tariffs on everything makes things even worse for us American customers; I assume this now applies to all Bitmain machines imported from China as well. I can’t really see this being profitable as of now with the way crypto is right now, but seems like a $1K gamble to me. Might make some profit, might not.

Selling the gear in the Computer Hardware board couldn’t hurt (proceed with escrow unless buyer goes first). Plus, you’ll get payments in crypto if you choose to accept that as payment, and that’s always nice. I’ve never had a deal go bad there, but I’ve also always used escrow.

As a general rule on eBay, don’t sell what you can’t afford to lose. People always find a way to fraudently refund items there, and I’ve been burned by it in the past so many times I just quit using the site except for buying goods. eBay seems good on the buyer’s end, but it’s really a mess when you start going to sell things, and I wouldn’t risk it selling gear in bulk. The forums aren’t the quickest place to sell gear, and a lot of posts in the computer hardware board are for North American sales, but it’s better than some alternatives like eBay.

Just skimming through the latest threads here about Hashflare, there’s a few threads regarding issues with contracts such as this thread and also this thread. There’s one post in the latter thread that states Hashflare is owned by HashCoins, which sold miners to people and mined with the units themselves, never delivering units to the buyers. It seems there’s mixed opinions and responses on the thread linked in the post dealing with HashCoins, but HashFlare does have a somewhat murky past.

I’ll come back if I find more information regarding any of the cloudmining sites. There’s thousands of threads and posts about these various platforms on this forum, and I learn something new every time I click on a thread.

You certainly can mine, but it’s not worth doing so IMO. Mining usually means fans at full speed on most laptops as most laptops have horrible cooling, and if a fan happens to fail, it’s a hassle to find a replacement and install it. Plus, laptop CPUs are generally pretty underpowered for mining, and your (Haswell?) i7 is no exception. Even if you were to mine, I doubt you’d be making more than a dollar a month.

If you’re looking to make money, scout for jobs in the Services section. People are always looking for workers there, and you’ll likely get paid in crypto for completing a job.

I agree with what buwaytress has said so far. Seems like you’re pretty biased towards supporting the cloudmining platforms and you are only listing the positives of the platforms and none or few of the negatives skimming through this article. As a regular browser of this section, there’s a lot of negative information towards some of these platforms, such as Hashflare and Genesis Mining, and that isn’t really addressed except for the notice at the bottom. You also didn’t list Hashnest, Bitmain’s cloudmining platform, which I know is a pretty popular option that’s also bigger than some of the smaller platforms listed here. Everything looks okay here, I just think that there should be some more time invested into the legitimacy of these platforms, as a potentially scammy platform should not be considered part of the ‘top’.

Seems like bullshit to me, and even if this strategy were to work, the casinos will now know about it and this'll likely be fixed very soon. There's no reason why anyone would purposefully leak a method that makes them money unless it either doesn't work or something is wrong with it already.

If by chance someone hasn't noticed yet or didn't read all the way through, this strategy's only been used by the person in the article in physical casinos.

I don't see anything wrong with this, when what Coinfan posted was legitimate information against Rock Trading. This is perfectly relevant information, and by posting here, there won't be more people facing the same problems going onto the site. I generally don't like necroposting either, but in this circumstance it seems fine to me.

It’s possible, but some mobile devices have pretty weak CPUs, and excessive processor usage may make certain phones and mobile devices crash and/or overheat. If the game’s more basic and doesn’t use as much processing power, this could mean potentially more room for mining to take place; either way, it’ll take tuning on individual devices to ensure system stability and optimal mining performance. I could see this potentially being successful on free games.

It’d be great if the DCR could mine BTC, but it doesn’t as it hashes the Blake14R algorithm, and wattage, hashrate and miner pricing varies from miner to miner, and just because a chip can hash at a certain speed on one alto doesn’t mean that it can do the same on another. It’d be great if the S9 could mine Ethereum at 14TH, but it can’t. We’ll eventually see more Scrypt miners come up if mining companies feel the profitability of the algo is good enough, and their chips have a good enough increase in efficiency to make it profitable to make new miners.

Seems to me the best you can do at this moment is either wait or request Bitfinex to possibly stop the wire transfer process, and perhaps use another exchange or service to get funds wired to your account. Seems like they really can’t do anything about this; consider a P2P transaction if you still want to get a bank wire. The funds likely still haven’t moved yet, so there shouldn’t be too many issues if you want to get your funds back.

It's really anyone's guess at this point, but there's just been so much bearish news in this bear market that most price movements upwards have been crushed, like exchange hacks (a Japanese exchange was recently compromised according to this tweet). I can only really see a breakout in the near future if extremely bullish news comes out.

I usually browse Reddit for some of my Bitcoin news, but I've had to stop because half of the bitcoin reddit sub that I browse regularly is just people talking about how prices could be worse and/or memes. Seems everyone's waiting out the storm at this point, but it's just annoying that a sub can be all memes when there's no bullish news because people only upvote bullish news and downvote bearish news. Oh well.
