1922  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: HaoBTC Standard Hashrate Exchange (Hash-Ex) is launched! on: December 02, 2016, 05:36:28 PM
I have one TH/s both at HaoBTC HashEx (150 W) and ViaBTC. Cost is about the same but daily returns are slightly higher .00005 btc at ViaBTC. Will see if the two services even out after a week.

Edit: after a week ViaBTC is consistently paying out .00005 to .000054 bitcoin per TH/s per day more than HaoBTC. That is not insignificant and could mean an investment at ViaBTC returns your investment one month earlier.
1923  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] HaoBTC, mining dividend paid out hourly on: December 02, 2016, 05:30:05 PM
Kudos to HaoBTC for transparency on their HashEX hosted bitcoin mining. As an experiment I bought 1 TH/s hosted bitcoin mining both at HaoBTC and ViaBTC. ViaBTC charges 0.21 bitcoin per TH/s rather than 0.20 at HaoBTC but daily returns are very slightly higher at ViaBTC, on the order of .00005 per day, a few cents more in profit per day. I think the difference is due to higher power fee charged by HaoBTC: they charge 1.152 cny per day per TH/s while ViaBTC only charges 0.84 cny per day per TH/s.

More efficient miners may also play a role. HaoBTC claims 150 W/Th/s while ViaBTC uses 100 W/Th/s. ViaBTC states they are using Antminer S9 while I think HaoBTC is using Avalon? The Avalon 721 draws 150 W/TH/s.

If you are running Android Marshmallow or Nougat Breadwallet is probably most secure since it takes advantage of hardware level encryption those OS provide. If you do not have a newer Android phone Mycelium is also a good choice, and also works with Trezor or Ledger Nano S.
1925  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scam alert : Do NOT INVEST in Genesis Mining on: December 01, 2016, 07:02:34 PM
Genesis Mining is legitimate but they are in this to make money for themselves and their investors first remember. The dirty secret they try to hide from investors is the very high daily fees they charge. For SHA-256 they charge $0.35 per TH per day. That means over half your mining profit goes to Genesis Mining in terms of fees. That is not fair and there are alternatives. BW.com only charges $0.26 per TH per day while ViaBTC is lowest at $0.16 per TH per day. Hashnest is not selling hosted S9 mining yet.
1926  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Should i Trust Genesis Mining on: December 01, 2016, 06:54:51 PM
Hashnest does not sell hosted S9 mining yet only the less profitable S7. If you are looking for lower fees than Genesis Mining see BW.com charges $0.26 per TH per day for B16 mining contracts and ViaBTC only charges $0.16.
1927  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Newbie needing help plz on: November 30, 2016, 06:08:25 PM
Good idea to use one wallet at a time until you learn the ins and outs. As long as you saved the seed phrase of the first Elecrum wallet your bitcoin are safe. The txid you posted is not valid.
1928  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Problem with bw.com ( cloud mining ) phone verification on: November 30, 2016, 05:38:55 PM
BW.com is as legitimate as Bitmain Hashnest. I invested 0.78 bitcoin in earlier B-Eleven hosted mining back last October and just withdrew over 0.80 bitcoin in earnings, and the investment is still active so overall a decent place to park some bitcoin. The newest investment is B-16 hosted mining.

  • BW.com B-16 cost is 0.29 bitcoin per TH/s with daily fee $0.26 per TH/s
  • Genesis Mining bitcoin hashing $150 per TH/s with daily fee of $0.35 per TH/s
  • ViaBTC cloud mining 0.21 bitcoin per TH/s with daily fee $0.16 per TH/s

Hashnest is not selling hosted S9 hashing at present , only S7.
1929  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Should i Trust Genesis Mining on: November 29, 2016, 07:21:41 PM
A pool I am using is paying out 0.00090755 Per TH/s a day or $0.66. Genesis Mining is not transparent at all and makes it hard to find out what their fees are, but a close look at the contract reveals the daily fees for bitcoin are $0.35 per TH/s. That means over half the daily mining income is eaten up by the high fees Genesis Mining charges. When you buy hashpower at Genesis Mining you can not sell it and are just putting money in the corporate till. You paid for their miners and power supplies but are getting less than half of the mining payouts. You are subsidizing their mining operation so it is a win win for Genesis Mining. They have the gall to claim their customers are getting a good deal.

1931  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: November 26, 2016, 06:30:43 PM
The harder decision for me lately has been what percentage of overall crypto to keep in BITCOIN versus MONERO.

XMR clearly has more long-term upward potential, from this current sub-$10 that really IMHO should already be $50-$100, and maybe even better short-term upward potential with possibly less downside too.

So, logically if true, that'd mean "all in" on ONLY XMR would be best, but I somehow can't bring myself to completely abandon Honey Badger either LOL

I still hold more bitcoin than anything else but my ratio of XMR/BTC probably really SHOULD be higher. 

Just can't really decide how much is "correct" lately Sad


Monero is still a very speculative coin. On the plus side it is one of the very few altcoins that have made a higher high than when trading started. While it is fun to consider $100 Monero remember that the September high of .0265 has to be taken out first and that is not going to be easy. 95% bitcoin to 5% Monero is a conservative ratio. I have a hard time recommending more because a reliable hardware wallet for Monero does not exist yet. Other than an official GUI release of a hardware wallet should drive price up.
1932  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: Noob question how to I get my bitcoin wallet address on: November 26, 2016, 12:49:20 AM
Hi all I downloaded electrum and registered my account

Where do I find my bitcoin wallet address? Or do I get one from another source?


If you have Electrum 2.7.12 open and synced go to wallet > addresses and a new tab labeled Addresses will appear. You will have a list of receiving addresses. When you select the Receive tab you will use the first address in the list and so on. As you use addresses new ones will cycle in.
1933  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: viabtc.com will be launching cloud mining service on: November 25, 2016, 03:49:26 AM
I was curious about the ViaBTC cloud mining offer since they are using S9s and have a reasonable fee structure. Electric rates are good. I bought the minimum 1TH/s for 0.21 bitcoin and have been getting payouts every day. With less than a weeks' payouts it is hard to make projections but breakeven should be about 300 days.

If you decide to participate make sure you pay from a wallet like Electrum which lets you sign messages with a bitcoin address, you will need to do that to transfer your hashpower to the website. Or you can just continue to receive daily payouts to your bitcoin address you signed up with.

At the ViaBTC website they show daily payout per TH/s to be 0.00090491 bitcoin. After fees deducted I have been receiving about .0007 per day for my single TH/s. After a week has passed I will update this post with the weekly payout.
1934  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: I need a better cheap solution to a paper wallet on: November 21, 2016, 03:08:11 AM
If you have a spare laptop you are not using and do not mind leaving it offline from now on use Electrum cold storage. You sign transactions on the offline computer, take to the online computer with a USB drive then broadcast. For $65 you can buy a Ledger Nano S which is a heckuva lot more convenient. If you don't own enough bitcoin to justify $65 for really secure storage you may as well use Breadwallet on your phone.
1935  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: November 19, 2016, 04:16:18 PM
What was the reason behind that massive pump when Monero skyrocketed? ?

An email service that runs on Tor called SIGAINT sent out a mass email to customers announcing they had started a public Monero node on Tor. That got the ball rolling, and several dark net markets shortly after announced Monero integration.

Just set your fee manually using https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ as a guide. BTW I just sent from bc.info using advanced send and the suggested fee was reasonable and low.
1937  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Best Hardware Wallet on: November 13, 2016, 06:34:56 PM
I am planning on purchasing a hardware wallet and would like to know which is best to use? I am looking towards getting an trezor but i also know there is ledger (probably not wise since there is no input on the device to confirm transactions) and keepkey but dont know which would be best. If you use one of these three i listed, do you think it would be a good fit to use or should I use something else?
I just think you should make sure you have a reason to spend ~$100 on a hardware wallet when there are plenty of very secure methods out there already that don't require a purchase.

The other methods out there are not bulletproof like a hardware wallet. You have to get your private keys offline where malware can not reach them. Paper wallets are not convenient and have their own problems. Really a hardware wallet is the best purchase someone who uses bitcoin can make. No one has ever had bitcoin stolen from a Trezor. Think about that for a moment and weigh the minimal cost versus the long term benefits. You can set up cold storage using Electrum or Armory and two computers but try to carry that with you. Any methods using a USB stick expose your private keys at some point, same with paper wallets. I think that owning a hardware wallet separates the serious bitcoin holder from the just started. There is no downside to using a Trezor or Nano S and you can rest easy knowing your bitcoin are as secure as possible but can still be safely spent. I have been using Trezors since they were introduced so have an affinity for that brand but also own and like the Ledger Nano S.

KeepKey uses forked Trezor source code. Which is legal to do but why not support the original instead? At present both Trezor and Ledger Nano S would work well for you. Nano S does not yet allow passphrase protected wallets but that is on the roadmap. Both Trezor and Nano S work with Mycelium on your Android phone and the new Nano S does confirm transactions on the device. I would not buy the older Nano as the Nano S is better in all respects.

Nano S also supports Ether which Trezor does not (yet) if that is important to you. I use both Trezor and Nano S and the Trezor is more comfortable to use in the hand, more ergonomic. Nano S takes two hands to use. If price is important to you the Nano S is 2/3 the price of the Trezor.

Fibonacci levels overlap so 0.01 to 0.111 is heavy overhead resistance. Good news if price can advance past 0.0111 and hold.

1940  Other / MultiBit / Re: MultiBit on: November 10, 2016, 09:03:28 PM
how is working multibit? i didn't use it in a long time

I am not having a good experience with Multibit HD 0.4.1. Every time I try to run it my antivirus quarantines it even if I add an exception for the .exe. I quit trying and just use Electrum or Core instead. No problems with either one of them. No plans to change my security set up just to please one contrary bitcoin wallet when there are other good choices.
