Mine too has become corrupt and needed reindexing. Sure it didn't take as long as downloading the whole blockchain but its still a painful process. Nothing else on the HDD had any issues.

Maybe an INCA KOIN online Marketplace.

This would be difficult. A new currency with small backup. People need to get behind it, see some innovation before it can boom.

Sorry guys but I cannot afford to put any more power at all into this one. I've lost too much on this block.

Looks like Bitman is getting some competition. No solid details yet, but here's the thread. I'll give them a try. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=985400.0

Yeah well lets hope this motivates Bitmain to be a little more competitive with their pricing!

It must be possible to disassemble without ruining it like that. A small drill press and grip with leather for protection around the frame you could drill out the screws using a very small drill bit, rewind the screw and lift the case off. Check the key, replace with screws and drill out the head.

HUGE block for 11PH. Where did this pool BW.COM come from? They appeared over night and have some big power. Oh and its a Chinese pool and google translate doesn't translate the page.

I Am 100% that  China Will Control Take More than 80% of BTC Mining Before 2020.


This is true but it will probably happen sooner than later, have not been around for awhile is there a ban still in china?

Yes, but I doubt mining operations will be banned though. Bitcoin is banned, not the mining operations.
Bitcoin is restricted. Transactions can still be made with Bitcoin between people but banks are not allowed to handle transactions associated with Bitcoin.

Maybe that will allow them to mine bitcoins but won't allow them to dump into the exchanges. Kind of good then

How can a bank prove a transaction is bitcoin associated lol. If I sold bitcoins on Localbitcoins, for example, and someone did a cash deposit the bank cannot find out what the transaction was for? On what premise can they conclude it was related to bitcoin. Bitcoins(just like WoW gold etc) are useless to the Chinese, the USD is all they care about.

All he is going to tell you to do is charge back your PayPal payments or creditcard payments. If this is the case, I hope the next package you get off eBay punches you in the face. There is no way POSSIBLE to legally obtain anything free on eBay.

I am not surprise that China has the most mining as the price of bitcoin explosion in the end of 2013 because of Chinese people.

Actually it is quite surprising since Bitcoin in China is not really welcome by the authorities. I guess they are mining under cover of other IT projects and while doing so they managed to beat everyone.

They will do what ever it takes to get any USD they can.
31  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is the rumor about the latest 50,000 BTC auction true? on: March 07, 2015, 10:35:57 AM
50K bitcoin is around 13 million at todays conversion rate. Seems a lot of money to me. Where does the entire 39 million go after the acution ?

I don't know the background of this situation with these coins but if there are people involved and their coins stolen, they will all be repaid. The rest of the money goes to the state or remains seized.

I don't think anyone is repaid, as it was coins confiscated from the silk road. And those are coins which people have used to buy drugs , and other illegal stuff.
None of them will be asking the government for their coins to be given back to them.


Ah fair enough. I thought it was a scam situation. If this is the case then the money will go to the crown/state or seized.

They should maybe ban the internet in this region, use security teams to disarm the internet in this part of the world. The internet and network access is their recruiting tool, their threatening tool, their ONLY tool to the outside world. DISABLE THEM. EMP THEM. Send them to the damn stone age.

Kind of curious if Chinese will manage to keep majority of coins they mine, or all the product ends up shipped overseas figuratively speaking...

HA. China keep the bitcoin? Absolutely not a chance in hell. These same people setting up these huge mining rigs in China are the same people who pay people there $2 a day to mine gold in online games for 12hrs a day. What do they do with this gold? Sell it for USD. What do they do with bitcoin? Sell it for USD.

What else do they do? They scam and hack accounts in online games ALL THE TIME to steal valuable items and sell them off. Believe me if they could conjure a plan to steal your bitcoins, you won't have them anymore. If they had the capacity to work together to build a >51% mining network, they will be double spending faster than you can question it.

Wow, why would someone actually pay 30% more while there are still some high orders available to be sold at lower prices (even if a pump takes place) which would not equate it to 30% above?

How many exchanges are there that currently have 50k bitcoins for sale at a fixed price? If you bought 1k bitcoins from any exchange, it would be EXTREMELY unlikely that the orders on that exchange will still be in the same price range. I just checked Cryptsy, yes a small exchange, but there isn't even 20 bitcoins available for sale there and if all those sold, the price would be pumped to 300. Buying all those coins you're already seeing a increase is 22%. There is no way 50k bitcoins WILL sell and still keep each bitcoin under $338 a piece.

Do you also realise how many dollars you need to buy 50k bitcoins? $13.3 million USD @ $266 a piece.

So you are basically saying that the only reason one shall buy bitcoin from auctions like that is to buy large sum at once without manipulation bitcoin price? It may the case. But I find it easier to buy bitcoin from various exchanges in small packs say - less than 1k btc at once.

Far too risky. 1k at a time from various exchanges is still going to be 50 transactions spread across multiple exchanges. Again back to the 50k quantity bitcoin, if someone did have the capacity to buy it all at once, what would you need to say to this person to convince them that A; their details are safe with you, B; their dollars are safe with you and C; they are guaranteed to receive their 50k btc. This 30% figure being thrown around could be a security the client is willing to pay to ensure a 100% safe, true, legitimate sale of the bitcoin.

Someone else said "its an auction, its meant to sell under". Not true. I've been to private auctions, things like computers, furniture, TV etc sell cheap. Things like gold, jewelry and other items which are of true high value will generally sell quite close to their value. Some jewelry I've seen has been oversold in value simply because of what it is.

Core members of Mycoin scam busted by police, mastermind still at large. HK police detained 5 people, who are believed to be core members the Mycoin Scam.
Over 50 victims aged from 20-70 with total loss around  74 million HKD, not 3 billion as previously stated.


full report(in Chinese):
http://www.8btc.com/mycoin-74-millions

Never heard of this exchange. Did they have any operation outside China ?

I don't think this was an exchange. It was a ponzi; pyramid scheme, a scam what ever you like to call it.

Why would I be scared? Its not that it "might" suceed. Its already on the right path and its done more than succeed. Its survived numerous tests in my opinion.

Being tech savvy will help any bitcoin user. Its most commonly a fault with general public users who have no idea how to secure their bitcoin, let alone their machines.
