That would be true if the bonus rate lasted forever, which it doesn't. 

Whoever is spamming twitter with re-tweets please stop.  We do not need spam to support this coin and it is obvious when fake accounts are used. 

There's been over 3BTC volume on yobit in the last 24 hrs! Looks like a good bump up in nutwork hashrate as well. Hodl on to your nuts folks...winter is coming.

Anyone that wants a working/worthy block explorer please consider donating BTC to the bounty @1BountyAyfaj2LRD2VhTY5iyfgjg79nmSx .Fuzzbawls has been working crazy hard and from the screenshots and updates he has given it is looking amazing.  This bounty is only to pay for server rental and general upkeep so anything helps and is greatly appreciated!

Nope.  Interest is calculated on the blockchain so you do not need the wallet open.

It's especially ridiculous because this Zoltan character is mining in a pool, paying the 2% fee, and likely getting drastically fewer HOdl than if he/she would solo mine.

If you're ok sacrificing ~25% of your hashrate..go for it.

Have you checked out the interest calculator yet? It's a great resource.

That's a nice haul! Now is the time to mine for sure with such a low net hashrate.

We will probably see a GPU miner eventually.  It is not in the works though atm.  The current priority in terms of mining is focused on pools.

Work is being done on a standalone CPU miner that will allow pool mining.  It will be announced when completed.

I've got some BTC on the way to buy some more HOdl...I was pissed when I saw it drop that low and come back up and I couldn't buy any! 575 HOdl @ 5001sats are you kidding me?!

Most likely due to miners dumping coins they mined with vps free trials.  It is too expensive to mine otherwise and it has already recovered.  Great time to buy when they get that low! HOdl will likely not get that low again.

If you don't want to type it out every time you start the wallet you can just make a batch file in the same location as your wallet that says the same thing and just click the batch file to start your miner.  If you don't know how, just make a .txt file with notepad and once you save it, change the file extension type to .bat

I have had 7 instances running in DigitalOcean for 3 days straight getting 25-30h/s each and haven't had any issues.  Between all 7 I have only found 2 blocks so I guess you can decide if that's worth it or not. I'm only running so many because I have $10 referral bonus on top of what I deposited and am going to stop once my funds are out.  I recommend Google's compute engine free trial. You can run 4 instances at about 100h/s each.

Not sure if this has been brought to your attention but on a windows machine when trying to use 25% or more of the available RAM by the use of ""minermemory=" in the configuration file I get the Microsoft visual C++ Runtime Library error, "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way." then the wallet crashes. I have tried this on two separate windows computers.  Not a huge deal as I have had more success using all cpu threads on a single gig of memory, but it seems noteworthy.

This is straight from the email I received from them, "Send your link to friends or invite them right from your control panel. They’ll get $10 in credit just for signing up and, as soon as they’ve spent $25 with us, you get $25 in credit." It's possible they changed their policy recently, I'm not really sure.

I'm sorry about the quoting, I will edit my posts right away. I'm not a very active forum poster so I apologize if I'm not quite up to par on the etiquette.

I think it would be helpful to note that the add-apt-repository program isn't always included in Debian and can be added using

Not spamming, I only posted the reference code because you get $10 if you use it, If someone wants to use a different cloud service to mine or sign up and not get free credit then good on them, but I spent a lot of time figuring out how to get it up and running and wanted to put together a start to finish guide for anyone that doesn't want to have to piece together posts from all throughout this thread and maybe doesn't even know where to start and part of that is figuring out where you can actually cloud mine. I looked at a lot of sites and read through terms and agreements and a lot of cloud servers only allow 100% cpu usage for brief intervals and will ban you for mining 24/7 so I thought I'd share which service I ended up using.  I have no duty to get new customers and only get free credit if a referral spends $25 which I wouldn't and didn't recommend as you can get 500 hours of mining for $5.  I appreciate looking out for spammers because I hate that shit in these forums too and I almost didn't use the the ref code for that exact reason, but it seems that the benefit for anyone that uses it far outweighs the possibility of me being misunderstood as a spammer.

Been lurking around this topic mining HOdl for a couple days and thought I'd put together a little could mining tutorial for anyone who's interested.
I can't promise any coins as I haven't managed to find any blocks on my 3 seperate 2cpu clouds running for 2 days straight at 30h/s each LOL...but if you feel like spending money you can upgrade to something a little faster.

I've been using www.digitalocean.com/?refcode=f880234fe461 (referral link will get you $10 free credit, but you have to spend $5 to activate account regardless)

The 2cpu option is $.03/hour so with the $10 credit and $5 activation you can mine for 500 hours.

Once activated, click the green "create droplet" in the upper right corner of the page.

Use Ubuntu as OS (Debian will work but requires more work to get bitcoin repository)

Select cloud Specs(2 CPU is the only one available by default and anything better requires a deposit. $10 extra got me access to the 4g ram 2cpu which was useless and I'm not sure what it takes to get the better ones.)

All other variables are optional but if you are a beginner just leave it default and create the droplet.

Once it's done, click "more" next to your droplet and chose "access console" from the drop-down list.

Now type "root" and hit enter.  It will prompt you for a password which was emailed to you upon creation of the droplet. (You will need to enter it twice and change it to something else.)

Once you are logged into root you can get started.  Enter these commands one at a time, hitting enter after each and allow the process to finish completely before entering the next.  Many of them will require that you select Y for yes or N for no.  Always chose y then hit enter.
From here you will create your configuration file.  I recommend the following
Note DO NOT use quotation marks around wallet address in your .conf file.  This will mine blocks to a blank address and you will NOT receive any HOdl.

Once complete, ctrl+o to write, then ctrl+x to exit nano

Now to start the miner and view its progress, enter the following commands
To exit the status of debug.log you can use ctrl+c

To stop the miner once out of debug.log use,
Once started you can leave the webpage and it will continue mining.  

If anyone finds typos, incorrect information, or has any critique let me know and i will correct the post.

Feel free to ask any questions and I will help as much as possible!
