I store all my bitcoin in my home computer wallets, not the online web wallet. I think it is much safer.

Ethereum will not take over Bitcoin, at least in the medium term. There are many people building infrastrucutres for bitcoin. Ethereum is still new.

Is it possible to reach 0.1 BTC ETH  Huh Huh Huh Huh

Make that 0.25 ETH/BTC...   it's only a quarter folks!!!   Grin

0.1 bitcoin is possible in short term if there is big hype. In long term, the price could be 0.05 bitcoin if the Ethereum is really useful.

Hello everyone, and that now the reward for block 1 ground Huh
1 hour of mining only 2 coins ((
it's sad, because this same power is now possible to do 0,035 BTC in the place of those which can be obtained extracting soil 0.002
Well... yeah. Right now for mining to be profitable with soil, its price must be MUCH higher than it is. But we have little control over it, unfortunately.
If the blocktime is reajusted there is 5760 SOIl per day to earn and that is about 0.17 BTC @ 3000Sat.
Not so bad and if gets value from application in the future it can be 100x more.
I agree with the current blocktime with 1 hour or more you need much patience for your rewards.

6 minute 1 block?? and that you consider normal? who will earn a coin if production costs exceed mined? currently 2 video card 7970 earned 0.045  BTC per day, or soil - 0,002 BTC at the price of "4500" there is a difference? cheaper to produce another coin, 1/10 buy and sell land and then come profitable)
good luck or something)

Do you mean 2 7970 can earn 0.045 bitcoin per day? That is about $18 for 2 7970. That is very good.

What is the network hash rate at present?

Bitcoin is one of the safest payment methods there is on the planet.

Also the wallets are very secured look at the blockchain 2 way verification needed.

I think its the easiest and safest way to hold money and to pay.

It is the safest payment method for the time being. If the block size does not increase, the transaction fee will be very high. This will affects it adoption. It might die as people will use other coins.

The price suddenly fell below 6$. Any idea? 

bitcoin is rising. that could trigger a bigger correction.


The Bitcoin price has risen 12%. But the Ethereyn dollar price does not change much. So it is just the price relative to bitcoin drops.
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Expanse (EXP) - Fair Launch, No ICO, Community DAO, based on Ethereum on: February 13, 2016, 08:31:03 AM

What I am 100% certain of, the team was shocked by it all, happy, but shocked. My best estimate was that it was just a perfect storm of some large investors, interest, and small investors all hitting at once.

So the team does not know the pump is coming? How many Expanse coins does the development own? Have they sold any?
28  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Expanse (EXP) - Fair Launch, No ICO, Community DAO, based on Ethereum on: February 12, 2016, 08:16:43 AM
I have a more serous question about this project. As far as I understand it the only real innovation is the community DAO, which by itself is not really that innovative at all, there are other projects that have already done this.

However as far as I understand it, this is being presented as an alternative to Ethereum. I do not see what is wrong with Ethereum however since its launch was fair. Ethereum still requires a lot of development work, and I do not see how this project will be able to overtake the network effect and development that Ethereum has. I am even wondering if Expanse will be able to keep up with updating when Ethereum is updated and changed.

Furthermore I do not think that the governance of Ethereum is necessarily flawed. If you really wanted to tackle that problem there should have been a allotment in the block reward that allocates a certain percentage to Expanse funding which would then have to be voted upon by some process. Dash and Bitshares are both examples of such a process. Having a singular pre-mine like this which is supposedly decided upon by the community, with such a small group of founders, and small community I do not necessarily see that working out well.

I do not see any type of great innovation or need that this project is filling, besides maybe peoples greed wanting to jump onto the "next Ethereum" as Ethereum is currently going parabolic.

So yes I am here critiquing this cryptocurrency. Please correct me if I am wrong with a convincing argument and I might even invest myself. Wink

This coin was launched without ICO, that is mainly because it is a clone of Ethereum. Most of the development was done by Ethereum with ICO money.

The Etereum and Expanse are also rising fast. Ethereum has risen for a month. The Expanse started yesterday. Now it is Soil.
30  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoins safe? on: February 12, 2016, 08:11:29 AM
Yes, the bitcoin is a very safe method for payments, plus its also fast.
The only thing you need is a secured wallet, use blockchain or something.

For online shop payment in my country, you have to wait at least 1 confirmation to confirm your order with the retailer. It is slower than credit cards.
31  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you earn a lot of free bitcoins fast? on: February 11, 2016, 08:01:24 AM
Mostly i earn a lot of free bitcoin fast is by gambling, it depend my luck though. if i'm lucky enough i can earn bitcoin fast. and usually i use my money from signature campaign forr gambling.

 good to hear that you are using your extra earning from signature campaign and earn good when you are lucky.. but still, it is risky to gamble..  Smiley

If you want treat gambling as entertainment, there is no problem with that. If you want to earn living from gambling, it is difficult.
32  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoins safe? on: February 11, 2016, 07:59:44 AM
I think Bitcoin to be very safe themselves.
It is also easier to use, etc.
But I think the online wallets are less secure.

The online wallet themselves are quite secure. But if an insider wants to steal your money, it is quite easy. They can claim it is hacked.
33  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Impossible to get positive ROI with current hardware, electricity 7 eurocents/kw on: February 11, 2016, 07:58:17 AM
the best opportunity for mining, is when a new asic is launched, there is a windows of about 1 month, where the profit is very high, then it will be died in 3-4 month, if you don't have super cheap electricity like your

repeat with the next new asic, so s7 is done already it was good last year, now wait for the new asic beast to come out

When the new ASIC comes out in April, it has only two month to mine before the block reward halving. It might not ROI.

well but the new miners are done on purpose to face the halving, with double of the efficiency mayeb like it was for the s7 in comparison to the s5

so they should stand against the halving

The 16 nm miner shall not ROI for the people with over $0.15/kWh electricity price even though its efficiency is higher, the difficulty will also be higher.
34  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] SOIL - Environmentally Conscious, Community Driven, Provable Transparency on: February 10, 2016, 09:13:34 AM
thanks folks. i sent the 11.5k SOIL to jan earlier today, it arrived without issues, and ive received the .1BTC in return, so ill be getting the yobit listing set up right away, then... 2 business days... prolly thursday... we should have SOIL finally listed on a second exchange.... thanks for the support everyone~!

I think there is a good community effort here to make the listing happen. It is great to list the coin and develop it further.

It's very hard to make a living trading bitcoin unless you have a lot of it already.  Also, it's easy to lose money on scams and failed exchanges like Cryptsy.  I lost a lot of money on that exchange when it folded.  I was just starting to figure out how to make a small profit.

Cryptsy was the biggest altcoin exchange for 3 years. But it still scammed its users. It is not safe to trade.
36  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hard Fork = Bitcoins * 2 ? on: February 10, 2016, 09:01:53 AM
If the Classic chain has more hashing power than the Core chain, will blockstream's work be based on the classic chain?
37  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning on: February 10, 2016, 08:59:41 AM
ETH will never surpass bitcoin

Bitcoin is it's largest source of liquidity so when bitcoin sneezes, all ETH holders catch the flu

Bitcoin is Ethereums father.

ETH devs just pumping to pull in more bitcoins before halving pump

Its a mirage


Do you mean the Ether developers think the price of bitcoin will be higher after halving so they pump the Ether to sell and buy bitcoin instead?

yes but you will have two crap coins without any value. No one will leave their money in a system that will fork whatever on group want to.

That is right. If the bitcoin is split into two coins, either of those will worth less initially. One will die in long term.

Cool, well built. I like the examples they've added for use cases.

nice to see you here! with all the shit going on in the bitcoin-world eth seems like a good "safe haven"

Nice to see you too! I've been following Ethereum for over a year now. It's the only alt (if you can call it that) which brings anything really new and meaningful to the table. And since its main purpose is everything else than money, there's far less right wing nutters going completely ape in ethereum. Haven't really accumulated much eth though, but I finally ordered a used graphics card to do some mining.

Ethereum is going to be big. Bitcoin may be what the IMF and Wall Street has been waiting for. But Ethereum is what the world has been waiting for. And if their decision to cap total amount of eth sticks, their token should be quite valuable as well.

I think the decision is not to cap the total amount of Eth. The Eth to be issued every year is fixed. The inflation will be low in the future.
