I feel by Ransomware, people able to know about Bitcoin worldwide, as there is too many people who just don't know still about it

Is that the reason why the bitcoin rose a lot soon after the ransomware appearance?
22  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: RANSOMWARE impact on: May 14, 2017, 06:59:42 AM
Question with this ransomware, is this limited to those who are known to be users of Bitcoins or this ransomware attack can happen to anyone. Is there a way to at least see if what you are downloading online includes a ransomware. Is there a way to at least avoid this like activating or deactivatikn some function in your OS.

This can happen to any one. The ones who had not known bitcoin before will become bitcoin users later.

Are there any hashrates differences between rx 480 4gb and 8gb?

my cards
480 4gb - 295
480 8GB -305

Do they have the same memory?

There are some people which thinks like it's written on thread's title but such relationship with bitcoin simply wasting of time because bitcoin is great cryptocurrency for trading which gives you opportunity to get good profit. Bitcoin is money, it's currency and it's exchangeable to any local currency so keeping bitcoins and not selling, I can't explain why someone will do this. Buy it, sell it and sometimes hold for higher profit, that will be good.
Correct, there is no reason to not take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves and give to us the opportunity to get easy profits without too much of an effort such an opportunity present it itself with the now all time highs we reached weeks ago it was obvious the price was going to get lower so if you sold and then you bought when the price was below one thousand then you made some easy profit.

That is right. The bitcoin price is very low due to the transaction congestion. When the block size is increased together with the Segwit, the price will rise a lot.

what settings are you guys using to get 300sol from a 7970? best I can get is 265sol using claymore 12.4.

any advice appreciated

I have a sapphire 7970 non-ghz edition that I had to modify the bios in order to unlock higher clock speeds. It is currently running at 1175 core and 1700 Memclock. I am getting about 306H/s with this settings. If you settings max out at 1545 something on the memclock you will need to reflash your bios with, I think it was the vapor-x 7970 bios. That allowed me to use higher clock settings.

That is still too low. I am at 1125/1500 and get 330 Sol/s with Reference HD 7970.

I think that is the right speed as the stock 7970 runs at about 300H/s.

it's a 100% no. there's absolutely nothing solidx can change about the main things the sec objected to. the rejection was all about the overall state of the bitcoin market.

i am interested to know why they haven't withdrawn it.

There are two reasons why the twin ETF was rejected. The situation has not changed in the last 20 days.
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v12.3 (Windows/Linux) on: March 08, 2017, 05:32:33 PM
To all: you can see low speed at highest possible "-i" value, if so, reduce it. For example, you specify "-i 8" for 280X 3GB card, miner reduces it to "-i 7" automatically (shows "not enough GPU memory" message), but it may work much slower than "-i 6".
So if you see that new version is slower than old version - try to reduce "-i" value a bit.
In some cases you can increase "-i" value, for example, in my tests Nano cards work best with v12.2 using "-i 7", but for v12.3 "-i 8" is faster.

@Claymore Can you make something to improve 380 series? Currently I have 210H. Too low... Thank you in advance

Tonga is really weak for ZEC.

why my nano can't use -i 8?

AMD Cards available: 3
GPU #0: Fiji, 4096 MB available, 56 compute units
GPU #1: Fiji, 4096 MB available, 64 compute units
GPU #1 recognized as Fury X/Nano
GPU #2: Fiji, 4096 MB available, 64 compute units
GPU #2 recognized as Fury X/Nano
POOL version
GPU #0 is going to use too high intensity (Cool, not enough GPU memory, intensity value reduced (7)
GPU #0 algorithm ASM, intensity 7
GPU #1 is going to use too high intensity (Cool, not enough GPU memory, intensity value reduced (7)
GPU #1 algorithm ASM, intensity 7
GPU #2 is going to use too high intensity (Cool, not enough GPU memory, intensity value reduced (7)
GPU #2 algorithm ASM, intensity 7

Also, why do the compute units differ between your cards?

ZEC: GPU0 455.346 H/s, GPU1 481.857 H/s, GPU2 460.153 H/s
v12.3 -i 7
gpu0 is fury
gpu1 is fury x
gpu2 is nano
for v12.2 can't use -i 7 , for v.12.3 i can use -i 7 but can't -i 8

I think that's pretty normal, my Fury default to i6 and I see the same ballpark speed. Honestly doesn't even change if I force it to i5 or i4

That is right. My R9 Nano run better on -i 7 in 12.3 and -i 6 in 12.2.

the bitcoin price is now 1350 $ how to hell to don`t sell them , if the bitcoin price will go down i will lose some important money.

You can see the whole potential of bitcoin nowadays.And still the value of it continue as the bitcoin prices increases.
In fact we can see that people who buy bitcoin in early time gained too much now, and so do we, the price of it will still
grow as the time goes by.
People have different prediction if the price of bitcoin will drecerease or increase.  If you think the price of bitcoin is okay or good sell your bitcoin but if you think it will grow up more wait until the price will hit. Like me my price is $1500 per bitcoin if will hit that price I will sell all of my bitcoin that I have. I don't think its is good idea never sell bitcoin. What you gonna do if stock it forever "display". Your waisting money . what if the bitcoin price is 10k dollars your so ignorant if you don't sell it. We are in the online world the purpose why we here is to earn money .

I will buy more bitcoin as I think the price will rise.
29  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: January 04, 2017, 09:17:12 AM
U should sell ur bitcoins no matter what and u should do it once in a month .as u know the bitcoins have risk and it may br banned by ur country ,thrn what can u do? Thats y it is better to sell ur bitcoins now and then .
I am not sure a country ban could stifle the growth of bitcoin as you will have many other options to get the coins and can covert to other coins and can  book your profits and the risk factor is always there i an form of investment and so everyone will be aware of the risks involved.

So we need mass adoption.

Bitcoins are a great store of value but that doesn't mean that you should never sell, look what happened to the people that used to say "house prices will never go down" they lost the lot.

Just use bitcoins as an everyday currency, buy a few things online, a debit card for in store purchases and save the rest just as you would with normal fiat cash. This really only works best if you are currently receiving your pay check in bitcoins to start with but if not there are a few good companies that will handle the trade for you each week/fortnight.

I have never sold any bitcoin to get fiat. I just use it to buy things.
31  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: December 10, 2016, 05:44:10 PM
It is very easy to say something like this. But it is very difficult to implement them in real life. I never had Bitcoin holdings of more than BTC0.1. Whenever my holdings got above a certain threshold, I sold them for fiat. Don't have much of an option, as I am facing a cash crunch.

If you do not sell and hold them for the long term, you could have been quite rich by now. The price has risen many times.
32  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: November 24, 2016, 08:33:43 AM
I regret having sold 6 bitcoin several months ago, I think prices will continue to fall but bitcoin several weeks after I sell price is thus increased. And now I have to buy bitcoin again and I will hold for a long time or price reach $2000 or more.
There's nothing to regret if you have made profit selling your bitcoins, you can buy now and hold for more years, that way you will make more profit. It's all about the right timing mate, you just have to stay patient if you are really waiting for a good price to hit before you sell.

Indeed you should not even have than regret because you made profit, selling bitcoins is never good when you have the feeling you can make profit but on the other hand profit stays profit no matter what.
The fact is you cannot hold bitcoin forever, otherwise you will not enjoy it's value. Be wise, sell at the right timing.
You are right, timing is the most important in investing. The timing to get in and get out and the timing to buy and sell. It's important to ensure that we can have at least a profit when we will be selling our bitcoins, and as a way to guarantee that we enjoy the value, we must spend as well.

However, it is very to get the timing right. The bitcoin price is too volatile. When you buy , the price could drop.
33  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: November 22, 2016, 07:47:50 AM
They are waiting for the right time to sell thier bitcoins..10 years would the minimum to store it  on a cold wallet and max of 20 years.
Maybe some day 1 btc is equal to  a sportscar.
Yeah thats good idea in investing and strategy to make someone rich but you must have a patient to get this method work.

In bitcoin investment, what you need is just the patience. If you hold long enough, you will be very rich.
34  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: November 05, 2016, 09:52:18 PM
I will try to hold the most of the coins i do have at 2017, this year i had talked to my self will be the last year i do sell my bitcoins as well do invest them, but its something very hard to make saving bitcoins, there is always a project that you do wanna test, and support.

Everyone at the first place wants to hold their bitcoins longer in order to get more profits out of it but they actually sell a part of it because they need to, and when we sell later on we see the price growing and then we regret for doing that, but still we should save a portion of it if we cant save all of it i guess, that is what i do, i just sell a small part of it and keep the other for future.
It is not about you should sell your bitcoin or not it is about getting as much bitcoin as you can so one day you wouldn't have to exchange your bitcoin you can use them directly anywhere and to buy anything.

Those times will come, almost all of us here believe in this but for now Bitcoin is used mostly like a good investment and unfortunately some of us, me included, can't afford to hold them all and never selling them. I wish I can, but in reality it's impossible for me. So far I sold around 70% BTC I had, some of them at pretty low price.

We won't be able to see higher price of bitcoins if we simply keep on holding them without spending them, certainly its an investment for us but we should keep on spending a small portion of it on regular basis for the circulation as it will directly contribute to the better economy.

That is right. There are many altcoins who does not have any pratical usage and the price is very low.
35  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: October 13, 2016, 05:44:17 PM

Agree on this! timing is all that matter and besides why what is the porpuse if we buy something and never sell it?.
bitcoin is not that collection type of things. .it is a money it is built to to either sell it or use it to buy something.

That's right and if we never sell them then will never be making profits from it as our main intention behind an investment is to make profits so its better to sell them when price goes higher.

There is no need to make profit by selling the bitcoin. You can just use the bitcoin to buy things directly.

Unless i am very wrong here but i think bitfinex is back in business and they are doing well right now.
That's s much worrying as it is surprising, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole. I just hope that they aren't creating fake volume. I guess time will tell - but I certainly wont be putting any of my hard earned BTC their way.

Most Chinese exchanges are creating fake volumes as they have 0% trading fee. The Bitfinex might be an exception.
37  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitfinex HACKED - funds stolen ! on: September 15, 2016, 06:53:30 AM
The BFX tokens are baked by the markets faith in bitfinex's ability to raise sufficient money via equity sales to repay their customers. 

Good luck. Their volume is abysmal now. Liquidity is gone. They repaid the 1% out of funds that they retained for operations, not capital inflow. What kind of outside investor would touch them now with their legal exposure? Socializing losses of bailed assets and securitizing debts--issuing them to US customers? Good luck, Giancarlo, Rafael and company.... you're going to need it where you're going.....

Bitfinex did and is doing a lot of illegal things. They run a financial business without license, they stole funds, they issued securities, they have fake volumes and many others...

Still, no lawsuit.

I heard there is a class action against the Bitfinex at the moment.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4xdj4s/where_do_we_go_to_join_the_bitfinex_class_action/?st=it3zc40s&sh=c0639b5a

I have been in communication with Bitfinex support for the last week and reading everything that is going on. I do not agree with their unilateral decision to handle customer losses as they have. I have given them ample opportunity to settle with me via compromise on commission structure and they have refused. I'm ready to sue.
38  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: September 01, 2016, 08:54:27 AM
Well honestly i do not believe that we should never sell our bitcoins ever,yes we know that bitcoin has great potential and it will only rise in future but still it will be a risk to do nothing with our bitcoins and just hold then and if bitcoin do not be a success in future then all of them would be wasted and then we will think its better that we would have used them at that time.

Yes we don't know what will be the price of bitcoin in future either it can be higher or lower, if it goes higher then its well and good but what if it falls extremely, so its better to sell coins when its allowing to make profits.

whether the price goes up a lot or down a lot, there is always money to be made. my main target is to accumulate as many coins as possible for the long term. that's why i use every significant drop in my advantage to buy at. so yes, in case of profits, and the possibility of buying back your coins at lower prices, sell.

I am also buying more at lower price, especially in the current price, in order to collect more amount for the upcoming profit, but I will not sel them ever, as I have believe that the price increase when people do not sell their coins and buy more and more so with that I hope the price will be in mollions.

Holding them for future is good, but never selling them is the bad decision to make, if you will never sell then how will you make profits out of them? Sell and grab profits and buy it again when price falls.

I agree with that. That is the reason I trade the bitcoin with other coins. It is quite profitable to do that.
39  Economy / Economics / Re: Why You Should Never Sell Your Bitcoins Ever on: August 28, 2016, 10:29:39 AM
I think this way too, cause price is alwways slowly increasing , so better to make your money work on you, and use this money only in bat situations.
I think you mean bad situation.
this is indeed. your savings, no matter they are in bitcoin or any other currency will surely help you in your bad situation and time.
and saving in bitcoin have another benefit it is the additional profit if bitcoins price increase in future, which is highly possible.
I think there is no harm in selling bitcoin whenever you need or you get better price.i believe bitcoin in circulation is more beneficial than bitcoin lying in wallets

That is the reason why I hold 70% of the bitcoin for the long term and use 30% of my bitcoins to buy goods.
40  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitfinex HACKED - funds stolen ! on: August 04, 2016, 05:48:26 PM
Bitfinex should negotiate with hacker. Offer $10 million to return the stolen bitcoins and drop investigation.

I heard the Bitfinex has contact police. So there is a possibility that the thief will be caught and the funds return.
