When selling, record serial numbers and if the item is really expensive you can engrave it somewhere unnoticeable so if it gets swapped when it comes back you'll know.

People buy the contracts for short term mining alt coins in the hopes they get higher pay rates than if they mined BTC.  CEX only mines the main SHA-256 BTC with the ancillary coins.

Are you based in the US?  If so what is your SEC License #?  What state are you incorporated in and your incorporation #?

Any decent US based company soliciting business for investment should be able to provide to openly disclose this information, otherwise I would just say scam and walk away.

The only way to make money at CEX.IO is buying low and selling it at a higher price (assuming it goes higher).

How can i provide that? Does something real could influence the trend?

Not sure what you're asking.  When you buy 10GH/s for 0.34BTC and then sell it for 0.38BTC you make 10x0.04BTC = 0.4BTC (plus any mining revenue).

The reason everybody isn't doing this is because the price should be continually heading down.  The only reason for it to go up is uninformed new buyers... so basically you make profit at the expense of, for a lack of a better term, stupid noobs.
2006  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: cex.io VS bit-mining.io on: February 02, 2014, 02:19:35 PM
You will be losing money on either proposition.  There's no point worrying about numbers.

The only way to make money at CEX.IO is buying low and selling it at a higher price (assuming it goes higher).

If you enjoy playing on the websites nobody should do anything to discourage that, but understand that you will be pissing away your 1BTC.

Best choice would be to buy 1 BTC and hold it.  If you want to flip stuff, practice flipping on an exchange.

New users be careful.  My one post attracted the attention of a probable scammer named chenjsi who wanted me to send me BTC first for some UTC.  He sent me an unsolicited PM.  Yeah right, send my BTC to some 3 week noob with no history.... where's Tomatocage  Angry
2008  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [SCRYPT JANE] UltraCoin (UTC) - Newly Launched on: February 02, 2014, 12:53:12 AM
I tried my hand at a couple of the pools like Greekpool and Nitro but no results after 2 hours with 25MH/s is pretty sad.  I'll call it dead for now.
2009  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Why do people buy these? on: February 01, 2014, 07:32:21 AM
There is no point in buying those from money making aspect, but they can be fun to play with and teach you how to do basic mining.  Just like people buying beat up old cars which may not be worth the time and energy to fix up but they do it as a hobby.

I used two antminer getting ave 390mh/s..getting 0.1 to 0.09 BTC per day..

When?

My 23Ghs was getting .005 and is now down to about .0033 BTC.  So are you talking about recently or several Difficulty changes ago?

Pretty sure he meant GHs not MHs.

oops yup Ghs...confused with my litecoin rig..

I thought I could get around 0.17btc per day with 750gh/s based on profit calculation..but no where near 0.17..I will wait few more days and see how it goes..

All you have to do is click on PPLNS and see the graph at the bottom of all the shifts as well as the 1 day, 3 day, 1 week.... percentages.  We've had very bad luck at finding blocks the last couple of days.  If you just joined, yes it sucks but it's not just you.  The whole guild (except for those few on PPS) is under the same dark spell, and since we're 25% of the network we have a considerable influence on the next difficulty level.  Just hang tight and eventually the average will approach close to normal.

maybe I missed something.... What the hell happened last night that made the price shoot down in one day

I personally rode my sleigh around the world and slapped some god-damned sense into these morons.

Lol, sorry but that just made me shoot milk out my nose  Grin

Hey if they want to share their wealth with others let them.  There's been enough math and warnings, if people can't read...

The 7xxx series video cards can't mine on WinXP formally since AMD doesn't provide OpenCL support for XP (6xxx series can).  You need to go for free Linux or use a Win7/8 build.

The CPU is irrelevant - CPUs coins no longer generate the profit they did in November.

The only thing worth mining on is the 7770 - use BAMT or get Win7/8.
2013  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: WTF? Enermax 1500W atx 2.4 platinum! atx 2.4 and platinum vs 2.3 bronze psu? on: January 28, 2014, 02:11:04 AM
There multiple threads about PSU's - and many agree its wiser to buy two 750W psu instead of one 1500W, but as of your question in regards efficiency:
AFAIK maximum efficiency of top line PSU's is about 83% or so…  out of 1500W comes to about 1,2KW actual power, which basically will create a 100% load on components inside PSU along with generated heat. Same goes to any other supply. Count that if your system will consume about 750W you will need a PSU with 900W to have nominal efficiency. Now thats in regards top line PSU's; cheaper ones are walking around 50-75% efficiency…
P.S.  efficiency is shown in % under PSU specs

I don't quite understand everything that you stated, but what I did understand is flat out wrong.  I will not get into the technicals as it has been posted by many in the subforums many times (there are even a couple of PSU engineers on these boards).
2014  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Corsair CX430 power supply ? on: January 25, 2014, 08:00:16 AM
280x's get to 300w in a hurry.  

CX430 = $40.
280x = $400.

Not worth the risk if you blow something up.

As crazy noted what the hell are you clocking.  I have a 280x undervolted to 1.049v getting 715KH/s on a I3-2100 and the whole system is only pulling 262w - and this is with an ambient of 85f.
2015  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Hashrate arbitrage on: January 25, 2014, 07:53:20 AM
Most BTC and LTC pools are so finely tuned currently they have little room for improvement.  Other alts, DOGE for example, despite having some pool ops working their butts off, still have pretty bad reject rates, downtime, DDoS, etc.

A 212% profit on DOGE may only end up be 130% profit if the pool is skimming shares, rejecting 8%, sending to exchanges slowly, going offline without notice, etc.
2016  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 2X280X on a 720w psu possible? on: January 25, 2014, 07:49:13 AM
If the AX is pulling 500 at the wall, internally it's about 460W (before conversion losses).  Buy a Kill-a-watt to measure at the wall pulls.
2017  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Power consumption of 11196-19-20G on: January 25, 2014, 07:43:24 AM
The card itself should pull much less than 250w if undervolted.  I have a i3-2100 system doing 262w on a Seasonic 750 Gold with 1 card mining at 715KH/s, if I took out the extra HD, RAM, and clocked down the CPU the total system would probably go below 240w, making the card less than 200w.
2018  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Any trust worthy dogecoin pool? on: January 23, 2014, 06:50:11 AM
I can confirm that Multipool.us is definitely skimming a good 30% to 50% off.  I have about 15MH/s there even using the highest peak difficulty I should have mined over 120K coins in 24 hours but only got paid for 71K worth.   That would be acceptable if it was a small pool and had high variance but the pool has over 15GH/s.

No point to mining a 200% profit (compared to LTC) coin if the pool steal 50% of your work - you're basically making somebody else rich.

2020  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Take the covers off your non reference card GPUs! on: January 23, 2014, 06:43:51 AM
There are certain components on the card that rely on the airflow generated from the pathing through the shroud - remove the shroud and those components will overheat.  Some really nice cards have everything heatsinked well but cheaper ones won't even have pads on the VRMs, for example, and will overheat without the correct air pathing.

Keep the shrouds on unless you have external airflow.
