What isn't funny? Who is trying to be funny?

You see investors running to buy AIR?

I am buying and mining, still. ( http://air.carbonshark.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=pool )

Are you saying these things never crossed your mind? You don't think these things are not crossing others minds? You want the coin to turn around, then these things have to be addressed. Would you rather have waited until you were nose-deep in AIR, before any of this was addressed?

I am calm. What implied that I was not calm? I am not the one hiding, dicking around with your money. Last time I checked, I was buying your debt. I can stop buying AIR.

I can't market this in the present state. Nor can they. Give me something to market.

P.S. Every time I buy, that bot lists above, with an auto-sell, and pulls the market down further. (AIRbot?)

P.P.S. The more miners that leave, the more we make, and he makes, and the more that the other bot/person (or AIRbot) is able to cash-out. Choke him out, throw more miners at AIR. He won't be able to sell for less. (You want the value to rise, that is what you have to do. I can't be more clear about it than that.)

Want to know me... Feel free to PM me, or email me, or chat with me in person on skype, or stalk my website (way outdated), or if you want to see my humor... visit my twitter account that is also outdated, but funny to read (The better stuff is near the middle and bottom). https://twitter.com/ISAWHIM

So, lets do some math here, business-professionals of AIRcoin...


What is the University policy for, "using University resources for personal gains". (That includes teachers, students and facility hardware.) Will the University be claiming this income? I can't seem to find your "registration as an LLC", anywhere.

2,500,000 AIRcoin premine. (Coins mined, prior to public-allowance. Property/earnings of the development team.)

First public market "fair-value" date was March 14th 2014 23:00:00, at an opening price of 0.002 BTC/AIR, which places BTC's value at about $630.00.

Simple: (($630.00 USD/BTC * 0.002 BTC/AIR = $1.26 USD/AIR) * 2,500,000 AIR = $3,150,000 USD) * 20% taxes = $630,000 USD taxes owed

ALT Calc: ((2,500,000 AIR * 0.002 BTC/AIR = 5,000 BTC) * $630.00 USD/BTC = $3,150,000 USD) * 20% taxes = $630,000 USD taxes owed

Taxes due quarterly for businesses, not yearly. Ouch! (Oh wait, that quarter ended on the 31st of March. I am sure the IRS will overlook that in an audit. xD I hear the IRS is real understanding to things like that.)

Now... if that "realized income" ends-up being "realized" at only 1.5 BTC, at today's prices... That would be a "realized value", as a loss, thus, not taxable on those "gains of income". Then your "taxes" would be adjusted as such, a "loss" in "gains and losses". Just throwing some food for thought out there. (Until that is "realized", you will be forced to pay taxes on the "estimates of value", at "fair market value". You would not get money back, if later it turned into a loss. The govt. does not work that way. Since, after all, it is all 100% "mined income". You mined it.)

P.S. Didn't you also admit to making an additional 1.5 BTC from AIR... Guess that was made at a higher price than the opening 0.002 BTC/AIR. The IRS may want to adjust for that "realization of value". I'll have to ask them tonight, when I sit down to dinner with the employee living in my house. Want me to ask her anything specific?

P.P.S. I'll have a nice set of "losses" to use as tax-write-offs this year, if all goes well. But hey, that can change. (I am still sure it will. For us.)

P.P.P.S. Or the coins could be "destroyed", with a "realized value" of $0.00, thus, no income. (So, in your trade formulas, after the 20% taxes, you will have to make at-least 5% additional, to fill the "claims" of "5% constantly rising value", just to make 0% yourselves, unless you cash-out the premine, which has already been claimed in taxes. Oh, I believe the $3-million mark places you in luxury-taxes for income BTW, as a business. Not sure if the 20% us common people pay for gains and losses applies to those in "luxury tax-brackets". Might be closer to 35% for you guys, as individuals in the company. This will be interesting.)

As an "Investor", I like to know how these things are handled, before investing further. As a large holder of investment, I demand to know the answers to these things. Though, there are others with greater holdings than I. Proof required, not just statements, since, after-all, this is a "business", where essentially, by law, you are selling shares and we are "employees contracted to mine the rest of our earnings", which you said you will "control".

P.P.P.P.S. My bid is still up, to buy all of existing AIR. ("Investors" not recommended to sell at my bid-offer, only AIRteam.)

P.P.P.P.P.S. At least AIR is semi-legitimate, though, seeming to be wrapped in red-tape. I got the scissors. Turn this into a media-frenzy. Double-bonus, after the tape is cut.

P.P.P.P.P.P.S. Welcome to the world of Crypto-coins. This is not just YOUR money you are playing with. This isn't a game.

POS is a failure because it uses your CPU to mine the POS blocks. The POS blocks consume a block that should-have been a POW block. You can't control what funds "go into" a POS block, so one person would be getting POS returns on 3.72 or dust of 0.00000121 while another may have POS on 274,827 coins in a block-move. That is hardly fair, or beneficial to the network. It also MOVES coins, creating tons of uncontrollable DUST that later kill the network as all the POS from the 3.72 blocks would be moved around.

POS is a (Piece Of Shit) gimmick, and does nothing except create more coins, as a large waste to the network. Go look at a POS coin. When miners keep seeing more "Rejected" legitimate blocks, due to POS beating a POW block... they all leave. (Bottlecaps, Hobonickles)...

You forget to think about this small fact too... The more miners holding, the more POS causes a flood of trouble... The more coins you keep in an exchange, the more coins the exchange gets, cashing-out on your value, using your value. (Not to mention the liquidity issue if the exchange has those blocks locked-up in STAKE, but they have not been released for POS yet... could be a year, or a month or a week, or a day. In some cases, it could be never, as the last POS coin found-out.)

Why add such complexity and centralization stuff to a coin that should be self-sustaining, decentralized and not co-dependent. The point of these coins was to get away from banks, and "economic controls", which only favor the controllers and the bankers.

Are we reverting to communism now? lol. (You earn what I say you can earn today!)

Nice way to hide the premine... lol...

#1: 1,000,000 reward
#2: 1,000,000 reward

#147: 1,000,000 -> moved
#174: 999,700 -> moved (300 cashed-out)
#270: 999,500 -> moved (200 more cashed-out)
#289: 999,300 -> moved (200 more cashed-out)
...
...
...
...

I assume "not cashed-out", just making it look like they are spent.

Another lotto-coin with values they obviously control, so the miners they have, get full rewards, while everyone-else gets next to nothing...

#94765: 0.00140331 (Yup, looks fair, everyone-else got 28,504 X more than these guys. @ 40 coins. More for the big coin rewards. So much for any form of price stability. You either win, or lose, with more guaranteed losers. lol.)

That price was about right, for the difficulty at the time.

The only way for price to get back to that level, would require more miners, back to that level, and above.

But miners left when people started cashing-out. Making diff fall, which made people earn more again. They cashed-out, along with everyone who mined earlier. Those who mined earlier earned hundreds in a day, like we are earning now. To them, $1.00 per coin was like earning $100-$200 a day. (Add the air-bot into the mix, which was spending coins that cost $0.00 to produce, and that was the double-edge sword in the bulls heart.)

The announcement didn't help. Due to the whole anonymous thing, and well, lack of anything to back any of the statements.

The biggest killers at the moment, are still the unnecessary ridiculous premine, and the statement of "we are going to cut the reward in half, and decrease it 1%"... Great, that drives away all the miners, and makes the issue of the "premine and early mine", even worse, and impossible to combat!

That was the opposite direction. The only way to battle early miners, is expanding reward, to compensate for the growth of the miners. So it is still harder to cash-out, but the value can not be raped by everyone early, and then again, by those when the diff falls. THAT is what reduces the damage, while still keeping a choke on earnings, to keep the price rising. (Also makes hopping less valuable to the hoppers and more beneficial to the network.)

A decimal shift would lower the premine dramatically, to semi-acceptable levels, only if the max-cap is also adjusted to produce more, which would be the same, due to the decimal shift. As a miner or a holder, we would actually see no change in value, other than it potentially going up, after those changes. (The number of coins is actually irrelevant, it is the number of blocks that is relevant to any coin, and the time to find those blocks. A coin could have 0.000001 reward or 1000000 reward, if it takes a day to find one block, both have the same value. One just has more decimals.)

Them, strangers who hide in shadows, with no proof of credentials and no actions that indicate they are actually capable... manipulating price, perhaps to give the false sens of success... That does not appeal to anyone. The earnings of future gains is NOT what determines the "coins in hand" values. That just kills the network, the network you need to KEEP GROWING, in order to have constant gains. (That is why BTC grows year after year, the network keeps growing. LTC has a fluctuating network, and thus, fluctuating reward that doesn't follow the logarithmic pattern upward trend. All these coins are exponential growth, so you HAVE to use an exponential logarithmic chart to look at value, not a linear chart.)

I am just waiting for the "V for Vendetta" masks to break-out. I have a bunch of those in bulk, by the way. I can build a team too. {NullSec}

Funny thing is... The IRS is going to LOVE that AIRteam has 2.5 million AIR coins, what is that asset value at fair market prices, on release day to the exchange? Cost them nothing to make them, so they are 100% gains, as asset-value property. That will be an interesting quarterly IRS tax-return to see. (Might be why they are hiding. Though, the LLC information, if it is real, is all the IRS needs for taxes. Being a "mint" {setting value of the coin}, also, I am sure they are FinCEN and US-Treasury registered as a MINT and an exchange and manipulate reward/earnings/mint-value. Since they are a business {LLC}, they HAVE to register. Unlike an individual personal miner, where minted coins are for personal use, not business.)

P.S. The IRS essentially lives in my house.

The funny thing is this...

1: You need 0 AIR initially, to regulate the market. You need BTC. (They invested 0 BTC, that is obvious. We own this coin, they own nothing.)
2: You will never get enough BTC using sold AIR, to counter any future sales of AIR at lower prices, as that would include buying back the AIR you sold for BTC, plus the newly generated AIR.
3: If you are buying old cheap AIR to compensate a rise for future, exponentially more expensive AIR, you will not have enough to create a rise.
4: If you are buying AIR cheap, to increase value, your supply will grow beyond the premine, with every new purchase, until you just own all the AIR. (Thus the premine was not needed at all.)
5: Without BTC added to the market, there is nothing to cash-out to. There are only 3-4 pumps a month, which are short, low-volume, and if failed, have even less volume. If price is constantly rising, and it is retarded, that stops future investing. If there is no volatility, no-one wants to invest, even if the price does appear to rise steady. If the price rises steady, that encourages "cashing-out" steady. (Go back to #2)

The point they "depended on", was this, I believe... They wanted to use OTHER "rising exchanges", to trade for value, to add to AIR. (There are only two or three rising exchanges, and once they start to "cash-in" on those, they stop rising.) Unfortunately, to make AIR rise, by that method, they have to BUY AIR. Thus, they will end-up with TONS more AIR, in addition to the premine. AIR which still then has to be sold high. AIR which, there will never be enough high listings to sell all of the AIR they collect, along the way.

There is only one solution, which I have provided, to fix this whole mess. (Though I provided three solutions.)

They could still do whatever they wanted, though they will never achieve what they desire to achieve for anyone but a few people. Simply because the only way to make us all money, they would have to keep buying 100% of all generated AIR, buying more than they are selling, buying more than they hold. (Maths fail.)

They have provided no solutions to any proposed "issues" that they complained about, related to "the issues with these coins are...", yet, have actually amplified the flaws along the way. (Logic says, do the opposite, if what you are doing is not working. Try it, it works!)

So... I sit here waiting for the market to do a decent gain, and them to "take credit for it", then produce another white-paper, when it goes the opposite direction.

Marketing is needed. Not marketing, "promises of gains that can never actually be kept or backed-up". (You can't back-up anonymous gains. You might as well say you are thieves laundering money in a HYIP scam. Which, at this point, this is looking like the worlds worst planned HYIP scam ever.)

We have nothing but speculation to do. Speculating doesn't make money.

The existing support-level now, is a direct reflection of the belief of actions. (They seem to be waiting until it gets down to a $0.01/AIR, so they can afford to use that $1/AIR they took, to add $0.0005/AIR to make a penny gain 5% steady. I hope the bots are using logarithmic scales, because linear values here are not pertinent when it comes to percents and value on BTC. That is why BTC follows the path of $0.01 to $0.10 to $1.00 to $10, to $100, to $1,000, and will go to $10,000 then $100,000 etc... each major linear time-frame hike. {Though it falls short of those targets each time, thus, is actually declining in value each hike.})

Might want to wait until after they announce, whatever it is they are going to announce... lol.

At-least wait a few hours for the diff-level to drop to match the hash-rate. The diff is still high for the hash-rate. Should get you about 150 AIR in 24 hours soon, with that hashing-power.

That would be about $150.00 USD, if we can get this back up near the settled high. ($1.00 per AIR... Remember those days... You know, a few weeks ago. )

That places the value at $0.0476523 per AIR now... not much of a change, BTC went up a little since last time.

The diff is only 2.43 (160K), so you should see a nice volume of coins, more now that the hash-rate of the network just dropped down to 70MHs.

This is either going to be the biggest re-release, or, the biggest re-release. lol. One way or another, it will be re-birthed.

Thus the best reason to be mining the hell out of it... Someone is making enough to cash-out, even at a loss.

If you can't afford to mine it, I do suggest that you stop mining. The premine can't be cashed-out if there is nothing listed to cash-out to. (It is getting to that point.)

Those of us who still hold, know for a fact that there is only a few of us can sell any lower. Essentially, this coin is on pause until the devs return with something. My BTC supply is growing thin. Evaporating into AIR. (I live in Florida, I can stand the humidity.)

This is a fast-paced world, 2-weeks is like... 2-years!

For anyone who thinks they may not be able to resist... Give me all your coins until then...
I'll keep you from spending them.

I hope they are using the bots on the other coins, they would be making a killing on them. So many pumps... (I keep pulling my buy-orders on AIR, to make a few quick trades on the other coins.)

Side note: AIR is down to $0.049062 per AIR.

This is obviously an april-fools joke... (There is only 20 pages of clutter in that post. )

DIEM would then have to trade against DIME to be worth anything. lol.

Seriously, the best thing DIEM could do, is move the decimal place over, four spots to the left, to make it seem partially normal in value. The above post would be like moving the decimal 8 spaces to the right, which would be the "Zimbabwe method". lol.

Even better to just keep the reward the same, but change the block-time to 60 seconds, like a sub-normal coin.

Partially luck... Partially (did you stay long enough to have full PPLNS), (Was the pool PPLNS setup right? For correct reward?)

Also note... You do not submit "shares" to your wallet, when solo-mining, you only submit "finds". Thus, that makes it a little faster, as you are not stopping to "submit a share", every few seconds to a distant server.

Also, try setting workload to 64 not 256, you finish work faster, and thus, check it faster and submit it faster, before a "new block" resets your workload. Also, you are finishing faster, so you get reset faster, to start on new work. Longer workloads have to finish before being submitted or reset.

I have found that most polls are not setup right. Seems the "default settings" are not actually the settings that are set. (Just had that issue fixed on air.carbonshark.com where it is operating a lot better now.)

The pools that are not setup right, have blocks where only a few miners even get credit for the work. (Usually on super-fast blocks. You will see only like 4 users got credit, the finder actually gets less credit, since his SHARE was the found block. Thus, cutting that reward out from the rest of the miners who could not submit shares into that block fast enough. Essentially making other miners only get about 50%-75% of the estimated reward, while that "winner" who had the most shares in that short-block, got essentially 300% more than they should have. Which, by the way, will never average-out per user.)

The issue is in the PPLNS settings, it says one thing is default "on", but actually is not default "on", it is "off" by default. (Not 100% sure what the setting was, as I do not operate the pool where the issue was resolved. I just pointed it out, and he resolved it.)

You will have a lucky day, and three unlucky days, then a lucky day, then three unlucky days... It goes in waves like that. (Like hitting three blocks in a row in a pool, by the same users over and over. It is not actually truly random for finding blocks, just nearly impossible to predict the pseudo-random "winner" in advance, for a block.)

In steady difficulty, you will have the same average as a pool, solo-mining. However, as difficulty constantly changes, you are battling luck v.s. reward, which will never average-out, in the long-run. Diff will rise again, as it is still rising slowly day by day. (Which is better for the coin, as a whole.)

Upgrade to a touch-screen... http://www.sainsmart.com/sainsmart-3-2-tft-lcd-display-touch-panel-pcb-adapter-sd-slot-for-arduino-2560.html?___store=en&___store=en&gclid=CNDHk_3Kvr0CFSho7AodaksAEg

Better than the 2-bar LCD display... AMT logo friendly. No custom logo emblem needed ... saves more money. (Ok, not really, but it is cooler! lol.)

For all you solo-miners, still looking to get-in early on a decent volume of coins, the boat has not sailed...

Though, pools are still the better choice at the moment.

We could still use some decent spare miners and hashing-power on the AIR.CarbonShark.com pool. The more steady miners we have, the more value will climb. (Real value, not dump-value.)

The faster we get the dumpers gone, the better. Most dumpers/hoppers have left, there is not much dump-value left to consume. (I am prepared to eat most of that still.)

P.S. That is not "my pool"... I just mine there.

Yes, Just reply back to my e-mail, and I can be there before the PSU's arrive. (If that is the case, then you can completely push my miner to the end of the line. Since I will not need it, while working there. I will not need it until the end of my stay. I told you, you can use those funds to foot any costs, which can be paid-back upon my exit. So no loss to you, nor I.)

This must be Alecia, not Josh typing then... lol. (Sorry if I did not get the name right.)

Just to be clear, that is not a DIY I find acceptable for my order, so do not ship that DIY miner to me.

I will wait for the MPP 1.5THs (6x boards) or greater, which was promised about a month ago.
(That, or wait for "the next unit size up", which would be the 2.4THs miner, which has the new non-daisy-chained boards.)

Well, there is a lot of listings to sell AIR for around $0.1125 per AIR... Never been a better time to buy it!

You know the potential is at-least half that, $0.50 per AIR. Even at the present state.

Well, 10x boards would be about 1800w-2200w at the wall, which is why KNC's big miners will not run on home-wires only rated for 1400w constant-load at 120v.

If I only had one miner, with 6x boards, that would put it at 1000w-1200w range.

Houses are not wired for farms... Not like you can just plug a miner into every available outlet in your house. That would be like trying to run electric heaters on every outlet. Put two 1200w heaters (2400w) on one standard outlet, and you pop a breaker or burn your home wires. (2400w/120v=20A)

AMT, please tell me which address to contact, (and what to put as the subject), to discuss the DIY-kit option.

I do want that, but you didn't reply here, you didn't reply to my PM in the forum, and I am not sure which email to reply to.

If you can, please at-least state which components are holding you back.

I don't need the case, the cages, or even the 6-board backplane. (As I would rather have the two-miner core setup, with the compensation for missing parts, as more boards. Thus, 8x mining boards setup as 4x and 4x with 2 backplanes, 2 raspberrypi's, 2 lcd, and the connected wires.)

They said PSU's were an issue, but I did not hear you say that. I am sure the PSU's you have on hand, could easily run the 4x boards fine, which is why I requested that setup, as 2 of the 4x boards. That also allows me to split the load better on my home wiring.

Thank-you, JD

P.S. That is the 6x boards you offered us for the late orders, almost a month ago, + 1 for the still late delivery, +1 for the "removed components". This would be +2 more additional boards for compensation, to make it 10x boards, if the PSU's were not available to be delivered. (This would still fit in the two 5x backplane setup, as this would bring the total boards to 10x and no PSU's, which I would have to additionally buy now.)

P.P.S. You don't even have to attach the heat-sinks, which should make it easy to ship. However, I will need the screws to mount the heat-sinks, and the heat-sinks should at-least be drilled, but they don't have to be. I have my own thermal-paste. Plus, I plan to modify them anyways. I can figure-out how to get it all wired-up without instructions. (Bonus if you can get all 8x-10x boards to run on just 1 raspberrypi with only 1 lcd. That will save you even more loss.)

P.P.P.S. I would have worked for minimum wage, at the least, living at the assembly-plant, working like a China-kid 24/7 if needed, to help. Still not sure why you never responded to my overly generous offer there. All I needed was a cot to rest on. (I don't sleep much. I sleep when my body stops responding to my brain. I am an insomniac with ADD, and an engineering electrician programming artist. A walking think-tank. lol.)

Has not reached that point... (They would have to REALLY drive this into the ground. Where I was like 50% of the hashing-power myself. )

They said they were working on something... Waiting to see what that is, and how that plays-out.

I still have faith. (Thus, my active participation.)

Oh, ignore my missing coins... I still have them there, just pulled them again to do a quick short-sale. They will be back. (In a larger quantity.)
