I thought this topic will tell us about new method or something about Get money by posting WITHOUT signature campaigns. but it's only an information at all, and i don't think people will tip you for post constructive.

My tips are find something that you enjoy this is one the biggest key's.  Before money you must enjoy it, if you don't enjoy it then it's not worth doing.

Find either a service you can sell or something you can make BTC off of.  Services can take a lot of time to learn skills such as programming, web design, and tons of other things but long term you can make a lot off of it if you are good.  Mine is mining I love mining and enjoy it.  So I mine to gain more BTC.

I feel signature campaigns should be a bonus, not sole source of income.

blockchain.info is a very popular online wallet is also very easy to make.

blockchain.info is my favorit wallet, easy to use and safe Smiley

It might be, but the hack attempt was so powerful that many lost their coins from their wallets.
So, multibit or electrum are good ones as both are desktop wallets.

Use a strong second factor I cannot stress this enough.  I really like Yubikey as it as it's a great physical token to log in.   If you are just using one password and not 2fa your chances of being hacked are much greater.

With good 2fa even if bad guy has password it should not give then access to your account.

So... A yubikey is a physical second factor? This is actually quite a cool idea. How did you push out your product so widely? I haven't heard of it at all, but it's widely supported.

Correct.

It is made and promoted by a large Swedish company called Yubico. I do not think notlist3d is involved. Smiley

Correct I am just a fan of it.  I have been looking at hardware wallets and other way's to secure digital assets.  This was a product I liked.

I don't own part of company, stock, or involved in any way.   So I make zero off of sales.   I just really liked their quality products so tested it then shared it after I liked it so much.

They have done a great job of making  good  products.   They have had multiple generations even, so this got them noticed and put on some great sites as physical second factor.

I love the Yubikey nano for a laptop.  I cant stress how nice it is on 2 factor.  I can leave it in the usb slot and it barley sticks out, so it's not noticeable hardly at all.  But on the sites using it and Lastpass it takes me to press the Yubikey for it to send a key to log in, and it's a unique code it sends each time.

I feel more secure with it then SMS even. With SMS if you were really unlucky it could be forwarded if a good social engineer to another phone, or a phone could be compromised.  Both of these are not worries with Yubikey.

And it is great Blockchain uses it.   Gives you some more security on the most popular hot wallet out there.

So, one can start mining at www.cloudmining.website now only with 0.016 BTC and get an ROI within 3 to 4 months ?

cloudmining.website is generally believed to be a scam.


One thing I forgot to say above is 3-4 month ROI does not happen anymore in most cases.  It was old ROI time during like GPU day's you could count on 90 day ROI pretty much all the time.

But in today's world of BTC mining I don't think you will get 3-4 months unless you sell the miner and count it twords ROI.  Or in cloud if it's one that allows you to sell. And there is no guarantees.

thts is great idea for you my friend to get more bit coin throug clod minning there are many sites on the internet you can invest your btv for minning . but some of them.are untrusted also and also scamming .
you should buy minning power at hashocean site .
this site is a grwta opportunity for the newbie to earn free btc.
this sit tak minimum investmet for the minimum power to buy is 0.016btc.
so you can start easily earning of free btc.
at this site you will get you return if your investment within 3 to 4 month.
so lets go for earn free btc through mining .
So, one can start mining at www.cloudmining.website now only with 0.016 BTC and get an ROI within 3 to 4 months ?

Look at all the options out there. That is one of the last ones I would pick.  I'm not sure if you are a real new person with question or a shill.   This site is known for 1 big shill who promoted the heck out of a blog article.

I push you to look for more then 1 blog article from a nobody as proof before spending in cloud mining.

2228  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to join signature ad campaigns .. on: February 10, 2016, 09:44:02 AM

Totally agree with you, for newbie and new account better you make your post constructive until you get full member rank. because when your rank full member, you can easily accepted on any signature campaign.

It's not needed to be a full member for doing constructive posts, and there are many campaigns that doesn't ask you to be a full member for being accepted, and secondly, a user with a newbie account doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything but it means that he is new to this forum, so stop calling newbies like that, there are some users who had knowledge before and then joined this forum so they become newbie here but they aren't newbie to bitcoin industry.

And there are so-called newbies that have many accounts on this forum already. Hahahahaha

Yes but many of the Yo-Bit and other newbie campaigns are full of spam posts. You did a great post above, no doubt about it.  But most newbie accounts are utter crap that join a sig campaign right off. Their goal is number of posts not content.  It is a fact that can be proved.  Look in meta at yo-bit spammer thread.

Are some good, sure they are.  But they are getting paid dust till full member status and most should use it to a time to learn and make good posts with content.  I stick with wait till full-member for almost all.  Sure there are a few exceptions but look at payment your doing it for dust.

This might be a side note but your goal on this site should be to enjoy the site, and find things you love like for me mining.  Your goal should not to be making money with sig campaigns.

I personaly use blockchain wallet:-)

i have experience, my email address get hacked, i lose my bittrex account, blockchain, and vip.bitcoin.co.id
im using 2fa (authy) installed on my chrome browser...

if you have smartphone, i recomended you to use bitcoin app or mycellium,, or you can instal electrum wallet on your computer

Or to have a personal hardware bitcoin client. Cheesy

I have been pushing Yubikey for people to use for 2nd factor with blockchain.   Everyone that uses blockchain needs to be using 2fa no reason for not doing it.

But look into Yubikey it's a amazing physical token to stop hackers with just password from getting into your blockchain wallet.  Also as always treat it as a hot wallet as it is a hot wallet, and should be daily spend.
2230  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Efficient USB miners on: February 10, 2016, 09:32:54 AM
The best USB miner is the compac.  But USB minerss are mainly for learning or lotto mining, you will not make ROI in most cases.  

This is true but you can make your USB mining RIG run for less money if you I wise.  I use an old Ultraportable HP mini 210 with a 7inch screen.  It has a small PSU of ~30w (laptop PSUs are usually anything from 45w to 65w).  I pulled the hard drive out (so no HDD spinning around anymore which can save 10watts) and put Windows 7 starter on a 15GB USB Thumb drive.  The whole OS is less than 10GB in size.  I use this to run my stick miners and a U3 for lotto mining.  Set it up so to not shut down when you close the lid and run it shut to kill the screen (just open it now and again to see it's good).  The 30w PSU never even gets warm. 

I have an old pentium 4 style ATX where the 12v runs the U3 and the 5v runs me a HUB with a couple of Bifury twin chips in it.   
I get ~70gh for around less than 70watts at he wall all in (inc. mini laptop with lid shut).

Some people use linux on a USB as their OS for the same reason.  I couldn't get my head round linux even though i made me a USB drive with it on as there is a good readme file in cgminer-9.4.2-windows all about how to do it if you fancy a go.  Its called "linux-usb-cgminer.txt" worth a read.

It would be interesting to know how others have got on with it all.

That is true I run mine with a RPI and use very little electricity.  So I'm running about as least cost I possibly can. 

Even if I overclock my compacs I will not ROI by mining them.    There is no reason to debate this.  I do admit I ROI'ed on some by selling, which was nice as I got to play with more then sell some.   I did keep some as I really like them, but only chance of ROI is if you sell for higher then you bought.

This is just true to any usb miner, they cost a lot to produce compared to hash power.
2231  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Diff thread Feb 7 to Feb 19? picks closed setting up. on: February 10, 2016, 09:28:18 AM
Great.

Ending the day again with 175 blocks being found.

Yes it would have been more except that the last block was 53 Minutes, it's almost as if someone is fiddling it....

Anyway we are carrying on up The Run rate so far this period is now up to 18.8% and there seems to be another step up in the Daily rate which will push things higher. Not sure that all the workers are drinking enough?  Smiley


Rich

Yeah someone is adding more hashrate.

I wonder if it's more then "someone"  I think possibly it could be multiple companies.  For it to be so much hashing power and over multiple changes, very likely it could be multiple.

Only time will tell.  But it's interesting to watch and almost a little hard to watch even.
2232  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Who owns/Where is the biggest BTC mine on: February 10, 2016, 09:24:44 AM
BW.com has been adding quite a bit of hash lately (they appear to have the B-Eleven finally in production for internal use but no external sales yet), probably a combination of them and continuing S7 / Avalon 6 sales and possibly some early Bitfury newgen folks.

They did sell a LOT of hash to when they did the listing of it.  Could be interesting to see all the new machines they do to fill this order, and if they wait till after before going for outside customers.

Perhaps the best things about them is maybe we can get BW and Hashnest to compete a little and cause a little competition.  Hashnest having such high number of market is not really a good thing when pricing for sales.
2233  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Impossible to get positive ROI with current hardware, electricity 7 eurocents/kw on: February 10, 2016, 09:21:32 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

And if Bitfury can manage a miner at .06 efficiency that is a game changer.    That kind of efficiency is able to survive having, without issue most likely.   For the near future I am more worried about difficulty then having.

Also before having I would guess Bitmain has something come out.  It's hard to say what it will be or when.   But we should see more next gen chips.   Which is good for miners.  There is so much unknown though.
2234  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Hands On]Yubikey - Help secure your digital assets - Including Blockchain.info on: February 10, 2016, 09:15:17 AM
Can I ask? Is this "Yubikey" a souped up version of Ledger's HW.1? It works with more than just a few bitcoin wallets, has NFC support, and looks less flimsy?

No. Yubikey is a one time password generator. It has nothing to do with bitcoin, other than some online wallets lets you use it to protect your account, like they also lets you use Google Authenticator, or one time passwords delivered by SMS.

And I should be clear I'm  not telling people not to get hardware wallets, I'm a strong supporter of them.    They are a great option to use.

I am doing this thread as I think password security for a lot could be greatly secured with Yubikey and software, or 2nd factor log-ins.  Also blockchain is the number one mentioned hotwallet online, and I think Yubikey is great to use as 2nd factor.  So even if your blockchain password is taken they could not log in without your Yubikey.
2235  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: [Hands On]Yubikey - Help secure your digital assets - Including Blockchain.info on: February 10, 2016, 09:12:19 AM
..snip...
I think Lastpass is pretty good.  There was one exploit for Lastpass they named Lostpass you just need to make sure your signing into your Lastpass and not a phishing site.  Which you really should always check that when logging into a password manger.  And having two factor with Yubikey does help on most possible security problems tremendously.

Just to make sure you know what I was talking about Smiley I don't think LastPass is a bad choice, but it's always good to know:

https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2015/06/16/bad-news-lastpass-breached-good-news-you-should-be-ok/
https://paul.reviews/privacy-password-managers-a-reality-check/
https://forums.lastpass.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=187485

I'm not debating your knowlege, it is true what your saying.   Also people should realize I picked Lastpass as I liked it.  There are many different password managers you can pick your favorite.

And even if say your master password is stolen the great thing with Yubikey attached, is without it they can't even access your stored info.  So that second factor authentication is important.
2236  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Best online Bitcoin wallet ? on: February 10, 2016, 03:45:27 AM
blockchain.info is a very popular online wallet is also very easy to make.

blockchain.info is my favorit wallet, easy to use and safe Smiley

don't rely much to it, you better move your coins to a harddrive wallet, you should install one specially if you have had more than $200 worth of coins in your blockchain. its still better to have it on your harddrive that you can keep incase blockchain shuts down all of a sudden.

You can make a paper wallet with blockchain info in advanced I believe.  So if you store there yes treat it as hot wallet and yes have private key's in  a safty deposit box to be smart.

And also if using it use 2 factor.  It will help some on securing it as hot storage I recently have became a huge fan of Yubikey being used to add dual factor to blockchain.
2237  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Bitfury: "16nm... sales to public start shortly" on: February 10, 2016, 03:38:49 AM
Another good hope is a group gets together, works out a large chip order and gets a board designed around 'em that can be manufactured as soon as chips arrive.

I would fully support your efforts in funding such a venture if you were to build a bitfury miner sidehack  Grin

That would be a heck of a deal if you could get one going.  Would love to have a full size GekkoScience miner from sidehack powered by these new chips.

Would be great if funding got behind him, and gave possibility for regular people to buy miners.
2238  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Who owns/Where is the biggest BTC mine on: February 10, 2016, 03:35:56 AM

It is a good list I just wish I knew who is pushing up difficulty 20 each period lately on difficulty.  I wonder if it is Bitfury, they would make the most sense with new chips. 

But I could see some other's doing a lot trying to get last ROI out of some current gen chips before they have to have new generations.  Like Avalon 6, and S7.
2239  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: [January 2016] Bitcoin Mining Datacenters by the Megawatt on: February 10, 2016, 03:33:53 AM
One I did not see on list is BlockC.  They report having 10 MW datacenter - http://www.blockc.co/ .  They are the distributor of Avalon gear outside of China.  So it is likely they have a sizable amount.

Might add them to list, I did not find them.  But I could have missed it.
2240  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Best online Bitcoin wallet ? on: February 10, 2016, 02:05:53 AM
Coins.ph is my favorite wallet, because of their instant withdrawal to ATM 24/7 and 24/7 instant funding on convenience store

Coins.ph is an exchange actually and it's not a good idea to use it as a bitcoin wallet because we don't have control on our bitcoin address' private keys. I also use it though because of the same reason with you, the instant withdrawal 24/7 with eGiveCash method, but I don't store all of my coins there.

Storing coins on a exchange is BAD idea in most cases.  Look at Cryptsy as most recent it was thought secure.... then it's like ohhh we were hacked and lots tons of money.

Only one that is a little different is Coinbase as they have a insurance policy if entire site is hacked, if it was your fault and your account is stolen you don't get it.   But they possibly would have a insurance where hack is covered if site was hit.  But for it you give up having a private key, you cannot access Coinbase without going through their site.
