anyone can ask me how to reset my password?
If you have your password just logon to the website. If you lost your password email them from your registered email. If you lost your pw and didn't provide your email then email them and explain the situation. Which one is it? |

dga: Perhaps Wolf's figure of 1201 hps/c3.8xl was an outlier, then, if 1000 is typical. But your spot instance rate seems a bit high, since the amazon site persistently reports in the .256 to .288 range. Any light on that?
nakaone: I completely agree.
I like to track the distribution of mining costs in order to model how each typical demographic will behave. If you had the relative numbers of miners in each major bucket, and could estimate their sales timing, it would give you a substantial market timing edge. We're getting pretty close to that point here, but not quite. I could try to parameterize a model from the price data, but the signal is low enough and the dimension of the parameter space high enough so that current history length would be inadequate to provide statistically robust parameters. The more dimension can be reduced, the sooner a valid parameter set can be derived.
The EC2 prices are back down - I think the EC2 miners are getting edged out by the botnets and GPUs at this point. (Reference: There was a self-claimed botherder in #monero with about 500kh/s. Not verified, but his numbers were sound.) This is the Amazon spot price history for the last month for c3.8xlarge. It's pretty clear when XMR mining was very profitable:  (The three colors are three different zones. If only one spikes, it probably doesn't mean the overall price is high, but when all of them go high, it means that there's huge demand on EC2) And then you can see that about a week ago, the spot prices returned back to near the "floor" (Amazon sets a minimum price for each instance type, even if there's no demand). That correlated roughly with a large increase in diff and drop in price of XMR. Wolf's miner is no longer the one to use as a comparison, btw -- yam is faster. I havent benchmarked it on EC2, though, because the margin is too small (or negative) for my tastes. 1050 is probably a reasonable ballpark. I know nothing about EC2 but just an observation, the spike on this graph is almost 2 days prior to the biggest spike in XMR's price. The network hashrate also went up at the time of the price spike not the the spike on your graph. |

there was probably a better way to make your buys, in order to minimize your costs. i wouldn't know. but i lulz anyway because dude's sarcasm made me laugh.
It wasn't intended as sarcasm. I just hadn't seen something like that before. I was watching the buy and sell orders contemplating what I was going to do as the price had just come down after being pumped a bit. Then I saw that order placed and it disappeared almost as soon as it was placed. That's how fast the orders get filled. I know that because I once mistakenly put in a bid too high. |

lluboski, IMO all your posts for quite a long time have been spot on.

well guys i can come out of the closet now. i took a fairly significant position in XMR. you may have noticed if you were watching poloniex. those little green candles were me  Was that you with a 6 btc buy @480 when the price was 420? That was amazing. |

why after update block in my portfolio they are saved every time you open the wallet again and must be downloaded block after upgrade blocks I give the command - save_bc but they are not saved?  Close wallet with the command exit I use the refresh command before using the exit command to update the wallet but it's not necessary as it will update when you open it. Close daemon with the command exit The blockchain will be saved |

You would think major news outlets would fact check. Maybe they just assume that people don't know any better?
The NY Post is not a major news outlet. It was 50 years ago. |

I learned something while reading here.
And that is that nobody and i really mean nobody has a fucking clue what they are talking about.
Anybody who uses this thread to know when to buy and sell might as well throw some dice or darts. The results will probably better.
All these "facts" and charts and lines and people acting like they know it all.
It really isn't much better than the Btce troll box here. A bit more civilized maybe but in the end it's nothing but idiots screaming BUY BUY BUY SELL SELL SELL! We all do it in one way or the other.
Also hilarious how everyone is an auction expert suddenly. And a China expert and an expert in anything really.
Some of us, rather than cursing the dark, are trying to light candles, with varying degrees of success. It takes a pretty vigorous crap filter to glean anything useful here, but there is such as thing as exogenous input stimulating useful thought. By voicing opinions, members stimulate each other to think about aspects of the situation which they might otherwise neglect. If the stimulus is misleading, that is unfortunate, but a vigorous crapfilter should avoid most of that downside. The worst part is the time-sink aspect. You may not read this. I know you don't like my monkey. The monkey is a metaphorical monkey, used to voice signals derived by means I do not wish to disclose accurately or justify rigorously. I find the signals useful, and it does not require any sort of faith in the monkey to observe its signals over time. I know that some members have benefited from awareness of the monkey's moods, as have I, otherwise your complaint would have sufficed for me to silence the monkey here. As a third-party reader I would accept the monkey as another source of stimulus for thought, no more and no less. I regard the other members of this forum much as I regard the magic monkey. They are a source of highly structured signal, which serves to stimulate thought. Freedom requires possibilities. Our possibilities are limited by our awareness, oftentimes. Exogenous stimuli often serve to draw attention to those possibilities, and thereby compound our freedom. |

Should Nasdaq officials decide to go forward, they likely will move quickly — exchange officials expect to create a regulated platform for bitcoin buyers and sellers in about a year, one source said.

I knew CN has scaling issues, but this went beyond my expectation. I don't know whether the adaptive block size is at fault or something (I read the thread - but that's the extent of my knowledge regarding the root cause of the issues), but it was not "looking good" to have the chain "stuck".
The chain was never actually stuck, there's just a limit to how many tx may be included in a block at a time. Many users didn't understand this and panicked and kept trying to resubmit their tx to the network, only to find that the tx were already in the mempool waiting to be included in a block. Adaptive block sizing expanded the chain within an hour, and then the tx all went through. It seems there was a misconception with that userbase that because block timing is fast, that their tx should be as fast, however, this is not the case from the code or the original documentation. Yes I understand that "stuck" is a figure of speech to depict "crawling speeds", but people were complaining about txs that took hours.We need to do a stress test on the network with 100-500-1000-10000 txs per hour to see if it scales and record the networks ability to process them. After the findings are recorded, an assessment must be done and a course of action must be decided on what to fix (or not fix). Doing a comparative test to other networks (like BCN and BBR) for similar amounts of transactions is also useful for comparison purposes. I was one of those people but it turns out it was a problem with the exchange I was sending from not Monero. I posted this in the main Monero thread when I found out what the issue was. |

My withdrawal issue of 9 hours ago was due to Poloniex not Monero.
The withdrawal has been credited back to my account.

I don't understand why all these people are having issues. Leave your coin on the exchange or in your wallet. What is the purpose of moving from exchange to exchange unless you want to dump a bunch and need to spread it out? Mintpall is no better than Poloniex for trading XMR.
Your correct but again some of us saw the prices at mintpal in the beginning and transferred, or that is tried to transfer. 3 1/2 hours and waiting. |

This is possibly the busiest time for any one blockchain that happened ever... Imagine everybody sending all their coins to mintpal all at once!
It happens all the time. This is nothing special. I don't understand why everyone wants to send their coins to mintpal. What was wrong with Poloniex? Because we saw the price higher there but unlike sending btc that poloniex accepts after 1 confirmation, about 10 minutes, it takes hours or a day to send Monero/XMR |

Using wolf's hash rate and current parameters, I get marginal cost of 0.00653, which corresponds more closely to current market clearing at 0.007
After reading this and looking at the action I moved my last buy order from 0.0064242 to 0.00653 and I was the lowest buy filled except for a small order at 0.00652253 It quickly went back to 0.007 where it is now. Thank you for the calculation and also canonsburg for the accurate inputs. |

Where did your other 1700 posts go and why? I'm NOT sure what you mean... ? For one thing, I have an imitator, poster, which could also be someone in the thread.. I suppose.. and additionally, you snipped the content of the referenced post, which was from me... and that referenced post shows my current post count as in the 1800s... which seems accurate... At first I thought you deleted posts because your post count was low. What I see is that your post count is 140 and never changes. Unless you have some kind of glitch on your end, my activity level is currently 140 and my current post count is 1851. Maybe restart you browser... ? hehehe...  or change the battery on your mouse..  I didn't realize that they changed the display to activity from post count. You can now choose to display post count in addition to activity. You no longer are "hero" |

File>New/Restore select wallet from list and then select "Save". Is that correct, and if so what happens next?
NONONONONONONO THIS WILL OVERWRITE THE WALLET FILE! File>New/Restore, then TYPE IN A NEW NAME THAT IS NOT THE SAME AS ANY ONE IN THE LIST. This is like the "Save As..." feature of any word processor. If you choose the same name as an existing file, it will DELETE the old file, and REPLACE it with the new wallet you create/restore. Thank you for your response. I am trying to restore an existing wallet whose password was written down incorrectly and whose seed I hope is written down correctly. How does choosing a new name restore a wallet of a different name? I suppose I could delete Electrum and and reinstall it in order to change the password on the wallet in question. I imagined it could be done without deleting and reinstalling. I have never used a word processor, I don't even have one on my new computer.  Kinda makes it difficult to read the occasional word document sent to me. An idea I just had is to install Electrum on somebody else's computer to make sure the seed is correct before I delete it from my computer or even try to restore it. |
