2582  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2020-07-30] Power plants in Iran can mine Bitcoin on: August 04, 2020, 12:10:55 PM
I have a question about cost per KWH. Bitcoin mining depends on energy costs among other things such computing/processing equipment. I would like to know what the break even point is for the cost in cents/KWH. By way of experience does anyone have some level for the cost/KWH that is a threshold for profitable crypto mining, possibly for different coins, or at least the major coins???

With the electricity price in China and the 'average' equipment, I suppose the BEP is about $5-6,000 currently. There are websites that you can use to calculate the mining profitability depending on the power and hash rate (i.e. https://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency).

You can surely find more stuffs in the Mining board

Yet many individual investors are beginners and have a low investment capacity. Moreover, the lack of investment experience is a disadvantage for investors who often have to spend large sums of money in unsuitable online training courses.

Investors with no money and lack of investment experience aren't investors. It's the average Joe you're trying to target.

You're supposing to create a pool that you will manage to handle funds from people and invest it in the cryptocurrency market. So people need to rely on you for their funds, if you make a mistake it's not you money that will be burning, it's the money from other people. If there is a mistake to be made, better they do it themselves. At best you can, of course, give advice and others, but managing people funds is something else.

There are also laws to be able to manage people so you have the regulatory directives as well.

If you were offering me this idea IRL I would tell you "Yes, I'm new to the cryptocurrency market, show me but I 'm not going to give you funds to the pool, I will invest myself"

Hi

On the homepage, it says the first verification is free. However, following my registration, it seems not possible anymore to test it for free as I'm asked to top up my balance account
Is it?

Checking addresses or hash in bulk could a good option by the way

Why not if the person understands perfectly what it is about otherwise he could be hit hard. As you say it's a type of trading more advanced, jumping on it as a newbie isn't going to end well in most cases. It's easy to make a mistake like over-leveraging, not using a stop-loss order.

If I remember correctly, not long ago there is an exchange that decided to stop it because people complained about it but the truth is that they don't understand correctly and were loosing money

2587  Economy / Economics / Re: Second Stimulus check - What are you going to do with it? on: August 03, 2020, 12:34:48 PM
The stimulus check is supposed to be an aid for the lower/middle class that got financial difficulties. By logic it should be used to buy food, pay the bills, the rent, etc. I don't consider it normal if people use it to pay for holidays or something mentioned in OP like video cards, cryptos,...

In this case, it means they don't really need help finally.

It's like if you give $10 to a homeless begging in the street and instead to buy food you see him buying the latest iPhone (ok iPhone doesn't cost 10 bucks but you get the point).

It should be mandatory that it should only be used in certain places, such as supermarkets.
The same people who complain because they don't have enough money, living paycheck to paycheck, but when they get free money, see what they do with it...

Then they will also complain because the country's deficit increased. Free money that will be paid by paying higher taxes...from people who weren't eligible to the stimulus by the way.
2588  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Anyone in the Bitcoin ATM business? on: August 03, 2020, 11:43:10 AM
In some countries it's surely profitable but I wouldn't do it in mine for sure.

It costs from $5k to $10k to buy a Bitcoin ATM depending from which company you buy it from, + a percentage commission that goes to the company. Without the shipping fees, otherwise, you can probably add a $1,000 fee and another $1,000 to install it.
That's a total of $7k-$12k.

Renting a place to put your machine if you don't own a business/shop, it's therefore in your best interest to pick the right location to make it profitable. You can imagine that setting it up in the ghetto will not be profitable.  Roll Eyes

Japan has the worst debt-to-GDP ratio in the world. The Fed today is taking pages out of the Bank of Japan's book. Why would the yen become the dominant reserve currency?

I think this is a good take on the Euro question:

Quote
There is no inherent reason why the euro could not become a credible alternative to the dollar for international payments and reserves. All the Europeans would need to do is replace their national sovereign debts with a single government bond market explicitly backed by the ECB and unconstrained by any fiscal rules. Until they are prepared to do that, however, Juncker’s ambition will remain nothing more than a dream.

https://www.barrons.com/articles/why-the-euro-wont-replace-the-dollar-1536945404


My bad. I confused the Yen and Yuan Lips sealed

What about now central banks increase their EUR reserves? The proportion of the dollar has been constantly dropping in the last decades. Of course it's still high, but it won't be sooner or later. While it was ~80% in the '70s it represents only ~50-60% nowadays.

Also many times Germany and Japan helped the USD to not seeing the US dollar depreciated, 30 or 40 years ago. Whitout that, maybe USD couldn't become what it is today.

Maintenant il va falloir s'attendre à une vague d'emails qui nous demanderont de leur fournir les 24 mots, sans compter les spams pour des airdrops et compagnie...
Il faudra aussi faire gaffe à ne pas se faire hacker son email, il existe plein de solutions (prêtes à l'emploi) à ce but. il faudrait activer les notifications de sécurité et rester vigilant entre autres, qui sait tu pourrais encore avoir une ancienne sauvegarde de wallet blockchain.info avec un mot de passe pas très élaboré sur ton email. (ou te faire hijacker ton PP) !!


Pour ma part, je n'ai pas de mot de passe et on ne peut pas se connecter à ces emails. Grin Puis comme beaucoup de gens j'ai des emails spécifique au truc de cryptos, je ne suis pas assez fou pour utiliser les même emails.

@Betwrong

You're right.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatisation_in_Iran#Utilities
Quote
All domestic power plants will be privatised gradually, except those the government feels it should run to ensure security of the national electricity grid. Power plants of Damavand, Mashhad, Shirvan, Kerman, Khalij-e Fars, Abadan, Bisotoon, Sanandaj, Manjil and Binalood, which have been turned into public limited firms, are ready for privatisation.[59] As of 2010, 20 power plants were ready for privatisation in Iran.[60]

 When I was trying to find out about it I found the agency "Atomic Energy Organization of Iran" and it says (AEOI) is the main Iranian government agency responsible for operating nuclear energy and nuclear fuel cycle installations in Iran, and I thought it was only this agency. The problem is, I only checked on one nuclear power plant wikipedia page... (Bascher or a name similar)

Still, the most important thing is to use the nuclear energy to mine Bitcoin, it's a pretty clever thing to do considering nuclear energy cannot be stored.

Les gens en n'ont rien à faire de la confidentialité, si c'était vraiment le cas il ne verifieraient pas leur comptes sur les plateformes d'échanges à tout va. Ou même s'inscrire sur un site, tel que blockchain.com pour ramasser 20 balles. Quand c'est une question d'argent les gens oublient tout.

Il faut se dire aussi qu'il y a confidentialité et confidentialité, forcement Paypal a besoin de renseignement personnel si c'est pour l'utiliser pour envoyer/recevoir des paiements.

Quand tu dis que cela pourrait apporter plus de problèmes, tu penses à quoi? Je pense pas que cela apporte plus de problèmes que d'échanger des EUR pour des CHF ou autres

Actually @OP is not wrong. EURO is also a major reserve currency FYI. It's a currency used even by some microstates such as Vatican and Monaco, as well as countries that are not even Europeans such as Zimbabwe, N. Cyprus. Even in the UK there are shops accepting EURO.

If it replaced ~20 currencies and if there are a dozen currencies pegged to EUR it can replace the US dollars too. There are also countries swithching from USD to EUR for international trading (ie Russia, Syria, Cuba). 20 years ago, Iraq decided the sales of oil have to be done now in EUR (it changed back to USD only because The US invaded Irak and forced the country to change its decision) But there are more and more countries looking to avoid the US dollar. Russia owns now more EUR than USD.

Just to show that finally it's not something so difficult or impossible as you may think. It will take time but more people or countries decide to prefer EUR and lose confidence in USD more chance you will see EUR replacing UDS.

https://www.americanexpress.com/us/foreign-exchange/articles/could-dollar-be-replaced-as-world-reserve-currency/

But there is another contender, the Yen, which is also categorized as a reserve currency by IMF since5 years

Quand tu vois que Veran avait commencé à dire qu'il le recommandait dans la rue, ce n'était plus qu'une question de jours avant que cela passe de "recommandé" à "obligatoire". D'ailleurs cela s'est passé pareil avec les masques dans les lieux pubics.
Pour l'instant c'est quelques villes qui font ca mais va bien falloir s'attendre à ce que ce soit généralisé par l'Etat. Aussi pour ca qu'ils ont décidé d'envoyer des masques à certains particuliers

Certain qu'ils se disent, c'est soit ca ou reconfinement. A mon avis le 2nd tour du confinement on va y avoir droit, je suis sur qu'ils attendent la rentrée, parce qu'actuellement avec les vacances ils savent ce que ca donnerai...

2599  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Japan's Dormant accounts waking up finally on: August 01, 2020, 04:15:21 PM
Do addresses that have received BTC count as "dormant addresses" as well though, or is it just addresses that have not made any kind of txs in a while?

Just in case you confused, note that in the article what is defined as "dormant" are the accounts on the exchange platform that were inactive for a while, there is no mention to addresses.

But to anwser your question a BTC address is considered dormant despite the fact it still receives transactions. See for example the Top Dormant for 5 years Bitcoin Addresses and the last in dates. What matters is the last TX out
2600  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: More than 50% of bitcoins from Twitter hack have been sent through mixers on: August 01, 2020, 03:43:59 PM
Actually, if you read correctly the blog post from Elliptic.co, it says that only a low percentage has been sent to exchange platforms, but not only, from this low percentage, some bitcoins have also be sent to casinos and merchants.
Quote
a few percent have in fact been spent or cashed-out at exchanges, merchants and gambling services

Looking at the graph it represents about 10% which means ~$12k only. So it's about $12k split between exchanges, casinos, and merchants, a relatively ridiculous amount.

On the top of that, the guy surely sent to exchanges not strict with AML/KYC, maybe accountless exchanges, or the one without KYC, to small to have a surveillance.... Bought a few stuff with merchants not able to block/track those bitcoins or to late because the items have been delivered.
I don't know how casinos work regarding AML, so won't comment, but maybe depositing BTC and then withdraw without playing?

Seeing how big was the hack, getting only $120k is so ridiculous by the way.
