Is that for real? A mini ARM PC just like the Arduino or the RasPI (20$) ends up being 400$ because it comes with some software on it based on open source code?

Just wow. If that sell, some people here will make a killing making a image of a RasPI with a pre-setup bitcoincore/mining node where you just need to slap or generate a wallet.dat on it.

All they have to do is copy it to a cheap RasPI and they make 2000% return.

That is what i am suggesting, but i'm not sure what kind of infrastructure could be used to regulate BTC for that cheap when there is no way to know/prove who own what address until a user send money online to his bank.

As such if a user is careful and use stealth services, its very hard to do any regulating since it would require a lot of resources to little avail.

You could have them actively monitor billions of addresses and money moving to and from retailers that accept Bitcoin and match them with personal data that they aren't even legally allowed to request (in countries with proper civil rights).

And you'd need massive man power to shift through everything since its not because 2 address connect that all the connected addresses is owned by one person.

For instance if a user here is sending me money from an address connected to 10 addresses which 10s of addresses are connected to it and then i send that money to an address and cash it out, does it mean every address connected to it is mine? Of course not, and its nearly impossible to prove which is which by simple mathematical connections.

Right, but thats still twice the cost of buying 2 smaller PSU. I was just pointing out that you can get to the same result by buying 2 smaller PSU instead of one big PSU that is worth 5 smaller PSU.

You're paying premium for 93%~ eff instead of 91%~ efficiency and for having the watt support in one unit instead of two.

For instance for under 300$ you could get 2 EVGA GS 1050W which would give you 91.0%+ Efficiency vs the AX1500i's 92.2% for 400$~ And it goes down to 200$ if you're okay with the efficiency dropping to 90% by getting 2 750W PSU, or 240$ for 2 850W PSU.


Same answer as above, you'll have more stable voltage and less psu strain and much better headroom if you go for 2x PSU and for cheaper. You could go with 2 smaller Plat PSU if you wanted to get better efficiency than the AX1500i and it would still be cheaper and you would still have better headroom.

Thats a decent PSU but the price is out of this world. You can do better with 2x750-1050 EVGA P/G2/GS From one third the price to half the price for near or same efficiency depending on whether you get G or P.

The G2/GS are so popular because they push nearly Platinum efficiency and the price is right.

Could power the S7 for 150$ no problem with 10 or 7 years warranty.

Its relatively normal, depending on which CGMiner version i'd use i'd get different hashrate too, but poolside, nearly no difference.

For pools, i'd recommend http://www.kano.is/index.php the payouts are much less steady but its less fee and better payouts into accounts of several factors, such as optimized pool code.

Thats the one i use but i think the most important point i'd like to advocate is pointing hashrate away from China. They centralized enough hashrate as it is already, imo.

Are you guys done bashing? You cannot recover an address from another Bitcoin address. The whole process need to go back to the privkey, hence the comment of me and other users.

"That" is what was asked "Can you recover address from address" in broken English and that is the proper answer.

I did not forget jim. If you still want it i will still give it to you but i'm still waiting for the pool payment, they're being slow as hell, usually they pay everyday even if its 0.005~.

It is supposed to autoshut down at 80c, but you should keep the miner at 60c or lower anyways. If you want another failsafe that is not software based use something like this;

A complete thread on the topic;

Don't take any recommendation at face value;

If properly cooled then not dangerous at all, if you need a cheap way to do it though, get a Sidehack USB stick. With the GPU and CPU you won't even meet dust minimum threshold and you'll be wasting electricity generating heat for nothing.

If the Bitcoin volume become too big, that will mean there will be a much lesser volume being used in US, CAD, Euro, etc, everything.

If the demand is lowered for USD and Cie then their value will drop, as such that could be a huge economical threats those big countries and then they might regret not killing Bitcoin when it would of only cost 1 billion USD.

Ive had trouble getting my bank account connected, i had to go through a few session with a tech chat representative and eventually they manually fixed it or something. After that i been able to get funds in and out very quickly with no problem whatsoever. I done it twice for in the last month.

There are already tons of people holding. Just look at the liquidity of BTC, the volume and how many BTC are listed at exchanges. The majority of BTC are lost or being held, so this whole topic is a Fallacy.

What we need is to continue making BTC accepted in more and more places.

Thats because its a Ponzi, so sooner or later it will collapse and stop paying, if you want to make money with a Ponzi, you need to go quick in, quick out, and its still gambling, not an investment.

As such you should stay away from Ponzi if your goal is to "earn" BTC.

It seem very small and the page is very vague. It seem like an interesting concept and i would be inclined to try it if there was more groundwork laid out. And it really depend on what kind of Videos pay, because if its just pointless spam ads, then i wouldn't help spread that on facebook.

But the problem is cellphones are really not very secured platforms for doing such transactions, if you use it through some kind of banking app to an exchange that let you buy BTC with your interact/debit card, then its a lot of personal information you're chugging through with very weak security.

What may work better is an app that let you substitute a BTC payment with a debit payment by going through a payment processor.

No it is not. A public key can not be reverse engineered back to its privkey and you cannot actually recover a privkey using bruteforce. It is a mess but if you put information like that, you will just cause confusion, and thus, a mess.

If they want to kill Bitcoin, they can by making a super datacenter and overtaking the blockchain. Its not impossible to do, i'm just guessing BTC is not enough of a threat to any government to warrant such a high handed attack against Bitcoin.

Coinbase;

Not much else to say, its instant with interact, you can raise your limit by verifying your identity and the fee is 1%+70cents i believe. Then you can send it back within 24hours to a bank account for 1%+1$.

The governments if they get a good reason to attack BTC, could effectively destroy BTC if they wanted. FUD and banning/making it illegal will probably be the least of our worries if they come up with a direct attack.

If BTC become mainstream and easy to use for everyone, seeing the benefits of us and the penalties for the governments, direct attacks may become the truth.

If they stay ambivalent toward Bitcoin like this forever, then sure we'll be fine.

Basically its just a pain here because people can edit their bid. You will have to have someone trusted doing the quoting or taking a screenshot or such.
