Today I received a letter.

admin on 2015-05-20 14:53:23

Hi cytener2,
your redeem 2pics ANTS2 has been shipped
tracking Number: 1000485895844 1000485895843
tacking website: http://www.yundaex.com/


The only problem with it , it's not my Hashnest username.

I received this today as well, I presume it's a phishing attempt of some sort.  Don't click links that you aren't 110% sure about....

Long live honest tradebots in "honest" Hashnest!
 

The bots on HN are the easiest I've found to game--I'm not sure what people are complaining about.  If you don't want to deal with them, buy and sell at market prices.

Ps - go for s4 lower risk aceptable price

The S4 is slightly more profitable than the S5, currently.  Here's the math: http://nextdifficulty.com/#roi

Just in case your daily fix of paycoin imbecility is not sufficient anymore: The hashtards now have their own badly written facebook clone. Have fun with "The Paycoin Users Social Network". http://paycoin.social

That stupid Twitter bird makes me irrationally angry.

If I am correct that Charity will be the key to the "pyramid"

This sounds like crazy talk.  I like it!

For example at this very moment the hashnest shop price 1.64 btc per s5 divided by 1155 gh gives a per gh price of .00141 which is much cheaper then the market atm.  In my opinion it is enough of a difference that it is probably better to buy from the shop at the moment then on the overpriced open market.

Is there an arbitrage opportunity here?  When BM credits the 1155 GHS to my account, does it then become de-coupled from the hardware; i.e. could I then sell those credited GHS on the open market as individual shares?

Cheers.

Yes, after 72 hours your account gets credited 1155 gh on the ant5 market.  

You can then do whatever you want with those 1155 ant 5 gh on the open market.  They are de-coupled from the physical miner like you said.

I imagine you could still redeem your physical s5 unit in the future per 1155 gh you owned similar to what they did with the old s2 units provided you pay shipping ( which can be cost prohibitive in some cases ).  Again, guessing.. not sure the exact policy on the s5 and redeeming.

Edit - To answer your question on arbitrage there is indeed an opportunity when the shop price is a lot lower then the market.  Just be sure to remember you will wait 72 hours to get those 1155 gh into your account and a lot can change in 72 hours.  Also remember some people are probably doing the same thing....  Lastly, also take notice of the amount of s5 available in the shop ( I think it is currently 500 left ).  They have run out in the past but then added 2000 more units to sell.  You just never know when they will add a ton more supply or all of a sudden have none left to sell.

******** Note ******  per the main bitmaintech site that sells hardware direct there is this note under the antminer s5 batch 5

A limited quantity of units will be sold in this batch. This is the last round of production for AntMiner S5, and Batch 5 will be the second-to-last batch of S5 units to be sold.

******************

Now, bitmain has been known to all of a sudden have a ton more supply of something that looked like it was about to be gone...  So you never know.  However, In my opinion the next antminer s6 might be out soonish ( like this summer )  So they very well could be stopping the production cycyle for the s5 soon like they stated above...

When I say soon I have no way of knowing when... 2 weeks - 4 months... Smiley

Thanks for this info, it's ultra-helpful.  Can I changetip you a beer somewhere?

Hi,Im thinking about starting to use this service.I have a budget of 220 dollars.How much would I make daily with that?Monthly?And if this is a bad service what is a good service?

Current ROI is about 220-280 days or about 0.4% daily yield depending on type of contract you buy - look here: http://nextdifficulty.com/#roi

Cheers for this link!

...I'm no part of the "hate on dogie" crowd.

It is not a "hate on dogie" crowd. It is an ever increasing number of forum members who have legitimate grievances. The reason you are not amongst them is probably because you have not yet:

been neg rep'd by him for having a different or correct point of view,
or been neg rep'd by one of his aliases for no reason,
or been fraudulently charged VAT by him,
or been publicly wrongfully accused of something by him,
or had your thread spammed with BS by him,
or been given false reports & bad reviews by him,
or been insulted & bullied off the forum by him,
or had your posts reported & deleted by him because he doesn't like what you say,
etc, etc.....

Spondoolies themselves have been a victim of his slurs. Don't worry - you'll soon get to be a member of this "crowd" when he gets round to you..... Wink

I doubt it. He's been nothing but cool to me in our few interactions. But anyway, I'll just leave it at that. As I said, I'm slightly positive, and overall neutral towards the man. His guides have been very helpful to me, and whether or not the above holds true, he and I have never crossed swords.

I'm going to take some time out of my afternoon to second this.  Dogie has done a ton of work for this community--even if he's a dick (which I've never experienced in dealing directly with him) he's still brought a ton of value to newbs and pros alike.  No one is perfect, but I don't believe the pitchforks are merited.

Tried visiting BTC.com from a public Wi-Fi network when...



My filter on campus decided it was in the "ads" category, which is telling.  We don't have a "scam" or a "shitty grammar" category, obviously.

The articles in the "Learning Center" of btc.com sound like Josh Garza himself wrote them. English of a 12 year old.

Cringe worthy, to be sure.  Upside is that this won't last long--once the long hand of the law finally catches up with Garza, he'll likely stop making "payments" on this domain.

I'm pretty sure he stopped payments already and offloaded the domain to Bitcoinist, perhaps in an attempt to recover a fraction of his "investment". The alternative would have been to forfeit it all and have it revert to the previous owner.


Does Bitcoinist have the cash to pay the mortgage on that domain?  Wasn't it a trillion billion dollars?

Expecially when the profit is in idiotic "satoshis" that are not even a unit of measure.

295  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: GAW / Josh Garza discussion. Paycoin XPY CoinStand Mineral. ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :) on: May 01, 2015, 12:35:39 AM

In typical Homero fashion, reservecoincard.com appears to be hosted at Wix, a free/low-cost shared website hosting service. Oh, and he misspelled "Coin" in the title. Derp.


Curses, you beat me to it! ;-)

Ha! There's always lots of low hanging fruit with a Homero J. Garza production, not surprised we picked on the same idiocy. Cheesy

Agreed.  [weird internet high five?]
296  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: GAW / Josh Garza discussion. Paycoin XPY CoinStand Mineral. ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :) on: May 01, 2015, 12:34:25 AM
I am proud of Josh for this latest scheme, he is at least accepting (through an intermediary) Paycoin.  Now his suckers GAWlowers finally have a place to give him the rest of their ever diminishing assets.  And to think, this reservation only runs 668 XPY!  For now.

sweet deal you can pay homero 50-100$ upfront for the priviledge of getting cc that comes (lol sure) in few months. please take my money now!  Roll Eyes
http://www.reservecoincard.com/#!compare-cards/c1ck0




of course he doesnt want to accept paycoin  Grin

WOW... did you see the terms?  On the lowest cost $50 card, load fee = $5+2.5% of amount!  ATM withdraw is limited to $200 (most are $400) and will cost you $3 (plus what ever the local ATM holder charges!)... Holy SHIT, that's insane expensive, even banks don't do that kind of shit and they're masters of gouging people!

So, to put $400 on it and later with draw it it would cost you:

$5 + $10 (2.5% x 400) to deposit, then $3 times 2 for the two withdraws... so $21 for the pleasure of putting $400 on that card and taking it back off?  Is my math correct?
 

This is standard Homero-ing here, folks.  The website is through Wix, the checkout system isn't encrypted until the very end--my "billing address" was sent clear text, and someone Josh misspelled the title on the page.  It reads "Cion."

I would set the p= in the password to 0.0110 to 0.0115 and let it roll. There have been spikes in SHA-256 the past 2 weeks at times to 30% over +.

i haven't played with the options like p= at all...but with the profit being -5% I thought I might.  so I set one of my s3's to be p=.011, saved/applied and then rebooted. 

I don't know if .011 is really a good value.  would love peoples thoughts.

my s3 now shows that for westhash its "dead" and is mining at my secondary location.  How often does the s3 check on the primary mining location, westhash, to see if it should switch back to westhash for mining?

thoughts are absolutely welcome. 

I would use 0.0115 myself--nice/westhash charges a fee, so you want to make sure you take that into consideration.  I use the calculator at bitcoinwisdom (on the diff page, top right) to determine what the 100% mark is per 1TH, then I bump that number up to make sure it's profitable.  YMMV, but this will help you catch the crazy 30%+ rental fees without you worry about wasting hash when it's less profitable.

is the "port" still the same?  :3334 ??

Correct, the port number does not change.

Unless I am mistaken they only charge a fee for the renter but not people selling hash to them.


I am charged fees as a renter, you are mistaken.  Take a look at your status page; you'll find a "Fees BTC" right next to the "Account BTC."
