321  Economy / Securities / Re: [BitFunder] Ukyo.Loan - Paying 0.05% daily. on: March 08, 2014, 12:09:13 AM
Only 5% of them need to be sold at that price to fully cover all of the ACtM debt.
Once that debt is settled the remaining shares or BTC will likely be given to a safe third party for distribution to the victims of Uyko. This is entirely legal and right.
You don't get my point. In a worst case scenario I expect the rest of Ukyo's wealth to be distributed proportionately to us, the debtees. It is not in our interest that one entity gets his isolated cut before.

I suggest to create a new closed thread dedicated to Ukyo.Loan debtees to discuss the resolution constructively. That closed thread should be accessed by Ukyo plus deptees above a significant amount only. I would say a reasonable minimum is 10 BTC? Any opinions on that? I have the impression that everyone wants to have a word in that and the lower the involved amount is, the more non-constructive the words are. Do we have a list of BTC addresses who are involved into Ukyo.Loan?

This sounds like a good idea. Can you set this up?
I think it sounds like a good ide to.

If I recall seeing how this guy who owned BTCquick copied my business model. I think he goes by the name of MAC on btcjam but I could be wrong it was so a year or so ago. If its not the same person they are very closly tied, and he can help you get a hold of this guy.

My guess is the same thing that happened to me happened to him... CHARGEBACK CHARGEBACK CHARGEBACK Credit cards and bitcoin do no play well
Ascension here on bitcointalk goes by the name Ascension on Btcjam to https://btcjam.com/users/419 and he has a flawless record at BTCjam, he has loaned 589.88 BTC and paid back all loans on time for a total of 630.63 BTC.
Ascension and MAC is two different persons, Ascension is running BTCquick, MAC is having lots of different project he's doing, he have loaned Ascension/BTCquick money way back in the past and i think he have shares in BTCquick since long ago to.

I think most people on btcjam would agree that MAC is the most trusted borrower on btcjam. He also have a flawless record, he has paid all loans on time, 1761.16 btc loaned and 2043.09 paid back.
324  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Could the Bitcoin difficulty go down? on: March 07, 2014, 05:04:04 PM
I am just wondering if a lot of miners would stop mining (I know this is next to impossible) could the bitcoin difficulty go down instead of up? Thanks
Yes the Difficulty can go down and it has in the past, but it will most likely only be for one or a couple of difficulty changes before it will start rising again.

One possibility would be if for example a very large Bitcoin mining farm would be down for a longer period of time for example if there having technical difficultys or need to relocate to another country or sells the hardware because of electricity cost is making there mining less profitable or unprofitable.

Another possible could be if bitcoin price would make a relatively rapid and big change down in price(ex 10 000 usd/coin down to 2000 usd/coin) and it stayed there for several weeks/months sometime in the future when the "normal" hash-rate increase per difficulty-period is small(1-3%) that could lead to people in large numbers would stop mining or selling/relocating hardware to places/people/country's where electricity price would be lower or in some cases possibly even free.

A third possibility would be that large amount of obsolete mining equipment would end there life as seasonal dependent heating devices replacing/backing up existing electrical heaters witch could then lead to that difficulty could see some decrease in the spring/summer period if the majority of those miners is located on the northern hemisphere.

Last time bitcoin difficulty went down was 23 jan 2013 when the difficulty went down 8,64%

Date              Difficulty     Change    Hash Rate
Feb 05 2013    3,275,465    10.33%    23,447 GH/s
Jan 23 2013    2,968,775    -8.64%    21,251 GH/s
Jan 08 2013    3,249,550     9.06%     23,261 GH/s
325  Economy / Securities / Re: [RETURN] Announcing CoinReturn Financial IPO! on: March 07, 2014, 03:28:05 PM
Have you considered NAV/U control like BTCinvest?

This seemed to ensure value and share price were in alignment. This is something i would recommend



Can't say we're familiar with this. Didn't find much info about the mechanics when we searched but if you have a link to how it works we'll gladly look into it.
NAV is Net Asset Value and NAV/U Net Asset Value per Unit(share). So if a share price is 0.005 like in your case and cryptostocks takes 0.15% in fees when people buy shares then after the first share is sold and before you started doing any trades the start NAV would be 0.0049925 btc as that is the total amount your positions would be worth 0.0049925/1 (share). If you for example after a few days and with for example 100 sold shares (0.49925) and before the dividend is payed would have turned that to 0.575 btc then the NAV/U would be 0.575/100 = 0.00575 btc and if it was time to pay dividend to shareholders it would then be 0.0007125 btc, ignoring what fees would eat up on the way back to cryptostocks.

NAV/U wouldn't be that useful to report once a week or something thou as you are to pay out all profit either in the form of dividend to shareholders and the rest to the administrators anyway.
326  Economy / Securities / Re: [RETURN] Announcing CoinReturn Financial IPO! on: March 07, 2014, 02:01:41 PM
Pardon me for being inquisitive, but if you're able to get 125% / week, thus more than 3000% a year, why bother with looking for investors?

Maybe I mis-spoke/typo'd. Is there a specific part where you got 125% weekly? I re-read the whitelist and my posts and didn't see that but if I missed it could you let me know so I can fix that

To your question though, if we were getting 125% every week then we'd probably not need investors since we'd be busy swimming in our pools of money. As I said before though a really good week for us is 100% but some weeks are only 5% and a very rough estimate of "average' returns would be a range of 10%-50%, and even still some weeks where we lose money or basically break even. As a whole though we've come out ahead consistantly enough to feel comfortable expanding our portfolio to the public. We think if we can combine a good part of our funds with investors then the sum of the profits will be very much worthwhile to us. Bear in mind we (after the first month) are going to keep 35% of the profits, alot of projects on Cryptostocks give 90% of the profits to shareholders (supposedly anyway).
Please let me know if I didn't answer your orginal question or if you have anymore questions.

-Tom
If you don't need investors if you were getting 25% every week in return i can't see that if your true average range of return rather is in the 10-50% weekly return it would be any different, you would still "be busy swimming in our pool of money" as you put it.

(10+50)/2 is 30 by the way, 30% is even more than 25%, just saying....
327  Economy / Securities / Re: [BitFunder] btcQuick - Bitcoin Sales Service on: March 06, 2014, 11:39:52 PM
Has anyone here contacting CEO of btcquick over the phone number. I am really a bit worry that our money invest in this company is gone!!!

Is that because BTC value largely increase, thus he think he has no more interest on operating BTCQUICK , since the BTC in his hand already a huge amount.

I found all the problem come after the huge acceleration of BTC price....
I had the impression that BTCquick bought the same amount of btc at the same time someone placed an order for btc and therefore never lost on usd/btc moves, i could be wrong thou i never looked at how it worked closely.

The current problem as far as i understand it is that us has probably sent out guidlines to us business in the bitcoinsector in the oct-nov-dec 2013 timeframes on what they have to follow to be allowed to handle USD/BTC trades. To accept customers in most, 43 out of 48 states companys need to register as money transmiiters and it's probably a bunch of other things needed to be done to, cryptsy for example mentioned licensing costs of a million or two usd to register in all states, so it's probably better to have the business entierly on non us soil or just target international customers and no us citicens at all, so i think there reconstructing things a bit to be able to make things work as good as possible in the future, just a guess thou, we really need to hear from Ascension when they got some updates.

I agree that it's possible that cryptostocks might be getting kickbacks.

When we created our account, immediately we sent all our information for verification.  Even with all this going on we still have not received anything back from cryptostocks.  We send image for the home page to be recognized more, but all the miners images get posted such as COIN which disappeared within  a few days.

It makes it extremely difficult to start an legitimate IPO, when the service you selected is doing nothing to protect from these scams.

Cryptostocks owner, (I am assuming one person) need to improve the customer relationship or it a sinking ship.

Yes they need to improve there customer relationship.

The owner of Cryptostocks is Kumala https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=41776 last logged in March 05, 2014, 03:30:37 PM on this forum so you should be able to reach him by PM here on bitcointalk to if you need to get in touch with him.
Kumala is also the majority(70%) owner of Vircurex exchange. I did read somewhere that Cryptostocks is under Vircurex as in owned by Vircurex/registered under it, if that is the case you probably have a few hundred small partial owners of Cryptostocks to in the form of shareholders in Vircurex but i haven't seen Kumala either confirm or deny whether Vircurex owns Cryptostocks. But in either case Kumala is the one running the ship on those two company's.
331  Economy / Securities / Re: WARNING Cryptostocks.com INVESTORS SECURITY FLAW on: March 06, 2014, 01:25:54 PM
What the hell is going on.  It's obvious at this point that FIREMINE/ALTSWAP/MINECO/maybe others?  Are a SCAM!!!  This "hack" has nothing to do with cryptostocks, altswap is just trying to rip all of us off by dumping all the shares they have to clean up the order books and abscond with the money.  They even went so far as to issue 100000 more altswap shares to clear the really low buy orders out.  What is more absurd is that their mineco is still listed, and being traded!  All of these listings have the same owner "info@altswap.com".  This is freaking absurd.  Why hasn't cryptostocks come here to a) Refute claims that they are easily hacked and b) Warn traders about this OBVIOUS SCAM!?!?

After seeing this thread I lost 0.12 BTC to altswap assuming they were acting in good faith.  Had cryptostocks been paying any damned attention to how altswap is manipulating their system, they would have halted trading on these SCAM stocks immediately and refunded as many traders as they could out of ALTSWAP's account balance.

Scammers will be scammers, but cryptostocks.com making no attempt at all to monitor and resolve this situation makes me extremely weary of their service.
Could not agree with this gentleman more.  Obvious firemine, mineco, and altswap are a singular scam effort at this point.  These are only a few in a long-line of scam-shares that have been posted on CS. The fact that the CS admin can lead one to only one of two conclusions:
1.) Some sort of obvious kick-back in the aftermath of each scam
2.) Admin is earning so much with transaction fee's he figures, if it ain't broke (insofar as to what it earns me) why fix it? 


There's no doubt that FIREMINE/ALTSWAP/MINECO is a scam and it's unbelievable that CS allow them to keep going, one second they claim to have been hacked, the next they are leaving CS and after that they try to promote there next scam MINECO, can CS/Kumala please be kind and explain exactly what's going on there.

1) The know kickbacks Kumala/Cryptostocks gets is 1 btc per listed project so 3 btc from this obvious scammers listings.

2) 0,15% from both sides on bought/sold shares so before the mess started in altswaps listings maby 35 btc*0,003=0,105 btc from altswap and 63 btc*0,003=0,189 btc from firemine Mineco seems to have sold 150 shares so 7.5 btc*0,003=0,0225 btc the rest of the 5020 must be a few that transfered over shares but i look more likely that it's alswaps way of scamming investors from the dividend that they now pretend to be paying some of, but in reallity most of it is probably going back to themselfs throu accounts they control witch would be breaking Cryptostocks rules as the issuer is not allowed to get dividend on the shares they have in there possestion.

Each transfer(not per share as far as i understand it) Cryptostocks take a fee of 0.005btc*2(both the one trading in and the issuer pays that) for. The 0.01 per stock that firemine announced for traing in firemine to mineco goes to firemine.

Each withdrawal Cryptostocks charge 0.005 btc for.

If Cryptostocks actually takes bribes to let actual and obvious scams to carry on scamming people on there exchange i don't know, hopefully not.

60% annual income on investment sounds very low for scryptmining profits and low for btc mining profits for the next 12 months based on today's difficulty and reasonable assumptions on the future development of it unless you by that mean 160% ROI year 1, 60% return year 2,3,4....

But either way how did you come up with that number and how can you even estimate/guarantee any such returns that far into the future ??
Because right now we have approximate return on investment of 11% monthly, therefore considering distribution over the year according to difficulty raise and estimating expansion with new equipment we came to that number as one that can be guaranteed over the year of mining. Right now we mine 0.033 BTC a day with ASICs plus 0.008 a day on Doge, total of 0.041BTC a day. We purchased equipment from reseller in January for 1150$ each 50Ghash butterfly, 700$ block erupter and scrypt rig at almost 2000$, total 7300$. Right now we mine approx. 26$ a day (at 650$ BTC) less expenses, specially electrical bill. If difficulty was not an issue we would have mined over 9000 a year (if BTC stay at or over 650$ each), but we consider it and will replace all ASICs with or without an external investment. We have plans to purchase Cointerra 2 Thash and we expect 600 Ghash Monarch from Butterfly that was pre-ordered for 2138$ plus shipping. Also we will order new GPU for scrypt mining that costs 1100$ each for 1300 Khash We have buyers who will pay 950$ for each 50Ghash Butterfly and 380$ for block erupter. So we expand our operations regardless of any investment. We cannot guarantee anything beyond 1 year of mining, because BTC difficulty is unpredictable, its price too and Scrypt coins depend on BTC heavily. But it is in our interest to make this business profitable to profit from it ourselves, otherwise it would have been pointless.
Your current hardware you have is rather inefficient, it draws relatively large amount of watts in relation to it's produced GH/Mh, what usd/kwh electricity cost do you have.

I get the scryptmining you menton to be a loss for you at 0,13usd/kwh or higher at the moment you would probably be better off selling off those GPU's and get something more energyefficient maby some amd cards at around 3kh/w or nvdia's latest 750 TI with maxwell cores at 300kh/s 38.5w or even gridseeds scryptasics for 160usd(in quantitys of 200-1000 units)/350kh/s 7w

Those 260 gh/s sha256 miners still produce something but at 5w/GH there remaning productive lifetime if you pay anything for power will be rather short, i think you would be better off selling those for the prices you mentioned and at least get a KnCminer at 500+ GH instead, those really shouldent cost to much now(with 5995USD CoinTerra TerraMiner IV 1700GH(?) started to be delivered now and KnC's 9995USD 3000 GH machines coming soon), they were 5000-7000 usd back in oct/nov when they produced way more bitcoins than they do now.

As for the butterflylabs monarch(wasen't the monarchs originally inteneded to start beeing delivered in december ?), that company hasen't exactly been known for delivering in time, so one can only hope you get that one when they promised you to deliver it.

Don't know if this is another hack or just blatant acknowledgement that AltSwap was a scam on Cryptostocks:

Quote
[ALTSWAP] Altswap will be delisted tomorrow!
Hi investors,

Altswap shares will be delisted tomorrow. I'm sorry for your loss but we had a huge electricity bill for our servers this month and we spent the rest for alcohol and whores.

Faithfully

If such things is posted by Altswap/Firemine's? projects it dosen't exactly increase confidence in how Altswap/Firemine or Cryptostocks is handling things whoever is behind it.

Remember that something that sounds too good to be true, usually is.

There have been instances where pre-paid cards and vouchers have been sold by criminals engaged in black mailing and other criminal activities, and once you touch that card or voucher, your ip is logged, and if the case is big enough - you will have police at your door, and they confiscate equipment without asking you. This has happened. So stay safe, stay away. And if you chose to interact, do it with an ip that's not your own - and hide your tracks.

After some research it might seem like bestxchanger is legit, but be careful. Who gives money away online for free?
250 NOK what could that be, something like 42 usd, i think the risk that whoever uses the voucher will be on anyones top list of priority is very small. I have no ide how ucash works but i guess someone can just buy something digital behind a proxychain if there the least worried that there might be a small chance something is wrong with the vouchers origin.

Maby you have seen free fauctes giveaways, free coin giveaways for new altcoins, free money/btc to gamble on casinos, frerolls in poker(there used to be 10 000 USD freerolls in the past on the ipoker network for example) and so on, there is many people that gives away money/btc online, usually in small amounts thou.

There has been police cases where receivers of low value prepaid cards exchanged for virtual currencies have had their homes raided and all electronic equipment confiscated. I cannot give details, but don't be naive in cases like this.

Just to give a hint: There's been cases of blackmailing of online bookies, where the perpetrators have been given ucash as payment to stop ddos-attacks. These cards are closely watched by law enforcement, and once they're used, shit hits the fan. And it does not matter if you're innocent or not. You don't need to have much fantasy to imagine what kind of stress can be caused from this. Once the criminals have exchanged the ucash vouchers for bitcoin, they've successfully laundered their ucash vouchers, and made it hard to follow them.

Typically they will play on the greed of the buyer: You can have this ucash voucher worth 200 USD for 150 USD worth of BTC, are you interested?

I'm not making this up. So consider yourself warned.
Your probably correct but here someone was giving those vouchers away for free if i understood it correct. It woulden't make much sence if someone first obtained such vouchers illeagally to then give them away free.

But like you say it may be possible that in some countrys people could be treated like you mention without having done anything wrong, surely in those countrys the gov. in question should learn to do there checks better before storming into normal peoples homes, the end result of such illeagal actions by the gov should end up beeing a coslty affair for them.

Foremost, I am the President/CEO of PM Poker, SA, which owns Quinto BTC.

Seeking investors for a Bitcoin business is extremely difficult, given the bad press on Bitcoin.  So it seems the most logical solution would be to seek investors from the Bitcoin community; Bitcoin holders who are already aware of the digital currency and its present value. After reading favorable articles, I elected to use Cryptostocks to seek investors for my own company, Quinto BTC.  I would note though, that none of the articles I read mentioned anything about "Bitcoin mining".

As for all these claims of hacking and losing shares, ironic that it is only the mining stocks that have these issues.  When investors are sending funds to companies on Cryptostocks, they are doing so at their own risk, especially since Cryptostocks does not verify anyone's identity.  In my opinion, this should be an integral and mandatory process for every company seeking investors on Cryptostocks.  It would add some layer of protection for the investor, and would benefit Cryptostocks as well.

Security is critical, if accounts at Cryptostocks have 2FA, then reset password also requires this level of security.  Cryptostocks, please change this policy as soon as possible.

A little due diligence can still be done, so the investor can have more confidence that their investment is being used as publicized.  We've all seen/heard of the scammers who publicize an investment in a company, only to see that "company" spend 1BTC, then earn 90BTC, then disappear.  This is why due diligence is a must.  It's tempting to try the "get rich quick" scheme when investing, but you also have to understand that there are shady people ready and waiting to take those Bitcoin from you, and will employ every technique at their disposal.  "A fool and his money...", so to speak.
 
My point is: Be wise. Take your time to research the company before investing.
 
Is their information public on WHOIS?
When they give an address, is it verifiable?
Do you pick up the phone and call?
Can they actually produce a verifiable business license? 
 
These steps may take a couple of days, but will be well worth it in the long run.
 
In closing, to everyone on Cryptostocks:  If it sounds like a "get rich quick" type of posting, step back, take a moment and ask yourself: Am I willing to lose what I put in?  If yes, then proceed with caution.  If no, do your due diligence.
 
Sincerely,
Steven Swanson, 
President/CEO
Quinto BTC
So how come that you don't live by your own principles then, your stock have been listed on Cryptostocks for 23 days and Quinto/you still have "none" as verification level. You did write the same thing about the verification the 24 feb in an announcement on your share on Cryptostocks so when will Quinto/you have "Advanced" verification on Cryptostocks ?

No bank will loan you 90% Value on a property try more like 65-70% they want you to have "skin" in the game
Here they will, all banks here will loan you 90-95% of the value of your property, but it may work different in your country.

Hai guys. I want to make you a special offer which is totally serious.

For a while I have been scheeming on how to leverage my landlocked assets into crypto and I have finally come up with something.

Here is how it works. I will take ANY loan for ANY amount of bitcoins you care to offer me.

1. Collateral
Collateral will be in the form of real estate or direct ownership of investments in real estate leveraged 1 to 10 on a 3rd party evaluation, meaning if I have a $500,000 property I will use it to back $50,000 of loan debt....
Wouldn't it be a whole lot easier that you just go to your local bank and there took out a loan with your house(s) as Collateral, it shouldn't be any problem to get up to 90-95% of the value(450 000+ usd instead of just 50 000 usd per 500 000$ value on the house) of the house on a loan at 1% yearly interest then and you wouldn't have any extra risk introduced by market fluctuations on USD/BTC price changes. ?

Tjena!

Jag funderar på att bygga en scryptmaskin med 4st R9280X

Är det någon här som kan ge mig lite tips på vad för övrig hårdvara man ska ha?

Det finns väldigt mycket skrivet om att bygga GPU baserade miners för scyptmining i den engelska sektionen av bitcointalk sen är ju frågan on du också vill mina något coin avsett enbart för CPUmining med processorn, annars kan ju CPU'n vara en enklare variant.

Du bör dock se till att skaffa ett bra strömaggregat och inte ligga på för hög belastning på det utan försöka dimensionera aggregatet efter din riggs totala förbrukning så att du ligger i det område där strömaggregatet är som effektivast, både för att minska risken för att det havererar men också för att du kommer tjäna många SEK sett över en längre tid på att ha ett effektivare aggregat på 92-95% till exempel jämfört med att ha ett som endast har en nyttoeffekt på kanske 80-85% om du betalar för ström och inte har tillgång till gratis ström.

I dagsläget ser det annars ut som att Nvidias nya grafikkort baserat på maxwell kärnan kommer gå om AMD's vad det gäller vad som är effektivaste GPU'n för scryptmining, deras low end 750 TI som de släppt nu för 139 usd presterar visst runt 300kh/s och använder endast 38.5 watt(TDP 60 watt men det gör den inte av med).
Men det absolut hetaste nu är nog de scrypt ASIC chips som gridseed har börjat leverera, usb modellen-1 chip, 70kh/s & 1,5w är nog lite överprissatt, men 5chips varianten för 160 usd styck i kvantiteter 200-1000 st med prestanda runt 300-350kh/s (möjligen ända upp till runt 500kh/s injusterat med bättre firmware i framtiden) och 7W skall nog vara det som idag är tillgängligt som ekonomiskt kommer fungera längst in i framtiden för att mina scrypt med.
