Noen som vil hjelpe en forvirra nybegynner?

Jeg er interessert i å mine altcoins men er litt usikker på hva jeg skal se i en laptop (kjøpe ny/brukt) når det gjelder å få den beste hashrate ut av pc'n til mining.

Noen som kan gi meg noen tips?

Jeg er gammel miner, jeg kan give dig et par tips.
Først må jeg spørge:
Vil du mine for at få profit? eller vil du bare lære noget omkring at mine?

Ja takk begge deler sa Ole Brumm:)
Jeg har lyst til å lære mer om å mine i hensikt for å få profit. Eneste jeg har prøvd ut er skybasert mining som jeg får profitt av, og jeg bruker MinerGate for å se hvordan pc'n klarer å prestere.
All hjelp tas imot med stor takk

Det er ikke muligt at lave profit med en laptop, det kan simpelthen ikke lade sig gøre.
Eftersom at mining er meget beregnings krævende så er der stor chance for at du skader din computer,
det kan ikke anbefales.

Der er en lille chance for at lave en lille profit hvis du bygger en mining PC, det kommer helt an på hvad prisen er på EL og så at du kan få computeren meget billige (helst gratis).

Jeg vil anbefale dig at starte med finde en ældre PC som du kan få gratis af din ven, evt. også en ældre grafik kort og så bygge en miner PC. Få den op og køre og start med at mine nogle alminde altcoins, LTC, DOGE etc.

Grunden til at jeg anbefaler dig dette, selvom om jeg ved at du med stor sikkerhed ikke kommer til at tjene noget på det, så er for at du kan lære at bygge en miner PC og danne dig nogen erfaringer. Bagefter så er du i en meget bedre position til at kunne lave en rigtig investering.
Det vigtigste er at holde alle omkostninger nede, så se om du kan bygge din første uden at investere noget eller kun investere meget lidt.

It doesn't show the exact size... but you can roughly calculate it using the standard formula:

Quote
the size of the tx will be: 180 bytes per input + 34 bytes per output + 10 bytes.

That was what I was asking and I appreciate your will you tried to help me first!  Smiley I understand the calculation you wrote is a rough calculation that provides an estimated result for the tx, but it may be different in real because Mycelium tries to optimize the transaction. Well, even an estimated result is better than having no idea so I thank you!

Mycelium starts with the oldest output and adds more until enough value for the transaction was added, then goes through the outputs and checks whether some can get removed again.

...and if you wanted to send 16, it would choose the first four ones then remove nothing because 5 + 5 + 1 + 5 is 16 exactly. I hope I understand right, thank you! I could appreciate a feature to select my output option and also information about the exact fee before transaction, though.

I can further add to the discussion that I use both core and Mycelium, but for very different purpose.
I use core when I receive payment for trading etc. in other words relative large amounts that I need to keep safe. With core am I in full control. I run it on a dedicated PC. Downsides, its slow to sync, slow to start... but it is OK, since only actually use the application once in a while to "unload" my balance to other addresses.

For everyday use do I use Mycelium, I have found it to be extremely reliable, and the "priority" system works well, if setting to highest priority then does the tx always gets calculated in such a way that I my tx gets a priority for confirming (nothing is more frustrating that having a tx stuck in a medium priority when buying something). I also have the "normal" priority if speed is not an issue. I also find the "cold storage" option really useful, my favorite storage mediums are paper wallets, Mycelium is excellent in quickly sweeping these with the phone camera. I can sincerely recommend for day-to-day use. There is some apparent security issues, but they can be mitigated by not having large sums on you Mycelium wallet, since it is so easy to sweep paper wallets, it is very easy just to sweep a paper wallet to "fill up" your Mycelium wallet when needed.

sorry, sending new PM now, missed this one, thanks! Cheesy

Thank you Sir!  Shipping in the morning.


Anybody know a decent price on an ungraded 2011 Series 1BTC Brass?  I have had inquiries but seeing crazy asking prices on confirm.org.  Anybody with a keen eye please chime in.  I'm not trying to profit on the community just get what I put in honestly.

Thanks,

B Woodson

Somewhere around 1.2(5), depending on the quality.

Did I misunderstand your post or do you seriously think that 2011 Series-1 "error" coins are sold ungraded for 1.2?
Perhaps a really beaten up could go for 1.2...  but in good shape, then have I rarely seen them below 2.5 BTC, even in this slow market.
Ungraded error coins in good shape are not easy to find.

That would be the lack of coffee talking. I just woke up and misread it for a 2013 brass 1 BTC. My bad Grin.

Ahh lack of coffee, that explain everything  Grin
I agree with the 1.2-1.25 for the ungraded 2013.

When was these coins graded? (Date)
In particular the brass coins.
Thank you.

It seems the transaction fees increased ouse to be able to send for only a two cent fee now it's 14. I am only testing 100k Satoshi. Are they cheaper fees when I send more?

The transaction fee will depend on the size of the transmission in terms of kB.
If you have many small output in your wallet, then will you fee increase.
You can set mycelium for different priorities, high priority calculates a higher fee, but will also get confirmed faster.

349  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [Auction] Casascius Silver/Gilt MS-69 - Starts @ 1BTC on: July 21, 2016, 06:45:42 AM
Ahhh, more proof that despite the auctions in BTC, the drive of value is still coming from how much fiat one has to unload to buy one.

You are not correct, sir.

You would be surprised to know that many do not buy BTC for fiat in order to purchase Casascius, they simply use the BTC they already hold.

If you want to present "proof", then do your homework, instead of basing a conclusion of one sample.
I can also present "proof", E.g. I have in the past bough a Casascius Goldie (ungraded coin) for ~2.5 BTC, I have done it both when BTC was 500 USD and when BTC was at 285 USD. Using the later sample as "proof", that's 712 USD or 1.07 BTC in today's rates, please show where I can buy a goldie for 1.07 BTC? We can also do the calculation premium wise (which is properly more fair), then would the premium have been 1.5 or 427 USD. In today's rate then would that have been 0.6 BTC (plus the 1 BTC), 1.6 BTC in total.

I agree that there is some correlation with USD exchange rate and Casascius, but it is much less dominant than you imply. The most dominant factor is supply and demand.

Most of us around here recognize and have seen for ourselves that grading is worthless.  I've seen enough coins and we have people who admit that they crack and regrade coins from the same grader to get higher grades so why pay more for them?  Some people like slabs.  And I guess the 70 grades are rare enough that it has got some bragging rights.  But you won't get much more for the effort these days.
  
You should auction one of your brass coins to see what happens.  Set a starting bid you are comfortable with.

I know that you feel very strong about grading and consider it worthless - I respect your opinion, but saying that "most of us" recognize and have seen that grading is worthless is not fair, not all of us is against grading. Actually most coins traded here are graded so that would imply that "most of us" give grading a value, so please respect that as well.

When that is said, you are correct that ANACS introduced a protocol for crypto coin grading in the beginning of the year which basically shifted the scale 1-2 grades up. I had a lot of graded coins in my hand over the last couple of years and I believe that coins graded in 2016 is reasonable consistent - in any case more consist than coins graded before 2016. Obviously ANACS is not running a charity organization and they want to make a profit - it is not a coincidence that the scale was shifted up and not down, since all coins prior to 2016 are now a candidate for regrading. Bottom line, grading (if reasonable consist) gives a value since it is a quick way to determine the overall quality of a coin.

Properly no need to mention; grades should never stand alone, they are just one of the parameters that a buyers should consider, always use high res pictures to evaluate the quality of the coin.

I'm just seeing what the interest level and prices offered for these coins are. They are ungraded as of yet but I'm willing to get them graded if there is an appreciable difference in pricing. Of course, I will provide pics and verification for anyone interested. They are in very good condition. The 10BTC  silver without the gold BTC has remained in the airtight capsule and never been fingered.  

The 2011 1 BTC error coin is pretty sensitive to grading, there is a big difference in premium depending on the grade, for the lower grades then is there none-to-little gain.
The 2012 10 BTC (I believe it is a typo that you wrote 2011 for this one), is not too sensitive to grading, its more a matter of finding the right buyer.  

As already pointed out, you need to get some pics up if you want some serious offers.

As much as I possibly can  --snip

If you literally mean this, then should you put them up for auction.

Why Rhodium? Is it going to moon like gold eventually?

Didn't think there were Rhodium bullion, but interesting.

Is it a rare metal like Platinum or Palladium?

If we don't consider any radioactive metals, then is Rhodium one of the most rare metal (in terms of weight) to be found in the earths crust, Rhodium is much more rare than gold.

One of the things that gives gold value is that it have some interesting chemical properties and is considered beautiful to look at by many people. So beside being "beautiful" and rare then is it also useful.

I am not sure about what applications there is for Rhodium...



http://www.rsc.org/periodic-table/element/45/rhodium

"Uses:
The major use of rhodium is in catalytic converters for cars (80%). It reduces nitrogen oxides in exhaust gases.

Rhodium is also used as catalysts in the chemical industry, for making nitric acid, acetic acid and hydrogenation reactions.

It is used to coat optic fibres and optical mirrors, and for crucibles, thermocouple elements and headlight reflectors. It is used as an electrical contact material as it has a low electrical resistance and is highly resistant to corrosion"

....and now you know Cheesy

Rhodium seams very useful:
BUY BUY BUY!!

Bump, Had a buyer offering 2.3BTc but he has disappeared. Open to new offers.


I didnt disappear. You disappeared. Although you are the seller and should find an escrow person, you asked me to. So I found two people to do escrow, but you refused. I told you I was going on vacation without internet for 8 days. I just happened to have a local hotspot at this moment. But please don't tell lies on this thread.

I may be mistaken, but usually it is up to the buyer on what escrow to use and set it up.

Regardless - OP, did you refuse windjc's choice of escrow, and if so, why?



As a seller I have always found the escrow person. Why would it be up to the buyer? If so, I've been doing a service for buyers for years. Smiley

The choice of escrow should always be a mutual agreement.

I think it is OK for the seller to list/announce 1-3 possible escrows, then can the buyers evaluate if he can agree to one of the escrows suggested by the seller.

No need to mention, but for a sale of this size should the escrow be one of the trusted members - and not some random guy who believe that selling a few MS keys and trading accounts worth $3 qualify him to act as escrow...

Will there be a brass version of the Super BTC coin? You had a normal doge, a silver doge and a gold doge coin. Now we have the silver BTC and plans for a gold BTC so we are missing a brass version Cheesy

Have you missed one of these?



https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1555345.msg15616180#msg15616180

Of course I didn't Cheesy. The doge coins all had similar designs with slight alterations in each design. I was wondering if they have plans to do the same with the Super BTC. I like the idea of have several lines of coins.

They have made the lines very logical:

10K DOGE, nickle alloy, population: ~500
0.01 BTC, nickle alloy, population: ~500

100K DOGE, 1 ozt .999 silver, population: 25
0.1 BTC, 1 ozt .999 silver, population: 25
 
1000K DOGE, 1/2 ozt .999 gold, poplulation: 10
1 BTC, 1/2 ozt .999 gold, poplulation: 10 (planned)

Congrats to the winner. Hopefully there will be another giveaway similar to this again.
i hope too, this was the greatest giveaway. Maybe there will be same giveaway, we just have to wait 4 years Grin

Yeah, probably another four years. Hopefully there is something like "Pizza day raffle [Free]" or "Bitcointalk Anniversary Contest [Free]". Just some wishes ...

You are a hero member of this community. Why don't you organize a raffle on one of these key days? Wink

Happy with your 1/2oz decision. Face value? 0.5BTC?

It's 1BTC if I'm not mistaken.

Yes!
