People usually choose cloud mining because they don't rent miners because most of them is overpriced and most of the times you will get less than what you invested.


It depends on whose miner you rent. Nicehash and Miningrigrentals are good site to rent miners. They usually lease miners just below the profit or equal to it but most times, higher than what you can get.

You probably will get profit if you choose a 0-1% fee pool. ROI will be quicker than you buy hashrate from companies because the period and the rate will be shorter.

You should check every factors carefully before you start investing. It is better to rent a miner from one of the members here than using sites such as Nicehash and Miningrigrentals because of the fee.


Nope. Renting others miners which is for lease.


Indeed it is but people(incl. me) usually use "cloud mining" if it is provided by companies. Eg:- Cex.io*, BIT-X, Hashnest and KncCloud. If I rent and/or lease, most of them don't say "cloud mining", they say "I am remting" and/or "I am leasing" and it isn't wrong at all unless they say "it isn't cloud mining".

* Cex.io stopped their "cloud mining" service but it is still open for trading.

Only forex trader I like which has Bitcoin is "plus500(aka +500)". Unfortunately, they don't offer Bitcoin deposits probably because of the problem "source of the money" and withdrawals probably because of legal problems such as Tax.

Yup, that's the one I was talking about. Forgot to mention that 25BTC isn't permanent. Reward is halved every 210,000 blocks. Current block count is 351,113, so when block count reaches 420,000, reward will be halved, i.e. miner will only get 12.5BTC. 68,887 more blocks to go for the decrement of the reward. Assumimg blocks are minted roughly every 15-30 minutes, it will take about 717.6 to 1,435.1 days. This may not be accurate and maybe completely wrong, so don't rely on this completely.

Help can be expected anytime.

Definitely? What if the private key was lost? What if the owner is no more? What if owner can not access it anymore? Many Bitcoins have lost especially the ones in Bitcoin blackhole.*

* Bitcoin blackhole are addresses which don't have private key. "Blockhole" obviously is named by us.

A tutorial isn't needed but a warning like this may suffice: "Signing with a Bitcoin address in an affected computer may result in theft of your Bitcoins. Only sign in a secure trusted pc. Never sign in a public pc unless you know what you are doing".

Edit: BTW, Thank you, shorena for keeping this upto date! If you have time, it will be good to add Bither. I maybe able to help you tonight but atm, it isn't possible because of the heavy rain.

You are mistaken, my friend! You are talking about "Coinbase" company, I am talking about Coinbase transaction. The first transaction in a block. From "coinbase" miner get 25 newly minted Bitcoins.

He has put a neutral feedback in my account but I have no problem in it. I respect his action/decision on it. Although, it was never my intention, I will have to accept his feedback.

I don't know about your case, so I can't comment on it and also, this isn't the right thread to discuss it. On a side note, I find Quickseller's feedback as appropriate. I haven't find him leaving feedback without a reason. I think you should contact him to know "why". If you still didn't get a good reply, post in Meta. Remember,  if you are really an alt of tacoman and Quickseller is able to prove it, more negative feedback will come.

Edit:


What shorena said is correct but I think creating a new thread will do nothing because many came and went down but it is worth a try.


It isn't enforceable but I am pretty sure it will reduce account sales.

Well, it is good but sometimes it shouldn't be. Scammers tend to clear the account most probably to make another scam and the the threads and/or posts will be deleted which makes it hard to know which was his previous account was. If we make a rule such as "posts and/or threads of scammers won't be deleted", it may become another problem. There are scammers who want to start fresh too. Unfortunately, current system won't allow these things unless you come with a new account, new address and new IP. Never and ever send from/to old address which you used to scam. This will help you to start fresh.


IMHO no. An account is banned if majority of the posts are spam. There maybe a small amount of posts which are helpful.


Shouldn't be IMHO. One of the reason is in the reply to emrebey's post.


All low value/spam posts will be deleted, anyway. I don't think there is a need to delete other posts.

There is no easy way to check threads made by a user. You will have to go to the link posted by redsn0w and click the posts and see if it was a post or thread made by him.

However, if you don't want an accurate result, you can avoid all posts which contains "Re:" in subject/title because it mostly appears when we reply to a thread. So all the other posts will most probably be threads created by the user.

Grand_Voyageur made post in Meta to tell about the ban evasion.

See how you do. I replied to all this earlier. You read it? Why copy-paste? Why not reply to my replies? Because of these type of action, I couldn't help you. Better reply this time forth than copy-pasting(aka bumping).

Thank you! I am removing your annoying font size and colors for easy reading. I kindly request you to not do copy-pastings.


Both wrong. I only send a message after you made the scam accusation. I heard about him first when anti-vod threads popped out.


I understand why you are accusing but it is pure misunderstanding.


-1: I didn't have access to FuckIdolPlus' account. I told him to give the account to me or a trusted person and he replied in publicly but in PM he told he can't give password but he can show the account via TeamViewer.
-2: The answer is given in above answer and also I never received a PM from FuckIdolPlus regarding password of his account or TeamViewer password.
-3: Oops. Sorry about that. I wrote "false accusation" when you lied but before writing I asked you whether this accusation was for "evasion" or for not receiving the keys. Thanks to Quickseller for answering doubt of mine which is why I am changing the feedback.


I had no intention to protect her, never. As I have mentioned above, Quickseller showed me to the image which you said I can buy for $3 per key and she agreed to it. After that, you only received 4 keys for $56. You are owed 19 keys if the rate was $3 per key. When I asked FuckIdolPlus, he told the rate was $14 per key and as a result, he got 4 keys which he paid for. So I asked you what was the rate you both agreed to. If it was $3 per key, I will try to message FuckIdolPlus but if it was $14 per key, I probably will leave that matter.


It's good. I recommend you to delete the whole trust-spam and put a negative feedback with a detailed explanation and you can put link to this thread as reference.


That is ban evasion. You ought to be careful. This account may get banned and also the ban period of symantec may extend.

Don't believe everything you see on Blockchain.info. Their details sometimes are wrong though not all.


You can find the size of a transaction by decoding tx or after you rely it, you can see size on blockchain explorer. Most wallets calculate tx fees accurately and they set 0.0001BTC/1000 bytes unless you change it or chose low or manual fee. If the fee is low than recommended, most wallets warn you anyway.


Some transactions are more than 1000 bytes and it will have more than 0.0001BTC as fee. Some transactions even have zero fee. Miner who find the block get 25BTC from coinbase which is newly minted coins and the transaction fees will be also taken by the miner. So if there is 100,000 transactions each with 0.0001BTC fee, the miner will get 60BTC. If it is a pool who get it, they will take the fee from it and distribute it to the miners who mine on their pool.

Note: Only the miner or pool who find the block gets reward, others will get 0BTC.


I don't think so. How can the use of Blockchain.info wallets increase transactions? It would have been better if you say "increase of the use of Bitcoins increased the number of transactions". Besides, the transactions you see aren't fully from Blockchain.info wallets AFAIK. They may have a different chart for that.

I caused it. Those two lines were meant to be different but because of "and", you may saw a connection between those two lines. Why I said I, Marco and few other would be banned because there was threads in Meta saying the account was hacked after we sold it. So when geforcelovor said "if you got caught selling hacked or scammed account...", we may have got a ban.


No, I didn't scammed anyone and no, I am not alt of FuckIdolPlus. I wasn't trying to protect her either. I posted what FuckIdolPlus sent me but it all went slightly different, probably because how I talked. I think I must learn to talk English better. Why I doubted symantec was he told he didn't receive keys and he told she was avoiding. Avoiding was clearly seen but telling he didn't receive made me to doubt him a bit. However, I was trying to ask both but I didn't get answets from symantec like I though, however, FuckIdolPlus replied to my PMs. So I could only post what FuckIdolPlus said to me and symantec was just copy-pasting rather than replying. We can take to a new thread if you think I am alt or I was protecting her(maybe in scam accusation?).

Posts made by spambots are obviously spams because it is by AI and AI is never perfect or equal to humans. When it is made by normal users(humans), spam posts will be ther but there will be helpful posts too compared to a bot. I think it is hard for a admin/mod to know which is helpful. So such accounts are left untouched.

Just my 2 Satoshis.

(Usually) theymos doesn't involve in these type of things.


This is a new rule, obviously made by you or it was a mistake. "Scams aren't moderated" and also if there was a rule like that, I, Marco and few thers would have been banned long ago. I don't think this rule will ever come to existence because it is hard to know what is true and what is not.

Thanks for the post. Did she reply or avoided your messages like she avoided symantec's?


You are right. Soft-corner was the main problem in the disputes or else, what Vod done will be correct in almost all of the persons' eyes.

Thank you for the update, theymos! The hidden feature is better than ignoring boards. Is there more hidden features like this and also is it a SMF hidden feature or was it added by you? Thanks!

I suggest to use different addresses for escrowing so that you will know if the buyer/seller is the sender. Or you can use an address but don't use the address which you receive tip to.

Thank Quickseller for this suggestion. Good luck!

It's not a matter or interest or time. It's "how valuable it is to them". In real world, you may use vehicle, land, buildings and all as collateral instead of selling them. Altcoins and/or accounts are valuable to borrower which makes them use it as collateral rather than selling 'em.
