It seems that I will just miss it. Was too close   Wink

yeah it moved a lot  late.  we are in the blank zone.

38043  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: What's more lucrative - mining or high rank signature campaign? on: April 19, 2015, 06:06:59 PM
I was surprised how nice a good signature campaign is.  It is a nice addition to my mining btc.   I like to do both personally. 

I would highly recommend full member and above get in one.  I wish I would have started earlier then I did.  I didn't start till hero, so waited way to long.    I like getting btc for post's I would be doing anyways.  And if you don't like btc I have done a few before for goods (2 different coin companies).  Worked out nice I have 2 pretty nice coins I would have been to cheap to buy.

yeah I have been doing this sig deals for about 1 year.  I may have grabbed a total of 7 coins at it.  Helps a lot during the slow summer months.

Not sure how this is done:
1. Do you get the html code from the site you want to advertize, or you write your own html code, then put it in the "signature" area.
2. How the payout is determined and how will they know where to send bitcoin to?
3. Are they sending to address which is indicated in account settings?
 

The new company has a website that is an exchange to trade coins.

To get paid you join the exchange they give you a btc address and auto track your posts.  they pay 1 time per week.  This is my first week with them.

They provided the signature for me to use.  I am lucky in that I always was a poster 300 was a slow month for me a year before these campaigns ever appeared. So I don't deal with spam accusations because every body knows I post a lot.
38044  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is your trading strategy? on: April 19, 2015, 05:24:06 PM
Trading with fees is gambling by definition.  ONLY THE EXCHANGE IS SURE OF BEING A WINNER.

Actually the best thing is spot mining. But it takes a lot of patience.  There are times you can get rates when renting from reliable sites better then current  payouts.

Right now I am being paid by nicehash at a 0.118 btc a th rate.  and at the same time I am renting from westhash at a 0.101 rate.

That is far better then trading.

I say we all donate 0.001 btc to the genesis block address.

And we all buy 0.019 btc from coinbase or any real exchange of btc.

total cost = 0.02 btc  most is in your pocket  and if anyone should get a 0.001 btc the founder of btc deserves it.

first tx id

first btc addy

https://blockchain.info/address/1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa

this would not cost much and could cause some price boost.


Seems like a pretty cheeky/good idea, but i dont think long term i would work. Bitcoin will shine by itself with time, without needing to do these.

Yeah but what the fuck it is interesting and after I kicked in the token 0.001 btc to satoshi 's genesis block I some how felt a little bit better about myself and BTC in general.  Plus I now have 0.019 extra btc I purchased well 0.018 After the 0.001 I gave away.

If coins go to 300 usd I made a profit.  If the crash and burn I lose under 4.75 usd.

A wise man once told me slow nickels are better then fast dollars.
38046  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Summer Mining - Fans/Other summer equipment on: April 19, 2015, 05:15:10 PM
that lowes fan has a good price  139.99

Two of them in the right spot can pull a lot of heat out of the room.

How many miners will you have ?

Yea It was a good price I got two and had 50 off 250, so was a very nice deal for the amount of CFM.

I currently have a little over 10k watts worth of gear.  I planned on going down from winter of 12k watts.  But I didn't go as far down as I thought.  

So now I'm working on getting a nice setup where I can put all in one room.  I have a 100 amp subpanal so have a decent amount of electricity just for miners. Winter was easy and had them separated but I will drain a lot of profit out of it if I used AC to cool them.

Ac is a no go.   what size room will these be in?   20 by 20 with a high ceiling?

I don't have exact dimensions.  It's above a good sized two car garage and work space.   It could park four cars if you wanted to pull them in that far.   Good height on ceiling, they made it very steep which added a lot of room in the second story.   I need to walk to get dimensions it off it's a pretty massive room.

Sounds bigger the 20 by 25 by 10  that is  5000 cubic feet so your two fans can pull  about 15000 cubic feet .  You should be okay as long as  you are 2x fan power over cubic feet.
  What state are you in?
    Ie Texas, Alabama, Arizona , New Mexico all very hot.
  New Jersey, New York not so bad.

I'm in Kansas.  It's the house on the family farm (real crops sadly not a mining farm Smiley ).  But it give me a ton of room and also 200 amps in main breaker, and 100 amps in separate subpanel not connected to main.

It's been a good thing for mining.  But I will be glad to get some rooms back once I get this done and finished on new mining area.     And it's a pretty massive area on it I really need to measure or step it off sometime.   

 Do you have decent power prices?  8 or 9 cents?

I would consider them to be decent, not a super deal.  But it's in the 9 cents by time you tack on all the fees and taxes.

 under 10 cents lets you mine above power and other costs.  thread water is a big part of the game now.  then cash on the upswing.

38048  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Power supply question 240volt 3phase power vs 1 phase on: April 19, 2015, 04:33:29 PM
I believe using 1 of the 3 phases is fine (along with a neutral and a ground), but using 2 of the 3 phases may cause bad things to happen. In a normal 2 phase configuration, the 2 hots are orientated 180 degrees from each other. But if you use 2 phases from a 3 phase line, the orientation is different, being in a 120 degree / 240 degree rotation. This causes the net difference in voltage between the 2 phases to be much lower, and I have concerns that the circuitry inside the power supply only expects a certain waveform of net voltage.

Ninja edit: After some shenanigans with wolfram, turns out the waveform of 2 phase power coming from 3 phase is exactly the same as a normal 2 phase coming from 2 phase with just different net voltages. Assuming the peak voltage of 240v 3 phase is 240v between all 3 phases, each phase is 120v. Putting 2 of the phases as hots in an ATX power supply, you have 208v @ 60hz. So what you are proposing is perfectly fine. Just make sure your PSU input looks something like 100v-264v. If its 115/230v, bad things might happen.

I'm electrically stupid. But not that stupid.

I am going back to his place in May I will report back on results.

38050  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you pay for the keys to the genesis block/address on: April 19, 2015, 04:16:39 PM
collector items are usually something you can show to others. For example, you can't really collect a secret that Einstein shared with your great grandfather and passed down to you. There's no verifiability and you can't really show it to anyone.

Pretty much the same with these addresses. I mean I guess you can "show" you have access to it by sending some bitcoins to someone's wallet from that address, but that's not really showing the item itself.

well  we could argue all day one way or the other but i do not expect Satoshi to be sending me a pm with full access to that address anytime soon. Wink

Rule changes are no pick switches.  One pick and  stick with the pick.



Pick between blocks 301 and 1000------------------- subject to revision.

the next reward deadline 2:00 AM UTC, April 26, 2015 as per suchmoon.


I have not made the blue  highlight   set yet.  but the one pick is set.

I am thinking the  wait for 300 block pick for 700blocks  increases spec post and reduces pick posts.

Feel free to spec for a while.  I think we will do new picks starting on the 300th block made .

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty   (-3.40%)  is the next prediction current price is  225 usd.

38053  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Newest Diff thread April 19th to May 1st-Closed for picks!! on: April 19, 2015, 04:06:05 PM
Please do not post a pick. For suchmoon's promo.

We are going to have a one pick no change policy as keeping track of changes is too hard.

I am setting this up  ahead of the current thread which should have a result in 2 hours or so.

Self modded  in respect to seriouscoin

Alh offered to relieve my self imposed burden of always picking -1.11% for myself  but I will keep it which is the -1.01 to -1.25% range

With no switching allowed waiting until 300 blocks are done  to make a pick seems like a good idea and cutting off around block 1000  also make sense.

So no picking from 0 to 300   blocks

picking from 301 to 1000 blocks

closed from 1000 blocks to 2016 blocks  .  

last thread was a carry over.
No winners

38055  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: What's more lucrative - mining or high rank signature campaign? on: April 19, 2015, 03:37:10 PM
  I post a lot 300 or more a month.
 I posted  a lot before signature campaigns existed.
I posted a lot on other sites.
I have done close to 6000 posts here
I have done 20,000 posts to online forums since 2006.

So if I really push I can do 750 posts per month. I won't push.

I usually do 500 posts per month on this site.

So at 0.0013 x 500 = 0.65 btc x 12 = 7.8 btc in 1 year  so say 6 to 8 btc in a year.

Now mining is a completely  different game prediction  of what I can earn is impossible in the long term.  I need to know price/diff

I can spend 10kwatts an hour in the winter.  at 10 cents a kwatt   that is 20 th

I can spend   2kwatts an hour in the summer. at 18 cents a kwatt  that is 4th

right now in the summer it is barely  worth mining

38056  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you pay for the keys to the genesis block/address on: April 19, 2015, 03:25:49 PM
i would only pay for the spendable coins plus something extra as people from time to time will donate a few bits to that address. other than that there is no real benefit in having that address.

I would love to own that address with full access  to it.  But that is for the collector in me. It is truly a one of a kind item.

I haven't mined in about a year. I now have access to entirely free electricity. Is mining worth my time, from my calculations it seems like it will take about a year or more to pay off any equipment. What would you do?

Okay you want 2 s-3's   and a good psu.

So do you have the psu ?  if you do find 2 s-3's cost should be about 200 for 2.

figure 850 gh with a freq 212 under clock.  keeps sound and power down less chance of discovery.

and this is what you get.  I used f2pool which has a 4% fee but is dead solid reliable

  I run 2 s-3's  in my friends place at 2.4 cents

Sending to the genesis block is destroying bitcoins because that block can't be spent.

The output of the transaction 4a5e1e4baab89f3a32518a88c31bc87f618f76673e2cc77ab2127b7afdeda33b (the 50 BTC coinbase transaction) cannot be spent, but the other bitcoins at 1A1zP1eP5QGefi2DMPTfTL5SLmv7DivfNa can be spent.
I can see why newly created outputs could be spent, but I doubt there is a client built for handling that transaction without using coin control.

Coin Control is available with Bitcoin Core.

Sending to the genesis block is destroying bitcoins because that block can't be spent.

The first 50 bitcoins cannot be spent, but other inputs in the address should be able to be spent, correct?
I think no one own the private of first btc addy, which has no spending record. So any one send bitcoin to this address, means they destroy the bitcoin.

The address belongs to Satoshi, besides some testing transactions he has never spent his bitcoins.


 Yep and if we can't toss him 0.001 btc each we simply should be embarassed to be in the world of BTC

which is the point of the thread if you won't buy 0.019 btc for your ownself  and donate 0.001 btc to the genesis block  to  show  support to btc and to Satoshi why bother to be on this site or have anything to do with BTC at all.

So far no one has donated other then me.  My point is the entire forum is mentally down on BTC or maybe at least those that have read the thread. 

So far 311 have read this thread.
