3983  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Most will never make a profit mining if BTC stays under $650 for long on: August 14, 2014, 08:44:57 PM
I think the whole concept of "Coins Invested - Coins Mined = ROI or Loss" that the other posters were trying to allude to, went over the OP's head.

Anytime you mention the fiat price or dollar value of Bitcoin, either investing, trading, or mining, you're doing it all wrong.  Fact of the matter is, for the $10k investment a couple months ago you could've had 17 Bitcoins already.  Using http://retrocalc.net/ and let's say conservatively 5TH/s(converting the Scrypt to equivalent power) shows you'd probably mined 9-10 BTC or so not figuring in variance.  Break even shows never based on https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/calculator.

Basically, for someone that has 20 years + experience in the risk/trading field, it doesn't look like you did the necessary legwork calculating the risks with Bitcoin mining.  Doesn't look like you factored in the high difficulty we're now, considered variance, use the right Bitcoin calculators, possibly invested in the wrong inefficient asics etc.

Only hope to recoup some of your losses, is to sell your equipment on eBay or here in the Hardware / Computer Hardware subforum for BTC's.

Good luck, either way.

OK buddy, you keep doing it your way and we do it ours (as we trade another 1000+ futures contracts today...). Some miners think they have it figured all out... good luck with that too.
PS And you really think that RetroCalc tell you what one 'actually' makes/made...hahaha. You just disqualified yourself totally. That's like guys who approach us on a daily basis with their
trading systems which have only been paper traded, not with an actual account. We do not even look at those.

Must've touched a nerve with you, if you're getting so defensive.  Guess the truth hurts sometimes. ...

Also, $10k isn't such a big investment for such an alpha 20 year big timer like yourself.  Step it up big papa!   Tongue

Absofrigginlutely worst time to start mining.

Basically if Bitcoin's fiat price is low, just buy the coins.

If Bitcoin's fiat price is high in value($700-$800 let's say), then mine.

Pretty simple.
3986  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Latest miners? What are you using? What's good? What to stay away from? on: August 14, 2014, 05:59:53 PM
If you're a home miner, don't buy anything until mid to late Fall or early Winter.  That way the electrical and cooling costs that's eating away at any chance at ROI during the warm months will be replaced with heating from the miners.

So, not only does it heat up your house during the cold months you get BTC's out of it!   Cool
3987  Economy / Speculation / Re: Who can tell me what going on with the price? on: August 13, 2014, 02:08:21 PM
Buying opportunity??? Huh  I kid, but not really.  Get in on the dip!

Most likely FUD news as usual:

http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-mh-bitcoins-wild-west-20140812-column.html

http://blogs.wsj.com/totalreturn/2014/08/12/five-questions-about-the-bitcoin-crackdown/

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/08/11/consumer-bureau-now-taking-and-expecting-bitcoin-complaints/

Too risky, need regulation, Bitcoin is the wild wild west Yada Yada.  Same song and dance.

Bitcoin always plummets on bad or critical news, slight increase or stabilizes or consolidates on positive news, and goes to the moon on no news it seems.

So like I said, BUY BUY BUY!   Cool
3988  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Wife is pregnant, how to incorporate bitcoin into the process? on: August 13, 2014, 01:59:34 PM
Learned that my wife is pregnant yesterday. This will be our first child. So how do I incorporate bitcoin into the process? I have bitcoins to spend.

Anyone got any clever ideas? This has potential.



Congrats man!  My wife too, has a bun in the oven, and is our first child also.   Cheesy

As for clever ideas, I like the idea of a physical Bitcoin with private key to commemorate your firstborn.  He/she can exercise or use it when they're much older.  Maybe put 1BTC on it.

Good luck to us both!   Grin
3989  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why don't people under ISIS rule buy bitcoin? on: August 13, 2014, 01:37:45 PM
People under ISIS rule are too busy avoiding getting slaughtered, trying to find haven in a war torn region, and basically living on necessities like food and water.

I don't think Cryptocurrencies are at the top of their mind.
3990  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Republicans Vs Democrats: Who is more likely to embrace bitcoin more? on: August 13, 2014, 12:56:41 PM
None of the above, go against the US Dollar, why would they commit political suicide!   Cool

If any political party is to embrace Bitcoin, it'd be the Libertarian Party:

Updated to new profile signature, just testing to see how it looks.

Edit: Had to paste the code a couple times to make sure lower sig border was full length matching top border

You mean you had to copy it couple times?
I can't see how it is possible to fail pasting it.

Somehow copying from your quote failed to show proper formatting, so I went and copy/pasted from Brewins post a page back and that seemed to work.

Not sure why yours would be different, but oh well.

That is weird :O
I just copied it from page 510.

Lets test, I copied this from my post:

It works right?
Weir it didn't work for you...

Yea, it was showing half the bottom bar, but I just tested it again and it's full bottom bar now copy/pasting with your quote.

Guess, I'm just an idiot.   Cry

3994  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Black Arrow - Status of pending orders - Prospero X-1, X-3, and Minion on: August 08, 2014, 03:17:28 PM
I got a full refund from minersource about a week ago. No problems at all.
I have had nothing problems from minersource.  I have requested a refund for my two X1's (Order 701) but was refused.  I also asked what order number they have delivered to and they won't tell me.  When did you request and receive your refund?

It's a fucking circle jerk all together.  Black Arrow can't deliver the promised product and Minersource.net is covering for them as the approved vendor.

If you have something small like 2 X1's just get MS store credit, buy new miners or sell them on eBay or here in the Computer/Goods sub-forum for BTC.

Ask for Dan Murtha.  He's the co-owner of Minersource and is usually very responsive.

Thomas Salvatore also answers support emails as well.

JJJ0923 why not get MAT online to explain themselves here? I'm sure they have answers.



why don't you? you're the one who wants answers - his email address is posted right on the website


I think deko would, but his sig doesn't have "Pointing out injustice everywhere!"
3996  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Mining Asics Technologoes - 6 THS Bitcoin Miner - First PICS! on: August 08, 2014, 02:10:27 PM
Basically jjj your homeboy Marc Coumans is lying scumbag scammer.

Whatever it is he's trying to sell off as MAT miners are really Coinbau wolfcaves rebranded.

Since you talk to him so often, you'd know this already, either that or you're in the process of getting your masters degree in the art of shilling.

Bcp19 would be so proud.... Tongue

So, still nothing...

So do you get to collect on your best if Dogie tests the sample unit, and it's over 1w per GH/s on the Kill a watt reading?

Been awhile since I've heard anything, whether yours and Jimmothy wager on Xbtec power efficiency was resolved.

Dang, thought I could explore the possibility of joining this campaign after the pay period with PD was over.

No way this list doesn't fill up to 100 before the 17th is here.   Undecided

Oh well, good luck Dice sig holders!  Hopefully all get their due amount, and A++ on the OP using escrow to hold payouts.
3999  Economy / Services / Re: [PrimeDice] [Highest Paid Signature] Earn Bitcoins Simply By Posting on: August 05, 2014, 04:21:27 PM
Updated my sig to also reflect the changes, and the upcoming PD3.

Can't wait until I make senior member, then I'll be raking in Sig campaign money.   Tongue

You should become a senior member before payday, which means you'll get paid 0.001 for all your posts of this month!

Lucky you.

I think I have to wait 2 activity jumps before Senior, since Senior member is 240 I believe.

I'm currently at 224, so 1 jump is 238, so I have another jump to wait until Senior, so not this pay period, but next.   Cool

You must read again the answers made to you. You need to wait only one jump. Every 14 days, you win 14 activity points.

What date is the next jump again?  I lost track of when the activity update period is.  I know Senior level is 240 activity, so I'm more than 1 jump away from attaining that.

The 19th of august, your activity will be 250 and you will be senior. Full Stop.

So the 19th of August is the next jump from today?  But won't it increase only 14 to 238, not 250 from now?

Excuse the dumb questions, just trying to understand.

Edit:  I see my activity finally kicked in.  It was 224, now just updated to 238 a couple minutes ago.   Grin
