The profit from CPU mining is so small, it is not worth the troubles you can get in
44  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Crypto Strategies? on: December 27, 2013, 09:41:21 AM
Alternatively, you can just buy 1GH for about $11 for 1 year from butterflylabs.com no idea when they will start mining for you, but it's another low-cost option and they take USD

LOL, because the difficulty is still rising, time when this 1 year mining starts is very important

Does this mean digital currencies only serve the black market?

No, Bitcoin is about freedom. If goverment ban decentralized digital currencies, it just shows what they think about freedom

I think the price will be higher than 1000. Most likely after Christmas. Mining complexity increases, Bitcoin will grow in value.

Yes definitively long time value of Bitcoin rises given how much dollars invested in ASIC miners
47  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Your first reaction to the concept of Bitcoin? on: December 16, 2013, 10:58:07 PM
I feelt like I was unfortunate to discovering Bitcoin so late after I read about the main features
48  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Would appreciate feedback on my bot concept on: December 16, 2013, 10:48:46 PM
- Let the bot trade any currency for you automatically (buy low when uptrends start, sell high when downtrends start)

I dont know how much experience you have with trading, but making profitable bot is not easy
49  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will it hit $1000 again? on: December 16, 2013, 10:44:33 PM
It might. It might even rise significantly higher. Although I expect the long term target to be about $400.

If you mean long term target many years, it would mean today value should not be higher than $200, which would fit graph data. But Im more bullish of the future price given the recent positive news

Is this a similar discussion to how the adult industry helped bring about many popular (and now not so popular) technologies?

http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/5052/is-the-pornography-industry-important-in-the-adoption-of-new-technology-or-media

Ie, print, vhs, dvd, etc.

OMG ban DVDS and VHS and cash!  Grin

It will be interesting to see what would happen to the value of another altcoin if Silk Road or some other black market site started accepting them.

Closure of these black market sites does not affect coin price, look at SR or Atlantis examples

Bitcoin is slow. Faster wins

Bitcoin is almost instant, if the amount is bigger, wait for 1st confirmation. Faster is only centralized payment where you might get confirmation instantly (but can be removed anytime later)
52  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC hit $10.000 in Q1 of 2014 ? on: December 09, 2013, 10:14:08 AM
No way so soon. Maybe at end of 2014, but I doubt this as well.
53  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin again reaching 1000$ latest news from 4dbitcoin on: December 09, 2013, 10:06:26 AM
somebody is getting richer &richer

No only those panic selling got hurt by lossing both Bitcoin and USD.

$10000    - 2015   Smiley
$100000   - 2016  Grin
$1000000 - 2017   Shocked


The 2016 and 2017   figures are way off, but Bitcoin price depend on popularity and useability only

Call me a dummy if you like. I missed out on this one. I have seen two references today to "hobonickels". What the hell are hobonickels. Google didn't help any, it just wanted to talk about old coins. thanks.



Isnt it just some already dead alternative coin  Huh
56  Economy / Speculation / Re: When are you going to cash out? on: December 06, 2013, 12:01:44 AM
I will sell over half of my coins when I buy something expensive, like car with my BTC. So far only spend for some cheap electronic and rebought BTC later at dips
57  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which coin I should mine with just an old laptop? on: December 05, 2013, 11:56:56 PM
Would not recommend mining on a laptop, but if anything I'd say mining primecoins would be your best bet?

I have not heard of a case where a laptop CPU has been overheated in years. The recent Intel CPU's tend to be very reliable. I have had some fun with mine for months, and nothing bad has happened so far.

I have to agree, the laptop motherboard is much likely to be damaged by heat, especially when you mine in summer

Distributing money equally at start to all seems like utopian socialist idea

Quote
Transaction fees only get minner who found the block, just running Bitcoin-qt does not count, you must actively mine with GPU or ASIC with programs like cgminer

My understanding was that the miners would get BTC in exchange of mining, and that in the end, the server operators who make sure the flow of queries/validation would get a reward for the CPU, storage, bandwidth and energy the put into the system to serve the community (all those ressorurces do cost real hard won money)...

Did I miss something?


Only minners get block reward + fees with their dedicated ASIC hardware (GPU possible too)
If you dont mine, you run Bitcoin-qt just to have most recent blockchain and help others to have most recent blockchain, no rewards for this

Transaction fee is 0.0001 BTC per 1000 Byes of data. Will be probably lowered again next year (depending on BTC price)

Who decides the amount? and when to change? is there a bitcoin governance (a central governor of the central bitcoin bank who sets the interests rates etc??) ;-)? What happens if two bitcoind aren't in version sync (one with the old cost, one with the new) or if someone decides to recompile with a different algorithm to compute the fee?


Miners deciding the rules, most miners use Bitcoin-qt so they agree to Bitcoin-qt fee rules.
But there is no central authority, miners decide

If some miner running older bitcoind version with 0.0005 minimum fees, he will only create block with transactions consisting of 0.0005+ fees if he happens to find the block
