Anyone think alt-coins will go up in value before recent drop? I made like 20-25$ day in december and now its down to 14$?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And h20 really need to do something about user 1M3jtksp1upR33SX1VzeCfH5x9fc6zKykR with hashrate of 639 Mh/s (mining with ASIC)
23 Mh/s increase in less than 24 hours. This is worrying especially if he's making a second "mining plant" with another 600 Mh/s. That means he is going to take 10% OF TOTAL POOL VALUE.
With that hashrate he can go and solo-mine instead on a low difficulty alt-coin.
What actually is wrong with 1M3jtksp1upR33SX1VzeCfH5x9fc6zKykR??? Explain to me why having him on the pool is a bad thing? bad for the users (limits hash power to mining high volume low profit coins), good for the operator (what does he care if the pool reverts to a lower margin coin, i bet coin choice effects his cut nearly insignificantly--and makes trading decisions way more simple) |

if this was organized farm it would mine with constant speed.
this started with 100mhs or less and growing constantly like a virus (645mhs now),
what can it be for real? possible someone adding new chip every minute?
it looks more like virus spread
yeah i don't buy the ASIC thing either my money is on this http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-01-08/yahoo-virus-converts-millions-computers-bitcoin-mining-slavesdat timing honestly, i think if i were h2o and had any indication the hashes were suspicious, i'd be talking to the FBI (frankly, before they started talking to me) |

The problem is that if you don't enforce users to use capital letters, numbers and punctuation, they will use just lowercase chars, for lazyness.
Thus, if a hacker brute-forces with lowercase chars, he will be successful on most users.
Actually, brute force attacks works very well with dictionaries, so the real benefit would be not allowing common words, instead of enforcing capitals or numbers.
I have experience of this because I did security audits on unix machines back in the nineties: you could easily find most passwords by using a dictionary + some numbers and mixed caps.
I don't agree with the enforce of punctuation and uppercase for two reasons: 1) most (new) keyboard don't have the CAPS LIGHT, so you don't know if you are in uppercase or not, you have no idea how many customers bitches about the uppercase thing with the wireless keyboards, because they type it wrong several times and the passwords gets disabled, all because those keyboards don't have the caps light. 2) punctuation: about 70% of every computer i work on, have the keyboard language mapping wrong, so punctuation are everywhere except where you expect it, so, it is impossible (unless you remember the position of the punctuation keys) to type a password like that if you can't see what are you typing because the mapping does not match the real keyboard. I think is better to use only lowercase letters and numbers, and a dictionary check, if the password is found in the dictionary, it will force you to choose another one. agreed, i'm about to sign up to hashcows for testing and these password requirements are cumbersome about 85% of the computers i use are 23 year old radio shack types and a variety of letters can be quite sticky not to mention letters can be used to form words that some people find offensive i say make required passwords be a 3 digit pin (no duplicate digits! i might hit the key twice on accident!) and leave it at that |

it's simple
if you believe you'll get better results with some other mining scheme, use it
if you find the performance acceptable, point hashes at middlecoin and mine away
bickering on a forum about shit that cannot be proven--and has zero influence on results--is useless noise
if h2o's motivation to work on the pool hasn't been eaten away by you fucking retards, it surely will be

not to interupt the witch-hunt talk
but was middlecoin affected by the doge fork?
hard to find details, but it looks there was a fork which some pools are/were mining and 1.4 has checkpoints to fix it

i don't get why folks--who claim to have nothing invested--argue with passion about how the share price should be going a certain way
it can't be just so they can feel smug when eventually the trend turns, can it?

I haven't checked to see if this was discussed before or if it's not unusual, but..
are lending interest rates on the site subject to manipulation? I noticed they dropped pretty rapidly the past few days, and was wondering if this could be manipulated by posting orders below the FRR, filling them, and then quickly cancelling them.
I'm hoping the way the FRR is calculated is smarter than that, but I figured I would ask.

so what's with the orderbooks for the passthroughs on havelock?
looks like someone is posting bids/asks within 10 satoshis of each other, pretty odd

I am impressed by the hasrates you all seem to get. None of my R9280Xs go higher than 710 (and they get very hot, above 90 all of them and as a result the speed is sometimes reduced as low as 550).
I guess it is basically a heat problem... But it would be nice to be able to get 750 out of every card, it would mor eor less an extra card for me.
i'm not suggesting it, but i just got an MSI 280x which hit 90 degrees very quick before any overclocking so i said fuck it and took off the heatsink (breaking the warranty sticker) and my god was that thing poorly seated. giant gobs of thermal paste, very poorly spread. carefully put a thin coat of arctic silver and replaced the heat sink, now it runs around 710Kh/s at 70 degrees i also have a powercolor card that runs at about 740kh/s without overheating, but curiosity got the best of me so i checked that one and it's thermal paste was as expected (only improved temp by a few degrees) |

are we sure volume isn't decreasing because of the holidays?
people spending time with their friends and families and junk
i'm sure volume will blow up once everyone gets back into work after new years, and fresh faces decide to hop on cousin charlie's super investment that made him 30 years closer to retirement over the last year

So where's the chart that predicted the Chinese selloff or the silk road closing or the Cyprus event? I have a hard time believing these charts are more than a complete waste of otherwise quality brain power
i'm looking longer term. all those events are very minor, economically speaking. for example, the silk road publicity probably attracted more attention and will benefit btc more than the short term panic and price drop it caused. that's kind of what i mean i don't know of a chart that could have predicted the immediate sell-off and moonshot rally that followed and if there was one, i want to meet whoever created it i don't mean to discourage you, i'm sure there are lots of successful traders who follow charts now that i think about it, i'm not a successful trader, so maybe i should start |

bitfunder very publicly shut down
if friedcat continued paying to it's addresses, wouldn't that be criminal (or at least sue-worthy)?
just trying to understand the idea that he's doing something other than making a generally responsible move by withholding dividends
|
|

how does the increasing BTC price relate to the ability to pay out dividends (where a promise was made priced in BTC)?
for example, if there's a big jump in price before--and stagnant market for many months after--NEO is open for business, would that make profitability in BTC terms more challenging?
|

Some are saying the ultimate crash, but wouldn't it be more like the silk road closing? A few panic sellers in the first hour, and then the realization that the last bit of counter-party risk (satoshi's coins) would be removed from the market? I don't see that slowing down the S curve, more like the opposite.

Danny, could you please create a new locked thread for official announcements only..
Bitcointalk.org is not an official platform for company news (this is a habit we'll all have to break eventually, not just Neo). Official announcements are made to shareholders first via each exchange's announcement features. Additionally, the most recent announcement specifies that an official investor relation website is under production. Probably being painfully obvious here, but twitter + a blog (wordpress?) are a powerful way to ensure communication is universal and available. |

can i just point out: when the max profit was less than 100BTC site profit consistently went up over a period of days, and now that it's over 100BTC site profit has swung wildly is now ultimately thousands of coins down over a period of hours (again)
i'm sure you probably-math people will have something that sounds alot like furrrmp durrrrmp vrrrrance to say but uh, results are real
|
|
|
|
|
correct me if i'm wrong, but the max bet was below 100btc and immediately the site is wildly profitable
the max bet is above 100btc and immediately started bleeding thousands of coins (again)
buhht erts jerts vurrance!!
