He MUST create a repair ticket and only send the miner when instructed, he should also send the WHOLE miner and not just the bad hash boards, and if they don't receive it within 30 days from the day THEY shipped it from china, it will not be treated as DOA, if he sends it before 30 days have past - hey can still get paid for the shipping fees in the form of a coupon, so you want to make sure to use the fastest shipping method possible and not exceed the 30 days period if you want to be compensated for the shipping fees.

When it comes to Lauda I don't even know how to describe that member, almost 2 years ago I was scammed for the first time on this forum, I was a newbie and the scammer was a Legendary member, I checked his feedback and there was only one negative feedback from Lauda, I checked Lauda's own feedback and found one or a few negative feedbacks on her profile, one negative was from a member who I highly trusted (still trust), the feedback she left wasn't really backed by any evidence of scam history, so I 'conveniently' convinced myself that Lauda's feedback was meaningless, and the next thing I knew was me getting scammed by that "Legendary" member (he showed up later with some excuses and paid me my money back, but that doesn't really matter).

When that happened to me, I decided to dig deep in this trust system, was trying to find scammers and warn others about them, I created a dozen of flags and tagged a good number of scammers, I happened to see a lot of negatives from Lauda, I would disagree to many of them, but later on, I would realize Lauda was right AGAIN in many cases.

I think of Lauda as the bad cop, like Melissa McCarthy in The Heat Movie, a cop that knows a criminal when they see them, but instead of following the protocol which in some cases fails to convict criminals and set them free, the bad cop will bunch them in the face to get confessions  .

I can write a hundred lines on how is that a good thing for the community, I can also write the same number of lines explaining the contrary, It's up to every individual to think of that as a bad or a good thing, I personally trust most of Laud's feedback, but if I agree to her way of doing things then I have to accept everyone else who does the same, and having so many bad cops in one place might cause more harm than good. with that being said, even without including Lauda in my trust-list (for the previous reason) I know I can trust most of her feedback.

I also don't think this thread will make any difference, Lauda is not a new member who needs to be evaluated, the answers to your questions can be found in her trust list on loyce's website.

I will just repeat myself again and tell you the exact same thing I told you in the Arabic board, I find no reasons to trust your exchange, and I find a dozen reasons why not.

A simple domain check tells you a lot.




You registered the domain 7 days ago, and you are so "stingy" paying only for 1 year, the website looks cheap and there are a few more reasons that I rather not share with you that suggest you are likely planning to scam.

قمت بأنشاء هدا الموقع يوم 9-3-2020 ( سبعة ايام مضت فقط) والاسواء من هدا ان الدومين صالح فقط لعامين, لا يمكن بأي حال من الاحوال ان اصدق موقع مثل هدا ولا يجب ان يثق فيك احد حتى بدولار واحد , وهده وجهة نظري الشخصية وكل شخص حر في امواله.



انا مستعد للنقاش معك بخصوص مصداقيتك 

اثفق معك بشدة, بهده الازمة ليست ازمة مالية اصلا, بل هي اسمة صحية عالمية, في الازمات المالية يلجأء الناس الى الملاذ الامن مثل الذهب, ولكن هده المرة حتى الذهب لم ينجو فلقد انخفض من اعلى قمة له هدا الشهر من 1704 دولار الى 1448 دولار للاونصة الواحدة, وهدا بمعدل انخفاض 15% , وسعره الان يتراوح في حدود 1540 حيث انه لايزال بعيد عن اعلى قمة,هده المرة لم يتوقف الذهب عن الصعود بل نزلت قيمته وهوا من غير المعتاد في الازمات المالية, ولكن بدليل ان هده الازمة اكبر من كونها ماليا فالرابح الاكبر هوا الكاش بالدرجة الاولى, والكاش يدهب جله للاساسيات الحياة من طعام وشراب وادوية و و , اتوقع انه ان لم يتم ايجاد حل سريع للفايروس فسوف ننتقل فعليا لازمة اقتصادية حقيقية.


بكل تأكيد, كل زمة تخلق اثريا جدد وفقراء جدد, الشخص الذكي هوا من يستفيد من هده الازمات, وعندما يصبح معظم الناس غير متفائلين فهده فرصة جيدة للشراء.

hmm, that would be interesting, when was the last time we actually had a 30% drop in diff?

2018-Oct to 2018-Dec

diff =7.4 droped to 5.1 > 31% drop
price = 6.5k droped to 3.2k > 49% drop

5.1 diff only lasted for one week, and then throughout the period of ranging between 3.2k and 4k the average difficulty was 5.8, and the average price for the same period was 3.6k  so that's not really a 31% but rather 21% drop in difficulty against 44% drop in price, so looks like the best we can expect is 2:1 ratio (price vs diff).

We had a drop from 10.5k to currently 5.5k or 45% if the prices stay around this level for say another month, diff will "supposedly" drop 22.5% from its hight of 16.55T, so something around 12.9T /last year end's difficulty, so maybe a 12-15% drop in 7 days and by Mid-April we hit 12.9T, that is my guess for now.

هنا يأخد الموضوع منحنى جديد كليا, الطاقة الشمسية يجب ان تعامل على انها مشروع استتمار اخر موازي لمشروع التعدين, في بعض الدول الطاقة الشمسية في حد ذاتها استتمار, بحيث انه مثلا خلال 10 سنوات تكون قد استرجعت راس مالك من الطاقة الشمسية وعندها يمكنك الاحتفاط بها وكأنك تحصلت عليها مجانأ, مما يعني انك بطريقة او باخرى قمت بأستتمار مببغ لمدة 10 سنوات, واستفدت من التعدين "مجانا" وقمت بالحصول على منظومة طاقة شمسية, في بعض الدول قد تكون فترة استرداد راس المال 20 سنة او 30 سنة وهنا يكون المبلغ كبير واحيانا غير مجدي.

الاختلاف الجوهري في مدى جدوى الطاقة الشمسية مبني بالاساس على سياسة الدولة في التعامل مع الطاقة الشمسية, بعض الدول تقوم بدفع ربع او ثلث القيمة بالنيابة عنك, بعض الدول الاخرى تقوم بأعفاءك من الضرائب بمقدار معين يتناسب مع قيمة المنظومة, بعض الدول تقم المنظومات الشمسية بتخفيض والقسط المريح, بعض الدول لا يعير الطاقة الشمسية اي اهتمام, بالعكس يضعون ضرائب عليها عند دخولها للبلد مما يجعل امتلاكها خسارة بكل المقايس.

لذلك لايوجد اجابة مطلقة وبسيطة بهدا الخصوص فألامر نسبي وكل شخص بناء على امكانيته ودولته وسياستها تجاه الطاقة النظيفة, بالنسبة لبلدي الامر مستحيل  .

Here is an update on the weekly chart



We did close BELOW the 200MA on the weekly, the weekly candle, however, has a very long wick (over third of the candle size), the candle itself suggest a reversal and shows a lot of buy pressure, the 4000-5000 area is a bull land, for now, it will be hard to go below it, the problem, however, is that now the 200MA on the weekly has become a strong resistance, the $5534 level will be extremely hard for the bulls to break.

At this point, I have no intention to take any short positions, and I will only buy if we manage to close above $5534 or if we go below $3000, in fact, I already have some long positions from $2400$ to $3000 which may never get filled anyway, but if we don't close above 200MA soon enough, I won't surprised to see those levels in the coming weeks.

Let's just say that I am trying to stay positive.  


I don't really think the halving will have any considerable effect on the price, I have already explained why in another topic.


comparing bitcoin daily volume to that 7% cut in supply over 4 years makes the halving even less important, the two previous halvings were completely different, they happened during "good times" and the overall market structure was bullish, the amount of btc reduced was a lot more in terms of % to available supply and trading volume, I can write a dozen words explaining why the 2020 halving would make little to no difference in terms of price, and given the current market situation with all the mess caused by the Coronavirus, I don't see why BTC can't stay under 4k both before and after the halving, I really hope I am wrong (I usually am  ).


I do, I have 30kw for free, I still pay rent for that place so if profit =< rent then I am screwed, but that can only happen if bitcoin price drips really really low, I think even at current diff I can still go on at BTC price of $1500, for the other gears I have elsewhere I still not have to shut down but profit will be too little to bear the headache, mining is not just about cost per kWh, there are always on-going expenses and time invested, I count those factors too and believe it or not, even at 0 cent kWh rate, some will still lose money mining, I and those who have free or supper cheap power will be the last standing in the game, but I certainly prefer higher prices and higher diff than the opposite.


This is probably because of the federal bank reducing interest rate and printing $700 billion out of thin air? but that IMO is not enough to hold the markets for long, they need to print more.

For personal reasons, I can't really use Amazon anyway, if you think you can get a legit 20% discount, you can offer purchasing services of say 10-15% discount and still make a profit, or you might as well just use purse.io and buy stuff for others and still make a profit, that just a suggestion which indeed may be a bit biased.

للاسف اخي لا يمكن باي حال من الاحوال ان تجني اي عائد من التعدين بتلك الاسعار، متوسط سعر الكهرباء للمزارع الضخمة في الصين وامريكيا يتراوح بين 4 سنت الى 6 سنت كحد اقصى، بعضها قد سصل الى 2 سنت في مواسم الامطار حيث يتم استخدام الطاقة النظيفة من مصدات الرياح وسدود الانهار.

لتكون قادر على الكسب يحب ان يكون لديك كهرباء تكلف نفس تلك الارقام او اقل لو اكثر بقليل، اما 16 سنت للكليو وات ساعة هوا امر مستحيل.

للاسف يجب ان تبحت عن مجال اخر لاستتمار اموالك، قم بوضع موضوع في القسم الرئيسي وقد تحصل على بعض الافكار.

بالتوفيق

احتاح لمعرفة بعض النقاط قبل تقديم النصيحة.

اولها واهمها تكلفة الكهرباء في بلدك..كم تدفع للكيلو وات ساعة وهل هي مستقرة ام لا.

تانيا هل لديك مكان يسمح لك باستهلاك طاقة كهرباء عالية نسبيا ام انك تخطط لوضعها في المنزل؟

ان كان الجواب المنزل فهل لديك غرفة خاصة او كراج بحيث انك تتحكم في مستوى الضجيج الصادر من الاجهزة.

بعد الاجابة سأقوم بنصحك بما يتماشى مع وضعك.

How hot is it in Australia? it hardly gets as hot as 30 °C around summer there, we don't know the exact temperatures that will kill Coronavirus, but it's safe to assume that it dislikes hot weather and gets stronger during cold days, that is one of the reasons why people tend to fall more sick in winter than in summer.


20 °C is not even hot, how hot does it get in June/July? where I live temps go to as high as 45 °C, heck we even went above 55 °C (131F) a few times, I am pretty confident that will be more than what any virus can handle, we human beings can barely survive the summer here. 


That is bad news, my thoughts are with you.


Yup, we are a few but do exist or at least up to this point in time which I hope will last longer.


I don't think there is any direct link between high blood sugar and death % as far as the coronavirus is concerned, asthma and age do pretty much directly, so you should really be more careful than everyone else.

Looking at bitinfocharts bitcoin total hashrate is sitting at 95EH, the last time we got this low was back in January 2020, the average hashrate for this year seem to be around 115EH, I expect both bitcoin price as well as hashrate will keep on dropping prior to the halving, probably bitcoin price at $2600 and hashrate to 85EH, that's just a wild guess.

I hope I didn't leave you or anyone else who read this with the impression that Purse.io somehow does not work or they are dishonest, it's certainly not that and for those who don't do it for business where every single drop in bitcoin price matters, IMO purse.io is the best option out there.


Yup 2% is better than nothing and you don't expose yourself to bitcoin volatility, or maybe one day soon bitcoin market will be large enough to maintain low volatility which is perfect for services like Purse.io.

Indeed, I am by no means saying that technical analysis has stronger value than pandemics, but they certainly add more insult to injury, so instead of people only selling something to survive, you got the traders taking short positions on the pair, making the drop even worse, of course, this is only what I think.


Having some of the things you mentioned above is also a great way of maintaining the value of your wealth, where I live food prices increased over 10% over 24hrs and we have 0 confirmed cases, I can only imagine that everything people need to survive will go up at least 100% in price if we get a single case confirmed, I cashed out just enough for a couple of months, slowly stacking food preparing for the worse.

Some researches suggest that higher temperatures will slow down the spreading of the coronavirus, and if that it's true I don't expect it to spread where I live because in just a few weeks we will start having long days with strong sunshine and a ton of heat, there is also a vaccine from Moderna Therapeutic that should be ready "for human testing as early as April" according to this article, so let's expect the worst but still hope for the best.

We are 76 blocks behind and still have a long way to go till the adjustment, and I highly doubt any major corrections to the upside until the difficulty adjustment takes place, so my guess is a drop of between 12% to 15% is imminent, we have a few hours for the weekly close and so far it seems like we closing below the critical 200MA on the weekly chart which is a very bad sign that suggests a lower-low than 3.2k, my guess is 2.6k in a few weeks before the market recovers, however, before heading south we might have a few days of price bouncing up so if difficulty drops 15% i think you will still be able to mine a little more with the S9s but most likely not for long.

اعتقد ان الاسباب التي ثم ذكرها كلها مرتبطة بفايروس كارونة بطريقة او باخرى, فمثلا كيف فشلت صفقة النفط بين اوبيك وروسيا؟ السبب هوا ان الصين عزفت عن شراء البترول نظرا لتوقف نبسة كبيرة من مصانعها بسبب فايروس كورونا, والصين هي اكبر مشتري للنفط الخام, فكان من الضروري تخفيض الانتاج للمحافظة على السعر ولكن تعنت روسيا والسعودية هوا ما ادرى الى انهيار سعره اكثر واكثر, ونفس الشي ينطبق على توقف النشاطات الاخرى فالمسبب الرئيسي هوا الفايروس, طبعا هدا لا يعني ان النظام الاقتصادي للعالم كان يسير بطريقة مثال بالعكس تماما فهوا هش واي شي بحجم هدا الوباء كافي لان يوجه له ضربة قوية.

بالامكان الاعتقاد ان فايروس كارونا هوا بمتابة "القشة التي قصمت ظهر البعير", والهبوط الحاصل في كل الاسواق ومنها الكريبتو هوا شي طبيعي حيث ان الناس الان تريد كاش في منازلها لتشتري الطعام والغداء وتفدع الايجار ووو, كل هدا يحول دون وضع اي استتمارات خصوصا لمحدودي الدخل, انا اؤمن بالتحليل الفني واعتقد ايضا ان الاخبار لا توثر بشكل كبير وطويل على الاسواق, ولكن فايروس كارونة لم يعد مجرد خبر على الصحف بل اصبح حقيقة قوية واصبح تأثيرها مباشر على كل شي حولنا.

They will be combined on the status page, GS1 + S15 hash power will show as one in the main worker details and  "workers" will show 2, and you will get a break down status under that to show each miner's own status, but that's irrelevant anyway, even if you were to use different addresses or even different pools your chances will be the same, what matters to your chances of finding a block is the total hashrtate you own against everyone else, how the numbers look on the status page simply make no difference, because remember it's always one single miner that finds the block.

يبدو ان هده دعاية لموقعك حيث انك قمت بجمع كل تلك المواقع في موقعك وهدا ليس بالشيء السيء ولكن من واجبي التنبيه, على اي حال انا شخصيا ا احب استخدام هده المواقع المذكورة ولا غيرها من المواقع المجانية وخصوصا العربية, فهي مليئة بالدعايات المزعجة وسرعة التحميل بطيئة جدا والاسواء من هدا كله هوا الاعلانات الجنسية التي تظهر في بعض المواقع, يعني لا يمكن استخدامها بوجود اناس بينك وبينهم ادنى حدود الاحترام, رمبا تكون تلك الاعلانات نادرة ولكن مجرد احتمال وجودها يكفي.

اما بخصوص استخدام المواقع المدفوعة مثل نتفلكس, فلا يمكن المقارنة من حيث الجودة ففي النهاية لكل شي ثمن, ولكن المواقع المجانية قد تكون هي الحل الوحيد لبعض الناس.

ماذا تعني هده الجملة ؟


الغريب في الامر انك تقوم بالبيع لاكثر من سنة بدون وجود اي review حولك وهدا في حد ذاته مثير للشك, وانت ايضا لاتتيح خيار استخدام وسيط escrow بالرغم من خيار الوساطة لايضمن للمشتري ان المفاتيح التي تبيعها ستعمل طوال الفترة المحددة على اي حال.
