Maybe they'll actually show us a chip this time... a new diagram If we're lucky, this new chip might be released next year. If we aren't, it's already scrapped  still waiting for a chip from these guys still, i have hope in anything that isn't Bitmain. We need some diversity in the bitcoin mining scene.

Yeah, just like every other digital method of payment like credit cards and Paypal. Bitcoin's got a good cause, and it's pretty unlikely it was created for malicious intent of any kind. It's helped millions of people around the world, and it can indeed change, but again, it's unlikely as it's used for many good purposes.

At least in the near future, there won't be much competition for Bitcoin; it's the father of cryptocurrencies and nobody really wants to abandon it for any other currency. It's got huge volume, a large userbase, and unless something bad happens to it nothing will happen.

Many exchanges and even people on the forum offer these kinds of services; just always be sure to review the site and use escrow if you are dealing with people on the forum, and you should be fine. Try to avoid methods like paypal which can be reversed, and other than that, it's your own choice what site or user to use.

well, good luck trying to deploy the contract and figure things out- it'll work out eventually, and some of us at least have the patience for the coin to even launch. It's unfortunate that many are dumping their coins, but i guess that's life.

There's a reason the answer is vague, and that's mainly because you haven't provided any information on cooling, electrical costs, etc.
If you have electrical costs below 3-4 cents and have average cooling, go for the S7 or its LN- counterpart. Otherwise, the S9 is the way to go if your electricity is below .10$/kwh and you have good cooling. The R4 isn't really good for a serious miner; it's efficiency is a little worse, even though it uses the same chips, and they charge a bit of a premium for the fact that it is home-friendly. Keep in mind you can replace fans if you need to; a 120mm pwm that has good airflow above 3000rpm will work and usually make the miner quieter.

Sent you an email titled 'Monero coin request'. Seems like a great design, thanks for supporting the community I was expecting just a coin, but not a hologram included!

The best part about reading this thread is that you can see where the discussion's gone to shit, and it's just people spreading FUD and arguing about pointless things. Guess that's what happens when you offer such a high bounty and try to do the right thing.

Probably the most immature cryptocurrency community I've ever seen in a very long time. Won't be supporting this for long, it's clear that nobody actually cares about ICN'S success at all, and they just want to get out ASAP.

I messaged a guy and he wanted 0.0001 per token, there are definitely people out there who want to buy in at a low price, and there are people panic selling at that price. At this rate, I'd expect a dump once they get onto exchanges, if at all they do. Nobody knows though, I'll probably HODL until they get to 0.0004 or something like that.

Considering there's people selling at ico price, you probably aren't going to find any buyers anytime soon. GL though, eventually the people selling will exhaust their supplies and you'll be able to sell in a few days after this blows over.

The funniest part with all of this is the fact that we've got an amazing opportunity to buy at below-ico prices and recieve dividends, as well as sell when the ICO is over. I'll be buying your ICN at 0.10$ per, message me if you'd like to sell. Pretty funny imo, if you can't wait for a coin to be launched, investing isn't for you. The team's doing what they need to do.

That's with current difficulty, which probably won't hold very steady t all. Hashrate is bound to go up, and ROI is getting further and further away. The fact of the matter is that mining simply isn't profitable for most people in the world, and it won't be in the future. Another factor that most people don't look at is cooling, which can actually cost quite a bit. You'll want a nice, cool room- a hot environment isn't going to do you much good for your miner's lifetime.

It's going to take quite some time for ICN to even reach the 0.0005 mark, which is probably near or around where I'll sell my ICN. It's definitely got potential, and the fact that dividends will be recieved makes it more likely to be held rather than sold immediately after the coin is launched. IOU price is not a good way to look at the price of the coin accurately at all; in most cases, dumping brings the price down almost instantaneously.


That said, I am selling around 2350 ICN for 0.000425 BTC each. PM me for details.

It's not a big deal (arguably), so I agree with you on this one; they might delay it a day or two, but iirc there was a message that the worst case scenario would be that it'd be delayed a week. Just relax, time means more time for the coin to get onto exchanges and more exposure. This is only the beginning of Iconomi, just just a phase.
Let the dumpers dump and the holders hold. It's just how life works.

Pm'ed you; if you don't recieve it, I'll resend. Definitely interested in this job, will update this post or make a new one once I get my payment. I have lots of experience as you can see in my PM. Looking forward to make some comments for you.

It also means that you'll use less money on heating this year if you live in a cooler place in the northern hemisphere- although miners don't provide the best heating, they do make a room nice and toasty in just a few minutes. You can always underclock a miner for less heat production if needed.

A huge issue people don't often realise is the fact that ventilation is very important to the efficiency and lifetime of miners. You'll need a well-cooled room that has ventilation; I use my basement because of its coolness and also the fact that it's pretty quiet when I put my S5s and S3's there. Everybody else has miners covered, but you'll need to watch how much electricity you can use as well- you may very well have pretty low limits.

Generally, aim for obsolete units that provide good hashrate; if you're genuinely unsure if you want to do this, a used S1 on free electricity can be a good learning experience; you won't earn much, even with free electricity, but it works.

It's still not going to make you much, if at all you get anything out of it. Unless you have absolutely free electricity, it's not worth mining anything with the S3 unless you're like me and just want a nice and quiet lottery miner. People have hit blocks solomining with S3's and S5s, so it's definitely possible. I assume you have a normal electricity cost, though, so in that case you won't ever get near 1 BTC in the next 4 years.

Considering most of these cryptocurrency blogs do this kind of stuff to make money anyways, doing your own research is more important than ever. I usually only look at smaller sites for information; they are usually less corruptible and provide more honest opinions as well as getting straight to the facts.

Coin Telegraph has been posting b.s since they've gotten this big, I'm surprised people even read it anymore.

I believe you mean the S7-LN. IT actually won't profit for most people, as it's efficiency is comparable to that of the S7. The R4 is, imo, a waste of money; the S9 is a better and slightly more efficient solution. It's not guaranteed that you hit a block, and it can actually cost more than buying lottery tickets over a long time.
