Hi, I need to mine a small amount of bitcoins per month, equal to just $100/month to pay for my bitcoin expenses.
I don't have the time to 'learn' the process, I just want to pay someone that will set it up for me, tell me exactly what VPS I'll need, what software I must have, and just explain how to set it up and answer basic questions.
Please let me know if anyone is interested in helping and how much you will charge, feel free to PM me as well
Well, you can't mine bitcoin on a VPS, unless you have physical access to the server running the VPS. And in this case, you'll just use your VPS to run your ASIC. To mine $100 worth of BTC, you'll need to buy an ASIC. I think you'll probably need at least 5 antminer S3's to do the job (depending on your electricity rate). (EDIT: or at least 2 antminer S5's, or 15 S1's,...) Mind you: you'll probably have a really hard time ROI'ing (recuperating the hardware cost + electricity cost), since the cost of an S3 is to high for the income you'll probably make with the ASIC EDIT: here are antminer's specs (given the S3's specs as example, the other ones can be found via google... You can also search for spondoolies or avalons specs): https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020140630025130637RV8OhOwt06BChere is a website where you can calculate how much money you'll probably make (the actual ammount will probably be lower, since there's a block halving coming around, and the diff will probably rise): http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator |

Hi all As its said in title http://www.bitvisitor.com/ seems to be a scam more then 3 payment pending since 4 days the counter being reset and nothing received any one also got the same issue ? Can you move this topic to the scam accusation board, and add some proof (screenshots, chatlogs, transactions,...)? There is a template in the scam accusation board that you can follow (it's highly advised to do so) Thanks |

for bitcoins there are lots more options for lending loans and on this forum there is that option, does anyone know if there are lending options for normal currency like paypal money. I'm trying to look for a forum similar to bitcointalk.org, where people are offering and lending loans to people for normal currency like paypal,skrill,bank transfer.
because the other ones which are not forums they require you to be over 18 and want more information from you.
Be carefull when giving paypal loans... It's a reverable currency, so the lender could just reclaim the funds from the borrower, and keep the collateral anyways! |

i really dont know about this. and how and where to connect machine too.
Yes, you need physical internet connection. I you are solo mining, you need a synchronised wallet, if you're mining in a pool, you need to be connected to the pool to get your work. |

The site's down for me, but can someone tell me their source for transaction fees increasing? My node shows the required transaction fee has decreased slightly since the spam attack started, though not significantly. As far as I can tell, fee-paying transactions are not being affected by the attack at all.
They do get affected... I made one with a reasonable fee about 7 hours ago, and i'm still waiting. |

If the fee was not high enough it can take a long time or it will return to your wallet in 1-4 days i guess
Depends on the wallet... If i'm not mistaking, bitcoin-qt will rebroadcast untill you start it with -zapwallet . Many other wallets will only broadcast once, and in this case, the funds will return to you in a couple of days (it's random) |

There are a couple explanations...
-devthedev actually sold the domain + scripts to Unchi
-the domain expired and Unchi regged it
-devthedev was hacked
-some sort of deal between devthedev and Unchi that went sour
-...
Maybe it's wise to just wait untill both parties had a chance to give an explanation before jumping to conclusions.
- if devthedev sold the domain and script then why he bumped the topic today to sale it - if domain expired and unchi regged then what about hosting same script - there is no hack report for his account - if there was any deal then they must have some proofs of it Well... I was just trying to give some possible explanations, in order to avoid jumping to conclusions to fast... Some explanations were indeed farfetched, but i think they're all still possible: - if devthedev sold the domain and script then why he bumped the topic today to sale it => maybe because he didn't realise his domain expired?- if domain expired and unchi regged then what about hosting same script => because the script is opensource and on github- there is no hack report for his account => maybe he's AFK for a while, and didn't realise his account being compromised yet... Maybe the hacker didn't even change his PW- if there was any deal then they must have some proofs of it => offcourse.... That's why i suggested to wait untill both parties had a chance to explain  I know i'm playing the devil's advocate here... I'm not saying devthedev is innocent, i'm just saying that he's a respected member, and he does deserve to give his explanation before he's burned |

so I'm at hour 76 now..
@TigerMart: this perfectly looks like my transaction.. this is my only transaction for about 1 week..
any ideas how to solve?
I already used -rescan, -zapwallettx etc.. desperate here -.-
I'm not an expert (just learning the technical aspect myself) but maybe you could: - search witch addresses contain coins - dumpprivkey - close the wallet, don't open it again - wait untill the network forgets about your transaction - sweep the private keys directly into blockchain (since you seem to want to use an online wallet). (-maybe you can import the keys into electrum, and create a double spend with a higher fee?) As i said before: i'm no expert... Maybe Shorena or somebody else with loads of knowledge can confirm/deny this method? I'd personally never use an online wallet to hold 0.9 BTC, but each to his own. |

I don't know if this will help you, but for my old pc, i bought a zalman. It's really quite. But there are at least 5-10 other companies that produce silent pc fans.

Do all miners get a portion of the transactions fees included in the mined blocks or only some of them receive fees? Is it like a lottery or everyone is guaranteed to profit from this?
Depends on the mining pool at the moment... If you solo mine a block, the fees are automatically yours, when using a pool, you need to read their TOS. EDIT: i just re-read your question, and it can also be interpreted in a different way, to which the answer is: only the solo miner/pool that solved the block gets the fees... If you didn't solve a block, you get no fee . Offcourse, when you're part of a mining pool, the pool owner can set it up any way he/she likes when it comes to dividing the fee. |

Thank you, so the fee probably wont increase but the value of btc will?
Hard to say... It'll probably be an equilibrium between the fee size and the diff (influenced by the number of miners). It's all economics. Rising fees will push people towards creating less (small) transactions (maybe towards altcoins or offchain transactions) Rising diff will push miners out of business Falling block rewards will push miners out of business Falling bitcoin prices will push miners out of business The opposite of these situations can also occur, but nobody can say what the equilibrium will be. Maybe (just maybe), bitcoins will be worth $1.000.000/1 BTC by the time the block reward is close to 0. In this case 0.16 BTC will be a big chunk of money, worth mining. On the other side, bitcoin might be worth $1/1 BTC, in this case the fee will need to rise substantially and there will be many miners that go out of business... |

I wanted to try your service out from my smartphone (android 5.0), but immediately got a warning about a problem with your security certificate. You might want to check into this, since it throws people off... Also, you might want to chose a different responsive theme for mobile visitors... This one makes me scroll left-right to view your full page. The rest of the review will come after the mixing is completed (mixing from my desktop, because the mobile interface isn't mobile-friendly ). Thanks! |

If I were you, I'd create a multisig wallet so that your partner has to specifically ask you or vice versa to accept any transactions...
That's what I was going to say. ^^ This is an even better idear... Would it be possible to make a 3-party multisig wallet requiring 2 signatures? That way, you could give an official notary the third signature in case of a death/legal issues??? I'm just trying to learn about multisig myself, i have little knowledge about how this technically works  |

Im kinda confused, where do i get the address for the mixing ?
Do i need to use my own address for the mixing process ?
I guess that's one of the things we'll find out after we receive some testfunds |

Hey guys,
I want a Bitcoin wallet that can be used by 2 people at the same time.
Something like a bank account that can be used by you or your wife.
It''s something like a business account for me and my business partner.
We both need access to this wallet.
absolutely . YES it could be done. just have to install the same seed of a wallet on 2 computers , on for bitcoin core, using the same wallet.dat on 2 different computers ( ore more ..) just out of curiosity: if you use the same wallet.dat on two different computers, won't this cause any problems? I tought that bitcoind (or bitcoin-qt) would generate new private keys for change addresses. I read somewhere that there were a couple addresses pre-generated, but when they run out, new addresses get generated automatically. In this case, the OP and his partner would start out with the same private keys in their wallets, but after a while, their wallets wouldn't be the same anymore... Is this correct? |

Who would determine that? There is no central authority that would disconnect one wallet and keep the other online. Chances are very high that both are connected to different nodes (assuming SPV or full node wallets) or servers (electrum) anyway.
--snip--
^^ this is why i specifically proposed electrum. I know for a fact that it's possible to have two electrum wallets open at the same time... I do it all the time. Just leave my wallet open at the office, and still open this wallet (generated from the same seed) at home for a quick peek in case i expect some payment. With the labelsync it's even easy to synchronise your labels between home and office (or in OP's case, between him and his partner). Offcourse, there is a minimal chance both the OP and his partner generate a transaction with the same inputs at the same time. In this case, i suppose one of the transactions is included in a block, the other one is cancelled. Eventough the chance is really small, i suppose the OP and his partner would have to double check their transactions after 30 minutes to see if they went trough... |
