5601  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer L3 - 250mh - 400watt Scrypt miner coming soon on: March 12, 2017, 11:37:19 PM
I haven't tested this miner but I think it is good with it's price and by the way it's bitmain. One great side of this miner is that on market there was already baikal miner, dash miner and some etc things, also despite that fact people were using gpus. Now that means that leading miners seller, bitmain is going to come here, in altcoin section and I think we with that passed way, we will get great competition.

Sometimes that time is normal for bitcoin transactions but if it seems that transaction isn't confirming the way you were excepted, than you can to try bitcoin accelerators. Well, some people suggested you viabtc accelerator, which is free but also there is one morr serious choise, that's pushtx.btc.com. <-- transaction accelerator owned by bitmain but that isn't free and you have to pay.
5603  Other / Off-topic / Re: Young people should go all in on bitcoin on: March 12, 2017, 09:30:25 PM
Well, to populate something than that's best way. If young people will start to use bitcoin, than after some years we will see bitcoin as a first payment system, but also that young people are depended on nowdays businessmans. If they won't offer us bitcoin payment, we won't be able to should go all on bitcoin, to my mind if anyone will realize, investing in bitcoins will be great way for young people nowdays. Also price will rise and it will help them in future.
5604  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC back to 1,200+ on: March 12, 2017, 09:48:42 AM
Maybe we will still achieve higher than 1200$ because now is 1180$ but to my mind people had to keep this prise stable but as we see many people sold bitcoins near 1100$ and that's really bad. We mustn't let bitcoin's price to fall and we must try our best to keep it rising. I still have hopes and maybe we will get stable 1300$ because we saw in winter that bitcoin quickly rised from 600 to 900.
5605  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: Are quantum computers closer to becoming reality? on: March 12, 2017, 08:08:28 AM
If you think that bitcoin is in danger because of this invention, than I can't agree you because goverments have powerful quantum computers, there is no doubt. Also there are many talented hackers and nowdays no one was able to damage bitcoin system. I don't say that there is nothing impossible but technologies are developing, so that means bitcoin will be developed if there is need.
5606  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Are Bitcoin mixing sevices safe? on: March 11, 2017, 09:38:27 PM
Bitcoin mixers are for you to feel yourself safe, so that automatically means that you avoid to receive coins used for criminal. A user sends mixers their BTC and we cap it onto the end of our reserve chain. This method of mixing means that you do not have to wait for other customers – coins already mixed are instantly available. That is the main idea of mixers but it's better to see what every mixer offers to you, that was quoted from bitmixer.
5607  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin overcome Paypal? on: March 11, 2017, 08:44:51 PM
Yes you nailed it. There is no comparison between bitcoin and PayPal as bitcoin has so many features and jargon free which we cannot find in PayPal and cannot expect as well, In other words PayPal is a failure method and Bitcoin is the future as day by day more and more merchants have started accepting BTC and more countries are going cashless so there is a lot in store for BTC which PayPal can never achieve.
hah, do you understand what do you say? Do you have ability to get back wrongly sent transaction? While shopping, can you get your money back?
Also how can you consider bitcoin and paypal in one way? Bitcoin is currency and paypal is operating online payments. Only one thing I can to agree you is that bitcoin is becoming popular every day.
5608  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why would there be just one cryptocurrency? on: March 11, 2017, 12:25:04 PM
Why won't we focuse bitcoin on that? We need something trusted and unique and bitcoin is that. Well, wealthy competition is always good and we hav ability of that but nowdays mostly altcoins can't to offer us such services and they are doing hard forks, lets take etherium for example. Also another factor is that there are many big datacenteres, exchangers and there is much, really much invested in bitcoins and everyone knows that bitcoin is really most trusted coin.
5609  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Data Center Mining Garage and Man Mining Cave ( PART 2 !!!!!!!!) on: March 11, 2017, 09:54:31 AM
@metalmag = For Mining, if you need to use AC, you're not doing it right.  Especially if your region upper temperature is that cool.  Again I'm in the 40C in the summer and others are even higher in Arizona and we can do it fine.  Even if you have free Electricity the cost of buying, installing, maintenance, etc is very high.  Let's do some quick math.

Assuming Free electricity.

10 Rigs = 4 TON AC @ $4-7K each depending brand and SEER levels installed.
100 Rigs = 4 x 4 Ton AC  $40-70K.

1 x 4 Ton uses at peak up to 60AMP.  So you're wasting 600AMP just for AC alone!  Now you have to factor in that you will need around 600-800AMP more for your 100 Rigs so the total is up to 1400AMP.   Even Commercial space the transformer may not be powerful enough to handle 1400AMP as you're sharing with other tenants.  You can request for more power if it's available but they will charge you for it.  Now this isn't even taking the consideration of the 80% rule which means you really need at least 1700AMP.  This is taking you into Industrial spaces which requires very large warehouses.   So you're talking about something you can achieve for less than $40K which includes 600AMP of power to drive your rigs into something well north over over $200K and require special zoning to accommodate.  If you design your environment right, you SHOULD NOT need AC.  Mining is a Mathematical game.  Even at 3cents / kw, you won't even be able to compete against someone with 10 cents KW even you have to use AC.  I would invest that money into more RIGs and a better layout / exhaust strategy. If you have that kind of budget, it shouldn't be hard.  To win in this game you must keep your cost low and invest the rest into HASH.

@yslylung - Yes Finksy just got his 150 Picos in.  Your price is very competitive for a custom solution.  Finksy's cost is actually still lower so there's a small margin for reseller on top but his goal is to keep the cost as low as possible for the community.  He's sending me 20 units to test for my different Prototypes designs.  I have 10 of the HP 1200W including the V6 breakout boards plus more 4KW to play.  There's never a 1 size fit all solutions and always pros and cons with every options.  The HP solution is best if you can get them in bulk for $20 or less each as there's breakout boards $25-30, Pico $30 and cabling cost $18-25.  That brings you to about $105 for the normal consumer.  People will always argue that you can buy a ATX for almost the same price with better future resales, yadda yadda.  Maybe you can during hot sales but the cabling and configuration will not be as sexy.  The issue with this solution is that many people in America use 120V which this PSU can  only deliver 900W vs the world on 240 which this PSU can deliver 1200W. I don't have this issue so I'm not concern.    Also the HP 1200W have only 1 TINY fan, I'm not sure how well it can handle the heat but man does that fan make a LOUD pitch noise!!  This thing is definitely not something I want to run inside my house.

For large miners the 4KW is important as they don't want to rearrange rigs after it's installed in the RACK.  They also want be future proof and plug things in and never have to really think about power usage later one.  Heck most people didn't even know that ZEC and ETH first version and current version consumes WAY MORE power.  So if they're sizing based on original estimates, they're screwed.  However as you said, if you have a PSU go down, you're not just affecting 1 rig but multiple.  That's the downside, the upside is that each breakout board and PSU is so cheap, there's no reason why you shouldn't have at least 1 spare bundle if you're a large miner.  Swapping is super fast and simple.  Efficiency for PSU is also better when you're using less than 70% of load and that will be harder to do on the HP.   I like bother solutions and at the end of the day, paired with PCI Risers and Picos, I'm really liking the Server PSU setup so so much better.  No more clutters.

I have design prototypes that will take advantages of both the PROs on each solution.  At the end of the day, if you're a large farmer, you will have a variety.  There's no solution that can meet every need.   But I do think that once people see more of the cool server PSU and PICO designs now that we PCI Powered risers, they will LOVE TO GET their hands on these PICOs.

I and metalmag, we are from same country. Well, in summer temperature here mostly is between 35-40 degree Celsius. Electricity isn't free but if you have contract with bitfury (gldani free zone, both are one shit), than it's cheap, at least good for mining. Well, I agree you that investing in HASH is the main will. If I amn't wrong, BitFury and metalmag are doing thing similarly, than that means something is wrong on BitFury's side? Why didn't they choose that?
Hope metalmag will come and answer us of course. P.S your suggests are very good and thanks again.

This is some nice airflow setup, can you be more specific about pulling the AC air from the ground?

This is a typical DC airflow diagram bro, most if not all data centers are designed like this ...
I mean what are the most cost effective ways of data center air cooling systems?

The air is pulsed from the ground through grilled plates that replace the normal floor plates and pulled by negative pressure, made from the racks intakes and the hot aisle separation/ceiling air-pull, this is the most efficient design as air cooling goes, and the sad part is that you have plenty of datacenters that aren't respecting it fully, even though it has been invented for nearly 25+ years now. You also have some system variant, but the principles are the same.


Wow, that's very great, I haven't seen such mining datacenter ever because mostly everyone use airflow system. I guess it won't be your only cooling system and don't you think that that will be smally waste of money?
As I know Bitfury is using air flow system as I know because mettalmag has mining center here, near bitfury.
5611  Economy / Economics / Re: Are central banks losing control? on: March 10, 2017, 10:25:01 PM
Nowdays everyone is trying to get bitcoin in their hands and it won't be surprise if we see that someone will lose control and someone will gain, that is and will be provisory with current situation.
Cryptocurrencies are vastly superior to typical fiat currencies, but they are nowhere near as convenient at the moment. It will take a long time until a bitcoin world appears. For example, if you wanted to pay for a beverage like a Coke with Bitcoin, as of now it would be take around 30 minutes for the transaction to be confirmed, not to mention having to input the restaurant's address. It is just much quicker to hand over a note and get your Coke instantly.
Such servises aren't working the way you said because no one will wait 30 minute for buying coca or etc. For example look Foldapp, they offer us to buy starbucks coffee with bitcoins instantly but you have to use their wallet so transaction is instant without any confirmation.
5612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Obligation of miners to return excessive fees on: March 10, 2017, 08:13:53 PM
Well, it's not their duty to give you back your mistakenly sent fee but to my mind that situation is very important, 2.5 btc isn't small amount. Did you contact them? Also what was amount of sent bitcoins (not fee, only interest). Also man, mostly every web wallet and pc wallet tells you recomended fee and nowdays (or in the past) no one is making such fault, to my mind we need to take some changes in bitcoin protocol to automatically limit such high fee.
5613  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Day trading on: March 10, 2017, 07:54:53 AM
It depends on how changeable is altcoin's price. For example if one altcoin is changing daily 4-5% than that's better to trade daily and if you think that that altcoin is new and will have good or great future, that it's better to try long term investment.
So if price is changing frequently and you are very good trader, than try daily trading, everything depends on situation and you have to decide which option is better.
5614  Economy / Services / Re: Looking for a Signature Campaign manager for the coming KarmaToken (KTN) ICO on: March 09, 2017, 10:27:52 AM
I can do this for you. I have already managed many campaigns . But since this project is altcoins related I would need some questions to be answered. Hope you wouldn't mind since this is regarding the safety of the ICO investors.

Let me know if it is OK.

To be honest @Avirunes - you are very good campaign manager, but did you ever think why other guys take order, not you? I will tell you - they already have prepared portfolio for any case and they send to potential client BOMB of informations, and you will never see this official Wink Don't take it personally Smiley Good luck!

Thanks for the compliments. I know what they do to take up a deal as I was once in that race when I started  Tongue.

See what I believe that it is first upto campaign owners to decide who will be managing . Of course , they look for a pack of things in a campaign manager and that is the point where most of the campaign managers differ.

And BTW a campaign managers need a portfolio . is it right? Yeah I think it gives an impact but I believe "vouchers" or "supporters" are a portfolio in itself and that is a big factor (that does not mean you don't have to keep portfolio). Take for yahoo case, he is known in this community for long as a good signature campaign manager and he now has many active campaigns. I don't think he personally send portfolio to the client . He don't have to because his vouchers and supporters places impression how much he is good in this before the client.

I guess somehow you did that for me too lol Tongue ,thanks

And,yeah I never get offended . Even though I smile at tries Smiley . But yeah I think that's the reality what you said there so I didn't take it as personal.

There is a good future lies and there are many new campaign managers that can come out good in this. I personally have seen one or two. Ofcourse I started by a chance and now new managers also should get some .

GL to all

As I said, I wanted to manage campaign but despite that fact I can't to not suggest you this man, Avirunes.

I can to manage your signature if you wish, I haven't managed ever but I was in many high paying signature campaign and I now the things inside. If you want, take me on probation and I will manage your signature for free for 2 weeks, after that we can make a deal.

Luptin, you posted example of spam transaction. By your words this means that spam transactions are making confirmation low and that's why we see fatal unconfirmations, even with blockchain.infom's medium fee, my transaction took more than 1 day for confirmation.
Wasn't that thought that many transaction would make confirmation slow? Won't there be done any fork to fix that issue? It seems, with this way, transactions will be terrible in future.
5618  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How is trading *not* gambling? on: March 07, 2017, 11:18:07 AM
How different is trading from just gambling? I know there seems to be a  big difference with technical analysis and whatnot, but in the end aren't you just betting on something completely random?
Also on trading there is other method analysis fundamental and not analysis technical only, that is first different between trading and gambling, there are method for make prediction of price and the method had been used by all of professional traders in the world, there are not method for win on gambling game, the other different on trading we can do stop lost if the price against our prediction and I don't know there is stop lost in gambling.
Both, gambling and trading has it's own and shared winning method. For example we can take martingale which is the wrost method in any situation. Mathematically we can analyze both, trading and for example take roulette. The main problem is that mostly serous gambling websites has algorithm to catch your method or change their strategy.
5619  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are transaction accelerators a better option than segwit or lightning network on: March 06, 2017, 09:46:14 PM
Perhaps each mining pool should create their own "accelerator" and accept payment for "acceleration".  Those that pay the highest "acceleration fee" will get to be in the next block.  The lower "acceleration fees" will need to wait for later blocks.

Oh wait, isn't this how bitcoin already works?  We pay a transaction fee to get our transactions confirmed.  Those that pay the highest fee get confirmed first. Even better, with the current system we can KNOW that the miner that confirms our transaction will get the fee.  If we use third party "accelerators" we might have to pay a separate fee to multiple miners and only one of them will actually confirm the transaction. The rest will get free money!

Perhaps a better solution would be for most of the major wallets to default to RBF.  Then the wallet can have an "accelerate" button that increases the fee paid.

Perhaps the major wallets should also have an "accelerate received transaction" button that creates a CPFP transaction with an additional fee?
What you say is really unuseful because if we still have to pay for transaction accelerate, than simply pay needed fees and everything will went smooth. Also if every main pool will offer us such service and like you say that those that pay the highest fee get confirmed quickly, than that is against bitcoin users because everyone won't use that and they will get low confirm time with high fee.
