61  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Try to recover loss on: March 14, 2018, 02:25:17 AM
-never sell anything
Lol what? That is awful advice
- it is the worst time to sell altcoins
Not the worst time, the worst would have been in early February when everything got rocked
- i sugget to hodl until altcoins start recuperation
This is correct and one of the only ways to play your situation. If you feel the market is going to tumble harder then you can sell with the intention to buy back, otherwise just hodl from here on out.

This is the most accurate depiction of my opinion as well. The last suggestion is incredibly risky though. Trading crypto has become more of a gamble than an investment at this point due to massive players shifting the markets in the course of a few minutes. It's just super volatile.
62  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: There is such a thing as Asic miner for Ethereum? on: March 14, 2018, 02:20:57 AM
to date there is no asic for ethereum. and most likely will never be with an ever-increasing DAG file and pos on the horizon.

There are many scammers out there promoting[ websites that are fake or scams

That is incorrect. Bitmain has been giving information that they have made one, and are working on it. Ethereum is supposed to be ASIC resistant, so an algo change to disable ASICs is supposed to occur but looks like they dont really care if the ASICs come in.

This is incorrect. Bitmain hasn't said a damn thing and never will until they release one.
It is some random Chinese website that said they may be working on one.

If you are waiting for Bitmain to make the announcement then you will hear about it when it is listed for sale. Its basic knowledge that something is being created and done, and even when there are more than 1 website stating specifics into the machine, and even sources that prove that they have been working on it. If you were to read more into it, you can see there is proof that they have been acquiring the RAM required, and producing an ASIC for ethereum. Bitmain does not announce anything until they are up for sale, because they dont want the public to know they have already been using it for months and selling off cleaned up units as brand new.

These 'sources' all all baised on or quote 1 random Chinese propaganda site.
On random source is not proof.

I agree, I've heard about these rumors too....but they are just rumors. ETH is switching to POS and there would be no reason for an ASIC miner to be made for an algorithm that is only temporary.

https://news.bitcoin.com/las-vegas-strippers-accept-bitcoin-via-qr-tattoos/

A Las Vegas news show has featured a segment on an adult entertainment venue in the city which enables its dancers to get payments from clients directly via bitcoin transfers.

Well I guess these developments had to happen. I just hope the tattoo is accurate. Smiley

My comment when I saw this is that they should really have the QR code point to a redirectable URL.  If their address was compromised for some reason, it'd be a pain in the ass (perhaps literally) to have it changed.

Hey, realsteve, here's a pic for you:

Loading stripper with QR code...

Enjoy,
Ben


This post alone make my day! But hey, is that a real woman?

Saw the news through one of the post in 9gag and I'm speechless. How many patrons of that strip club that goes often and are requesting to pay with Bitcoins which prompts them to take such action?

Yes, payment through debit or credit cards can be trace. But, spreading this kind of news to the public? It will make wives more suspicious on their crypto enthusiast husband. Banks will tighten their KYC. Why not just pay and stick with cash? It's not traceable and they can just bury their income on some stash or better buy a safe vault.

Holy crap. That is insane. Yeah I agree, even paying with fiat paper money can lead to the same argument (you can't track physical currency as well as digital), but with their wallet address TATTOOED ON THEIR SKIN it's kinda obvious who owns the wallet and all those transactions are traceable.

As for Banks tightening their KYC because strippers are tattooing their BTC wallet address....You lost me there.
64  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Is Delta going to die? on: March 12, 2018, 07:49:23 PM
people slowly start to switch to forkdelta and that makes etherdelta as if numb, some are starting to turn to idex because they are more comfortable to be there.

I really recommend for those who still use etherdelta or forkdelta  to shift now to idex. The interface is much better compared to them that looks crap. Delta also suffers many issues in the past like them getting hacked.

Yeah their UI is unmatched when it comes to decentralized exchanges. It's still not as user friendly as I'd like for it to be (to introduce newcomers), but it is definitely a step in the right direction. Another good exchange is Cryptobridge in my opinion, I had been watching it grow since it's fruition and it's become a monster of a DEX.

Mine doesnt have a paused line and I did check the other tokens i got and doesnt have paused line.


It can be some sort of error the contract creator made (I've seen well established ICO's mess up and make a useless non-transferable token and have to re issue them). It should be visible in the smart contract on etherscan.io  What token is it that you are talking about?
66  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: YOBIT SUCK!!!! on: March 12, 2018, 07:39:41 PM
This can go for any exchange honestly. I've seen the same activity from Bittrex, Poloniex, GDAX. It's sort of an unavoidable dilemma. Many exchanges aren't prepared for the amount of customer support that is necessary for the volume of customers they have when they begin (or for this matter even years after it's establishment). Because of the rising popularity of crypto, we are seeing more and more delayed tickets and just crap service, because as I see it most exchanges only have a handful of customer support representatives.
67  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can I prevent cryptojacking on my pc? on: March 12, 2018, 07:28:19 PM
There are several ways which you can try including installing extensions like nocoiner or simply using an opera browser ( they have built-in anti cryptojacking feature )

You might want to check this article out
What is Cryptojacking ? And What Can You Do To Prevent It
Really good info, but some website's only stream of income comes from mining. In some cases I would actually prefer my computer be used for mining rather than seeing obnoxious ads so I don't find much of a problem for it - at least for webpage based Javascript miners.
68  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Boycott Coinmarketcap - allowing ponzi to advertise on: March 09, 2018, 11:58:33 PM
As far as I am concerned they use Google Ads for advertisement, so, if you want to blame someone, blame Google Ads. I don't think coinmarketcap wastes it's time verifing all the ads that display on their website.

You are right. I didn't see any privately sponsored ads there. All ads are from google. There is no fault of CMC. Moreover, google place ads as per client's previous history. However, you can blame Google here.

This, It's not something that you can really blame them for. Are we going to boycott Youtube too? Best solution is just downloading adblocker. CMC DOES do some shady stuff, but this isn't one of them. Take for instance the fact that CMC switched to ETH as a price comparison when BTC was at all time low dominance, or that when prices in South Korea for bitcoin were hitting 30k and the prices were excluded from CMC.

70  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: what the best profit coin for mining with AMD on: March 09, 2018, 11:43:56 PM
ETH must be most profitable for you. But best way is to use whattomine service. There you can check yours card in all GPUs algorithm

I stick with ETH as well because AMD seems almost to be built for dagger hashimoto. It's reliable and I never run into any problems with it.
Truthfully, calculating profitability will always end up inconclusive. Cryptocurrency is volatile, you are better off mining a coin that you believe in that has a bright future because the value will constantly change.
71  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: hashrate rx580 strix on: March 09, 2018, 11:40:29 PM
I have 580's but mainly XFX and MSI. I normally pull close to around 30 Mh/s, what's the issue that you are running into for the bios?
Now polaris editor should have a one click timing patch which makes it pretty easy, but doing it manually is pretty easy too.
72  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Looks like Bitconnect finally pulled their exit scam. on: March 09, 2018, 12:30:17 AM
Bitconnect is reportedly dead. Virtually no one can log in and the price has plummeted under $40. They released a statement today that they are halting their lending and exchange platform. All this leading up to a supposed launch of a new Bitconnect ICO called BCCX. But considering this sudden move who would trust such a project? Despite this, buy orders are outnumbering sell orders on HitBTC. And some of the comments in the troll box are pushing the idea that the coin will go back up as high as it was prior to the announcement. Not sure if this is pure delusion, if they know something we don't, or if the people trying to sell are trying to push this idea so they can sell before it goes to $0. Others are claiming that the BCC token can be used to buy the new Bitconnect BCCX token, although no proof has been provided as of yet. Either way, it was a ponzi scheme that would have ended at some point anyway. I for one am sad for those who lost money, but it is a testament to doing your own research and choose coins wisely to invest in.

A very sad news for those who invested, and one of those is my friend. He's hoping for the ROI within 6 months and now he didn't even got it yet. I also tried to invest but when I knew it was something like a lending scheme I backed out as I don't trust that kind of business at all.

Don't you mean "ponzi scheme"? Yes, It was a travesty and there are still copycats functioning to this day. I feel that BCC really pulled a fast one and the new investors that joined during the November rush. It helped give crypto a bad image to many new comers, eventually the dust will settle and things will take a turn.
73  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Nikola Tesla on: March 09, 2018, 12:24:56 AM
I think that Nikola Tesla is the no.1 scientist ever for this 5 reasons.
1. He's the one who invented ac  motor that run the world.
2. He invented wireless communication.
3. He knows how to transmit electric  power wirelessly.
4. He only think about what he can give to humanity.
5. He's a virgin until the day he died.

What do you think?

He also believed in eugenics lol. I think he was a great inventor but he often gets more credit then the shoulders he stands upon, for instance NO ONE has really ever heard of Ruđer Bošković, or Swami Vivekananda, who are primary influences for Tesla.
74  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 570 hashrate on: March 09, 2018, 12:17:56 AM
i have 2 rx 570 4gb red devils

when mining ethash i get around 27m\s on both of them

1200-1950

but mining cryptonight

1 of then ash at 750h\s and the other one 450\h\s

i tried to play a little bit the cc and mc but 450 is the best i could get

anyone could tell me what's wrong ??

and can i pull more than this from this card Huh

my power consumption around 125w which's consider as high

my PSU: cx 750 w corsair

thank you in advance

27 mh/s is a bit to the low side for the 570, what driver are you using ?

Ehh.... some of my 580's catch around that hash rate, that kinda makes me wonder a bit. I thought that was pretty decent to be honest.
75  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Cannot get 8th GPU working on Windows 10 rig on: March 09, 2018, 12:14:16 AM
SOLVED! Finally Smiley
First I had to clone OS from M.2 disk to SATA SSD disk to free up PCIe lane. That was the catch.
Then I pulled out all GPUs, ONE BY ONE to determine, whether it is the catch on PCIe slot or on PCIe-to-USB adapter. And it was PCIe! Simply could not handle more than 3 GPUs directly attached to PCIe slots.
So I used:
- 3 GPUs via risers directly attached to mobo
- 1 GPU via M.2 PCIe adapter
- 4 GPUs via PCIe-to-USB adapter
Plugged in then 1-by-1, rebooted and WAITED few minutes after each reboot, until Win10 settled down. If GPU was not found, rebooted again. After 2 hours rebooting and plugging-in finally all 8 GPUs running Smiley

Good, I'm happy for you. Thanks for actually posting the results after you resolved it. More people oughta do this, it's useful to anyone else who stumbles on the thread. Smiley
76  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: This is my last chance on: March 09, 2018, 12:09:48 AM
I wouldnt see cryptocurrencies as a way to change your life so to say. They way it looks from your post makes it seem like you are playing the lottery, which I can understand completely, but I would see it more as an investment for the future. Eventually I feel cryptocurrencies might serve as a mode of stability if we see any sort of economic financial melt down (I may be wrong.) Crypto currencies are a great outlet to make a little extra money here and there but nothing to truly depend on, at least not just yet. I would recommend finding a decent job.

...Sorry for being  a bummer.
77  Other / Off-topic / Re: How to build a Telegram group with a large following? on: March 07, 2018, 11:43:49 PM
I've seen many groups do "Cross Promotion". So you promote them in your group, and in turn, they will promote you in their group. You could also advertise your group in other TG groups such as The Coin Farm (although you'd might want to check that it's cool with the moderators to avoid getting kicked from the group).

That's great advice. In the end though, content is king. Maybe having a medium / steemit account might elp with promotion as well, you can post your annouuncements on your telegram channel and link to a steemit account for further details. As long as our content is quality, you will gradually succeed.
78  Other / Off-topic / Re: Secure my ETH on: March 07, 2018, 11:34:25 PM
Hi dudes, i would like to know the best ways to secure my Ethereum, in a way that it is compatible with ERC20. I accept every type of tips!!

Myetherwallet is a good start. You can make a wallet on there and store ERC20 in that wallet as well. I would really recommend getting a hardware wallet like Trezor or Nanoledger though, you can use hardware wallets on Myeterwallet to store ERC20's and it's much more secure to store your crypto offline than it is online.
79  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Transactions from a wallet to another wallet anonymously??? on: March 07, 2018, 11:31:19 PM
Hi guys, i would like to know how to transfer ANONYMOUSLY altcoins from a wallet to another one. I read a way on internet called Bitcoin mixing, but is it safe? Do you know if there are better ways? And can i do it also with Ethereum?? Please help me !!!

No one will be able to tell who OWNS the wallet, that's the anonymous part of crypto, but if you mean you want the transaction to be fully anonymous with no wallet address data then I would recommend buying some Monero on an exchange without verification and trading it to another wallet and then selling it for whatever altcoin you are trying to buy into that wallet - It's a bit of a hassle to be honest.
80  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Wallet and mining computer? on: March 07, 2018, 11:26:25 PM

If you are going to mining on them then take the following cards:

AMD Radeon RX 470,
AMD Radeon RX 480,
AMD Radeon RX 580,
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060,
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070,
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080,
AMD Fury X.

GPU                      Payback
Radeon RX 470   -  183 day.
 Radeon RX 480    -  193 day
Geforce GTX 1060 - 193 day
Geforce GTX 1070 - 185 day
 Radeon Fury X  -    278 day




This is a bit arbitrary with the volatility of cryptocurrencies, it can change in the matter of days. Since you are doing it for fun that shouldnt matter anyways. You can use it on the same computer just be sure not to save the private keys anywhere on that pc, and make sure the mining software you are using is reputable and legitimate  - there shouldn't be any problems. Just know that if you are going to have an anti virus software on the PC is can collude with a LOT of functions of a mining rig - be sure to optimize the settings.
