We also gained value today which is good coinbase is currently 590. So gaining around 7 dollars or so in a day not bad. Were inching closer and closer to the 600 number. I am worried a little bit that there could be some sell walls keeping 600 down for a bit. But time will tell.
Overall this is looking like it will be a good difficulty period. On the 25th we were around 450 so that is around 40 dollars in added value in one period. If we get that with a small negative or even small positive that is a great period in my book.

Yes I think what happened was someone got a list of hashes or passwords form another site (several have been breached recently) and people that were using the same email/ password on multiple sites got their Teamviewer accounts compromised. If you use 2FA and a password manager you are doing WAY more for your security than the average user!  And I really like the physical token being part of it. Getting a Yubikey is honestly a great thing requiring a person to physically be at my computer pressing a button. I really like Yubikey's at this point - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1353231.0 There is some upfront cost but for me the security I feel I get was worth it. There are other options to. I think what ever people decide to use if it's a physical token that cant be activated remotely is a great choice. |

If the yubikey is lost or misplace. How can a user get all the passcode and data saved on the yubikey?
Sorry for how long it took saw this today. It depends on the service you are using. Most you would have to go through some sort of support for example here is dropbox - https://www.yubico.com/why-yubico/for-individuals/dropbox-for-individuals/#secretI suggest having backup options where available I personally like one's that allow multiple Yubikeys to be registered where I can keep one safe incase other is lost. Some can use phone numbers, or google authenticator. But again varies a lot depending on what service you use it on. |

71C is a little high i think! isn't it?
Should be ok, my 3x S7-F1 run at 73'c ( ambient 35'c 3pm local time) for 2 months already, so far so good Keep in mind it is during summer during all of this. So for me I personally use decent fan's with high CFM's and push the air away from miners in my mining area. I'm not in a area evaporation cooling is effective. So during a pretty hot day I'm happy with it and no damage from it. At night it is already in low 60's and will get lower chances are later. Mining during summer for many like me means mining a little hotter. But the S7-F1 handles it fine so far. |

I am a 15 years old boy living in South East Asia region. I am new in bitcoin and is trying to understand it.
I am currently earning some satoshis from faucet. I would like to ask how to earn bitcoin other than faucet and gambling?
I do not need it fast but a stable income. Thanks
Edit:
I can speak & write english, chinese, malay and some Japanese
How about some advice on trading..
So you can speak & write english, chinese, malay and some Japanese. Why not to open your service about speak and write in service section ? i think it's a good idea man. This honestly is the best idea in thread as far as I think OP can do currently. I know OP wanted advice on trading but it takes investment in most cases. Either mining or direct buying of Bitcoin. Thinking of mining I would ask OP what is your electricity price? After having you might get some good deals on gear if you have cheap electricity. But going back to your ability to speak/write 4 languages. Go to services board and start a thread offering this service. It is of no cost to you so all pure profit if you get any job's. You might offer a few for free to get a little of a following. Hard to say how much you earn if any... but worth a shot. |

oh.... so if i switch loptops or computers or im forced to format.... i would have to make that wallet again... okay.. so i should just sweep it all into a new wallet
thnks
im off to try all these new solutions
Not really. Either way, whether you sweep or you import, you'll need the private key to be backed up to not lose your coins. If you import, you should back up either the private key itself or the Electrum wallet file. If you sweep, you'll need to back up the electrum wallet file. Either way, both require a backup to prevent loss. I would run virus scan's and malware scans before doing anything. Also treat this private key like gold, as it allows anyone with it to access your bitcoins. So say computer is compromised when you copy/paste or screen is being captured by malware ... you could lose it all. I highly suggest after you get it moved over making a paper wallet with it and store off of a computer. Maybe even a USB drive that is offline. Have multiple copies and store safely. Depending on where you live you can get a safty deposit box at a bank that easily stores a piece of paper and usb stick for pretty cheap yearly. |

Hey, I saw you already have your own signature. Is it worth is as a Newbie member? Thanks
My suggestion for everyone is wait till full member. At this time normally is the biggest jump in pay, so you are not losing a lot by waiting. Most that pay for newbie or low level posts are very small payments. Also by waiting it gives you time to learn which is HUGE here. I still learn something daily on the site I would say. When just beginning find what you enjoy for me it's mining and learn all you can about it. Then by say full member you have knowledge that might be able to help other's. Also it gives you time to learn how to make a good constructive post that helps. If you have a signature it is a target for ban's if you do "one liners", or just utter crap posts. You are held to a higher standard to not say things like "+1", "Thanks for help", basically things that add nothing to thread. So yes go for it but wait till full member is my advice ( I even waited till hero.. should have started sooner but I never got into it till later). |

Guys please give me some tips or advice if how will I know if a site is a Scam or might turn into a Scam? I always got scammed before from some HYIP sites. I wanted to avoid it.
Honestly it all comes down to common sense in most cases. Does something guarentee a insane return? Or sound to good to be true. If so chances are it is to good to be true. Sadly there are things like HYIP and most cloud mining sites that sound great.... but will cause a loss in bitcoins you own in the end. But just ask yourself if someone could be making X amount with what ever they are peddling... why would they need my money or want share profit with me? In most cases it is that they are a scam. |

Hopefully anyone using Teamviewer has changed their password, and isn't using the same password for multiple sites.
With everything going on with Teamviewer in the last couple weeks, it would certainly not be a fun time to lose a bunch of bitcoins if your account got compromised.
They claim to not be at fault and like you said was caused from people using same password to many sites. I STRONGLY suggest people use a good password manager. I personally use one that requires a master password and a physical token (a Yubikey). So for someone to access my password manager they need to be physically at my PC and know my master password and then physically hit a button on my Yubikey. Needless to say I have not been breached in past month (or anytime) with teamviewer. Also not using the same email for every single thing helps to. |

First time miner, so excited to get new miner
Avalon 6 miner with 1200w power supply
New unit from China. Arrived with in two weeks.
Packaged will and everything I needed in the box.
Went through the straight forward connections
Log in and see the miner is not working
Go into advanced and see the connection has failed
All powered on
Fan Running on power supply and miner
Miner goes through start up - fan to full power and back to idle
Green flashing light on miner - this means trying to detect mcu and fan
Usb adaptor ACU LED is blue, which means stand by.
Advanced settings
Cgminer API Log
Socket connection failed - connection failed
I have gone through basic checks
12v on all connections
Rasberry Pi powered on and working correct
Changed out some usb cables
Maybe firmware issues?
Any feed back would be great!
On the status screen does it see miner? Did you get a kit with RPI with your miner or did you make it from image online? If so what image did you use? Might be of some use long ago was my setup - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1257327.0 |

Thanks for the replies.
My neighbor is an electrician, but I think it would be safer and easier just to go with the EVGA SuperNOVA 1600 G2. I didn't know it had 9 PCI-e connectors.
Thanks again guys!
Good PSU's are not a bad thing to have around they will likely still have value even if you decide to sell it one day. I highly suggest keeping all packaging/box/etc and put in corner if for if you sell that is what I did with all my old ATX PSU's. If you get into it getting a proper 220/240 with PDU is very nice to have. You might check before you spend that kinda money on PSU if your neighbor would do it for decent. And I had some help from Phil which I'm still grateful to him for on my 240. Depending on your local laws/ordinances you might be able to do it yourself. I was lucky living on farm out of city where it was not an issue. |

I recently found this new cloud mining service: https://bitminister.comI think they are fairly new and IMO what they offer is too good to be true. Probably one more ponzi scam... I wanted to confirm their presence in the blockchain but I don't know how to do that. Does anyone has any more info on these guys? Site is down for me. Did not even bring anything up. But sadly almost all are scams, I would not go with a "new" cloud mining service no matter what. If you want cloud mining go to hashnest, owned by bitmain. It's honestly as legit as you are going to get. Personally though I like to own equipment... so might look into buying and hosting. Looking at it as whois looks like a UK PO box to me. Which I could be wrong... not totally sure on that. But site was just created on: Created Date: 2016-04-17 so in a month and a half getting up a hosting center... possible but unlikely. But take a look yourself: https://whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name=bitminister.com |

The miner is still running good been running around 3 weeks at this point. I did have a storm which knocked out power, which does not happen often here. Not a way I want to power it off, but unit handled losing power and worked fine afterwards. Below you can tell it was after storm due to day's resetting: |

The first presumption is that the new RX 480 will actually be availaibly in quantity - track record of the GTX 1080 is making that look kinda iffy right now.
The second presumption is that folks will be able to get RX 480 at close to it's list price - I suspect that will not happen for a month or two, "new card gouge on price" is an old tradition even when the availability is pretty good.
On the other hand, unless you can get a current card pretty cheap, it MIGHT make some sense to "wait and see" what actually happens on availability, pricing, and how well the RX 480 can mine in fact as opposed to the current "speculation only" situation.
S9 though is DEFINITELY a "wait for price to come down and competiton to show up" situation IMO - the current price is a ripoff, though I'm sure Bitmain intends to sell as many units at the current crazy-high pricing as they can while they can to help pay for the development costs on the new chip.
I'm NOT saying I BLAME them for the pricing, as there's good business logic behind "charge as much as the customers will bear while we can", just that I'm not willing to pay that large of an early adopter premium myself on a miner that will probably be profitable for years.
*Hopefully* I was planning on buying 2 RX480s for my computer build next month, won't be using for mining but they will free up my other R9 290X and ill probably just use them for mining ETH if i get that going. Other than that though I dont plan on spending anymore money out of pocket until I get what I have now up and running for atleast a month. I think it could be a smart idea. QuintLeo is right i am speculating that it hit's street on time, and is not jacked up on price. Since we have not really seen selling out of GPU's like we did during LTC day's... I think it will be a little more mild. But I could be wrong. Also ETH difficulty will go up (hard to say how much) so waiting could hurt on that. But hopefully new cards are faster and help some with this, but we don't know. But value wise the new GPU's should hold value better with being brand new if you have to sell them. |

Right now, your best choice *IF* you have enough money for 3-4 of them would be the S9 - but IMO wait for the price to come down some.
They'll do the best job of "loading up" your amount of free power the most efficiently - and nobody has announced anything that can top their efficiency by a noticeable degree, much less has anything competative in production RIGHT NOW as a miner.
Thanks for advise. I actually already thought about waiting for the price to come down. I think before I'll gather sufficient information about the rigs the price will come down Honestly I would start off small to. If your budget is 5k I would not go all out right away. Get less gear and make sure you have enough money for cooling, shelving, PDU, etc (depends on your setup). But if you start out small it's easier to add more and you can do it hopefuly easily and you will know your setup's limits. One of the worst thing for miners is buying them and not having all parts ready, so you have downtime. |

Gear is turning back on, looks like "they" are aiming for another ~level adjustment period. I think we'll be about like this until the halving as the big guns swap out all the old gear for new.
I really want to see the hashing number after having. I think there are some machines like A1's, and such that have been hanging around on very low priced electricity. I think having we could lose some gear (which is good as far as those who have newer gear). Guess we have to wait and see. The BTC price right now is around 583 so a little increase from yesterday but not the surge I was hoping. |

you can also try to look around and find some interesting alt coin and make some trade to btc just like trading investment mate while you are looking around here kindly check alt section announcement and micro earnings there's some info how to get free coins and exchange it to a promising alts then work on it and study some details i assure you it is a enjoyable learning stage for you. good luck mate.
Right now bitcoin is kinda surging so I kinda am weary of moving to much BTC to altcoins. I think there is a possibility to miss the having surge if you have in other coins. And to be honest a lot of altcoins are pump/dump and end up at a loss in the end. Personally watching BTC over past month... I want to keep most there just a lot of stability. Only altcoin I find intersting is Ether as it allows people to mine currently even with high electricity price. It is the only profitable altcoin to mine in many cases. If it gets more adoption could equal big returns. But it again is riskier then just leaving it in bitcoin I think. So worth looking into and maybe investing some (or possibly mine some I personally love mining it's what keeps me coming back to this site). I honestly would not waste time with faucets and micro earnings as most of it will end up being dust and getting you very little compared to time spent. I personally would pick up a skill with the time you can sell or use twords a job and buy cons with your "day job". I know I picked up a book to learn recently and chances are I will gain more reading it then I would spending the hours on micro earnings. |

Thanks a lot guys! Currently trying a bunch of stuffs here and as for buying my own bitcoins, Where do you think should I Invest it? A good for newbie one.
Realize it's not a "get rich quick scheme". It is a high risk/high reward investment. We are very very early in digital currency so everything is pretty new still. Do I think bitcoin will go up? Yes long term I believe this very much. BUT I would say not to put more investment then you are able to lose to be safe. Right now it's all speculation. With having most think it will go up, which it really has over past month or so. How high will it go and how fast? That is a guess or speculation. It could drop just as fast as it rises (I don't think it will but it could). So if you have the money and don't mind buying and holding... yes I think it is a good investment for most. |

Does anyone know if this forum can be added to Tapatalk?
I use it on my iphone for a few other forums im a member of, but it wont find this site, only bitcoinforums.net
can you add this forum to tapatalk? If you make this, please tell me how You had found the official anwser in meta you bumped: This has been discussed before, here's an official answer: - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=857011.0The Tapatalk modification is a massive amount of code that is clearly messing with the security system. I don't have time to review all of this code, so I will not apply it.
Considering source I would say it's safe to say it is a feature not even going to be added. |

If you have a router/modem combo then I've heard those can be quite restrictive and just outright bad for managing a lot of connections, even though miners really do not use very much of the network at all.
All depends on what one you get, in this case it was not a problem of restriction but of losing connection. Some combo's supposedly are very nice if you get gigabit internet it takes a decent modem/router to handle it. In my case it was very restrictive on combo though. It stopped some ports I used at one time when using sites that I could allow people to rent my hash, also part of my security system. What I did and others can to is call you dls/cable company and tell them of problems and say you want a passthrough mode on modem. If they are a good ISP they will work with you and you can use your own Router. That is what I did and ended up getting a blackhawk router which has done pretty darn well overall. So I'm happy with my gigabit internet on my own modem. But did take ISP to enable passthrough to allow this. |
