Are you good with faces? I want to send you a picture of my friend and make him a pretty little girl with make-up on... the prettier the better. 

Then I am going to post that shit all over Facebook because he broke my goddamn couch this weekend.

Tonight I'd go with the Bears.  I'm a Cowboys fan but their MO has been to get your hopes up and then just kind of barely do enough to get into the playoffs.  McCown should play well enough against Dallas' pass defense.

Well one of us is going to be happy!  I'm going all in on the Cowboys after losing pretty much every bet yesterday lol

What a crazy ass day for NFL action!  Lost both of my big bets today, but hell, that happens sometimes.

NFL Picks of the Week:

Indianapolis Colts v Cincinnati Bengals
Indianapolis Colts (+7)
-105

risking 0.2btc to win 0.3905btc

Detroit Lions v Philadelphia Eagles
Detroit Lions ML
+121

risking 0.2btc to win 0.4420btc


Opinion:
For some reason I just have a feeling that if the Bengals win, it will be by a last minute drive.  I'm also taking the Colts ML but they can find ways to screw up a game.  The 7 points made me feel good with them but the spread on the ML is enticing if you want to take it, too.

Detroit needs the win more than the Eagles.  The latter of which seems almost certain to be facing Dallas for a NFC East Championship game in Week 17.  The Bears could beat the Cowboys tomorrow and Detroit needs to take care of business tonight to put NFC North firmly in their control.  Should be a high scoring affair in Detroit, but I don't think Foles and the line can hold up to an angry Detroit D-Line.


History:
3-0-0 +0.8069BTC (+192%)

Stupid old man here... no idea what I am doing with ASIC mining.  

I have been doing Scrypt mining and have no clue how to get this P2Pool working, but I am expecting to receive an ASIC Miner Cube soon and I will likely need help setting it up.  Paying .01btc and the first 24 hours of mining profits will be directed to a Bitcoin address of your choosing if you helping me set up the Cube and get it running properly at 35GH/s or higher.  PM me for more details.
Perhaps this guide could be of use to you?

To be honest, I have read it a few times and I understand some of it, but I still think it is going to take me like a week or two to set it up.  That is not acceptable lol

Disagree.

The Cube will give you a positive return on investment.  I'll even document the proof when mine arrives next week.  I paid 1BTC for it and at 38GH/s it should mine over 1BTC in approximately 45-60 days.

If difficulty increase is limited to 25% per jump then you'll break even in 75 days.  Higher than that and it doesn't look good.

Do you have the numbers on that?  I think I have numbers that prove otherwise, but they are on my work computer and I won't have access to them until Monday.

Thanks Smiley

Thanks a bunch for the detailed reply.
Mining LTC is definitely profitable, I know that. I was referring to Bitcoin.. Anything I'm missing there?
increase in difficulty in Jan + Feb combined with shipping dates = sucks to be btc miners?

I am not exactly sure that the ASIC production is at the point where the difficulty will continue going up 40%+ much longer.

Difficulty gains of 40%+ are very rare, but they just happened twice in October.  In November they went back down to 16-25% and if they stay in this range, then it actually doesn't suck to be a BTC miner depending on what the $/GH cost is... no idea what the golden ratio would be right now, but I am going to be doing some research on this when I have more free time after Christmas.

1) difficulty change
2) price change


You will never get any ROI.

Disagree.

Scrypt mining is wildly profitable now, but I don't have the hard numbers on it.  I'm working on a few things, but I am trying to hash (no pun intended) out all of the details on the outline, but hopefully I will have a more informative site available in the near future that puts these silly rumors to rest.

Some devices can be profitable, some never will be.  Others will require you to buy it, mine with it, and then sell it and hope to get a profit that way.  But it's possible with all of them, it just takes research and initiative.

damn how u feel about +1ku -2.5 bulls and ML heat

Or just give me for sure picks *_* i need to bet 2 to win $

Honestly, I'm not feeling it right now with the NBA.  I haven't been watching because we have been iced in and that makes me drink a lot of whiskey.

Bulls -2.5 seems like a good one though.
652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: *******CROWDCAPPER.COM*******Sports betting Picks - ( RECORD 421-114-30) on: December 07, 2013, 05:56:07 PM


But isn't +0 same thing as ML

Yes it is... and that's what I took for my bet, just figured it would make more sense as Kansas ML than Kansas +0 lol

Why do you keep hearing mining is unprofitable?
Because, mining really is unprofitable, when you take electricity costs and increasing difficulty into consideration.

Another sockpuppet that doesn't understand math...
Sad



Perhaps you could use your condescending tone to enlighten us as to the profitability of it?

With the expected spike in difficulty, and the shipping time of the ASICs out there, how is one to make a profit?

Also an answer comprised of more than 1 line would be great.

Sorry for the condescending tone, but I have already explained this in several threads many times over.  I'll copy and paste from a previous post I made a few days ago.  I am planning on making a website explaining this information because it seems too many people are misinformed.

Also, Scrypt mining is now directly related to Bitcoin as sites like middlecoin.com exist where you hash Scrypt directly for Bitcoin and not some shit alt-coin.

I will probably buy 3 Used amd 7950 for around 200$ each in Sweden new 7950 cost around 400$ so it's tio much i already got à CPU ram etc i Will only need to buy a motherboard and some cables
I got totally free electricity how
Much should I expect to get in 1 month and when does Asics
come to scrypt

1) You can use this information to find the hashrate for your cards that you want to use:

https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison

As you can see you should expect 600-700kH/s with those cards... if you get 3 then you can expect 1.8-2.1MH/s.  Then go to a calculator like this one:

https://www.litecoinpool.org/calc?hashrate=2000&difficulty=1964.83427079&power=&energycost=0.10&currency=USD

And you can plug in the numbers.  You should get right around 1LTC a day which is worth about $40 right now.

2) ASICs will never come to Scrypt.  Something new will come along before someone takes the time and money to properly develop a Scrypt ASIC.  Of course, I hope I am wrong on that.

Smiley It is not so easy, If you want GPU mine, check your electricity rates and use mining calculator before buying GPUs Wink

That is an understatement.  GPU mining can be very tedious, time consuming, and frustrating.  It can take several trips to electronics stores to find parts, and then wait times on ordering supplies like risers, PSU cables, etc.  But it can also be quite fun and definitely profitable.  I don't know anywhere in the world that the electricity rates would be so high as to you not turn a profit if you don't factor in the cost of the GPU.  And I don't factor that in because most of the GPUs still retain their value through resale.  The 5850 I bought in April for $60 will still sell for about $60 today.

3x5850 = 1MH/s hashrate and supplied on 850W PSU, if 850W is used 24/7 for a month, the profit expected is:

.491 LTC a day * 30 days = 14.73 LTC = $534 at current price

Total kilowatt hours used during the month = 30(days) x 24(hours) x .850 (kilowatts per hour) = 612 KW hours*
*it will be lower than this since I don't think it's possible for a 850W PSU to constantly draw 850W from the wall, but we will just say that it does anyways

For a mining rig of this nature to be unprofitable then your electricity would have to be $0.87/KW hour or higher.  In comparison, the typical high average that I have seen is $0.15-0.25 which would mean you are turning electricity into 300-600% of the cost of straight up buying the coins.

I see absolutely no reason why anyone would have idle miners at this time, and cannot for the life of me understand why so many people can blindly say "mining is not profitable anymore"
