Like the title said.. I would like to buy $200 worth of bitcoin.. I used to go purchase from bitcoin ATM machine but they charge way too much.
If you're going to an ATM and prepared to use MoneyGram and BOA cash deposit, you obviously aren't worried about hiding your identity so why not simply sign yourself up for a BTC exchange and buy it through there as required? |

You know what'd be way better than that? If all the users who get the connection error would quit hammering the server with requests, pinging the fucking server to see if she's alive and duplicating the complaint threads when they finally get a connection (in the wrong section to boot). Discussion about the board should be in Meta.  |

There are probably some users who have a Gekko Science (Sidehack made USB) for sale if you ask in one of the threads.
They are definitely well-made little USB miners. Worth paying a few dollars more for them IMO.
You can definitely find cheaper USB miners to practice with as well if you are just trying to learn how mining works.
Yeah 50 euro seems pretty damn pricey for a stick miner even if its sidehacks. True. True. In fairness, his price is $30 US but I don't think he ships to the EU for individual orders. I shipped around 7 of the 25 I had. Mostly to the UK. I HAVE one left . Keeping it for review against the two chips units. Do you remember the shipping cost to the UK? |

Thanks, I'll look into this one.
That EU site is sold out unfortunately.
EDIT: They'll have a newer 2x one in stock at the end of Feb.
The new one give you the ability to change the clock rate and voltage a bit which means it could draw more than the maximum current of a standard USB 2.0 port which is 0.5 watts so it would be better to use it in a USB 3.0 port which has a max current rating of 0.9 watts. I'm currently looking for the same thing. However, I too plan on using a laptop however it is a nice laptop with a 1060 gpu that I just purchased for gaming/work. I'm afraid that using a USB miner will burn the
components and cause damage. Will using a USB miner cause this kind of harm to my laptop or no?
Version 1 of the miner should not harm your laptop even on a USB 2.0 port but it draws 2.5 watts so it will drain your battery so you shouldn't leave it running if the laptop isn't plugged in to external power. If you get version 2 of the stick miner, it would be better to use a USB 3.0 port or a powered USB 3.0 hub if you plan to play with the settings because that one could draw more than the rated current on a USB 2.0 port and potentially damage your laptop. I think the whole point of a USB ASIC miner is to take the hard work away from the GPU (or CPU).
Unless there's a way of running separate mining jobs on both GPU and ASIC, I don't think a USB miner will damage your laptop at all, as the GPU won't even be used.
Whether a USB miner does a better job than a GPU for mining I don't know. It's certainly more customised for mining than a GPU is, and I'd imagine far more efficient.
But I don't have enough experience on this and welcome any corrections. Perhaps a GPU is still better in terms of raw hash rate.
These stick miners are specifically designed for SHA256 (like Bitcoin) mining. They will kick the ass of any GPU in existence for this purpose. The chips on the miner do all of the hard work but you still have to run a small program on your computer in order to send work to it and connect to a pool for mining so there is a requirement to use some of the CPU cycles of the connected computer. |

Before you can run, you must first learn to walk so it's best if you learn how to mine with pen, paper and your brain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3dqhixzGVo You wont make much money at this stage of the game but you'll be much wiser. |

Thanks for all the replies and the offers of coins.
Im still after some more so please get in touch.
xhomerx@ cheers for stopping by and for the words of wisdom i appreciate it. You dont by any chance at all have any btc for sale, do you? I dont just solely use paypal but it is my preferred payment method.
Cheers
No problem. I'm currently in accumulation mode so I don't have any to sell. |

Did anyone bet on this? Haven't watched the whole inauguration, only parts of it and didn't hear any mention of 'fake news'.
On a side note: How do they even calculate the odds of something like this?
Been watching the whole affair today and he hasn't said "Fake News" yet. Edit: He just finished the post inaugural dinner speech, it was short and sweet and he thanked Bill and Hillary for being there and said he had a lot of respect for "these two people". He's running out of time to say "Fake News". |

God bless America.
Now America can be saved only by a miracle. Welcome to hell! Trump is the punishment of the Americans. I hope they will be worthy of this test and Trump will do what is necessary to the Americans. I don't think America's situation as grave as you make it. There are many great people behind the republic. So long Barack Hussein Obama II and thanks for the service.   Donald J Trump signing on:  |

Solving blocks is probabilistic so this is perfectly normal behaviour. If blocks were solved at regular intervals, Bitcoin itself would be suspect.

It is quite clear that I was pointing out the hypocrisy of your stance on free speech. "Truth" and "free speech" are not synonymous. That being said, devthedev actually wrote the truth by your own admission and you're bitching about it. You might change your sig to "I'm a hypocrite and I'm proud of it".

Recently I was left a negative feedback by devthedev based on his personal dislike toward me: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1696031.msg17388605#msg17388605This forum has always attracted me with free speech - it is one of the places where it's possible freely discuss different things/issues which other "free speech" forums do not tolerate. Well, maybe I'm a bigot and racist but it's not a reason to leave negative feedback for it because it's supposed to be used to show one's trust, not political/religious views or personal dislikes. What if I leave someone a negative feedback for being a feminist just because I don't like feminists? I conciser this movement harmful. Would it be fair? What do you thank about such "feedback"? Any comment from mods/admins? "Something you don't like doesn't mean bad." This reads to me as though you want to have your free speech while simultaneously censoring another's. "Smells like leftist butthurt" - Greed |

You can buy any amount btc fast from us.
OP said his preferred method is PayPal and you don't accept Paypal. OP has 240lbs (sterling) and PayPal. Why would a person waste money exchanging cash for Krill, Short Shrift, Nutella, Perfectly Funnimunni, Dweebmoney, Paineer or whatever only to turn around and pay more fees to exchange that for Bitcoin? It doesn't make sense. |

I can do this for PayPal, please PM me if you're still interested.
OP said closer to the going market rate. I believe your rates are much higher. N.B. OP, Never mention the speed at which you want coins. |

Evening people,
Im after some BTC (about 240 gbp worth) from a trusted member here, could anyone help?
I can pay a number of different ways but would prefer paypal for ease of use, you can rest assured im as trustworthy as they come.
Thanks
Your account is Newbie and PayPal is reversible so nobody will rest assured you are as trustworthy as they come. What other ways were you considering paying? LocalBitcoins ( beware of scammers with purchased trusted/verified accounts) is probably your quickest bet, failing that, find yourself a Bitcoin ATM. You can also try buying with a credit card but the rates are astronomical and the limits are insanely low - not sure you could buy 240lbs today. |

Wow interesting.
I think we misunderstood each other a bit in question 7), but your answer just taught me soo much more than I had expected. I think the misunderstand is caused by my idea that blocks were gathered and controlled by the coinbase and not by the pool, so this brings up a couple of more questions. Again thanks for the help:
8 ) So is it correct that the individual pool (or in solo mining cases, the miner) that gathers each transaction in to blocks and then hashes that block for the block reward and transaction fee?
9) If each pool/miner chooses what transactions to put in their blocks (ofcourse prioritizing those with the highest fees attached to them), are there then a large "sea" of unconfirmed transactions with too low fees?
10) Is it correct to assume that a block must contain 232*D hashes of transactions before it can be hashed, or what controls that each block contains the necessary amount of transactions in order to claim the block reward?
I will now roll the dice and hope that the troll will continue to sleep soundly in his cave.
 Yes. That is exactly what the miners (pool or solo) do. 9)The number of unconfirmed transactions varies but there are usually some unconfirmed transactions on the network. It could be a large amount but not necessarily. You can check that number here. Blockchain.info has many Bitcoin queries available online - https://blockchain.info/q10) No. The block only needs to contain one transaction called the coinbase transaction. The data within the block of transactions gets hashed (it's a little complicated) into a what's called a merkle root. This hash is added to the block header which contains specific information about the block including the winning hash of the previous block and its nonce in order to secure it into the block chain. Now that block header gets hashed while incrementing the nonce on each successive attempt until the miner obtains a number less than the current target. This would be a winning hash and the miner that finds it gets the reward. In order to do that, billions of hashes are required but not stored. |

Is the last line of excel dependent on the amount of RAM a PC equips? Or is it set to a random predetermined variable?  it's a software coded value. Yes, predetermined but I wouldn't say it's random.... Although it is Microsoft so anything is possible. |
