How to Buy Bitcoins in Canada When it comes to buying cryptocurrency, several ways come into mind. You can either find someone close to your location and buy coins personally, search for a Bitcoin ATM, or find a trustworthy Bitcoin exchange. The latter is the most popular and reliable way to buy Bitcoin in Canada, and worldwide. Why? Because when buying Bitcoins from someone you found on the Internet, you can face scammers; ATM machines can work incorrectly, and their quantity is so low that it’s almost impossible to find them, unless you live in a truly large city. Bitcoin exchanges, on contrary, are available all over the world, provided that you have Internet connection, and, of course, money. Finally, finding a legal exchange with user-friendly interface, convenient payment methods and high security, is not as easy as it may sound. But, if you care about your funds, and still want to buy Bitcoin in Canada, it is possible. http://blog.cex.io/cryptonews/buy-bitcoins-canada-15696 This isn't news it's advertising spam. |

It doesn't make sense that miners are shutting down now. Before the block reward halving, KNCminer reprted they would have to declare bankruptcy due to their electricity costs. At a time when Bitcoin was worth ~$480, they claimed their cost per Bitcoin was $440 (this is from memory, it might have been slightly more or less) and their electricity costs were $0.196 per kWhr. I did some math and it turns out that about $200 of that cost per Bitcoin was electricity. Difficulty has not increased significantly since their announcement so after the halving, the cost per coin for electricity would be ~ $400 and the total cost per coin ~ $640. Bitcoin is still worth more than that. Also, KNC would have been the most expensive miner out there with the cost of living in Sweden and the electricity costs considered not to mention their taxes are through the roof. Consider also this:
422107 (Main Chain) 2016-07-24 16:59:14 KnCMiner 000000000000000001b63fcce1fa4b54bdf35971ac553ed7d50f97777d2963fc
Who is shutting down!? I say it's just an anomaly and is simply an extended bout of bad luck that is indicating an apparent decline in hash rate even though all the equipment is still mining. I don't believe it is caused by miners shutting down (at least not yet).
I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from KNC's decision to declare bankruptcy. They most assuredly didn't wait until they had no choice. Their decision looks to me to be more preemptive in nature. KNC must have some gear that's worth running anymore, and they can easily turn that off as they start to unwind their operations. They don't have to have a "fire sale", though liquidation companies sometime just want to get through the process of converting assets into money (fiat, not BTC). I think there is plenty of gear being turned off due to the halving. It may not be just huge farms, but a thousand farms for which a small profit isn't interesting any more. When the easy money evaporates, some folks will just quit. If they can find a buyer, then their gear will return to service somewhere. If I know KNCminer, they waited just long enough to post losses over and above what they owe to customers who are involved in the class action lawsuit. IMO , they had nothing but contempt for their customers after the first miners were sold. Maybe since the price of Bitcoin rose after the announcement, the bankruptcy trustee will be able to get some money from the sale of assets? It could still be profitable for somebody paying less for power... such as in Denmark apparently? |

0.19$/kWh can't be right. It's normal with prices around 0.07 for home residents in Norway/Sweden. Surely a huge operation like KNC had bulk prices.. Edit: Actually the electricity price is around 0.02$/kWh when not paying for the transport of power. aka buying directly from a hydroplant like KNC did. Okay let's say the price is around 0.02$/kWh to start... I had to search it out and I was slightly off the mark but here it is: http://www.breakit.se/artikel/3867/svenska-bitcoin-jatten-knc-miner-i-konkurs-konkurrensen-for-tuff and the relevant section is: Sam Cole also highlights the increasingly fierce competition - and the Swedish energy tax.
In Denmark, for example, data centers pay about 0.5 cents per kilowatt hour - in Sweden the figure is 19.2 cents per kilowatt hour.
Granted, Sam Cole has been known to embellish (a lot) and I'm still looking for the article in which he tells KNCminer's cost per Bitcoin. |

I dont know why is for somebody annoying if forum have signature campainsg allowed.That is good for forum users and users which come just to advertise their site.So the are in position win-win and forum admin is in win-win position because forum is more popular.I hate when rich peoples are moving ref link code,they hate faucet in casinos,they hate ads in forums.I cant understand their angry brain.
Illiterate. This is a great example of that. You might be literate in your 1st language, but this broken bullshit English is not worth the effort to even try to understand. 99% of posts on this forum wouldn't be worth reading--I'm not wasting a single nanosecond trying to figure out what some degenerate Indochinaman (or whatever) is trying to say in their sig spam. This is an English language forum after a Awwww... you rich guys and your angry brains just don't understand it's a win-win-win-win for these guys to post in broken English. Sir, I am by no means rich. Angry yes, but getting paid to shit all over the place to be for bitcoin enthusiasts can't be justified. I'm sorry, you know these fuckers wouldn't be posting on any English language forum if they weren't getting paid. And I highly doubt they're feeding themselves with sig earnings. Gambling is more like it, and then they come on here to ask for loans and all that other BS. Does that sound about right? That sounds spot on  |

Guys, I got a few of those GPU shirts in the mail. For the wife and me !!!! Awsome shirts. Too bad I ordered them before my wallet was compromised and that QR code is to that wallet !!! None the less, walking advertising. Nice shirts, Im impressed with the quality. Thumbs up.  Can someone quote this, I'm just a noob who must wait 360 seconds between posts, and aparently my IMG links don't work. Nice looking shirts I'm going to have to get one. As an aside, maybe you should get a black fabric marker and add a couple extra bits to the QR code just in case anyone ever tries to use it. Sharpie® makes them and they are available at walmartPersonally I would prefer to shop elsewhere and there is an awesome store in the big smoke called Above Ground Art supplies; the have a myriad of options for fabric markers/paints Above Ground Art Supplies fabric paintsMake a little square stencil of the appropriate size and use the Tee Juice™ medium point (1.2mm) or even better the broad point (12mm) marker to make it look professional. |

Are you dreaming or what, you intend to send men to space and the world beyond with just $100,000?
Not men. Digital representations of men on chips inside tiny solar powered disks littering the cosmos. |

Does anyone have any reading comprehension skills on this board? OP did not risk $370k! Op never specified hs initial deposit; merely his first successful withdrawal of $500 and his subsequent attempts.
If OP would share the inital deposit amount, we would know how much of his own money he actually lost, if any. The $370k was obtained using an exploit; I doubt this exchange ever had so much money go through it.

I can also confirm its mr White Just got a question to the other holders.. A coin dev without coins cant be a very happy dev. Maybe some of the holders should consider a donation? We all know this coin is going somewhere What about using the hard fork technique employed by Etherum devs for the the DOA conflict resolution. I'm not saying I agree with what was done but if it could be done in such a way that only the transactions containing the stolen 1.8 million coins could be wiped, it would appear seamless. What percentage of the total supply does 1.8 million coins represent? edit: fixed spelling |

BCT staff have removed the malicious links and locked my old account until I can satisfy them it's me.
Apparently this stuff happens every day around here...
It does but it is nonetheless worrisome since you are the dev of GPUcoin. Have you managed to get your own computer secured yet? Do you fully understand how your personal computer was comprimised? What steps will you take to ensure this doesn't happen to you again? Thanks Good question. My own computer is shut down. I understand something was running on my pc that copie wallet.dat files and collected passwords I typed in. The only things that were affected were things I signed into that evening.. bct, my Gmail and ccex. Everything else I entered was remember me, auto login I didn't have to type anything it was unaffected. I have set up 2fa and no more remember me I bet the fact I was so open with remember me on my pc saved alot of trouble. I'm not at liberty to divulge the security practices of gpu coin in detail. But there are major changes already happening and in the works over the next couple days. I can share with you the following. Cloud fare and advanced hack alert/malware monitoring has been implimented for www.usedgpus.Com2fa has been activated everywhere possible 2fa is coming to usedgpus.Com I need a computer for 4 main purposes. GPU coin, my business, personal use and the kids. I have bought 2 new computers and another Internet connection. The new pc are Linux based. Everything will be compartmentalized. I will not use the gpu computer for personal use. I will not use the business computer for gpu coin, whichever way you spin it my business and gpu coin will be on their own PC on a separate network from personal and kids These computers will only be running when I directly need to use them, not from my home network. The wallet links, source, and android/IOS files will be hosted by www.usedgpus.com. the links will be locked in an in editable thread. I will change the ANNs to exclude links. The only link will be to www.usedgpus.comI will only compile wallets from source on my personal pc or mine directly from pool to exchange. This has been a real eye opener. Thank god it wasn't my online banking for personal or business. Thank god they didn't steal all my porn o those funny pictures of my wife flashing her tits.... I would like to thank the hacker who reads this and who has most likely posted in the thread. It cost me only 1.1 million gpu for a hardcore lesson in security. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice.... shame on me. Thanks for the detailed reply. I am by no means a security expert but it sounds like you're covering your bases. |

Nu conteaza care alegi. Sunt amandoua bune cu privire la numerul de rails.
As alege numerul 2 pentru ca este mai eficient si are o capacitate mai mare.

What about the ANNs in other languages?
Have those links been comprised?
Okay I see they are all the same URL but in most, the direct links are broken so the text would have to be copied and pasted. It might prevent a total newb from getting hacked.
Final Edit: The links in the other language ANNs point to the original download whereas the link in this thread was changed to point to a different URL containing the malware. I originally thought the file at mega had been replaced.
This is a bad situation, Dev lost his bitcointalk account, had his personal computer compromised and lost his personal stake in GPUcoin.

This is a bad idea overall because people will do nothing but perform illegal activites on your internet connection.
While I can see your point in reminding Patrick349 that there are bad people on the internet, I resent the implication as I would not perform illegal activites with anyone's internet connection. We're not all out to take advantage of our fellow computer nerds. I'm not interested in the internet connection beyond its ability to connect me remotely to the computer. It would be nice to have some computing power when travelling as a tablet just doesn't cut it sometimes; especially this android tablet that would rather track everything I do and say so it can serve me with ads for products I have not yet realized I need with a good portion of its processing power rather than actually operating efficiently or effectively with tasks I want it to do. |

Imagine if all that Russian government money spent here on trolling, making jew hating conspiracy posts and other low quality entertainment would have been spent on feeding all the homeless on the Moscow streets? They want vodka!!! (Some have fallen to heroin and end up ruined (like with Vodka)... Vodka is dangerous!!! A better way to not spend ruble would have been not to support Assad and so no need to intervene! Yes. That would have resulted in Russia losing their only Mediterranean naval base and allows the US to box them into an ever-shrinking space. Compared to the USA, vodka is a pussy. |
