Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP.

I am more excited by the "collapsing" part atm.

Checked the gold price. Ouch! But that's just the jobs report, which is smoke and mirrors. Still, compared to Bitcoin gold is sinking like a brimstone.

participation rate at 35 yr lows. 

i think i might decide to become part of the group that lets the rest of you feed me.

here is one of my favorites:

As much as I hate QE, I have been vindicated and cypherdoc was wrong. There you go... finally.

Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP.

if you've been paying attention, there have been long periods of time where i couldn't recursively use that term throughout this thread b/c of the inevitable counter trend rallies and trolling that came with it.

only recently, not so much.

and it's only going to get worse.

I have been using bfgminer  since i received my bitfury instead of chainminer and find its a lot more stable and seems to work fine with all the pools i have tried as it does  stratum itself there is no need for the proxies.

 

This seems reasonable to me as I am a long term cgminer user.

Any tips on how to set it up?

Thank you Blitz.

I love that picture
7767  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] US/North American Bitfury sales now open ***full prototype pics*** on: November 08, 2013, 12:32:02 PM
Anyone here solo mining with slush's stratum locally?

It uses vardiff. Now the 8889 port monitor shows zero hashing while chainminer  has been showing a stable 550 all night Sad
7768  Economy / Speculation / Re: Nagle on: November 08, 2013, 12:17:28 PM
You see, Blitz knows just how fond I am about Nagle.

Where's that Crying Man picture?

It's your turn Blitz.

Oh look, this thread again.

There should be a spot for it under your worker settings for the Pool. I dont know where they are for Ozcoin, but I know Bitminter has them under the worker config.



Now if I can only get it to connect to a pool. I tried all the addresses for ozcoin and noneof them work as I  said above. Frankenmint is having trouble too.
7771  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] US/North American Bitfury sales now open ***full prototype pics*** on: November 08, 2013, 05:36:08 AM
thanks for the pic taco.

i really don't get this.  i've got stable speeds right now around 550 GH/s in the BF GUI yet my stratum pool monitor shows btwn 78.8 and 193 GH/s.  it's been consistently showing this disparity.  

problem is that my Avalons show consistently accurate readings on this same stratum pool monitor of 82-84 GH/s and in its cgminer GUI.

Did you adjust the Difficult for the BF? Just a thought not sure if it helps.

no i haven't.  i assumed the settings for my avalons would apply to the BF's but i might be wrong.

what's the party line for diff for the BF's and where is it adjusted ?

Got antsy, so I cranked down the voltage on the trimpot to 0.840 V on my card that always shuts off.  I'll see if this makes the card last any longer.

Note for users: use a tiny philips screw driver and turn right to increase voltage, left to decrease voltage.

can you give us a pic of the trimpot?
7774  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: [ANN] US/North American Bitfury sales now open ***full prototype pics*** on: November 08, 2013, 12:29:51 AM
anyone successfully connect to ozcoin or slush?  if so, what addresses are you using?  for instance, my typical addresses to connect aren't working:  stratum.ozco.in:3333, us.ozco.in:3333, stratum+tcp://stratum.ozco.in:3333.

my solo mining stratum port monitor 8889 hashrate shows a huge discrepancy vs. the hashrate advertised in the BF GUI.  i'd like to connect to a pool to see if i see the same discrepancy.

i have the entire Bank 1 at zero hashing (first 4 slots)  Sad  i have 3 140mm fans and one large box fan blowing at it.

have v2.2 H boards with v3 M board.  doesn't matter which H boards go into those slots.

any suggestions?

I'd assume a problem with the M-board. RMA?

i can't think of anything else.

Why is it so hard for the naysayers to realize that there's a worldwide infrastructure being built around this technology, and that this isn't just a silly stupid pretend "stock market" situation happening?

Adoption and faith in the purpose of this new currency is why the value will stabilize and continue to rise. 

Long after the initial rush.

you can't appreciate the level of negativity during the Great Depression of late 2011.  let alone the animosity towards Bitcoin.

take some time to appreciate the content of these necros.  there's plenty more where these came from.

this one has some nasty's too.

yikes.
7779  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Shrinking - The Long View on: November 07, 2013, 11:36:08 PM
The long term trend for bitcoin value is contraction, not expansion.

Here's the fact of the matter:

+ Bitcoin just enjoyed more media exposure over the past 3 months than can reasonably be expected to occur anywhere in the near future. There's just nothing newsworthy forthcoming unless there is something scandalous that happens again, and we're just about out of interesting scandals. We've made the rounds from illegal purchasing to hacking to market failures.
  There's just nothing left to get the attention of corporate media. The fact is that no-one cares about bitcoin as a medium of exchange, except a small core constituency of idealists here on these forums. It HAD newsworthy spectacle value as prices skyrocketed and people "got rich quick," but those times are over.  There is nothing left of newsworthy value.

+ The price run-up happened SOLELY on hype alone. There's not much analysis that needs to be done here. It was clearly a bubble that started with the Silk Road coverage, inflated with the mining craze, and ended with the Gox scandal. That's it folks. Bitcoin jumped the shark 3 weeks ago.

+ The current "stability" is no such thing. There is no stability when there's no backing economy.  The only "stability" we're seeing is roughly the same sub 10-15,000 (could be exceedingly lower, and possibly a bit higher though doubtfully) "investors" propping up the price and using trading bots to maintain the appearance of a functioning market and "stability."
  The fact is that the market has been on a slow and steady DECLINE ever since Gox came back online. This is because there is no new blood entering the market, just the same old speculators throwing more of their paychecks into it; BUT, not enough to grow the market. That's why were seeing a steady loss of a few cents of USD value everyday. And this will continue for the long haul.

+ Echoing the same dilemma of 3 months ago when bitcoin began catching on with speculators, "Where is the bitcoin economy."  Well folks, this is it. The list of bitcoin merchants hasn't grown at all, and in fact if you browse the Trade section of bitcoin.org itself, and explore some of the merchants there you'll find that some of them have removed their bitcoin advertisements and no longer APPEAR to accept it. I encourage you to peruse them and see for yourself, because during that excercise you'll also see that basically all businesses listed are extremely small time, mom and pop shop operations, and most of them quite amateur at that.  That is your bitcoin economy. That is what you have to work with now, and for any reasonable foreseeable future.

This is not a thread about the speculation of bitcoin's future, these are the facts.



Lol maybe some of my coins were once yours!
BTC

Synaptic was one of the worst trolls around BitcoinTalk. 

he was relentless and used all sorts of foul language.  i battled him more than once.

what happened to him?

Anything planned for quintuple digits? (+10,000%)

a party?

actually, i should have one once we hit gold parity. Wink

The Parity Party.  has a ring to it.
