Hello, I wish to give myself a Christmas present this year! As I earned some money with btc trading I wanted to reinvest it in bitcoin mining, as my way to contribute and learn some things. Numerous selling offers can be found on Amazon but I saw a few posts that said it was better to buy on the forum. So I'm here to know if some of you guys have some miners for sale. For information, I want to start with something rather cheap, so no offer above 200$ will be considered. I'm from France, so it may not worth it if you're from US ^^ From France with love ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hello all,
I'm not really new to bitcoin but I'm not a technical expert. I already had the project of setting up my own little farm, but from what i saw it's pretty hard to reach ROI in "normal" conditions.
But an opportunity arrised from a small building that i can use, close to a river. The building is near a waterfall and i thought about using it to create free power. I'm an engineer and think i can handle the electricity production part. But i need advices on the farm part ^^
To be short: -I've got a secured place with enough space for more or less anything -I've got a free electricity but with a limited power output, i don't know exactly how much but i don't think i'll produce more than 10kW.
What's the best mining devices i should use? Do you have any advice on setting up a little personnal farm?
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

I trust the most Kraken, Btc-e and Poloniex.
Word of advice for you OP, you say that you are not a risky trader but you wish to hold $1,000 on the exchange. This is about 3 BTCs and that's quite a lot of money to hold on a single exchange, especially if these are all of the bitcoins that you hold!
God forbid that exchange goes bust, you would lose all of your money!
To be precise i hold 3.7 btc here and I agree that's a lot of money but it's no use to trade with less, unless you do risky trades (which i don't) ^^ But it's not all I hold, and you're right I don't want to put evrything in the same basket, that's why I was asking this question =)

How long does the support take most of the time? I'm in need of some help but I don't want to harass them if they usually take some time to answer ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Ok thanks for all your answers, you're right of course oppening a thread like this wasn't of any use... I think I panicked a bit yesterday ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Thanks for all your kind answers/advices, someone can close the thread (not sure i can do so) and have a good day!

Hey guys, I have a major problem. I automaticaly cashed out my btc of cex.io (it was an automatic payout i set a year ago but didn't change it between). So i have a deposit address leading me to an old primedice account but i just can't remember the password and didn't set up a mail... I assume there is no magic trick to take me out of this deep sh** I'm in ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) But if anyone has anykind of idea, I'm buying it, it was quite a huge amount!

Bfxdata are Bitfinex data. This exchange gives users the possibility to fund margin account at a give rate. To summarize you are paid to lend your money to others users who want leverage. https://www.bitfinex.com/pages/featuresWow! I didn't know it existed... But isn't it a bit strange? I mean what is the point? If you lend your coins for somebody else to trade, you're the one taking the risk (it's your coins they're betting) but you'll only get parts of the profit. So why going with that solution?

More on Bfxdata -> buy when BTC price trend is up after decrease in Flash Return rate (FRR). It means more users are funding margin call accounts to satisfy demand for leveraging (i.e. sentiment become bullish).
Thanks a lot for all those informations, but personnally i don't understand a thing ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

Ok well thanks for your answers! I'll still trade with cex as they have been incredibly reactive and friendly, they answer my question and technical problems in less than 30 min on average so I can't really wish better ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) But it seemed important (and you comfirmed it) to spread my investments. From what you say i keep Bittrex and Kraken in mind. Are they only for btc or do they have some altcoin too? I don't know a lot about altcoins so I'm not going to trade them often (especially as they're even more volatile than btc) but I'd like to have the possibility. Thanks for your returns again!

I firmly believe in a near btc price rise, because of the coming halving and the black friday trend (more than 1000$ last year) and i saw something strange on cex.io:
As you see the market depht is closing, a week before there was much more sell order than buy orders, now it's 830btc buy order vs 710 btc sell order.
It means more people want to buy than to sell, logically the prise will go up.
It wont matter much, since CEX only has 0.31% ($ 101,239 ) of the market volume as per CoinMarketCap. It's too little to be significant. Of course, it's another story if you'd see the same trend in OkCoin, BitFinex, and BitStamp, which when combined has greater than a third of market volume. You see i absolutely didn't think about that. Which makes my argument rather useless indeed. Thanks for the precision!

Hey guys,
currently i'm handling a bit more than 1000$ of btc on cex.io and i would like to know if you'd recommend me other marketplace where i could trade? I don't like to put my assets in one place.
I don't do risky trade, i don't care if there is a correct amount of fee because i don't look for numerous scalpel trades, i want a place safe secured where i know i'll be able to withdraw my benefits without problem ^^

You DO know this is a "Speculation" forum???
Yes i know, but speculation doesn't mean you have to base yourself on nothing. Speculation can be made through logic and arguments, not just what "you felt while drinking your coffee and that big revelation you had while you slept"! ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Ok i know there are already lots of thread about how btc is going to go 400 or 1000$ in next weeks, but most of the time it's just people coming saying "it will" or "it won't". Well i'm not an economist so i won't say i know, but i wish this thread will be used for people with facts and arguments, not just opinions. I firmly believe in a near btc price rise, because of the coming halving and the black friday trend (more than 1000$ last year) and i saw something strange on cex.io: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimgur.com%2Fot6uQDU&t=663&c=xpFexP5rHbbQyw) As you see the market depht is closing, a week before there was much more sell order than buy orders, now it's 830btc buy order vs 710 btc sell order.

Well at least you can take part of your income in btc. You transform like 10% of your income and use/stock it in btc. Can't do much harm and if btc skyrockets one day you'll be happy to have done it =)

Hey you know what dude? Take care ISIS is also using dollars xD BTC is a currency, a currency is used to exchange goods and services. Why wouldn't it be used by ISIS? Especially because it's a universal currency so...
Just hope it won't harm bitcoin.

It's also because contrary to dollars/euro or others fiat money, you can't really use bitcoins in real life... So there is a hell of a lot exchange between fiat money and btc and everyone is more or less afraid of seeing the bitcoin skyrocketing and missing the opportunity or going to the dump while having lots of btc. Which make that everyone sell or buy bitcoin all the time, contrary to dollars where the vast majority of people using it never change the money ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I strongly disagree with your point of vue. I think saving money is not something really important. Maybe it's because i'm French so i don't have to care about "medical emergencies" as you say, cause of course if you're not reinboursed by your gvt you're right it's important to save some money in case you or one that you love needs it :/ But saving money for investment is not really a good deal, if you have a good investment opportunity, just take a loan. It's faster, easier and you can invest a real amount of money (not just a few thousands dollars). I invested in house location, i borrowed 150 000 euros and built a house then rent it. It covers 95% of the loan payment and i pay the rest. But i suppose it depends a lots on your personal situation and xhere/how you live ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Hi guys, first as a French living in Paris i appreciate your concerns and ind words.
But please don't confuse everything, of what i read you're all suggesting two things: let the people carry weapons and get immigrants out.
On the first one i'll say that i'm pretty sure armed population would even be more dangerous on a terorist attack. Lot's of people didn't really understand what happened, some citizens fought others thinking they were part of the attack. It was a very unclear situation, i'm sure that if people were allowed to have guns, people would have killed more innocents than terrorists. Everyone was afraid and confused, you do reaaaaaaally stupid things when you're afraid. And most of the damages were done by bombs and the first shots at Bataclan (the place where half victims were). Armed people wouldn't have done shit because they openned the gates of the room where the concert took place, screamed and shot in the public. They killed nearly 50 persons in just a few seconds, nobody would have reacted fast enough to stop them.
So no, we don't have guns and we don't want some thanks.
And for the immigrants... I'm not saying it has no importance, but people saying we should close the borders are stupid. France is huge, and so is Europe, terrorists are maybe hiding in the refugees groups but it doesn't matter, we just can't control our borders. Dozens of thousands of Mexican goes trough the USA borders and it's the fucing biggest and most secured border in the world! How do you want to control European borders??? You just can't. In France only it's 4 000 km of ground borders, and i'm not talking about the seas or the ocean...
It's terrible but sadly enough you can't really defend yourself. Which doesn't mean you can't attack though...
