totally new to this.. been mining for a week or so, works well and easy to use! I'm using the "Legacy" version, read somewhere that it gave somewhat better results, its my ( very limited) experience as well. since 18h or so back the rate has dropped with around $1/day.. is this normal? it was on a steady $5 since start, now its around 4. I guess the value of everything just dropped or perhaps the difficulty increased? Again, totally new so i have no idea what i'm talking about  I did the benchmark again (i always do the "long" one), is the benchmark for selecting what is best to mine currently - so it needs to be done every now and then? i have a i5 8600 (@4.6) + and one 1080ti. no need to benchmark more than say once a month. once you get really going, it's best not to do auto-switching, as it stresses your gpu. eventually research on whattomine.com or similar and mine a coin you pick follow these threads https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2674194.0 but ask newbie q's somewhere else lol good luck |

Been summoned to a family lunch today. Least Favourite Daughter-in-Law wants 'to have a serious talk'. Can't seem to find my chequebook, but am sure that won't matter. Mustn't be late.
I’m in Cape Verde (just waiting for coach back to airport) with inlaws which has been paid for by us (they’re cheap bastards). Can’t wait to get home now tbh Families are a pain in the ass especially one’s who aren’t blood. Well I did her a great disfavour prejudging her so. Last Christmas I'd apparently been teasing them all that bitcoin is tied to identity and when a holder dies their coin has to go back in to the 'mining pool', so they shouldn't expect anything from me. But lo she had since done some research 'for me' and this is not the case at all. In fact, it is quite like real money and you can just send it to anyone. Perhaps if I didn't understand it all that well, it might be better to distribute my coin 'around the family' before the 'time' comes, just to 'be safe'. I started in on my long discourse on primogeniture (this creature is married to Indolent Son Number 2), how it is a great mistake to break up estates and spare sons really always made for excellent bishops or conquerors in mediaeval times... I used to tease Son 2 about that stuff, but he knows I'm just being a dick. Next update: at Easter if we get that far, I suppose she'll be tackling me on fairness and partible inheritance. |

 @FedericoTenga 47m47 minutes ago I like how realistic is this picture: Bitcoin doing all the effort, Litecoin and Ethereum pretending to be useful, Ripple vainly trying to slow down and other altcoins just watching |

Bitcoin has failed Mark Carney.
He gets an F for Fail. Flail. Fud.

It seems like every time one of the US regulatory bodies gets an opportunity to talk about the crypto space, it is positive. It makes you wonder why they are so supportive?
Now, law enforcement is a different story. Individual officers are just trying to get awards and medals for arresting people. Whenever there is a gray area, there is an opportunity for an inventive law enforcement officer to make a move to better their career standing. That isn't necessarily in line with the government's desires.
Why is the US Government so supportive?
They're supportive of 'the crypto space', of 'blockchain' and other distractions, but they admit there's nothing they can do about bitcoin. The ECB admitted this a while back already as well. I was expecting more of a fight. What else could they possibly (try to) do after essentially admitting that they are powerless? Submit. |

Shares on a public blockchain are going to be a thing. Real shares. Like Apple and Amazon and even Berkshire Hathaway. Not this pretend kindergarten shit we have had so far.
But Bitcoin needs a way to record and transfer these shares. Like colored coins. There are a bunch of contenders for which public blockchain will win. It will not be Ripple or Stellar. ETH is the obvious threat but they have their own problems right now.
Do you mean all the ICO's and erc20 stuff from basically 2017? The NYSE will be on a public blockchain, hopefully Bitcoin, within 10 years. I will take a contrarian view: that the NYSE and most other such staples of finance will have long ceased to exist by then. Disruption will be a frightening epic. |
