Zcash is a nice coin to trade. I will not hold zcash for long term but i will trade in short term.
There is nice market cap in this coin not a dump-pump coin. technical analysis works good.


I think it is not good to trade. It is better to just hold the coin.

12 1080 TI
6 1080s

bro calm your tits. What I'm trying to say is it ain't what it used to be. I think I'm gonna cash out the cards now for reals.

congrats on your mining profits though, mine have long since ROI, but........like I said, it aint what it used to be



If your electricity price is more than $0.2/kWh, it is better to sell the cards.

$30 Million: Ether Reported Stolen Due to Parity Wallet Breach

http://www.coindesk.com/30-million-ether-reported-stolen-parity-wallet-breach/

It seems it is better t use the old test wallet instead of innovative wallet.
864  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 1080Ti Specific - Best mining option on: July 09, 2017, 08:28:36 AM
1080Ti is not optimised as well at this time

I would say that there is a lot more to squeeze out from this beast of a card

The problem of the 1080 is that the memory configuration is not suitable for some coins.
865  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 1080Ti Specific - Best mining option on: June 30, 2017, 09:40:36 AM
anyone know how fast and with what software u can mine DCR Decred with 1080Ti?

its Blake 14r

DCR? i get 4.8 gh/s with the zotac amp extreme, only 4.4 with my gigabyte ti tho Sad

anyone tried claymore dual ETH + DCR? or skein is the profitable coin for this card right now?

I also like to know that.

I wouldn't rely on it for privacy. And then there's the 20% founders reward. And then there's the Trusted Setup. And then there's the company.

All of this is anti-crypto. That's why the price tanked and why no serious investors will touch it.

I still do not understand why people invest into zcash bullshit.

It is because the ZCash price is low.

  • Peter Todd, a Bitcoin Core developer who participated in the Zcash Trusted Setup, has called it a "backdoor" (https://twitter.com/petertoddbtc/status/793584540891643906)
  • Greg Maxwell in a presentation to Coinbase said, "Zcash is not unconditionally sound, can't be with current tech...requires a trusted setup...will need to redo the procedure [Trusted Setup] to upgrade the crypto over time so it's a vulnerability." (Youtube, time 29:30 https://youtu.be/LHPYNZ8i1cU)

THANK YOU, there is some sanity left in this world!

Now they sold their souls (probably not much lef to sell) to JP Morgan... yeah, you heard that right, to JP Morgan...

by god, Satoshi is either vomiting his guts or turning in his grave...



Anybody can use the ZCash technology.

Moon coming guys, cup & handle pattern occured, spike incoming  Smiley

I think the price will stay around current level for some time.
Yup, bitcoin has delayed the great zec pump. Still I really like this coin.

I think the low price could help us buy more.

Ethereum's Casper shit is more of the same proof-of-stake (nothing-at-stake or centralization by economic weight, e.g. DPoS) nonsense. The betting stuff enables what Vitalik refers to as "dark uncles" or "dunkles", which Vitalik incorrectly thinks will solve the nothing-at-stake problem. Also Casper has the problem that all deterministic finality PoS and Byzatine agreement systems have, which is a 33% liveness threshold which if that many validators balk or stop processing, then the chain can't move forward without a hard fork.

Major casper issues have already been solved, i think you're stuck with 2015 infos about casper. https://medium.com/@VitalikButerin/minimal-slashing-conditions-20f0b500fc6c
https://github.com/ethereum/research/blob/master/casper4/simple_casper.v.py
https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Proof-of-Stake-FAQ

Also casper does not assume rational attackers, so if a 51% attack happens in POS, at curent prices, the attackers would have to burn 100-500mil $. In which case they would rather do it now than later because it would cost them 10 times less. With ~30$ mil you can even attack bitcoin.

I think it better to increase the block size and let the miners earn more so that they will better protect the network.
870  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Thoughts on Zcash? on: April 11, 2017, 05:55:14 PM
Is it a good investment guys? I feel like stuck because since I got some, its been going down at polo.
Will I ever be able to recover? Any idea of a pump any time soon?

My guess is that zcash (zec) will reach 0.1 btc by the end of the year tops (most probably in 3-4 months). Looking at what happened to monero, ethereum (ETH) and ethereum classic (ETC) I see a similar pattern. ETH and ETC were dropping for months until they exploded. Who could know that when ETH was again at 6$ it will become 50-60$ after only 3 months. But this all has its explanation. The big mining whales have resources to cause 100-1000% increase of the price. So I guess the 100% increase of ZEC that already happened won't be alone. At least I hope so because I bought back all my mined ZEC.

ZEC is continuing its developments. And it has some solid backing so it will really increase back soon. With the help of some whales it might fast track sooner than expected.

I think the price is quite stable recently.

Hello. What bitcoin scaling path HaoBTC is going to support, any ideas?  Roll Eyes

It will support the winner.
872  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Thoughts on Zcash? on: March 16, 2017, 02:44:07 PM
Most users of ZCash will use the anonymous feature.

Well, you seem to be right.  A few months ago, only 6% of transactions used the anonymous feature, and now it reached already 29%.  

What about the other 70+%? What reason could they have for getting zCash?
They must be the pure speculators. Otherwise, they could have picked up any other alt.
Do you ever read about zcash? I don't know what makes it different and special than others coin but people who has invested in it clearly know what they do as the price continue to rise and consider as top 10 higher price altcoins behind bitcoin. Again, there are a lot to read and learn about.

The main feature is the combination of transparency and anonymity.

That is a good achievement within 3 months.

Were does that hash rate come from, your own mines? If yes see above post of mine, if no then i would start to worry about your site..

They own some miners. They also have other miners.
875  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Storing of Bitcoins is against Bitcoin. on: January 04, 2017, 01:59:57 PM
Bitcoin is about freedom and free market

Do anything you want to them, spend, invest, store, or something else

Things will correct themselves with the free market

 I agree with this. Though it sounds so selfish but still it is you who will decide it. They cant say it is against the rule of bitcoin (if there is one).  I can gamble or invest it or even store it for a long time then they should not care about it. Only those who holds a lot of it will have that very much effect but with little holders there is not much of a impact.

 bitcoin will turn into useless currency its essence If everybody would just store it, people will always continue investing in bitcoin and use it for speculation and or trading.

That is the reason I use the bitcoin quite a lot.
876  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] HaoBTC, mining dividend paid out hourly on: December 23, 2016, 08:34:59 AM


What's the current normal interest rate?

1% per year.

Lol 1% , well next to nothing thats something, but seeing it used to be 6% earlier this year. And also seeing that the having happen shouldn't it be around or near  ~ 3% ? 1/2 of 6 you know.

Save up all month to pay 1 withdraw fee..

Icon




With 1 BTC, it'd take 9.x days to get enough to pay the withdrawal. So it really depends on how much you deposit (10 would take 1 day, 0.1 would take 4 months, etc.).

If you do not have enough, it is better not to use Haobtc.

Well, most our users don't use HaoBTC wallet because we give them interests. Some of them even don't know there is an interest in the wallet.

They use HaoBTC because it's super easy to use, especially for Chinese users. You can send and receive bitcoins with our wallet; you can and sell bitcoins with our wallet; you can buy and sell Hashrate with our wallet; you can search for the information of Blockchain with our wallet... Moreover, if you forget your login password, you won't lose your bitcoins; if you forget your payment password, you won't lose your bitcoins; if you lost your phone, you won't lose your bitcoins...

The fee is quite high. The poloniex is just 0.001. But they combine many transaction and they do not pay 0.001, they pay less.

So HaoBTC can use the same mode as Poloniex and charge less.
877  Economy / Service Announcements / Re: [ANN] HaoBTC, mining dividend paid out hourly on: December 18, 2016, 11:29:13 AM
they once said anything over 1 btc would have no fees, they were wrong...

Icon



Wait, there are fees even if you're sending 1 BTC+ now? If so, that largely kills the point of using the wallet over another party that doesn't even pay interest.

Hi, ranlo, this 0.0005 is paid to miners for their confirmation of your transaction. Every wallet has to pay it. We used to pay this fee for our users when the fee was low and our user number was small. But, obviously, it is not sustainable.

You can send out the funds once every hour to combine the transactions. So that the average fee will be reduced.
878  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Thoughts on Zcash? on: November 27, 2016, 08:27:21 AM
It depends on the future development of the ZCash. If it can find some good usage and people like anonymity, the price could be higher.
That's an illusion mate.Anonymity is not even the priority at the moment to be dealt with.You should worry about the devs having a control over your private keys.Like every other altcoin,this one hangs right on my wall of shame.

Do you mean the developers can have control over our private keys? Does it apply to the t address or z address?
879  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Thoughts on Zcash? on: November 22, 2016, 11:44:24 AM
Slow start kills the first months, hopefully zcash can get out of that or not.
Those, who are availing free mining at www.Zcash-Miner.com in the slow start mining phase, are the real gainer.

Math would disagree, a 480x can pull ~160 H/s So for 3 months I would pay 2 BTC or ~1400 USD for what a $220 graphics card and nominally $180 in power would deliver. So I would be paying $1K for the service a markup of 2.5x.

Thus they would not be the "real gainer"

The cloud mining sites have to earn money. That is the reason for the mark up. I do not use those service.
880  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Ethereum Paradox on: October 27, 2016, 05:06:13 PM
to be extended:


How paradox is it to have 2 ETH now ?

Do we get more soon ?

Thats maybe the idea to increase the block size - just run forks ... uhhh


Some times, maybe many versioin of the Etherereum can be good. People can select the one they like most.
