Is a case even needed for these though? Couldn't you just use a normal PC case, or even just elevate the board using a couple platforms or something like people do with GPU miners?

“My goal is to get rich,” says Jonathan Mohan, blunt as you like.

I stopped reading after this. If your goal is to get rich doing bitcoins, your doing it for the wrong reasons. Getting rich was a by product, and people like this don't believe in bitcoin like other people on this forum do. They even labeled him as a "Bitcoin promoter", this is insane.

The "get rich" mentality is also what is the most detrimental. These are the people who help raise it up a bit, then all of a sudden dump and move on, leaving behind a wake of destruction.

i think sha256 is what will keep bitcoin the gold standard vs litecoin the silver standard. I've noticed all the 100+ alt coins that have come out of the woodwork all seem to use scrypt.  i guess thats bc anyone can mine your chain for a long period of time.  the asic arms race has got a little crazy, and ithink its funny how its not playing out like everyone expected (i remember when any miner i'd talk to would say "gpu mining will be completely dead by november 2012).  i've already made the switch to ltc with my gpu rigs but thats mostly bc i think litecoin is undervalued.   oh well i guess only time will tell.

lol, people claim BTC mining is dead on GPU's all the time. For most people, though, it's still profitable. And it's arguably the safest coin to mine as well. If the crypto scene died down, BTC would be the last to fall.

Bitshy - what times do you consider your peak playing hours? Seems mostly European friendly hours to me Smiley

Good question. I think maybe some type of chart that is broken down into hours (or even like 2 hour blocks) showing the payments input would help. Ex: 2PM: 5 (this would represent 2PM and there being 5 payments total). Doesn't even need to show the amounts. Just something to help visualize when the best time to hang out on the site is for gaming.

What the heck is making everybody think this is going to below $30???

I would say that it's because of the first bubble. It went to $30 and then slowly dropped to $3. Second bubble was $260 so many people think BTC will slowly fall to $20-$30. Case closed Smiley

I think it's been getting somewhat steady as of late though. It's been big dumpers causing the fluctuations lately hasn't it?

Unless you believe the price is artificially being held high.

I believe it's the opposite and that it will go up more. We're still at a time where getting BTC by mining is still possible, and we're not even near the BTC cap yet. As we get closer to it, the value should rise because the demand will still be there (and be increasing) but the supply will be decreasing.

I've updated the site. You can now earn money with your notes. You also require an account.

How is money earned by sharing notes?

And regarding the faucet, there's no confirmation/denial when an address is sent. Can you please confirm if it's working, and if so what the minimum payout amount and cooldown is? Assuming everything is good and it'd fit in, I can feature it on the BTC Faucet Rotator/Timer.

Added a parameter (php get) for the address textbox.
example:
Code:
http://gotonote.site90.net/bitcoin.php?address=1NoteJpV8nA2TD5QhDYbvM6CLaGQNgyYmJ

If you want to use it. Smiley

I'll also add a referral system. Just for you ;3

Awww, I love you too! Thanks, Smiley.

What's the cooldown going to be on the faucet, and I think you were saying you are going to swap to a new web address later?

I pay when the faucet has enough money.

Oh, I didn't mean payout time, but rather how long it is between when users can request another payout. Ex. about half of the faucets so far are 30m, some 1h and some 24h (the 30m ones you can request funds from every 30m, though they don't pay out that often -- they just keep up with how many requests you've made and multiply the payment by that).
8648  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Goliath Miner-Cairnsmore3/4/5/6 Boards - Limited run for August Delivery on: June 14, 2013, 10:54:22 PM
Are you going to wait until you're actually ready to ship these before you take orders, or do you plan to do pre-orders like others and then wait a few months? :p.

And I was a bit confused about your offerings. I get the 85 euro/GH/s, but what types of packages are available?

Basically equipment of this size will be built to order and there will be a deposit so call that a preorder. The main offering will be a complete rack with air cooling and power supplies including within. Beyond this initial offering we are looking things like different sizes and maybe even bringing our Cairnsmore2 to market for the smaller customer.

On timelines we hope to have both CM3 and CM4 prototypes running in the bext 2-3 weeks. A lot of work has already been done on our Cairnsmore2 development platform. The main aspect of the timeline is then just the delivery of parts and our manufacturing cycles. We have been working on those aspects for a while so August is quite practical as a delivery date.

That sounds awesome! How big are the racks, and do you know how much power you're looking at altogether?

Update! ABitBack has boosted their payout rates by 200%! You can collect points every 10 minutes using their radio offer. For any questions regarding this, feel free to ask away and I'll help the best I can, Smiley.

Thanks guys!

I know I probably shouldn't be asking for this, but I need some money so if you guys could go to bitcoinfaucetlist.blogspot.com and just click a few links that would be nice:).

Clicked on some links, enjoy.

Ps: why don't you use coinurl instead of adf.ly
Maybe he needs some fiat currency.

Thanks! Two reasons.
1) I need to money to buy a camera from Nikon. Nikon doesn't accept Bitcoins (aka, fiat currency as was already said.)
2) I heard some reports about coinurl not paying out, and I didn't want to to take the risk.

CoinURL pays out, :p.

Can you add the BTC Faucet Rotator/Timer to your list too? Smiley

I think that price is quoted for universal mining device with software for it. Based on FPGA technology.
Software is here very important matter. Because it will keep (beside of good engineering design) future proof idea. Yes, nothing is 100% future proof, but will keep market place for longer time and make users happy longer Smiley



I am kind of... not really believing we can have a universal (scrypt/sha-256) device like this though, as the two are so different in how they work. I just think that for an FPGA or ASIC to be efficient, it has to choose one or the other and be customized towards that. Otherwise we end up with "novice at many, master of none."
8653  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Proposal to change Bitcoins hashing algorithm to Scrpyt-Jane on: June 14, 2013, 10:45:39 PM
This right here. I think changing BTC over to scrypt-jane would cause a massive issue with the system as a whole at this point. ASIC's would then be useless, as well as all the money invested in them, and that would cause a (likely large) exodus from the currency.

This, miners who invested hundreds if not thousands of dollars would be cheated out. They are the people who are willing to invest and risk large amounts of money into the bitcoin mining world. If you alienate them like this, due to having a finite supply of such people, less people will be mining, and there will be far fewer people willing to spend time and money to design new ASIC's for the alternative mining algorithm. We will have a very small hash rate for a very long time, the efficiency of mining will be low due to using GPU's, which will make it easier for an opposing party to bring it down.

I hadn't even considered the ability of attacking BTC with 51%'s due to a change like this. That in itself is a huge red flag.

I'd still suggest not doing this though. At all. There is no reason I can think of for wanting to delete a receiving address.

No, it's not "Discussion" when we're going over the same points over and over. It's just noise. If you can't show the courtesy of searching before posting, don't post.

But grueeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, using search takes too much work!

Answer the following questions.

>Was your wallet a local (not cloud) wallet?
>>If it was, was it encrypted?
>>If it wasn't, was it protected by 2FA?

These trivial security measures are all necessary, but not sufficient.  If you didn't even have these basic protections, I have little sympathy for you.

2FA and encrypted passphrases of sufficient strenght should be mandatory at resp. cloud wallets and local wallets.

Banks don't allow their clients to access their bank accounts without encryption and some 2FA measure. So why should Bitcoin?

Most people are jackasses about security, they will always choose a weak password over a complex one and write it on a post-it note which they stick on their monitors unless they are prevented from doing that.


lol, this is so true. Too many people also use the same exact passwords for absolutely everything and then complain when one account is hacked and people get access to everything else.
