On the solo pool, do you have a set starting difficulty (diff_xxxx) setting you put in the password, or since you specify “works with nicehash and miningrigrentals”, are those ports for equihash high difficulty ports?

I looked on your start up help for miningrigrentals but didn’t see anything there. You might have it specified somewhere else, I just couldn’t find it.

So what am I missing 

Don’t subscribe “by sending funds straight from an exchange”, but list no wallet to use.

Tried the free demo and if I choose to use 2year history and forecast btc the next 2 weeks hourly, I get a forecast that starts at 625, and bounces around 615-690. If I choose to use 5year history I get a forecast that starts at 456 and bounces 450-490.

Please note, I’m not throwing shade, I want to try the product out, and profoundly believe this is me missing the obvious and having to note “op error” once again. 

I've been wondering about this as well.

However IF early reports are correct and 10-15% of the hashrate of btc went to Bcash, then all you have to ask is, "was I running my s5 in April of last year?". Difficulty was about 10% of what it is now, and btc was $400 ish.

If everything is correct (including my logic), I think that makes s7's profitable, and s5's slightly profitable in the right conditions.

Mt. Gox and BTC-E were also aware of their connectivity problems. 😂

Not a jab, got money in there too... just trying to diffuse the tension. 👍

That's the easy answer... maybe the easy, simple, correct answer.

The more complicated answer is why does this keep happening.

Once again, is it Polo or Ltc. Is there something ltc has done to now make Polo have to "take them offline" for a bit out of precaution?

Is Polo having issue with ltc traffic, and this is a way of throttling it (like Polo has run out of ltc in their hot wallets)?

Is Polo trying to manipulate the market?

This is mere curiosity on my part... I believe both ltc and Polo are here to stay.

Last three weeks at some time Polo has taken deposits and withdrawals off due to ltc... or so they say. Litecoin dev has responded on twitter that he wished Polo would contact him when they post the "dev might have to address this issue"... or something like that.

Now... just recently, they have frozen ltc the second time in about a week an a half.... so, what the hell, is it ltc, or Polo?

Please note the wallet being taken offline for a couple of hours isn't really my issue, it's the frozen stuff that gets me on edge.

This is the truly obsurdly enormous red flag, at the very least, they sold more hashrate then they have mining... for the sake of the arguement, assume they have the mining facility they have claimed to have.

They claim to have the largest ethereum mine, they claim to have 200,000 customers... if each customer only put in the $30 minimum for 1 MH, then the facility is producing at least 200 GH... does it make sense that a 200 GH mining facility hasn't hit a block in a month... 2 months... 6 months (the article I think said since Feb.)

Either the report is full of it, or GM.

Regardless, having issues paying customers/contrators/suppliers is never a good sign for a company.

Valid point, and the article makes valid points as well... hell the most valid point, would you rather own Every single bitcoin right now, own 100% stake in Goldman-Sachs, or own 100% stake in PayPal... seriously, every owner of a crypto should ask themselves that question.

If people say Bitcoin, they are definitely a true believer.... I am not... I'm a believer, but the f**k if I'm going to drink the Kool-Aide. 😋

     

Capitalism in general depends on new money, wether by expanding markets, or opening new markets. Industries that don't get new money, die.

For those who don't remember the Y2K bug was supposed to kick in on Jan, 1st 2000, giving computers worldwide an invalid date, causing bank computers to lose all your money, aviation computers would fail causing planes to fall from the sky, Nukes would be inadvertently launch, the vaticans computers would fail releasing Lucifer from his prison in hell... 

Then, nothing happened. Why? people had a plan, and the plan was executed. The panic that was Y2K masked the true big baddy that investors should have been fearful of.... a big .com bubble.

Sound familiar, a scary technical issue that really amounts to nothing, in a overhyped, bloated industry, where a good chunk of businesses/coins offer no true value/innovation, and IPOs/ICOs business model starts and ends with "Collect Money"....

After August 1st, if prices shoot to the moon... be very weary. Bitcoin is strong, but just like the .com burst, the strong survived... but they didn't survive without a beating.

Not saying it's going to happen, just words from a dude that lost money during the .com burst, and just something that I will be watching closely.

Disregard. I searched the web, and looked through my history and found nothing... guess I dreamed it?!??!

My payouts have also stopped recording, but have been paid out in the coins that met their payout minimum (ltc and dash).

A month ago they stopped showing my unpaid balance (not happy, and added more skepticism)
A week ago they stopped showing payouts period... but still paid out, which added so much skepticism that I have now written them off.

* Yesterday I saw an article from coindesk saying that GM ran out of ethereum cause they haven't mined a block in 6 weeks.... ahhhhh..... if it's true, that's trouble, if it's an attempt at an excuse, that's trouble.

Either way, it is what it is. I love the premise of being able to mine with only $30, and no electrical restrictions, had to give it a try. We'll just have to wait and see what happens here.

Edit : * swear is saw an article, but seeing I could not find it on a search, or looking through my history, guess it didn't happen.

Apparently the same thing happened last week and I never noticed... and there was no real official explanation.

*note to self, keep your trading ltc on bitrex. 

20% of my holding is ltc (only 5% in Polo)
And about 25% of my mining is ltc and Burst... bad 24hrs. 

Getting a y2k vibe to this whole thing. Concentrate on the news worthy big scary thing, which isn't an issue (y2k/btc hard fork), meanwhile what's going to destroy your profolio is the fact that the market is bloated, overvalued and most coins/companies provide nothing. And just like the .com burst, only those who have can deliver a true product will survive, and continue on to make people money.... after they dip, cause no one gets out unscathed.

I've worked in 4 different industries, and consulted on many different sites/projects, with god knows how many different variables. I am no stranger to being over your head, and not being prepared (you actually never can prepare enough for most situations). If there's one thing I've learned, it's jump in, take your lumps, you will emerge an expert on the way out.

So short answer is, there is 0 probability. Btc goes down, they all go down with it.... but hear me out on this.

At a point btc will bottom, I figured mid August it would hit mid $1,900, then go stable from there.... ahhhhhh....... yah, that happened a month early. 😄

My back up bottom went all the way down to $1,200. 😳 Scary, but I think it's a realistic, worse case scenario.

So if btc hits $1,200, you're looking at things like ltc @ $16-$14, ETH @ $80, Dash @ $65, etc... and that looks outrageously unrealistic. Bottom of ltc I can't see going past $28, ETH $120, Dash $100.

So the question I throw out there, do you see a scenario in which when the dust settles, btc finally finds its bottom, and % wise, the other "big" alt-coins actually lost less?

I do too. It's one thing to buy a $8,000 of Rx 470 ETH rigs, that probably will not make back half the money before its no longer profitable, least you get some hands on experience for your loss. It's entirely different story not getting anything for your money, besides a swift kick in the grapes.




Its ehsminer, they had the same "product" back in 2014.

I think it depends on when you got in.

Had I been in for a long time, I would care less right now, because my initial investment would have already been paid off. I bought in during the May dip, btc @$2,000, ltc @ $36, and ETH at $180. I sold a good portion 2 weeks ago, and have been using it to buy and sell the bounces because if I can take out my initial investment, at that point I have 0 probability of losing money in this endeavor, and will be sitting in your spot... not caring and waiting for the eventual recovery.

So at this point ehs has got to be a scam, you can't be in business for 4-5 years and not have a product when your first product was supposed to be out in 2014... or maybe they have very deep pockets, and because their million dollar primary jobs take up most of their time, they just haven't had the time to finish their product. 

Anyways, was wondering... do you think the eBay seller has been duped, and he thinks he's getting this thing, or do you think he knowingly is scamming people?

I did look to message the guy, but can't find it on his profile, also was seeing if their was a way to report it, without dinging the seller... couldn't find it either.
