1  Economy / Trading Discussion / Short and Long trades in parallel on: October 17, 2018, 10:52:30 AM
Hey guys, I am a little lost:

Does it make sense to have a short bot and a long bot on the same pairing?

I somehow can't get my head around it...

e.g. I got 30k QSP and I don't really care if I end up with 20k or 40k of it, I just wanna make a profit in each direction. Do 2 bots make sense in that scenario?
2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Pay with Crypto - what's the best solution on: May 08, 2018, 03:25:40 PM
Hi guys,

I wanna start doing my everyday transactions with crypto. I wanna start with some credit card or debit card that translates my crypto (does not have to be bitcoin) to FIAT at point of sale. So I don't wanna change to fiat before I actually pay. I also wanna have a simple way to reload my card with cryptos, if possible without going through an exchange.

Is there anything around that you know of?

Thx
Mike
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Crypto Fanatic needs Rig on: May 01, 2018, 07:40:58 AM
Hey guys, thanks for all that advice. I was thinking about a real rig but I kinda like the idea of going lightweight. I wanna setup full nodes foe BTC and ETH (I got them on my mac but it's slow as fuck now) Wink - just because it's the right thing to do. And I wanna mine a few small coins on the way. So it's really more about having fun and being part of the crypto network then about making a profit.

I was wondering about a good PC to get started. Maybe something that I can stick 3 or 4 Graphic cards in but that is still easy to run. Does that make sense?

What about something like this: Lenovo ThinkCentre M900

I just don't really want a bunch of cards with an open wooden frame standing around Smiley

Thanks again for the advice so far... hoping for more.

Hi guys,

I am doing hosted mining with ASIC's for quite a while but that's just so boring. Pretty much my whole live revolves around crypto, getting my own hardware is just the next step.

It's not about ROI. I wanna decide every day, what coin I wanna mine. What I want is a mining rig that is ready to go (I don't wanna build one), that's not too loud, so I can leave it in a room in my house and that is versatile, so I can use it for new, exciting coins when they come out first. I am not mining for short term gains, I mainly want those coins Smiley

I was hoping to stay under 3k USD (maybe 5) and get a decent MH/s bang for the buck. I liked the concept of the Pandaminer until I read the reviews.

Any advice?

Thanks
Mike
5  Other / Off-topic / File storage options and technology selection for accounting software on: April 25, 2018, 08:20:23 AM
Hi guys, I did read a lot but still have not find the optimum way of storing files and keeping the contents available for BI and DeepLearning feeds.

I got an accounting form as customer. They want to store files from their clients (invoices...). We will use OCR combined with manual classification and deep learning to automate the data extraction. This means, the files need to be accessible as we constantly have to check them for matches, once we learned a new format. So what we need is a fast, secure access.

What do you think is the best way of storing those files? We also need maximum temper-prove and secure of course. J

Ah, and as add-on question: What technology / blockchains would you be using for such a project?

Andreas has been known to [Suspicious link removed]munity as one its 'guru'.
If you're not convinced you can watch these videos where he gets to talk and explains about Bitcoin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2zH-T_hmLs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUNGFZDO8mM

Yeah, I did read all of his books and even have pre-ordered his ETH book Smiley Andreas is a genius. Is there more around with his level in a more general sense - that can help me with high level tech / architecture decissions?

Hi guys,

I am running a small developer team and we are more and more moving towards blockchain development. I am technical, however, now I am more acting as business manager, CTO, bitch for everything...

I need to get to a point where I can decide, what blockchain suites which project (for data storage, AI, big-data, BI...) and I need to understand more of the rough technical backgrounds like lightning... not only for bitcoin but overall.

I went through all Udemy Courses and a few other ones but those are all just scratching the surface.

Can you recommend good courses, books or other resources in that regard? I don't need deep coding understanding, just from the architecture side.

Thanks for the help
Michael

That contract thing was shady but I signed up for 1 year, so I had open eyes. I don't think that lifetime will give much more profit due to difficulty rising. But the rates seem OK, they are pretty much the lowest on the market, or do you know any better way of cloud mining? BTW: So far (in the first 2 weeks), the payouts have been really good...

Thanks. I got my eye on Hydrominer and will probably drive down and visit them. A lot os happening in the mining world, now a new chip seems to be coming out. Maybe this market is really just to volatile to invest too much into it.

I am really pumped on the Altcoin trading, though. Last question: I am trying to get into the community and connect with people to discuss investment strategies and so forth. I am not giving too much about the youtube channels, do you know a good place to start making such contacts?

Hi mate and thanks for the answer... I did not find anything meaningful about re-investment and good information seem to go under when people complaining that their 100 GH contract went haywire - which they paid a prime price for.

I am mining to hold, so I am all about the discounted price. If I don't have that, no point in mining. I can tax deduct mining contracts through my company which decreases the initial investment risk a bit, that's why I thought it would eb a good idea. And I just bought 150 T on Genesis. Bummer Cheesy

Is there a good difficulaty adjustment setting for the BC calculators - some proven numbers? I get so many opinions but it is so hard to find facts.

I am new in the crypto world. And so far loving it. The blockchain is so sexy (I am a geek), so I sort of got a little overexcited.

Well, if the BC hits the 100k, those mistakes will be small enough J

Thanks again
Mike

Hi guys,

I am at Hashflare (200T for 30k) and am thinking about the re-invest. If I just take the BC, I will end up with around 8 of them after 1 Year after fees - worth, let's say 56k (BC at 7k when I sell - just for the math). When I reinvest daily, My Excel tells me that I can make up to 500k. Let's half that just to be sure. But also 132k seems like a really good gain, even when I have to wait a little longer to realise it. Am I missing something? Did anyone do a calculation for this inclusive the expected rise in difficulty?

My assumptions:
Each invest creates a new 1 year contract for the new amount
100% reinvestment over 1 year then 1 year or profit taking
BC profit per TH = 0,0001 BC
Bitcoin Price Average = 7,000 USD
Price per TH: 150 USD

Here the sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/179tfdknHROHfa1z7Cd6-o4dMcOgv4u7yGYFdOw2ZHAA/edit?usp=sharing

I also found this calculator: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ni4W6YkJdt8W9Hrn_S4qwFkQNeMNfdlmE8zjo70rgcI/edit#gid=685808914

I would love to get your opinions. Or even better, someone who can do a better calculation or has experience with this topic. I think, this could be a great investment.

Thanks

OK, I did do the course. The formula he is using is actually pretty good. It is not never losing of course, but it mitigates the risk quite a bit. Interesting concept and when you got coins, fx or stocks in a rising markets or some that are flat but wildly swinging, I can see this work pretty well... Worth watching IMHO for 10 bucks...
13  Economy / Digital goods / Udemy Course about Bots on: November 12, 2017, 03:40:06 PM
Hi guys,

what do you think about this course from EA Forex Academy?
https://www.udemy.com/cryptocurrency-never-loosing-formula-bitcoin-robot-trading/learn/v4/overview

He is recommending:

Platform: Metatrade 4
Marketplace: JFD Brokers - they have the Bticoin, with pretty tide spread and swap. You can use the Meta Trader platform also.

Any thoughts? And sure, manual trading is needed as well, I wanna use this as part of my trading portfolio.

Thanks
Mike
14  Bitcoin / Pools / Calculate Perfect Pool Mix on: November 12, 2017, 03:28:24 PM
Hi guys,

This is a 2 part question:

1: I wonder if it is possible to calculate the perfect pool mix. Is anyone doing this already? It could be a mathematical method or crowd-intelligence. If we can come up with a self-updating-answer (a formula), I could get some of my guys to develop software to calculate it - and share the results...

2: I am bringing up this topic as there are a lot of "Which mining pool to use" questions, and I actually have the same one. I tried different settings at Hashflare but can't seem to find the optimum. What are you guys using there for BTC and LTC?

Thanks
Mike
15  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Bitcoin transfer fee from Exodus to Trezor on: November 12, 2017, 03:04:28 PM
Hi guys,

is there a transfer fee if I move my bitcoins between my own wallets? I am using exodus for my transactions (mining income) and am planning to move then coins to Trezor once in a while. I can't figure out what the cost for that is.

Thanks
Mike
