I'm need of some BTC and finding it very difficult to buy as I'm not in the US so can't use most exchanges and such. Let me know if you're interested. If your trust score is low or your a newbie etc... then only message me if you're willing to send BTC first or use an escrow that I nominate and pay the fees yourself.

I'm looking to buy around 1.3 BTC (or whatever £300 is at the time) in the near future. Would anyone be willing to sell it to me either by PayPal or by me buying something with PayPal such as Amazon vouchers (that way I can't charge back) and giving you the voucher in exchange for BTC?

Please PM me with any questions etc...

I don't have any previous trades/trust so I'm happy to discuss how best to proceed in a way that you feel secure and without putting yourself at risk of being scammed.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I'd just like to add my PayPal account is verified against a bank account (has been for some time) and I'm happy to trade to a "family member" as a gift etc... I have sold BTC for PayPal before so I understand it's not the most ideal way but as the buyer it would be preferable for me as I have an existing balance.

I'm not actually new, I'm just a bit of a lurker - not that active.

I intend to work my way up, happy to start with small transactions and stuff to build up my trust.

Furthermore I know it wouldn't take much effort to dox me and find out a lot of personal info about me so I would be stupid to go pissing people off.

Hey, my name's Cainy. I've been a member here for a while but haven't been too active in recent months. I've decided to come back and start up an escrow service to get myself involved again.

Obviously since I'm new to this I don't have anyone to vouch for my services but a few people will be able to confirm I am a genuine member and I've written a couple posts about programming and such in the past. I did a reasonably comprehensive guide to CPU mining DogeCoins when they first came about after I found the process a little confusing myself to begin with, for example.


Down to business:

To begin with I will charge no fees in order to establish my legitimacy. This is only an introductory offer and I intend to charge 1% for standard transactions once I get started.

Any security requests such as multi-sig or offline wallets, I am happy to oblige to.


Please feel free to comment with any questions/requests. If I escrow for you I'd appreciate some feedback here too to let people know. Tips are also welcome, my tipping address is 1CainyGGK2yeA7Niwps8z3xj3n4iUdkHXW.

I also deal with DogeCoin and a few other coins, feel free to ask!


Have a nice day!

In terms of investment it's supposed to be quite profitable to invest small low-risk amounts and make small profits off the small peaks and troffs that occur on almost an hourly basis with bitcoin. Because of its volatile nature it can be much quicker to make money trading BTC as opposed to trading stocks/currencies in the same way. That said, you really do have to know what you're doing when it comes to that.

The folks over at KBVE have recently launched a charity campaign called Doge4Mud, helping those affected by the devastating landslide that struck Darrington, WA. As part of this campaign they have created a Doge Coin pool where all of the pool fees are donated directly to the cause. If you are mining yourself some doge and want to do some good at the same time then come mine over at their pool.

The default pool fee is 0.5% of your earnings. All of this will be donated. If you wish you can opt to donate a higher percentage to earn yourself a special badge on the leader board and to further help support the charity.

If you haven't mined Doge Coin before and would like some help getting started, you can view my old CPU mining tutorial here. However this is a little outdated and CPU mining isn't anywhere near as effective as it used to be. Despite this every little helps guys so come join in!!

You're right that it is not exactly viable to mine doge using your CPU anymore. However when this post was written it was worth it and the post stands as example of sorts. Plus this technique can be applied to any Scrypt algorithm alt-coin in practice and so is still of use.

That's absolutley fine, the little (yay!!!) things mean that your share was accepted. Therefore everything is working fine. You may get the occasional (boooo) but so long as it isn't every time that's fine. You are unlikely to make a lot of profit from that kind of hashing power it is still a novelty as I keep saying.

So I've not been around as much as I would have hoped recently and just wanted to clear a few things up having read through the recent posts. Recently I've not been at all happy with the service from cryptovalley and so I would recommend a different pool and I will be updating the thread accordingly. A lot of you are having connection issues due to using that pool and no other reason. Apologies, I did recommend this pool at the time as it was the best I had found but they have gone down hill since. Currently I use multipool.us - either for their profit switching mining pool or just for the dogecoin specific pool (their website lists different ports to use if you just want to stick to one currency rather than auto-switching) however they do charge a fair old rate on withdrawals and so you may want to look around yourself and be sure to check out the miners and withdrawal fees to make sure they aren't too bad.

Mining on your CPU for dog isn't anywhere near as profitable as it used to be, back when I wrote this tutorial my 50 KH/s that I got from my CPU was enough to get me a couple thousand a day but it certainly isn't anymore (bare in mind the price of doge was only like 30 satoshis at the time so it still wasn't great. However, that doesn't mean that those of you who are simply curious about the currency can't just give it a little go .

These days the only real way to effectively mine doge is with a fairly decent GPU (graphics card), for example my new GTX 760 which can mine at 250 KH/s but even that isn't exactly going to make you rich or anything. Plus, baring in mind the card set me back £200 it certainly isn't something to try and invest in.

I'll try put together a GPU mining tutorial for Doge in the next couple days if you have a GPU and are interested. It's a fairly similar process but is complicated by the variety of graphics cards around and the varying software required to utilize such cards. Anyhow, if I do write a tutorial for it I'll be sure to post here to update you all.

Thanks for the nice feedback, its really appreciated!

Just tried this on my new GTX 760. I get around 250 KH/s although when I came back after a few hours it had dropped to 200 KH/s and was feeling rather hot to the touch, although i didn't think to actually check its temp. Anyone else got a GTX 760 to compare to?

Sometimes you get orphan blocks and you don't get paid for them, no one does. See this article about the bitcoin block chain for further explanation (obviously the same applies to doge essentially).

Of course! That's how workers are intended to be used. Having a different worker for each computer allows you to monitor them individually using the pools control panel.

You're right, the network hash rate is going to peak over the 10 GH/s mark very soon. CPU mining isn't the best way right now although I get around 40KH/s with mine so its still kinda worth it.

That's just how it works, You get paid each time your pool is rewarded, which isn't for every block, its random every now and then. And at that point in time your pool will reward you for how much work you contributed to that block.

This pool is really quite great. It's had the occasional issue but far better than the other pools I have used for DOGE. A big +1!!

not sure to be honest with you, mine just has the odd yay every few lines. Keep an eye on your pool for a couple hours and see if you get anything.

heres my address: DDSw9h4DSMLBziRhBTfSMqeUjGGH6H684G much love

They will be in your account on the pool you registered for. When you hit the withdrawal limit (most seem to have a limit of 10000 DOGE) you will be able to withdraw them to your DOGE wallet. I assume you have the dogecoin-qt client but if not download it here and then you will have an address to withdraw your earnings to. You can edit your address in the "Edit Account" page by pasting it in and entering your pin number to confirm identity.

What do you mean it misses threads? There is nothing wrong with the log above.

Looks like you've missed a 3 off the end of the port number. It should be 3333.
