1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: WTS 1800 FIO on: September 03, 2024, 06:10:37 PM
Yes you're right, but the only exchange I have KYC on is Coinbase, who doesn't trade FIO, and all of the swap sites seem to have a minimum of about 4300.

It's not a big deal, but I'll send first, and I could also take DOGE or other major coins.

Looking to exchange 1800 FIO for BTC.  Please post or PM your offer.

This number is as big as the sun, yet it was cracked.
Actually, that number is equal to 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 hex.  It's not exactly random.  I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's very fishy.

Is it just me, or are others seeing a stupid dinosaur run across the screen now when viewing the bitcoinity charts?

The owner charges thousands of dollars to sponsor the site and they post a 99 cent dinosaur image which has nothing to do with BTC whatsoever.

The owner needs to grow up if he wants to be taken seriously.
I just saw that.  Personally I don't care, but if I was at work with the volume up, it wouldn't have been nice.

April Fools, I guess?

We've upped our hot wallet to attempt to maintain 100+ coins at all time from now on so this won't occur again. However what do you mean by PD being fair again? When have we not been fair?
He probably meant "this shows, again, that PD is a fair site".  Smiley

Damn! What happened to their BitCoin then?
As long as the app is already installed, you should be fine.  Or, whenever you're able to reinstall it you can restore your backup.  Personally, I don't trust any single wallet.  I generate a private key using MultiBit, save it on a flash drive or paper, and import it into Mycelium.  That way I have access to the same wallet on my PC and my phone.  You just need to make extra sure that your PC is clean.

Well what if no one went for the deal? Cloudhashing would have to keep running the miners, hoping that each customer's hashing power would make enough btc to pay for the maintenance fee. But what if no one paid the maintenance fee but withdrew it instead? The miners would run for 30 days while each account was in arrears, until they were eventually canceled.
Thoughts?
I don't think they're running any miners anymore.  They haven't made any contract payments in 2 weeks, and that's after promising weekly payouts from their pool mining.  

All contracts will be gone in 45 days, either by buyout or cancellation, unless someone wants to pay maintenance fees out of pocket.

can these bozos be sued?  or reported to the feds?
Yep, breach of contract in shutting down the miners.  Go after Emmanuel Abiodun personally.

bankrupt yet?
The doors are closing soon.  I just received notice that they're planning to charge $0.15/GH per month in management fees, which is considerably more than expected earnings, even if they were still hashing, which they're obviously not.  As an alternative, they're offering to buy my contracts for $0.18/GH, which is pitiful, but better than zero.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M903V-uwGg  for the people who use this it's updated now Smiley

and for the people who think it's a virus fuck off!

SHA256 is not crackable by any means with modern computing, so anyone that claims to be able to do so is probably lying for their own benefit.
Even if SHA256 was crackable, the program would need to know the nonce value (Bets Made With Pair).

i saw a guy on there called akcoinminer that lost over -800 btc. and this was when btc value was like $600 value.
Yeah, if anyone has 800 BTC and they feel like gambling it, just give me the 800, I'll pay you 400 in return, and we can both leave with good money in our pockets.  Wink

Thank you PD for the 1 BTC of profit.  I tried really hard to make more than that, but I give up.  Maybe I'll play the faucet next week if get bored.  Smiley

16  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: windows has closed port 8333 on: December 17, 2014, 03:57:06 PM
Shut down the Bitcoin client, then try connecting to port 8333 using telnet from another machine.  If you get connection refused, the port is open.  If it hangs, it's firewalled.

If you get connection refused when the client is closed, but it hangs when it's running, then it's a problem with the client not answering.

Thoughts on why the hashing rate plummeted to 1.7 P?
The easiest answer is that they shut down the rest of the miners to save money, or to sell them.  I imagine that some of that hash power belonged to customers, unless those customers have managed a refund or something.  Otherwise they probably could have used the spare hashes to provide RRP when it was originally due 3 months ago.

After 6 days of nothing mined, something has been mined today. Not alot.
My payment today was 30% less than what I expected.  I assume that they would divvy up the block payment based on today's hash rates, not the average hash rate over the last 6 days, which would be more difficult to calculate.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are merchants not serious about the advantages of Bitcoin? on: December 16, 2014, 03:29:21 PM
If I were a merchant, there is no incentive for me to accept bitcoin. Payment gateways charges the same fee as credit card companies
True.  Everyone talks about how Bitcoin has no merchant fees, but they have to pay to convert BTC to fiat, pay for development costs or integration with a payment processor, and worry about the exchange rate.  With credit cards, fees and chargebacks are known and built into the cost of doing business.  With BTC, they're not as well known.

The advantage for Bitcoin is not retail sales.  It's person-to-person payments, long distance payments, micro or mass payments, and high risk businesses where credit card fraud is a big problem.

The chance of happening 10 loses in a row is a lot more common than 1/1024. I don't know how you get that number but do you realize that every single bet is independent from each other? It seems you don't, like %90 of matingale users.That means you cant exactly predict the time of that +10 losing serie(s). You may get 10+ loses in your first session. than bam. you re out.
At the 50% level, the chance of losing 10 times in a row is 0.5^10, which is 0.098%, or 1/1024.  But that's just an average.  It could happen at any time, or even multiple times.  Also remember that whether you're betting manually or automatically, you can rack up 1024 rolls more quickly than you might think.

No blocks mined in 5 days?  Even with the 1.72 PH that's left, we should be averaging 1 block per 28 hours.  I need another contract payment so I can tell if it's the right amount or if part of it is being stolen to pay someone else.
