1  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-09-29] Luxury Watchmaker Hublot Unveils New Model, Available for BTC only on: September 29, 2018, 02:33:52 PM
Swiss luxury watch brand Hublot has unveiled its new watch Big Bang Blockchain in an official announcement September 19. The new model has been released to commemorate the upcoming 10th anniversary of Bitcoin (BTC).

As per Hublot’s release, the 210-piece limited edition can only be purchased with BTC. The number of units symbolises the fact that the number of bitcoins will never exceed 21 million.


If the price is right, I will buy one.

I doubt it very much.  I think the price for btc will be below $ 20,000 by the end of the year.  I think the price will grow 2 times and no more.

If that is the case, then it is a good consolidation. The price could rise a lot next year.
3  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2017-11-14]Chinese officicals ban using state energy for mining on: November 14, 2017, 06:46:06 PM
This can only mean one thing. The Chinese government wants to use that electricity for something else.

Yes, they want to use that electricity for their factories and population.
China is a huge importer of energy, they are buying coal gas oil everything.
They even plan on buying LNG from the US.

It's about trying to be less reliant on imports and when you think about the 2 trillion in exports that feed the Chinese economy the tiny income from mining is not worth the risk.
Especially since because of NK sanctions they have to forfeit a lot of coal imports.

But this is probably the best news I've got in a month time!!!!!


I do not think so. The Chinese has excessive amount of energy.

Yes they are. It is always same thing happening after price drops. Whales will start accumulating slowly until they cause next big explosion to make people buy in around expensive prices.

Do you think they are accumulating Bitcoin Cash?

Nvm, fixed by plugging monitor into that GPU Shocked

Use an hdmi dummy plug if you can't keep a monitor attached all the time or at least once every reboot.

Is there an inexpensive source for those? On eBay they seem to be around $15 minimum and cannot find on Aliexpress.

$15 is quite cheap now.
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Daily use of bitcoin? on: February 23, 2017, 11:28:07 AM
I use bitcoin for some shopping online, pay the electricity token, pulse and so on. the thing that makes me happy is bitcoin transactions with more rapid and inexpensive cost.

I did the same. I bought graphics cards to mine altcoins.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: NOW is a good time for a hack! on: January 04, 2017, 02:13:28 PM
While its funny, its really a good time for a hacker to find vulnerability for bitcons. And if they are smart enough they can work with a huge bitcoin exchange to set up a hacking incident and the exchange can declare thu are hacked.

I think the hack happens internally. When the exchanges steals the coin, and they can short and claim hack and get more money.

A virtual bank account perhaps, the banking sector is preparing to go virtual as some of its services are now accessible online. There is also a proposal to create a bitcoin bank but i think there is no need because online wallets already serves as bitcoin banks for storing/saving your bitcoins. When Jack Ma said that everyone should have a bank account, bitcoin wallets might be included.
A bitcoin bank is unnecessary but you can be sure they are going to try it and people will fall for it because they keep falling with the very same tricks over and over, they will say your coins will be more safe with them, that they know what they are doing and what is best for you, the same old story.

A bitcoin bank is necessary if you want to borrow bitcoin.
9  Economy / Economics / Re: Alibaba’s Jack Ma: “Everyone Should Have a Bank Account.” on: December 20, 2016, 08:22:28 AM
The adoption of bitcoin is a process as the whole world is gradually moving towards cashless transactions.
I believe once we become fully cashless, bitcoin will go mainstream and banks might no longer be needed.
But we'll need institutions to grant loans so there should still be some form of banking system in place.

It is difficult to adopt the bitcoin if the transaction confirmation is too long.

MOAR CHINA WILL MAKE BITCOIN SOAR!

 Huh

That is right. The bitcoin is everybody own bank. So Everybody will get some bitcoin to manage the money himself.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Zcash under botnet!? on: November 20, 2016, 05:20:50 PM
There was a fairly large botnet mining Monero at one point, so a botnet mining Zcash would not be surprising.
Most miners are picked up as viruses, but since Zcash is so new, most compiled miners wouldn't be picked up yet.
That would be another reason to choose Zcash for this type of operation.
(Save time by using an already tested/ established miner without having to re-compile.)

The Monero is still mined by the botnet at the moment. That is the reason why the price is still quite low.
12  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: did you put all your money into bitcoin? on: October 17, 2016, 04:45:12 PM
Same here i put my money into bitcoin since year ago and now i am making a profit.. i am still not satisfied for the price today and block halving is not done yet so i will wait more days after block halving before i sell my bitcoin so that you i can make more profit..
Never put all your money into the bitcoin because what if the price falls to the bottom and all of your money is into the bitcoin i dont think you will get back anything of that
because everything is lost.

Correct. You should follow what experts commonly agree that in terms of investing, you need to diversify your portfolio so as to mitigate the risks. If you only place all of your eggs in 1 basket and that basket falls, then you lose all of those eggs - compared to placing all of your eggs to different baskets and if 1 or 2 will fall, you still have many that are up and earning you some money.

Those experts will just transfer your money to their pockets by providing advice. Do not trust them.

 Grin Grin Grin  Wink Wink Wink

Its with DUAL mining....

Ok, I'm impressed!  Grin

Is this stock or mod ROM? Reference card? 4 GB or 8 GB?

I would love to get 25~26 MH/s with ~50 watt...

Can you please help me?

Thanks  Cheesy

That is 45W from the GPU reading. If you add another 70W from the PCIE slot, that is 115W in total, for 130W from the wall.

What is the performance of Wolf's XMR GPU miner on the AMD R9 Nano? Is that much faster than R9 390?
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [SDC] ShadowCash Speculation. on: September 04, 2016, 09:44:26 AM

The price will reach $10 soon!

In the future, yeah. There was a big pump for SDC in poloniex a couple days ago. Who know's how long that pump will last.

Even today, the price of ShadowChash is rising, when most other coins are dropping in price relative to bitcoin.
16  Economy / Speculation / Re: $500 Within 2 Months? on: August 21, 2016, 03:27:52 PM
Am I the only one that think bitcoin will reach $500 within the next two months?

For fun, maybe you should ask this again. But this time in reverse. Smiley

There is a possibility for it to happen as we have seen in the movement of bitcoin in the past. Anything can happen.

If there is no negative news related to bitcoin, the price of bitcoin will not drop below $500. It will be $600 soon.

I do not think so. The investors are more interested in the altcoin at the moment.

If you look at the trading volumes, the altcoins have more trading volumes.

Am I the only one that think bitcoin will reach $500 within the next two months?

i hope that happen sooner bro  Grin

If the bitcoin reach $500 within 2 months, that means a $140 drop from the current price, I do not want that to happen.
18  Economy / Speculation / Re: $500 Within 2 Months? on: July 07, 2016, 07:02:22 PM
2 months is allong time i dont think he wil drop 100 dollar in 2 months and i dont think the can rise 100 dollar in 2 months there can happen
allot more in 2 months than drop or rise just 100 dollar. So make sure you are here with the right information.

The bitcoin price dropped 10% in the last 24 hours. It seems it will drop further. This could be due to the halving.
19  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price falling?? on: June 23, 2016, 12:08:55 PM
Bitcoin price today is falling a little bit but its ok and i think we will still see the price will hit in $600 this month.
and i think thats why the price of bitcoin is decreases many people are satisfied what the price today.. so more dump are coming and more buyers will come..

I am not so optimistic. The price could around $550 around 10 July, the halving time. The price needs to breath.

I did not believe that a few days ago. But the price is $590 now. There could be a possibilty the price will be around current level then.
20  Economy / Speculation / Re: $500 Within 2 Months? on: June 11, 2016, 02:09:02 PM
The OP was from Feb 14. It is more than 3 months from that date, but nevertheless, the price is $500 now.
well then it was pretty good prediction i must admit, because if he bought the bitcoins back then, he must have made some reasonable profit because of this last price growth

in my opinion, the price will not stop going up thus allowing us to make some good money, the halving is coming and more and more people will buy bitcoins with their spare money

I hope you're right.But sooner or later we will see a correction.
Therefore some more upwards movement wouldn't be bad for $500+ being the new bottom.

not only that, but a lot of people are not selling any time soon because everyone knows the halving is coming and holding is the wisest thing to do right now.



I agree with this. It is a bad time to sell as the bitcoin price will rise a lot in the next few months at least.
