I bought 2k EVN back in the ICO.  I should laugh at myself.  Oh well.  I invested in a few other ICOs that are chugging along quite nicely.  No point in selling my coins for a 90% loss now.  Just gonna hold the bag and ride the roller coaster to the end.
One ICO banked majorly and covered my investments in everything, actually 

Upgraded to 11.0, and I don't know how or why, but something corrupted in ALL my mining rigs.  They've been running fine for almost 2 years.  All I do with them is log on in TeamViewer occasionally to see that GPU temps are good, and to install claymore updates when they come out.  Well, I updated all my rigs to 11.0, checked TeamViewer couple days later.  All offline.  Hmm, that's weird. Maybe a circuit breaker was tripped, maybe my girlfriend unplugged them for some reason?  Not too sure, so I go to investigate.  Everything looks ok, but I try to boot them up, some of them hard freeze right away, others hard freeze after I try launching claymore miner.  ALL RIGS!  Not one.  Not most.  ALL. So I spent the last 14 hours reformatting, reinstalling, and reconfiguring my mining rigs, and installed 10.9.  I don't know what was changed in 11.0, but I can almost guarantee that it was the culprit.

Rigs run combo of R9 390, RX 470, RX 480.  All on windows 10, all 4gb ram, mix of amd and intel chipsets.

So, I understand dividends are paid from their MMU mining profits in ETH.  I'm presuming the smart contract pays out the ETH to which ever wallet holds the coins at the time of payout?  Are there plans to release a specific pay out schedule?  I'm just wondreing if this leaves room open for people to 'game' the system.  Buy EVN tokens, receive payout, sell EVN tokens, etc.

Website owners will need to acquire GLA tokens to pay for DDOS protection services.  'Miners' will then sell these token back, on market, to website owners.  More people that want to use Gladius for DDOS protection, higher the price goes.  More people that want to be DDOS protection providers (miners) will make the market competitive, so in the long run it'll still end up being cheaper than paying cloudflare for example.

Very true, which is why it's so important to do your own research.  Some people learn the hard way, and not every project is a guarantee.

If anyone does the math on cryptopoolpond.com, you can tell the model is not sustainable and is a scam.  Even if everyone always pays 1%, the pool hash is not high enough for him to pay a 5 ETP daily reward from his pool fee.  I find it difficult to believe he just wants to give money away as an act of charity.

It's really tough to quantify how much certain settings affect lifespan of card versus other settings.  Key factory is heat, maybe overvolting, not sure.  The hottest I let my cards get is 62 degrees.  I use the closed shell design that blows air out the back of the GPU, but I've mounted everything sideways so the back now points up.  The component you most need to worry about when it comes to shortening lifespan is your PSU.  Make sure it's not running higher than 80% max wattage.  Thread may have been better off in mining subform, get more knowledgeable people looking at it.

Real reason to buy is because Queen_Amber bought first and needs you all to inflate the price so she can sell it back to you for profit.  But please, throw your money away, cuz it's a girl after all, right?

Every good pump and dump group needs to enlist a flock of suckers to buy the pumped coins and give profit to the first person.  Best of luck with your pump and dump BS. LOL at anyone that signs up, say bye to your funds.

I personally use Bittrex almost daily.  Very fast to process transactions, good exchange rates and high volume.  I have also used Poloniex and Bitfinex a lot.  I do not recommend those exchanges.  Poloniex has had some negative press from freezing accounts that soured me.  And with Bitfinex, frequently I would deposit a specific amount of BTC to trade for another coin (I don't like holding funds on exchange, only deposit to buy something else then withdrawal).  Far too frequently when I try to buy max, I end up with a negative BTC balance of like 0.000003 or something ridiculously small, and then they say they won't process your withdrawal because of a negative balance, so then you have to sell some of what you just bought (and their minimum trade size isn't quite to 'minimal') to restore your negative BTC balance. So I've decided to just leave like 0.0005 BTC on their exchange so this doesn't happen again.  It's pretty crappy that users have to troubleshoot their exchange like this to avoid problems.  Why the hell do they let you sell more BTC than you have?

Fear-of-missing-out is typically a social anxiety that "others are having fun without you", but it also applies as a financial social anxiety that "others are making money without you".  You are most likely suffering from this anxiety to a certain degree (a lot of us are!)...  But you decide how much you want this anxiety to govern your life.  Enjoy the fact that you are a unique person, and enjoy your life experiences, and try not to worry about what everyone else is doing.

Just saying, margin trading is a good way to lose money faster.  Greed and dreams of being rich are usually the biggest motivators for margin traders.

I'm 99% positive they'll hard fork.  No way Gavin Wood will just give up $92 million with a shrug of the shoulders.

Bitcoin is not gonna come along and freeze your funds, or return the money to a person that claimed you never shipped something.  Bitcoin doesn't have a hand in your pocket, or on your nuts.

I'm picturing OP holding GPU up to nose and snorting it for a high.

Honestly, though, the noise would be more my concern.  My basement sounds like I have a jet engine in there.

I'd say it's a difficult time to start up.  Building a rig is expensive compared to expected monthly income these days.  Probably take a year to get ROI.  Then again, we can't predict the future, and if you find cheap parts maybe you get lucky.

Honestly, bro, the best and most sincere advice I can give you is to do your own research and find your own winners.  By the time you get a consensus from the forum and make a decision based on the advice of others, you've already missed the boat.  You want to find something before we do, not after.

I sold 7.5 BTC last December.  FOMO sucks, don't let it get to you, brother.  Just think of it as opportunities, you find some, you miss others.  And as my favourite singer says
weep not for roads untraveled,
weep not for paths left alone.
because beyond every bend is a long winding end,
it's the worst kind of pain I've known

"No change" is suddenly good enough news to create a new all-time high.  Wow.  Does anyone realize how massive this BTC bubble really is right now?

I hear ya, bro.  Crypto though is like the wild west of the computer age.  Bandits, and highway robbery, and only you to protect yourself.  I think that's why people see accidents and thefts as normal part of the industry.
