1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Dogecoin core [bootstrap issue] on: May 17, 2017, 06:43:41 PM
Hello everyone, I wanted my Dogecoin Core wallet back in order, and decided to download the 12.5 GB bootstrap file available, but I am supposed to put it into Appdata / Roaming / Dogecoin but the folder does not exist

I then put it into my main folder "Dogecoin" which is located in A:/Software but it does not boot the file up, it says 3 years and XX months behind, what is the issue here? Sad

Best regards
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / I want to give "day trading" a go, question is where? on: May 11, 2017, 05:03:26 PM
Hello everyone,

I thought of giving day trading a go, I do have a limit of funds to invest into this project, and it's XXXX, I am also aware that I CAN and WILL most likely loose funds doing this, but I am doing this for "fun" and my limit or spendings on this project is not making me homeless nor is it going to make me cry, if I do end up loosing.

I just wanted to know, what kind of platform everyone is using for day trading, or trading in general, which site should I avoid, give me your best suggestions :-)

Thank you!

Hello again everyone.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my first thread, I got advised to start mining altcoins instead of focusing on Bitcoin, since it's going to be a rough ride if I want to get on that wagon.

I went onto "whattomine.com" and saw that Zcash was good in price, but since I dont have linux, Zcash is not possible for me right now.

I then got rather confused, because alot of mining are based on graphics cards, but mostly graphics cards besides Nvidia?

So my question is, what altcoin should i focus on, I am currently sitting with an I7 4790K CPU and Nvidia Geforce GTX970

Thanks!
Alex.

Hello everyone!

I have been searching around the forums for a while now, to figure out what's best for me in terms of Bitcoin mining.

I have one of those small Antminer USB's, but let's face it.... it will take me a year, and i'm up to 50 cents or MAYBE 1$

There is no way, at this current time i will have the space, nor the equipment to set up my own bitcoin farm, so...

I had a look at Genesis Mining, I have been a customer there before, and everything was running smoothly, now my contract ran out, i'd have to buy myself another contract with them.

But is this my solution, perhaps buying 1 TH/s from Genesis Mining, or can someone recommend a company that does sorta the same?

Thanks!

Alex.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Ethereum "geth" is taking forever on: May 16, 2016, 05:26:56 AM
Hello everyone,

I was thinking of giving Ethereum mining a shot, and started setting up the basic's for it,

One of them was to get "geth" and in the terminal "geth account new" it would ask you to set a password which i did, and then geth --rpc

And this is where my question comes in, how long does this process take, it's literally been standing the most of yesterday, i let the computer on during the night, and it's STILL running,

It's making progress, so instead of:

07:24:51 core/blockchain.go:959 imported 1 block(s) #1526017

It's going up in numbers after the "#" so #1526017 becomes 18, 19 etc.

Thanks!
6  Bitcoin / Mining / Perhaps a really dumb question(am i mining?) on: May 14, 2016, 03:24:45 PM
Hello everyone,

Since i am very new to mining, this will be a very stupid question to 99.8% of the whole forum, but i have to start it out somewhere.

I bought an Antminer, 2 GH/S a while ago, and connected it to multipool.us, just for starters, and i copied the command line into a bat file, and it seems to be running okay.

But i'm not sure if it is mining or not, i took a screenshot of the interface itself, i can't get it onto the forums, without people having to click on a link, but here it is:

Thank you guys!

Best regards, Alex.
7  Bitcoin / Mining support / New guy to mining, where to start on: November 29, 2015, 08:55:11 PM
Hello everyone,

I came here the first time in 2013, but had alot to do in that year, so now i am finally back.

I have been looking into Bitcoin mining for several years now, but never really made it into mining anything, i once had some software that did run a miner for me, but that was a long time ago now, i have tried several programs now, but none of them supports a Nvidia Geforce 970, so i canīt even mine from my GPU, besides i have also heard that it would take million of years that way, so my actual question was more,

1) What do i need to solo mine? Since i have seen it being more popular these days to solo mine, i think it would be the best for me

2) What software could you guys recommend using?

3) I have been looking into hardware, at this stage of my life, spending 1000$ on a device for solo mining would be way too much, but less could do.

Thanks in advance.
