[clean and legal revenue for a company in the USA regardless of crypto restrictions]

I dont know if this has been used by anyone but i'm going to coin a new term I think is appropriate.  I call it the Incentive Token.  Its the latest scheme in the crypto land slash industry that has taken the exchange world by storm.

What is an incentive token ?  It is a reward scheme that is structured in a precise way to provide strong incentives to achieve a particular goal for the founders.  Instead of directly profiting off a token, siphoning off the dev funds or other well known schemes, the incentive token provides clean and legal revenue for a company in the USA regardless of crypto restrictions.

Arguably the first real large-scale incentive token is the DYDX token.  This token is not emitted by the dydx corporation, but by the dydx foundation.  Nevermind the fact that the foundation awards tokens to the corporation, and that it is called a governance token.  It is certainly not in the pure sense of the word, since the dydx corporation maintains a deciding vote at all times and so no decision can be made against its interests.  It is not designed to provide governance, democracy (1$-1 vote ? not even, we are beyond that) or a mechanism to provide change.  No !  It is designed for one, and only one precise goal : To drive legal and clean revenue into the dydx corporation, regardless of SEC considerations.

And it works.  Soon, all new exchanges (or even old ones), DEX's, or other projects will copy paste the business model.  If they do not, they will surely fail vs the competition that does.  So lets take a look at how it all works.

DYDX token started as a massive airdrop, but this is not the point of the following article.


Lets talk about DYDX and why there is so much volume.  Also how to make insane amounts of money with little risk, if that's what you are into. Its all about dydx token farming - and you get it by generating fees and by having Open interest.  I would call this a scheme by dydx team, since all fees go in their pockets.  35 Million last month, much more this month.  Lets get started !

Open as many account pairs as you are able to.  One account is long bitcoin or ethereum, the other short.  Using very high leverage, say 10X or more you are able to create high open interest.  The formula is Fees(^0.7) X Open Interest (^0.3).  Your score/total score of everyone = your dydx tokens out of the monthly total of 3.8million or so.  Now when the market moves up or down, you need to have orders set up to reduce leverage so you dont get liquidated.  If the market moves too much, then you rebalance your USDC.  Simply withdraw USDC from 1st account, to the 2nd account.  Resume high leverage.  Do this for 1 full epoch and your Open Interest will be at maximum for your capital.  Now for the fees, for this it is better to get hummingbot for algorithmic trading, but not necessary.

During the month, you can have a strategy to build up fees paid by market making/arbitrage, or scalping.  But you dont have to.  In the last 3 days of the epoch (lasts a month), you now have your estimated rewards.  Now is the time to reduce open interest and focus on fees.

Since the Bitcoin market spread is very low (due to token farming people, like you), you can buy/sell for a 0.01% loss at will.  Spend all your capital if you have to, simply calculate your estimated trader score vs total and see what 1$ in fees will return you in dydx tokens.  Last epoch an 1$ extra in fees got you about 10-15x minimum extra dydx tokens.  This month will be less, but still interesting.  So you maximize fees, literally losing money on purpose to get fees paid to dydx team.  Just to increase score.

Now you wait a few days and are able to claim your dydx tokens from your 20-30-40-50 account pairs or how ever many you have.  Just dont use an USA IP and you are good to go.  The system was designed this way to make dydx team massive amounts of money in fees.

Another interesting aspect is that everyone is currently sending their capital on dydx, TVL has increased by over 100% in a few days to now almost a billion $.  They call dydx a governance token, but your vote has no weight, since the team/investors have 50% of all tokens, and only about 8-10% of tokens are available to users.  It literally takes quadruple the amount of existing tokens to pass a vote, so not going to happen unless the team/investors decide that's what they want.

So happy token farming, its a minimum 10% a month, at best a lot more capital a month.  Risk is dydx token price which seems to be priced just right to have fees come in  Welcome to the age of the "Incentive Tokens".  Mr. Gensler/SEC might want to step in front of this, because this is the new thing that replaces everything.  The Incentive token age is upon us all.  Adapt or die, all other exchanges.


In order for the scheme to continue, the dydx token price will have to increase dramatically for each further epoch - as more people come in, rewards per person/$ goes down.  So far people have made over 1000% return in two months with this strategy, and although returns are down a lot, it is still very viable.  Now you see that the dydx token price and distribution are very closely aligned with driving TVL, open interest and trading fees in the platform.  Such is the success of this strategy that dydx now is pretty much in the top ranking of all exchanges, from pure obscurity only 3 months ago.

The dydx team has collected 35 million in fees in september, and expect that to be probably above 100 million in October.  Pure, clean, legal revenue.  Unless of course, you decide that the dydx foundation and corporation arent actually seperate entities.  If you are american, you cannot trade in dydx (most use vpns, those are not banned in practice).  If you partake in this strategy, do not "wash trade" to save the spread when you buy/sell for the only purpose of generating fees.  This will get you banned.  But having accounts with a neutral position offset will not.  Just be careful, the last few hours you will see people DDOSing the platform to prevent others from racking up their trader score at the last minute.  Or simply platform overload from everyone doing this.  The reason they wait until the very end is to have some predictability in the returns.

Til next sheme,

So heres the deal, a person I know had a paper wallet, who then put it in block.io for some reason, then forgot about it.  Technically its Dogecoin, but since its a shitty fork of bitcoin i think its relevant to bitcoin discussion.

What block.io gives me as information for recovery is:

BIP32 Public key: d...
BIP32 Private key: d...
bip32 derivation path m/i/0
Second Public key: 0....
Second Private key: Q....
Redem Script format: 2 BIP32_public_key_for_node_i 0.... 2 OP_CHECKMULTISIG
test redeem script (i=0): 2 0.... 2 OP_CHECKMULTISIG
P2SH/P2WSH-over-P2SH/PSWSH Address (i-0): 9...

if I try to importprivkey with the private key starting with d.... it doesnt work, so I figured I had to convert it, that gave me something that started with 5 which doesnt work out, so i figure my mistake is there.  Anybody has any ideas?

Its a xmas gift I gave him as a paper wallet, and of course they always fuck everything up even though you clearly tell them clear and simple instructions.  not their fault I guess but now I want to help but god damn I dont remember this shit from 8 years ago

edit : nvm got it wont post solution since I dont remember exactly what i did

-Take lots of people from every single country on the planet and fly them all to a single location, where you know they will "mingle" (olympics is a big party for athletes)
-The WHO (who have lost a lot of credibility) supports the games because sanitary measures are followed, ignoring the fact that its a big melting pot of people
-No obligation on vaccination, many athletes are not vaccinated and do not want to be because it may impact training and performance
-Incorporate the Delta variant in there which transmits the virus 2-3x faster
-Knowing these are mostly young and very healthy people, they will not get sick much but they will still transmit the virus

How in the world does anyone think its a good idea ?  Everyone then returns to their country of origin and spreads the new variants everywhere.  Its like a big SARS convention (covid-19 is a SARS virus, can be very serious depending on mutations, see original SARS virus in Hong Kong and Toronto)

We all know the Olympic Committee loves to accept bribes (see previous scandals) and the Japan economy kinda needs it, but now you know why 80% of people in Tokyo dont want the olympics.

If there is a major development with Covid this autumn/winter, history books will point to the olympics as the dumbest thing humanity has done.  I'm also not for closing the world down, far from it, we should embrace technology and remote work - including Bitcoin and cryptocurrency - for payments and wages across the globe.

Also its fine to go on vacation, but really, all inclusive resorts and cruises ?  Thats also a dumb terrible idea.  People want to go back to "normal".  There is no normal to go back to.  There is only adaptation and mitigation.

Name your price but going price for 470s mining edition for example is quite low. 

First, I dont care what your politics are.  And second, USA cannot tell people what they can or cant do anymore.  Bitcoin bitch.

I dismissed the Petro outright, and never gave it a second thought.  Then for some reason today, I read the whitepaper.  Its probably one the better whitepapers for a crypto currency that I have read in a long time.  Its well written, not full of shit, is technologically sound, basically Maduro or some fanatical socialist didnt write it.  Someone competent did.

So go read it.  Im not saying buy into the pre-sale or the ICO (which I wont personally), which you shouldn't - because fuck ICOs and pre-sales - but still.  The crypto coin is instamined, and emission is 0 after.  The crypto will float in value on exchanges, like any shitcoin, but the difference here is that if you need to pay the Gov of Venezuela taxes, fees, or anything gov related they will accept the crypto.  And at what price ?  Well at its fair value, i.e. oil price.  Unfortunately, lol, they dont accept the crypto directly, its converted into shitvars (bolivars) at the moment of payment.  And whooooooooo sets the exchange rate, well, the gov of course, based on gov approved exchange prices !  So they arent stupid, and any abuse on the crypto will just be brushed off with massive devaluation of that specific exchange rate.

But a sovereign State has just put out a Crypto-Currency, accepted for all payments, making it *legal tender by definition* IS A BIG FUCKING DEAL.  Its amazing and its progress, and you should all support it on a moral basis.  The argument of the dictator and human rights is very valid, I will not brush that off.  The fucking guy talks to dead people live on air.  But still, in what conditions did you expect to see this evolution in crypto ?  Is the question I ask.  

A great day for freedom, it is.  I dont care how that sounds, it is true.  However ironic it may be for a Venezuelan.

"
Welcome to the future.

We are in the process of implementing technology that permits an output of goods and services that is magnitudes more than previously thought possible.  Never in history has the output of goods been so efficient.

I have been replaced by computers.  I have no more career.  I am useless now.  But I am not useless as a human being.  I can volunteer, stay healthy, learn new things, become a better person, involve myself in the community and make the world a better place.  Try to make my world a better place.  Growth, utility and incentive/behavioral based economics have run their course and although their models do permit us to many great things, they fail to capture most externalities.  It turns out that these externalities have a much greater impact on our civilization than has been previously accepted.

Remember the only goal of our civilization is survival.  Not as individuals, but as a whole.  Our institutions are what is truly important, not who you vote for or who is elected.  Beware when institutions change, for great turmoil is ahead.

What value does a human being provide to society when that person performs actions that in no way shape or form betters society, or even maintains it ?  Negative value.  Zero present value and negative opportunity value and negative externalities. Working a minimum wage job that can be replaced by a machine is a net loss for society.  The more low paying workers you have spending most of their available time and resources on near useless work, the more society goes into the negative.

As the old saying goes, breaking windows and replacing them is no basis for a sound economy.  Well neither is most low paid labor.  In current economics we would define the efficiency point of manual labor vs automation by either calculating capital costs/labor/output and expand until the marginal cost approaches marginal return.  In layman's terms, that means "don't ask for a pay raise, because I'll have a machine replace you".  For the closed employee-employer capital-labor ecosystem that works, but as a society it does not.  The opportunity cost of having perfectly worthwhile human beings waste their lives is immense.  It is even reflected upon later generations.  Negative externalities abound - crime, poverty, school dropouts, weak social participation, weak personal responsibility for immediate surroundings - are all much more present in areas were low paying workers live.  This is not a coincidence, nor is it a innate trait.  Weak social mobility and the poverty trap are also negative externalities of lost potential.

Basic income.  Once you separate "pay" from "work" things become clearer.  Your pay is not in relation to your work.  It is based on the demand and supply of available trained workers and the demand and supply for the goods and services they produce.  Lowly workers do not see this, for they never pocket the surplus but always pocket the shortfalls.  When society produces great surplus, only a fraction of it appears at the margin.  And the law of decreasing returns also applies here.  Taxes are paid on a local level, yet operations are now on a global playing field.  In practice, this means the only people that are taxed are those that play in the local playing field.  It puts an additional burden on society which reaps yet more negative externalities.  Our economic models are flattening out.  Growth is flattening and so is production, population and productivity.  This is unacceptable.  We are not a log based civilization and even linear progress is not acceptable for our long term survival and prosperity.  Our survival is at stake here.  We all can see what road we are on right now, but only a few dare stick their heads out and look where the road leads.

The path to a reputation based utility system is one that I shall propose.  It is already in effect, but is distorted.  After all even the White House, the embodiment of the past, celebrates the greatest volunteers and achievers of this world with awards and a meet and greet with the president.  Who is respected more, Warren Buffet or Jonas Salk ?  What has more value, Goldman Sachs or Public Broadcasting ?  I'm sure Mister Rogers would like to have a nice little chat with all of you.  We already operate on a reputation based society and now it is time to use this foundation to grow in the 21st century.  Ideology must be left behind in order to see reality.

The transition.  It will be difficult for many.  To be told they are useless.  To realize it.  To understand it.  But they will not dig a hole and wait to perish, nor will they stay home and consume pointless hours of meaningless entertainment or even engulf themselves in the abyss that is alcohol and substance abuse.  They will be free, and that will empower them. Freedom to have a future.  Freedom to choose and have choices.  Freedom to explore themselves as human beings and freedom to contribute to society in a positive way.  Free to properly raise their children so that they will become a positive force in the world, not its victims.  Free to mold the future, not be shaped by it.  Free to stand up and work on something worth doing.  Free to think.

Basic income is not expensive.  It presents a net gain for society, and so in that sense it is more than free.  But in our current framework it is a cost.  To spearhead the transition we must stand on the shoulders of giants and march forwards.  These giants are our financial institutions and the foundations of our society.  Different cultures and societies are free to provide a different form of basic income - in exchange for work, volunteering, military service or schooling.  Basic Income needs not be free.  Nor is it.  But it needs to be universal, like basic rights that are bestowed upon every human being the moment he takes his first breath.

Every human being will be given credit that will permit them to work from a position of relative comfort - where his efforts are not wasted on simple survival, food gathering or finding basic shelter and security.  This credit will come from the local and national governments that provide services and taxes its citizens.  This situation will put a major strain on the budget and will not be feasible.  The government operates in the local level, and so the implementation needs to be supported by the global playing field.  A basic income financial institution will be created with token capital from the local institutions.  This institution will disburse credit to all that are eligible.  The institution will benefit from extremely low capital ratio rules and will have no reserve requirements.  Its money - or debt - will be deposited directly in other institutions as per usual.  At the end of each cycle, or year, that institution will be deemed bankrupt and will be liquidated.  The same day, a new Institution will be formed, with a token capital injection.  The direct cost to society will be a sliver of a fraction of the actual money disbursed.  The benefits will be local - and global.  The costs will be globally shared.

In order to sustain the system, the central banks will have to adjust policy to simulate a yearly significant banking default in the system and will have to compensate.  The global field can support a distribution of the costs throughout the system, because the externalities are positive.  This provides a net positive gain for society.  Inflation and growth will pick up, which is an arguably good thing in this era of near zero inflation and abysmal growth.  Remember asset purchases by central banks is a form of basic income for financial institutions. Interests rates will rise, which is also a good thing in this world of a broken interest rate system.  At a local level, borrowing profiles of the citizens will improve and loan defaults will go down.  People will save more and thus we will have more investment capital.  The positive feedback loops from these actions will echo even in the darkest reaches areas of our society, areas our society wishes didn't exist.  And with a little bit of luck and hard work, they won't exist much longer.

Hi everyone. 

I have been doing some automated trading for a long time now, and actually used to do this for a living before.  Before crypto.  In any case, a few words of warning.  If you do trade with code, then monitor your stuff.  Dont wake up in 2 weeks, oh my balance is 0 ?!?.  Check it all the time.  Remember you are competing against others who have algo code, and they will notice, and they will adapt.  Thats the game.  When I say algo trading, I usually mean arbitrage trading.  In crypto land its a little different.  Since pools and others auto sell coins, you can manage to always buy on the bid or under, then automatically sell and dump if the price goes down.  On relatively stable coins this is very profitable.  If you do 3%, or even 1% profit after fees per trade, and 100 trades a day, well....after a few months it adds up you see.  But its actually hard work too.  

So.  A lot of people want to learn how to do this, and want to learn how to code.  Here is an example that you can use, inspire yourself, and understand from.  Good luck.  Its written in python, 2.7.x, and the code IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING I AM WARNING YOU.  If you are a programmer you will be shaking your head so violently that you may get a brain aneurysm but I am NOT, and this is one of the first algos I wrote so it is what it is.  The beauty of it is this :  When you write it, you will notice many things that can be put in 1 line vs 50 lines of code.  Then you can learn how to do it and improve yourself.

This snippet will connect to cryptopia exchange.  Recently I have been away a lot and stopped it since I cannot monitor it.  Last time I had some rejected api calls errors, etc, so you'll have to figure it out too.  it will auto buy and sell ONION based on your inputs - price, size, and the size you are searching for in the market.  You want to "position" yourself well compared to other orders.  Obligatory donation address if this helped you learn coding a bit.  1ACkmSnoVPTCHiWAAvmQigwoofu55XfRVj  (btc).  Remember to set fees very low if you dont care how fast it gets there...

If you are a person who trades like this and is mad because im putting code out there for free, maybe you need to re-evaluate how much you think you and your work are worth.  
If you want to post how much my code is shit, please do.  But also post how to make it better.  

EDIT:  posted on cryptominingtalk.com because I cant here.

I have six codes that need to be activated on amd rewards.  I sorta got banned and im kinda lazy and though maybe someone here would be interested.
im selling them for 10$ cad equivalent in bitcoin each, or if you buy all six 50$.  I dont think the codes have any restriction, but I am north america if that matters.

Locked thread is here :  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2249799.0

This is the thread for people who wish to discuss the coin !
A lot of people have asked me why the rewards are what they are.  Well, they are in relation to the value of a bitcointalk account.  Which is why a newbie account is worth 0, and a legendary account 32.

Thanks to all for participating !

EDIT   There are : 2579 coins in circulation, including DEV fee (5% of circulating coins, not total coins) and bounties.  The rest of the balance will be kept in case some people didnt get their coins, and then I will send it to a irretrievable address.

ABOUT

The LEARN-EUM Foundation is a Canadian based initiative that will take blockchain technology to the classroom with real world applications.  LEARN-EUM puts the power of cryptocurrency in the hands of teachers and parents to encourage students to perform better and to get motivated.  The more students are motivated to go to class and participate, the more they learn.  The more students are integrated in the learning process, the more they succeed.  Students receive LEARN-EUM by showing effort, good grades or completing tasks, and can redeem them for participation in contests, extracurricular activities or class privileges and rewards.  There is no limit to the uses of LEARN-EUM, the teachers and parents set the rules and distribute the tokens according to their own adaptation of the concept. 

LEARN-EUM is based on the Ethereum token technology, and will be deployed with a PC/MAC and Android/IOS user friendly wallet.  When a teacher registers its classroom online, tokens are delivered completely free to the wallet.  Then the teachers are free to distribute the tokens, and set rules for redemption at will.  Students can also trade tokens between themselves easily through QR code scanning on smartphones.  Parents are encouraged to watch the progression in the classroom by viewing the personalized and user friendly blockchain explorer.

There are many implementation examples that can benefit students and teachers alike.  Students can be rewarded for physical exercise with tokens, for example by walking to school and participating in sports and activities.   

TOKEN LIFE CYCLE

All Donators to the project are given tokens and they can be traded.  There is a fixed number of tokens created.  When a classroom or organization signs up to the program, a number of tokens are given to the main wallet - the teacher wallet of the classroom for example.  Those tokens are purchased on exchanges from the pool of available tokens from the foundations funds.  These funds include all initial donations, returns on its capital and its revenue stream.  Once the project becomes popular, the foundations funds will go down.  The free nature of the project will be maintained by advertisements and sponsorship deals in-bedded in the wallets, website and blockchain explorer.  These will create a revenue stream which will keep the project alive.

So this is a motherboard from hell.  I made a post on my website to help people with it.  The info is sourced from the official 570/580 thread, big thanks to atanas012 (i believe it is him who came up with the driver solution).  Check it out here:  www.cryptominingtalk.com/6-gpu-rx570-with-z170a-rig-build/

And now you can stop bashing your head against the wall.  God damn the z170a...god damn it.

Besides the ZEN thing, I havent heard a word from them anywhere.  bitcointalk forum thread is pretty much dead.  Support does not answer emails (so far), and transactions (at least for me) are pending.  Emails are not sent either.  Anybody else have trouble withdrawing from bittrex ?  I have an old account, and i'm withdrawing a small amount of btc, so nothing related to the account or the btc could be the problem IMO.

thought ?

Looking for one 30 amp PDU and maybe also a 20 amp PDU, 240v.  Like a tripp lite 1230 or something similar.

Time to get Schwifty  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ctK1aoWuqY

Ok.  Here is a new contest, brought to you by the good folks at www.cryptominingtalk.com (...well..me).  This contest is funded exclusively by ad revenue (people clicking on ads) and mostly by the amazon referral program, where you can click on the amazon link and then buy your stuff.  The website typically gets a small cut of the purchase, and I decided to give it back to the community.  So if you want to help out, there will be bigger prizes in the future  Thanks in advance.

I am also giving some prizes away in another thread by Philipma57 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1774597.80;topicseen).  He has given away a lot in diff guessing contests and I wanted to help out a bit.  Feel free to join and participate.

There is a lot of greed in the crypto world, but also a lot of good will.  Part of the fun and attraction of cryptocurrency is the mining part - the building, experimenting, tinkering and just "making it work".  So in the spirit of sharing, I hereby open thy contest.

-You must post a picture of your GPU or ASIC mining rigs, and/or cooling solutions.  It doesnt have to be flashy and well organised - It can be improvised and home made.  Points are given for originality, function, and mostly effort.
-I will decide the winner.  If there is no clear winner (probably wont be, since this is quite subjective), I will choose a number of submissions (probably 5), and choose the winner randomly.
-At the same time, feel free to discuss your rigs with other members, help out others, etc.  If you see unsafe setups, please don't hold back.  Safety is number one in mining.

Unfortunately I have decided to open the contest to everyone, except newbies.  sorry.  To prove that the rig you are posting is indeed yours, you must have some sort of identifier (a sign saying cryptominingtalk contest or your username for example).  Although this isnt mandatory.

Prize for the winner is:  1x USB Riser, one of the latest versions, shipped to you (Canada and USA only).  If you live elsewhere or don't want it, you can choose to receive 0.01btc.  Contest ends on the last day of March.

edit:  If a lot of people post their rigs, I may end the contest earlier than in one month.  I also might do 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place prizes.  Or maybe Most original, Most functional, Most ghetto, etc.

I have some downtime for a couple weeks/months maybe til autumn.  I am available for thread management, support, answering questions, basically delivering top notch customer service and public relations.  Reply here or PM me if you are looking for someone to actively be there for your project.

I guess i'm looking for a new sig campaign after QTum ran out, awesome sig campaign by the way.  Anyways, anybody renting signature space ?  I do vet the sig and do not advertise certain....unsavory things.

Wusssssup everyone.  I know there a lot of threads on this, and I have read a lot of them.  But i'd like some second opinion.  Here is the thing - I have a 100amp box in my house (in the garage).  my rigs are in the garage.  So far, i'm on 120v because everything was setup for that, etc, and i was adding rigs little by little.  I am pretty much maxed out or soon will be (insofar as amperage is concerned).  So I have only 2 spaces left (well one, but i'll take one breaker out).  I was thinking of putting a 240v 60 Amp breaker there, to a second box with 2 30amp 240v breakers.  Then get 2x24amp PDU's, each on its own socket, and then 5-6 rigs on each PDU.  Also I need to put a surge protector board thing at the breaker.  For exhausting heat, I was thinking simply buying a high cfm window fan, or one of those commercial ones with flexible ducting that I can tape to the window.  they run 100-150$.  I have no intake really, so all the air will be drawn from the basement, with windows open in other rooms.

What do you guys think ?  I'm going to hire a cheap electrician my friend knows, I dont want to fuck with my insurance policy.  Plus I would need a permit for the second box.  god damn.
