Thanks for the input everyone. To address the suggestions, yes, there is onsite security 24/7. Since we have docking facilities we have MARSEC Level 1 security that can occasionally go to Level 2 but not since I've been here. The security wouldn't (shouldn't) have any extra cost associated with my proposal since their patrol encompasses the building already. The building is up to old-standards electrical code, but we have certified electricians on-site and unlimited electrical supplies at cost. The business has been at the same location since 1935 in one shape or another, zoned heavy industry, no chance of ever going residential (chemical plants, dump transfer nearby). I can talk to the property owner who is actually the minority shareholder in the business. Usually both owners are on the same page. The entire building is made from sheet metal and steel girders. Minimal wood fixtures. Most if not all could be replaced with cheap metal shelving so fire damage or ignition sources are negligible. Keep in mind this particular building was used to pour molten steel at temps over 2000 degrees! Almost as hot as a stack of Antminers!  |

What is the electricity cost and who is playing the bill?
$0.0550 per kWh give or take. On industrial rates there's discounts for on site transformation, metering etc. But there's also rate riders and surcharges I'm not aware of as well. I haven't approached the owner yet to find out the exact rate as I want to get a basic proposal ready first. The bill would probably be paid by the company I work for in order to obtain the high usage discount of the adjacent business. The cans serve the entire property, 10 acres of the same business.  |

Hey everybody. I've been mining since 2013 primarily at home. The electricity rates for residential are brutal with the 2-stepping they price hydro rates at now. I shut off all asic miners in the summer and run gpu miners on the always on home server (why not). There is an abandoned smelter located on the property at my work. http://imgur.com/RPGR5bzStill has lots of power coming in. (At the cheapest business industrial rate you can get) http://imgur.com/mLjRVqQYou can't see the ventilation, but its there. http://imgur.com/Vhcpc92The second level has lots and lots of racking! http://imgur.com/YwX0HlhWell, what do you guys and gals think? Should I approach my boss and drag all my crap to work? I would still need to install hard wired internet as this place was shut down ages ago without that infrastructure in place. The ventilation would need to be checked out and a little house cleaning. The big selling point is the crazy cheap electricity this place has. There's four cans outside just for this building. I'll obviously split the mining profits with the owner. Anyway, I'm gonna do the math and see if this could work. |

I had a "few" btc taken back in 2014. I figured they got in through TeamViewer I was using to check my miners on my internal network. Probably slapped a keylogger on and sat back and waited, which is how I guessed they got my encryption password.
Your own wallet on your own computer had currencies stolen?!?! Not hard to do if you have total control of the pc. |

Probably slapped a keylogger on and sat back and waited, which is how I guessed they got my encryption password. Sneaky bastards cleaned me out of all alt-coin wallets (using a wallet.dat snatcher) but didn't access my trading sites thank god. Hundreds of coins lost tho. I know that sinking feeling bud and it truly sucks. I now know what all those poor shmucks at gox felt... Cold wallets, multiple trading sites with 2-factor access, zipped and encrypted wallet backups sent to cloud services and emailing yourself, offline laptop for hot wallet transactions (quickly on-and-offline). I aint effing around this time. .. oh yea. Buy gold and silver coins in your county's denominations. Just in case the whole blockchain thing doesn't really takeoff with the next generation lol. NEVER put all your eggs in the same basket!!  |

If it was $20 instead, I would probably pay it anyway, but there's really no point.
Yes, that's why they don't really target individuals. But if they've found a couple of sloppy companies, jackpot! There have to be more than 3 addresses. And it's Saturday, many companies cannot access their money until the banks open Monday. Only then we'll see how big the damage is... Do you really think that those big companies that are affected by the virus will be paying bitcoins to decrypt their infected files? I think they just get specialist to remove the ransomware, but I am not sure if that is even possible with this big infection from last week. If the files are truly encrypted, removing the ransomware will not get the files back. Unless there is a clean backup you either lose the data or pay the ransom, and there is no guarantee that the key to decrypt will be supplied. Not necessarily. If your files are on magnetic HD and not on an SSD, you could try to recover encrypted files by using a decent file recovery program. As long as the encryption process doesn't do too many passes on the file location on the platter you "might" be able to recover the original version. Haven't tried it but its worth a shot. What other options do you have? I've recovered files deleted 8 years ago off a customers pc a few years ago. BTW, I was using forensic-level recovery programs tho. |

75% of coins mined in 5 days?
explain please!
I think he means 75% of the original 100 billion Doge. I.e. 75billion. Still 25% (25 billion Doge) to go. |

if the videocard is freeballin' outside a case, it probably does cause all sorts of short-range radio noise
Yeah, that would be my thought. Running without a case probably voids the FCC compliance. There may or may not actually be a law, but the "F" in FCC means that won't stop them. There is no law on what sort of case you need to use. You don't legally need a case. The cards are tested alone for interference. I have miners in 1/2 case, no case and even a lexan full case! Am I not allowed to use lexan?  I've seen Dell cases that could probably withstand a friggin EMP pulse and I've seen cases made out of wood. All "legal". |

For starters, why the hell did you admit anything to strangers knocking on your door? Unless they have: A) A gun with a corresponding badge with arresting authority B) A Search Warrant Tell them to piss off.Now that the cat is out of the bag, turn your rigs back on. If they come back tell them they are still off since the last time they visited. If they question you, tell them to kindly leave your property. If they insist on staying or want to gain access, call the police immediately. By the time the FCC convinces a Federal Judge to obtain a search warrant (a long time), the scrypt diff will be so high you probably switched to ASICS by then, lol. You do have rights you know. |

OMG at the reporters around his house! Leave the guy alone! (I can only hope he gets the ultimate nerd revenge by surpassing Bill Gates in valuation.)  |

This is the craziest pump I've ever seen. Eclipses even the massive BTC pump in November. From peanuts to $100 in a few short days. Crazy.

What the hell?
Mined all day at liberty-miners.com. They "paid out" .01ish of AUR to me but nothing showed up on the blockchain or my wallet.
WTF?
Anyone else here have this problem?
My AUR address is: AWKoPLFWmkrre2H6iyhftb6Prh5kbk4pkG
EDIT: Took several hours, but I see an incoming transaction now. Weird it takes so long...

Use DNA/RNA identifiers with an embedded RFID chip under your skin coded with your wallet ID. Easy peasy. ..you'll need the cooperation of all the world's population to do this. Maybe guarantee food distribution with coins. Ya |

Noticed BTC gambling ads in the middle of my CoinedUp charts. I guess free comes with a price! I'll take annoying ads over 2% TX fee any day! |
