India's resolving it's difficulties with bitcoin and Unocoin is scheduled to reopen tomorrow.

This is good news for all cryptocoins.  Once the mixing service is ready for prime-time, I predict some really substantial growth in SBC

I got it.

No doubt about it, 'cause from the posts here the site is gonna get hammered as soon as it's up.  Lot's of folks want to join.

Hashcows is on the . . . wait for it . . . MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE.

Pool down.  Portent of something good, or just a problem?  Only time will tell . . .



. . . Pool up.  No portent.

Bottom of the page . . . "Contact us" . . . so contact them.

The value of alts may roughly track btc values, but they're not actually related.  As confidence in the btc rises, speculators then begin to look at the alts to see if they offer something of value over the short term.  When btc falls, confidence ebbs and the sell-off follows.

I see nothing surprising or confusing about it.  All crypto-coins are commodities.  They trade like commodities and they act like commodities.  Whatever alt coin seems to offer value or a profit opportunity, it is into that money will flow.

Bitcoin is up about 17% in two days, most of the alt-currencies have not been able to keep up with it, so their relative values decrease. Some have exceeded btc performance, and they have increased in relative value.

Bit coin is going up for a number of reasons.  It has gotten a fair amount of press coverage lately, Overstock made their announcement as did Zynga, Hong Kong is looking very seriously at btc ATMs and they are also beginning to show up in American cities.  The fact that bitcoin didn't completely collapse after the bad news from China and India demonstrates intrinsic strength in the coin and that inspires confidence in investors thus they are more comfortable buying.

It's just typical market dynamics.

Good!  Keeps the multipools away.

Yep.  Ever present, attentive, enthusiastic . . . very communicative, cheering us on, keeping us informed . . . yeah, very impressive.

It's one of the reasons why I'm mining at Hashcows now instead of mining SBCs.

Yep.  Now 6.77 difficulty.  Gonna be a while.

You are not alone in noticing this, nor in your reluctance.

Buzz away, little fly.  You pick the absolute peak value the coin hit in it's "Pump and Dump" life and whine about it losing value from that artificial and way too high peak--try reality for a while.  All coins follow the same pattern after release, the test is in surviving after the initial pump and dump.  If the coin offers genuine value--something unique that people desire--it will survive.  If the coin is dying, it is because it cannot attract enough people to support it, not because of one pool's mining.  

The problem with Lottocoin is that it offers nothing of value other than more of itself.  There's nothing of greater intrinsic value than any other of the dozens of junk coins that appear each day.  So, it has become a pump and dump coin.

Very cool.  

Don't care for the gray background . . . need to so darker to you have greater contrast.  Like Bitcoinwisdom's graphics.  Black works . . . at least for these old eyes.

I had the same problem.  Use the email address on the cashout page and tell them your problem.  I did so last night and within an hour, I had my confirmation email.


@nearmiss  Thanks for the update.  It is primarily because of the way you've handled this crisis that I have moved to hashcow mining full-time.  Keep up the good work.

Nope.  I checked the spam folder each time.

Just got the confirmation email from tonight.  I must have screwed something up last time.  All is well.

I am beginning to worry about my account.  I have tried two cash outs Tuesday night and tonight.  I have not ever received an email concerning them, so I am worried that my email account was changed in the hack attack and that my payout requests are being sent to the hacker's email and he will get the payout.

I think I'll have to stop mining hashcows until I can get in and check things out.

One British scientist did actually find a boost in mileage just as you described.  Problem is, it wasn't a closed loop system.  The hydrogen came from an external supply.  The actual gain was around 6%--not insubstantial--but (and this is what all the looney-tunes advocates ignore) the hydrogen was not generated by hydrolysis, it came from a tank.  Why is this important? . . . see again the laws of thermodynamics.

You can't beat the laws of thermodynamics.  Simply cannot be done.  Generation of hydrogen by electrolysis consumes more energy than it produces-PERIOD!

A car makes more electricity then it needs. That is wasted energy. If you could recycle that surplus into fuel the argument that it would be ineficient loses its value. After all it would be free energy.. Or am i missing something.

Not to start a flame war or something, but just wondering if that would make a difference at all.
[/quote]That's just the problem, nothing is 100% efficient.  All systems lose energy through heat generation.  IF you could recapture that energy, and IF you could get 100% efficiency from all components . . . then you would be at the break-even point--but you can't, so your aren't.

Here is a simplified version of the three laws of thermodynamics:

1. You can't get something for nothing.
2. The best you can do is break even.
3. You can't break even.

NOW!  Let's get back to . . .


When is HashCows going to be back up so I can see my account and all the fabulous riches I have accumulated so far?

HAHAHAHAHA!!!  Science, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics--those I know--quite well, in fact . . . devices which magically alter the physical and chemical laws of the known universe . . . those, I don't know.

What is quite clear is that you DON'T.  It is also quite clear that either you are just one of those unfortunate gullible fools that comes along once and a while who so completely buys into a con-man's con that you actually shill for him, or you are a self-seeking liar who hopes to gain from deceiving others . . . either way, you're a loser.

You can't beat the laws of thermodynamics.  Simply cannot be done.  Generation of hydrogen by electrolysis consumes more energy than it produces-PERIOD.

I also know human nature and that no matter how much real world science I throw at you, you will not change in your belief in a magical system, so have fun in your delusion, the rest of us will remain here in "Real-ville" suffering through with our non-enhanced internal combustion engines and our poor--but real--mileage.

Either way, this website is not intended for shilling products.

Magic FOO-FOO dust for your automobile.  Guaranteed to make you imagine your car is running better all the while doing absolutely nothing beneficial except enriching the scam artist who's marketing it.

Total crap and anyone who buys this garbage deserves the screwing he'll get.

People, learn a little science and quit believing in magic.

Like all such . . . umm . . . questionable suggestions, this one shows very little real understanding of human nature.

Go ahead, do precisely that distribute them equally among all the people of the world . . . everything is rosy and all will have money . . . within 6 months, the bulk of those bitcoins will again be in the hands of the minority once more.  Out of the hands of the ignorant and non-productive and back into the hands of industrious investors and businessmen.

Nobody set out to cause wealth to be distributed unevenly, it is a simple manifestation of human nature that some will prosper while others don't.  Can't change it, can't social engineer it, it simply is.  There will always be poor and there will always be wealthy.  It's the natural order of things.
