Thanks, that's something I didn't consider. I'm not familiar with renting or the other protocols so I'm afraid it wouldn't be for me until I have time to learn more about it, but it is a valid option.

Sign up at betarigs, pick a rig, pay BTC, type in your pool info

It's no more difficult than setting up an Antminer S1/3/5   Cool

Not a bad bonus on top of your mining earnings  Wink
While I agree, it's unfortunate that only a handful of people can even compete for those bonuses, as only a few have rigs big enough to be contenders...

If only you could rent miners...

If only . . . betarigs has dozens that would get you at the top of the scrypt hashrate right now for far, far less than what you'd earn with the bonus alone.  Not to mention your actual pool earnings as well:
0.06 BTC would be enough to rent a 110mh scrypt rig for 2 days, enough to bump you to the top and practically guarantee you win the pot

MMXIV is making strides folks, better hop on the mining pool before it's too late!

And don't forget:

THIS WEEK's MINING REWARD

Sometime this week between now and end of day Friday CST, I will award 5 MMXIV each to the highest hashrate on each algo of the pool:

5 MMXIV for the highest SHA-256 hashrate
5 MMXIV for the highest Scrypt hashrate
5 MMXIV for the highest X11 hashrate

TOTAL:  15 MMXIV

This reward is worth about 0.06 BTC 0.09 BTC for each algo - think about what you could rent for less than this Smiley

Could be tomorrow, could be Friday - KEEP MINING Smiley
http://pool.mmxivcoin.com


iGotSpots has generally offered to match the reward, so that's 10 MMXIV TO EACH ALGO ON THE POOL roughly 0.18 BTC just for having the highest hashrate on that algo

My opinion is that, if they get it through the system and get it listed it will be an enormous flop.

Care to explain why?

Tooooooo risky. Did you read the prospectus? If I was risking client money, I think I would risk their money on Somali oil reserves before this ETF.

Meh, no riskier than plenty of other options out there, that are already doing $millions in trades every day.  Institutions will buy what their clients want.  If they want a high risk/reward investment option, COIN is likely to be on that list.

Fact is stranger than fiction, but I think this one is too risky (and small) for institutional investors. I'm going to have to see it to believe it. I'm not sure that it will even be approved.

True - volume will definitely tell whether or not the big boys are even going to screw with it.  If we start seeing $millions moved in and out each day, it will at least catch their attention, risky or not.

Well, here it is and it looks like Bitcoin all by itself.

"The Shares will consist of Bitcoin deposits"  This ain't no S&P 500 index ETF. They're fucked. lol

Uhm, I think that is the point - an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that is tied solely to the price of Bitcoin.  What were you expecting?
129  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Winklevoss ETF update, what does this mean? on: January 06, 2015, 06:38:30 PM
Read this and tell me if you believe Bitcoin will be a sound ETF investment for knowledgable players.

5. Finally, very new or very small ETFs sometimes trade inefficiently, resulting in wide spreads between their buy and sell prices or failure to track their benchmarks accurately. Wait for an ETF to gather at least $100 million in assets before you invest in it.

#2 and #5 are about the only ones that really matter - crypto's are always a risky investment (at least right now).  The risk/reward ratio is a factor, but trading volume is going to be what drives whether the big money gets involved.  If COIN is only moving $100k per day in volume, none of the big boys are going to bother screwing with it.

Agreed, 2 and 5 are the killers.

Granted, I don't know too much about investments pushed by pinstriped bandits. However, my impression of the average ETF is that it contains a basket of multiple securities, no? If so, why would a single-security ETF (e.g. COIN) be affected by #5 at all? The effort required to track a single security (e.g. Bitcoin) should be trivial, and therefore very efficient, should it not?

I believe this has more to do with internal management of the fund than anything.  Basically, how efficient & fast they are at fulfilling orders and reacting to price fluctuations in whatever they are benchmarking.  When you are day trading (or bot-trading) and seconds matter, this comes into play.

Ways to identify a bad ETF investment

The following four tips can help investors determine whether an ETF is likely to fail:

1. Use caution when selecting ETF products that track narrow market segments; these products are considered risky and therefore require more evaluation.

2. Examine the ETF's trading volume. Volume is a good indicator of liquidity and investors' interest. If the volume is high, the product is typically more liquid.

3. Look at the assets under management, to determine how much money is being managed and to measure the fund's success.

4. Review the ETF's prospectus, to understand what type you are holding. An ETF is like any other investment company and will deliver a prospectus upon request. The prospectus will provide information such as fees and expenses, investment objectives, investment strategies, risks, performance, pricing and other information.

5. Finally, very new or very small ETFs sometimes trade inefficiently, resulting in wide spreads between their buy and sell prices or failure to track their benchmarks accurately. Wait for an ETF to gather at least $100 million in assets before you invest in it.

#2 and #5 are about the only ones that really matter - crypto's are always a risky investment (at least right now).  The risk/reward ratio is a factor, but trading volume is going to be what drives whether the big money gets involved.  If COIN is only moving $100k per day in volume, none of the big boys are going to bother screwing with it.

You might clarify how it is to be decided... highest average hash rate over the entire week or highest that you happen to notice or highest at a random point in time this week.

It will be a random time, I'll check the pool and pay out to the highest hashrate on each algo at whatever time I check.

Keep in mind that total daily trading volume across all crypto-exchanges for all crypto-currencies, on a good day, is only around $50 million, maybe less.

That sounds like a lot, but this is so small it's barely measurable in comparison to the NASDAQ - which easily sees $50 BILLION per day.  This ETF makes Bitcoin easily available to where the BIG MONEY is.  For large institutional investors, dropping $1million or more on medium or high-risk investments is nothing - you do not see this kindof money being thrown around very often on the crypto-exchanges right now.

I, too, am sorry for your loss.

I will add, that just because the wallet scans "clean" with VirusTotal, AVG or whatever other antivirus you use, does *NOT* mean it's safe.

As iGotSpots said, devs can put anything they want into the client.  It could be just a few lines of code that steal every wallet on your PC, and it would never be detected by antivirus software.  Always encrypt your wallets, don't run them with RPC open if you don't have to, and always start out new wallets on a separate machine from your "main" PC where all your digital wealth is stored.

If they bought them for use in WoW I'm doubtful it was Bitcoin - especially that long ago.  I'm guessing it was some other sort of "game money"
136  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Winklevoss ETF update, what does this mean? on: January 05, 2015, 05:56:01 PM
The Winklevie own a fuck-ton of Bitcoins.  More than could be easily converted to $USD using methods available today without totally crashing the market.

This could be a way for them to simply get the best price available for the BTC they own.  Rather than selling to existing investors available through today's crypto-currency exchanges, they are opening up Bitcoin to a whole new category of investors who wouldn't touch it otherwise.

I'm sure some are probably doing it small-scale anyway, but most investment firms are limited to trading on the public market due to regulatory compliance.  It is doubtful they are legally allowed to take their clients' money and buy BTC with it.  Schwab, Merryl Lynch and others are not going to put millions (or thousands, for that matter) into unregulated, uninsured, mostly overseas and privately owned crypto exchanges just to get in on the BTC action.

But . . . with a public listing on the NASDAQ, they sure will.  And so will all the little guys wondering WTF to do with their IRA money this year.  And so will day traders, with the software and user interfaces they are already accustomed to using.

I firmly believe this will either be the best or worst thing that has ever happened to Bitcoin.  It will either go ballistic, or fail miserably and everyone will lose confidence in crypto's completely.

Strange.Check again . I sometimes check (from the windows interface) and not once my wallet was not in second place. Yes MoYCe7... I sent 7 rigs from yesterday morning 9am. 5.5 Th/s but one die and max. i can see is 5.1 on your pool. Forget about it. I go sleep 8 am here. Thanks anyway

I sent you 2.5 MMXIV as consolation prize.  At the time I checked, your address was number two.  Yours is the highest hashrate right now but it goes up and down alot.  Keep mining Smiley

And by the way, no one is trying to cheat anyone here.  I even left out my own address (which was the highest on scrypt by a LARGE margin) and gave that award to the #2 guy.
138  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Maieuticoin | HARDWARE | 2014% PoS | BRAND NEW WALLET READY | on: January 05, 2015, 05:42:57 AM
My first words: check few times before sending i rent more and more until reach 5.1 Th/s. And ыщьуешьуы checks the first place. I can send screenshots from mining rentals or from http://pool.mmxivcoin.com:8082/tbs. Anybody can sent too? Sorry if offended anyone. Peace

P.S. I could send each machine separately to pool and receive 6 coins. But You can see. Iam not cheating.

Which address is yours on the pool?
139  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Maieuticoin | HARDWARE | 2014% PoS | BRAND NEW WALLET READY | on: January 05, 2015, 04:27:14 AM
THE WINNERS ARE:


SHA256:   MYeNzjanYBytvuvigSJ7LSbxfy51UfiVGD  with 4.46 TH/s
SCRYPT:   MoY8QQSwievUozFZzrFwwcCAXk1kzhGZ3N  with 18.67 MH/s
X11:   MgrgaSWsWCzpmfm3Rh7yKqhisUueL6x6VV  with 75.95 MH/s

Note that the actual highest scrypt miner was ~350MH, but that is my rig and I am excluding myself from the contest.

Winners will each receive 5 MMXIV - should be arriving shortly

No telling when I might do this again - so KEEP MINING Smiley

Sometime on Sunday, as an added bonus

I will give away 5 MMXIV to the LARGEST HASHRATE on each of the algorithms:

5 MMXIV to the largest SHA hashrate
5 MMXIV to the largest Scrypt hashrate
5 MMXIV to the largest X11 hashrate
