Out of all the coins, bitcoin is the only one that will be recognized out of the coins.

So I`d suggest you start focusing on other alt coins to trade back into bitcoin.

Mine seems to be more mainstream, when I remember some cnn report on bitcoin on rising then crashing also a friend mentioned it once to buy with weed.

You can always try localbitcoins.com

Multipool is a good option, but I would also consider "Hash Cows" and "Middle Coin".

I have none negative experience with the other two.

Definitely a niche product, unless it came with some crazy raffle prize for buying that chocolate. I dont see the difference, besides some imprint cause most coco used are the same. A good majority, unless you can seriously taste a big difference.

If you want mining gear to directly mine btc, the best option would be finding a antminer. If you are in the states and dont want to wait for the international shipping you can get a hold of a re-seller.

Every person who doesnt go through this route, will have their chances of the pre-order drama: butterflylabs (well known), cointerra.

As for the escrow situation, I wouldnt trust anyone on the forum despite the reputation.

Keep in mind its still a stranger, and if you need to use a escrow use a established companies that already offer the same thing.

Most people just dont do enough home work, before going in then regretting the escrow holder had some incident with the bitcoin.

The only legit way I can see someone earning 0.002 btc outside from providing services, would be referring someone to join on that freebitco.in site.

Besides buying bitcoin/mining.

Anyone else mentioning to go to multiple faucet sites, probably didnt care to give a proper quality answer.

If there was a way to login all of the faucet sites in 1 location then that would be a different story.

I say go for it. But, just prepare yourself before you get into anything.

I woud list of to-do things on what made the videos viral approach, or see if you can network with semi on the rise youtubers in your genre.

Example: Timothy del ghetto (comedy) - what did he do to expose himself.

Theres some elements you can control, when youtube 1st came out which was a lot easier for some to get partnership. I`d assume thats the direction you want to do to get ad revenue right?

Just do the homework 1st, because most wont. And dont buy youtube video views..etc.

How much did this cost you? Most people who been using the r9`s have been selling their rigs. Or trying to rent it out as much so they can break even on the graphics card.

Also it depends on what alt coin your trying to mine?

It takes about probably a week, to get the entire info on whats going on to make bitcoin because after consuming all that info.

You`ll come to the realization of mining is dead based on doing it directly unless you have some serious cash.

The best thing is to just focus on earning dollars, and buy it when its cheap.

Perfect example of overpaying and not getting your performance is CoinTerra with the 2 THs = actually mines 1.2THS which is a huge difference than most people think.

Heres a guy that goes into detail, plus even tweaking it says about performance.

I wouldnt get into that, majority are scams.

I mean think about it for a second, whats the collateral? for lending, its just acting like a actual bank, when the user cant pay up, then what?

And thats even finding "trust worthy users".

I mean if you can find a good price, then you`ll be okay. But, instead of risking that play smart and focus on alt coins.

But most people on this forum over price a lot of things, so dont expect much.

Listen to this guy, very smart thing to do.

Invest small and probably now upgrading that gpu to some other stuff to build a better alt rig.

Also chose a good ALT coin, since the algorithm of that coin is different then all the other ones.

If your talking about setting up something without showing the referral ID, then you need your own website.

Theres a wordpress widget that hides the link. Making it look more natural.

You need a price set, escrow, and location.

Also, this is in the wrong section. This shouldnt be on the service discussion lol.

I would of waited for blockchain to catch up to post this, but if blockchains transaction is showing, then its in the process of going through.

You just have to wait.. as some transactions outside from this site takes 5mins - 1 hr.

Also blockchain has been up and down for maintenance, but you shouldnt worry.

If a long time Mt.Gox is bad, what makes any other exchange actually functions the right way?

You have no control on these exchanges, they can freeze funds / balances, claim to do selective scamming for ACH deposits, the list goes on.

They also can do naked shorts, and put in selling orders which they dont have balance of.

You take a chance at any exchange, its the same thing as gambling.

I`m not sure why most people think a wallet is like an exchange.

If thats the case, they need to do some serious homework. 1st of all we are the only ones to have the private keys, not Mt.Gox which had all our keys which is the fundamental huge difference.

As long you back up your wallet, your fine.

Yup, the definition of tweaking their words says a lot on how they operate / operated.

Mt.Gox should just give it up already. I can only imagine the guys level of stress is all time high, but thinking to transfer those coins into segments to other wallets so he can claim them back.

Similar to a banker.

Put the App on the store, see if it even gets approved.

But, why would someone use that app though? Since most use blockchain, and its not hard to just make a open tab on the phone, then login to the online wallet website.

I rather be safe then sorry and something thats already proven.
