i thing prime dice not paying
Please correct the typo, it's think not thing. Stunna have a load of positive trust for both his trades and dice site. He is known to be quite fair and organises giveaways frequently to reward users. Based on his trust, he paid a lot of people, I expect over hundred. By scrolling through the thread, you would see positive feedbacks from members and some even trusted. I don't think anyone would be using this signature if they really do not pay. Please research more before giving negative comments. (Not meaning to be harsh here)

cex.io have said they arent intending of launching an attack.

I don't have any info on this, but I found the following thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=327767.0) that mentioned Ghash.io did try to double-spend against a casino...
That was from a long time ago, they already clarified that it isn't them but a previous employee. However, the fact that they refused to take actions to lower their hashrates except to warn people is suspicious. I don't think by posting on Twitter or here would influence much people to move away from their pool.

I don't really understand why Cex doesn't allow its users to point their hashrate to other pools and thus easily lower the Ghash hashrate.
Ghash doesn't charge a pool fee AFAIK, so they should get no benefits from forcing Cex users to mine on Ghash...
They do charge maintenance fees, they deduct from your mined amount. They would also have to deduct your reject works. They have previously planned about this but they did not implement it at all. Also, I don't think it is possible since they do not assign individual hardwares to each user. They have included the option to redeem hardware but I see no reason in users doing that since they have to pay the electrical cost and to manage it themselves.
8523  Other / Off-topic / Re: Post your Internet speed on: July 27, 2014, 03:05:31 PM
although i have a 80Mb both ways connection at work, sharing it over WiFi 2Ghz does slow it down to around 20-30Mb or even slower at times, although 5Ghz I had better results, it is best just to 'plugin'!
What do you mean by sharing? Sharing with other people?
I managed to transfer my signal over 400m and still have 1/3 of my speed.
He probably did not have enough bandwidth, he most likely meant that other users were connecting to the same network, thus using up more bandwidth. You must have a good antenna and no blocking walls to transfer it that far, I manage to get 1/100 of my speed just 10-20 meters away from my modem.

I think the most secure way to keep your bitcoin safe is to make it so as few people as possible know that you own bitcoins. They will keep you from being subjected from most attacks


What if i get randomly keylogged or infected? They dont need to know it, they will check it.


If your not online the keylogger cant reach you.

What about when you want to send the BTC? You have to connect to internet.
You can sign raw transaction, find more about it here. https://bitcoinarmory.com/about/using-our-wallet/#offlinewallet
Just transfer it to the USB and go to a clean Linux computer. You aren't get infected for just turning on your internet. Your private key would also not be exposed. You can always reset your computer every time when you send the transaction if you are really that scared.

Bye the way I was talking about litecoin, not bitcoin difficulty. I never mined bitcoin.

The LTC difficulty has been rising not as fast as BTC, but I guess it will be a completely different case when the new generation of powerful scrypt ASICs are delivered. Smiley
Litecoin isn't as stable as BTC is, it can crash anytime soon. Also, if they would be mining scrypt coins, they would use a multipool instead of just LTC to maximize profits. BTC however, is a different case, there isn't much stable SHA256 alt coins and their difficulty would rise very fast.
8526  Other / Off-topic / Re: VPNs - do you use it on: July 27, 2014, 02:50:48 PM
TOR is much better option than VPN
VPN is much faster than TOR. TOR gave me migraines w/ its slowness.

VPNs are cheap.



VPN is safer and stable Wink
I don't think VPNs are safer then TOR as TOR is open source and has ways to prevent any of the nodes from attacking you while VPNs only use one node and have a central point of possible attack. You much trust any VPN that you use while you don't need to trust any TOR nodes.

Since information transmission between exit nodes and the web is unencrypted, you can expose yourself to the attacker if you do not use a secure SSL site. Even so, vulnerabilities can exist in SSL, such as the heartbleed.
8527  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: CEX.io GHS Bubble ? on: July 27, 2014, 02:40:55 PM
I find that cex.io is really not profitable at all. By the time you actually make a visible profit, the price will have fluctuated. The price of GHS almost makes its own mining irrelevant because you will either lose or gain a lot more money by trading the GHS in the market.

If you are lucky you sell higher than you bought but it is what I said : luck
For the price to increase, you need higher demands. Since most people already know that they will never make ROI there, the price is likely to decrease since not much people would want to buy there. The difficulty is going to skyrocket soon, making ROI even worst than no profits.
8528  Economy / Services / Re: Up to 0.01 BTC weekly for YOUR SIGNATURE on: July 27, 2014, 11:15:54 AM
I think I would rejoin this campaign if BTC goes back up over 1000$.  It seems like bitmixer.io keeps their 0.01 payout per week very constant no matter what the value of BTC.  That's why I say it.
I don't see much reasons to rise it if they don't require minimum post per period. If you are the kind who can post a lot, join pay per post campaigns, if you are relatively inactive, go for pay per activity ones.
8529  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Which pool will yield the most bitcoins? on: July 27, 2014, 11:11:10 AM
solo mine. 25 per solved block. No fees. As time -> infinity this is your best bet. Welcome.

Do you know on which day the reward become 12.5BTC ?
Kindly,
      MZ

Check out http://bitcoinclock.com/ for the next reward halving estimate.

Reward-Drop ETA: 2016-08-10 10:19:37 UTC (106 weeks, 4 days, 12 hours, 30 minutes)

As for which pool will yield the most...
https://blockchain.info/pools

Look at Known blocks under the chart, it's ghash.io (much to the chagrin of the conspiracy theorists).



Most bitcoiners want bitcoin to be as decentralised as possible. In the long term, the reward will be the same since variance will most likely even out. The only thing that affects the profit is fees and stability in the long term. The best option would be to mine using p2pool however, they don't offer as much features and is relatively unstable.
8530  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How much is a normal amount to mine a day? on: July 27, 2014, 11:03:08 AM
It changes when difficulty changes. For example, you may be earning 0.1 today but you may be earning 0.09 after the next difficulty increase. I would say the normal amount would be the electricity being 5% of your total revenue. There is more chance for ROI after each difficulty increase. It differs for everyone since everyone mines at different pools and we may take longer time to block.

RDMINER has been taken care of. If you see people posting crap or copying posts etc report them to the mods with evidence and also PM Stunna so he can withhold payment if he deems necessary. With this new system even people who are banned can still claim.
I was looking around the forum and found this:
Trust an exchange? Never. I learned early on with BTC that third parties are a no-no if you want to keep your money safe. So, unfortunately, while I trade, my money is not safe. But I know that, and the risk-reward is worth it for me.
Which is an EXACT duplicate of this

Be careful OP, it sounds like you'll lose more in the future unless you figure out where your compromise is.
Can anyone give me a link or tips on how to wipe my android phone, its all ive used so probably a good place to start. I need to find where im compromised, where do i start?
Go to backup&reset and click reset phone and reset everything. I wouldn't recommend you to use a phone as a storage as you may get infected easily and you may also lose it. Try using a offline computer to generate a Bitcoin address.

To bypass the limit, you have to surf the forum for 6 minutes or so. It can be a good idea to solve spam problems. As your activity increases, you would be able to get a lower waiting time until it is hardly noticeable.

For people having more than 200mbps: do you notice the difference?
Do websites serve that fast?
It actually depends if the website can serve it that fast. If not, it wouldn't be very fast. I can see a big difference between my old 100mbps and 300mbps in both upload and download. I'm pretty satisfied with my speed, it is quite stable.
8536  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 51% problem still existant after all coins have been mined ? on: July 27, 2014, 12:24:59 AM
Not only will it not go away, if mining becomes so unattractive that fewer people mine the 51% attack becomes even more probable.  See dogecoin for this type of death spiral.
Not that possible. People will be giving fees, when no bitcoins is mined, no bitcoin will be released to the market. The demands can be higher if there are more popularity among people, thus pushing the price up. People with low electrical fees and good ASICs can still ROI. It is possible for a ASIC to reach triple the efficiency than what it is now.
8537  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: 40.000 Dollar Investment on: July 26, 2014, 03:42:49 PM
Personally I wouldn't invest that much money into mining, I would rather put it into bitcoin itself. Mining profitability WILL go down so you may not end up breaking even. Only a few people break even these days.

iff i buy 2 SP30's i would break even in 64days, but i got to keep the raising difficulty in mind , which changes every 2 weeks right? with about 10%?

so that means it will raise about 5 times with 10%est, so the raising difficulty would by my biggest enemy right??


Not only that, time is actually everyone's enemy. If they preordered, it can take some time before they can ship it. Also, shipping takes time. Electrical cost should also be included. If your hardware is damaged, you can forget about making ROI since it takes time for them to ship it back and them to shop you a new one if they are willing to, if not your investment is lost completely.

I havent receive my payout?
Based on the list Stunna released, you are not on the list. Are you one of those who filled in the wrong profile instead of this? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=148493). Or you didn't even claim it using the form at all?
8539  Other / Meta / Re: Why do I keep getting logged off at random times? on: July 26, 2014, 03:33:12 PM
Seems like you can only acess the forum by one IP at time.

Someone try to acess forum with normal browser and using Tor at same and says if that's happens too?
If you have the cookie saved in both of your browsers, it won't happen. I have used my account on my mobile network( with the saved cookie) and none of them gets logged out.
8540  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 51% problem still existant after all coins have been mined ? on: July 26, 2014, 03:28:57 PM
That's an interesting idea. A person with 1 million BTC (you know who you are) could perhaps run a script that submits a transaction with a 0.1 BTC fee every 10 minutes. It could subsidize miners for 190 years.

And if BTC value shoots up, even 0.01 BTC might be sufficient to enthuse miners. It could subsidize miners like for ever. Smiley
It should happen since no coins are added into the market any more. If there are BTC in addresses and the owner have forgotten the private key, it would most likely shoot up since the market volume is lower and the demand would be higher as bitcoin would have gain much much more recognition. But honestly, would any of us here be able to live that long till no bitcoins will be mined?
