Bitconnect are guaranteeing the investment amount. Bitcoin can collapse at any time. The governments can ban exchanges and stop people cashing out. If Bitconnect manage their massive profits properly, they would be able to guarantee the investment capital which is the value they bring. Plus if you invest your wages into their system, you are guaranteeing some extra passive income depending on the percentages they maange to pay. Wouldn't you rather they pay amounts they are able to afford than to collapse and disappear?

Your comment clearly shows that you do not understand how the Bitconnect system works, and how dependent it is on Bitcoin.

Bitconnect does not guarantee anything. You need to read the Risk Disclosure in their Terms of Use: https://bitconnect.co/terms-of-use/

By the way, if Bitcoin collapses, then Bitconnect will be finished. You aren't thinking this through carefully enough. Your emotional attachment to Bitconnect is keeping you from seeing what's really going on.  

It's funny you mention that Risk Disclosure because it was copied almost word for word from DavorCoin. I'm not sure which had the terms first but the earliest I can detect it on Bitconnect was 19th November (archive.org) and it wasn't there in September (the previous version it had archived). So I wonder why they decided to add that.

Plus if you invest your wages into their system, you are guaranteeing some extra passive income depending on the percentages they maange to pay.

I mentioned wages as something distinct from bitcoins and how someone could possibly lend a portion of the wages on bitconnect and not touch any BTC they are holding (just buying BCC is possible with other cryptos too like ETH and more without even buying BTC). As others already mentioned, bitconnect do not deal in bitcoins except as traders on their own exchange or others (they may be able to profit on their own one from having some inside info) but other than that they did not need to have an internal exchange or even a BTC wallet after the ICO was over. They could simply let people withdraw and deposit BCC from other exchanges or wallets (like PolyNetwork does - but that is another story).

The reason people seem to think bitconnect are reliant on bitcoin, is that the price of the coin tends to follow its movement. If bitconnect are holding most assets and profits in bitcoin then they may be in trouble if BTC crashes massively but I'm sure their strategy is more clever than that and they will be holding fiat too as collateral for loans. There is no denying that so far they have profited a huge amount from their interest rates solely due to the rise of their coin (not counting other possible income streams) and that is the only thing they are really dependent on. If the coin price goes up at any sort of rate they don't even need to go into their BCC reserves and will have profited. If they are holding mainly bitcoins from their profit then that profit already went up a further 50% in the last few days. They could conceivably give half their bitcoins away and sell the rest into fiat and still be hugely in profit and in no trouble as long as their system is profitable (their coin continues to stay in demand).



I guess you missed my post about a month ago where I showed their U$50M+ worth of bitcoins holding prior to the massive uptick.

I worked on the web-based version of DMT around 1999-2001.  Great group of people down there.  I was friends with Orlin before LFC and DMT, visionary guy.  There's a lot of negative commentary on this thread about LFC and DMT.  I didn't see that.  Knowing Orlin, and what I saw in CR, they were a committed group with strong convictions working to do good.  No one was trying to rip anyone off.  The whole concept was ahead of its time.  Definitely a precursor to BTC, perhaps a direct connection through some of the team members, not sure.  I was not part of the core team, more of a mercenary to bang out code and get parts of the system built.

I'd really like to reconnect with any of the CR team from the old Nicaraguan embassy. Especially haxaw - if you get this, please ping me.

Let's play a little counting game, mmmkay?

Approximately how many S9 bitcoins do you see in the following pic?


If you guessed approximately 500, then you win a cookie.

Notice how much room them 500 miners take up on those pallet racks? How many containers would it take to hold all them miners including the racks? Now add 300 miners and you'll arrive at the number of S9 miners HydroMiner just received to their Vienna office a couple weeks ago. Again, where are those ~800 S9 bitcoin miners deployed?

Thousands of transactions are need to be processed every day and with the current situation of bitcoin demand I won't be surprise if theres thousand uncofirm transaction. Developers will need to go about this issue but as for now we really have to be patience or pay transaction fees that really sucks otherwise you cannot transact anything

https://blockchain.info/blocks


I thought the block size was increased to at least 2kB.

Furthermore, who is "Unknown" relaying all them recent blocks? Did the NSA fire up their new Quantum Puter in Utah?

I know of a guy (seriously, not speaking in third person) who transferred U$1,000 three days ago and paid the express fee of U$92.14. The transaction has yet to be confirmed. Again, I'm not the sender or sendee, just a dude privy to this particular transaction.

If earth really is flat. Then there should be only 1 island in total to cover from all the water in the oceans from not falling over the edge and fall into space? When explain this?  Roll Eyes

The Sun is a small object that orbits above us and the Moon is the same. The land (earth) was created as a flat plane** and the Sun and its thermal radiation warm a circular area. Beyond the reach of the Suns orbit is Antarctica and a giant wall of ice, a ring that holds the oceans at bay. If you travel far enough across the ice, many thousands of miles in the dark and extreme cold you come to an electrified dome wall. The electric field is (+) DC and trillions of Volts, biology and machines will be shut down by it if you get too close.    


I have to make some educated guesses here:

** Silicon-organic material was tossed into a giant wood chipper and the mulch packed together and sliced in half with a laser. Special giant trees high in nickel and iron were then grown on the plane and harvested for dome construction material leaving behind mountain ranges from the milling. The ocean floors were then excavated with giant excavators and an electrified golden reflective dome of nickel-iron Damascus steel was constructed. The Sun and the and Moon were then built inside the dome. Also beyond the dome is water.

Wait, is the above part of some ICO that I missed? If so, I'm so in. Sounds legit.  Tongue Tongue Tongue

Ethconnect team is so fake why will you keep your investors fund with you for a whole month you keep telling them they can withdraw of which is the direct opposite. This is the second time they will say people can withdraw but not. They never respond to mail.

Please revisit the very beginning of this thread where it was proven beyond doubt that Ethconnect is a scam.

As our staking pool is quite large, over 100 BTC worth of various Altcoins. We can purchase large blocks of various altcoins which in turn reward us with more altcoins. Each week the new altcoins we receive become your earnings which are then payed out to you based on the percentage of Stakeminers you own. If you own 5% of Stakeminers, then you will receive 5% of the weeks earnings.

What is 100 BTC worth today? ONLY over U$1,650,000 is all.

What did Leroy Fodor pay out this past week to FOUR astute Investards in total, you ask? Only ~U$60 worth of BTC according to https://blockchain.info/tx/fd2d08aecb03ee0a28387de2e10c9c0a215096f16723855d7bb7c89ad3df4e16

No.

Confirmations have NEVER been "almost instant".  On average, transactions with a high enough transaction fee take 10 minutes.  Confirmations that don't have a high enough transaction fee to get into the next block need to wait until a later block.  This is how bitcoin has ALWAYS worked.

Bitcoin is known for irreversible transactions.
Bitcoin is known for permission-less access.
Bitcoin is known for trustless peer-to-peer transactions.
Bitcoin is known for being decentralized.
Bitcoin is known for being secure.
Bitcoin is known for "almost instant" UNCONFIRMED transactions.
Bitcoin is NOW known for the recent demand in replacement F5 buttons.

Well they did not run yet....so the chances to get on a exchange are quite high. Even though the new "post-ico" sell was kinda making me nervous Cheesy

Slowly but steadily I believe they are trying but just can't handle it.

Kowtowers of BitBase said the same thing prior to it going dark. ECH holders are so fucked.

It seems only a few people are in the discussion here and not talking about the project updates. Please what are new updates as far as exchange and project is concerned. I invested but now don't hear anything from team.

I would like to advice you to join the Telegram: https://t.me/Hydrominer and follow HydroMiner on twitter: https://twitter.com/hydro_miner as most news and updates are shared there as well.

For the direct link to the news feed please refer to: https://www.hydrominer.org/news/

Telegram is dead and the last updates on their Twitter account and blog was November 29th. To be fair, their Facebook page was updated on November 30th: https://www.facebook.com/hydrominer/

Questions: How many bitcoins do you think HydroMiner mined to date with their newly obtained U$1M worth of S9 miners paid for by ICO participants? Where are they deployed? Is half the building of Hydro 1 still being used for storage by a pack rat, given that they're on recorded in stating that they rented the ENTIRE power plant with option to buy?
779  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][BCC] Bitconnect Coin - Decentralized Cryptocurrency on: December 08, 2017, 03:00:20 PM
Also, We're receiving a passive income in Bitconnect by just investing on their program. i can say that Bitconnect would hit the value of  $1000+ easily!

You can earn passive income by investing in Bitcoin. You don't need Bitconnect (the middleman). Go directly to Bitcoin and earn more!

The average rate of increase on Bitcoin is about 4% to 5% a day. Why settle for the dwindling interest rates of Bitconnect?

Think!

Bitconnect are guaranteeing the investment amount. Bitcoin can collapse at any time. The governments can ban exchanges and stop people cashing out. If Bitconnect manage their massive profits properly, they would be able to guarantee the investment capital which is the value they bring. Plus if you invest your wages into their system, you are guaranteeing some extra passive income depending on the percentages they maange to pay. Wouldn't you rather they pay amounts they are able to afford than to collapse and disappear?


"I just love our relationship, Beauty. Each week I give you my wages and in return you provide me some passive pussy sex depending if you feel up to it, hoping our relations doesn't collapse and you disappear like all the other beauties I had before you."

PS: Has anybody taken the time to calculate if 700 kW is morer smallerer, morer biggerer or the samer as 700 kW, the output of Hydro 2 and Hydro 3, respectively.

I am happy to answer the question of 700kw and 700 kW since I actually know both powerstations. Now in Murau the maximum capacity is 700 kw, however, because this station is pretty high up in the mountains it has large fluctuations and in some month the capacity can go down to as little as 70 kw. Close to Waidhofen on the Ybbs it's very different, the power station has  maximum capacity of 1700 kw and Hydrominer has actually rented the 700 KW of power that is available on 350 of 365 days. On the other 15 days the powerstation has also a minimum of 500 kW. It's not so easy to compare the performance of Hydropowerstations as there are many other factors on top and I think HM keeps it simple in its communication, maybe in this case to simple.

Thanks, bud, for your civil and logical response. Your explanation for Murau more or less mirrors what was once stated on HM's white paper.

Please do your best if time allows in addressing some other concerns I've penned, with apologies for not being an investor myself, but tryin' my damndest to looking out for others in this space, including the crypto space proper.
