I think this was being looked at all wrong. Pretty sure this is supposed to be a direct injection into their network hashrate. I followed a few useless links to the same story until I found Bitmains Blog where they disclose their hashrate. I had no idea this existed, but assume with their regulations it must be fairly accurate.

So to me this 600 000 chips means they are trying to add ~183PH to their arsenal, currently ~367PH. I think that's around 3660 S17pro @ 50TH. With 144 chips/miner they could manufacture 4166 complete s17's if the order size is to be believed. Some could be set aside for defects and offspec units, not sure what the failure rate is.

It was also pointed out above that the order is split. Some of the chips are 16nm, meaning S9 variation perfect for their excellent power rates.

Notice how each of these articles is tied to the valuation they are hoping for. Pretty sure this is them bolstering 2 positions. First they want to look strong and heavily invested in themselves the network and the future. They are looking at an IPO after all, and they have an image to repair. Next I think they are trying to grab as many coins as possible for themselves again before the halving. They can get ahead of the Diff jumps if they take an entire order of chips just for themselves. Not hard considering they've sold out for months to come.

To answer the question fast and easy what moneypot was.

Moneypot itself was your Pocket where you depo and withdraw your coins.
After your coins were sitting there you can go to a „app“ that was connected to moneypot and play.
You can say you want 0.1 from your 1btc you depo to play with it there but you don’t have to wait for depo it was instand there. After you play a bit on the „App“ and reach 0.2 you can easily send it back to moneypot and have now finally 1.1 btc sitting there.

I will give another example. Lets say there is a bankrollpage you send your coins to play with.
Now you say you want to make a few bets on stake. You go to stake and can say depo coins from my bankrollpage without fee or waitingtime. After you make a few bets but you now want to play on Crypto-Games you send your coins from stake to your bankrollpage without waitingtime and no fee and than send it to crypto-games without fee and any waitingtime. Moneypot was the bankrollpage at this moment.

I hope i give you a small explain what moneypot was

Binance has just opened it's lending platform, currently only for BNB, ETH and USDT.

I wonder when they will add BTC to their offerings.  Somehow Binance seems safer than Poloniex to lend on even though I wouldn't trust CZ with my scooter. Am I delusional?

They ask lvl2 verification which is a deal breaker for me.

I am not giving my passport scan to some random Chinese. Especially right after hearing the news about that hacked KYC scans. No no.

Tried to verify myself with my driver's licence back in the day but they didn't like my photo there. Their loss.

I thought Bitstamp was bought by a well funded Korean firm.  The problems my friend had initially when I started this thread seem to have stemmed from processor switching around that time.  Eventually these were resolved and friend got their wire.  Later when friend's volume exceeded $50k friend got hit with the 'give us impossible data' scam.  And again, it was possible for friend to remove funds in BTC with no problem unlike in your case.

Anyway, maybe I am wrong about the Korean firm.  Worth checking it out, though, since if it is the case it would seem to me to be the natural place to start.  Whether it would be easier or more difficult to make an entities operations difficult in Korea using legal means I do not know.

One thing I have observed is that there seems to be a dedicated and fairly successful effort to get all crypto/fiat exchange operations to be based in the U.S..  The main strategy seems to be to make any external exchanges noncompetitive via various kinds of harassment.  Interfering with their ability to transact in fiat-land primarily.  'Well behaved' exchanges like Coinbase are allowed to operate smoothly.  If I had been consulting on how to deal with the 'crypto problem', this would be one strategy I would recommend (or a phase of the strategy) so it's not surprising to me to see it.

I suspect that ultimately Bitstamp will end up as a property of Western intel (which itself is an appendage of the central banking cartel.)  The Korean money may have been just one stepping stone to make that happen, and they may have already 'flipped' this property.  Who knows?  If so, shutting Bitstamp down would be in the cards.  Might as well collect a ton of actionable intel in the process.

maar blockchain.info is toch de beste van de slechtste, denk ik,

Thanks for your interest and honest questions.
About maintaining and verifying; i can handle them one by one and i don't think that it will be storm anyway. If the project will turn to a storm (i love this though) i can continue with moderators. I have a internal system to stop spamming like URL, same sentences, email address ban. Also the site is for webmasters which means i will only accept domains, not links; which will penetrate lot of spam entries too.

All in all it's a directory service without auto approval. This is the nr1 spam filter 

Thanks! most of my paintings are in Corel Draw vector. Part in Photoshop

That filling in part just sounds so wrong 

Umm yeah, I can attest to this Zica..

I remember having a token on their platform that I received from a project's ICO. Once I cashed it out I learned about the whole thing. Basically they match a 1:1 representation of Bitcoin within their network. This must be a chore for them and rightly so bottlenecks the withdrawal process of BTC from their ecosystem.

And no it is not automated, which makes it all the more painful as you are left to your own wits to sit and wonder if this is the straw that breaks the camel's back, if they THIS is the moment that Waves platform turns out to be a scam project and they run with your money. All baseless fear stuff that you mind conjures up you know.

IN anycae, I'm interested to know if waves would actually allow their own tokens to come into the Ethereum blockchain - if that happens, then they'll surely clog up the ETH channels once again and overload the Ethereum blockchain like Cryptokitties did.

Hi there, I have a very experienced developer who can match all your needs regarding your offer. But he takes alot in BTC(not CHEAP). If you are interested I can connect you with him. Right now he is working in IBM Switzerland as IT Specialist.

Well, I don´t see how this move can be bad for Waves.

And it seems also the Waves team does not have bad feelings about it as it seems


Anyway it looks like Bancor (BNT) is the 1st token to be added, which took quite a while. Seeing ETH to follow and than gradually more tokens to be added.

Lets see how (fast) that goes and how (if) the WVS-price reacts on it.

This. I'm not aware of the exact threshold in the US, but every bank is legally obliged to not only investigate your transactions when they detect suspicious activity, but they also have to share your information with the authorities.

If you haven't been paying your taxes for example, and the bank ends up sharing your information, you're going to have some explaining to do, especially when your transactions are flagged as crypto transactions.

In order to avoid unnecessary problems, always read their terms and search for any mentions of crypto currencies. Better safe than sorry.

If it is not a blockchain project, not a cryptocurrency and not a decentralized coin, then I tell you mate that whatever it is that china is creating is nothing inspired by bitcoin at all, I just see is china creating another digital payment coin, so they would just supported alibaba payment and just introduce this as their digital Yuan.

If it is not crypto, then the usage will mostly be limited to their citizens alone, and that would still not stop their citizens from using cryptocurrency since this coin they are creating cannot give them the benefit that people get from crypt, and they can never be able to take their mind away from crypto. The coin they are creating, will it at any point reward the holders? Will it be able to serve as store of value like bitcoin and some other coins that have enriched people?

How come it is possible to give such a perfect guess. As you've mentioned the very next post is being made by him. Anyhow it is your headache, we don't have youtube related to cryptocurrency and if you're willing to publish ads then it is fair to have it on our channel contents.

I follow your decision, thank you
