Buying ASIC.

ASICs were good. Back when Avalon shipped the first 60Ghash units... Even then BFL was stalling Cheesy

Sto se mene tice, ja sam zavrsio pricu Smiley

Ne zelim se prepirat, ali onda u biti i bitcoin je shitcoin po tvome.

Nemoze Bitcoin bit shitcoin kad je prvi... Sve ostalo su kopije koje mozda na neko vrijeme zazive i onda polako odumiru. Bitcoin ne.

A bullish news for the real bitcoin economy, Blackphone shipping in July:
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/blackphone-release-date,news-19002.html

The blackphone is neat too bad its sold out might consider getting it
Encrypted communication always has a value plus a VPN
That said putting Blockchain on it would be a bonus hehe

I'd rather they make PrivatOS open source. They could still keep selling the Blackphone, but release the OS source so we can see what it's all about. I don't trust closed-source security/privacy stuff. Who knows what's in there.

are posts in off topic section ok?

Yes, as long as they answer the asked question and are not "+1, I agree, LOL, Cheesy" and such.

By the way, I've PM-d Stunna a few hours ago and he didn't reply yet. I see he's online. Just wondering did my enroll request go through.
Did I have to get some kind of confirmation? Because it just led me to the "Collect Payment" page.

Rapid growth of GHash.IO mining pool, seen over the past few months, has been driven by our determination to offer innovative solutions within the Bitcoin ecosystem combined with significant investment in resource. Our investment, participation and highly motivated staff confirm it is our intention to help protect and grow the broad acceptance of Bitcoin and categorically in no way harm or damage it. We never have and never will participate in any 51% attack or double spend against Bitcoin. Still, we are against temporary solutions, which could repel a 51% threat.

In any market, competition and innovation drives growth and that is particularly true in an emerging and disruptive environment such as Bitcoin. Successful and innovative companies cannot be expected to limit their growth or competitiveness as a direct result of their success. However, this is the situation we find ourselves in when faced with the community perception of the threat of a 51% attack on Bitcoin. Asking our users to not use our services or to use competing solutions is not conducive to fostering innovation. Implementing a pool fee to our pool contradicts principles of our operation from the very launch of GHash.IO. It also does not address the core issue only pushing the problem a few weeks or months down the road when another pool or perhaps GHash.IO again grows towards 51%.

We do fully recognise the concerns and possible threat posed by an entity with malicious intent taking control of enough mining power to exploit the 51% scenario, but we also have confidence and agree with the views expressed by the Bitcoin Foundation that any such exploitation or attack ”would be obvious it was happening, and pretty easy to defend against. The transparent nature of the blockchain provides unprecedented insight for all to investigate and report such behaviours.

We also recognise however that a long term preventative solution to the threat of a 51% attack does have to be found, the current situation we find ourselves in (essentially being punished for our success) is damaging not only to us, but to the growth and acceptance of Bitcoin long term, which is something we are all striving for.

Sorry, but to set up such a scalable and dare I say relatively high-margin operation, you had to have seen this coming, right?

Also, can anyone verify - I thought I'd heard some time ago that due to the "spot" nature of network hashing share, the 51% attack actually discretely manifests itself as the production of 6 or more blocks in a row by one entity (51% power is just what you would need, on average, to accomplish such a feat).  If this is correct...I mean, GHash.io has produced 6  consecutive blocks in the chain on a number of occasions.  I've personally observed a chain of 8 (tracking via Blockchain homepage) on at least one occasion - and let me tell you, nobody said jack until their averaged share of the network power (measured by floating average share of blocks produced over the past 24/48/96 hours) began to near the false-warning 51% mark.

Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but even without 51% of the active hashing power on the network you can still carry out the exact bruteforce attack described by what most people refer to as "the dreaded 51% attack" - all you need is enough luck to mine 6 consecutive blocks.  Satoshi himself referred to the single-entity (pool) 6-block-mark as the point of 'computational irreversibility'...

They won't have the luck to do it. Not with 30% of the hashrate (by the way, they could go even lower).
It doesn't matter that they had 6 consecutive blocks, GHash.IO/CEX.IO isn't a threat. It was just a pointer that such an attack is possible.
If you think a 51% attack will happen, it won't be CEX.IO. That 51% of the network hashrate would just appear out of nowhere when someone powers on the units. With Ghash closing in to 51% in a timespan of 2-3 months, we had the necessary time to prepare for a hard fork...

Oh, and the 6 blocks is when the tx is confirmed for good, that's what you mean by "computational irreversibility". Yes, an attack as such (the 51%) could be done with a lot lower hashrate, that's true. The 51% just means that you have a 100% chance of the attack succeeding, and that's what we were afraid of.
1273  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can someone teach me? on: June 17, 2014, 07:35:14 AM
I know that I am new on here but please do look past that. I am willing to teach/train anyone who is looking to learn how to trade. But first off here are somethings you should consider before wanting to learn.

1) The Market (Forex and other volatile markets) will do what IT wants to do when THE MARKET FEELS LIKE IT! Keep this in mind when dealing with BTC!
2) You cannot have any emotional attachment to money! If you are scared to loose what you invested or are trading BTC with scared money, meaning money needed to pay for rent, gas, food etc then DO NOT TRADE!
3) Trading is hard! It takes time, and more time.
4) DEMO trading is okay when learning technical indicators, testing strategies etc but when you trade real money its a whole different ball game. You will tend to over think a trade and hesitate on entering or exiting your position.
5) BTC is still consider NEW in terms of trading, hell even Forex is still consider new to some HF managers and traders. I know what moves the Forex market, what moves the EUR/USD, USD/JPY, AUD, CHF etc. How banks bait buyers into going long and how banks bait sellers into going short. But what moves BTC is still being defined in relations to technical indicators. 
6) GET THE "BUY LOW, SELL HIGH" out of your mind...it is stock talk from the 80s and is complete GARBAGE way of thinking, people can troll me all they want but to trade with that mentality you might as well eat your BTC wallet. Example: You look at a 15M or 1H chart and you see price is a the lower part of the chart for that particular day, you think hummm price is low on the chart that is displayed on my computer screen, I will BUY LOW! When in reality you zoom out to the Daily Chart, which if you are scalping off the 1H chart you only trade in the direction of the Daily chart,  only after you confirmed it with the Weekly and Monthly to see if you are sitting on any turning points. Behold you just BOUGHT BTC in a major downtrend on the daily, right when price was stuck on the 50 FIB level, as well as just testing a major trend line spanning back to the Weekly Chart, you now are counter trend trading and that is one of the "NO-NO's" of trading.

Still with me?

7) NO ONE CAN PREDICT THE MARKET, only thing we can do is identify when it *might be getting close to turning, i.e. breakouts, EW, Flags, etc.
8] Trading BOT's are a joke! A complete and epic way to FAIL your BTC wallet into 0.0000. They do not work! THEY DO NOT WORK, a bot cannot define when a market is trending, or moving sideways, it cannot see support and resistance, trend lines, etc
Example - BOTs work like this, ]EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is > than +1 Dumb Bot will place a buy order if  ]EMA (Exponential Moving Average) is < than -0 Dumb Bot will place a Sell order............regardless that price is sitting on a major support/resistance line, major fib area, on top of a major moving average, while MACD has crossed and turned up or down, as well as RSI being oversold/overbought! You get the point! BOTS can't see things we as humans see! Unless you want to hire a team of quants and pay half a million to develop your own black box, then bots are useless! Plus BOTs cannot manage trades properly, which is the most important aspect of trading!
9) Speaking of the most important aspect. Entering a trade is easy, managing the trade and exiting is the most difficult! That is where most traders get into trouble! 
10) THERE IS NO SILVER BULLET, meaning there is no holy grail trading strategies out there, you have to use process of elimination when trading and take the best trade possible, if it is a loosing trade, close it and move on. Do not harp on the fact you lost some money because the market sure as hell won't! Not one system will work all the time, that is why I apply multiple technical analysis to my trading. Remember YOU WILL LOOSE MONEY! But the goal is to keep the losing trades small (Drawdown) and the winning trades high!


I am willing to teach anyone how to at least take "smart trades" on what ever exchange you might use. This will be learning technical indicators, how to read a chart etc! The basics! I WILL NOT BE CALLING ANY TRADES! I AM NOT PROMISING YOU WILL MAKE MILLIONS TRADING BTC, AS TRADING IS NOT FOR EVERYONE! Some people literally cannot mentally handle trading!

Who am I?

I have been a currency trader since the market crashed in 08 and my family lost most of their retirement to a so called "Family Friend" who supposedly maintained their retirement account....they lost 75K......my goal was to earn their money back via trading currency since it was cheaper to start that stock trading, i.e. data fees, trading platform, day trading account min etc.

I use technical analysis as my main tool of trading. I incorporate a little fundamentally as well as statically probability. I am well versed in Elliot Wave, Harmonics, Murray Math, Fibonacci, S/R, Trend lines and just about every other indicator that is available. I am a prior chief trader for two private trading software developers, as well as wrote one of their main .Lua trading  algorithms. I have traded privately for select individuals and have since retired from doing that. I have developed multiple online trading rooms, and taught people via trading bootcamps, and through email, which is what I intend to use here.

FOR ALL THE TROLLS on here who have a opinion of trading I am not here to flex nuts with you and could care less about your trading opinion, as I said there is no correct way to trade the markets. If I want to use the left molar of pterodactyl tooth while singing baby hit me one more time, and you feel the need to drink 2 quarts of unicorn blood while you trade and both trades come out in the positive then who cares! I also am not here to prove any past performance with P/L sheets, companies and individuals traded for or trading software developed as I am not charging for any of this! I am just simply willing to teach anyone via email how to at least get a heads up when looking at a BTC Chart.

One more thing, if you are not willing to read a freaking book, and I mean more then 50 pages + then please do not waste my time! No I am not mean, or a smart ass, the markets are mean, brokers are smart asses, you cannot be an emotional trader, leave luck for the casinos, and that as real as I can be.

 



What a great way to start my day. Thanks for that post, it really is something.

They should go below 30% and then the crisis is averted. As long as they don't point the miners to "unknown".

Good thing I remembered my post count after enrollment. I thought it went through easily.
I first requested payment, and it seemed okay. Then I tried to enroll again for the next month/week and when I filled out the form, it took me to the "Collect Payment" page. No errors or confirmations. Now I am not sure if it actually went through.
