I guess they want you to pay for the name.




LMAO

In the same way that it could take longer to get out of a black hole than out of a pit you just dug in your backyard...yes.

If everyone will suddenly become a reasonably adept trader, the people who are "good" at trading now will make a lot less money. Zero sum game and all that.

I've used them once, in July, and a day after I withdrew the money it showed up in my (European) bank account. So my experience was "lightning quick" perhaps it has slowed down a bit since then, can't say.

I've had my share of DOGE Cryptsy issues, but at least BTC withdrawals were almost instant before. Now anything I withdraw takes half a day or more to actually be sent to my wallet, wtf?

Good to hear!

I think the difference between Gox and Stamp is about 5% right now, but who wants to deal with Gox (and who knows how long it'll take even with the 5%) so I think getting your BTC and running away is the best solution

Yeah, but you're SOL at this point to try anything else.

I wonder if the gigantic queues at Gox are a result not just of massively increased interest (which also occurred earlier this year) but also that they've reduced their staffing. That would be something an insolvent company would do to try and stay afloat. That Gox has liquidity issues is all but certain at this point. Too bad they probably employ mostly Japanese so you probably won't get any interesting ex-employee stories.

I wildly estimate the odds of Gox going down in 2014 at 50%. You can't survive indefinitely if you can't pay out but a fraction of the BTC on your exchange. Their latest black friday 0% fee days and now 25% off for Christmas smell like desperation (as sites where you CAN get your money out are doing no such thing and are still taking marketshare out of Gox)

I guess people don't read forums until after they have withdrawal problems with Gox. Seriously, this has been going on since before summer and now it's Christmas. When I had Gox withdrawal issues in July-August they were still answering support emails pretty quickly (just that the answers were pointless) and when I asked to cancel the withdrawal they complied within minutes.

That's your best bet at this point, ask for a cancellation short and firm in 1 sentence if you can. If no reply comes just keep on sending the request until someone gets tired of you. Then take a loss by buying BTC and moving it to another exchange. Seriously, it's easier to get fiat out of any other exchange than Gox. At this point in time you're actually lucky that exchanges like Stamp are pretty close to Gox price all things considered. When I moved in July I wasn't so lucky (not to mention I managed to sell 30 BTC at the lowest point of the dip in July)

My auto payouts are going through, but it's been a while since anything has gotten to Cryptsy.

More worryingly, 2 auto-payouts that went through overnight are showing only 1 and 2 confirmations on Cryptsy. I hope the problem is on cryptsy's end. Since I'm sending it straight there I dunno where the issue is.

It's not a classic P&D because the coin only just started, plus most of the miners (myself included) are dumping them as soon as they show up on Cryptsy. It's a few days of unusually profitable mining, like FTC was back in the day. It's just that people don't want to be "left out" so they are scrambling to buy a few million just in case.

DOGE's biggest problem I feel is that its current success is almost entirely down to a joke which is bound to get old pretty soon. Much wow! Come back in a week or 2 and it'll be last week's news (literally)

That said, I think this coin can have some value in the longer term, but the price collapse phase is unavoidable. It hasn't collapsed yet, it's still sky high.

Seems like the ASUS card is idling. I have a 7970 DCII from Asus and I remember it's finicky with regards to the slot it's in and the other cards it is with. Run the ASUS card in the first PCIe slot and the MSI in another.

Also, for settings

--gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1725 --intensity 13 -g 2 --gpu-powertune 20 --thread-concurrency 8192

If your memory can do the clocks, that should give you 700 kh/s. If not, you'll crash. My asus card does about 1750 on the memory, no experience with MSI cards.

You can ask them to cancel the pending withdrawal. Then convert to BTC and get the heck out of there. Actually since BTC prices have tanked you can probably buy back more BTC than you were cashing out, silver lining so to speak...

Use msi afterburner. But undervolting is a bit tricky because the memory OC goes to crap if you reduce the voltage on the 290.

I think one shouldn't underestimate the amount of BTC being bought in China for no other reason than to get money out of the country in a simple and secure fashion. Those people were never in it for the long run, BTC was a tool for them and when it no longer works then that's the end of that.

Try 928/1600 or 957/1650 and drop the core voltage below default. I had a Gigabyte card at some point, memory didn't OC very well. Make sure memory voltage is 1.60V in Afterburner or Trixx, my card defaulted to 1.50V and memory overclocked poorly in general, limiting performance to around 660 Khash. My reference cards are all well above 700 khash with 1015/1750 settings. 0.58 core/mem ratio works best. Intensity 13.

Interested in this, I never managed to get my HIS 6950 to work together with 7900 cards, at least not with cgminer. It just won't run, I tried selecting a specific device in the config file but cgminer won't run either card when I start to mix'n match.

I have a 290 being delivered today and I'd like to run it with one of my 7970s in my main rig, let's see.

I have trouble believing anyone would blissfully leave 75 BTC on a site like that, never mind 750.

It's like leaving a duffel bag with a million bucks lying on the back seat of your car while you park it in a dark alley. People just don't do that, so 99% of the stories are BS and the other 1% is extraordinarily stupid.

In terms of a smooth money withdrawal experience, Bitstamp was the best I came across. Took 1 day and was painless.

I'm actually fully verified on Gox, there was a period where they were doing verifications at high speed and little fuss (a pdf cell phone bill was all it took for me) but it doesn't matter, last time I tried to withdraw money I ended up cancelling after a month and taking a loss rebuying and checking out elsewhere. Nobody in that place can (or is allowed to) tell you when a withdrawal would go through. After several weeks they will still say they don't know where you are in the queue, except that it's quite long because of a limited amount they can push through their bank yada yada yada. It's all BS. They've been playing that song since summer, and the only reasonable explanation is that they simply do not have the funds to cover all the withdrawals. A few will trickle through just to keep up appearances but the vast majority is backlogged for many weeks at best. Gox just isn't a very attractive place to send money to right now. You can send it to other exchanges, most of them have considerably lower BTC prices than Gox and very low deposit fees. It's a vicious circle, Gox BTC rates are high because you can only really get BTC out of the place reliably, and this makes it more interesting to deposit elsewhere and transfer BTC into Gox if you wish to trade there compounding the lack of fiat coming in. Either way Gox has a liquidity issue, I have a feeling if we saw the actual numbers we'd shit bricks.

Up to you, they have separate markets for BTC/USD, BTC/EUR and BTC/RUR.

Not very up to date on things, are you...
Last week my 9 7970s mined as many BTC (indirectly) as someone running a 250 GH/s ASIC.

What's even better, the difficulty of altcoins is not going up nearly as much as BTC, while the conversion rates are pretty stable. So GPUs have been creeping back up to asics, though the power issues are obviously real (imho offset by the dual use and therefore safety of GPUs)
