Economics would suggest around $1200 to keep a par with the block halving in July. It's nice to see it getting up, especially as miners because we get the the same amount of BTC no matter the conversion .

Glad to have pointed my first 13.5 S9 at the pool    I am looking forward to the next one, in a week, but still need a PSU.

Open a claim with FedEx because it was likely damaged in shipping.  


Well, if China doesn't work out ... that really sucks though.  Where at in CO?I hope you lucked out and got it at the 1445 price when BTC took a jump.  I am thinking BITMAIN may be getting used to wanting to keep customers. This is my first order.  

The problem is there is so little competition and you're not getting the same hash.

Did you shake it lightly to see if a heat sink fell off?

From what I understand, I would stop hashing immediately and open a ticket.  

I got my 13.5 TH/s, Feb 28, today.  I'm getting 13.6 ...

I agree.  I hate FedEx.  #ihateFedEx

They owe me over $1800 ...

You're right.  It left HK yesterday and arrived in Alaska today.  FedEx sent me updated delivery for tomorrow by 10:30am.  I should have my first S9, 13.5TH/s, tomorrow!!!

It looks like there are 0 workers ...

China manipulates its currency and has since the Clinton years.  They keep it artificially low by printing money and building empty buildings (or even cities) and other ways others can explain much better than myself. This can have a ripple effect on the price because of the rate of adoption in China and where people see the greater store.  If the CYN begins to rise, then large holders will probably convert BTC to CYN.

Having said that ... their Central Bank has been having secret talks and two or three of their larger exchanges have stopped withdrawls. Their government plays a large role in their economy and China play a large role on the global stage.  Bitcoin's nature makes it highly fungable through institutional borders. Their quick adoption of BTC leads the West to get confused at the way their government operates.

In either of these two cases, I believe, China's governmental policies and processes can cause a scare.     

Canaan left.  I think they may be a Chinese firm who are starting their own pool.

Panama uses USD and has anonymous bank accounts.  

Any country using USD as a store of exchange would throw the coin at the USA on the map? Bien interesante. 


I agree.  It would be nice to see sell or a "heat map" of trades, similiar to this for bicycle transportation.

I came across this cool site and thought I would share it with you:http://fiatleak.com/

It shows money going into BTC live into each county and currency. This is pertinent with the current geopolitical climate with China, India, trade policy discussions and such. 

Do you know cool analysis sites?

Enjoy!

No kidding!  I lost .98 BTC.


I mine at Kano CKPool.

Good question.  

Right now, I am waiting for a couple more confirmations so I can pay to watch Magic Money: The Bitcoin Revolution with BTC.

Processing time is something of great discussion and perceptions will need to improve.  I believe this should happen through design.  For example, going from command prompt to window/mouse.

Technically, Starbucks payment processing does not begin until they "batch" the system at close.  Then, when the bank opens, the money is added to their account the next day.  

The FedEx tracking shows, "Scheduled Delivery Mon 2/20/2017 by 10:30 am" in Montana, USA.

In 2003, I had an international shipment [guitar] that failed. Back then, they gave me my money back (which was close to $1000).

In March 2016, I sent another package internationally and it failed, but was sent back to me.  They blamed customs and said I filled out the paperwork wrong.  I created an account, resent the package (at $300).  It failed.  I flew to the destination country to hunt down the package.  The people at FedEx would not talk to me, but instead sent me to a city called San Martín.  I found out there that it would cost $400 because of storage fees.  I paid FedEx.

In December 2016, I sent an extremely important and urgent package internationally.  I paid $900.  It failed.  They blamed me, but I know it's because they made me put details of all 30 items instead of the normal clumping. #ihateFedEx  

I am nervous about anything shipped FedEx, except paperwork.  

I got the same today.  This is my first order.  How long until they arrive and is there anything to worry about with customs, e.g., need to be a registered importer? It's shipping FedEx and I have a 100% failure with #iHateFedEx on international shipments.



EDIT: On anything other than documents.

No doubt.  That's why I am buying these things.  They seem to be getter bigger scale and, then, do we know how to make S9 style in the US?  China is ahead of the West in BTC. The only group I know about is BitFury and I'm not sure they're US and it looks like they specialize in 15PH/s mobile centers.

I think that's maybe a little high for Montana.  Here, it would be $50 +$75 per hour.

Tengo un S3. Pago $30 mensual para $8-9 BTC mensual con 0.11c USD kw/h para la energía. Solo lo he estadado usandolo para apredenter como usar mining pools.  Ya estoy esperando a recibir dos S9s porque son las solos que ganan suficiente.

Se depende en que quieres hacer. Para ganar dinero: http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculator

Are they really that bad?  I mean it sucks USA doesn't design/build too, but I just ordered my first two S9s.  I assume most have a good experience or they would not stay in business.  Plus, I have an S3 that claims to have 1100 days of activity clocked.
