How does escrow protect against the kind of scams that craigslist allows for. Also, how am I supposed to know if something is a scam on craigslist??
I got another email today about my rig.

Craigslist...I am ready to make instant purchase. My mode of payment

the item but due to my work frame i can not be able to get there , am

me, thanks for understanding, looking forward to hear back from you

How should I know if this is a scam or not??
Scam again. Here's a safe rule of thumb: Only accept cash or cryptocurrencies for your products on Craigslist. Those are the two ways you can be certain you won't get scammed face to face, unless they're using fake money. I haven't come across fake money though in my local purchasings and sellings so far though, but don't accept checks or PayPal or whatever - those can be used to easily scam you. This guy here might write a check, but then he'll cancel it... I had a friend screwed out of almost $2k selling a brand new computer he built because he accepted a "certified check" - turns out it was just a fake check. |

15GB RAM required ^^" Lolwhut  With that amount of RAM needed it sounds like it's designed to be low and mid-end PC resistant too.  |

So I posted on Craigslist last night and got a reply already this morning, initially from a text that requested I contact him at his email address, which I did, and then in my email. Here is the text of the email. Something seems fishy to me about this. Is there a way you can get scammed even if a payment clears to your paypal account?? Thoughts on this, please?? "Thanks I'm just asking about it to make sure its in good condition as im buying it for my brother's son as a birthday surprise gift and he doesn't know about it, so can you assure me i will not be disappointed? also no shipment involved as i have a mover that will come for it. Im okay with the price and condition , I can only pay you via one of the fastest and secure way to pay online (PayPal).. Do you have a PayPal account? Let me know asap so i can arrange the payment through PayPal. my shipper will be coming to pick it up as soon as the payment clears into your account . Henry Benson, US Vet Corp Resources The Lowcountry Warrior Connection www.lowcountrywarriorconnection.org" Pretty confident that's a scam. I've heard of similar scams before, where someone says they are deployed in X country and are buying X item for X person, eventually in the end you get screwed though. I'd stick to selling locally face to face, and accepting cash and bitcoin only. |

If I was to setup a mining machine with quad 750 Ti's powered by a sempron 145, would 4gb of ram be enough to run ccminer efficiently, or would 8gb be needed? I tried to run 4x 750 Ti's with my sempron 145 and 2gb of ram a few months ago and that didn't end well. If anyone is currently running their miners with a low powered CPU such as a Sempron 145 I'd appreciate if you chimed in.  |

That looks awesome! Yay for decentralized mining! Hope everything works out for you!

it takes months to achieve 0.01 BTC
hope you got free electricity Nope, just block erupters.  They don't do much anymore, but paired with a Raspberry Pi don't take more than ~12W for 2.2GH/s. |

Oops sorry, one more question. Do the EVGA model 750 Ti's use 6 pin power connectors or are they taking power solely from the motherboard?

What brand are the 750 Ti's, and are you willing to ship to Canada?
Off the top of my head EVGA, ASUS and Gigabyte. Sure, I'll ship to Canada. If the postage isnt that bad I'll cover it (as in if its less than $15US per box). Hmmm difficult decisions, the 750 Ti's are a super deal but I already have a rig set up with them. Decisions, decisions. I'll get back to you in a day or so at the latest if I'm still interested. |

Sorry if it's been asked before, but are there any plans to change the minimum withdrawl amount to something like 0.001 BTC? As a small miner it takes months to achieve 0.01 BTC with a small hashrate.

Sorry for bumping an older thread, but thanks for the tutorial! I have it up and running with a DigitalOcean droplet. |

I've just started to mine this coin on an AMD system as well as a DigitalOcean droplet. This coins looks to really have potential. |

Is there a problem at HashHarder? I haven't received a payout in over 14 hours.  I have noticed the same problem. Hashharder.com is not paying out for 12 to 14 hrs Same problem here... Me as well, I have 9 payments that are currently "in batch". Hopefully they send them through soon enough. |

Killer hangover is cured, so I added Killer Groestl in the quad version. This cudaminer revision is source code only and called V1.1 the following algos should now mine faster -quark -anime -x11 -jackpot -groestl -myr-gr -nist5 Tomorrow I will try to get the X13 algo from the forked version back into my code and call it V1.2, including a binary release. Would you be so kind to test this V1.1 release out and report the speed-ups you're getting? I've only tried Windows compilation - will the Linux version still build fine? What other patches would you guys like to have included in V1.2 or V1.3? WOW Chris i got 500kh more wow where is your litecoin address i owe you some. ill give you 1.001 so you know it was me. thats the best i can do right now. Christian This is the Litecoin address posted on the first post: LKS1WDKGED647msBQfLBHV3Ls8sveGncnm You can confirm that along with the address that first shows up when you start up CUDAMiner to be sure it's his address too. |

Really interesting statistics. The bitcoin network is still taking tons of energy everyday, along with altcoins too.

I just received my payout from Hash-Harder as well. It's the equivalent of about 10 days of mining, just from the Jackpot block. Not going to leave this coin though, I've been mining it for ~ a week now and I'm enjoying all of it! |

Meh that's nothing. Botnets back in 2011 and 2012 were making more than what 650GH/s can do today Still, 650GH/s is an insane amount for a single computer. Wonder how much power it uses though... 3.9 Megawatts. 3,900,000/650=6,000 6 KILOWATTS PER GIGAHASH Jeebus that's ridiculous! Sounds like it needs some optimizing. :p |

The Genesis Block has a good mining calculator that takes difficulty changes into account with their calculations. Here is a link to it: https://tradeblock.com/mining/ |

I can vouch for Blazedout as well, by far the best seller I've ever dealt with on bitcointalk.
Good luck with selling!
