Happy New Years! Seventh alt coin thread!

[Storx]

I just dug out my old Gunbot license and started to play with it again -- it was too complicated for me when I bought it from Gunther a year ago. I will have more time now to study it a bit closer. Do you have any simpler bots to try out?

I forgot to reply to this,

If you plan on using the Gunbot, i highly recommend using the linux version of the latest build, The windows build was very unstable for me no matter which machine i ran it off of..

In regards to using Gunbot to trade, i only use it to trade 2 pairs... I found it very difficult to control when trying to trade a lot of pairs, due to how much of a delay the bot gets the more and more data it has to compute as you add additional pairs, i found 1-2 pairs resulted in the best results in the bot reacting quick enough to trading, otherwise you have to loosen the settings a lot for the delay in the bot to trade, which places you at a higher risk in loosing money...

I have it trading BTC/USD on GDAX as a beta tester currently for the upcoming release
I have it trading NEO/USDT on a 2nd Binance account, as i want to accumulate NEO, so i have it setup as NEO as the primary, so it holds NEO all the time and collects GAS still. It is setup to trade the dips in a very conservative manner, since NEO has very little volatility compared to other alt coins out there, so this setup only trades a handful of times a month, otherwise it sits watching the market for a position to trade collection GAS. I periodically check this account and remove profits to my Nano S wallet so its safe to store and collect GAS.

in regards to using it, i highly recommend you setup like 10+ levels of doubleup, the market has been sooooo volatile its not unheard of to see a 10% drop in a coin in a single day, even BTC moves this much currently... So me personally i have my setup to doubleup every 1% for both coins i use on this bot...

Example:
Starting Balance 2.05btc, i wouldnt trade with anything less than 2.05btc if your going with the 10 step doubleup method like me, because the min trade amount is 0.002, so if you buy into a position via gunbot and your settings possibly place you in a spot just before a big whale dumps a huge load of BTC, then your stuck holding your position for days to months tell BTC recovers to a level you can make a profit. I go by 1% personally on all my bots that use doubleup, because it gets into a position and out of a position very quickly, usually within a single day im in and out of the trade. I found trading lots of small positions added up over time to more than holding a large position and wishing for a day to come for a profit.

If you start with 2.05btc and use 10 levels of doubleup, that gives you a trade amount of 0.002002 on your initial purchase, taking you to 2.002btc when doubled up 10 times. I personally trade high profits on my BTCUSD pair and im still able to get out of trades within a day in most cases...

Example:
Bot buys in 0.002002btc worth

BTC drops 5%, so the bot doubled up 5 times putting you at 0.064063btc position,
lets say your profit margin target is 5%....
BTC raises back up 6% from the dip, your bot sells at 5%+trading fee
you end up walking away with 0.003203 in profit in a single trade


Example of a trade i had...

March 13th, bot purchased in a oversell position @9,000 price....within 24hrs the price dropped to $7450, a 17.3% drop in value.... My bot doubled up 10 times from the massive selloff, putting me at 4btc position, but March 19th it was able sell for 10% profit of 0.4btc...

Yes the bot makes hundreds of trades for 1-5 dollars profit only, but occasionally it catches one of these whale dumps and recovers and you make a nice penny back. I believe in bitcoin enough to wager that much money in a trade and if i would have never had 10 levels of doubleup, then i would have never been in that position to make 10% off of 4btc, as btc starts to recover and value of it starts climbing back up to 10k, personally i am going to add additional levels to my bot past 10, but its very difficult to do because it requires you to have more btc as it increases pretty quickly or you have to drop your initial trade position and still stay above the min trade limit.

@ storx I am good  really good with cc's

but you are better.

I am 820 rating.

I earn a few thousand a year in

cc rebates
ebay ebucks
mr rebates
ebates
bing searching.

My first 22 years of cc use I never paid interest no 1 penny 1 time.

I have now paid about 1000 in fees and interest after 35 years of cc use.

I estimate 2 x 32 = 64k in pay backs.

Oh coupons at supermarket I was very extreme.

A minimum of 20 or 30k . 1986 to 2018

all told close to 100k  in 32 years.

Ya to most people, they think credit cards are bad and they use them in the wrong way, the purchase stuff on them that they dont currently have the money to payoff within a month, so it sits there and collects interest every month.

Me personally i live my life thinking, if im doing something and i cant already use a credit card to reduce the cost of it, then i need to find one and add it to my arsenal.

I would say using credit cards smartly reduces my overall expenses by 28-30% every year in most cases. lately with all the large expenses, ive been declined from signing up for multiple high rewards cards in a single year, but usually when i cancel them a month or 2 later they are welcome to offer me the same deal back or possibly a better one. Because i use so many credit cards, i get like 200 letters a month in my mailbox trying to talk me into signing up for such and such credit card, its gotten a little out of hand really on the amount of credit card offers i get these days...its almost as if these companies are begging me to take their money from them lol....

Lets just do the math, based off the latest statistics from the government, in 2017, the average family in USA spent $63,784 on bills for the year...

If they were smart enough to use credit cards wisely, they could have reduced that by 20-30% from rewards and credits....

20% thats $12,756.80
or
30% thats $19,135.20

Just using credit cards wisely, thats like getting a promotion for an extra $19,000+ a year... instead they just throw it away and overwhelm themselves with stuff they purchased for nearly full price.

I do have to admit, i miss the days of using ebay bucks, it seems they kinda gone to the wayside with mining popularity...

Coupons, i rarely use them anymore, i just find them to time consuming to deal with these days and just deal with the cash back on my credit card. I have a pretty set life on things i eat, so if i so happen to see one for something i regularly eat i use it, but i stopped doing extreme couponing, because i found myself spending more in the long run on a bunch of stuff i would possibly never use that just sits on a shelf in my house and collects dust.

A while back i made the point of over a few months i made meals with everything i had saved up in my cabinets and pantry i bought from my days of extreme coupon shopping, i was amazed i was able to eat from all these things i had sitting around for nearly 3 months before i finally ran out of food. Many of them i ended up throwing away because the best by dates were a few years old... just wasted money on food i thought i would eat and never did...

Stumbled into Proton Coin, yet another X16R POW until Q3 when it will go POS with Masternodes, 85% block rewards...  compared to RVN, PGN .. this coin is traded higher in exchanges. Worth to jump into this coin?

I would pass,its a shitcoin that wanted to cash on raven hype if i recall well they were neoscrypt first and when devs saw how popular was x16r they decided to switch.A lot of those coins are just clones created by the same crew who change algo,sell masternodes on discord auction and then abbandon it latter(or just run away with btc from auctions)

Supposedly some big announcement today, and price is definitely getting pumped. I just sold about 20% of my XVG holdings on Bittrex as a result.

I remember buying 20-30k a day in visa gift cards then cashing them all in all using 5% rewards cards. so much money back then. People thought I was laundering money lol. Love CC rewards and using them to the max. love love love. The good old days are gone but there's still a lot of good that comes from them!

Anyone on the xvg bandwagon?
I'm dual mining it and bought some cheap a few weeks ago

Beeen mining and selling it daily with a Baikal X10. This has been my most profitable rig since i received it about 10 days ago. I got an L3 + set up at my host's fascility 3 days ago. It has been on XVG scrypt since then.

Crypto Bridge, where I sell my RVN, also has XVG listed.

XVG will likely jump in price as a result of today's anoucement:

I think XVG will be the new LTC, mining XVG for short and long term will be very promising.
Like it or not, XVG's future is basically now sealed in the biggest use case in the Internet.
Adult entertainment is a huge industry and practically married to the Internet.
The adult currency of the Internet is Verge.... well at least the first one.

The problem is no one actually has to pay for porn so i wouldnt invest too much into this.

I think this is probably accurate... I'm sure there are allot of people that would like to pay for XYZ without having it show up on their credit card, paypal, bank, etc... statements each month.

Imagine.... how much $$$ VISA and Mastercard will lose in this adult 100B industry.

@P00P135 .... same here, I don't do those porn sites - I am however "addicted" to Phil's thread -- its like porn addiction - LOL!
BUT..... this industry is a 100B/year market and often the best run and secured websites on the Internet.... are porn sites putting Amazon.com to shame

Hi citronick! Any news on proton coin mining profitability? Would love to try it myself but i'm away from my miners right now and don't want to risk crashing them and not be able to physically reset them thereby losing days of potential mining revenue.

i'm still buying 1080 ti's ... am i crazy? hehehe 

That is pretty crazy. How do you figure?

[crazydane]

Porn, eh?

I got some for you'all.  POCO came out today and swapped out my 25 KVA transformer for a 50 KVA one as I'm was starting to push the limit on what I had.

So here's the new 50 KVA fat boy:



Bucket truck getting ready to kill the 14.4 KVolt line with his stick:



And the 25 KVA is down:



Up goes the 50 KVA:



All done:



Meanwhile, I got a 10,000 CFM exhaust fan installed in the shop building up high in the gable:



View from "outside" (the pole barn portion):



And here's the matching intake fan:



There will be 10 24x24 washable filters installed to filter the incoming air.  Now that the fan is installed, I can complete the "lattice" that will hold them.  Everything will be sealed to ensure all incoming air is filtered:



The 2 fans both have 3 phase motors and will be controlled by this VFD so that I can run them at no more than what is needed to keep all the GPU's at 70 C or less.



That all the porn I got for you guys tonight.

That is pretty crazy. How do you figure?

people around here are not happy with 1080 ti profits anymore...

local supplier has stocks....I'm saying, why not? let's put their pascal asses to work and take a jump!
