I cant understand cex.io investors

[player01]

I make money on it, but it DOES NOT work if you buy and sleep and forget. Not unless the difficulty resets to the downside drastically.

If you can't fathom trading in a bear market, then try it with $1 and see what you can do by following what I do.

Buy in on a dip (dips are assured) then wait a couple hours to a couple days, reinvesting what you make into GH, then set a sell point at the exact buy-point that you initially chose. Then that gets taken up and you choose a lower buy-back.

rinse and repeat.

you are effectively shorting the market. Do it a few times and you will be a believer.

I thought cex.io was a brilliant site until...

On 5-Jan-2014 11:AM someone (IP 5.63.144.220) hacked my yahoo email and then hacked my cex.io account. The hacker sold the GHS I had and withdrew the funds. I had deposited 10 btc into my cex account. My cex account is now frozen by cex and they are investigating – whatever that means.

How is Cex.IO supposed to protect you against a poor password on your yahoo email account?

Did you have 2-FA enabled on your account? It's a valid question...

And other than my grandmother and an old lady at my old work, I didn't know yahoo mail was still a "thing". I thought them having malware and the service not working well this past December would be enough to sway some users...

Either way, sorry for your loss. Good luck retrieving it with the Cex crew!

9.17 bitcoins were hacked from my account at cex.io. I am seeking an experienced investigator to help me retrieve the lost coins.

Just for the fun of it I set up 4 block erupters on Dec 14, all are operating at the same speed, one on each of the following pools. One of those pools is CEX/GHash. Here is where they are at today:

As of 2013231045 (Eastern US)

BTC Guild: 0.00154781
Eligius: 0.00140232
EclipseMC: 0.00141193
Ghash.IO: 0.0015161 (0.02307720 GHS * 0.0657)

The difference between the pools is small, likely due to luck variance only. I purposefully haven't played the market with cex.io and am attempting to make this as vanilla as possible. Reinvesting proceeds with the buy now function only.

Was the merged mining been taken into account?
