In circulation, not the money people have left in wallets ignored and forgotten about. I'd agree that on average the amount of money circulating probably all has been used for something criminal, be it directly stolen though exploits, used in scams, or just for buying drugs and other illegal things. It's hard to find a legit use for it in the first place, people exchanging real money (or gift cards) for it are almost certainly a fence to get more into the criminal pool of money, even if they don't know it and are 5 levels removed.

Why do you think this isn’t going to happen to you?

I was busy until today and checked Coinbase and the transaction record has been removed from my account completely and my balance is at 0.00 BTC. All I have is the email I got from Coinbase. Keep an eye on your stuff everyone Edit: well since everything is public record it was pretty easy to find the transaction I was "part" of, or however this works https://blockchain.info/en/tx/4259dc7ce821d2b06a401831060bc3cb806d73e788bd6347c717a9a535cbace5 Big red UNCONFIRMED would probably be my issue there.

Kinda off-topic, but I’m reading Donna Brazile’s book about the Clinton campaign. When they discovered that the DNC had been hacked by the Russians, Brazile reached out to people she knew to create a cyber security superteam. One of the dudes was from Coinbase. I feel this explains a few things.

I did some more digging, apparently this can happen though seemingly rare. If there is a problem verifying a group of transactions within 24 hours coinbase removes it. In a few days the overall er... transactions will fail or not fail through whatever process its going through, but either way it all gets returned to the address it came from. My wording is off but its less alarming than it seemed at first. Inconvenient but some byproduct of too many transactions to process. If you look at the status of bitcoin on their website its yellow indicating issues. Other websites say "ongoing network problems" or some varient of that. The coins themselves shouldn't be able to be "lost" by design but it can take up to 7 days to be outright rejected and returned to the original addresses. Or rather the transaction simply wont go through at all is probably a better way to look at it so they never actually left the original address, its more of a hold that is released. Its never happened to me before personally. Access to any bitcoins after a transaction usually was about 4 hours in the past. The only iffy thing I'm thinking of here is im hoping Nicehash can handle this sort of error, though I cant see why not, its just weird to wrap my head around since I dont actually know what address they were actually sitting in to begin with (while in the hands of Nicehash) Oh well. Luckily getting it returned would bring the nice hash balance above the payout limit immediately so Im guessing this upcoming Friday 1gnoirents fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Nov 12, 2017 |

yeah, basically bitcoin is clogged and the transactions are currently backed up something like four or five days even if blocks were being created every 10 minutes, which they're not because miners are bouncing between BTC and BCH. why the hell does nicehash pay out in BTC anyway, Coinbase trade in ETH perfectly well.

My dad passed away a couple years ago and had some mining equipment. I'm in possession of said equipment now and am wondering if it's worth anything to sell. I know next to nothing about it. Can someone give me an idea on value for the following? Bitmain Antminer S5 Gawminers The Fury Raspberry Pi w/8gb sd. Assume this has software? EVGA Supernova 1300G2 power supply All of it is in good condition and worked fine as of 2 years ago. Thoughts on what I should list the lot for? Thanks.

It's worth like 2 dollars a day. Mining hardware gets obsoleted with every GPU generation. You probably could get a few hundred dollars for it though because people are paying 400 dollars for GPUs that do a few dollars a day.

Did they fix either of those things? From my quick googlin, that was just exchanges trading futures (and developers premining), and it only really went live last night. Its back to normal now sadly, but for a few hours after launch my 1070 was pulling over 10bux/day.

I just started mining with my 1070 on Saturday and have some questions that probably exemplify the reasons most people shouldn't participate in this. 1. Nicehash says I'm making $2.47 USD/day. I assume this isn't factoring in my power usage? The profitability calculator on their site says my 1070 will make $1.96 USD/day with my $0.185/kWh energy cost. Is there a way to see how much power my PC is using to see if I'm actually making any profit? 2. Should I be using my CPU? I have an i5-4670k. The benchmarks in Nicehash showed that it was turned off. 3. I'm running my GPU at my max stable overclock. Am I going to kill my card in like 3 months? It's running at about 72C by the way. 4. I should know this regardless if I'm mining or not, but if any/all of the 3 fans on my GPU were to die, is there a failsafe that will turn my PC off so that I don't burn my apartment down? The plus side of this is that I don't need the heat on in my one bedroom apartment here in Minnesota. The day before mining it was 64 degrees on the thermostat and now it's 70!

I like these they're not calibrated for any sort of scientific accuracy, but for calculating your energy cost they're perfect. If you have variable rate power you'll have to figure a bit more based on the times of day, but the power used stays relatively constant. Pascals will throttle very well if the fans fail, I wouldn't want to test it, but I think it can throttle enough to not die even if the heatsink fell off entirely. 72C is no problem at all for Pascal, they're happy to run 24/7 in the mid 80s. You probably shouldn't use your CPU to mine unless your power is the cheapest in the world, usually they cost more to run than the money they make.

Nicehash can't know how much your power costs so no, its not factored in. Use a power calculator, buy a kill a watt, or dont do any of that because in America with the specs you mentioned youre spending about $15-$30 a month if it was running full time 2.yes 3. No, and if it did its better to know now in my opinion. There is always risk in using anything for any reason though 4.yes, the card shuts off immediately The real world concern is fan wear. Its a mechanical part with bearings (of some variant) with tolerances. Also its a good idea to see the profit difference between OC and stock. Its often not worth the fan speed and heat

To the dude asking about mining a couple posts up: I have a 1070 and your exact processor; I run both since the computer is on anyways the CPU is going to be drawing power. May as well snag the 0.25 a day mining with it. I have seven cent per kWh power though, so YMMV.

Thanks for the info. I have a UPS but it's for my NAS so I might have to get one of these Kill A Watts. I looked at the bills since I moved into this apartment and it averages out to $0.175 kWh. I didn't realize it could vary so much. I just looked at saw that the average for Minnesota is 11.35 cents, so I'm way above average for some reason.

This idea is a bit flawed, since for a lot of CPUs there will be a big difference in the power required to run fast enough to manage the OS and Nicehash vs. being 100% pegged. Most desktop CPUs can downclock and run at mobile CPU wattages if they aren't under heavy load. To give an example, my E3-1225 v3 is rated for something like 84W TDP but the whole system was idling around 30 before I stuffed it full of hard drives. It still might be worth it if your power is cheap enough but I'd measure it and do the math if you have a way to do so.

There's usually an addition per KWHr charge once you go over some number per month to penalize heavy users. Might make sense to only run the systems at night in your case.

This is what i thought but turns out its hardly a difference. I save 15 whole watts by not mining on the CPU, making it very efficient to mine with in conjunction with GPU mining.
