Risky Bisquick posted:Please also note that we are periodically discarding balances, lower than 0.0001 BTC for miners that are inactive 30 days, and balances lower than 0.001 BTC for miners that are inactive 90 days. All balances from all algorithms are aggregated into a single payment. Nicehash has wallets too, though ive never heard anyone here use it. Its getting more appealing though because 0.001 is no longer a trivial amount of money and the payout limit to external wallets is baaically 100 dollars now. Nicehashes own wallet allows you to get paid from the miner at much lower limits. I just dont know if its reputable or trustworthy compared to coinbase Q8ee posted:I was buying from the UK, maybe it's more lax in the US. All I know is, it was the legitimate Coinbase website and they pretty much didn't respond whatsoever to my support tickets and I had 300GBP sitting uselessly in my Coinbase wallet, and I'd spend 20GBP on all the transaction fees to exchange it from BTC > GBP. My support ticket was pretty much kindly asking them if they'd revert the transactions, seeing as I was physically unable to withdraw said money without jumping through a tonne of hoops, none of which were made obvious to me until after Coinbase happily took their cut. Yeah sorry I read that but forgot to say that I did lol. Sounds like a no go for me too if I had to do that bs. I didnt know if 1st panzer was using coinbase outside of the US

Most users get hit with 4% fee on ext payout, nicehash wallet is typically 2% + 0.0003 BTC On an ext payout of 10 mBTC , 4% is 0.4 mBTC On an ext payout of 10 mBTC , 2% is 0.5mBTC (0.2 mBTC as 2% fee + 0.3 mBTC) They want you to think you're getting a deal on a percentage basis and slap you with the 0.3 mBTC withdrawl fee

Out of curiosity, how does an online currency’s bubble burst? Online retailers are accepting it and I don’t know what could ruin its value beside someone manage to break the encryption?

A country like China decides to make it illegal or they start seizing wallets making the casual speculative buyers uneasy and cash out. It causes the next level of slightly more serious holders to see the drop and try to get ahead of it before they lost more. And so on until only the true believers hold Bitcoin like a few years ago There are A LOT of standing buy orders that will absorb a lot of the initial panic sells so when it does hit it will hit extra hard

So to clarify: you can use Coinbase to store coins and cash them out with Gyft without having to send Coinbase a bunch of info? I don’t have any valid photo ID (I’ve never learned to drive cars and my passport expired last month), so just asking for the short term.

Gyft makes it really, really easy. Literally just copy the BTC address they give you, copy the BTC amount and send it. Got my code in like two minutes.

All they have is my name and phone number for dual factor login. Im not even sure they needed my name but that can lead to headaches when money is moving around. Should probably get a state ID though. Not having any ID in the states is highly inconvienent and is a big red flag to a lot of groups. I know this sounds condescending and im sorry for that and im sure you know it.

Nyaa posted:Out of curiosity, how does an online currency’s bubble burst? Online retailers are accepting it and I don’t know what could ruin its value beside someone manage to break the encryption? I think it'll be one of the three below, but there's a million other ways it could fail too: 1) Major world governments effectively criminalize usage of bitcoin, making it almost impossible to ever convert from bitcoin to local currency through the control that governments are able to exert over banks in their countries and their citizens. 2) Either an intentional DDOS or just unintentional unchecked growth of bitcoin popularity makes the transaction volume so high that transactions get clogged up for days and become incredibly expensive, exposing how bitcoin can't scale. They might be able to continue to hard-fork their way out of this one. 3) Due to the complete lack of regulation that Bitcoin fans defend as a core feature of Bitcoin, somebody with deep pockets or one of the major exchanges starts engaging in wholesale market manipulation. There's a reason that the SEC and all major stock exchanges have rules and regulations. I saw this one happen in Ethereum, a major player ran the order books at an exchange all the way down to 0. He crashed the price right down to $0.10. 4) MtGox happens again. A major exchange, let's say Bitfinex, or GDAX, either is entirely bankrupt and gets asked for more USD than they are able to pay out, or alternatively the owners of the exchange see that they can walk away with a billion each and probably hide, and just decide to steal everyone's money and run.

QuarkJets posted:That doesn't explain why they give preference to Nicehash wallets This is an interesting question. As far as i know its a real separate wallet address so all the real world fees should apply? In that case its probably a matter of promoting your own services. With a flat payout fee though, that became immediately unappealing.

Do people find that risers are actually reliable? I tried them once, I did all the usual stuff (turn PCIe speed down to 1.0x, enable 4G+ addressing, etc), and I was still getting maybe a 48-hour MTBF with 4 or 5 GPUs on a board. Honestly it seems like it makes more sense to go with fewer but faster GPUs and to not use risers.

Honestly it seems like it makes more sense to go with fewer but faster GPUs and to not use risers. I actually use 16x-to-16x risers for 4x 1080 Tis for Machine Learning stuff and they work perfectly fine and are a lot more intensive than mining. By all accounts, the 16x-to-1x stuff works well for mining. I got my risers from a B&M place that sells the lower end cables for miners and they're doing brisk business. shrike82 fucked around with this message at 09:39 on Nov 29, 2017 |

Okay after running Nicehash in demo mode for a bit, I don't know why 1070s are/were in demand. $2.53 cents a day is like, woo, every day I get 25% of what a McDonalds employee earns in an hour. And all I have to do is activity that will shorten my $400 GPU's lifespan to 6-24 months. What a deal! 10k/BTC is nice for the people with warehouses still farming bitcoins, but until Ether or one of these altcoins rises you're not actually seeing an appreciable increase in mining. You are, I assume, just holding the results of said mining in a wallet for a while hoping it'll worth a slightly larger gift card in two weeks. Which might not happen because this is bitcoin we're talking about and it goes the wrong way all the time.
