My friend called me yesterday about building $10k in mining rigs and I gave every disclaimer I could but I think he's still gonna do it

Wish he lived close to me I'd actually enjoy setting that up.

Yeah, it's basically gambling, but if you go back three months in the thread the bubble was supposed to pop then. At least he'll have assets he can sell at a smaller loss than he would have if he just invested 10k in the buttcoins.

As long as he can afford the loss, go hog wild.

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.

Just cashed out $500 easy. 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.

One-Click-Miner's P2P pools can be pretty spotty. Fortunately OCM can also use normal pools.

I use the Easymine pool. To set it up click the add pool in lower right and put in:
stratum+tcp://lyra2.easymine.online:5000
for the pool address, put in x for the password, and add in your wallet address like normal. Also OCM has a 1% donation rate to its creaters set by default so make sure you set that to 0 in settings menu.

That�s super helpful, thanks!

What would you say is a reasonable fee to build an 8 card GTX1070 mining rig for someone? I�d build and install the requisite software for whatever coin he wants. I see that people are selling them for $5800 which seems excessive, but I�m not sure. I don�t have a point of reference.

Eh, I get paid quickly enough that I don�t really give a poo poo who�s fake money goes missing. My 1070 has paid for itself nearly twice over at this point and NiceHash switching to the most profitable coin to mine at any given time makes me more money and saves me effort.

Yeah, it�s a scam. But it makes me money and I sell and run ASAP. I think their hack cost me twenty bucks or so.

I�ve got 3 1070s now; NiceHash is showing $12.94 daily. Long as they don�t get hacked more than every 12 days (about how long it will take to hit 0.01BTC to get a payout) I�ll be good.

In true bitcoin fashion, this is of course buried at the bottom and was 100% not mentioned at all anywhere in their re-launch messaging, because lol at setting the minimum payout to like $1500 (or $1200 or $1600 or...)

Seriously just do Nicehash interal wallet into Coinbase, most of the time my 1080ti is doing over $10 USD a day, and rarely does it go under $9. With those rates you hit the minimum withdrawl(.001 or $13.50 at current BTC prices) every other day so you don't have to worry about losing much at all if there's another hack.

I swapped off Winminer as soon as I could as the rates on it were garbage compared to just about anything else.

What kind of 1080ti are you running? $10 USD seems way high.

So I took NeoScrypt off of the algorithms list on NiceHash because it was making a couple cards crash randomly (out of memory somehow). I�ve gotta get that fixed because that explains the discrepancy with what I�m seeing in the thread.

I mean $4 per card is cool, but it could be more.
