Why are you guys contributing to some scammy mining pool full of piss?  Why don't goons have their own pool for internet points?

what's with this selling hash rate stuff? is there actually someone out there buying this abstraction or are the people who run it just taking all the hash power into their pool and skiming off a bunch of effortless gains why come there's no goon mining pool?

Spatial posted:Years ago on some bitcoin forum or other, a guy called Pirateat40 ran a huge ponzi scheme. At the time he had accumulated almost 7% of all bitcoins in circulation; big enough to attract major attention. This earned him a wire fraud conviction and an 18 month prison sentence.

Still kinda sad there's no goon mining pool. Nicehash seems to be a blackbox run by those mysterious and nefarious ruskies.

China's banning of the exchanges apparently didn't affect the market. If tether and Buttfinex collapse, that just makes bitcoins more rare!! Especially if they were insolvent this whole time merely shuffling deposits in some shell game. Really though, the markets are insane and you'd think technical limitations, or hundreds of alternative iterations with better features might drive more dynamic market behavior but when I'm hearing random idiots on the street try to describe to their friends why bitscoin is a groundbreaking technological innovation that will rival global finance institutions and all you need to do is get some and sit on it... I wonder what it will take, to actually crash the bubble.

divabot posted:that the Chinese exchanges were promptly removed from most places' weighted averages they called the "price" two months before they stopped trading, thus meaning the expected price correction signal was cut off before anyone could see it, is totally not a transparent market manipulation and is actually good news for bitcoin, presumably the supply would be "dumped" back onto the market but that didn't happen immediately or rapidly enough to plow through the existing exchanges. the shoe shine boy thing only makes sense partially, mass adoption is a reasonable goal and because really cryptoledger pogs accept the imaginary asset as rival to the paper tokens we're used to using for exchange. i get bitcoin can't handle transaction volume and fees are stupidly prohibitive but the marketing has shifted the goal posts. there's another bucket list of other atrocious design flaws but I'm starting to consider this tire fire database thing might have value in the collective blind faith of the masses. as long as we just keep shoveling coal into this money printing machine things will be good the weird thing to me is there's a few other improved iterations and more to be produced every year so uh.. also i have to wonder where and how the thousands of stolen coins are being dumped and passed off to Computer Serf fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Nov 22, 2017 |

Boris Galerkin posted:I put my email into a waitlist for some app and it sent me approximately $2 in ETH to a Coinbase account that I created. How do I convert this ETH internet money into BTC butt money? Do I really need to go ETH > USD > BTC or can I skip the USD part somehow? Bittrex is a Nevada based exchange and seems to be the least shady so far. Kraken might work too. if you use changely or shifty or whatever those services are, they charge higher fees on conversion.

1gnoirents posted:On the electricity thing, bitcoin is worth so much money now that being upset about electricity cost is getting a little irrelevant. You're going to have to also compare the electricity costs to run financial networks at this point, while not apples to apples, its not like its being pissed into the wind anymore. Unless you think money is worthless and shouldn't consume resources, which is another topic. hey true believer, I'll bet you ten satoshis you don't even use your "money" because it's effectively worthless for anything other than riding a beanie baby pyramid scheme comparing bitcoin to financial networks is comically stupid if not just for how pitiful bitcoins limitation on transactions per 10 minute chucks is gimped at, but the watts per transaction is retarded, like enough to power a US household for day just for altering numbers in a database bitcoin and "proof of work" is literally intended to waste excessive amounts of computer work as millions of computers across the world scream and fart out guesses to a silly puzzle for the sake of keeping an accounting system running you could compare bitcoin to other distributed database systems but please don't advocate for the legitimising of an insanely wasteful beanie baby pyramid scheme database without even questioning if it merits improvement im surprised it's lasted this long and if the energy usage continues to get out of hand, it'll be worth regulating the gently caress out of any business touching it Computer Serf fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Dec 11, 2017 |

thegasman2000 posted:I have a different set of goals for my mini mining rig... I want to heat my house. Basically my house has poo poo heating and I currently use my tumble dryer in conjunction with some oil filled radiators to heat it. I am thinking my lovely PC my son uses for youtube could get a GPU upgrade to make it a miner and heat the upstairs of my digs. Its main requirement would be to payback the price of electricity which here in the UK is high. Any ideas on the card I should go for? It obviously doesn't need to be amazing buy HOT = GOOD. make sure your motherboard has a compatible pci 16 slot, PSU with proper expansion plugs and enough watt capacity. radeon rx series runs hot might also consider the nvidia gtx 1080ti check the inside of your case to assure there's enough headroom for drying fruits

Bloody Antlers posted:I was thinking of doing something like creating an old school bitcoin faucet site that looks like it has been chilling in some corner of the internet since 2012 unnoticed, which pays out like $100 per user in coins every 24 hours. After nerds notice it's fully functional & it goes viral, I would add a captcha that uses characters from the Voynich Manuscript. Then I'd harvest an image of the captcha presented to the user, as well as the response given. The final version of the site would just be a transcript of these attempts to approximate Voynich in QWERTY.  please do the needful

Craptacular! posted:Doesn't that require downloading your own copy of the ginormous blockchain file? I remember one GBS "why Bitcoin sucks" thread talked about how the thing wasn't going to scale as that file became freakin' enormous, and I just assume these sites existed to host and handle it for you. it's just the private key and public address associated. you only need to sync the buttchain to view current balances by using a website or wallet software you're trusting those services to use free market maths and to not actually backdoor your key https://pastebin.com/jCDFcESz the only way you handle your bitscoin is by solving the Byzantine generalist problem with a pencil and paper please avoid statist calculators

Stealthgerbil posted:Gridcoin is legit but no one mines it because its not profitable. Pretty sure Gridcoin is just PoWaste slapped onto the occasional Actual Work because in an adversarial distribute computing network it's hard to prevent spammers submitting false work shares for complicated problems. Golem is trying something similar but faces the same issue.
