Thanks so much for your help with this.

I'm now mildly overclocking to around 5TH with this unit and it's running so well on the Bitaxe software.

Ok hold on...I disassembled the unit, and reseated the 6 heatsink screws, and all seems to be ok.

The two vregs came back to full power.

Don't ask me why since they don't ground or somehow function other than to hold the board to the heatsink...but it seems to be better and hashing at 4.5th now. 

I don't like fixes that don't have a measurable value, or reason why, but its working again.

I'd like to order one before taking it apart....what size did you put in to replace your blown capacitor?

I'm having the same trouble, what SMD cap size was it?

Perhaps I'll take mine apart and take a look.

Monero without a doubt, for the privacy aspect, and automatic block size adjustment as features that are already better than bitcoin.

There is so much development going on in the Monero sphere that I don't think any other alt comes close.

It's the only other crypto that I own right now. I don't have to wait for the end of the world in bitcoin to invest/hedge in another crypto.

and OP is right thats how to kill XT, you listen to what the community wants and you give it to them.

lol no. the comunity does not have a friggin clue about what it wants.

+ that 3 version core is bullshit. you dont want to split 3 bitcoin version, i mean seriously? wtf man.  Angry

either you are happy with bitcoin and support it fully, or you dont and go find some other altcoin. but either way you stfu about its development.


In a few months there may be dozens of alternate bitcoin forks and no one will be able to trust or understand half of them...bitcoin will be obfuscated the same way the alt scene has turned to a confusing infinite pile of shit coins.

according to KNC, the mining cost of bitcoin is significantly below $400, i think it's around $170 per coin and they are trying hard to mine more and dump more

KNC 3T miner at 1710 Watts: $5995 (of cause the cost of manufacture is under $3000)
mine 1 bitcoin: 3.412 week, Power Cost: $98
let's say you mine 50 bitcoins and stop mining, cost per coin: $158

Except mining 50 bitcoins with that device would take 170 weeks (or about 3 years) at the current difficulty...and we all know the difficulty won't go up for the next 3 years right?

Idiotic....the mining cost of a single bitcoin is far beyond the btc/usd exchange price right now.

So the question I have for everyone is are we really ready for another bubble?  For those of you that have been through a rally before do you remember how addicted we became to the charts? Even more so than now, which can be hard to believe for some of us. And if you are anything like me, all I seemed to talk about day and night was Bitcoin.  My kids would even say, "Stop talking about Bitcoin!"  But the obsessiveness was because of the adrenalin rush of price increases every day, every hour and sometimes every minute!  Hopefully I can remain more calm and less of an "addict" this time around.  We will see. . .  

I prefer a modest rise of 10% per week in the beginning of a new bubble, so we rise too fast. Wild guess: this time we first get a minibubble of say 2000 USD/B, after a pause of a month or so we get the real bubble.


How far does the real bubble go?

Initially, I had been thinking $2.5k to $5k; however, since we seemed to have been delayed a few extra months, I began to conjecture between $3k and $13k... mostly based on pent-up demand and the fact that there has been considerable more infrastructure built and additional easy abilities for big money to easily get in or out, in fairly short notice.

I agree, much pent-up demand. At least $10K.



Here is what I have in my spreadsheet:
Today            Oct 14, 2014   2110   $3,058.58      0.600   $12,176.43   
FV Test  Date   Dec 2, 2014   2159   $4,296.43                 $17,104.41

So, what it's saying is that if it has already started...today's log10()trend value should be $3058, and we predict 7 weeks from today as the peak of log10() +0.600 above the trend of $17104.

log10() +0.600 is a conservative estimate, in the past we have gone log10() +1.7 above the trend but that seems unfathomable to me right now...because that would put us into numbers above $212k per btc.

@findftp

I think the time period for your peak prediction is a little short...would you agree?
That's only 2-4 weeks.

The last rise to peak was 7 weeks, before that it was 12 weeks.

I'd guess we are in for a longer period this time due to the lengthy time between peaks....we have some catching up to do to get back to trend.

Perhaps we will see a new peak before the new year if it is beginning now....that's 10 weeks away.

"It is not a corporation's job to provide an unskilled worker skills to do a job they are not qualified for."

This is absolutely wrong. Corporations take these chances every day and they most often pay off.
It's not their "job" to train workers per se, but they would be stupid to neglect the ability to get quality employees for far less than they are potentially worth.
When a corporation takes a chance on a worker they are investing in the worker. Someone with zero skills is a high risk investment. If it turns out the worker is lazy or is not smart enough to grasp the concept of what is being taught him then they will still have an unskilled employee on their payroll that is not productive and will not be able to get a return on their investment.

A corporation will likely be able to pay someone they will train a somewhat lower wage. If the employee they are training is very smart and can do what is being taught them very well then the employee can take those newly learned skills (that the corporation just paid for) and go to another company that can offer more money.

It is a lose-lose situation to hire and train a no-skilled worker for a job that requires skill

Again...totally wrong. They will swing for the fence 9 times out of 10 and if they hit one home run it is all worth it.

"they will still have an unskilled employee on their payroll that is not productive and will not be able to get a return on their investment"

Not true at all, no one guarantees you a job...if you don't make the cut you are out on your ass. It happens every day.

I'm actually a stunning example of this...but it is a long story no one cares to hear.


Companies will generally not fire you for only a few bad days or if someone does not become as productive as they should be immediately. It generally takes at least ~6 months of poor performance before someone will be let go for bad performance.

The problem is that if someone is very good and is able to be very productive after they received their company paid training, there is nothing that would prevent them from taking those skills and going to another employer who can pay a higher salary because they do not invest as much on training entry level employees. The company that takes a chance and hires someone who has no skills is essentially paying for the 2nd company's training

Same with people who are already trained -- they can leave for more money, too. The difference is that workers will feel more loyalty to the companies who take the time to train them. The issue of companies not generally firing people for only a few bad days, on the other hand, is a specific issue that companies can choose to structure their evaluation process to avoid in various ways, and is not specific to new trainees.


Additionally, at least here in Canada many companies get you to sign a contract before you go for expensive training.
If you leave within a predetermined period after the training, you are generally either held in a non-comp clause, or a clause where they can bind you to pay back the cost of your training.

The company I work for put $250k of training into me over the last 10 years, $150k of that in the first 2 years alone to get me up to speed initially...they took a shot on me and out of loyalty alone I'm not going anywhere, they compensate me accordingly so I would never even consider moonlighting or going out on  my own.

In return, they have made so much fucking money from my work...they have no complaints about training costs.

So, this is the flip side to paying to train people...there are failures and there are success stories.

Re: Would this guy buy coins without a reason?

on 11/10/2014, 18:23:18 UTC

not sure he is a scammer; I doubt Coindesk would advertise a scammer would they?

Do you think they do due diligence on everyone who has a quote in an article? I seriously doubt it. This guy is a total scam = but do your own research before trading, of course.
All that coindesk is doing is reporting an offer that someone has publicly given. They are not endorsing the person nor saying that he will not scam.

If he were to try to buy as much bitcoin as he is trying to buy on an exchange he would likely not see 8% slippage so it would make much more sense for him to simply buy on an exchange.

The only potential way this would not be a scam is if he is trying to buy up a lot of bitcoin  but also wants privacy. I do think he can buy up a lot of bitcoin while still having privacy without offing such a large markup, but he may want to buy his position sooner rather then later.

According to the market depth at this very minute....a market buy of 2k bitcoins raises the price by 4.2%.

So much for your statement "buy on an exchange he would likely not see 8% slippage"...if it was a substantial amount of coins the slippage would far exceed his 8% premium price. (10k coins bought at market puts the price in the stratosphere.)

This is why it would be smarter in the long run for the exchanges to tell these guys to fuck off and  buy on the exchange.
It would dramatically raise the price making all of us much happier...including the miners.

But no...they keep undercutting each other and the market to make a quick buck instead of forcing them to market and making a killing...so be it, let them suffer for their stupidity.

For the Cryptonote coins, they have 12 decimal place for the coins, is it necessary? Is it better to increase the total number of coins by 10000  times and remove 4 decimal places?  Would that decrease the block size?

One recent block reward of XMR is 13.828558554977, if we remove the last 8 digit, so that it is 13.8285. That will remove the dust and that value is still close to the original one, the difference is only 0.0001/13.

Interesting. I traded a small number of BTC for XMR, but it is underperforming BTC.
XMR owners might need to wait much much longer (I give it 50:50 or even less to succeed, especially looking at BTC troubles).

Sir Richard is about to change bitcoin forever. Price to the moon!
