If you paid for it, they should honour it or at least respond with timescale but Yobit has grown so much, with so many new coins...
Yobit will definitely help the price of Plura and expose the coin to more people.

Sent Plura to this Exchange to test, 15 confirmations on the wallet, but exchange balance 0 Plura.

People should avoid this exchange and wait for exchange that actually works.


Its OK, coins are in the exchange wallet now.

Withdrew the same amount of coins from the exchange. Took less than one minute.

Mini Solar Rigs - 100Watt Panels, 100 Watt ASIC's - 5MH/s at a time
by
DoctorG
on 02/10/2017, 05:14:48 UTC
Hi Peeps.

Ive been questioning the possibility of building a solar farm for years! But I dont have Thousands to invest. All I am looking for is the pure profit that Solar would give after the investment has been paid off. I was looking at a modular setup of smaller rigs, each stand alone.

100 Watt Panels are very cheap on Ebay, around 100 dollars. I know I can get small rigs such as a Gridseed for less than 150 dollars, so then the question is, would it be worth putting as many of these together as possible, keeping each panel and gridseed blade 5-6MH/s as an individual circuit. Total cost with battery around 300 dolars each.

My thoughts are :-

Low Wattage is Safer, I wont be killing myself or any local cats.
Low Wattage does not require any legal CERTIFICATION from the powers that be.
I can build when I can afford, adding to the number of miners
More redundancy
Cheaper Batteries - as this seems to be the problem for any solar setup in terms of cycling and maintenance.


My question is, over a period of time, could such a set up be profitable enough?

Sorry if this question has been asked before.

Thanks

Alternative uses for Clingfilm instead of wrapping food.
by
DoctorG
on 15/05/2017, 10:09:46 UTC
Who would of thought....

This was suggested to me by a friend of mine.
  • I have successfully used clingfilm for masking tyres when painting rims. wrap around the circumference of tyre and tuck between tyre and rim.
  • I have used it for keeping bolts and engine parts together
  • I have wrapped it around the bristles on paint brushes after use -  rather than clean them. (stops paint hardening)

Do you have any other uses for clingfilm?

Rattle Can Spray Paint Soft - How to Harden? Polishing?
by
DoctorG
on 13/05/2017, 21:17:01 UTC
Does anyone have any tips for Making Spray Paint Harden?
I find that its always quite soft, despite painting in light layers, and waiting an hour before recoat.
I have even tried baking small parts in the oven on low heat to avoid bubbling, but this doesnt seem to work.

Has anyone every used spray cans to paint something and found that certain colours like black are oily, soft, and easy to push a finger nail into?

Im finding that sanding and polishing is helping, but paint is still soft!

Thanks

Hey All,

Its a shameless plug this one. Sorry about this.

Long story short, Crashed my bike last summer - Damaged Knee Picture here, I wont share the rest.


Anyway, I'm rebuilding the bike - Bike picture here : Note the new disc, refurbed caliper, fork seals, fork oil, springs, new head and wheelbearings, Tyres and lots of powdercoating !



I gotta raise the funds, I am missing out on some great weather.


So my 7.2Th/s Hashflare account is up for sale here:


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1898860.msg18847333#msg18847333

Im in no hurry to sell, but for the right price (a fair price for buyer and seller) I can continue to buy the bits I need to move onto the next stage of the build Cheesy

Always look out for idiots in flash cars who forget to put fuel in and leave car where you cant see at. In my case,it was a black audi left in the outside lane on a blind bend late at night... nuff said.

Thanks all Cheesy

Prediction - $1500 in 30 days - What do you think?
by
DoctorG
on 27/04/2017, 04:50:24 UTC
I have seen a lot of news over the past 6 months, since BTC sold for around 600 dollars.
One thing that seems to have stood out in the news is the relentless positive attitude surrounding Bitcoin.
The price continues to thrive and big business wants a piece of the action.
Words such as 'decentralized' and 'blockchain' have become so common in start-up's and established business.
In a world where where we used to have emoji's we now have guides on emoji grammar. The online world is changing.  Shocked
I cant tell you all that I have any more knowledge than the average Bitcoin Miner.

So fro 600 to 1300 dollars in 6 months, My prediction is for BTC to hit $1500 in 30 days. That's my logic!

If it doesn't, I you have my word that I will not try to predict the future again, now where did I put my crystal ball....

Hey!

Please post your best non-swearing insult here.

It's always handy to have a 'comeback' for those people in life that truly deserve insulting.

Here are a few to get you going.

"You are like that first piece of bread, everyone touches you but nobody wants you!"

"Your Birth Certificate is an apology letter from Durex!"

"You have a face only a mother could love!"

Bitcoin worth $500,000 dollars by 2030? Views and Comments
by
DoctorG
on 11/04/2017, 06:30:23 UTC
Hey dudes,
I would be interested in your views and comments regarding this nugget of news.
You can google for full story of course!

First Snapchat investor says Bitcoin will be worth $500,000 dollars by 2030
Their argument is based on a growing usage for transferring money across borders and countries.

I personally think this is a little far fetched, although I never had the money or knowledge to invest in snapchat.
Perhaps I am not best qualified then to comment.

I know you guys are more knowledgeable than me, so let me know your views!

If this really is the case, even if BTC is worth 1/10th of that, its worth holding that fraction of Bitcoin for the future.

Will this cause more people to hold coins?

Any Whales out there thinking that they will finally be able to buy themselves a little Island all to themselves Cheesy ?

Pool Hacked, Or Dishonest Pool, or Rig Rental ? - Exchange(s) Log-in Attempts
by
DoctorG
on 25/03/2017, 05:46:22 UTC
Hey All,

BE AWARE AS ALWAYS

I am getting a few email notifications telling me that an attempt has been made to log in to :

C-CEX, and BTC-E (failed attempts)

I believe this to be a pool hack, username they are trying to log in with is the username I used for mining pools and mining pools only.
I have used it, about 4 years ago, when I first started mining, so its an old username.

Example Notification I have by email:

BTC-E - Unsucessful login
Login (My Username)
IP (I have hidden this, as it would tie my BTCTalk username to the pool login)
Date and Time 24.03.17 13:30

This came about 2 weeks after a number of attempts on C-CEX account.

I am 90% sure this is from Pool Data from some time ago, maybe up to 4 years ago.

The only other thing I can think its come from is online rig rental, which requires the pool config to mine.

All the best,

Doctor G

If its helped you stick a few sats in here : 12NFXPzdznYdBpQqG8FoVFLS7dC8LCLEiR

*Edit* - My concern is that I only used popular pools, I dont want to name to spread FUD, You guys should know how to manage your online security by now Cheesy - Dont use your pool username for exchanges! or anything else.

Have I been Pwned - BTC-E notification but old news

Hey all,
Hope life is treating you well!
Ive just had a notification from HAVEIBEENPWNED saying my data was one of those in the BTC-E dataleak.
Seems strange to get this 3 years on, it is old news.
Anyone any ideas why Im getting this notification now?
Im not concerned about the account, Im not stupid enough to leave anything in the exchanges.
Seems a little late to notify anyone (3 years?), has something else materialised about the data breach that anyone knows of?
All the best,

Electrum Fee's and long transaction times.
by
DoctorG
on 05/03/2017, 10:32:26 UTC
Hi Guys,

Ive been struggling with Electrum a lot recently, I dont know if this is down the the current state of the Blockchain and Difficulty.

Sending small amounts, such as 0.01 BTC have taken 2 - 3 days before now!

I have had Electrum on Auto Fee's and I have seen the FEE TO LOW message a couple of times.
I have hit the slider to Max Fee which on 0.01 is 0.001, but found that it is still around 25 blocks.

Is it possible to hard type the fee for a transaction, as I dont want to get caught out?

Stuck transactions in the Core wallet are one thing, but not a lot of information online about stuck transactions in Electrum.

Ive been singing the praises of Electrum since I was introduced to it 6 months ago, now Im wondering if it really is the best solution for someone like me, who sends small amounts.

Thanks in advance.

What causes older Mobile Phones to Slow Down?
by
DoctorG
on 05/02/2017, 17:52:50 UTC
Hi Dudes...

What causes older Mobile Phones to Slow Down?
Is it because the memory Read/Writes are failing?

Also, why is it, when a mobile phone is left for 6 months in a drawer, the touch screen fails on cheaper phones?

This tends not to happen with Samsung and Apple Phones, but overall, the cheaper the phone, the quicker it degrades....

I wonder sometimes if the touchscreen corrodes or something...
