I was mining Digitalcoin and Worldcoin for a while and was always wondering why I didn't get the payout I calculated. I always got (considerably) less.

Thanks to coinchoose.com now I know why. It's because of the high stale rate of these coins.

For example Worldcoin has "% Profitability of BTC" : 109.92%
But "Profitability % Adj for Stales" is only 73.90%

Same for Digitalcoin: "% Profitability of BTC" : 107.52%
But "Profitability % Adj for Stales" is only 81.04%

All those fast coins have this high stale problem (e.g. Fastcoin has profitability 97.21%, but adjusted for stales it's only 57.18% !).

So it's actually much more profitable to mine other coins.

Starting today, I am attempting to go from .15 btc to 30 btc to buy a bike listed on bitmit. It will probably not be listed if I get to my goal, but its worth a shot.

THESE PEOPLE HAVE SENT ME BTC TO JOIN ME IN THIS JOURNEY.  I AM PLACING THE SAME BETS FOR THEM AS I AM MYSELF, SO THEY CAN MAKE SOME MONEY ALONG WITH ME:

SuperBit has sent .8308 btc, and I will place the same bets and bet amounts as what I place for myself in this thread
DebitMe has .8308 btc, and I will place the same bets and bet amounts as what I place for myself in this thread
Optimator has sent me 5BTC to use to place the same bets, but I will be betting more on each bet for him.  Same games though.
ShooToo has sent me 1BTC to use to place the same bets, but I will be betting more on each bet for him.  Same games though.
WillThePill has sent me 1BTC to use to place the same bets, but I will be betting more on each bet for him.  Same games though.
TheTortoise has sent me .274 to use to place the same bets, I will be betting less than my bets for him.  Same games though.


Current Bankroll:  1.145 btc

I will post stats and my picks each day here.

Each betting unit will be .01 btc. Feel free to follow this thread, and if you would like to join bitbook.biz please pm me and use me as a referral, and if I make my goal and you place bets with me as your referral, ill transfer you a part of what I make from referrals.

I will be using three different sports books as of now.  They are:

https://casinobitco.in
https://bitbook.biz/?referer=xboxgames
http://bitcoinsports.eu/wat kinda bike

Casinobitco.in has graciously credited my account with .1 btc worth of credits on their site to help towards this challenge.  I will be reporting back in this thread during the progress of it as to how fast their payouts are, customer service, etc., good or bad.  I appreciate their rep reaching out to me.

http://bit777.com contacted me and provided me a .10 freeroll, with the stipulation of I got to play three games on their site, if I lost, they would refund me.  If I won, I could cash out and apply wiinings to this challenge.  I ended up winning .12, and they sent me an additional .1, so they contributed .22 to this goal.  Thanks, bit777!

After failed IPO* of the 72TH-mine (due to default of the manufacturer) and first delivery of ASIC products by Avalon we decided to float an asset based on alternative ASIC development project conducted in close collaboration with BitFury.org. The new mine (100TH-mine) will have much better profitability than the previous project.

Summary:when will it ship

Strong aspects:
-   low investment costs: only $5 / 1GH/s (4 times cheaper than competing products)
-   low maintenance costs due to low power dissipation of the chip: approximately 0.2-0.3 Watt / 1GH/s (4-20 time better than competition)
-   4 year manufacturer warranty
Weak aspects:
-   chip not tested yet, tape out in 1 month (full mask, engineering run), final simulation results will be posted in 2 weeks
-   deployment of 100TH-mine in July 2013

Details:

The proposed project is a 100 terahash/s Bitcoin mine. The hashing hardware will consist of mining boards developed in collaboration with BitFury. Today’s network hashing power is 4 times lower than 100TH/s but this situation will change dramatically in the next 4 months before the deployment of the hardware. The hardware will be located in the datacenter operated by MegaBigPower.com. The monthly maintenance and management costs will be kept at the 5k USD level. Hardware will be produced and assembled in June 2013. Mining will start at the data center on 2012-07-01. Estimations based on a predicted realistic continuous monthly network hashrate increase of 100TH/s (starting from 0TH/s on 2013-01-01) and BTC exchange rate of 17 USD point to a return of investment of 500k USD in 3 months after mining starts, i.e. in September 2013. Total income over the next 4 years after subtraction of the initial investment costs of 500k USD amounts to 2.7M USD. The suggested valuation of the venture is 500k USD (5 USD per 1GH/s, 1 USD per share), which is currently much below the retail purchase price of the hardware from competing suppliers. The venture will be legally operated as a PicoStocks project. No separate legal entity will be created.

The main risk of the project is the delay of the installation of the mining equipment. PicoStocks, legally responsible for the project, will reimburse investors if an income of 1M USD (10 USD per 1GH/s, 2 USD per share) will not be achieved by the mine until end of 2016 due to delayed installation.

The venture has 750 000 shares. If more than 500 000 shares will be ordered the hashing power will be increased proportionally above the expected 100TH/s to 150TH/s if all shares are sold. Each share is valued at 1 USD (recommended price) and corresponds to 0.2 GH/s. Shares that will not be ordered will be erased and a smaller mine will be deployed. The management costs will be decreased proportionally. The minimum price is 0.04 BTC which is below the expected price of 1 USD per share so the minimum valuation of the project is 400k USD for 100TH/s at an USD/BTC exchange rate of ca. 20 (today). The suggested price per share is 0.05 BTC, which corresponds to 1 USD per share and a valuation of the asset at 500k USD for 100TH/s. We offer a minimum price of 0.04BTC only because we worry that the exchange rate can rise in the coming 2 weeks before the IPO will be closed (in 2 weeks from now).

I've been starting to notice that when BTC goes up, BTC stocks go up, when BTC goes down, stocks don't necessarily.

I am thinking about selling my BFL ASIC 60 GH/s Bitcoin miner order. For low price and with escrow.
Re
It's not an early order, but after prices on ASICMiner blades
   (~55 - 75 BTC for 10 GH/s => ~12 BTC income with ~5-7 mounths return).
or ASICMiner usb miner
   (~2 BTC for 0.3 GH/s => ~0.38 BTC income with ~6 mounths return).

I think BFL ASIC 60 GH/s miner is still interesting offer with x6 hashing power 
   (~25-35 BTC for 60 GH/s => ~77-60 (with 6 mounths delay) BTC income with ~0.5 mounths return).

The only risk - if BFL will never ship their orders, but I think they will, because there are a lot of PayPal orders. So this will be a huge financial loss, closed PayPal seller account and possibly "closed doors" in bitcoin community. Not an option for BFL, I believe. 

Offer your price and conditions. At this moment I am thinking about 45 BTC with 40% escrow and returning by 15% per mounth to buyer in 3 mounths if there will be delay. (My estimation of BFL delay ~3 months).

There will be no proofs here - people become really nervous after posting invoices. I'll show account login process to the buyer. Or I may send image / paper invoice.

"preferred" was a poor choice of words, as I don't require it but it is in all parties' best interests.  Escrow is for the buyer's benefit.  I don't require it.  And yes, they must pay the fee if they wish to use it in my sale. 

Not quite sure how to respond to the second statement.  Thank you for looking.

Sorry, already sold.

But I have another one worth $250 valid until 25/Aug which I can sell for 0.5 BTC. Let me know if you are interested.

Hello,

I'm looking to buy Ipod touches which are either defective in some way or have damaged/cracked screens.You may ask why? I'm going to be replacing the screens or the necessary parts and use them for a project which I'm going to be developing.

I would like for you guys to post you're ipod touches with details of it's faults and pictures of the device. I will be offering what I think it's worth.

WWDC coins?

I'm willing to do Escrow. Either through John K or @ Bitmit.net



Please contact me either through private message or posting below, thank you.

128 chip credits available to Bitcoin buyers and offered at 50% face value or best offer.

https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/3272-customer-appreciation-chip-credit-program.html

Chip credits allow you to buy BFL ASIC chips at $50 per chip ($25 discount). Buy mine for $12.50 per credit - OBO.

PM me an offer.

EDIT: I mistakenly thought that both these bets(?) were of the same nature, which is not the case.

EDIT AGAIN: This is the post I meant to include and not the bet with runeks.

Who's doing the lawsuit
Here is the proof that Josh owes 1000 BTC:

Proof that BFL owes 1000 BFL: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/content/123-bfl-offers-1000-btc-charity-if-they-miss-their-power-targets.html

---

Unless you are an idiot, the above clearly shows that the first case is a bet between runeks and Josh, whereas the later case is somebody speaking in the capacity of BFL assuring their customer base--current and future--that they'll produce products within a certain tolerance, offering up a 1000 BTC donation to some charity as a guarantee.

Josh reaffirms his bet, whereas BFL didn't have to, for they're on record on their official website that a 1000 BTC guarantee is place.

It's safe to assume that at least one person ordered a BFL product based off this official statement on BFL's website. It's also safe to assume that at least two people purchased BFL products due to Josh's bet because of the trust factor alone.

---

I'm on record in stating that I will donate $200 USD (doesn't matter if in $ or BTC) to a charity of Josh's or BFL's choice (doesn't matter which or to whom) once they show proof of delivery.

Instead of trying to dispute that such deliveries have yet to take place, I will simply concede that they have shipped. Ergo, I OWE $200 to some yet unnamed charity of which I will honor...

...As soon as both their 1000 BTC donations are satisfied.

Ditto. Comment as you wish.

LTC , as well as PhenixCoin, which is not listed there, PXC has the best most active developers behind their coin right now. Their website, Phenixst.com (free escrow site) Casino, their own exchange coming out soon, PXC was the only coin that successfully got held back off cryptsy to give it more time to grow.
 Some people will bash PXC, they just havent studied enough to find whats really important behind a new coin.

Where the new alt-coins at?!?

I need something to mine to make me rich
