Just find an abandoned dam and build a hydro system there, power your miners and a cell phone to the internet, then go :-)

No dam needed: http://www.zotloeterer.com/welcome/

How a whirling wheel is "fish friendly" am not sure  Cheesy  Have to be pretty deep under the wheel..........

It's fish friendly because the speed of rotation is relatively slow. Also when they design a particular project they take the size of the biggest fish living in that river into account.

Use the heat to melt the snow on 3000+ meter high mountains and use the water to drive some hydro power plant. Of course you would need acres and acres of mining farms to achieve that effect and the electricity generated might not be strong enough to drive them

I thought you meant to use the solar power plant for electricity? You'll have enough capital outlay for the mining hardware, the cooling etc. already  and now you want to pay for a hydroplant as well?

I am sure many have built several dedicated mining rigs without monitors attached.
How do you guys monitor the PCs to make sure the mining program is still running and not hanged?


ssh  Smiley

But to begin with I have a "watchdog" script that restarts cgminer if it hangs, so a "hanging" program is not the problem to begin with.

Other than that there's apps like CryptoGlance.

Additionally, some pools provide APIs, so you can monitor with an app on your phone.

Those are from the original batch; not the black arrow builds from spring 2013.  So really its like Spring 2012

Correct. I got my numbers mixed up. It reminds me when I started mining with CM-1s and the guy who helped me with the location sent me that exact pic, because he thought the two settings looked somewhat similar (a lot more hardware in that pic though) Smiley

I get a malware warning from WOT on this website. Are there other (more established) sites who published this article also. Otherwise could someone summarize the main points?  Cheesy

The one in the first post?

Re: 💹 Coinlend.org - The lending bot for Poloniex and Bitfinex

Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Dash lending now supported for Quoinex!


Quoine also supports a few others. See the dropdown box on https://home.quoinex.com/lend/offers . When will those be available? Or am I missing something?

On the other hand the app shows coins on Poloniex, that do not seem to be able to be loaned out:

Edit: Image won't load here. See https://pasteboard.co/HxCc0qY.png


And a feature request. Can you make the "inverse" from your current "reserve amount" option available? I.e. I have 1012 XRP, but only want to make 1000 XRP available for lending by the bot. This would be useful when wanting to withdraw profits for a coin. Otherwise they are mostly locked in loans.

There are many who believe that Bitcoin was created by the Bank for International Settlements ( https://www.bis.org/), as an experimental project to test a future world currency.  The limits placed in Bitcoin prevent it from ever becoming the dominant world payment system, and the banker controlled development can benefit from the knowledge gained from thre eperiment.

They sure changed their mind:

Cryptocurrencies have no intrinsic worth and are useless as a form of exchange. They entail exorbitant transaction costs. They are very slow. Together they have turned into an ecological nightmare.

They are not backed by the assets and revenues stream of an established state. Most can be rendered worthless by fraud or digital manipulation. They are essentially ponzi schemes that masquerade as citizen currencies beyond government control.

Such are the broad findings of the Bank for International Settlements, the Swiss-based ‘bank of central bankers’ and the leading global authority on the crypto-craze.

Interesting stuff..
So you asking people to deposit their hard-earned Crypto currencies oyour wallet  to auto lend them on those exchanges? Do you guarantee the safety of the coins? How?

You got it entirely wrong. Recommended reading: https://coinlend.org/#!FAQ

Always trade in a public place with plenty of CCTV.

For the "somebody comes around the house" scenario, I like the idea of using the Shamir secret sharing for any serious amounts. Make it something 4 out of 12. But instead of putting them in locations that you control, hand the parts to other people who do not know each other (also think lawyers, notaries etc.). It will be impossible for you to spend the coins without making the rounds and see these people. Not entirely risk free of course and you still might get shot.

So, yeah, the fewer people know, the better.

I think we hit bottom... stoch rsi has a crossover and is pointing up... but maybe one indicator isn’t enough.

If indicators would be relaiable it would be too easy... We learned that the hard way. Just HODL, 1BTC = 1BTC until it is sold.

I think there are layers of complexity. First layer is indicators. But one thing u can’t predict or control is 🐳

Volume also spiking now.

If in doubt, fundamentals will win.

Newar, have you found anything?

I'm also looking for historical data across exchanges. Only seems to be 24H vol out there... ideally, I'd like to find 7D and 30D.

Thanks

No, nothing that I am aware of.

Is there anyone who used this service? I would like to know the details? Do you have any feedback on it? The group in the telegram of 100 people does not inspire confidence, but it may still be ahead of this project)

What is your concern? There are some 4000 CoinLend accounts. Telegram is at 200+. Not that those numbers mean much of course.

I personally use it. Probably one of the best services I joined this year.
