I am with different hosting provider, but they have the same ability

I am happy to do that and will do it now if required, I need a lender to get on board and facilitate the loan then.

Hi there,

As stated, It's seriousness for me personally is truly important, I don't have collateral but can provide quick repayment:

Amount - 0.08 BTC
Required by - Now
Reason - Emergency
Collateral - None(this acc but don't think it's worth that)
Repay by - 6 Nov 2015
Amount repaid - 0.0912 (14% interest)

BTC Address - 1LKhtaZN5WnQnHzhNppma54gjXTFoVX4ZK

Honestly, no motives or plans to waste people's time or money, nor default, it's serious enough for me, repayment is early, you're help would be very much appreciated, really!

Cheers
Zulu

Re: does location affects mining performance?

thank you for the detailed explanation jonnybravo  Smiley

 scenario is exceedingly unlikely true that !! curious if there is a formula to calculate performance per Watt...

   can you please explain to me more the "7.7 * 291,036 = 2,240,978 TH/s = 2.24 EH"
many thanks!

 Huh

If you had a formula to do that, what would that benefit you to have that answer? if the device/hardware has a stated rate of performance i.e 7.7TH, then that is the output you are likely to get from it, when you switch it on, what could affect it differently?

I can only think of things like

- Temperature
- Humidity
- Cooling (positive affect of course)

If the vendor selling the miner states "Up to x.x TH/s" or "Best effort" then it's got other defining factors, but to my understanding, it has a base set of power input it requires to run, and after that, the power factor doesn't make any difference other than the cost to you the individual and up time etc..

Or are we talking about the "Clean Power" vs "Power" because I don't know what the difference is?

Looks interesting, i will keep watching this project closer.

We need a better bitcoin trading platform.

Thanks for your comment escalicha. Stay tuned because we're going to constantly update our threads!





I'm not so sure, i think there are various people claiming to have the "Best Trading Platform" I think many are good and equally many are bad, the biggest fundamental stuff missing is, and this is not the complete list:

- Support
- Response Times
- Supported Currencies
- Ease of deposits/withdrawals

Site looks neat and wording/professional approach seems to be the core, looks promising enough to keep an eye on.

Hi and thanks for your opinion cryptozulu,
SpaceBTC team has been testing and comparing exchange matching engines. Benchmarks results show that you will operate with the fastest matching engine.

As well, we agree with your fundamental stuff list! That's why SpaceBTC offers:
  • Realtime support in our site
  • FIX/FAST API - Fastest matching engine
  • BTC - LTC pairs. Other cryptocurrencies will be added soon
  • Credit cards, SEPA, Wiredeposits and withdrawals

Hi there,

Thanks for the detailed feedback, I have to say, based on the items listed above, it does sound like you have done due diligence in many aspects of your new exchange, and largely answered the call of many call it "problematic" areas. How would one go about getting an invite to the platform? I would be interested in getting a hands on feeling for the features/services

There is a phrase and I quote "Occam's Razor" meaning "the Simplest answer is usually the right one" To a degree based on your approach and wording, you are talking about something that seems to resemble some of it, or at least gives a A+ effort, everything cant always be simple, however one must endeavor to really try and keep it clean, I think the end user enjoys that more, its a busy buzzing world out there, people have so little time nowadays for overcomplicated platforms, I think a big reason people don't actually consider many services today. Having a feature rich platform is one thing, but ensuring that all the pre-marketing discussions and flaunting of said product is accurate relevant to the actual platform, is vital.

Such a big thing you see nowadays with any "cryptocurrency" related start up, always quick to jump to the generic "We are the best, We are the fastest, we are the this and that" but you need to ask yourselves that, and do research versus other's before you"

Anyway let me know about involvement or invite, other than that, looks professional, engaging and is a good start, best of luck.

Re: does location affects mining performance?

The more Bitcoin nodes to which your own node is connected, the quicker you will receive transactions and block notifications.  Further, the better connected you are, the less likely chance you have of any blocks you find becoming orphaned.

Power to run a pool... that's actually pretty minimal.  Got a spare server around?

Estimating performance of total power is pretty vague.  It depends on how much of that power you use, and what hardware you have.  For example, let's say you truly can use that entire GigaWatt for nothing but mining gear.  If you used Antminer S5+, you could have ... let's see... just under 300,000 of them?  (A billion watts available, each S5+ takes 3436 Watts...).  I'm sure you don't have that kind of power at your disposal... but just for fun, that would mean 7.7 * 291,036 = 2,240,978 TH/s = 2.24 EH... or roughly 5 times the hashing power of the entire network.  Following this through, you'd expect to make 20,770BTC a day in the current environment.  Of course, you wouldn't really make that for long because with that kind of mining power you'd expect to find a block every 103 seconds or so... so about 830 blocks a day.  You might make that for 2 days, then the difficulty would adjust.

Ok... enough speculation about a scenario that is exceedingly unlikely to occur Wink

Thoroughly enjoyed that imaginative piece there hehe, thank you sir!

But yes, enough of dreamy dream land, back to the real world, answer remains the same, yes it's possible, no its to much time and effort and funding, there are many parameters.

 Maybe this has been answered before, as i try to educate my self more about aspects of BTC would like to ask
 if you don't take into consideration different cost of electricity in different places,
how does location affects the performance??

Many thanks!



Many aspects affect your overall mining experience, some quick items:

- Geographic Location
- Humidity
- Seasons and Temperature
- Cooling
- Quality of Hardware
- Power Cost
- Efficient Power utilization
- Smart Monitoring
- "Green" power possibilities

- Power availability - For example where I am, we have "load shedding" meaning that specific suburbs are grouped together during a week, and will be cut from power for 2-3 hours more than once a week to ensure that the national power grid can not fall over, mostly due to bad management/oversight on power consumption and requirements, the point is with mining especially now, you cannot even consider 30min of downtime since you worked out and calculated exactly how u would profit, it didn't include power outages, if you dont have power, you don't have miners, you don't have btc, you lose.

Honestly, if you had hashed the idea of jumping into a mining project, I guess from the onset there is enough out there to tell you, it will not come cheap, it will not only require x2 R9's to profit like a boss, it will not require a single power plug into a normal wall socket thats "not" UPS capable etc..

Mining has scaled sporadically but with haste, to a degree that, yes there is still potential, yes to many things, but you need to research really perfectly, in order to weigh the pro's/cons and make the decision, I think's its largely more "impossible" nowadays than it was before, and that's not showing signs of improving, most likely wont since it's a saturated market at this stage.

What do we think about the new MS Browser "Edge"
by
cryptozulu
on 22/08/2015, 14:45:10 UTC
Thoughts?

Of course many/most people have long since moved into the Firefox/Chrome space or call it away from IE, but with Windows 10 and now the Edge browser, I have to say, I am actually enjoying the sleek look/smooth response and overall "clean" experience. there are issues/bugs to iron out sure, but this has potential at least from my perspective.

Ohh, if you are on Win 10 and experience horrible stutter/delay/poor quality on any Video content i.e youtube/twitch etc... It comes down to audio drivers or your sound card/onboard, many complaints already, especially from ASUS XONAR range owners, no fix yet, but all are aware there is an issue, this of course has a much worse effect on the Edge browser, less on a chrome/firefox but nonetheless they are all affected.

Some suggestions are, a more generic OS driver, change sample rates of your audio/sound to the lowest (44mhz) etc..

Wish sometimes there could be room for lower ranked forum accounts to participate, especially if they really want to partake, and they have similar level of "understanding" or "maturity" and can actually contribute equally as much good posts as any other, but I guess one needs to put in the work, be active, then reap the rewards.

Anyway, just my 2c, best of luck with campaign, looks nice!

It takes only 4 months to become a Full Member. In addition if some Member can contribute effectively, PM me and I may make some arrangement.
The Full Member and above condition partly also acts as a screening process.

Cool, I will drop you a note, with regards to involvement I'm all for it.

Yeah, procrastination is a bad habit, instead of talking about how one could get involved and want to equally partake, you need to put in the work, and by the time the "crying" is over, you could have knocked out your posts and been on the level you are required to, just like the other guys who put in the time, period. Anyway, enough off topic from me, carry on.

Local btc arb market oppurtunity, need 0.5 btc loan to kickstart
by
cryptozulu
on 21/08/2015, 12:02:28 UTC
Hi there,

As the subject states, from time to time, our local btc trading exchanges are running substantially higher than the actual market price for BTC, and as it stands now as a rough example, the selling rate is $264 in some areas versus the markets call it $234

I have done this numerous times before, but it doesn't last long and the level is balanced pretty quickly

From collateral perspective - I have 4+ domains registered to me I would hand over, I have a real strong local BTC presence and largely cannot consider hurting my rep at all, my signature in my account tells some of the story.

Yes I don't post regularly and I am not that active on the forums, time doesn't allow, if you want to rank the account etc...

I am fully employed permanently and payday is next week Tuesday, so worst case is I purchase the BTC with my salary incoming and repay

I would like to discuss terms further with whom ever steps forward, however privately.

Cheers.

spelling in subject wrong, apologies haha...

SAWUBONA cryptozulu!!

How's the general attitude towards bitcoin in SA? How's it like working with the banks, and what does the government say?

How's the community, are many involved?

I am sure many would appreciate it if you wrote a small article on bitcoin's status in SA and Africa in general from an insiders point of view. You might even get paid for it if you contacted one of the major bitcoin newspapers online.

A couple of examples:
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/
http://www.coindesk.com/


Hi there, the short version on the btc movement here:

Its on the upraise this is definite, getting strong and recently farily doubling in adoption, Much potential here for great services for mobile/payment platforms, mostly low-middle class income individuals. People forget that the USD based price for the US citizen might not be a "heavy expense" in general, however you convert that USD value to our Rand (ZAR) value, then well you are looking at money that people cannot simply for out as they please, its substantial and critical to their monthly survival and savings. If you can cater for the low to middle income class, more of a "millibits" theory, well then get ready for fantastic business and adoption.

here in SA, the average guy has heard the word, the term, knows nothing of Satoshi at all, and know its a digital currency, has no idea why or how or for what they would want to use it, education is key.

Well, if you look closely at my signature you will find I am the owner and head of Cointelegraph South Africa (Franchise) and have been building it piece by piece, stories are scarce and so are interested parties, but that is rising
