Thanks

Data has seemed to stop on July 15th for my bitstamp account.

Graph is frozen and hourly price listings says "Loading Data"

Cleared browser cache(chrome), start/stop browser, restart.  Rest of reconfig of API key.  So joy found yet on version 3.0.6.

Any ideas?

Don't know what your candlesticks tell you but mine can't make up their mind... the price is everywhere!

+1...

Do what you can to change the law... but follow the law while doing it.

omg really?  really?

How does someone having piles of cash in their house have ANYTHING to do with paying taxes as it is written in the current law?  I didn't know healthcare made us bitcoiners pay taxes...  Do our BTC miners run lab test results or something I didn't know about?  oh I know they actually calculate the tax each us US citizen is supposed to pay if there isn't a drug lord with a ton of money in his house... makes sense!  Wait I am actually confused.

So let me get this straight... the US Government should get the power to take tax money?  ummm they already do, you are complaining about it right now.

Another thing I love, apparently the government wastes money on stuff you personally do not agree with or like... well we all know every other US Citizen agrees with you.  I mean who wouldn't want Al Pacino to "say hello" to your medical bill?  I do it makes so much sense!  Give more money to the DEA to seize dollars from someone in a different country who got it because its makes more sense to get it that way then to just make it legal and collect taxes on the sales.  

This way is better cause no taxes are involved just drug cartels.

 

ha ha ha...  Sorry you are a joke.

Punchline #1:  comparing things to Nazi, Hitler, killing Jews... especially when it comes to arguing against "paying taxes".

Punchline #2:  Did you even read the title of that youtube video?  Give you a hint is wasn't Hillary Clinton...

Go bad to the kids table, come back when you can at a least read a youtube video title.

In the same way as my 100% margin of error is inaccurate 0% of the time.

Sorry but it is true.  Though you are right too, the market DOES move leaps and bounds on news...  when it is reported, not when it takes effect.  Byron was saying basically the same thing, the market moves on news/rumor, not WHEN the news/rumors subject is supposed to actually happen.

Thus people knew China was going to mess with exchange banks and new rules would take effect on the 15th.  The market priced this in before the deadline because everyone knew it was coming and everyone wanted to take advantage before others... which all happened BEFORE the 15th.

Minning rig companies... always sell at a price when there is a profit "at current rates"...  Sadly in many cases these profits are calculated for "now" when the item is in pre-order... gets delays 18 gagillion times and boom no so much profit any more.  Some say the companies mine themselves, I think companies just have poor project/time management for a product that is SOOOO time dependent.

Usually that profit is much much lower then their own, they easily squeeze about 80-90% of potential profits out of the miner just by how they price it.  A good example is the Antminer S1...  They have been lowering the price each week due to price/difficulty changes.  Sure they might hit a profit/loss floor but the margins have been pretty good for them up until now.

The only rigs being turned off are older rigs where the price + difficulty was getting close to retirement anyways, the price change just made it earlier.   If you bought a rig yesterday, you are running it for a loss to get as many BTC out of it in hopes value goes up to save the day or at least SOME of your money.

What you wrote makes my brain hurt.

Rising BTC prices hedge risk and improve profits when investing in mining hardware.  It DOESN'T factor at all in if you are making/losing BTC directly by mining.

Your comments make NO sense.

"Investing" in mining hardware with FIAT or BTC is exactly the same thing except for any fee difference  in the transaction with one or the other.  If anyone says different they are fooling themselves.

If I have a $1000 today... I can buy BTC or I can buy a mining rig (whether that is in USD or BTC only matters in fees).  A mining rig is technically only profitable if it mines more BTC then its purchase price (in BTC) was.  Sure rising prices can mitigate the risk of mining by allowing a USD profit... but that profit would still be lower then if you just bought BTC thus just a hedge against loss.

People make BTC profit from mining all the time... if they didn't there wouldn't be pentahashes added almost daily.   Yes right now ASICs and business's are squeezing most profits out of mining but it does occur.


To the OP:  Hash probably lags price a bit since it is reactionary and takes time to order/setup mining rigs etc (and to take them down).  It also will be less and less of a factor as mined BTC become less and less a % of available coin.

Your opinion is just as strong and based on a lot of your comments the exact same thing (just opposite).

Money is coming from me...

I bought 2 coins... to the moon (or the qwiki mart next door) lol

All I had to read was the Abstract where they gave multitude of reasons why their TA subjects had less returns.  Any one or more of those reasons could be the lion share of losses.   If TA was 100%, everyone would use it and it wouldn't work.  It may give insite and a bit of leverage like say counting cards but it doesn't predict the future.  You still need to have a diverse investment portfolio etc.

"Overall, our results indicate that individual investors who report using technical analysis are disproportionately prone to have speculation on short-term stock-market developments as their primary investment objective, hold more concentrated portfolios which they turn over at a higher rate, are less inclined to bet on reversals, choose risk exposures featuring a higher ratio of nonsystematic risk to total risk, engage in more options trading, and earn lower returns."

I am with you Info... BTC is great and all but it isn't the be-all end all for using to make purchases.

People want believe that BTC is "great" for merchant due to no charge backs etc... but these same features make it difficult for consumers to use AND it makes theft/scams even easier.  What will happen is the credit card companies (or something similar) will start to process and insure BTC transactions so they can be instantaneous just like CC purchases.  Guess what will happen?  Similar fees just like CC transaction will be charged, hopefully a bit less though.

Good for large purchases?  Yeah I can see that, faster and less expensive then wire transfers, mailing a check... a check?... no one uses those but that is basically what a BTC is, just a bit faster and with the times.

To those that think using BTC will "save them time" shopping online and relieving the difficult job of remembering accounts... is honestly just silly.  I have made purchases at sites where you don't have to create an account and guess what... the only extra info you need to give them is a password.  They have to collect all the info anyways, like where to ship, email for updates notifications etc.  I suppose if you were purchase digital or non-deliverable items it could save typing your name and address (oh the horror).

As I said what will happen with BTC and normal buying is the same thing that is happening with CC/banks, people will have apps on their phone and will scan codes/bump etc to transfer funds.  It will be cheaper until either the Feds get to regulating or the big corps come in like the CC companies and decide they should charge the same they always have.

There will always be new bitcoins even if just one person is running their USB miner...  Well they do have to sell them...

Dunno bout difficult raising violently, for that to happen highly powerful and efficient miners will have to come out.  There are a lot of pre-orders waiting and the china dragon 1TH miner available now but these aren't revolutionary and won't be as effective as the first wave or 2 asis which caused the massive diff jumps.   Most miners are now mining at a loss due to btc price, though I suspect the price isn't so low to turn off miners, but they will be more likely to hold if they can.

fyi you might want to call your "cloud" service a co-location or miner hosting service.

Right now "cloud mining" services are generally known more as hash rental/contacts paid per GH/s or TH/s etc over time.

Where as what you describe is more a co-location/hosting service because the hardware is bought and owned with hosting fees attached.

imo no not at this time.

"Cloud" hashing or hash rental is pretty new in the market.  The only real reputable business doing it professionally is Cex.io (Ghash) and their price per GH/s is ~$6.6.  Which is insanely high.

Go calculate returns on any miner cals based on that cost per GH/s.

Right now people are saying $3-4 per GH/s is about the limit to make money with direct hardware mining.  With cloud hashing you don't have to worry about electricity, storage, cooling but is that worth paying 100% more for... no your ROI will be non-existent.

Other companies selling for less like pbmining.com are new and in many cases so far not transparent enough.  They seem to be paying out now but could be a ponzi where they pay you back slowly what you put in hopping to get a bigger pool of btc then close/disappear.   Even at hardware mining costs, the returns imo are not worth the investment or risk/gamble that these companies are legit... Maybe once a number of services proves themselves or provide more transparency (like farm data, company data).

Mining profits are pretty slim right now, the miner manufacturer's hold most the cards so they are already milking 80%+ of the revenue out of every device sold.  When happens when you put more men in the chain, each person gets their cut and as always its more then you think it should be:).     

1. High rate of return - Tick for PBMining

pbmining doesn't meet your #1 point... high rate of return imo would be prices lower then buying a miner yourself and/or higher payouts per GH/s neither which are true.   $5 per gh/s isn't a deal really and what I would probably expect from a reseller/host type business.

For the rest no comment because I have no direction knowledge.  Could very well be a ponzi...


$5 per gh/s imo does not offer the returns worthy of investment, not nearly worth the risk with a new company which has not been 100% transparent.

I suspect I have a similar issue...

I go into wifi, scan and add my network pass etc... it connects great, can access the UI via the wireless address.

The second I unplug the wired connection I cannot access UI  (on either address) and sometimes it beeps at me.  I reboot and nothing generally, except on the wireless wifi I can get the initial black LUCI screen then bam unavailable.

I even tried attaching the wwan and lan interfaces to bridge them but no go.

I sent in a request for access to ghash.io...

As for the Dashboard... personally I think it is awesome... Has great info... btc price on all the different exchanges, expected earnings, great.


The only request which seems a bit out of what you are currently working on (pool support)... would be a good miner calculator.   There are a lot out there but most are missing one feature or another.

http://www.vnbitcoin.org/bitcoincalculator.php  - Preorder options don't seem to work, only shows details for upto ROI not profit and eventual time of loss.

http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/ - Pretty good but difficulty is per month instead of every 2 weeks.  Also doesn't show BTC earnings both daily and cumulative.


The features that come up for a good calc for me are:

- Adjustable fields : Miner Cost, Elect Cost (kWh), Pool cost (%), Difficulty increase (% bi-weekly), Miner Pwr Consumption (watts), Pre-order date, BTC price, # of days
- Results fields: BTC per day, $ per day, cumulative BTC, cumulative $, Different colors/indicators for ROI, Profit and Loss,  Power cost per day, cumulative power cost, dates/ranges I would guess per difficulty window.
