We are currently coming up with designs and doing research into making the best portable vaporizer on the market.  I am working with a close  engineering friend of mine to develop this and we are quite confident we can pull this off.  That being said, we are hoping to delve more seriously into this project in a few months after all our milestones with vapetropolis are complete.

Understandable.

My followup questions - why do you need the money?

The thing that interests me the most is this:

4.   Possible development of new portable vaporizer.

Can you elaborate more on this? Or is this more of a pie in the sky kind of thing?

I guess another good questions here - why do you need the money?

Looks like you're offering a dedicated Primecoin mining VPS service denominated in BTC. Very interesting, also a good way to hedge yourself on either coin as well.

You've got my support, I might try one of your lower/midrange end rigs myself. (I've got about 25k PPS running at home.. maybe time to switch, it's getting mighty warm in my basement LOL).

Re: price over the next month

I believe the difficulty has more of an effect on prices than most people realize. The majority of coins that trade on a daily basis come from miners cashing in, and that is pretty much the source of what little liquidity we have. While it is true that increased difficulty will not change the amount of coins found on a daily basis, it will shrink the amount found by the majority of miners, especially those using low-hash gear. Few people will cash in with 0.00004453 coins due to exchange fees. They will stack the coins until they have a larger sum to exchange, effectively draining liquidity.

I expect a slow but steady increase, lagging the difficulty spikes by a week or two.

Personally I think you have the speculators to thank for liquidity. I tend to keep what little mining profits I generate, and I know a lot of people that do the same. Of course the large miners who sell their BTC do help, but people with 50k+ USD trading on Mt.Gox grease the markets up far more.

Edit: The average bottom price seems to be rising by $20 every month or so. I think next month we'll see averages around 130-140. Only time will tell, though.

Re: If you could pick one "alt coin"...

I think it is good to diversify. Don't pick just one. The coins on your list seem like a good start to me, so why not mine all of them?

At some point it's not diversification anymore. With everyone dropping their own alt coin right now it's impossible to say what is actually a viable alt currency and what is just a pump and dump scam.

Personally, I think it could use some sort of material form. Like an actual bit stamp or certificate like they used to do with silver (Silver certificate aka silver dollar).

That exists already.

Re: Want to mine both scrypt and sha coins on same GPU. Is it possible?
by
kderaymond
on 06/05/2013, 17:17:18 UTC
If you are using the same GPU to mine both SHA and scrypt at the same time then the performance will be cut in half from the GPU. It will use half it's resources for one mining and the other half to the other type. You wont be able to get max numbers mining both at the same time only when mining one at a time. A nice alternative would be mining BTC on some pools that also mine NMC, you're mining two coins at the same time with no performance hits.
But how come folding only has a small effect on speed?

I'm not an expert on Folding@home, but I know mining uses stream processors. It's possible that folding uses a different part of your GPU to do it's work.

Any updates on this, kind of puts me off using exchanges. I am not really a trader, just a small time investor but it would be good if I can buy Bitcoins from there with ease and not have to worry.

Regards,

Martin.

You would need a yubikey or google authenticator.

This. It's not foolproof, but it will stop most from gaining access to your account. Two-factor is the way to go!

Re: 1 BTC = 2000 USD
by

I think that bitcoin is too unstable, and if this trend continues, it'll  never reach a value of even $1000 per coin.

Really agree.

I think that BTC don't will be strong stable never (or not in the nexts 5-10 years). But maybe we will see this price caused for the reduced number of bitcoins compared to population.

I also agree, just imagine how many people would sell their bitcoins when they hit $1000 or $500 even. People fear the instability and want to cash out and hedge their losses generally. The bitcoin would have to crush fiat to truly climb.

6 months ago people would have been saying the same thing about getting to 100 USD. But the people who sell have to be selling to somebody, so for every person who sold at 100 because they thought the price was going too high, there is somebody who bought at 100 because they think the price could go higher still and/or they think 100 is a good price.


It's interesting when you put it that way. It's a good thing to know someone has high hopes for the future of bitcoin.

Re: HOWTO: get up to 1 BTC for free

on 05/05/2013, 18:26:52 UTC
Are there any other ways to get some XRP for those (like me) whom didn't bother create a bitcointalk account before Feb 19th?
(Apart from purchasing them for BTC, I mean...  Wink  )

More giveaways are planned later in May when Ripple is going to be open to general public. The Bitcointalk giveaways just gives us a taste of the things to come. One of the main goals of OpenCoin is to distribute a considerable amount of XRP to general public, so I expect something like Facebook, Google+ and Twitter giveaways, XRP redeeming links sent to cell phones or something similar

The value will most likely plummet once Ripple starts opening it's coffers, but as of now it's still trading pretty well.

Re: Best coin to be mining?
by
kderaymond
on 04/05/2013, 22:01:50 UTC
So currently im mining at about 2KH/s and was wondering what would be the most profitable coin to be mining right now and im assuming it would be best to mine in a pool

LTC has the highest profitability at the moment for direct conversion into BTC, however 2KH/s isn't very much. You're probably spending more on electricity than you're mining, you'd be better off to just buy coins directly.

They're "different".  Also, easier to mine. I personally don't see the point, unless you're the guy who invents it, and secures the first million coins or so for yourself.
It's just greedy versions of Satoshi who don't actually invent anything.

I would agree with this as it relates to most alt coins, but some definitely have their uses. Alt coins will rise and fall, the market will decide what's useful and what's not.
