Re: Cloud mining ?

I may not have reached 100% ROI yet but I've gotten paid almost half of what I've put in so far on Hashflare.io And since they let me re-invest my earnings my hashrate keeps growing. And the SHA-256 and Scrypt contracts are lifetime as long as the hardware still earns.

I'm not going to say it's not a risk but I'm not going to make untrue statements and say there's no profit in it. You put work into it you'll get something out of it. 100% ROI takes patience.


To put it into perspective I've put $98 USD into my Hashflare.io account and let it reinvest to build up hashrate and I've earned 0.01778436 BTC back so far. That's $51.86 in the 3 months that I've been mining for. Again like I said, not 100% ROI yet but it's almost halfway there already. So take that however you will.

https://www.hashnest.com/ is legit since they are owned by bitmain (antpool) but i don't suggest trying cloud mining specially now because the difficulty is very high and the chance of you getting ROI is almost zero

That's bull. You'll make ROI but after you've invested enough in significant mining power. You're not going to get much with 1 or 2 TH/s but 10 TH/s or 100+ TH/s if you play your cards right can net you a good chunk in 24 hours.

Also the price on BTC going up "kind of" negates the difficulty. Again you have to know what you're doing to avoid Difficulty cutting into your daily earnings.

Cloud mining is not for "newbies".

Hashflare.io works but I wouldn't suggest going with them right now because there is a lot of heavy traffic on their site due to them opening up Polybius a couple of weeks ago and it's causing the site to "502 Bad Gateway" a lot. Also the price of Bitcoin going up is causing people to rush to their site to buy hashrate and that's not helping the traffic jam problem at all.

I've noticed that this sort of thing happens anytime Bitcoin touches $1000 on any of the exchanges. And then this sort of thing happens and the whole thing goes to shit and drops to below $1K prices. One or twice I would say it's a coinicedence but it's happened more than that now, about 5 times I think. I think it's more obvious now that the bankers want a war with us.

Part of me still wants to say it's a coincedence but part of me knows it's not.

I would do a 0.000001 auto cash out at any 42 pools now (Txfee is 0.00000001, which is only 1% of that).
So at least in the event of an successful attack, you won't be having more than that in the pool. But any time after the attack until it's get fixed your hash power is lost. That's the best you could do rather than going on a super pool with enhanced securities, which is just not available for 42 yet..

Some pools, like HashFaster's will not allow you to change the auto-payment threshold below 1.0 which is stupid IMHO because no one is going to be able to get 1.0 at this rate of diff increase.

Has there been any word on if anyone will get coins back from pooljunkie?

So cryptopools is down. Though I would explain the funnyness of it.

1.They come back up and push that they back on track and ready to go.
2. The stop payouts because of possible brute force attacks (this means noone can withdraw ANY coins)
3. Site goes down, obviously there efforts to stop the brute force failed miserably.
4. Whoever did get to hack them got the chance to steal every single coin mined because the pool STOPPED PAYOUTS.

So either the pool is extremely wealthy at this moment, or with there stopping of withdrawals, have made some hacker very wealthy.


Indeed they were compromised somehow, because when I logged in the Payment address I had was different than the one for my wallet, in fact it was two address that stole from my account there. They stole est. 0.00000502, however cryptopools managers were able to get me 0.00000402 of that back.

In fact it was I who called attention to the thefts. It was either call attention to it or continue letting some ass-hat steal peoples coins.

I have a feeling the multiple DDoS attacks on several of the pool ops are actually attempts to compromise the pools to get in and steal coins, change deposit addresses, etc. I would keep an eye on any mining accounts on any pools you have that are mining 42.

They probably do not have the chips or boards in yet. That's why they don't have pictures of them for you. They will probably post them once they get them in though. And I hope they post a video of one being built or at least tested.

If you're going to buy mining shares you'd be better off with CEX.io really. However you'd need to buy at least 8 BTC worth of hashing power to get anything. 0.02598462 BTC right now will buy you a little over 300MH/s so it's pretty spendy.

If you want to have some bitcoin, just buy some and sit on it, and only trade what you feel safe trading with.

Yeah mining isn't worth it, in fact all miners should just stop mining bitcoins because they'll never make enough to...oh wait we need miners to mine the bitcoins we buy otherwise the supply dries up eventually.

Yeah telling miners to stop mining bitcoin is going to be cutting off your long tail. Brilliant stratagy. Really.  Tongue

I don't think you can deposit NMC on CEX.IO. You can mine them and you can use them to get BTC or get GHS.

http://cex.io/informer-small/botolo/bd3144153e1a0f8e50a00af309758d58/

You absolutely can deposit NMC into CEX.io. You click Fund Account and there should be a NMC address there you can use to deposit NMC to. I just moved all of my NMC out of BTC-E to cex.io because I was getting better prices there.

It's too memory intensive. The best you can do is GPU mine it. Litecoin was built with ASIC resistance in mind. And looking back over the year it was probably for the best.

I think the real question is "Will bitcoin ever see $10,000?"

I think it's too uncertain given how easily speculators panic over 1 minute of lag on MtGox. It's like watching Squirrels play the stock market.

Everybody will have access to all of your transaction because the blockchain is open source to public

First they'll have to figure out which addresses are mine.

Then they'll have to figure out who owns the addresses that I send bitcoins to.

That won't be very easy to do.

You will need to be paid by your employer with your address , right? .Very easily done!

If your somebody who likes to collect firearms, an employer might be scared to hire you.

If your somebody who enjoys to drink alcohol , an employer might not like that.

Employers will know everything you buy , and start judging you, based on your life style

They can do that by tracing your Debit and CC usage too so what's your point?
