Yes you're right, but the only exchange I have KYC on is Coinbase, who doesn't trade FIO, and all of the swap sites seem to have a minimum of about 4300.

It's not a big deal, but I'll send first, and I could also take DOGE or other major coins.

Looking to exchange 1800 FIO for BTC.  Please post or PM your offer.

Actually, that number is equal to 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 hex.  It's not exactly random.  I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's very fishy.

Got it - thanks!

Yep, that works.

Sent!

I just saw that.  Personally I don't care, but if I was at work with the volume up, it wouldn't have been nice.

April Fools, I guess?

He probably meant "this shows, again, that PD is a fair site".     

As long as the app is already installed, you should be fine.  Or, whenever you're able to reinstall it you can restore your backup.  Personally, I don't trust any single wallet.  I generate a private key using MultiBit, save it on a flash drive or paper, and import it into Mycelium.  That way I have access to the same wallet on my PC and my phone.  You just need to make extra sure that your PC is clean. 

I don't think they're running any miners anymore.  They haven't made any contract payments in 2 weeks, and that's after promising weekly payouts from their pool mining.  

All contracts will be gone in 45 days, either by buyout or cancellation, unless someone wants to pay maintenance fees out of pocket.

Yep, breach of contract in shutting down the miners.  Go after Emmanuel Abiodun personally.  

The doors are closing soon.  I just received notice that they're planning to charge $0.15/GH per month in management fees, which is considerably more than expected earnings, even if they were still hashing, which they're obviously not.  As an alternative, they're offering to buy my contracts for $0.18/GH, which is pitiful, but better than zero.

Lol.  Do unto others...

Even if SHA256 was crackable, the program would need to know the nonce value (Bets Made With Pair).

Yeah, if anyone has 800 BTC and they feel like gambling it, just give me the 800, I'll pay you 400 in return, and we can both leave with good money in our pockets. 

Thank you PD for the 1 BTC of profit.  I tried really hard to make more than that, but I give up.  Maybe I'll play the faucet next week if get bored. 

The easiest answer is that they shut down the rest of the miners to save money, or to sell them.  I imagine that some of that hash power belonged to customers, unless those customers have managed a refund or something.  Otherwise they probably could have used the spare hashes to provide RRP when it was originally due 3 months ago.

My payment today was 30% less than what I expected.  I assume that they would divvy up the block payment based on today's hash rates, not the average hash rate over the last 6 days, which would be more difficult to calculate.

True.  Everyone talks about how Bitcoin has no merchant fees, but they have to pay to convert BTC to fiat, pay for development costs or integration with a payment processor, and worry about the exchange rate.  With credit cards, fees and chargebacks are known and built into the cost of doing business.  With BTC, they're not as well known.

The advantage for Bitcoin is not retail sales.  It's person-to-person payments, long distance payments, micro or mass payments, and high risk businesses where credit card fraud is a big problem.

At the 50% level, the chance of losing 10 times in a row is 0.5^10, which is 0.098%, or 1/1024.  But that's just an average.  It could happen at any time, or even multiple times.  Also remember that whether you're betting manually or automatically, you can rack up 1024 rolls more quickly than you might think.

No blocks mined in 5 days?  Even with the 1.72 PH that's left, we should be averaging 1 block per 28 hours.  I need another contract payment so I can tell if it's the right amount or if part of it is being stolen to pay someone else.

Yep, RRP has been discontinued, and today their hash power has dropped from 3600 TH to 35 TH.  My funds for the current RRP round are queued to be sent back to me.  They have 877 BTC on their mining address, and I hope they'll do the right thing and distribute all of it to their customers.  

Edit: Back up to 2340 TH now.
