It's completely random and based on the pools hashrate.  Right now I think BTCGuild has about 16-18% of the total hashrate. That means every block we have a 16-18% change to get. If we don't get the current block then the next block starts and we have a 16-18% chance to get that one.  That being said, we could go on a run of 4-5 blocks in a row if we were really lucky (akin to flipping a bunch of heads in a row since we should only be getting one of those blocks).  Or we could go 20-30 blocks without getting one if we were really unlucky.  In the long run in all averages out.

thats pretty good!  think it would be worth it to stay since pool should should normalize and BTC has been running low the past week or two so should get above 100% for a while?

24 horu retunrs just got  abit better at 0.018 BTC

What kind of 24 hour returns is everyone getting right now?  I just set up my S1, overclocked to a frequency of 393, holding steady at 200GH/s and error rate around 0.5%.  The past 24 hours I have mined about 0.01 bitcoin which is about half of what I would expect.  Could it be just a bad run in the pool? Currently at BTCGuild PPLNS.  Any thoughts?  Perhaps I should wait for a full week and see what I get!

All,

Is there a way to view only my spendable balance in the blockchain wallet app for android?  I have a bunch of my paper wallets loaded as watch only addresses, but I can't distinguish from the bitcoin that are associated with any of the blockchain addresses.  Is there an easy way without having to remember the total balance of my paper wallets and subtract that from the total?  Thanks!

lol...yeah

I am not talking about the premine.  I even said I am not so sure how I feel about it and the IPO in general.  There are no current relations with GS as far as anybody knows. An ethereum dev, previously worked for them. So what, that does not imply in any way that they are backed by or have relations with GS.  I bet GS has no clue what ethereum even is, let alone have relations with them LOL.  You guys are so far down the rabbit hole you can't even see objectively

You guys are funny.  Like I said, I am in no way affiliated with Ethereum.  I only got into bitcoin last September, even.  I am not a programmer or have a career in computer science in any way.  I am simply pointing out facts.  You can believe in conspiracies or spread misinformation all you want, but it won't change the facts.

I has to write this because I keep seeing this pop up and people don't care to fact check and just keep spreading false information.

I have nothing to do with Ethereum. In fact I am still up in the air about whether I would invest given the current IPO scheme. I do however hate to see people spreading lies and misinformation.

Ethereum is not in any way 'backed' by Goldman Sachs.  They have some people on the team that PREVIOUSLY worked for them, but that's it. This is an asset in my mind, since sooner or later some of these big banks will be gunning for cryptocurrencies and it's a benefit to know how they operate internally.

Fred Ersham, the co-founder of Coinbase also previously worked for GS.  I don't hear anything about Coinbase, probably the most promising startup in the Bitcoin space, being backed by GS.

You're the one spreading lies man.  GS is not 'backing' Ethereum.  Ethereum has some people that used to work for GS, but that's it.

Just like Coinbase co-founder Fred Ersham used to work for GS. Is Coinbase backed by GS as well? Get real dude.

You're right, it is pretty stupid.  It was my first transaction with bitcoin, that wasn't an obviously real company (I've bought stuff through legit companies before). I definitely wouldn't have done it without escrow if it was a large sum of money.  I can deal with losing $50, but it's just annoying getting ripped off by scumbag scammers.

Anybody receive their refund yet?  Still waiting here....

Guess the guys name is Chris Sweeting?

Interesting.  Well I guess we will see in 10 days?? Seems weird, why not just issue the refunds now.

Hopefully someone can come up with a product like this.  I've seen some wood etched ones, but not really any credit card sized aluminum or steel

You're right, I feel like they could make a lot more money by having a real product.  It's a shame too if it turns out to be fake, since the product looks pretty cool and I was excited to get them and hand them out to people.  I guess time will tell... coming up on 2 weeks with no word.

Lol. 


Day 12... still not a word

They initially were selling them 10 for $100 but then changed to 5 for $50.  Seems like such a small amount for a scam but I guess if they had 100 orders you never know.  Also it is Christmas time, but why hasn't anyone received even a reply in over 10 days?

Hope they are just a bit behind. I was looking forward to giving these out as gifts to a couple friends who have shown interest in bitcoin

I'm waiting to hear back as well.  Ordered on the 18th, sent support ticket on the 22/23rd.... nothing.

Hello,

I ordered some wallets on the 18th and sent a support ticket 5 days ago with a question, but haven't heard back yet. I was just wondering how long until after the order that we should expect the cards to be created and delivered? 
Thank you

Bitcoin get had some pretty good deals every once anda while I've noticed.  For example 300ubits for a 60 second so while the price was in the 200 dollar range.  Haven't looked in a while though.  Gotta be careful about having to many small transactions as well.  It will really increase the mines fees when spending. I just create a wallet just for faucets whenever I'm bored and visiting any.
