Beginning of the end?  I used to sell bitcoins for $7.  I thought $75-$100 was crazy!  this happens every year.  Coins start to pickup after summer.

Thanks to the guys that were posting near Christmas.  I mined this coin at the very beginning. Sold some when nobody could find out who was mining the coin.   Every 15 days I would open the wallet so it could stake.  However, in December I decided to sell everything.  I already lived through one huge ponzi with Paycoin.   that's were I learned my lesson.  Hopefully all the new people will learn from this.  even if you have to take some time away from cryto.  I took a year off after Paycoin.

AGM, do you have another graph? A couple pages ago you were sure posting the maketcap graphs left and right.  Not doing that anymore?    

King of what?  King of high fees?  I forgot Bitcoin was created only for the rich.  It's not for the people that have a little bitcoin and what to buy a game or pc component. 

To me it just looks like the BTC rich are satisfied with the money they made this holiday season.  It will be up again next November.

Do you know how I can try to repair if the original wallet.dat won't load up.  every time I put it in the folder and try to restart it says wallet is corrupt, salvage failed.

thanks for any info.

Hi, I just bought some coins.  Then I sent them to my local wallet.  When I tried to encrypt the wallet it crashed.  I still have my first wallet.dat, but my coins aren't showing up.  How do I retrieve that first wallet address?

Just remember.  People with huge amounts of Bitcoin (whales and super whales) don't make money with a steady increase.  it's like they need big drops......wait 

anyone remember when bitcoin was $12?  and people think a drop to $4000 is low.

That's what happens when GREEDY, RICH, Corporations hog all the hash.   Don't think for one minute their mining for the greater good of Bitcoin and it's adoption.

Let's see,  the rich own fiat and now Bitcoin...what's not to love?  Do you think the pioneers wanted this for Bitcoin in the beginning?

I've been mining around 11 months.   But I have to move to something else.  When the greedy farms move in and hog all hash, it's eliminates all the small home miners.  God, I miss the days before greed and roi took over.

  

wow, a lot of greedy farms showing up at the pools.  again. I know they showed up a couple days ago and then left.  price/profit not enough for you to stay with 1 coin?

yep, these huge farms hogging the coin make me sick.  where were these huge , greedy miners a year or six months ago?  hey anonymous on suprnova take your 5,845,310 KH/s somewhere else.  What the coin you were mining not making you enough money.   sorry just had to say it.  

You have to love when these greedy fucks ruin it for everyone.   Gone are the days of a community run coin , now it's just greedy farm corps/people.

that was fun!  top 10 on BG.  thanks again for coins  JAWS

why dump the coin and  kill the momentum?  Great name, great price.....then dump the coin.   

Wow that's a shame that Luna was a scam.  I remember watching a chat box on an exchange thinking it might.  I also cashed out of that exchange...just to scummy for my taste.  

anyways, that site that Luna had was interesting.  Hopefully the coin can make a comeback!

yep I just had to go with my gut.  I've mined and staked this coin and happy with the profit I've made.  However, when someone stakes 30000 coins and 90% of mining is private I had to sell all my coins.  something didn't feel right at the time of the dump.  so I sold right after the massive dump and glad I did.  I kept just a small amount for staking.  but what's the point of staking when you have HUGE wallets doing the same. 

I'm fine with a coin surging and continuing to grow.  I just don't like the idea of huge backroom hashing power mining 95% of all coins.  wouldn't the creator of this coin want it in as many hands as possible.  not just 6-10 people.  

scorpio18,  I was talking about your pool.   Publicly your pool has the most hashing power.  I couldn't believe it could go hours without finding a block.  That's why I checked the explorer.  Unreal how much other "private" hashing power there is.

I've been mining bcc off and on for a couple months.  It's difficult to mine when you have huge farms just hogging every last coin.  I do have a question though.  The pool I mine at (I think) has the most hashing power.  It's going a long time without finding a block.  So I checked out the explorer.  Can someone explain block 69033.  Is that right?  30000 bcc?  How is that possible?  Stake?  Or is that a payment?

if the public pools blocks are visible, does that mean there are huge private pools mining this coin?

Good luck VT!

I know Bitcoin has changed.  Unfortunately,  I feel for the worse.  I don't think the pioneers created bitcoin just for the rich and wealthy.  that's what fiat is for!  

As -ck said at one time Bitcoin was $3.  I was an avid overclocker back in 2010-11, so I would reformat my hard drives for running benchmarks.  at that time I had multiple 5870 cards.  2 for me 2 for my son.  I had 2 more 5870 just for hardware reviews for websites.  I remember reformatting a drive with at least 30-35 (maybe more) bitcoins.  Why?  It was different back then....they were $3-$5.  Do you have any idea how sick I've been since Nov 13?  That's why I pull for the little guys.  No offense to the big farms out there.

I only posted when I thought the (little guy) had hit a block.  Not knowing they hit multiples.  Let's see be happy for someone hitting their first....or a corp like Bitm...  


oh here's another one I found looking for old wallets.  

1Nxa1eP1PtcSYLs1reYmLxoqZWkVTC8BRd

a nice $3700+ just sitting there forever.  

Let's see....


I...Me  that's what I would do.   Not only would it make me feel great, I know I would be breaking the mold of the greedy fucks that have taken over Bitcoin.  They do nothing for the community except line their own pockets.  You would think that the SOLO mining community would have more compassion, because we are probably 75% home hobby miners.

edit sorry -ck didn't want to derail your thread.  hopefully someone with a soul finds a block soon!!!!

what do you mean? why would he?  If I hit one you better be damn sure I would share. I would find a family man with kids and bills..    what's the point of basically winning $13,000 then?  (don't worry I was mining when bitcoins were $3 a piece..I look at bitcoins a little bit different)

are you guys telling me that out of 230 blocks NOBODY has ever shared any of them?  and people don't understand what's wrong with our society.
