sorry to clutter but should I move off bitpay?
also I have a friend that keeps yapping about maidsafe coin.
I haven't heard anything about it until him, read a little, I don't see anything extraordinary. does anyone here own any or got any opinions.

I was going to move all of mine onto a trezor but all indications I am getting from sharps is it will be fine, but who fucking knows really
whats a fork?
I have a hedge set up to short BTC at 2500 with a SL at 2600 and a TP of 1500 (likely if it bombs it doesn't go that low but don't want to miss too much of the profit have a Trailing Stop setup).. Ironic the BCC token is trading damn near at $500 now which is a little surprising for something that many claim don't think is going to gain traction.. I don't think we see the full split ala ETH/ETC but makes me wonder..
The fork is real. Bitcoin Cash is here.

cute little tidbit:
95% of all ransomeware bitcoins end up getting cashed out through btc-e after laundering.
which speaks volumes to not just the nature of btc-e but to the effectiveness of laundering.
They are in the process of stiffing the world for the BCC. They sent out a fake email urging people to w/d their BTC if they wanted their share of the new BCC, but they aren't sending the new transfers to the blockchain, or they are doing it very very very very slowly. This insures that at some point there will be a ton of "pending" btc xfers out of Coinbase on Aug 1st that never get sent out.Quote:

Pretty awesome if they get away with it.
They did this before when ETH split, but they eventually gave everyone their share of the forked ETH coin. Not so sure this going to happen as we are talking about a boatload of fucking money if BCC keeps pre-trading at these levels and still * ALOT * of money if it goes to < $10.
Unbelievable what is happening. There is no reason it should take 12+ hours to send a transfer to the blockchain.
If BCC (Bitcoin Cash) goes to 0, then none of this matters but its going to be worth a lot right after the fork. Maybe they plan to instadump everyon'es BCC but we are talking about a lot of fucking money right now that no one is going to see.
bumping back a few of the more popular threads I buried to page 2.
Cryptocurrency miners are renting entire Boeing 747s just to stay in the game

In a mining boom, buy the shovels.
It's one of the oldest investing axioms, and anyone with shares in chipmakers AMD and Nvidia are reaping the rewards right now.
As the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum explodes, cryptocurrency miners are in a race to beat each other to the riches, and graphics processors are the tools they need.
They're now in such short supply, one miner, Marco Streng, chief executive of Genesis Mining, made this extraordinary admission to Quartz:
"We are renting entire airplanes, Boeing 747s, to ship on time. Anything else, like shipping by sea, loses so much opportunity."

Everything about this is wrong. Mining is over, everyone is dumping their rigs, and a massive adjustment is on the horizon for the chipmakers. But great job on adding a picture of a 747 for no reason at all because you're absolutely terrible at this.
In which countries? Ones without government subsidized electricity production? And with old, slower chips? Of course they would be. Because the Chinese competition is likely crushing them.Quote:

P.S. The pic of a 747 is from the article, genius.
mumbles youre a cancer on this community, you're literally a drooling retard in the back of the class who wont shut the fuck up, ever, and we all have to sit here and pretend its not happening but the truth is this:
we all wish you would find a new hobby.
every single person here, mumbles.
if he's in the back of the class, does that mean you're in the same class as him (special ed).Quote:

No one is buying new GPUs for BTC tho, it was all for eth, and those days are super, super over.
ETH is slightly more profitable to mine now than it was at the start of the year. 20x price vs 15x more mining. It wasn't that likely to see a huge price increase in the next 5 months back then, but now it's more or less impossible. I assume it doesn't really matter that much since nothing goes under the radar for long and changing from one coin to another is neither costly nor time consuming. Something like you aren't locked to a coin for months but you really don't want to be switching daily either.Quote:

i stand corrected, i had seen the difficulty skyrocket and everyone has been dumping their mining rigs but yeah, youre right. the breakeven point is gross and its all going to hell soon but still, point taken.
Of course they do. That way they wont be distracted by my obviously ignorant criticisms of your prescience regarding the demise of bitcoin. Like I starting making about two years ago.Quote:

It's profitable if you can do it big or steal something basically. Otherwise it's a hassle for a breakeven activity.

ok i actually wasnt as wrong as i thought here. i went to an old mining calculator link that actually had an 8 week old difficulty embedded in it, so when i refreshed and recalculated, profitability on a 130 MH/s rig (5 gpus) went from about $800 a month to about $120 a month.
so yeah fuck that, which is why the mining market has effectively died, ebay is flooded with cards, and the gpu salesfags are going to have to deal with mortal human sales again.
punch line being ethereum is still the most profitable coin to mine.
fucking wow.
Krypt - where you at? Bitcoin is up $1000 per coin since you pounded your chest calling everyone a fucking asshole. Nobody knows when the party will end, so stop trying. Everyone has been wrong, except Micon.

I tried to sign onto ACR to withdraw funds and got a message stating "due to blockchain changes - transactions are temporarily disabled." After a bit of research I learned that there is a secondary or spin off coin called BCC being rolled out and until this is complete, network transactions are paused. I vaguely recall seeing an email from Coinbase about this.
I'm layman's terms...wtf is BCC (I am VERY aware of what BBC is, BTW) and is it something I need to concern myself with or should I continue to just use BTC/ETH?
....here's what set me off this morning. Lunch time in one of the biggest rooms in the Midwest and not a single game going.
I am about as tilted as a poker player could possibly be on a Tuesday afternoon.....and if one if you motherfuckers either doesn't enlighten me soon or decides to give me anything other than an insightful and informative answer, I may be inclined to simply punt off my entire $5k balance. I hate waiting. For anything.

The 'Shoe in Hammond? another example of a once bustling poker economy now down the tubes. That room used to be FILLED every day. 2/5's going left and right. now? maybe there's two 2/5's going on any night and maybe 7 to 8 1/2's.
that's a 31 table room RIGHT OUTSIDE OF CHICAGO and it can barely get to capacity on a fucking friday or saturday.
Yeah. it's dead. we're playing a dead game. it sucks to think about, but that's the truth.
But hey, people still play GO, a several thousand year old chinese strategy game.
Go takes skill to win, so Im not sure how it ended up in a conversation about poker.
Which, btw, is pretty dead considering virtually all major flavors of it have been 'solved', and everyone who didnt solve it went broke, and the rest are just passing around the same dollar depending on who is running good.

NLHE killed poker if you ask me.
as for my connection to Go, it was simply to illustrate that even though a game is very old, we still play it. I know it takes skill to win Go, the same way it takes skill to win at chess. It takes skill to be a winning poker player, not to win at poker.
shut up, garrett.
Poker is far from dead. You just need to know where to find the games. There are plenty live and onlineQuote:

I left. Going back for night shift - into tomorrow morning. Wednesday is the big promo day....lots of bad regs and OMC retirees - willing to allow me to convince them that they should be folding the best hand - on promo days. Do you play at Jack?

What I really need to do (in lieu of bitching about my own room) is drive to Rivers or MGM Harbor, instead of neurotically checking Bravo and salivating when I see the games they are both running.
Speaking of which, has anyone heard from East Coast Scott recently? I lost track of after the beginning of WSOP. He's been very quiet.
