Bitcoins!

Your right, its definitely not worth it.

Ive switched to what i think is pooled, and getting "paid" for every hash.

The one that takes over 10%? It eliminates most of bitcoin's risk at a pretty big fee IMO, but still is interesting
 
I FINALLY GOT ANOTHER BLOCK after 12 days of mining overclocked, when my "Average" should have been 7 days

Difficulty is rising in a few day apparently

Difficulty almost doubled then. I am guess that people will be mining less, as electricity cost will be too high to still make a profit. However, I bet lots of those guys will keep going, as they think the value of the currency is going to increase. As if.
 
Short term it will continue it's decline to 0.8$, perhaps even to 0.5$ is we aren't lucky, but later on it will easily get back to parity and around the 1.1$ or so

I don't think it will decline that much. Maybe $.10, TOPS, if that.
 
It did a quick decline in MINUTES from 0.9$ to 0.81$, then the past 24 hours have been hectic, now it is around the 0.84$~0.86$ mark

Unless it goes back near parity, it will decline again

I had no idea! I guess I was pretty correct about the decline then, but I did not think it would happen on this scale.
 
I've been following the economics and I realized quite fast that there would be a decline soon, followed by a big comeback, OR a small but still substantial rise and then a bit of stability before the decline and comeback

EDIT: Difficulty increase is estimated in 440 blocks, at 112896 and be a 37% increase

Oh god not again. :banghead:
 
I don't have my 6870 anymore so no more mining for me : [
 
as of now I made about 3~4$ every 1$ I spent on electricity (I pay about 10cents the KWh), and I mined UNDER average

It takes/keeps exactly 10% apparently. Its quite a good service with instant payout etc
 
Any updates here?
 
Difficulty is planned to be DECREASED... yes DECREASED!!!! About 10~15% decrease

unfortunately BTC value is still low, and I foolishly bought some near 0.86$ per BTC.... Mining is till profitable for 99% of al North Americans... as for people paying 0.30$+ per KWH, I believe you break even or even lose $$

Glad to hear about the decrease :)
 
Prices are going down :(

I was sure they were going to stay around the 0.85$+ mark and that at some point after the dificulty decrease it would at least go to 0.90$+ thats why I bought some at ~0.86$ (80BTC worth) hoping to make a few bucks... Hopefully I am correct to assume a price increase in 3~4 weeks time. Wish I had more Paypal $$ to buy more at <0.70$, because whatever happens now, I know that in the long term the price will go back up

nooooooooo :(
 
Another dip, it seems that BTC price may stay at <0.75$...

It is now stabilizing slightly under what it was before the dips, thankfully, but idk where it will go next

The difficulty decrease is projected at 66665, a 14% decrease, and it keeps on going lower!

Can somebody POST 1 bit of proof this isn't just a scam....
 
Can somebody POST 1 bit of proof this isn't just a scam....

people have been getting paid. also, dozens of real vendors are accepting it as currency. we have been over this a hundred times. bitcoins is not a scam. it may not work long term (we will see) but some people are hoping it does. just like anything else in this life when you really think about it.

Well as Rhino said, people have already been paid.

But instead of us doing the work to prove it's legit, why not find 1 single report of it being a scam.

Should be easy if it's a scam right?



by the by, pay day soon! new 6870 so will be mining again, might be able to RMA my other card as well using ram/moset cooling plate /shroud from my new card : ] ( wasn't the modded ram/mosfet plate that caused card death so fair game I say!)

So dual 6870s mining soon. YEAH! both at 1ghz core aswell I'd wadger ;(
