Is crypto currency mining a meme?

Will it have impact upon the global economic system?
>>
It's competition.
>>
>>129437695
It's a meme unless you want to take a loan to fund your own farm and risk the shitcoin ending up like every other shitcoin.
>>
>>129437695
Yes, no.
If you're the average person, you're going to actually lose money between the setup and electric bill compared to your gains. If you're a criminal who sets up a mining operation sayyyy out of the office you work at then you might be able to scrounge up some beer money. It's not a poorman's game unless you have a brilliant system.

Won't affect global economics. Maybe in the distant future outside of our lifetimes it will have a small effect. Literally cowboy territory for the foreseeable future.

>>129437695
I think it will never really replace Fiat currencies at least not for the next 20 years. Imagine if there were no more physical cash tomorrow, people would lose their minds.

Haha, no way.

BTW you can still get in on the mining thing, you just need to somehow get capable hardware and FAST.

I managed to get 415 Mhash (etherium) worth of graphics cards for less than $2k.

Ive already made back that money and now im on track to make $2600 this month at current going rate for Eth to USD.

I don't understand how people plan on actually making money with this cryptocurrency shit.

"b-b-ut they're worth..."

They're not worth anything. The only way you'll make anything is if someone's dumb enough to pay you real money for them. It's a meme.
>>
>>129438606
The problem is finding the hardware. $2k would not net you more than 6 Rx 480's on eBay since that is the only place to get them really.

Thats only about 150 mhash, maybe a but more if you get into BIOS editing and memory straps.

I think everyone here with at least a RX 470/ GTX 1060 should be mining whenever they can.

I mined 1 bitcoin with a 9800GX2 back in 2011 and today that 1 bitcoin is worth over $2900.

Eth is going to the moon might as well get in on it.

Dude... I know a guy that just bought a 200k house with money from bitcoins.... he bought in way back around 2011, had 100 bitcoins and held on to them till recently.

There was a bit of trouble getting the 200k USD withdrawal but he did manage it.

Its not a meme if you can get tangible results/money from it. Which you EASILY can. The exchanges are much more stable/reliable now than they were a few years ago....
>>
>>129438965
ETH is even more of a scam than bitcoin. Currency based on ETH works like me sending you an EMail saying "IOU 1$" signed with PGP (what they call "smart contract").
And that's exactly what these tokens are "worth".

To an extent sure. But with stocks your money is backed by a tangible company with real assets. Crypto currency has nothing backing it whatsoever.

>>129437695
Unless you are mining with ASIC machines at a large enough scale to make economy of scale worthwhile and have access to cheap electricity then it's a meme.

If you wanted to mine, you should have been doing it in 2012 already. Mining hasn't been profitable for people with consumer-grade hardware since 2013.

You need to be running the 1080 anytime your not playing on it, only issue is you might need to use older drivers with NVIDIA cards for best hash rate.

Also, I've heard the 1080 is slower than the 1070 for mining because of the GDDR5X memory. The 1080ti is faster than the 1070.

970m is meh, I pm not sure I'd want to run a laptop card almost 24/7.

Kek this is old info and not relevant to 2017.

Etherium is not feasible for ASIC mining because of the DAG size, over 2GB. They made it this way so that you could not use an ASIC.

Now with ETH trading at $340, do. you see how one might want to get in on that? Especially if not too long ago you could easily buy RX cards for cheap

I have forgot how to do anything with bitcoin, i messed with mining and moving fractionals around back in 2013 but lost interest, i found a paper wallet and key i had the other day.

1vpe7ya73VPiBTe8PSfpTMCQwdaWT2Xi4
>0.00007005 BTC
About 2 cents US i have from 2013, im rich lel.

Fucked if i know how i would get those fractionals from that address, i take it i need bitcoin software and to put the security key from the paper wallet in it and send them to another wallet?

So as long as nobody gets that key that address is safe? If i got a mining setup going on that 1080 i could send the output to that addy right?

Always found bitcoin confusing as fuck even when it was explained.

>>129437695
You spend more on electricity than you gain from mining. That being said, you are counting on the appreciation of the currency in the long run. Since each cryptocurrency is a finite resource, it's value will increase until it is all produced (which will take quite a while). The only value it has is that people are willing to trade it.

So: If you believe the currency will continue to be traded in the long run, and it is, it is a good investment. I've made about $20k on bitcoin, but I sold early, could have made a lot more. I sold when it looked like countries were going to ban it. I fucked up.
>>
>>129437695
It's a meme currently because of cost effectiveness.

>>129438407
Using bitcoin as a currency for exchange is a meme, but using it as a trading platform is potentially extremely profitable. Fees are lower, volatility is higher, market is far less regulated.

For example, insider trading is legal with bitcoin.

From when i very breifly messed with it i think i managed to put a few computers and netbooks in a pool, couldnt i just pool the 970m sometimes and run it at a slower hash rate as to not fry the laptop?

Wondering if its better to jump in with eth or something else rather than mess with bitcoin again.

May have had a couple of hundred if not thousand doge at some point, think they are lost now though

ASIC miners get better power usage, but not better upfront cost.

In theory if you get industrial power rates you can run a cost-effective bitcoin mine in some areas, and ASIC machines make that a hell of a lot easier.

that, and (((they))) won't let it take a hold... to say nothing of its finite nature being it's very Achilles heel (you need MORE currency as time goes on)

the only thing Bitcoin et al. will do is pave the way for said crypto-currencies for more officially sanctioned varieties -- allowing (((them))) to eradicate tangible money (as they're already doing) and control seize absolute control over the planet's wealth and transactions

but the bottom line is it's worth what people are willing to pay, as long as the ledger is secure and still being used it has some value.

Gold is valuable because of historic reasons and especially because human decided to be worth more. Gold at end of the day is like another rock, human just chosen the gold to be worth something, because it was passed on through centuries. Of course international elites decide how much gold is worth and how much they willing to share with you, since be assured they have hidden money reserves or speculate what isn't there to keep the worth more worthy, since regular stone that is abundant isn't worth much, namely because it's so abundant. So you telling me some bitcoin will decide itself how much is worth on some new terms they self created. Money should only be worth as much as workers work and create wealth for everybody. Putting any money's worth on anything else than well-being of people's creation will give you poverty.
>>
>>129444294
not really, the worth of bitcoin is related to its own supply
you can measure it in dollars but that's just because money can be compared to each other. Bitcoin is more similar to gold than to dollars, because you can't just print bitcoin. However, it's also very similar to tulips which were the culprit of a bubble in the middle ages. Their value kept rising until it was revealed they would become useless. In the case of tulips, it was that they'd die and become withered. In bitcoin's case, if it's a bubble, I don't know what will pop it.

yeah there is ethereum classic which is the original chain, it's worth like 8% or 10% of what ethereum is worth
I don't think eth classic has the same developers as ethereum

I don't like ethereum because I don't think it can scale to what they claim it's going to become, and the transaction cost isn't worth what some Dapps offer. For example the ethereum casinos have transaction costs for each bet. Every bet is put onto the blockchain and takes up memory on every computer as a transaction.
If it can scale all the activity and they have it figured out and I'm wrong then more power to them it would be a cool way to do things.

Yeah, but gold isn't another money of some financial system. You don't want to be tied to another financial system if you want something new. You should work outside of current financial system, only this way you purpose is of any purpose. If bitcoin can be regulated by establishing elites, then you ain't creating anything new.

for it to not be measurable in standard currencies it would have to lack real world economic value, like the play money from EVE
>>
>>129444568
so we should go back to trading valuable items, 20 chickens for a wagon?

there needs to be a system that people agree is worth something. To make sure that system isn't corruptible, you make the code open sourced so everyone can either agree or disagree with the distribution. You make it decentralized and so that anyone can participate, and you make it secure so it can't be edited or forged.

>>129445009
that makes no sense to me
elites can't control bitcoin any more than they can control gold

for his system to work, the dollar would have to be worthless to the ones operating in bitcoin, otherwise you can always find an equivalence

banks are coopting blockchain, it will be another currency/algo, bitcoin is not even future proof and its not decentralized enough
consider this a testing period for the global e-currency
>>
>>129445388
if banks can compete with current blockchains more power to them
the current banking system is so corrupt that it's giving bitcoin value

when people have a choice they will choose one that works best for them

>and takes up memory on every computer as a transaction
So the underlying currency is reliant on HDD or SSD space? Seems like we need several more innovation cycles in that sector for that system to be feasible. I don't know what kind of scale would be needed for all of the transaction in all of the world, but I imagine it'd be beyond even exabytes.

they were expensive, if you couold find someone dumping them for cheap maybe
and not sure about power drain of old cards

even all the old 390/290 are being instantly bought by miners

I should've invested into Furys when they were on sale for ~200

Socialism didn't had foreign banks, foreign supermarkets, neither did it have foreign money on its land. This way it was cut off from global financial system and had its own financial system. Stocks and money value in states didn't influence our money/market. When you wanted to trade with foreign companies you would exchange to materials or get papers you would turn into your own cash immediately on borders. So of course when you delay with anything, then you imply another financial system who manages this. So Mussolini/Hitler created own financial system too because they were tired of American financial crisis influencing them, like for example Black Friday.

that's different and actually an argument
well done
>>
>>129445630
I believe so, they say they have solutions to it something called sharding but I don't know how that works.
They also want to switch to proof of stake so your stake in etherem plus your computer confirming updates would confirm the chain vs mining by solving hashing equations

that's why right now I support a light blockchain like bitcoin and others that limits it's network to 1mb every 10 min. This way you can confirm every transaction on the main chain and have 2nd layer payment options for additional transactions and applications

Im afraid global banking/finance system wont let that happen, it wont be independent, they are going to use it themselves and later on some version will become the one and only global system and all the alternatives will be killed

you mean Black Tuesday, Black Friday is the discount day lol
and the USSR actually looked at the US to set values, because there was the problem of value in a non-capitalist system

> An apparent verification of these errors was seen in the experience of the socialist governments of Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. People do not realize that these were not isolated socialist systems. They were operating in an environment in which the price system still worked. They could resort to economic calculation on the ground of the prices established abroad. Without the aid of these prices their actions would have been aimless and planless. Only because they were able to refer to these foreign prices were they able to calculate, to keep books, and to prepare their much talked about plans.

>>129446110
these blockchains have resistance and security built into them being killed
It would take a global effort in every country stamping out each node and miner to kill bitcoin
That's a lot of effort especially the bigger it gets

I hope the globalists don't get their way and I believe we have a chance to beat them here.

I'm just trying to imagine the implications if one source could record all of the transactions at one time, and that seems like it could give that one source even more power the federal reserve, and they'd know everyone's buying habits, possibly affecting stocks and even supply.

Probably quite a bit beyond the scope you were trying to go though. It's something to ponder though as we move forward with this tech. I'm used to seeing currency as "credits" in video games. Not sure if I want that to be the main measure of my wealth. Too dystopian cyberpunk for me.

nope, graphics card mining is ridiculously uncompetitive right now. youd be able to pay off a mining rig in 2 months at these rates.

yeah I can see how it can get sketchy, some blockchains have privacy built into them like monero but the transactions cost more memory than the average transaction.
I'd hate to have everything tied to my identity, especially on a public network.
If the current banking standards of know your customer and anti money laundering law get into every "approved" blockchain and they sell your information like many websites and consumer rewards programs do it's going to get real weird
>>
>>129446772
lolbergs didn't start wars though
and the USSR did a lousy job of giving the people a good standard of living, the workers in le ebil America saw their conditions improve a lot more than the socialists. That's why the modern left is based on identity politics.

Oh right, now you will tell me how Russia is doing better now. Soviet Union not only gave them better standard than zero standard under monarchy, they also gave them land where they could grow it themselves. No we didn't had car/airplane supermarket transportation you banana retard. Of course there were no milkas or pineapples in supermarkets. Revolution started because people didn't had anything, not other way around because they had everything.

You're sort of wrong. You don't necessarily need more currency with a cypto. Bitcoin is divisible down to 8 decimal points. So 0.00000000<-

While there is a finite number, the fact that it is so greatly divisible means that it in effect does have flexibility even when that point has been reached.

>>129437695
It's a complete meme because there's zero reason at all to use this shit as a currency, it's hilariously inefficient in regards to power consumed to thing put out, and the only impact on the global economics it'll have in its current state is driving up the price of your power because dipshit down the street is drawing 5 housholds worth of energy before his home burns down from an electrical fire and wrecks your property value.

if i have access to free electricity and 10 thousand dollar for hardware how much i will make in a month?
>>
>>129447579
8 bucks if running 24 hours 30 days a month
the hell if we know
but right now only the people with hardware optimized for mining coins can profit from mining.
people who developed those hardware for mining do not sell it.
the ship has long sailed.

>>129447140
Russia isn't doing better now, the transition to capitalism destroyed the economy. Perfectly fine factories were repurposed with huge costs, for example a calculator factory was turned into a pan factory if I remember well. And there was a lot of nepotism in the assignment of state property. Oil reserves being sold for chump change, etc.
Without the Russian revolution people would be much better, it actually stalled a lot of progress in the beginning. The Royal family was already making efforts to modernize the country.
