Full complement of ASIC's available today at Bitmain, any one buying :ROFL:

I'd noticed this....I'm *STILL* mining at the same ~rate yesterday as I was a week ago.

When I was mining a couple of weeks back I was making £X a day because that's what the alt coin was worth against the pound, but I've yet to convert anything back to the pound so that figure is a virtual one at best.....Arguably I should have turned my miners off a few weeks back when I was rubbing my hands with glee at the returns.

I could turn them off now.....Would I turn them on again when the coin value rises and will I be upset I turned them off ????

The dollar price is reasonable, but the BCH price is very high!!!!

Arguably NOW is the time to buy all the thing, *IF* you believe in the whole Alt coin shebang. BTC / Ether / BCH are all pretty cheap and the miners too....It could be a killing....or a blood bath!

Personally I don't think I am that bold or that wealthy to capitalise on the risk......However nor am I that afraid to cash all out I've got (prob a mild gain).....as I on purposely didn't overstep what I could afford to loose.

I am contemplating looking at Unit on my S7's as it's higher than BTC and gives more coins, so in keeping with my philosiphy +++

I just read that AMD suggest that CPU mining might help offset the cost of building a new PC.
What do you think?

It all depends on the profitability and mining efficiency of that CPU really. But yeah, it's certainly something worth considering. The same idea can be applied to graphics cards. If you buy a high-end graphics card, as long as it makes more money mining than it uses in electricity, might as well let it pay for itself, mining whenever it's not in use.

Interesting that they claim a Threadripper can achieve as much as an un-optimised Vega - thats about 1200h/s, but £700 for a CPU is a bit much, especially at 180W TDP :eek3:

Also, XMR-stak sucks with Nicehash :p I'm getting 212h/s with Claymore on a recycled i5 that uses 30W +++ A whole 7 Electroneums a day :D

I've been trialling Revolut for the last few days. Great, ain't it! +++

So far I've done a few tests, converting GBP to EUR (and back) and sent small amounts between my Revolut accounts, my bank account and Coinbase. Also, my physical Revolut card arrived in the post today too.

One thing it's very useful for is converting cryptocurrencies into fiat (not that I plan to do that any time soon, but it's good to have the facility in-place for when I want/need to). What you have to do is create Revolut EUR account and associate that with your Coinbase account. You then sell your cryptocurrency for Euros and send them to your Revolut account. Once received, convert them (instantly) into GBP and send them from your Revolut account to your bank account.

EDIT: Just realised you posted a referrer link. Forgot to use that, sorry :o

That sounds really useful. No Windows phone app though :-(

Oh, apart from:

"Unfortunately, at this stage, we cannot allow transfers to external wallets or for customers to transfer their existing crypto to the app."

which makes it rather less useful and sounds like its not real crypto but just an in-app conversion from fiat.

Yeah, Windows phones are a bit limited. My OH had one for a few years. It was a good phone but app support was dwindling so I gave up and bought her an Android phone in the end. If you're not planning to replace the phone soon, you could get a cheapo second phone just for unsupported apps such as those. You can pick up new android phones for as little as £40 that should be capable of running most apps.

I'm not using the app's crypto wallet features. In fact I don't think they're available to me (yet). I think they're only rolling those features out to selected customers at the moment.

I'm just using the app (and the two GBP/EUR bank accounts it gives me) for transferring funds from Coinbase to my bank (and vice versa). You can also use it to pay (using the pre-paid card) or transfer money instantly to another Revolut user.
