I also want to buy more octo, but there really isnt any volume anywhere. Guess I aldo have to rent a rig to increase my stash.
Once I get things settled, get moved and all and get those cards shellbunner is sending me all setup, I'm going to see about renting some rigs too. I'd really like to increase my holdings, but at the same time I need to be making some income. Trying to figure out some kind of balance between the two is going to be tough. I've crunched some preliminary numbers on renting mining rigs, which if I directly invest (daily) what I can mine on 1.8MH the returns aren't going to be much. So I'm thinking when payday comes, just investing a good chunk of that as well into some mining rigs and see what that gets me. I'll have to run some more numbers but I really don't have any experiences to refer to. Can anyone tell me what a good daily target percentage is (ROI) when renting hashpower? Not looking to get rich quick but don't want to waste anything. I've used betarigs a few times and they provide a great service. The price goes up and down with demand which usually corresponds to new coin releases or trading pumps so keep an eye on the prices and rent in a dip. In my experience its quite hard to ROI or make daily income with rented hashing power unless you happen to catch the difficulty and net hashrate low right before a price hike in whatever you are mining. Most times I've mined Octo with rented hashpower I've usually ended up with a bit less than I could have bought for the same price. Same here. I could buy more Octo than I could mine. Just not enough Octo for sale right now. I need my daily Octo fix somehow!!!!!  Anyone figure out I have an addictive personality?!  Oh and Edric, there are a few more goodies in that box. I hope you enjoy and can profit from it somehow. Awesome man, thanks! I'm usually pretty clever so I'm sure I can find a use for anything in there. I've been known to resurrect dead motherboards from time to time so maybe I can work my magic. I know what you're talking about with the addictive personality, I'm the same way, with a side order of OCD, I think. I'm hoping that soon I can get myself into a position to actually save up coins instead of constantly having to sell and trade, not a day goes by that I don't think about the fact that I sold off thousands of BTC at 50 cents to a dollar, lol. Shellbunner, do you have any advice for renting mining rigs? Sometimes I'm bad about not looking before I jump and these days I gotta be careful. I'm still not sure why the new wallet throwing those errors took the pool to a negative balance, even switching around MPOS's getbalance methods it's still in the negative (just a little). I'm thinking that some of the coins that's "locked for users" isn't supposed to be. At least since I switched it back to the old wallet, it's not complaining on every payout run and freezing the crons. I was messing with the new wallet on another server and even trying to move a small amount that's not "locked" will make it throw an error. I wish I could give better details and do more to help. Until the balance evens itself out, everything should be fine as long as everyone doesn't withdraw all their balances at once. When I get those cards and can do some mining, first priority is to fix the pool's balance, after that I may set up a private test pool to try and figure out what's up with the wallet and MPOS misbehaving together. It's uncommon, but some coins act a little funny with MPOS in regards to locked funds and getbalance methods (with unconfirmed/immature balances). I'm just wondering if the pool's balance would even itself out if we had no unconfirmed blocks or transactions in the pool's wallet, it's possible that all MPOS's getbalance methods aren't properly accounting for unconfirmed blocks. IDK. Thank god, the move is going down tomorrow, after all. I'm told that the internet will be switched tomorrow as well and that there shouldn't be any delays or problems. I always hate moving my computer, though, and I'm paranoid that one day I'm going to turn it off and it's not going to turn back on. Any time the power gets cut off or it gets unplugged, I have to pull out all the cards and reinsert them in order, or it won't boot. Pretty sure it's the old video card causing that, though, which I'll be rid of soon enough! My mom had an old bubble type iMac that was fine one day, unplugged it and moved it to a new place, and it never ran again (and good riddance). It was a dreadfully slow contraption since the advent of OS X ("classic" OS ran like a dream, I miss that), and bugs would crawl inside of it and die, and were damn near impossible to get out without an engineering degree. I tried to talk her out of buying it and letting me build her something better. She uses linux now, I am proud. |

Ha, I know how you feel about computers dying. If I even look at my mini-farm in the garage it crashes. It's been stable for a month so far, but who knows how long that will last.
I have only been renting rigs through betarigs.com for the last week or so. Been a great and easy experience. Like Jagged mentioned earlier, regarding Octocoin, it's usually cheaper to buy than mine right now.
But I'm doing both since there isn't much 888 for sale.
If you can pick some good coins to mine before they blow up and flip them for profit, then it would be worth your time to rent some rigs.
There are quite a few really good rigs/farms on betarigs and I only rent from ones with really good reviews and operator support in case an issue arises.

Addictive personality? that makes two of us. Crypto is my diversion from being a (really bad) gambler when bored. I need to keep my Octo away from this gaming link up when it comes.
Haha!!! I am a terrible gambler! I usually play Roulette too, which as everyone knows has the worst odds.  Just over a year ago, I lost a decent chunk of money in 5 minutes at the Casino down the road, and it was a wake up call. I gave up gambling for a year, and decided to gamble with crypto's instead. I have made my fair share of mistakes here, but overall it has treated me FANTASTIC! Now it's time to gamble on opening a shop with my business partner.  I have accepted that I just love gambling in general. Although for some reason, I don't feel 888 is a gamble really. Maybe I'm naïve? We'll find out soon enough. And to the devs - Please allow us to gamble our 888 in Las Vegas! It's only a 2 hour flight from here, and the wife loves it, so it's a win win for me! |

888 could most definitely be a ticket to wealth! That's awesome that you can make good money playing poker. Maybe you can teach me at our 888 party in Vegas!  Where is everyone located? Just curious. I'm 30 minutes south of Seattle.

Germany, UK, and Canada. Nice!
Spent a few days in Munich last year and it was by far my favorite city we visited in Europe.
Wouldn't mind moving there someday.
And wherever the party is I'm going!

Salt Lake City, Utah here. Only came across 888 about a week ago, had been mining nothing but FTC since about this same time last year. Octo looks good to me so I decided to make a switch.

Texas. I haven't posted in the thread in a while, but I'm still excited about octo.
The devs are talking a pretty big game, but I donno, I think they might actually be able to back it up.

I'm 30 minutes south of Seattle. Yeah, but since i'm studying i nearly got no more time to play... I can teach you poker for sure, but real experience only comes with the years, and you can never have enough experience in this game. You always learn.  Btw... 888 Party in Vegas (or wherever this casino/s will be) sounds totally great so let's keep this as a plan for all early adopters here I'm from bavaria, germany. I'm in the UK, a trip to Vegas sounds good hoho I'm from the china,Chinese style songs very good. . . |

Long-time 888 thread stalker (from launch) who signed up to BCT, mainly, to keep a better eye on this and a couple of other coin project threads. I am in Oklahoma: 45 minutes south of Tulsa, 1.5 hours east of OKC, 3 hours north of Dallas, TX and 1.5 hours west of Fort Smith, AR. Yes it is the center of the universe!  |

I haven't been active, as far as posting, but I pay close attention to this forum and get updates from Frame. Also, Shellbunner, you're my hashing hero. With the exception of mining WhiteCoin, I've been rocking it on Fusionhash with you for awhile. Anyway, just wanted to say hi dude. I'll keep happily looking at your hashing power from spot 2 or 3. haha, Happy mining everyone!!!
