If Craig Wright were found to be Satoshi I can't see it doing anything other than utterly tanking the Bitconi price.

Myth exploded.

Satoshi is a 2nd rate security hack who can't spell. Apart from the fact that there's now $400 Million worth of BTC about to be potentially mobilised.

(Maybe that was the idea all along).

I don't think there is much point to dwelling on Wright's claims.

I did, originally, think the Block Halving on Bitcoin was going to be very good for Dash, because people would be transfer their Cash purchases of Bitcoin onto another crypto with similar net coin production size e.g. 20 million, rather than pump the Bitcoin price up sky high and get their finger burnt again relative to the next block halving on Bitcoin.

However, I would point out:

It is a little bit crazy for there to be ASIC X11 miners for Dash coin, its' total net value is $40 million.

The 1st batch of 50 X11 ASIC miners shipped last month at cost of $2100 each, or (total shipment value was $105,000).

Crypto Mining Blog ordered 1 and was show casing on the website.

Not, sure Dash would really reap the full benefits of the Bitcoin block halving, when it also dealing with a cost implications of a change from GPU mining to ASICs, which naturally leads to an increase in net outflows of liquidity from a major crypto.

Not only Dash uses X11. It's just the 3rd most popular hashing algo so it makes perfect sense that dedicated hardware was developed eventually.

Poloniex down?

Yep

Would somebody mind pm me gpu miner for dash and possibly a tutorial about it? the front page link is unavailable

Why are people margin lending on polo for such low rates? Having your money sitting on a centralized exchange is already super high risk, and then you compound that risk by loaning the money to others. Especially the longer term loans, where you can't even get your low rate money to withdraw if the exchange gives any warning of a cryptsy/mt gox/mintpal/etc... type situation.

A masternode gets better returns than a lot of the loans I see on polo, AND there is no risk of losing your coins.

If you are gonna be risky as hell with your money, at least demand high interest rates (1% or more)

And if you can afford a masternode, you can use your earnings to invest some risky ICOs, e.g. Lisk, Waves. When you pile risk on top of risk, eventually, something sticks.

Yea, but in fairness to masternode returns, they compound weekly (ish) when payment is made.

Either way, I see loans all the time around that rate or lower, and that's in no way worth it when you factor in really high risk. Pretty much every major alt coin exchange has been hacked or exit scammed. It's not a matter of "if" but "when"
