Mining

MINING FOR BEGINNERS(CRYPTO) LET ME THROW MORE LIGHT ON BITCOIN MINING... Bitcoin mining is the process of adding transaction records to Bitcoin's public ledger of past transactions or blockchain. This ledger of past transactions is called the block chain as it is a chain of blocks. The block chain serves to confirm transactions to the rest of the network as having taken place. Bitcoin nodes use the block chain to distinguish legitimate Bitcoin transactions from attempts to re-spend coins that have already been spent elsewhere. WHAT IS CLOUD MINING? Cloud mining or cloud hashing enables users to purchase mining capacity of hardware in data centres. Bitcoin cloud mining enables people to earn Bitcoins without managing hardware, software, electricity, bandwidth or other offline issues. Then all Bitcoin mining is done remotely in the cloud. This enables the owners to not deal with any of the hassles usually encountered when mining Bitcoins such as electricity, hosting issues, heat, installation, or upkeep troubles. Bitcoin mining is intentionally designed to be resource-intensive and difficult so that the number of blocks found each day by miners remains steady. Individual blocks must contain a proof of work to be considered valid. This proof of work is verified by other Bitcoin nodes each time they receive a block. Bitcoin uses the hashcash proof-of-work function. The primary purpose of mining is to allow Bitcoin nodes to reach a secure, tamper-resistant consensus. Mining is also the mechanism used to introduce Bitcoins into the system: Miners are paid any transaction fees as well as a "subsidy" of newly created coins. This both serves the purpose of disseminating new coins in a decentralized manner as well as motivating people to provide security for the system. Bitcoin mining is so called because it resembles the mining of other commodities: it requires exertion and it slowly makes new currency available at a rate that resembles the rate at which commodities like gold are mined from the ground. The aim of bitcoin—as envisaged by Satoshi Nakamoto, its elusive creator—is to provide a way to exchange tokens of value online without having to rely on centralised intermediaries, such as banks. Instead the necessary record-keeping is decentralised into a “blockchain”, an ever-expanding ledger that holds the transaction history of all bitcoins in circulation, and lives on the thousands of machines on the bitcoin network. But if there is no central authority, who decides which transactions are valid and should be added to the blockchain? And how is it possible to ensure that the system cannot be gamed, for example by spending the same bitcoin twice? The answer is mining. Every ten minutes or so mining computers collect a few hundred pending bitcoin transactions (a “block”) and turn them into a mathematical puzzle. The first miner to find the solution announces it to others on the network. The other miners then check whether the sender of the funds has the right to spend the money, and whether the solution to the puzzle is correct. If enough of them grant their approval, the block is cryptographically added to the ledger and the miners move on to the next set of transactions (hence the term “blockchain”). The miner who found the solution gets 25 bitcoins as a reward, but only after another 99 blocks have been added to the ledger. All this gives miners an incentive to participate in the system and validate transactions. Forcing miners to solve puzzles in order to add to the ledger provides protection: to double-spend a bitcoin, digital bank-robbers would need to rewrite the blockchain, and to do that they would have to control more than half of the network’s puzzle-solving capacity. Such a “51% attack” would be prohibitively expensive: bitcoin miners now have 13,000 times more combined number-crunching power than the world’s 500 biggest supercomputers.

MAH.ASX Ascending Scallop and a Bounce Off The 200 Week MAits pretty scraggly looking, but I'm certain that's an ascending inverted scallop. The bounce off the 200 week MA gives me confidence that this could be moving upwards and beginning a new trend. However before I get in on that trend I would lke to see a close or two on the weekly candle above the level of resistance I've got drawn in. That would then turn into a stop loss. Otherwise I think this will return back to the 200 MA; its already pushing pretty hard against those upper Bollinger bands. The purple dotted line is a rough guess as to where I believe the new trend line will be established. It is important to keep in mind that MAH has been in a long down trend so this trade is only a 50/50. This may just be forming large consolidation zone instead.

The Monday moveYesterday several indicators was leaning towards a big move today from yesterday’s post (will link below), but I remained bullish and was too busy to pay attention to the charts. Nothing really stood out. After breaking 7024 and now well below 7k. There is now more downside coming soon. Targets of now would recommend a retest of 6.5k and if you been following since the double bottom or first break to 6.5k are long term bearish target is that 5.2k range. Why would it go to 5.2k lower? Well vpvr shows most trading volumes in that area also let’s talk politics. US election is next year with the halving. I predict we rebound to 7k closer to the halving, but more bleeding as Congress is looking towards election instead of regulation of crypto. Will be another slow year till next fall. Also with price the war between China miners vs western miners since China has the cheapest compared to western miners it wouldn’t be surprise if there’s attack of more sell pressure to eleminate western mining farms to control the network. So now we will play the bearish side till next year.

BTC MINERS' WIN + WIN STRATEGYBitfinex longs at ATH level and keep climbing. -What happened before at bear market 2018? (Number 1 Situation) When price at $6000 level some miners closed their mining systems because mining was not profitable enough for them. After they closed their system hash ribbons indicator warn us like " Capitulation " ( It means that, hash power that generating from all miners has decline trend.) In other words 30 SMA - 60 SMA are death crossing. Important thing here ; even miners turned off their systems BITFINEX LONGS were growing. At the same time price found bottom before as you see. I am assuming; some miners were sold as much as they can and they dumped the price while they opened long on BITFINEX. (Win + Win) First Win : They have good long position as you see price at $3100-$3500 Second Win : Some miners had to close their machines and they had relative more BTC award from mining. -What i am expect now? (Number 2 Situation) Almost same situation here as you can see. Price is dropping, BITFINEX longs are growing, Hash ribbons showing us " Capitulation " I am assuming that they are dumping price again but they are secure their BTC value at BITFINEX to opening a long. They get lower entry for long. Small miners are closing their machines because they know that its not profitable enough right now. As a conclusion ; I am thinking as a miner, i can sell as much as i can from spot exchange to dump price. And opening a lower long while this is happening. And shakeout weak miners as much as i can. Try to reduce difficulty to get more benefit. SO, its not mean that we found our bottom yet. Still lower price on the table but one more good thing as bull, After miners run out of BTC, they won't sell until halvening. And i am assuming that price will growth. Nothing here financial advice. Follow and like for more. Thanks.

BTCUSD: Miner Capitulation Is Here... Back Down To $3,800?The chart speaks for itself. The extrapoled price comes from the "2018 miner capitulation" that caused the price to drop 50%. Will we go back to $3,800? Unlikely, but clearly this is possible if the capitulation is as aggressive as 2018. Notably the VPVR is supporting the price target of $3,800, as is the extrapolation, with forecasted price for the block halving in May 2020 above $6K followed by another swift recovery and subsequent bull-run. This isn't the first theory regarding price forming a higher low double bottom instead of holding the $5-6K area. As published last year, the 50 & 200 Day death cross also resulted in a 50% drop in price in 2014 and 2018, implying a 50% probability of such an outcome (using 4 sets of available data).

BITCOIN | Technically a Strong Area To BUY It.Hi, I have waited for a further price action after "tiny" bounce upwards. Movements have stayed stable and it allows us to determine technically some important areas for further movements. In general, BTC price and the overall price action are not at the best price levels to make precise predictions but still, we have something to start with. Let's start from the beginning and let's start from the most important - Bitcoin price has made a breakout above the powerful down-trendline. As I have said several times, this trendline from 2019 has worked perfectly as a resistance. After a couple of failed attempts to break above it has finally been successful. The recent pump guided the price above the down-trendline, which is also called a counter-trendline and we can call it also "Bull Flag"/"Falling Wedge".Let's talk a bit more about them: *Counter-trendline - multiple times mentioned in my posts. The recent long-term trend has been upwards, from $3128 to ~$14,000. Since it made the $14,000 high, the overall bullish sentiment has been low. Mid-term lower lows, mid-term lower highs, and this movement printed the mentioned trendline. It called counter-trendline because it is against the bigger trend, simple. Now, the price managed to crack it and theoretically, the long-term upwards movements may continue. Sound simple, right!? but it isn't. *Bull Flag/Falling Wedge - to mix it up even more to the bullish side, then more than a month ago (26. of September, you can see it below of this post "Related ideas") I posted a possible movement and a breakout from the massive bullish chart pattern called "Bull Flag": Actually, pretty creepy to watch it because those movements have been pretty similar compared with my drawings about a month ago. At the moment, it looks more like another bullish chart pattern called "Falling Wedge" but the idea remains the same - bullish. So, as I said at 26. of September: "I change my mid-, long-term bearish bias when the price has made a breakout above the upper trendline". It has made it and I will start to look where I can enter into the next possible waves upwards. My eyes are pointed to $8,450 - $8,800. Strong Price Level Criteria: $8,450 - $8,800 1) As said, the price has made a breakout from the bullish chart pattern "Falling Wedge". It is confirmed with the Daily candle close above of it and that should be enough. It has worked perfectly as resistance, also we have a strong candle breakthrough which also shows that the area is strong and now it should start to work as a strong support level. 2) Retest - after the breakout from certain chart patterns, the price has a tendency to retest the pattern. So, we can consider that current throwback is a possible retest approach. 3) In general, the area between two light-blue horizontal lines is the strong area, $8,450 - $8,800. Recently and historically this area has turned the price around. It runs through the trendline which also acts as a support and those two should form a pretty strong support level. 4) Inside the strong area is another bomb - Daily EMA200 should act as a support. The Daily EMA200 has cracked only with strong and powerful Daily candles. Yes, it can break it again (break below) but if those Bart Moves occurs so often then BTC is rigged :) 5) To be punctual, then the strongest area inside $8,450 - $8,800 is the orange prize zone. There is EMA200 and no Daily candle closes inside of it. Let's dig into Daily candles: 4-hour chart 6) 4H Golden Cross between EMA100&200 7) Those mentioned 4H EMAs are between those two light-blue horizontal lines - inside the strong area. Should act as support levels. 8) Fibonacci retracement 62% - Golden Ratio. Pulled from recent pump low to the high and at the moment matching perfectly with our possible bounce area. 9) Subjective channel bottom trendline. Subjective because not so clean as it should be. 10) AB=CD D point inside the marked green area. Also, a bit subjective, not so clean as it should be because of the big candles but it matching with my possible bounce area. 11) Wait for a 4H timeframe bullish candlestick formation inside the marked green area (on the 4H chart picture). Top patterns: Morning Star, bullish Engulfing, bullish Railway Tracks! Okay, those were my thoughts about the current situation after the pump upwards. Possibly, we can see a continuation wave upwards, it all depends - do the retest area holds it or not!? Definitely, it is a strong price level but is it enough? It should be enough, even visually I cannot imagine another Bart move to the downside. As said at the beginning of this post "...BTC price and the overall price action are not at the best price levels...". This is because we are in the middle of two strong price levels. Below the current price, the mentioned $8,450 - $8,800. Above the current price $9,300-$9,500. 9,3-9,5k has been a very strong support level in 2019 and the recent bounce didn't manage to crack it because now, it acts as a resistance. So, at the moment it seems logical that the price takes some rest and it attempts to break it again in the near future. Let's see, at least we have some price levels to follow. If it was helpful then take a second and support my effort by hitting the "LIKE" button, it is my only fee from You! Regards, Vaido

What To Expect After BTC Block Halving in 2020Hello my dear friends! Today I am here to provide you with some insights regarding the Bitcoins block halving in May 2020 and how it will affect the overall Bitcoins performance on the market. I believe everybody should be aware of this so it is my pleasure to share this with you. The information below is constructed from various research articles and personal knowledge based from experience. Hope you enjoy the read, I promise not to waste your time! On May 20th 2020, the third Bitcoin halving will occur. 50% less Bitcoins will be generated every 10 minutes and this could change the value of Bitcoin forever. The halving is an anti-inflationary function that “Satoshi Nakamoto” (creator/s of Bitcoin) put in place to make sure the value of bitcoin was never pushed down by the supply increasing too fast. This function is described in the white-paper. Block halving tends to have long-term positive effects on the price of Bitcoin (just like in previous halving’s). This is mainly due to supply and demand. If fewer bitcoins are being generated, the newly increased scarcity automatically makes them more valuable, but this doesn’t happen right away unfortunately. After the first halving, bitcoin went from around $11 to around $1,100 and back down to $220. Second time, Bitcoin went from around $230 to around $20,000 and back down to around $4,000. So for the next halving, majority of people are expecting history to repeat itself, only this time, sending bitcoin to perhaps a six-digit price. The biggest changes in the crypto ecosystem this time, will be the higher public awareness around bitcoin and the interest of institutional investors (hedge funds, banks, pensions, etc.). Increased public awareness could also lead to a wave of FOMO buying, which could push the Bitcoins price higher. When more financial institutions begin taking big positions, it could affect bitcoin in ways investors have never seen before. What does this mean for the Bitcoin Mining Industry: The acceptance of cryptocurrency by retails, investments by large semiconductor companies in mining-specific hardware, and the increasing demand for equipment manufactured in China are the emerging trends expected to gain traction by 2022. These trends will further add to the growth of the cryptocurrency mining hardware market size during the forecast period. The global cryptocurrency mining hardware market is expected to grow over USD 2.2 billion between 2018-2022. In fact, over 50% of the market’s growth will come from Asia-Pacific as the region is witnessing steady growth due to the extensive adoption of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. When the block reward halves, the price per Bitcoin compensates along with it. We have seen this process occur after every halving. Mining is a self balancing machine seeking to always be in equilibrium. The increasing number of product launches are expected to trigger the market growth during the forecast period. Vendors are making significant investments in research and development for developing innovative technologies and new products. It is safe to assume that after the block halving, there will be a high chance of large influx of new miners on the network, ultimately pushing the Bitcoins price higher. Bitcoin is still at it's very early stages of growth and unfortunately we have to be patient with seeing it reach its new higher highs. Although now may seem like the perfect opportunity to acquire bitcoin for long term holding, in my personal opinion we can still expect multiple draw downs of the price, perhaps even reaching down to the $6,000 support areas. Usually at the end of the year we see huge volatility in the overall cryptocurrency market, ultimately pushing the Bitcoins price to either direction, creating potential investment opportunities. Hope you enjoyed the read! Note: I am not a financial advisor and am not responsible for you placing any trades on the digital asset.

bitcoin usdt next 10800 cup signal and good voluem Bitcoun usdt next 10800 cup signal and good volume PIETA Co. Ltd., currently founded in Turkey, we are a team composed of young people who believe that blockchain technology has a great future.We have studied the future of cryptocurrencies and we have found out many problems that will face their future. What is more important is that most of these cryptocurrencies are not environmentally friendly.Moreover ,the cost of mining that uses electricity from non-renewable resources is costly to the customer in addition to its severe damage to the environment, considering that the world suffers from the problem of global warming, so we decided to consider solving this problem, because we found that the process of mining bitcoin results in high consumption of electricity To the extent that the profit of mining gets very low, for example, production is a daily profit of $ 12 per device and after deducting electricity charges becomes only $ 4, the miner finds that there is no profitable profit from this process and thus leaves it, and will also be reviewed by the environmental protection organizations that these Currencies represent a useless increase in consumption of non-renewable energy polluting the environment, which calls on them to fight, knowing that a serious report in 2017 states that electricity consumption of bitcoin has exceeded the electricity consumption of one country, which was a severe blow to the price of Bitcoin and was one of the factors that led to the decline of Bitcoin price that It fluctuates because of fear of the future and that there are no solutions on the ground for this problem yet.  This is what will threaten the future of this technology, which depends mainly on the mining process, so our team of developers decided to find a solution and this solution lies in two ways their main objective is to achieve an earning for investors, and also protect the environment, as well as protecting this technology from threats to the near future, which drives to raise the price and the value of Cryptocurrencies Again, the first solution is to create an innovative cryptocurrency by our team programmers in Blockchain Engineering , it is the X20 algorithm, developed by the famous X11, which relies mainly on reducing the energy consumption used in the mining process, whether it was renewable energy Or non-renewable by up to 50%, which in turn will reduce the cost of mining PIETA currency and also prolong the life of the devices used by up to 50% because this will make them cooler, and all this without compromising the safety of mining and speed, this new invention represents a revolution in the world Without a doubt, the second solution is the establishment of mining farms that use solar energy and renewable energy to mining Bitcoin and Ethereum zcash and other digital currencies in addition to the PIETA currency, which will be the largest earning with cheaper price, which will increase its value against the rest of the digital currencies .After the current phase, these contracts will be sold only for the Pieta Token which is currently offered for sale instead of the Pieta currency which is based on the Pieta algorithm X20 invented by the team Pieta, which will be launched on November 24. This will be a mining contract at a discount to the rest of the platforms that sell these contracts, which rely on renewable energy and also these contracts will be without electricity charges because of solar mining (maintenance fees), this project will be a unprecedented in the Middle East towards renewable energy and a great honor for us, That is because it will actually connect The technology to the renewable energy, to make a lo g story short, now we are in the stage of raising the appropriate funds for the project and we strive to achieve this to enter the most powerful global platforms for the circulation of digital currency PIETA and the establishment of a large trading volume, in addition to the establishment of renewable energy mining farms that provide contracts at cheap prices and without Electricity fees (maintenance fees) to work on the return of the mining process strongly and again, which will help raise the value of digital currencies such as Bitcoin, including the PIETA currency, which will be the reason for this because the development of the PIETA currency is the development of the entire blockchain technology. Therefore, we hope to become partners especially that I know you support strong and influential projects. I will enclose all the details of the project including the legal papers of the company in addition to the White Paper and teaser for more details via telegram @MahmoudCEO -- Best Regards,

AAL.L (Anglo American Plc) target 2,100 from weekend quote $1,69**Defensive stock to consider is AAL.L (Anglo American Plc) quoted AUG-17 $1,698.** Reason being XAU / USD (Gold / US Dollar) prices have elevated and appear poised to continue to range above $1,400 with a 1-3 month outlook. Dividend growth (5% yield) reflects metals rally and may continue. Market cap 23.5-BLN means it is quite defensive as pure equity play. **Debt only 3-BLN. Earnings 8-BLN.

Company (AAL.L) revenue rose dramatically more than cost of revenue since 2016 (3 years), an advantage offered by the current market climate (inflation lacking) I deem. Liabilities being much less than assets makes this an indestructible defensive play. **Platinum group metals are in a strong bullish trend, being rare basic industrial materials this may continue.** "Platinum group metals" includes: Platinum, Rhodium, Palladium, Iridium, Osmium, Ruthenium. Long-term copper price risk is to the upside.
