You deserve to be poor. I hope if you mount a lawsuit you lose and have to pay Skycoin's legal fees with a garnished McDonalds paycheck for the rest of your life

Genuinely curious. How much can you make running one of those miners?

>>14537741
0

>>14537634
And then kicked off by the Skycoin team for not advertising enough? Absolute clown world

>>14537788
Put a few more zeros onto that and I'm sold.

>>14537741
i get like 70 SKY per month and i spent like $13k on the miner

>>14537655
>can be turned off by the team
This is basically every coin in crypto. Or any third party that controls the mining pools, like BTC.

The box does process signature verifications for the bandwidth that you're getting paid in SCH, so yes, it's mining.

>>14537741
A $40 raspberry pi gets you something like 1 or 2 Sky a month. It's pretty easy to ROI.

SCH is getting listed on Lbank soon. Lbank is shit but they're getting closer and closer to these things actually metering bandwidth and doing peer to peer payments.

>>14537919
Jesus...
Do the miners generate coin hours at least?

>>14537999
at least those chains have redundancy and can be forked. when synth turns off his laptop its all over for skycoin.
nobody is getting paid in coin hours either. everybody is still getting paid manually in SKY, and everybody is still running the same testnet software from march of 2018.
>>14538108
no, but the SKY they send you at the end of the month does. not like coin hours will have any value though.

>>14538156
Yeah yeah, just like when the Chinese mining pools that own more than 51% of the market decide to write that their one wallet owns all coins, BTC will be over.

Reread my post. Right now people are getting paid manually in SKY, metering will pay in SCH.

>>14537027
No but I did build a DIY one. Thank fuck I dismantled it before anyone saw KEK

ok. still waiting for that day. skycoin will be long gone by then.

their devs dont speak english

probably whats going to end up happening. or ill just put game emulators on it because idgaf anymore

>>14538428
Moonman was too lazy to even try to mimic how Synth types.

I'm sorry that we're about to steamroll whatever shitty project you like.

I built a Skyminer with cheap components from AliExpress. Works like a dream, SKY payments come in each month and it has more than paid for itself already.

10,000 nodes already deployed globally.

Looking forward to seeing the proof of concept meshnet theyre rolling out across NYC.

Nonsense. The Skywire network can’t be turned off. It doesnt even need the Skycoin cryptocurrency to work - theyre separate projects you brainlet.

The insider trading fud was invented by Substratum... www.skyfud.com/insider

>>14538528
Chainlink could be written as an app with Skycoin CX. It’s basically just some code with an ERC20 token.

>>14538823
>Oracles aren't real
schizophrenia in action ladies and gentelmen. Delusions up the ass

>>14538911
not talking about skywire. talking about skycoin. its clear that synth would ditch skycoin completely if he didnt need it as a scheme to fund skywire. he even talked about dropping the digital currency thing in 2018 and just calling skycoin a hardware company.
too bad skywire will never work either.

im not talking about the cat meme trading room either. im talking about the team dumping on everybody after the binance listing. ex employees and current employees both dumping to $1 while synth was telling everybody in telegram to buy again at $5

They don't manage, they trust a central authority.

You can't trustlessly put real world data on blockchain. You'll always use a central source to author information. Oracles aren't real and there is no solution to the oracle problem.

>>14539102
The bear market was absolutely brutal to all shit projects. Especially the ones that are hopelessly abysmal like sky

>>14539146
>Oracles aren't real and there is no solution to the oracle problem.

Literally crippled. Hopefully you get some disability benefit.

>>14539102
thats like saying the bear market killed bitconnect

>>14537027
I built a DIY one and I've been selling the Skycoin I got paid every month. Broke even on it at the beginning of this year so now I've got an 8 Node PI cluster to mess around with and I still get paid $30-40 a month for around $1-2 in electricity each month. If Skycoin ever get their shit together and release their consensus algo I will definitely start developing some apps in CX.

>>14539179
>It's real because I read things claiming it was real!

We'll go to lifechurch.tv and watch the pastor dispense some undeniable truths too. I'm sure you'll love it.

>>14539237
They tanked way before that. Skycoin had a Binance trading competition listing dip, some fud, and then the market kept crashing.

i dont understand how anyone could be smart enough to log onto wifi yet think a someone would sell a crypto miner at a loss

i mean wtf

>>14539443
cool news source you have there schizo. Shame you consider reality completely unknowable because your mind just works in a deficient manner.

>>14539468
>excuses
Shit project were assfucked. No need to sugarcoat it

>>14537919
not that bad.
70 sky per month with current price ($1.6) = $112
13,000 / 112 = 116.
Basically you will make a profit after 116 months, which is 9.6 years. GREAT ROI. After that, you're basically printing money.

official miner here. got 450 sky at 210k sats. expensive, but i ended up selling it for 250-300k sats and made about 25 mil sats. Skyminer rewards i just consider that free money at this point.

Skycoin is a hardware company and they make money from hardware sales, as well as through crypto funding. The thread is about Skywire (the Skyminer node posted by OP is a Skywire node).

>too bad skywire will never work either.
It already works. I'm using it right now.

>im not talking about the cat meme trading room either. im talking about the team dumping on everybody after the binance listing. ex employees and current employees both dumping to $1 while synth was telling everybody in telegram to buy again at $5
Every crypto dumped. It was a bear market. And all this fud has already been addressed here... www.SkyFUD.com

>>14539062
That's right. CX is a full featured programming language, not just a smart contract language. This means CX can be used to create anything that could be written using a normal programming language, including games, apps, smart contracts, operating systems, and basically anything else. And any program written on CX also gets its own Fiber blockchain.

>>14539888
Skycoin dumped on the Binance listing because large holders dumped their bags, including the Chinese scammers and C2CX scammer Scott. They've all finished dumping now so the price is free to run back up.

>>14540423
>CX is a full featured programming language, not just a smart contract language
>not a smart contract language
Literally useless. Another "shiny" to distract the newbie investor from the obvious, fundamental flaws of the shitshow of a project that is SKY

>>14540504
A lot of belief in the project long-term prospects amongst the whales. They all consider it to be horrid.

>>14540358

Shameless/mentally ill

>>14540569
No, programming languages aren't useless. Please try to make up some better fud than that.

>>14540578
The coins were dumped because they were stolen. Also, implying you have any idea what whales consider.

>>14540504
>They've all finished dumping now so the price is free to run back up.
According to who? Distribution still isn't trustless and no one trusts the team with distribution

>>14540887
According to recent price action and the fact that C2CX is exit scamming, and the Chinese scammers spent 8 months in prison.

> no one trusts the team with distribution
Clearly lots of people trust the team, considering there are 100+ Skycoin telegram groups with 9000 members in the main one. If you don't trust them then go buy some ERC-20 token where the devs hold 95% of supply and could dump at any time (same as most crypto projects).

>>14541595
Yeah price action is unreal right now

>muh month of announcements
>not a single news about hardware wallet, skywire, obelisk

i've been following this project for more then 1.5 year and i'm starting to think they aren't capable of accomplish their promises

>>14542113
>not a single news about hardware wallet, skywire, obelisk

Yes, plenty of announcements still to come. The announcements this month were:

SKY trading on LAToken Exchange
Bitbns adds SKY-USDT & SKY-INR pairs
CX Chains (Fiber/CX Integration)
CX Labs launch
Coin Hour Bank private beta
CH Burn reduction
In-wallet purchases
Skywire rewards boost
SKY added to BastionBay
Coin Hours to list on LBank

That's off the top of my head, I've probably missed a few.

>>14542425
the list is big, but there are only one or two items that actually counts as "announcements"

looking forward for the next announcements, maybe I'm asking too much, but it's been a long road of unfilled expectations.

>>14542780
It's a large and complex project. It's going to be in continual development for years, maybe decades. You can't expect it all to happen overnight. Reset your expectations, and compare what Skycoin is developing with what most crypto projects are doing. Most of the top 100 projects are literally useless tokens or forks with no infrastructure and no use-case other than holding/trading the tokens in the hope that the price will go up.

Skycoin is out there designing and manufacturing hardware and rolling out actual physical infrastructure around the world. This takes a lot longer to achieve than simply forking an existing coin or launching an ERC-20 token, which is all that most other projects are really doing, if you look at them closely. What Skycoin is doing takes a long time, but the end result will be something that stands the test of time and still exists decades from now when most other projects have vanished.

Where the Scams Lead…
One thing you’ll understand here is that those who are seeking an anonymous system are those who are seeking to act outside the law. It is people such as John McAfee, whose life has been an endless series of scams. He is a criminal on the run, he has broken law after law, and he fled countries as a result. He takes money to promote scams, profits, and lives awake of destruction. Such is the problem with anarchy; it is people like John McAfee who run Ponzis and scams and the people with money who benefit most from your system without law. He wants anything to get more, and more steps on anyone to try to get it. There are not many people on earth who are lower than him.

I’m still surprised people believe people of such kind. Ones whose lives have been nothing but lies and promises that are empty. But then, many people don’t care to learn or build, and they become prey for people like McAfee.

I would very happily face John McScammer a.k.a. McAfee a.k.a. conman John in court, because the defence for libel is truth, and if I can get conman John into a court, by the time we finish he will be spending multiple life sentences in prison. If I could, I would even get Mr conman John to sue me, because then he would have to go to court, and he would never leave again without wearing an orange jumpsuit.

>>14537027
No, but pro tip: DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING THIS SCAM QUEEN SHILLS WITH A 1,000 FOOT POLE

>>14542425
you forgot to mention that they announced a special July 4th discount on their Raspberry Pis, also known as "Skyminers", which have been reduced from $20,000 to $19,999.99 for the occasion

yep, it was a pretty well perpetrated scam. the rebate means they have plausible deniability and the "chinese marketing team" takes the fall with a couple months in prison. I got suckered into holding my coins to i could hoard CH as synth kept coming up with these figures for how much they were gonna buy the CH back at that kept getting lower and lower. I still have the miner downstairs trickling in some pittance each month but i sold my stack and burnt the 17m CH in one tx as i didn't update the wallet software.

>>14543165
>All distractions. It's still a server application. Fundamentals are flawed at the architectural level.
What is? Skycoin? Skywire? Skyminers? CX? CXO? Hardware wallets? Antennas? Fiber chains?
None of those are 'server applications' (whatever that means).

>>14543621
>you forgot to mention that they announced a special July 4th discount on their Raspberry Pis, also known as "Skyminers", which have been reduced from $20,000 to $19,999.99 for the occasion
Official Skyminers cost $2K and you're guaranteed a full refund of the $2K over 24 months, on top of the regular Skywire CH rewards. Or you can build your own DIY Skyminer, which is also encouraged.
