Could I ask, will the old link to CNBC for live quotes for ARBKF still work as they are now on a different exchange?

My page still shows OTCPK.

[fozzie] 13/1/2021 14:17

That's not a fair reflection of SnF's posts Hootza. SnF holds a huge position and sold a small percentage. He has always maintained our direction of travel is positive and his outlier target is £10, the rest is just banter imo. As Nic syas weall want the same thing, ARB to rally!

[danb45] 13/1/2021 14:17

Wasn't ARB already trading over in the US as ARBKF anyway ?

[qs99] 13/1/2021 14:16

well looks like the yanks OTC on the offer is now wanting materially higher than the offer here in the UK. Will it drag the UK price up?

Just remember Suffers has been predicting £10 here while selling all the way up to £1. It's good strategy, taking profits and I am sure he is only investing what he can afford to lose, but sucking others in with wild predictions after you have made a fortune for yourself is not nice in my opinion.And he was calling sellers Lemmings yesterday? Go figure?

It's banter but SNF does like to have a go at me !!Anyway we all want Argo to rally

[mciw] 13/1/2021 13:52

We all have different opinions on where the price should be, let's all get on please, it's a nice forum but in danger of becoming too personal, nice consolidation before a new move....think we're getting too used to this 50 percent moving business...used to excited we had a 0.5 pence uplift

[investorgeek1] 13/1/2021 13:45

I think you're a valued contributor her Nico - I'm sure it's just banter

[yump] 13/1/2021 13:30

Just subjugation to the US.

We did our own thing for a while; now people are looking for them to lead.

Yes that’s looking to the country with an impeachment starting that is a beacon of freedom to the world.

The Brexiteers think we can go it alone. The evidence doesn’t support it.

[nico115] 13/1/2021 13:28

Better to travel than arrive AND We knew it was coming !!I'm trying to help SNF but he seems to know it all!! His prediction today was miles off the mark None of us are perfect but he thinks he is : )

[investorgeek1] 13/1/2021 13:22

We've all been reading the dampers and de-tamper here, but reality is Arb hasn't risen at all today whilst Riot has, many many others have in other industries but not Arb - strange after this morning's RNS - any thoughts ?

Bitcoin owner has only two guesses left to unlock $220m in cryptocurrency

Unfortunately, the owner kept the password to accessing the digital wallet holding the Bitcoin on a piece of paper, which he lost
By Rozina Sabur Washington 12 January 2021 • 9:25pm

A Bitcoin owner has revealed he only has two guesses left to unlock more than $220m in cryptocurrency after eight failed attempts to access his fortune.

Stefan Thomas, a German-born computer programmer based in San Francisco, was given 7,002 Bitcoins more than ten years ago as a reward for recording a video explaining how the cryptocurrency works.

At the time, the Bitcoins were worth between $2 to $6 each.

With the price of Bitcoin rising rapidly during the coronavirus pandemic, those Bitcoins are now worth around $34,000 each, putting the value of the total fortune at more than $220 million.

Unfortunately for Mr Thomas, he kept the password to accessing the digital wallet holding the Bitcoin on a piece of paper - which he lost years ago.

The password is needed to unlock a small hard drive, known as an IronKey, which contains the private keys to a digital wallet that holds Mr Thomas' Bitcoin fortune.

The IronKey allows users 10 guesses before it encrypts its contents forever.

Mr Thomas said he has already tried eight passwords he uses without success.

“I would just lay in bed and think about it,” Mr Thomas told the New York Times. “Then I would go to the computer with some new strategy, and it wouldn’t work, and I would be desperate again.”

Mr Thomas' unlucky tale has thrown light on one of the pitfalls that come with dealing in cryptocurrencies, which, unlike traditional banks, do not have a function to retrieve lost or forgotten passwords.

According to the cryptocurrency data company Chainalysis, around 20 per cent of the existing 18.5 million Bitcoin appears to be stuck in lost or otherwise inaccessible digital wallets.

Many locked out owners have been forced to watch on, unable to cash in on their digital wealth, as the value of Bitcoin rapidly increased during the pandemic.

Wallet Recovery Services, a business that helps find lost digital keys, said it has gotten 70 requests a day from people who want help recovering their riches, three times the number of a month ago.

After the coverage of Mr Thomas’ plight, some experts have suggested the computer programmer invest his money into ways to hack his IronKey and unlock the funds.

Alex Stamos, an internet security expert at Stanford Internet Observatory, said he believed he could crack the password within six months - in exchange for a 10 per cent cut of the digital fortune.

“Take it to professionals to buy 20 IronKeys and spend six months finding a side-channel or uncapping,” he said on Twitter. “I’ll make it happen for 10%. Call me.”

But for now Mr Thomas says he has put his IronKey out of sight and out of mind.

“I got to a point where I said to myself, ‘Let it be in the past, just for your own mental health,’” he told the New York Times.

Utter rubbish No one would want to take us over You thought we would be up a lot today and that has been proved v wrong so far And yes the shrewd American buyers have already bought arbkfStop ramping unless it's valid 50p up day without a decent rise in BTC just won't happen We are now fairly valued with btc at 35k to 40kI hold for further btc price rises

[suffersnofools] 13/1/2021 13:03

Most of the buying in the states already done.Priceless

[suffersnofools] 13/1/2021 13:02

Exactly QS99Nico just doesn't get it. He just likes to try and prove how clever he is. He's like a mini Trump :) It's the mug punter mentality of I'll sell because it's gone up a lot. As opposed to being able to understand the Company's true value and hold until the misvaluation is corrected in the market.I don't know exactly where fair value is for Argo but it's def a lot higher than a quid. Just on the basis of a likely take out value it's got to be above 300p

Monero, Dash, and Zcash rebound strongly, outperforming other altcoins
Jan 12, 2021


Argo coins mined, Bitcoin, Zcash.

[alm6] 13/1/2021 12:28

can't see how Mara has the resources for that unless the share price stays where it is or declines. The placement hasn't even been made yet.

[horneblower] 13/1/2021 12:25

Cash and shares?

[countdracula55] 13/1/2021 12:25

Btc has stabilised nicely, it could be back to 40k in a heartbeat....dont miss the boat.Gla.

[alm6] 13/1/2021 12:21

250 million dollar is approx half ARB current market cap - how would that work?

[trentendboy] 13/1/2021 11:49

Mara provides more competition of course250 million buys a lot of Bitmain kit and data centres OR they use it to buy ARB outright and cut management costs

[nico115] 13/1/2021 11:45

Btc should rally to 39k which is resistance

[gspanner] 13/1/2021 11:42

‘biggest holder selling’

don’t think so, significantly increased institutional interest at 40% shares issued last declared.

How many of the free float here will move to US permanently today I wonder?
