Haven't been here in a while, but figure it was a good time as any to wish all a *Merry Christmas* and *Thank You* for the airdrop!  |

Hello guys and gals. Been away for some time, but was thinking I'd run a Monero miner again in some small pool to support the network. I was going through the OP to find the necessary resources, but am finding that a bunch of information there is quite outdated. Old miners, broken link to forum and others, etc. This is just a heads up, as I didn't quite have the time to review everything or come up with corrections... Finally, could someone point me to a helpful post with *current* information on how to mine? Thanks!  Basically I don't know how long you have been away but alot has changed with XMR in the last year. Basically we first got the network hit with ASICs, which lead to a hard-fork called Cryptonite V7, and last week we had the algorithm changed again due to unfair FGPA mining.The only miners supported are SRBMiner and XMR-Stak. The rest don't work anymore. Nicehash just uses XMR-Stak in the background and Claymore miner only support V7. Depending on what GPU you have, you can make more profit mining XMR than ETH and the other coins. It wasn't changed due to unfair FPGA mining. It was changed again because thats the new policy. Every 6 months the monero network is gonna have a different tweaked PoW. Because its more fun that way. Thanks GigerAle and adaseb. Its proving quite fun to be a sort-of-newbie at some stuff again. |

Is there anything going on with this project beyond the long term airdrop?  |
|
|

The airdrop is for Legendary only peeps nowadays? Wow... Looks like we're really not in Kansas anymore  |
|

I see that I made it back to the Airdrop, since reaffirming my registration. Thanks guys!

Hi guys!
I have not received my airdrop recently, likely due to inactivity on my bitcointalk account.
Could someone confirm, and is it ok that I signup again while checking that I remain active?
Thanks!
Edit: I figured out where to check now. Got removed due to inactivity.

Qual seria o preço pelo qual venderia a Ducati atualmente ? (se já não estiver vendida).
Olá Continuous. Realmente a BTC continuando assim, qualquer dia o preço será uns 0.xx BTCs?  Por agora então, deixava a motita partir por 4 BTCs (com revisão a fazer por minha conta). |

Good fun testing the tournament. I sucked and got myself out pretty quick, but still fun.
It's really difficult to get started, but if participation is properly automated, you do have an interesting project here.
Cheers!

While I am not really a fan of such activities, I would note that the increasing tone and frequency of trolling & fud, is just indication of wider reach and strong hint of greater interest in Decred. Trolls and fudster's are only really around in numbers when there is value in doing so, and they are purely driven by the desire to (re)buy at lower prices, nothing else.
Do not feed these buggers please.

^ The script you had imported would have just created the necessary account for pool ticket purchasing & voting. You can just configure (or re-configure) your wallet to buy tickets into another pool, or to buy them in solo mode. There's nothing really to "revert", so to speak.
(sidenote : there is something that could be reverted, but I don't think you'd care for all the details, and it's not really helpful to your case)
Tickets that you had bought in the past, will eventually get picked to vote, or get missed, or finally expire. The very longest that you can expect for the last of your tickets to be returned, is about ~4.7 months, which is the expiration time. Most likely, the majority of your ticket funds (if not all), will return to your account much sooner than that.
Thanks Myagui. The pool is telling me I have 0 live tickets, just voted tickets yet my balance is 10% of what it should be. Is this normal? That really looks off lmaonade80.  If the pool reports you has having 0 live tickets, maybe you never really bought pool tickets? At least 2 possibilities come to mind with regards to your missing balance: maybe you bought your tickets as "solo tickets", regardless of having joined the pool, or maybe you bought "pool tickets", but entered the addresses incorrectly, in which case, your coins might be in someone else's hands by now... The following commands might give you further insight: dcrctl --wallet getbalance * 0 all^ will give you your total balance, including any coins locked for voting, in all addresses that you own. dcrctl --wallet getstakeinfo^ will give you your detailed ticket stats, voted, live, expired, etc (both pool and solo tickets, there's no distinction there) |

https://dcr.stakeminer.com/ is offline? What happens if they had my coins that were staking? I believe I imported a script and they could not actually steal the coins, but I am missing 90% of my DCR from my wallet and I'm still fuzzy on how PoS works. It's impossible that they have stolen your coins because the POS pools doesn't keep your coins during stake. The coins still are in your wallet, but blocked. Only on evolution you send your coins If you've bought tickets for stakepool voting, and the pool shuts down or goes offline, your tickets/votes will get missed. Once they do, your wallet can revoke those missed tickets and you'll see your balance restored (minus a tx fee, and absent of voting rewards). Importantly, even if you've bought all your tickets for stakepool voting and the stakepool completely shuts down, you can always have your own wallet online and voting as well, so your votes can still be submitted. |

Anyone have some insight on when the best time to buy tickets now is, and how to estimate fees?
It looks like there are four points per cycle on the oscillating ticket price graph: 40, 80, 120, and 80 DCR, approximately. I've heard that fees go insane when ticket price hits that low point around 40ish, but I'm not seeing any fee info on dcrstats or in wallet with getstakeinfo command or whatever.
Any advice or suggestions appreciated...
To avoid the fee wars, I'd suggest buying in the 40's and 50's range. These will usually go through even at the default/minimum ticketfee. Lower ticket prices get quite competitive, but even then, on a couple of recent occasions, I've been able to pickup some tickets in the 30's range, with a ticketfee setting of 0.0666/Kb. Personally, I stay clear of the 20's ticket prices, as I'm not a fan of the fee wars that ensue. To succeed at that range of ticket prices, I suppose one must really be using ticketbuyer (and conceding a large portion of the voting reward to ticket fees). |

What's with the puzzle? Where will it lead?
My guess, it'll be leading down the proverbial ' rabbit hole' |

In protest towards a single PoW pool continuously operating at > 50% of the nethash, I'm switching to votebits 0 for now.
Kindly ask that some PoW miners consider switching to a smaller pool.
The problem is that ocminer has the pool source and hasn't release it to the public. If we could convince him to do this, we could have more even hashrate distribution. I reached out to him about this a few days ago but have not gotten a response. If others feel inclined to plead for his mercy, please do so. I think myself and a few others might join you on your protest. Between us, we have 1000's of tickets. Maybe I missed some point you were making there dbt1033, but suprnova is one of the smaller PoW pools at the moment, has mostly been well under 15%. Coinmine.pl on the other hand, has usually well over 60% (checking right this instant, dcrstats shows it having 75% of the nethash). There's at least some 7 PoW pools for people to spread out their hashes already, so I don't think that the pool sources are missing generally speaking... I do appreciate any joiners to this protest though!  |

its funny reading these posts though ... especially how sp calls his customers 'dickheads' ... and everyone STILL pays him ... hehehe ...
#crysx
I'm inclined to think that ' dickheads' is a reasonably accurate description. See, paying upfront, and sometimes ongoing fees, for something that might be a wee bit faster, on only some model cards, on some magical clocks, on a limited set of operating systems, ignoring the additional rejects, and never really receiving an upgrade that matters, takes a special kind of person. You know... A ' dickhead'. It's really only a couple of people that continue to release their open source work for the benefit of the nvidia miners. In particular, and referring generally about recent times, I'm most thankful for Epsylon3 and Alexis, with casual but valued contributions from other folks who know who they are. Big thank you guys! SP_ please ignore the distraction. By all means proceed with your sales of whatever-shitalgo-0.0001%-spmod to the ' dickheads'. |
