Would be great if you could update the list of mining pools on the first page, some of them are dead for quite some time. Thanks EDIT: Actually, the first post should be updated in general, like the roadmap ending in 2018, for example.

Anyone willing to share their hash-rate?
I'm currently getting around 500 h/s on a 2950x. Can't seem to push it any higher than that using the cryptonight-webchain miner. Is that a good speed?
{ "algo": "cryptonight-webchain", "av": 0, // algorithm variation, 0 auto select "background": false, // true to run the miner in the background "colors": true, // false to disable colored output "cpu-affinity": null, // set process affinity to CPU core(s), mask "0x3" for cores 0 and 1 "cpu-priority": null, // set process priority (0 idle, 2 normal to 5 highest) "donate-level": 5, // donate level, mininum 1% "huge-pages": true, "hw-aes": null, "log-file": null, // log all output to a file, example: "c:/some/path/webchain-miner.log" "max-cpu-usage": 75, // maximum CPU usage for automatic mode, usually limiting factor is CPU cache not this option. "print-time": 60, // print hashrate report every N seconds "retries": 5, // number of times to retry before switch to backup server "retry-pause": 5, // time to pause between retries "safe": false, // true to safe adjust threads and av settings for current CPU "threads": 16, // number of miner threads "user-agent": null, "watch": false,
I think you should be getting double that. Here are some tips: 1. If you're using Windows, make sure you're running the miner as admin, otherwise it will not allow for huge pages. 2. Setting cpu affinity helps. Instead of "threads": 16, use this to affine the threads each to a physical core: "threads": [ {"low_power_mode": false, "affine_to_cpu": 0 }, {"low_power_mode": false, "affine_to_cpu": 2 }, {"low_power_mode": false, "affine_to_cpu": 4 }, etc. until 16 threads... {"low_power_mode": false, "affine_to_cpu": 30 } ], I've spent several hours trying to figure out why I can't get a better hashrate. I seem to be getting the best hashrate when using 8 threads (which maxes out around 700). After doing a TON of googling and reading through forums I realized that my solution was much simpler... I have 8 slots on my motherboard from RAM. I placed my ram sticks on one side of the motherboard (which means that the CPU couldn't use all 16 cores to their full potential) I moved one stick over to the other side and I can get a max of 1400 h/s on 16 threads. Although, i've got this tuned to 12 cores to try and keep the temp down. (I'm still getting 1050 h/s which seems reasonable enough) If you want to keep your temp and power consumption down, consider running 8 dual threads instead of 16 normal. Just change low_power_mode": false to low_power_mode": true in all (now 8 ) threads. You'll be running half the number of threads, but al of them will use double cache. You should be getting around 1100 H instead of 1400, but with 25% CPU usage instead of 50%.

It is energy intensive, but not so much if you compare it e.g. to energy consumption of gold mining. However, eventually also Bitcoin will probably have to switch to some other way of securing the network, such POS like Ethereum plans to do.

That's indeed a nice tip for the miners It's even worse than ordering stuff online for $5 and paying $10 for the delivery

They are beginning to gain popularity and so many want to build on this business until it's too late. But I wonder what these ATMs are more convenient than the usual online exchanger?
Most importantly, at least some of them allow you to buy/sell BTC anonymously, which can be quite useful in some cases. It can be also much faster to buy/sell via ATM, you don't have to wait for a bank transfer.

The new etherscan design looks much nicer and elegant, I really like it. I'm just not sure if it's also more user friendly.

damnit i wanted to sell my vibe tokens, but to afraid to log in... How can i know if its safe. Can a page be exactly the same as a phising site? I bookmarked it half a year ago. Can a bookmarked site allways be trusted or what? MEW wallet itself is safe. If your wallet is safe as well, depends on you If you have for example some key-loggers or similar stuff "pre-installed", or you visit some "other" wallet URL, no wallet is safe or you

Well, it is you own opinion and I have absolutely different. STO can be a trigger for ethereum as well+ POS will make ethereum growing in a long term perspective!
This is an important point. Proof of stake can have a huge influence on the ETH price as it will motivate people to hodl

Solid pump due to the MimbleWimble news, but actual results will only be available in 2020. And people would have forgotten by the middle of next week. It's a good time to sell and rebuy cheap.
That's quite possible... unless Litecoin comes with some other good news in 2 weeks, you never know

DeepOnion has been here for quite a long time. It's listed on many exchanges, devs are still working hard on many improvements. I think it has proven to be a stable member of cryptocurrencies and now it's just a matter of time until it gets real valuation... which is much higher than the current one.

The chart looks nice indeed, but I'll get positive on bullrun only when I see a few week uptrend and BTC price above $6000 again

Investing in small cap coins, is a high risk - high gain game. Many of them have just one or two devs, who can disappear from one day to another. Most of them will die, but very few can go x1000 in a few days. Much more risk, more possible profit, as always

Hm, hard to say how the broad picture looks like. Maybe the transaction volume processed by payment gateways is decreasing, but the number of BTC transactions per day seems to be growing according to https://www.blockchain.com/charts

Thank you for your attention. I was mining on my wallet. And coins did not come. Not without ID and with ID. Never came.
Same here, I tried 2 different pools, was mining to my own wallet address and the payments never arrived. Is it possible that I'm on a wrong chain? Or I don't know what can be wrong. The daemon is fully synchronized... Hi, I will look into it for both of you and see what I can figure out. I doubt your on the wrong chain If you both want you can post, PM me, or PM on discord the name of the pool your tx hash of the payment your XCA address and I can look to see, but I think all of the main pools are working correctly If it was from our pool minexcash.com I can also get the tx_key for you guys so we can prove payment on the blockchain, some other pools log it and some dont. Hi, thanks for offering help. My wallet address is XCA1W1gif8SR4zSZ9aBX7pM61u1LuFUy1AsnFXBcPuRJ4gthwy57kCjEb25Lq63zXx8AMtUsxT8hkcx cPt3PvqzJ5gzzgDKLnXThe pools and transaction hashes: xcashpool.xyztransaction: e59799e857b6d561f6471f7da6d9e3962bc56ae43dfa7b38a757cd648f08d812 xca.cryptopool.spacetransactions: d7622ae1cf85aa5b27280730f966b345f4460b5a5f6f8709ac8d3c76f18e853d 3e450316d8805188481c783c12e0db4531fad25acf48456d79c746b0b665184b be2f2562e20f9e0177ec9babb53a803bfbb13582812708611b1e1e0aab6e63c3 4336259cbe572b319b941dc4dcb5e9ff9094477260ee940bf5ceeea88aaa7d02 44ffc145f09f4db382dc1cadc8e46581aec801575976d385cb3ff2f615663d5f Thanks

Waves has a lot of potential, but whether it will be successful will depend on the Waves team... if they can manage to advertise / market it better. There's not much news about it anywhere.

Bitcoin mining difficulty in continuously increasing, some BTC are getting lost all the time because of lost keys... I think it is just a matter of time when the price will naturally start climbing up again.

Awesome! Thanks for listing. Will add to OP. Ok, the trading volume is 0.0 BTC for now, but I'm sure it will be at least 100 times higher soon. 0.0 * 100 = 0.0 That was the point (it was supposed to be a joke)
