so tempting but i would like to wait for 2nd batch perhaps.
Unless the second batch comes out before anyone receives the first batch, in which case wait for third batch.  |

I have a strange thing going on with Suprnova Eth pool, and support doesn't respond so they are no help.
I mined for 2 days and received no payout, even says I've earned nothing, then a few days later I got a bunch of larger deposits so all was well. Now, same thing happening again, but no payouts at all for 3 days. Weirder yet, under account balance it says 8.531e-5 for the amount...but when I try to cash out it does nothing.
Any ideas or similar experiences?
Well that would be 0.00008531 so yeah, no pool would let you cash out that amount. What is your hashrate? If you are mining dust then you really can't expect much. |

So, who's ordering?
I'm going to take a leap of faith here as well.
Well by and large there haven't been hardly any scams in the crypto space. So trusting people who are not completely forthcoming isn't that big of a risk since so many people are totally on the up and up. <insert massive sarcastic eye-roll gif here> |

I haven't used one of these in a long while but my old bat file has it like this:
--gc3355=\\.\COM15,\\.\COM16,\\.\COM17,\\.\COM18,\\.\COM19,\\.\COM20,\\.\COM21,\\.\COM22,\\.\COM23,\\.\COM24
Along with the other stuff you have which looks about right to me from what I can see
EDIT: Technically this is my bat file for gridseed chips in a g-black. I see you have the '--dual' switch, I would assume you would need a second set of info for the second pool. If you are trying to mine both algos which is what I am guessing from that switch.
I assume you realize those things are essentially worthless for mining anything though right?
EDIT2: Your url looks odd. What is "mining.evo.today"? I don't know that pool but shouldn't it end in .com or something like that? I have this:
--url=stratum+tcp://pool.ipominer.com:3333

NVMe M.2 is much faster than a SATA SSD. But who needs that extra transfer rate for mining? I can't see how it would be of any real benefit.

The fact that batch 1 hasn't sold out really scares me.
100m sols per 10,000 units sold
675m sols is the total NetHash for all equihash coins (78% ZEC)
How many have they sold... they are minis, so could be a lot more than a regular batch.
Yeah I'm wondering about that too. Did it not sell out because nobody wants to buy after various fiascos with D3, X3 and so on? Or did it not sell out because they are planning to dump an absolute crap load of them in batch 1? |

Is anyone aware of a tool that supports this, either free or paid? Awesome miner made it sound like it only support GPU temp auto shutdown without custom scripting.
Does the B3 support changing the freq (in otherwords over and underclocking)? If so you can use a method like this to schedule it, although this doesn't do it based on temps it does it according to the set time for the task. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=956098.msg10462772#msg10462772I use that in the summer for my S9's to downclock in the day and then go back to full speed in the evening. I just monitor them when it gets hot out to get an idea of the best time of day to schedule the tasks and what frequencies to use and then set it accordingly. Although really I was able to get most of that info last summer and just slightly tweaked the times and frequencies this year. I just re-enabled it like a week ago. |

Now kids, if you are wondering how to rip people off, get the government to come after you, and eventually wind up in prison, well let me tell ya...  A wonderful mentor indeed! |

If you really want fully decentralized you would have to figure out how to eliminate the mining pools too. ASIC's and GPU's are all still being centralized in mining pools.
I can understand the hardware monopoly arguments. But on that front there have been some noises made about Samsung possibly making mining chips, if that were true they would immediately dominate the hardware scene for whatever algorithm they touched with the possible exception of SHA-256. But if you look at something like X11, there are a whole bunch of competitors making ASIC's there, which is a good thing. Even though most people who bought X11 ASIC's in the recent generation lost money (and that's basically true for all the X11 ASIC's manufacturers), what is also now true is that any new generation of X11 ASIC's will be much easier to value at release. A very high network hashrate relative to the power of an individual mining machine means that each individual mining machine is a drop in the bucket in terms of network hashrate, which means that it is easy to judge the value of that miner. And that is true whether you are talking about a new GPU model or an ASIC. Look at an S9. It is easy to calculate ROI on an S9, even if bitmain sells 10k of them this month.
ASIC's are most destructive when they are new to a given algorithm and their individual hashrate relative to the network hashrate is very high. That's also when the ASIC manufacturer is most likely to ask a lot for them because they look extremely valuable when they are new (and they are for the manufacturer). But bitmain in particular can pump out a whole lot of new miner models and really ramp difficulty on an algorithm that doesn't already have ASIC's, which makes valuing these new miners pretty difficult.
Hardware investments mean people are financially invested in maintaining the value of a coin. One reason bitcoin is very unlikely to ever see sub-$1000 prices again is because hundreds of milllions has been invested in the mining gear, those miners aren't likely to dump at prices that lose them money. In fact I would be shocked to ever see sub-$5k prices on bitcoin ever again.
Personally I have no major vested opinion on whether GPU's are better than ASIC's or vice-versa. I own both. I do see the writing on the wall however and plan to sell about half of my GPU's in the coming months while they still get a good price. I think when ETH is no-longer mine-able with GPU then GPU mining in general will not be very profitable just because so damn many people are doing it.

new scam?  I would bet on it. |

Vitalik is essentially correct though. The amount of electricity used to mine cryptos is excessive and bad for the planet.
That is a load of crap. I would agree with you if you were right. Sources? Facts? Links? Yes please do provide those to support your weak ass contention that my statement was "a load of crap". I'm glad we can agree that your opinionated assertion, devoid of support is without merit. Without any backing, it is a load of crap. So, you are assuming, if not - provide proof. Not just for me, for the entire community that reads this, which is also in disbelief. Considering your status on this forum, you should help the community - enlighten us, if it is more pleasing to your stellar persona. If you are unaware of human caused climate change at this point you are either willfully ignorant or a moron. In either case you get the ignore button. |

Man you guys are so hilarious.
All of your care about coins being GPU minable is pure and simple greed.
Try not to forget what crypto is for, its not just mining profits....
Because at least this way we have some kind of decentralisation instead one company controling the market(look at bitcoin cash and whats happening with it)If there are like 10 companies making asics i wouldnt mind it but this way entire crypto will be in the hands of few greedy individuals bitmain caanan bw bitfury ibelink pinidea innosilicon haolong (may be innosilicon) baikal At least 8, maybe 9, who did I forget? |

This is my post when monero did the fork.
"To ALL GPU fellow miners.
April 06, 2018, 11:43:57 PM
Guys,
this is the message from the founder of ZCASH.
"Furthermore, it is speculated that Equihash ASICs are out in the wild, but after a community debate, Zcash founder Zooko Wilcox stated that he ‘doesn’t want to deal with this,’ suggesting ASICs for this blockchain network will not be countered and pointed out that people are free to fork the altcoin to fight ASICs while Zcash focuses on more urgent and important development issues."
and one of the founders of ETHEREUM (VITALIK) he would like to go POS because he thinks GPU mining is bad for planet earth (hope he goes to China to see the pollution there).
Well those TWO CLOWNS forget where they come from. Lets teach them what it is "mining power / power of the community" that make them rich. Just stop mining there crap coins, stop trading those coins / mine and support Monero or any other coins that care about you - why because they stick for YOU."
So you guys should do "what you are the best at" - mine and support crypto but only the coins that stick for you. This community make coins like ETH and ZEC from zero to the place where they are today, now looks like ETH and ZEC they dont need you anymore - so we should dump them stop using , trading for etc. ASIC, specially when is made by one company is called centralized - a fundamental breach in the foundation of crypto world. Some may argue that we use GPU from 2 companies (AMD and nvidia) but those companies dont mine crypto.
Still believe TWO CLOWNS own explanation to the community that support them for years (if they have the guts to do it).
Vitalik is essentially correct though. The amount of electricity used to mine cryptos is excessive and bad for the planet. I wouldn't say it is wasted exactly, some amount of electricity to support these crypto networks is necessary and serving a useful purpose but the sheer amount involved now is definitely wasteful and bad for the planet. The funny thing about ZEC in particular though is that the real reason to hate on it is the 20% dev tax. That has always been an obscene ripoff and all the reason anyone ever really needed to regard it as a shitcoin. I have no idea how it ever got so valuable in the first place. Also @OP of this thread, please fix your title. The word you want is "they're" not "there". |

I havent seen any coins announce they are forking. Its pretty stupid to hate a company that saved me a ton of money. I would buy 20 1070s to mine, (I have), why would I not buy one these instead. Less power, space, heat, cost, and various other pluses. People have warehouses full of GPUs. The hate for what Bitmain does, is ridiculous when GPUs are literally doing the same thing. Except they are using more power in some cases. If you think GPU miners arent causing the same issues, then you are naive. GPUs also cost more money per hash, and is also taking away a lot from th gaming industry causing huge disruption and price hikes. If any of you built a computer that mined better then anyone else, ALL of you would use it.
They should care because the extra hashrate will cause zec price to dump since there will suddenly be way more sellers than buyers. If they care about their premine they'll switch algos. That's not necessarily true. One reason BTC price has managed to stay so high is that people have hundreds of millions invested in hardware. When you have a lot of money invested in hardware you are financially incented not to sell at stupid low prices, which in turn tends to put upward pressure on the price. |

i just saw the antminer Z9 . and i wonder now about the decentralization for cryptocurrencies. some smart people will come and reply "everyone ccan buy Z9 = decentralization ". but this is bullShit. it still 1 company one point of failure . Antbleed , Backdoors. etc . just imagine if shitmain have a hidden backdoor inside each one of those miners . shitmain will control your money .
i used to vote and fight for cryptocurrencies as it has lots of advantages over banks big one of these advantages was decentralization but not anymore . if one company or two control our money then this will be totally scam and shity future . i have 100s of banks in my country i can chose anyone of them , now only 1 company can control my money LOOOL .
if cryptocurrencies will continue like this without true decentralization then cryptocurrencies are shit and SCAM .
true decentralization MUST avoid ASIC ( at least until we have lots of ASIC makers in different countries )
So what they should have consulted with the other asic manufacturers to make sure everyone dropped one at the same time? Then it wouldn't be centralized? Mining GPU's ultimately come entirely from two companies. What is your point exactly? Just to bitch about bitmain? |
