Maybe creating a coin that increases the block rewards when difficulty gets higher could be a solution? The higher hashrate the more coins are produced. The price will decrease when more miners come because there are much more coins produced (inflation). Miners stop mining and less coins are produced. Less new coins on market make price higher. Hopefully price stabilize and miners get rewarded in a fair way. Mining difficulty would stabilize and not rise to infinity. Why is no such coins created? I know most coins are for Quick profits and intended to rise in price as fast as possible. But why is there no coins designed to have a constant price? This would make the coin more suitable for payments because we know the value of the coin. It could be a success for real usage and as a reference coin. When more people want to use the coin for real payments the price will rise but then more miners come to rescue and keep the value of each coin stable. The supply is created by the miners and the demand is for supply is created by users. If setup correctly it should even out.

Is that a crazy idea?

Thanks for explaining!

Aeon is not comparable using the same hashrat because it use cryptonight lite.
As an example my Ryzen 7 1700 CPU get 1900 H/s för Aeon but only 500 H/s för Monero.
For a GPU the difference is smaller even if you still get higher hashrate with Aeon.

So to compare with Aeon I have to calculate twice?

In theory if ju dedicate different CPU cores to different miners by setting CPU affinity. Or by switching coin by time, like mining one coin on mondays, another on tuesdays and so on. I have tried different coins but not more than one at the time.

You can also mine one coin on CPU and another coin on GPU at the same time.

Intense coin is my guess of a coin that will rise 10x 2018.
It already have risen 100x from its lowest price in 2017.

If you mine and hold the mined coins for one year beore you sell them you get a higher profit each month of mining if the coins increase in price. Maybe your friend mined coins one year ago during one month and sells them now? Difficulty was lower one year ago so you got more coins and the price is higher now so you get more payout for the coins. The coins he mines today maybe he is going to sell next year?

Just a theory of how to increase mining profits.

I have been mining Hush (equihash) and Intense coin (crytptonight) with my HD7950. This time of year it does not cost me anything extra for electricity because I have electrical heating and it is Winter here in Sweden. My heaters are going with less Power usage when mining :-)

The hashrate is similar to GTX 1060 but power consumption is higher.

Some new coins are not possible to buy on market yet (not listed on an Exchange) but you can mine them and later when they are listed on exchange you can make some profit. This kind of speculative mining can be very profitable but it can also just be waste of electricity if the coin does not survive. I have had some luck with mining new coins or less known coins.

Mining is fun. Maybe you should do a Little of both. Buy coins and mine coins.
Personally I made good profit mining last 6 months but who nows in future.

AMD Ryzen is a good CPU for mining. Or maybe an old server with many CPU cores like intel Xeon E5 series or AMD Opteron.
Servers have high sound level and high Power draw so it is not so nice to have a loud server at home.
AMD Ryzen 1600 is good for the price.

CPU mining is good if you alreade have a computer powered on all the time for other reasons.
For instance you can have a GPU mining rig with simultaneous CPU mining or a server with unused CPU Power.

Yes you can withdraw the amount above 1000 XMC but if you withdraw more the masternode stops working.
Personally I am thinking of saving the rewards so I can buy a second masternode when I have earned 1000 XMCC (early 2019).
But I had to withdraw some two weeks ago and it worked without problem as long I kept 1000 XMCC.

The Intense Coin monthly newsletter is released the 15th every month.

I have not lost any money since my investment. CHC price is higher now than when I bought them.
I have got a payment from my masternode one day ago.
There are commits of new code on github: https://github.com/chaincoin/chaincoin/commits/0.12.X
I guess people that write code can be called devs?

My guess is that you try to talk down the price because you want to buy cheaper?

Started my first Chaincoin masternode 2 days ago and have now got my first MN reward of 3.6 coins.
Looks like it works for me. Have to let it run for a while longer to se what average I get.
Will soon start my second node.

Still no standalone miner created?
We need standalone miner and pools to make mining this coin more polular.
More miners, more interest for the coin.
Higher hashrate increase value and security of coin.
Pools are marketing. I have found some new coins when browsing mining pools.

Free as in free beer but not free as in Liberty is a well known wording.
But don't you need to pay to get a legal Windows license?

I use Arch Linux on Everything. But that's mostly because it is what I am used to.
I don't like using Windows. Interesting that Vega has bad Linux performance.
OK I won't buy Vega then.

I have not had any issues with nvidia and mining on Linux.
It's more like a hobby for me. If it's not fun I won't do it.
Windows is not fun for me so that's why I don't use it.

A stable connection without any downtime is important to keep it enabled all the time.
You can use virtualization to run many servers on the same hardware but I have choosen to run mine on VPS instead of my own server.
Problem is that my internet is not stable enough at home. I guess a stable VPN is at least as expensive as a VPS?

But wait, 15% premine which is 150 million ITNS.
Why would not a part of that be enough to get listed on more exchanges?
Even if I think developers should be rewarded this is a huge amount.
Why not just sell a small part to these kind of things?

You can do a Quick check here:
http://minecryptonight.net/

According to that page Bytecoin give half the profit compared to Sumokoin and the best coins are not much better than Sumokoin so it is probably not worth changing from Sumo.

But even with higher core frequency it does not fully utilize the core with cryptonight. I Think best is to check with a Power meter. Should not be big difference anyway. I got cooler temps mining ITNS so my guess is that it draw less Power but have not mesured anything to prove it. Anyway AMD cards are generally better than nvidia for ITNS mining so there might be better options with nvidia mining other coins and buying ITNS.

However I mined a lot ITNS last year when difficulty was lower and then I used all my CPU and GPU's no matter of nvidia/AMD GPU or Intel/AMD CPU. At best I got 20000 ITNS / day with 4500 H/s but mining pools back then had troubles so it was not many days at that income. However the price was below 10 sat so it was not very profitable for the moment but I kept them. Sold 25% when price was at 270 sat to pay for the hardware. Keeping the rest. Who knows price of ITNS in future. Maybe should keep mining ITNS with everything?
