this miner does not start up for me. it is strange how some of you have 480's at least it runs. I cannot get it running wonder if there are other miners that will give the same speed

Do you have proper drivers?

where can i find custom bios for club 3d 280x hynix ?
You can made it youself. Just search via google "Tahiti bios modding". I can made it for you. Give me your bios rom, I make mod.

It is just change the memory timing. It is less effect now as the new miner use the core a lot.

If the bitcoin wake up, the total market cap shall double soon.
124  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin at $1050.. China "inspection" has to be coming. on: March 14, 2017, 05:29:29 PM
Right now the demand is purely coming from western exchanges. I am quite satisfied with how the PBOC broke down the leading role of Chinese exchanges. It was all hot air that right now clearly has vanished. Remember how much FUD was coming from China, which time on time again caused the market to go South heavily? It feels good seeing that China is losing its significance in Bitcoin trading. They don't contribute, but just take and destroy. Reckless gamblers are they.
I share your opinion and I am glad that China appears to be no longer the key factor in setting up the price of BTC.
At the same time I don't think we are out of the woods yet. Chinese traders shifted their attention from centralized exchanges to p2p trading.
PBoC might still see Bitcoin as potential asset which is used to transfer money out of the china and fight with Yuan devaluation.
There is always a possibility that in the future they might enforce some ridiculous restrictions.

Capital flight is indeed the main sensitive spot of the paranoid Chinese government, but even though Bitcoin serves perfectly for that purpose, the wealthy individuals aren't tied to Bitcoin in that regard. They have alternative ways of securing their wealth elsewhere. The harder the government is forcing through their idiotic regulations, the further it will drive people from exchanges. That's why I believe that p2p trading will continue to boom in China.

Most wealthy people do not know about bitcoin. Even all the bitcoins are used in the capital flight, it is less than $20 billion.

forget about China inspection now, price broke the $1100 resistance.
China and their public bank and what it says has started to get less and less importance, they are out of the game and even if they weren't the FUD of an "inspection" can not last forever, you can only use the same approach for FUD a couple of limited times not forever!
and right now we are on the rise and nobody talks about the inspection. and inspection is in progress

The price is already $1298. I think the influences by the Chinese are getting less and less as time goes on.
126  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin at $1050.. China "inspection" has to be coming. on: February 20, 2017, 04:42:45 PM
Im also sick of hearing PBOC this, PBOC that. I look forward to seeing Chinah as an inconsequential player in bitcoin.

The more the PBOC interferes, the less effect it has.

128  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will institutional money finally start coming in? on: December 23, 2016, 09:08:33 AM
I mean what are they waiting for?  The fact that the market cap isn't 12 figures is a joke.

When the bitcoin market cap is over 100 billion US dollars then the small institution money will start coming in.
129  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v8.0 on: December 06, 2016, 04:21:44 PM
Does anybody have a proof that private high speed miners exist?

Its GPU Mining. An ASIC ist not known yet!

There will not be any ASIC in the future. The developers said it will change the algorithm if there is an ASIC.
130  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v8.0 on: November 29, 2016, 05:39:56 PM
So according to the table, a R9 280x (205 sol/s@130W) is more efficient than a RX 480 (205 sol/s@180W) ?

That's weird.

Yes that is correct because the miner is currently not well optimized for the RX series or its drivers. We need those optimizations ASAP Smiley

Mine get 207h/s @ 155w wall

Yes and when optimized should be doing probably at least 260 h/s @ 140w at wall Wink

How do you know?
131  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Genoil's ZEC miner: AMD ZCash miner for Windows - 0.6 on: November 08, 2016, 05:50:40 PM
ignore this one - go for claymore

seriously genoil good job but now its claymore time!

The Claymore 2.0 uses a lot of CPU power. It also uses a more power than the Claymore 1.1 version.

The latest Claymore 2.1 uses even more CPU power if you set the intensity level to 1 or 2. With 0, it is about 20%.
132  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Genoil's ZEC miner: AMD ZCash miner for Windows - 0.6 on: November 03, 2016, 06:42:28 PM
after about 24 hours of test, I find 0.6 gives 0S/s for some of my cards more often then 0.5 which is never Sad ,
so switch back to 0.5 for now

plus, all my GPU usage is around 78% up and down, none of them is reaching 100% like mining other coins


For the 7970/280x, the GPU usage is about 85%. For the newer 390 cards, the usage is about 100%.
133  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETC rising to 0.01btc ? on: October 13, 2016, 05:12:28 PM
It is very hard for ETC to touch that price range without strong community support behind it. ETC network and community is growing in very fast rate so may be after a year or so it will be not a surprise to see ETC trading over 0.01BTC.

It seems the big companies are using the main Etheruem chain, so that could be a bad news for the ETC.

I heard the JP Morgan is Quietly Developing a Private Ethereum Blockchain

Wall Street mega-bank JP Morgan has co-developed a private, permissioned version of the ethereum network.

The project, presented during a meeting of the Hyperledger technical steering committee last month, was recently demonstrated during the Sibos convention in Geneva. But while the bank avoided the headline-grabbing announcements of its peers like Bank of America and UBS last week, this doesn't mean it is shying away from discussing its work.

Called Quorum, the platform was developed in partnership with ethereum startup EthLab, and it is one of the first projects to come out of a working group within the bank known as the Blockchain Center of Excellence.

Amber Baldet, program lead for the division, explained that JP Morgan is now looking to open source its blockchain technology work in order to get more developers involved.

Baldet told CoinDesk:

"One of our goals in working with an open-source platform and contributing our work back is to encourage collaboration and innovation. The more people that get involved, the faster we will see adoption challenges addressed and the more robust the system will become."

In tandem with the development of Quorum, Baldet said JP Morgan created a software development kit (SDK) aimed at encouraging developers to create applications.

Baldet went on to describe the project as "an additional choice" in the company's toolkit of software offerings aimed at solving business problems.

Notably, Quorum is the second major blockchain-inspired offering to come out of the JP Morgan's technology labs. Earlier this year, the bank showcased Juno, a project it called a "distributed crypto-ledger" that was designed to enable quick value transfers between network parties.

The developers behind Juno departed the bank earlier this year to form their own startup, Quartz reported in July.

Inside Quorum

According to JP Morgan, the project was developed following discussions during the first ethereum developer conference (Devcon1) in 2015.

"While speaking with Jeff Wilcke of EthLab there, we recognized that there was a potential overlap between his goal to build a voting-based consensus mechanism to replace proof-of-work, and our goal to build a high-speed, permissioned ledger," Baldet explained
134  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETC rising to 0.01btc ? on: September 27, 2016, 05:29:56 PM
IS ETC is a cloned of Ethereum? why people keep choosing this coin ? Because you guy's can earn more bitcoin on it , Imo i will choose Ethereum because it has a really big potential when it comes of trading , It is very easy to sell and buy where more investors are choosing it from exchange website and coinbase offered also that you can buy using it.

You could be right. If the ETC attract a lot of development fund, the price could rise a lot. So it is worth the risk.
135  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-09-17] Steam Switched Back to Zero-Confirmation Bitcoin Transactions on: September 17, 2016, 08:38:33 AM
"For now, it remains unclear as to what has caused this transaction confirmation switch. There was no official communication from either Steam or BitPay regarding this change.It is possible the company was experimenting with some settings, although it seems a bit odd to do so.

Requiring zero confirmations for transactions is often seen as a security risk. Bitcoin double spends may occur at any given time. This is why Steam has partnered with BitPay to process cryptocurrency payments. If a double-spend were executed, the payment processor would be responsible for any financial losses.

To be more precise, BitPay would be held responsible based on which risk settings Valve has set for the Steam platform. It is good to see the platform process Bitcoin payments quicker again. We can only hope to see some statistics regarding Bitcoin usage on the Steam platform in the future."
136  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Trading Platforms? on: September 04, 2016, 04:52:41 PM
Hi All,

I've been trading across a few exchanges for a while now, and was thinking about writing my own platform using the API's to combine the exchanges together and add some advanced charting and analysis - but then was wondering if something like that already exists since it would be a rather large project for my free time - and I'd rather use the time to trafe.

I've seen a solution called coinigy which claims to do something similar to what I was - but there isn't too much information about it on here - so would feel reluctant to trust my account credentials with such a service.

Are any people on here using any specialist, trusted platforms - or is it more common just to use the web front ends that are provided by the exchanges?

Thanks for your help

this sounds interesting to me.
there are already bots that have most of the exchanges and you only put your API keys in it and trade, but not an online platform. using a bot you have to run it on your system which then have to be on but on an online platform like a website it can be run 24/7 which sounds good.

the only thing similar that comes to my mind is https://cryptrader.com/ which I used a while back but the functionality of it was so limited and I was not willing to pay for the other account.

Where do you buy the bots for the trading?
137  Economy / Speculation / Re: PANIC BUYING !!!!!!! on: August 20, 2016, 08:30:10 AM
i think we should worry more about the fact that mark karpeles still holds like 400-500k btc. the bitfinex hackers can't dump all their coins at once without getting noticed. they have to mix and sell their coins in batches of 5-10btc per time. with such a pace the market won't feel it.

I'd say that the market would rather feel the lack of 120,000 bitcoins that got stolen at Bitfinex. In this way, if an exchange is hacked every month (okay, every other month), the price of remaining bitcoins would certainly hit the sky (and then the moon)...

And Bitcoin would become as rare as hens' teeth

getting coins off the market will definitely have a good impact on the price eventually, but well, these coins that are off the market right now, will at some point find their way back one way or the other. but then again, i am glad the reality is different.
But as we saw getting coins off the market does not have a good impact on the price if they have gone through hacking an online wallet.

You are not given to change the simple truth that price depends on the balance of supply and demand. If supply is diminished (for whatever reason) whereas demand remains the same, the price will necessarily rise. Indeed, hacks like that of Bitfinex influence negatively both supply and demand (people may start buying less and selling more having less faith and trust in Bitcoin)...

But you still can't escape the laws of market price determination
That's true, the hack has make the market affected a bit but we have recovered now as evidence by the price increase again. The overall principle will always apply in bitcoin which you have mentioned the law of supply and demand and since we are increase in numbers, demand will eventually increase.

Hacks and spikes in Bitcoin's price are already well-known by us, the wallet holders. This is how Bitcoin went up from nothing to hundreds of dollars. We're going to recover and like every time, we're then going to get the price even higher than before the hack. Plus the halving, I predict we're all gonna have a good time soon! Cheesy

We are all expecting  on that, on having a good time in the future. Even bitcoins suffer  drop price but we all know that  bitcoin price would recover and even rise its price even higher. Even what circumstances  may happen to bitcoin in the future for sure it would  definitely increase its price.
Majority of us here believe that the price of bitcoin will be more better in the future as we were able to make money on our investment. Panic buying and selling can happen anytime but we should be more focus on our goal and buy as much as possible.

That is right. I do not panic buy or sell. I will buy the bitcoin when the price is low and sell when the price is too high.

138  Economy / Speculation / Re: PANIC BUYING !!!!!!! on: August 05, 2016, 10:53:05 AM
Now may not be a bad time to buy a bunch. Actually about 12 hours ago was the best time to buy a lot. It looks like it is recovering nicely now but there could be another drop.

really not the right time to buy, while I've heard about bitfinex got hacked. the price will likely continue to fall.

http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-drops-12-exchange-hack-amplifies-price-decline/

Bitcoin wont stay under 500 dollars i will give it 1 week to get back to the 600 dollars and it will, give time to people to get this cheap coins around, with a 20% discount, but the hacker will dump the coins if hasnt started already doing.

so many market exchanger got hacked now. i just wonder, why they don't care about their security website? and why always member got loss, i just do not get it.

Two factors are at play. First, people are greedy (looks like an inside job), and, second, people are careless in general (often don't follow necessary precautions)

It could be a inside job. Several other exchanges use the similar system and they are not hacked.
139  Economy / Speculation / Re: PANIC BUYING !!!!!!! on: July 21, 2016, 01:36:13 PM
panic buying at bitcoin Huh
hmm... maybe yess today bitcoin strong, we rise arround 3-4% maybe next day we will see bitcoin rise to $700
Probably within two days we can see the $700 Mark.The profit made from buying or selling Bitcoin gives immense pleasure to anyone..
Let us just be conservative, maybe before the end of the month we can see that as I believe that is so close to happen and the moment we can achieve that price it will start to slowly grow or steady with the price range.

Yeah price is rising and at a moment price is $680 so we may see the price of $700 very soon and I am very much confident that in next month we may even touch the price of $800.
It is good to hear that most of the supporters here are very optimistic of the big price increase for the year, that is good because we are pushing the price with the positive energy and with the increasing number of users we could see the price increase in the near future.

The increased users can improve the price of the bitcoin. It might take several years to increase user numbers.
140  Economy / Speculation / Re: Back to $ 400 soon? on: July 07, 2016, 08:42:02 AM
Back down to $280
We are not going to see the value if Bitcoin ever that low again but it would be good for most people because I could buy allot more coins then. \
The Bitcoin at the moment is pretty expensive but we have to live with it if we want to make money.

That value could only happen when there is a big bad news about bitcoin and people become panic and sell.
