Let's keep this thread to ZEN only topics, please.

I think it is related to this news.
"Zclassic Holders Will Get Bitcoin Private ( BTCP) After the Fork."
So expecting the fork, people started buying ZCL , which got its price pumped up.
The usual bulsh*** fork that happens too often lately to make something popular.

the 'best' most expensive probably. Lots of coins to mine on this one.
I would say Vega 56 and the 1070s follow next, then RX5xx.

Anybody noticed low earnings last day on space pool?

I noticed big jumps in hashrate in and out , probably due to the nicehak users 'getting' our profits Smiley
145  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Nanopool now has an Electroneum pool! on: December 20, 2017, 06:24:40 PM
50% no, but its steady going down the past few days.

last 5 days - dropped from 348 to 199.
199 257 267 229 348

but it can be contributed to many things. First probably is there has been lots of people coming in and going off ETN since its price dropped significantly, then went up a bit, then again dropped.
Lets not forget also a lot of auto-switchers who follow whattomine and switch constantly. difficulty and hashrate has been going up and down ..etc.

I agree that RX570/580 is very good on the LBRY when dual mining with ETH, but for me its not worth it.  Too much electricity, too much problems if you have 6+ GPUs and your electrical system is not scaled for this.
dual mine vs electricity usage Works much more efficient on nvidias. But thats my opinion. That is why I dont dual mine on my ATIs, only on my Nvidia.

example:  RX570 - single mine ether, 125Watts,  dual mine ether+lbry  goes to 180-185watts.
Nvidia 1060 stuck at 85-90 watts (with lower TDP but still efficient mining hashrate).  dual mine eth+lbry.

120Volts (USA) x 15 A fuse.  1800watts.
you can safely load up to 80% which is roughly 1450 Watts.  Anything above you risk.

Do not forget that you may have other things on this fuse as well, it is not per socket, but per room or rooms.
i.e. even if you use two sockets in the same room, they would be on the same fuse/breaker.  Sometimes even 2 rooms can share this 15A (i.e. 1x 15A for 2 bedrooms)


RX580 Dual mine is power hungry and is using way too much.  
Try single mining and you should be ok.

how many secure nodes do you guys expect in a few months? right now is about 2000. im thinking 5000-6000 in 6 months?

its actually 3529 right now.

I would predict we would reach 5000 in 1 month or 2.
The rewards would drop to 30-45$ per month if the price stays the same. I doubt it will ever reach high rewards for having secure node and it seems this is not the idea behind the secure nodes anyway.
150  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: rx580 low mh/s on: December 12, 2017, 11:41:42 PM
in GPU-Z view - yes. 
from the wall - probably not 75w.

152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: how much should i go over the electric usage for mining before utility storms in on: December 12, 2017, 07:59:15 AM
Utility companies are private not public.
you pay for what you use. Why would they care.
If you use more than the internal electrical wiring can handle it will either stop if more A fuse will kick in, or in bad wiring case - wires may get hot and eventually you risk fire.
You can calculate. Just go and check out your fuse for the place. Usually electrical outlets are on  15A which can be loaded constantly around 80%, which would be roughly 1440 watts. That assumes nothing else is connected on the same fuse. Sometimes 1 fuse can be for two rooms, etc.
Assuming residential use and 120volts

I think there is something else to the story which your friend is not telling you.

The main problem seems Nanopool scheme is good for the Bigger miners.
That is why I think smaller miners get smaller profits vs what they estimated or what they used to get on the other smaller pools.
Mainly because of static high difficulty and share ratio and the fact some very big miners are on Nanopool.

Imagine one having 12-13000 hashes (there are miners in nanopool with even 1,000,000 hashrate) vs one having 2000 hashes.

That has always been the thing with mining.
Go mine on a pool where most of the miners have similar rate to yours or at least there are not that many miners who have much higher rate than yours. And of course you have to take into account the time to find blocks on smaller pools.

After 24hrs my results are still lower than I expected, but acceptable I guess.
 Given the fact the network hashrate and difficulty has jumped last 24hrs too which may contribute as factor in comparison to past days results.

The high static difficulty 120000, PPLNS with 6 hrs for Nanopool and the very high min payout amount suggests they don't want hoppers and want steady miners who would continue to use their pool - i.e. Bringing more profit for them as well because of the high number of people who will stay.  

Pretty good profit strategy and pretty good timing (right after NH is gone).  I think it was not coincidence that Nanopool created the ETN pool 2 days ago.
They saw a big profit perspective.

Apart from all the above, overall the pool stability should be good. From which we would benefit as well. I like that they have nice API to which I can connect and get the mining details to put into my dashboards.
What I don't like is that Nanopool now has more than 50% of the network hashrate. I don't like monopoly, it always gives power for someone (if they want) to screw other people or implement 'hidden tactics'.  
Even with 2-3% 'hidden' profits, imagine the overall profit and usually not many people would notice.

 I will mine for 12-24 more hrs and do another comparison and analysis to see whether I would stay or go.
155  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: Pool.Electroneum.Space - Best ETN Mining Pool on: December 09, 2017, 08:17:34 AM
c'est la vie.
Pool.Electroneum.Space  started going down out around 9-10 pm GMT.  Few hours later and it was a mess. Up and down, up and down.
Then lost quite a lot of its users and hashrate who switched to the new big player in town.

156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Nanopool now has an Electroneum pool! on: December 09, 2017, 08:00:48 AM
5 hrs mining and very few ETNs. It is ridiculous.
Something is very very wrong with ETN and Nanopool.  I remembered now why I stopped using them back in the ETH/ZEC days.
For now my earnings seem half of what I usually get on other pools for the same hashrate.

Also noticed there are a lot of miners with huge hashrates which seem to dominate and may be get the better "share".

Killowatt if you are in USA or  TPLINK HS110 if you are in Europe/Asia would do the trick too.

One thing I noticed with the secure nodes, there is quite a lot of    sys: no communication between node and server And a downtime is marked in the Tracker even though node is fully functioning at the time, here are enough peers connected, blocks updated, etc.
sometimes even shows hours...Anybody have logical explanation?

159  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Modified GPU BIOS for Mining on: December 07, 2017, 08:55:00 PM
willi9974:  It is very good rate for XMR.
average is somewhere between 700 to  740 per card  rx570.
160  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Owners of GTX 1070, what is your hashrate? on: December 04, 2017, 08:19:43 PM
Helios45:  I would not goto 60% TDP on the 1070.  Hashrate drops a lot at that Power %.
Try with 65 or 70%.  Keep around 100-110 watts.
Also try to get the temperature around 55C.  May need to set fan to 35%
