What are your intensity for 560 cards?

I dunno why bit I’m not expecting BAKKT to have that much of an effect on the price. I remember similar hope when Gemini were about to open their doors only for it to turn into a limp dick.
Will BAKKT give us a big pump?
Acutally, we don't need a short pump. The effect of bakkt (like the halvening) will be felt after several months. The first Bakkt product will be physically settled and delivered 1 day Bitcoin futures (Bitcoin “backed” contracts). Meaning you trade futures each day, but then you get 1 Bitcoin in your Bitcoin balance from a contract. It is almost certain that ICE will buy Bitcoins via OTC deals from Gemini and other exchanges (Coinbase, Bitstamp and Kraken). This should lead to a gradual rise of the price in 2019. |

Oh, we are a few bucks lower today. My hat doesn't give a shit |

anybody know what is causing this huge dump??
"huge"?!?dude, it was like $8 or something!!! thank goodness we have recovered from it My heart is still racing from this face-ripping volatility. Any recommendations for medicin to calm myself down again jojo? Might need horse tranquilizer... I have to go to bed and I don't know if I will be able to fall asleep after such a roller coaster today. Let's hope the price will stabilize tommorow !  |

My guess is 9405. Not that I am excited about that price, but 50% increase since now is the most, unless bakkt is paired with ETF... Then moooon |

"Still, Bakkt's product is unique from the ones trading on CME and Cboe inasmuch as it is a physically-settled future, not a cash-settled one. That means traders, at the end of the contract lifespan, will receive a payout in bitcoin itself, not cash, if he or she is on the winning side of the bet." If I understand it correctly, bakkt will buy real bictoins associated to each new contract. These bitcoins will just change hands, depending who is winning, and not be sold outside, thus creating a closed exchange. If this is so, these bitcoins will be removed from the exchanges, which will lead to an increase of the price. |

After 2-3 days experimenting, I can say that there are enough alternatives to Claymore's miner. With xmrig, xmr-stack and especially SRB I can achieve stable 450-500 h/s for tahiti 280 cards, 715-750 h/s for hawaii 390, and 910-930 for polaris 570 and 580 cards (with the usual bios mod and overclock as for ethereum). I don't need Claymore' s eth miner anymore also. Xmr is more profitable than eth, and with the coming reduction of the eth reward the minig of eth will be near its end. Thanks to Claymore for all his job so far, but it is time to move on! How to do this? I have 580 and get ~600 h/s. Please, what is you miner and settings? Windows 10, Adrenaline 18.6.1, bios mod and overclock (as high memory frequency as can - say 2170), srbminer with intensity 58 or 59. That's it. With other miners there is a trick to reach 880 h/s but not more. I am lazy to test each card, so I left them with ETH overclock, which gives around 930 h/s. I guess I can reach 950 with some optimisations, but this is not my concern now. P.S. I still can't find a pool that pays close to the calculators. So far I got 20-30% less than I should. Which pool pays the most? I think it has to be with a hashrate above 10% of the total hashrate, so that the payments are more equalized to the best possible. (Those who advertise their home pools please don't answer... Thanks, but no thanks!) |

I don't need Claymore' s eth miner anymore also. Xmr is more profitable than eth, and with the coming reduction of the eth reward the minig of eth will be near its end. Thanks to Claymore for all his job so far, but it is time to move on! I liked Claymore because you got that remote manager which shows you all the GPU temps and hashrates. And with XMR-STAK it doesn't work. You need to either monitor on the pool or monitor by the HTTP interface. You also can't remotely execute a reboot.bat file. Yes XMR is more profitable but pretty soon people will discover this and switch over and the profitabililty will be the same between both based on the same power consumption. Just give it a few more weeks. I will say less than a week... XMR difficulty go down just after the Fork but it is increasing very fast. XMR has been more profitable for nearly half a year. The reason is that most of the biggest mining farms (if not all) use other OS with custom miners for eth. If for any of you with 3-4 rigs it is hard to change the OS and tune the miner, think about hundreds and thousands of rigs. For now windows miners give 20%-ish more hash than on other OS. But even some day the profit for eth is equalized with xmr, I will not switch to eth. The HF may be postponed for 2019, because of the lack of miners on the testnet (who does HF on weekends anyway?), but it is a matter of several months to happen. And finally, the POS will come. So IMO there is no reason to mine eth anymore. |

For some time whattomine shows that bittube is the most profitable coin. Have you tried it? It is with a variant of CN heavy. I wonder what the best hashes are for 390's and 280's. If I remember right my 390s were around 400-500 h/s. Are there any tweaks for this algo?
P.S. For 390's I achieved 720-750 h/s for V8 with xmrig and 880 h/s for 570 and 580. I guess I can reach 950 with SRB but I have to upgrade my driver, which is a pain lol.

For me 280x have been doing 500h/s and the better one 550h/s on claymores, 290x at 840 h/s at total of 850W, with xmrig 280x are doing 460h/s, the best one is 500h/s and 290x at 790h/s. total usage 960W
I lost about 280H/s in total, and power consumption is 110W higher. Is there any better miner for 280x/290x?
xmrig on 290X - what config for 790 ? mine drop from 840 to half of that The best I achieve for 390 is between 655 and 750 H/s (xmrig, V8 wich is by default of course). For 280x 450 - 550 H/s. For 570 and 580 - 750-770 H/s. Stable for 5-6 hours so far. I guess with SRB 570 and 580 can do much better. For 280's I use intensity 920. For all others 1016. I change nothing else. |

After softfork 8.0 on Monero network, this miner became one of the best for AMD cards. Unfortunately, it does not support cards of the R9 280 generation. It would be nice to add support for these old, but rather productive video cards.
I thought this miner works with Tahiti cards R9 280's. I know that it supports Hawaii - 290 and 390's, so why not 280's? Anyone still mining with the older Radeon 7970/280X or the R9 290 GPUs?
Was wondering what config you guys are using and what stability you guys get with this software, I am looking for an alternative to the Claymore XMR miner which will become obsolete when XMR forks on Oct 18th.
I tried to run the srmbminer on my 7970 with settings --cgpuintencity 15 --cgpuworksize 8 -cgputhreads 2, at the stock frequencies (925/1375) I got 360H / s on v7, its less than old claymore 11.3 (450)... but clay not support v8 PS Guys when need to change algo for Monero mining? Any dates? |

Is it possible to mine with Claymore's miner other coin with v7 algo that won't fork? I've read V8 is 20% more power demanding.

I appreciate your outlining of scenarios that you believe to be probable and most probable, but really it seems to me that you are not really accounting for the vast array of BTC price scenarios – even if you are attempting to stay in the middle of the road – and you are not putting your scenarios into a kind of probability range – which certainly each of us are going to frame these probabilities a bit differently. Furthermore, it seems that even your optimistic scenario ends up with John McAfee eating his dick on TV.
I am going to attempt to elaborate on your scenarios by adding more scenarios and assigning probabilities to them. By the way, I do agree with any premise that BTC’s performance in 6-7 years will partly depend upon how it performs in the next 2-3 years.
BTC’s price will be: First column in 2-3 years Second column in 6-7 years
Below $1k = Less than 3% Less than 1.5%
$1k to $3k = 8% to 12% 7% to 9%
$3k to $5k = 10% to 15% 8% to 12%
$5k to $10k = 10% to 15% 8% to 12%
$10k to $19k = 15% to 18% 12% to 15%
$19k to $30k = 15% to 18% 15% to 18%
$30k to $50k = 15% to 18% 15% to 18%
$50k to $100k = 12% to 15% 15% to 18%
$100k to $500k = 5% to 10% 10% to 15%
$500k to $1mill = 2% to 4% 10% to 15%
More than $1mill = Less than 1% Less than 5%
I’m kind of pulling the above estimates out of my ass (straight); however, my point still remains that each set of circumstances has probabilities, even though in the end, we are going to arrive at ONLY one spot once we get there. Nonetheless, from our current perspective, we cannot rule out extremely bearish or extremely bullish scenarios, even though the probabilities seem to be on a kind of upwardly skewed bell curve.
In other words you believe the price will stay below 3K with probability 15% and below 5K with 30% probability for the next 3 years? I wouldn't give that much - 1-2% tops. The most important question is when the effect of mass adoption (including Wall Street companies) is about to happen? I don't think we are near that event. Not even close. So the price will continue to follow its previous pattern. For the last 4 years we had 100 fold increase between the lowest point and the ATH in 2017. It is logical that the same increase will happen in a similar time frame unless the mass adoption is near completition. But let's say that it goes much slower, say 1/4 of the speed of the previous pattern. In other words 6K->600k/4=150k is achievable price within 4 years. But let's say it is not highly probable. Then again, I think that 40K is absolutely normal price in the next 4 years. |

Wow a 15000BTC sale brings the price down for only several hundreds? Bullish!  That is exactly the amount sold from 6600 to 6200-ish in Bitfinex. The price looks stable for now, only 5% loss is no big drama. It looks more like a bear trap to me. Of course, I agree that this year so far was a bears shitshow. All these people clearly have little faith and patience (or at least they had before but lost it now). But sooner or later the selling bears will dissapear. Let's hope this was the last bear selling at 6K range. I clearly remember last year how many people sold thousands of bitcoins when the price was below 3K. Now it is a rare thing to see a sell above 1K. In the next years probably we will be talking of hundreds-bitcoin-whales, then tens-bitcoin-whales In gloomy days like these, I try to imagine where the price will be in 3, 5, 10 years? There is no need to wreck my nerves by these short dips. If I just hold, I will become a millionaire way before my retirement. So, instead of selling, I prefer to buy moar bitcoins with my pathetic salary. Who knows, may be we will see new ATH sooner than expected. I don't want to be on the wrong side when this happens. Yes, I have faith that I will see it and enjoy it with my full stash intact by these shakeouts!!! If you are willing to have a time preference horizon that goes beyond 5 years, it seems that you have really decent odds of profiting stupendously by continuing to dollar cost average into BTC until then - and hoping for the best - even if you happen to be regularly investing with a "pathetic salary," as you mentioned. Of course, such hope regarding the future of BTC (and presumably BTC prices that will follow) is based on a certain kind of disparity of information in which you seem to understand the fundamentals of BTC and there are so many average Joes who either do not have a clue about BTC or they are filled with Angst or apathy regarding the extent to which bitcoin "may be valuable" (from their perspective). On the other hand, if your time horizon is way shorter, then there certainly could be some unnecessary risks - for example even less than 3 years - and you would not want to put a great amount of your money into BTC if you really needed to have that money liquid in a shorter period of time - such as less than 3 years. Very well said! I understand the technology, of course, and I am confident that my savings (which quadrupled thanks to Bitcoin) can go over $1mil one day. For now they are enough only for a small house or a nice new car. I have an appartment and a VW CC, so for now I don't need cash. The last year for me was more nervous because of the uncertainty of the forks. But now I am absolutely confident that Bitcoin is here to stay (even if traitors like Ver and Wu tried to steal the project one way or another, Bitcoin ramained what it is meant to be). With the coming bakkt and ETF in 1-2 years tops, Bitcoin will remain the first blockchain currency (and Wall Street exchange asset), so its value will never stop rising. Of course, I am not delusional. There will be dips and sideways and it will be tough to hold at those moments. Speaking of predictions, I have 3 variants for the next 7 years (after 2 halvings). 1. The bearish one: In 2-3 years the price will revisit the 20K range. In 6-7 years it will reach $40-50K. 2. The mild bullish: In 2-3 years: 40K. In 6-7 years it will reach $100K. 3. The most bullish: In 2-3: 100K. In 6-7 years it will reach $500K. I hope for the best but I can live with scenario 1. In 6 years I will still have 15 years to retirement, so I need only to buy moar and hold. |

Do you know any pool that supports v8 so I can test new version?
Wohooo! This is great news! Claymore's miners are the best both in speed and in stability esp. for older cards. |
