1541  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 5 or 6 GPU Motherboard Alternative to H81 BTC Pro and ASROCK Anniversary Edition on: April 23, 2017, 07:28:49 PM
So I ordered both the AB350 Gaming K4 and the AB350 Pro 4.  I got the Gaming K4 in yesterday. 

In my tests; only 4x Nvidia cards worked with Ubuntu 16.04.  I tried a lot of different bios settings; there might be one I missed, or a future bios update that enables 6x Nvidia: but for now these aren't worth it IMO.  Also might work with 6x amd cards; I only have 4x 470s, so I can't test that.

I expect the Pro 4 to have similar results.

Used this CPU:

and this RAM:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233982

as i suspected these motherboard are not for 6 x gpu not good for gpu mining, also without the double molex there is risk to fry something with gpu that have high consumption

you can try to do abandon transaction in the transaction windows that appear with right click, and send it again with proper fee or use an accelerator to make it faster like this one(which i think is the only one) https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/
1543  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin digital gold or digital cash? on: April 23, 2017, 07:21:07 AM
it has both the property fo digital cash, but also a store of value, because digital cash would not have any store of value, all the fiat currency are the worst thing to hold for a long time, you would only lose money

bitcoin it's like gold that was turned to cash and can be used far more easily than carrying gold around, the similarity is also very obvious, like the mining aspect, probably satoshi was inspired by a variant of gold that do not require trust and was decentralized

Without a level of utility value, bitcoin cannot be a store of value.

what do you mean , bitcoin is accepted in many shop, therefore there is a utility and consequently a store of value
1544  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why doesn't North Korea open up a bitcoin exchange? on: April 23, 2017, 07:15:45 AM
because they feel not safe to have one, i remember an article say that they had an hackers stealign a large amount of bitcoin in korea, don't remember now if south or north but the point stand

their exchange would be utterly unsecure and none will trust it, also in korea the adoption is not that high like japan people don't care too much about bitcoin there
1545  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where to find safety in a hard fork? on: April 23, 2017, 07:12:54 AM
what he said could be true if exchange didn't say already that they will list BU as an altcoin, therefore the value will not be affected on the main chain too much, we see that investors already pumped again the value to what it was before

this mean that in the case of anyone spending two times on both chain, he/she will likely end with more value than today and not less like he say, the best thing to do is holding for now and see what happen
1546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much risk in bitcoin investement ? on: April 23, 2017, 07:05:40 AM
the same risk you can find in other stocks market, but i actually believthat bitcoin is more secur,e since this is something new, the attention can get only higher

you can safely invest at least 33% of what you have in bitcoin, and anyway it applies always the rule to invest only hat you can afford to lose

just be aware to no fall for those pump and dump traps that you see they are there mostly because of fud and manipulation, keep holding for a much greater value than what we have today
1547  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should Bitcoin Core be like the iPhone app Bitcoin Billionaire, mining-wise? on: April 22, 2017, 10:37:02 AM
there was a proposal for getting something by running a full node, without tapping or anything, and i remember that user that were runnign a node via tor were getting payed not long time ago

but what you suggest doesn't make, sense why incorporate a faucet when you can just go there on freebit.co and resolve your catpcha and get your peanuts in bitcoin?

and btw the tiemout is there to ensure that you don't spam with your bot to solve as many captcha as you want and get more than what the faucet can handle...
1548  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: which miner program for my hardware setup on: April 22, 2017, 10:21:16 AM
usually to mien bitcoin you need cgminer nothing else or you look at bfgminer you can find them here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=42.0

the diff now is crazy high, not comparable with 2011 and 2012, 2013 was the last year of gpu mining with bitcoin, if you don't have an asic now and 0.05 elcectricity you are wasting time here
1549  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reminder: Be Open and Helpful To New People To Bitcoin on: April 22, 2017, 08:21:27 AM
this apply to new miners too not only traders, they don't know what a rig is, which is a normal computer after all with 6 gpu instead of one

teaching them these easy things will make bitcoin more exposed to possible greatest adoption, and make also possible to have better decentralization

because more buyers more bitcoin in the hand of more people instead of few etilist
1550  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why ASIC BOOST is necessary. on: April 22, 2017, 08:15:30 AM
Current mining profit margins are roughly 1%.

ASICBOOST increases power efficiency 20%.

That increases profit margin to roughly 20%.

That is a two thousand percent increase in profit margin for anyone using an ASICBOOST compatible miner.

That, and that alone, is the only reason anyone would be in favor of it.  It offers a monumental competitive advantage over other miners.

what make you think that those "other miners" don't have access to asic boost, it's not different than gpu mning in the end everyone will have the same speed, this is about more efficiency but it's the same

if all miners have the same advantage no miner have any advantage
1551  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dear Satoshi Nakamoto on: April 22, 2017, 07:45:47 AM
it doesn't make sense to ask satoshi, the whole bitcoin thing is based on consensus, which is the point of decentralization, having one man decide anything go against this, therefore the opinion of satoshi is pointless

Satoshi already commented a bit on the blocksize debate here:
https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2015-August/010238.html

this wasn't him at all, and it was already debunked long time ago, the last message form satoshi is in 2010, every other after that it's not him or there is not proof that it's him

1553  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: April 21, 2017, 07:29:33 AM
OK, will try that. I have 1.6 ghs and haven't found a block in 48 hours....

very strange diff is not that high, with the open source version that was way slower, and this current diff i was finding 10 blocks a day

sp you need to check if it work because last tiem i got a reject with your build
1554  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC up??? on: April 21, 2017, 07:24:17 AM
Why is BTC up with the BU/ Segwit and dev roadblock.

any views?

You mean the miner roadblock? It's the miners who can't come to agreement on any proposal.

i did not mean either, raver referring to DEV in the larger sense of coin tec dev that has come to a halt and the implications for future DEV. No "dev" and in segwit supporters that are sometimes referred to dev

because having higher fee won't stop bitcoin to go up, i mean traders don't care about fee they have their coins sitting on exchange all the time and pump and dumpthe value to get more, for them the fee is also not different than the one they are paying already ont he exchange

and scaling issue is only going to stop average joe to jump in, and guess what? average joe are not the one that make the value going up, you need rich people, and guess what again? rich people don't care about paying $1 in fee...

but this last raise is due probably to bitfinex deposit issue, but the bottom is established at $1000+ already
1555  Economy / Economics / Re: Big Reasons Why Many Families Are Feeling Extreme Financial Stress on: April 21, 2017, 07:15:40 AM
Leave big cities, buy a big house with a big garden near to the sea. You can get your fish, vegetables, fruits for free. Stop being big companies' bitch. You don't have to smoke marlboro, grow your own weed. As long as your the only one who's smoking, nobody would know it.

If you can't take the risks, then stop crying and keep sucking.

where? it's not like everyone could do this, therefore it's already not feasible, also big house like that in the middle of nothing, and alone, is very subject to the thefts

add to this other problem like internet connection, that would be more difficult to have or probably really slow, and you can easily say that thi is not a solution for sure
1556  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitmain and the ASICBoost allegations on: April 21, 2017, 06:04:22 AM
how is saving 20% energy equal to have 20x more revenue, doesn't make sense to me, also wasn't asicboost just 20% more hashrate and not about efficiency?

now you have that you need 5-6 asic to generate the same income as before, while consuming 5 times more, if you consume 1/5 less, you are only generating 20%+ more

doing an easy math you have that right now all the asic(nethash) consume 1% of what they earn per day(18,7k in consumption against almost 2M in earning), 20% of 1% is 1/5 of 18.7K, which is only equal on saving 3,3 bitcoin...

edit missed a zero
1557  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is Bitcoin price so much higher on Bitfinex? on: April 21, 2017, 05:55:11 AM
Because it is currently very hard to get your currency (USD for example) out of Bitfinex due to some issues with their banking relationship.  This leads to increased pressure to BUY Bitcoins in order to move the Bitcoins of of the Bitfinex platform.  Since there is extra pressure to buy the price goes up.

they are stop accepting fiat deposit last tiem i've checked, not that you can't get out your bitcoin or you money, it's only hard to get them in

i find irritating those exchange that keep operating with those issue, just to squeeze few cent from the remainig trading activity, which would also look almost dead in this case
1558  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is getting serious ... Total CryptoCurrency Market Cap to $30 billion !! on: April 21, 2017, 05:52:52 AM
market cap is bullcrap bubble number.

i can make an altcoin with 5 trillion coins.
put just 1 coin onto an exchange sell it to myself for $1..

thus my coins are now valued at $1 a coin.
making the market cam $5 trillion.



now for the bubble bursting info that blow people minds they will not like to admit to.

1. there is not $29billion in FIAT sat in exchange bank accounts to 'back' the valuations of all the coins in existance.
2. the price of a coin can ba manipulated easily.

it does not take $16mill to raise the price of bitcoin by $1 to make the bitcoin market cap rise by $16m
infact many times i have seen the bitcoin price rise by $1 by trading very little. even if that very little actually spent made the bubble market cap jump by $16m



its time people started to get out their calculators and see reality


well not true, those altcoin have an actual volume that back their value it's not like there is only one buyer that bought once and they ended on coinmarketcap with that capitalization, what you say don't work

for bitcoin the same the real marketcap probably is way less than 20B because not all the 16M coins are on the market available to purchase, but all the exchange combined hold an amount of coin which is at least on the range of few millions

so there is a high chance that few Billions are in the exchange and in private trading that back up the bitcoin value
1559  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Jihan blocks segwit on LTC: price crashes on: April 21, 2017, 05:45:54 AM
even if segwit was the most amazing scaling solution in the world, it wont help litecoin that much right now since litecoin barely has any merchants.  it was just a p&d.

I think Litecoiners themselves would be the first to admit they won't have a capacity problem for a very long time, if ever. It would shine a light on them and attract more quality developers though.

It would do more than that. All of the various side chain devs could look to litecoin instead of bitcoin. Litecoin could pass over bitcoin in short order if that happened. How would you like LN to go with litecoin instead?

Or people could just use both BTC and LTC with LNs. BTC doesn't have to change, and can be used for high fee, but higher security large transactions, and LTC handle small transactions with small fees. Everyone wins, at least in the next few years. I'm almost certain that if LTC gets SegWit, it will buy BTC at least a year to figure out its own scaling problem (SegWit or another route), should it continue to have one if users decide not to use alternative technology.

So I think SegWit will happen on LTC for at least the reason of relieving some pressure on BTC and allowing it to do nothing for the time being. We will just likely have to wait a month or two, as "LTC Round Table" meeting is in June from what I've read.

not a good solution, litecoin is even more instable than bitcoin, merchants don't accept it for a reason, also if what you say was a possibility why it was not done before?

it's not like litecoin need segwit to work side by side with bitcoin, also i was more in favor of sidechain than using altcoin to help bitcoin
