Lightning fast with both AMD and Nvidia GPUs.

Can we get some actual screenshots or examples how fast it is with a couple of cards?

Assuming a 60 second block time, 0.0216 BTC worth of coins will be mined a day. You'll be spoiling miners. All 3 of them.

ICO + scrypt = pffff Tongue

The laziest/scammiest combo ever existed in crypto.

2FA in every wallet would be amazing!

But then again I fail to see how 2FA could be implemented in a bruteforce-resistant and more importantly decentralized manner.

It doesn't look like it's an attack, it's likely an issue with Geth.

Need more people to start up Obfuscation please. I would like to thoroughly test out the system, and that requires a lot of people to turn it on with a minimum of 500 Dnet and 2 rounds. more if possible

Does turning obfuscation on interferes with staking?
1707  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hillbilly sells house and goes all in on Litecoin... WTF? on: September 17, 2016, 02:35:17 AM
Litecoin... please.

As much as I've been around this forum it's still beyond me while anyone would be interested in LTC.

It's only one of the first copy paste coins with literally zero things to add. It should have been dead long ago.

I feel like LTC's value solely depends on a bunch of idiots - for lack of a better word.

Or depositing BTC to an exchange, trading that BTC to another coin, withdrawing that coin and turning that into cash or back to BTC on another exchange.

the exchange knows your addresses and might have your real details too. and most of them are gonna be very keen to please law enforcement. I use them myself for that but i'm not doing anything wrong and don't care about that.

They not necessarily know your address. I don't do anything illegal but I have never given my info to any exchange and I still can use plenty of them. All the big ones included.

A centralized exchange knowing your identity I think defeats the purpose of crypto. And exchanges are always a target of hack attempts so generally it's just a matter of time before they get hacked at which point there's a good chance user info leaks as well.



To be on topic, on paper it's nice but I suspect people behind ransomwares are smart enough to not get caught (hope I'm wrong though).

And what if they sell their BTC outside of exchanges, the unsuspecting new owner of the coins gets his door kicked in?

Another copy paste Asic coin that gets distributed by the same few scrypt Asic owners who keep checking this sub.

I miss GPU algos coins.

I will never buy a build that the dev can mine with... maybe I have and that maybe part of why my miners crashs.
-i 23 to high.

I'd not buy one either unless it's something really and I mean reeeaaalllyyy good.

But, even if it was free but the miner starts mining for the dev for 2 minutes first I wouldn't use it because I tend to switch between algos frequently. With all the dual mining crap around I'd expect a fee based miner to mine for the dev in parallel, on another thread with very low intensity or just mine for the dev for a few seconds every couple minutes. Starting with a two minute downtime after every disconnect is just too much for me personally.

I can't code for shit but monetizing a profitable miner could be done so much better...

Baruk Khazad!  

Woodcutters, lend me your chainsaws!  
I come to not to bury the hatchet, but to raise it.  

Intro:  

After a brief respite from the continual hash withdrawl attacks we have seen on the network since November, we are back to the same pattern.  

A relatively large GPU farm moves in every time the difficulty drops, and moves out once it goes up.  

The activity is clearly not profitable for the attacker, but that is neither here nor there - we have to deal with it.  

Effectively the network becomes several times slower to confirm transactions, and more sporadic.  Otherwise, business as usual.  

Announcement:  

Being a public coin, how you deal with this is of course up to you.  I plan to take advantage of the ongoing attack by leveraging it as a stress test.  

So, expect a bunch of spam TX in the upcoming week.  There will also be more fees collected by woodcutters.  So, now would be a good time to turn
those spare GPUs or other skein cycles onto the network.  

Lets see what we can do.    

Enjoy!  

I'm not sure if this is something you thought about but having a secondary mining algorithm that can keep the blocks going when the main chain is stuck in a high difficulty retarget works.

Ever since Scrypt ASICs arrived a bunch of Scrypt-only coins are suffering from the same issue; ASIC miner starts mining with enormous hashrate which causes the diff to get kicked to the moon and once the big hasher leaves for greener pastures the blockchain grinds to a halt until some small miners eventually get lucky to find blocks and slowly reverse the retarget mechanism.

So in essence, a single difficulty retarget always relies on - one way or another - the single blockshain's block finding frequency which can be "attacked". The reason for that because difficulty retarget mechanisms can only ever change the difficulty once a block has been found. But if the diff is super high, it will stay that high until the next blocks. And for difficulty retargeting methods that never kick the difficulty "too high" only means the ASIC miner will mine way more blocks than it was intended.

Having multiple algorithms (PoW or PoS) eliminate that.

I'm not sure about block withholding attacks but I'd imagine having multiple algorithms would also cripple their efficiency if not eliminate them.

^Sounds like a bad model.

Though I have to say the only reason I went with 1070's instead of 1080's because the Gigabyte 1080's also only have 1 x 8 pin, just like the 1070's and those can already use 190 watts.

I love the Gigabyte OC cards but the power delivery of this series is just awful.

Yep, 3.3kk+1kk premine, broken English (residue on purse, premayningu), nothing new.
1715  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: RaiBlocks forking project on: September 09, 2016, 10:49:38 AM
Too bad.

But I'm almost certain someone with the funds will pick this project up later down the line.

We are absolutely serious with the project and want to take it to a new level for this we don’t want any hurdles at the initial stage with dumping. At a later stage even if dumping happens we will be in a good stage to buy back.
So you're basically openly admitting that you want to manipulate the market.

99% premine and locked funds are going against everything that is crypto.

This is nothing but another copy paste scam with broken English trying to ride the back of a topic (in this case sports).

We have set a low price for round one at 1 sat. Dont miss out


How desperate are you? Do you really want to scam people for what is basically a slice of pizza?

@Coin_trader What bounty do you expect from such a blatant, no effort scam?
@YongMaTheMagicCom There's no info, you just pay OP and that's it.
@samantadegrenet What more info do you need? All the info is in the OP, which translate to a blatant, retarded scam attempt.


Why do people even care as much to post to shit like this?

"LeCoinDev"

Get the fuck off with this noob bullshit, shouldn't you be back in school by now anyway?

26 developers and literally zero information (zero marketing/presentation skills) other than the usual ICO bullshit scam attempt.


Anyone who is even remotely interested in "investing" in this shit should delete their accounts and set their money on fire.


1719  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Power efficiency in altcoin hashing on: September 06, 2016, 02:02:39 PM
If a card is not mining at 100% GPU usage then the miner for that hashing algo is not optimized - simple as that.

And if you magically managed for a hashing algo to only use 10% of a GPU then people would dual mine something else with the remaining 90% to maximize profits.
But of course, there's no way to enforce a 10% GPU usage long term.

Dualmining already exists with Ethereum which mostly relies on memory intensive tasks mixed with Sia or Lbry which require calculations and not memory so they basically mostly use different parts of the GPU.
