They got reamed by the tech media and are hoping they can avoid the same issues with the 3070 - they sure as hell better have more than 30 minutes of supply. Oh well, let's see how Big Navi turns out. we can't say nvidia driver not have any issue but nvidia driver is better than amd and nvidia fix issue faster than amd. i have amd driver issue black screen when not use screen around 20min and 18month past update last driver still have same problem LOL You have to look at the cards as a whole instead of looking at each individual card. nVidia drivers have typically been more reliable out the door but they've also been shown to consistently lower FPS in games in future driver releases. If you tend to play a mix of both new and old games you'll find the nVidia cards (in general) will lose performance with newer drivers. Compare this to Hawaii, Polaris and Navi cards which seem to improve as time goes on. Catalyst drivers still feel bloated compared to nVidia's drivers but I like AMD hardware improving with age as opposed to team green. |

I still have some Coinye (Kanye West Coin) from 2014. I imagine if he got elected President of the United States then I would be richer than Satoshi, but that's probably not going to happen.
I'll trade some Coinye for some Cosbycoin (for those of you old enough to remember that hack). Those were the good old days.

I really think litecoin is out of the game, the price of litecoin had been hilarious and stagnant since 16th February 2019, you can check the trading chart, litecoin is gradually loosing its potentially, as you so said op, although, litecoin is impossible to crash off.
Ripple and ethereum I'd really showing improvement because of good teams and new upcoming development of ETH 2.0, I strongly believe this new version will certainly increase the price of ETH maybe will hit the ATH after the one of 2017.
Litecoin really took off when Bitcoin block times and fees became insane. There's always an opportunity for Litecoin to work as a backup to Bitcoin. While Ethereum may ultimately prove to be more functional and XRP have more scalability, Litecoin has a well proven track record and a decent amount of hardware backing it. It might be a while before we see any significant price recovery though. |

ETC has a network hashrate of 5TH, ETH has a network hashrate of 250TH. It is assumed 50% of that 250 is 4GB or less (Gpus or Asics). ETC mining profitability with drop like bricks if they drop the DAG and all that 125TH hashrate shifts to it - could even be higher if the already offline 3GB gpus join in. Network hashrate will go from 5TH to ~130TH - thats a 2600% increase and will see a proportional difficulty increase, tanking profitability , so no, its not really an alternative. The ones running on expensive power who came back to ETH mining from dusty closets will go back to dusty closets or give up mining. The ones running on cheap/free power will switch over to ETC. ETC profitability will of course tank, but the network will also become much more secure (hopefully not 100TH coming from a giant ASIC farm in China). The market will typically value ETC higher and the price will rise slightly - but obviously not enough to compensate for a 25x increase in difficulty. Perhaps this will breathe new life into ETC - it's happened to other coins before. |

thanks for your interesting reply but now theres asics and fpga galore they should try and put it on system memory i can see how it would be much slower these days considering how fast ddr4 has got and soon ddr5 just an interesting idea, or they could just keep the dag size down that would be nice.
If it went to system RAM then massive cloud networking systems could 51% the network and that would destroy the value of ETH. As it stands, VB (ETH co-creator) does not seem to really appreciative the work of miners and could care less if his network is supported or not (at least this is how his comments sound). It may not be wise to invest in the most profitable coin at the current time (ETH) knowing that the coin itself laments the very miners which secure it. Of course if you're mining on NiceHash it gets converted to BTC which everybody loves haha. |

anyone help got rx480 8gb cards what should i set the -gt value to many thanks.
also why cant phoenixminer be programmed to store dag files on hardrive or in motherboard memory that way all cards could mine forever.
The reason Ethereum was able to hold off ASICs/FPGA for a long period of time was because of the heavy compute that relied on the card's VRAM. The access speed for a GPU to the VRAM is significantly faster than the access speed to a SSD or even system memory. This is why Dagger Hashimoto algo is VRAM timing and bandwidth sensitive. Somebody could always fork ETH to mine a different way but there would be no incentive to support such an endeavor. Having said that, ETC is considering rolling back the DAG size to allow 3 and 4GB cards to mine again. |

The most I've put on a HS-100 running continuously has been 1000 watts on 120V. Having said that, the HS-100 has run continuously for 4 years now without problem deployed across 10 rigs. It's good for people not looking for industrial setups and where the convenience of time saving far outweigh any profits from less efficient setups. The nice thing is I haven't had to do any maintenance on them whatsoever. They occasionally ask for a firmware update which I do after a black out.

Hi guys, hope you are doing well today.
Wanted to know, any chance to ask Claymore to update his drvfee address? As Dwarfpool is not working anymore his mining configuration may be affecting the mining process and dropping the hashrate more than it should. I don't know if that's just me, but in my case the hashrate drops significantly everytime the rig wants to connect to his Dwarfpool mining address as the pool is not working anymore. Anyone can let him know? please.
We asked him to fix this many times in the past. I also had issues with the Dwarfpool dev fee issues. I also had other issues where it fails to mine on the dev fee pool and eventually stops mining all together because the software thinks you are trying to cheat it. Very annoying because it causes the rigs to do a full hang and require a cold restart. Last time he was active in this thread was Nov 2019, he was usually very active in the past, even when he didn't make updates. Now I think he might be retired from developement. He made crazy gains since his miner was the only decent software during the 2017 market boom and probably saved up tons of ETH and just living on an island somewhere. I supposed something like that. So, we are using an out of date software that is not being maintained and is causing problems due to the developer lack of commitment. Is he even alive? I can't believe someone could just let the golden eggs chicken and just leave. Anyway, hope he fixes the problem. Thanks for letting me know... There are plenty of other capable miners that mining as well if not better than Claymore (at least on the pool reported hashes end). Just because a miner says it's giving a high rate doesn't neccessarily mean it is performing the best. A lot of lazy miners don't bother looking to make sure the pool side is reflecting what the terminal side says. If dual mining was still viable this miner would be decent but those days have for the most part passed. |

People hostility towards crypto don't know and don't want to understand that cryptocurrencies can be used for something except money laundering and paying for drugs and weapons. It's hard to make them change their mind.
That has slowly change, maybe in the early stage people are thinking like that but as the adoption increases, more and more people are already knowledgeable about bitcoin and understands its risk. Do you think government would regulate it if it has not bigger positive impact to people, no, they would just ban it and will declare illegal using it, what I'm seeing now is already an improvement, i hope people sees the same way. Honestly very few governments other than totalitarian regimes actually care about improving society. China, for example, does horrible things to some of its citizens but the net effect is China as a whole becomes stronger (at least in their eyes). The only reason the US now embraces some crypto is they are finally able to start taxing a large portion of the user base. Once government can take their cut they're all to willing to let it bloom. The US government could care less about improving people's access to money because the banks have such a stranglehold over the politicians. |

Remember the 2008 "meltdown". The US had this childish occupy Wall Street movement and it was supported by the then President of the US. 4 years after he was elected not a single CEO was jailed. Not a single SEC chair was jailed for dereliction of duty. Nobody got punished and occupy went back to the basement to play Call of Duty.
Humans are apathetic creatures when the abstraction becomes too layered. 99% of people couldn't sit through a 10 minute video on the Fed let alone tell you what it does.
Bit is the "idea of Bitcoin" going away, or is it simply part of our natural progression because of the technology available to us? The Cypherpunks have been making attempts of developing a cryptography-based digital currency. Through Bitcoin, the cat is out of the bag. The cat may be out of the bag, but this is Shrodinger's cat. We know it's out of the bag but don't know how fast it's moving  In seriousness though, crypto is nice and can give people back a certain amount of freedom that banks have taken away (why the hell can't we access money on a Sunday - computers don't care what day of the week it is). The sad reality, however, is that people will still do stupid things - myself included. How many people owning crypto still trust a central entity to hold their money instead of keeping their own private keys - way too many unfortunately. |

The entirety of the entire crypto market cap is less than the value of the fake accounts that Wells Fargo opened up without consent from its customer base in just CA alone. Kamala gave them a small slap on the hand a stern finger wag, I'm sure no bank will do anything unethical like that ever again.  But something about some guy buying marijuana with the bitcoins... |

Are you guys forgetting BTC sitting in the doldrums between $160 and $450 for essentially 2.5 years? People already now know the halvenings increased prices the last 2 times so I can assume the next halvening will not do anything to the price. More government support or bans (yes both of them) will drive price upwards. Seems many countries are happy to back it once they know they can securely collection taxation from trading.
I didn't forget that, I was here in that time! People talked about how $1k is impossible, how $500 if far away! Look where we are now, for two months over $10k, I would say it's a new bottom, from here bitcoin can just go higher. And halving will affect the price, not right away (halving never had effects on the price in the first months after halving). Believe me, we still wait to see the effects of the last halving on the price, and with this new bottom next year have chances to be really crazy for the entire crypto market and all of us! Nice read, short and positive article for all bitcoin lovers! Although bottoms for BTC have no basis in the real world unlike real mined materials like copper, I think $3k is the new $450 and $1200 is the new $160. Remember the $160 only hit because of a fat finger on BTCe. The rest of the time it was mostly above $200. The mostly is $3k where it stayed above for 1 year, and then recovered to $650-$750 pattern before the halvening hype. I'm going to forget I sold at $5 after recovery from $2  |

New project EthereumPill release
LINK REMOVED DUH
Hashrate:
1080ti - 58 mh/s
2060 - 59 mh/s
2070 - 60-62 mh/s
2080 - 63-67 mh/s
2080ti - 68-71 mh/s
3070 - 76-78 mh/s
3080 - 97-99 mh/s
3090 - 115-127 mh/s
Somebody must be getting some serious traction to keep posting these same scam github links for the Eth pill. I wonder if the mods have a forum filter that could be applied without filtering half of the Ethereum posts. I reported the offending post already. Noobs, in case you don't know, there are a lot of hacked/sold accounts posting links to a fake GITHUB with malware. |

I guess most of you missed the 2011 run to $33 when people were mining a block (50BTC) a day. Of course 4 months later BTC dropped to $2 and proudhon was prancing around screaming Bitcoin is a bubble.
$33-->$2.
All of a sudden $20k to $3k doesn't seem so bad. We're only 1/2 down, still better than the $1200 run which sat $160 to $450 for 2.5 years.

As a physician, this virus has truly been a wake up call. Not because of the virus itself which is not particularly alarming, but rather the blatant misdirection and lies by the media. Most of the reports you see on TV couldn't pass a 5th grade science test let alone talk about antibody classification. There is a definitely a wanton narrative to this whole pandemic - unfortunately it is way above my pay grade.

As brainboss said you have opportunities on this forum to make a little money, but the single best thing on this forum is knowledge. No use acquiring power when you don't know what to do with it or how to keep it. Same can be said with money.
Tips for crypto
1) You private keys are your money. If somebody else is holding your keys, they have your money
2) Lots of malware links running around, pay attention before clicking every link
3) When you have an opportunity to work do it. Even if you don't get rich you still learn.
