I think my computer ended up bluescreening for some reason and when I try to start Electra it pops the following:



It then crashes and closes out.  Actually if I ignore then it did go on to open.  Looks like it won't sync the last 7 blocks though.

Great then point to a guide with the specifics of how it is done.  As I said most of the posts here complain about not being able to run Nvidia cards on PCI-E splitters or getting them working above 7 cards.  IF you were able to find a combination of parts that allows it please share the info.

There have been a rash of people complaining about accounts being hijacked.  More than likely its because user/pass was shared with other sites.   My guess is the email on your account has been changed and therefore your reset is going to a different email address.   You'll likely need to contact the admin to get it resolved.   Always use a password manager with unique passwords on every site.

No people used the same user/pass as other sites.  My account has 13 failed login attempts on it, because I use unique user/pass combination on every single site.

My guess is that other sites have been hacked and they just try all the user/pass combinations on MPH.  I've also been seeing failed login attempts to Suprnova as well.

NEVER use the same user/pass on two different sites ever.  Get a password manager like 1password, roboform, or if you have too lastpass.

Well the US was the first to get a power transmission system originally, but it was also during a period when Thomas Edison was arguing that AC power was dangerous compared to DC power.  Even though AC power was ultimately selected as the winner the influence of Edison's DC +110V - 0 - -110V 3 wire system influenced the ultimate design.  110V DC was the maximum voltage that could be used and not burn out the carbon filament of the lights at the time.  Europe later started with 110V, but switched to 220V because it allowed the power company to increase capacity without changing out the wiring at the time.  From there is was just whichever standard was adopted and never changed because the equipment switch was always far too expensive.

Yep in Europe should be plenty of power, but still something to keep in mind.   As I mentioned I was speaking from a US perspective.

Depends on what you are mining.   I have a 5x1080 rig that is still pulling in $40+ per day so it has a long way to go before it is below $1 per day.

Any idea what these VirtuaUnique coins that are getting mined in Nist5?  They don't seem to show how many blocks are required for maturity.



Don't see it listed under the Nist5 pool, but seen them show up a few times now.

People have struggled getting that many Nvidia cards working simultaneously.  You might be able to get 8 working, but it will likely take a lot of fiddling and may not work.   Nvidia's draw more power and require more PCI-E resource channels than AMD cards so at least on Windows it tends to complain and although will see the card may not work properly.  Look around there are plenty of people who have tried to do what you are doing, but as I've said I haven't seen a lot of luck with more than 6-7 Nvidia cards at once on the same system.

As for the 20A breaker it's because you will get roughly 1800W of total power at 100% load out of a 15Amp breaker.  

Assuming you're in the US with standard 120v home power.
Ohm's law = 15 amps x 120 volts = 1,800 watts

You don't want to run at full power otherwise you run the risk of popping the breaker when you have power spikes and such.  Circuits can also get hot and cause fires if they are run too close to maximum capacity 24/7.  It's just better to be safe than sorry IMO.  There have been plenty of stories of people having meltdowns/fires because they didn't pay attention to how much power they were trying to draw, especially on older wiring.  Also I presume you will have things like a monitor for setup and potentially fans running for cooling that will likely be on the same circuit.  All of those things take more power and even though you may plug them into different outlets most home power circuits will have all the outlets in a room on the same circuit.  Most home breakers are only 15A unless you are looking at a utility, laundry, or kitchen.

Sounds like someone got cold feet and bailed.  Only a matter of time before this goes back up.

Nvidia cards do not work with PCIe splitters as far as I've seen.  If you get a ASUS Prime z170-A or Pro you can probably get 7 cards working, but you'd need to likely have 2 - 850W+ PSU's in order to not fully max them.  A single 1500W might work as well, but you'd likely be pushing it.

Make sure you have a 20A breaker on the circuit you use or split between two circuits.

How often do coins become available for staking?  Seems like my wallet is only showing a small portion of my coins are actually staking.

Your local hashrate is just a measure of how many hashes are being checked per second.  Not all hashes you find are treated equally by the pool.  You can get lucky and find difficult hashes quickly or you might get unlucky and take a long time to find a low difficulty hash.  It's largely is just luck, but over time it will average out to be similar to what the miner is reporting.

1.503 BTC 24 hour volume.  Only about 10 more days until we break through that 0.00000001 Buy wall.

For some reason it seems like my coins stopped staking in my wallet.

Also is it recommended to split our coins into multiple wallets to allow for better staking at this point?

So that's means we should split the wallet multiple times if we have a significant amount of coins?  If so any recommendation of maximum staking size?

They likely have built up their team, but the growth of the platform has been massive.  Also there is no guarantee that everyone you train is going to keep working there especially through the hard tireless work and pressure they are likely under due to being short staffed.  We don't get to see the inside of their operation to know how big the team is or how/if it is actually growing to meet demand.  The best thing people can do is verify your accounts and that will likely make such withdrawals that much less unusual.  They have a lot of customers they are trying to protect, not just you.  We don't "pay" for their service unless we use their exchange and yet they have to get it right 100% of the time lest they lose everyone's money.  I'm actually more impressed with GDAX's promise to reverse the stop loss/margin call trades that crashed ETH the other day.  Poloniex never did that for their 2-3 flash crash issues.

How long did you let it run?  You need to wait at least 5+ minutes of continuous to see the rate somewhat accurately on the pool.  Also the local miner is only showing how much hashes/sec it is calculating, not how many are being accepted.  Some hashes aren't going to be useful to the pool and therefore won't count for your shares.  Sometimes when you get lucky with some difficult hashes that get accepted you can actually have a hash rate higher than is reported locally so it largely depends on luck. 

Do you guys realize that it likely takes at least several weeks to train even a small number of support staff in all the possible things that they need to handle?  Not to mention since you are hiring people who are likely going to be interacting with potentially millions of dollars they likely need to be vetted very well to make sure that they don't find a way to just send all your money to some random wallet address.  Unless you are okay with letting just a random person off the street have access to all of your money and do with it what they want?

Having worked in various support organizations for many very large corporations, including a Swiss bank, I can tell you that it likely takes at least a month to fully train someone and likely at least 3-6 months to actually trust them enough to handle money even with full oversight and approval processes.  I have no idea what kind of vetting and training an exchange like Poloniex is doing, but you can't just deduct some cash and buy more "support", let alone ones that are going to understand the nuance of cryptocoin transactions.

It's called money laundering rules.  When you go legit and follow the rules there are a lot more restrictions on what you can allow.
