Ruja Ignatova, founder of the crypto pyramid Onecoin, may have been murdered in Greece a year after her disappearance. According to an article, quoting а leaked report from a police informant, the “missing Cryptoqueen” was killed on a yacht in the Ionian Sea more than four years ago.

I always add links when I write about new shitcoins. I don’t look at what the team writes, only profit for today is important for me, and it happens that for 1-2 weeks the profit when mining these shitcoins is higher than standard coins from the WhatToMine calculator.
1823  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Gamers beware: miners are now painting GPU memory on: February 19, 2023, 09:01:47 AM
This is another reason why I believe gaming on a console is so much cheaper than PC gaming without having to worry about low fps and whatnot...now imagine having to invest in a GPU just to get better video memory or fps with lots of money for a used item that can die any time... and also the worst part about buying these products is that they are not covered by a warranty if you will be importing them from some other part of the world, in a nutshell, some bad business practice from our Chinese friends to be honest needs not to be supported.
You can find scams everywhere where the price is cheap, such as selling cheap cars at auctions in the US, where people can check the car only after purchase. In China, there are new and used good video cards with a guarantee, but not everyone is satisfied with a 10-20% discount.

Does such a formula exist?
I would take the hashrate of 5 miners and their Doge profit on each pool, and I would get real income on each pool.
If the statistics are closed, then the addresses of the mining pools can be easily found, and you will find out the addresses of the miners.

Yes, that they are! On the other hand, the new M2 Mac Mini is actually quite a compelling purchase.
Why do I need him? I can buy this laptop for myself, but it is not cryptocurrency mining. I had an old macbook, but I installed Windows on it Smiley
For mining, this investment will never pay off. And in a couple of years this model will become obsolete, and video cards are constantly making a profit.

Yeah, for mining no, I was just talking about in general for "regular computing."  Smiley
The new M2 Pro and M2 Max models cost about $3,000 in the US or Europe, and in Russia these laptops are 30-50% more expensive.
This is an expensive item that will attract unnecessary attention from thieves, so I see no reason to buy such a laptop.And for the office, this is an expensive purchase.

Was talking about the M2 Mini base model  Wink
Show me this model, if it costs less, then maybe I'll try another operating system. I'm not familiar with Apple laptops, so please provide a link to that laptop. But I don't like to spend a lot of money on laptops on which I do office tasks.

NVIDIA RTX 4070 with AD104 GPU
Another confirmation of the RTX 4070 rumored specs.
https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-ad104-250-gpu-for-geforce-rtx-4070-has-been-pictured
The RTX 4070 GPU is said to offer 5888 CUDA cores, which means that unlike RTX 4070 Ti, this model will be using a cut-down GPU with 1792 cores disabled. However, as long as rumors are to be believed, this card should still use the same memory configuration of the Ti model, which is 12GB GDDR6X across a 192-bit bus.


1829  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Mining Facility container or hangar / Staff / Monitoring questions on: February 17, 2023, 10:39:46 AM

I was wondering what is the best option. Should I run couple of "ready to go" mining containers  or is it better for me to set up the hangar as a mining place and run the miners inside the hangar?
Do not build a hangar, this may be a mistake. If you talk to investors, they will ask what you will do if electricity prices change or mining is banned. The container can be quickly taken away and installed in another territory.

1831  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Buying a video card for the next mining season on: February 17, 2023, 10:19:47 AM
Of course, the developer of the miners writes which version of the drivers to use. Even in our forum section, some miners complained about the low hashrate until they thought of reading the readme file and updating the drivers. But the problem is that many developers do not optimize software for 1000 and 2000 series.
1832  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Gamers beware: miners are now painting GPU memory on: February 17, 2023, 10:13:57 AM
I am not surprised. They have been doing this for years.

In the past a buddy of mine bought some R9 290 GPU on alibaba because it was "super cheap". It arrived and looked legit. Had a box labelled r9 290 and everything. However upon installation it was something like an R9 270. He complained and got a refund.

They do this because they know that most experienced gamers won't be buying any china brand GPUs. They do this because they hope that some newbie buys this and doesn't notice its a generation lower than displaced and since it still works in games, they don't complain.

That’s pretty shady. Intentionally trying to sell a GPU as a different GPU is on another level. You pretty much have to assume that GPUs bought from China for below MSRP are going to be used no matter what they claim. It’s like when ordering antminers from Bitmain. They say that they’re new but a close inspection will tell a different story as some parts are caked in dust.

Basically if somebody like my Dad bought a GPU he would of never known. My Dad is cheap and buys everything from Alibaba and he never uses it. He would of just either bought it and left it unpacked for years, or would install it, see that it works and just never play games on it. Its these types of people that buy these types of GPUs and why the sellers get away with it.

People see that you can get a $500 GPU for only $250 and they think its a steal, they buy it and never know. Most gamers would never pay $250 for a GPU that is suppose to be $500 because they know its common sense that its way too cheap and something is wrong. Its the same with WISH dot COM, they also sell these fake products and they do it because nobody actually uses the product, they just buy it for the sake of buying it.

You know how many SD cards my dad bought from Alibaba and WISH dot COM. Probably dozens. They were all like 32GB. And he tested them out and they worked because he took a photo or two. However if you took 100 photos, you would get data corruption because its really a 1GB SDCARD. And by the time you realise you were scammed you cant make a claim and get your money back.

Hence its why they keep selling these junk electronics.
I recently chose an SSD for one of my PCs.
I had a month or two before I had to replace my old hard drive and wanted to order from China. I chose the SSD manufacturer KingSpec. Good reviews. Then I looked at its price in a large store in my city and found that the price was a few dollars cheaper and 3 years warranty. A very interesting statistic is that 25% of my SSDs break before 3 years, and I get a refund.

--snip--
But this is your choice if you decide to go this way, you can use the recommendations from NiceHash https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/how-to-start-mining-bitcoin-in-2022
I'm sorry that I'm a little late in the responses here because I'm reviewing the plan I'm going to make, I'm a little wrong at this point about what I'm planning to buy. But here at nicehash, It seems to be okay and I got interested in this matter. And I think the NVIDIA Tesla A100 mining hardware is the best based on my review on the website you provided.

I hope you've read the disclaimer which state you actually don't mine Bitcoin. Additionally the article is slighty outdated since newer GPU type (such as RTX 4000 series) exist.

Quote
Check electricity price on your area and reserve location (e.g. your basement) to host your mining

I have a small stock room and I will put an aircon before I begin to host mining here.

Sounds good. Many miner use such room. I hope your electricity price is rather low ($0.06/kWh or lower).

Do you think 0.18$ kWh will be good to say that I can break even for this things If ever I begin to mine Bitcoin?

     Honestly, this is what I consume here in my home according to per hour based on kWh. So I think, I supposed to
expect a high cost for the electricity for the first month I guess. But I will observe it for the first trial as of the moment.
If the price of electricity is more than 10 cents, then it is better not to start mining. And do not forget that there will be a halving soon, and the cost of mining will increase greatly, and if the price of bitcoin is cheaper than $30,000, then you will not pay back the equipment.
1835  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Gamers beware: miners are now painting GPU memory on: February 16, 2023, 03:45:19 PM
I have miners who bring equipment from China, but they have their own representative there who checks each equipment. If you do not check, then there is a very high chance of being deceived. But the cost of delivery and the cost of customs makes the delivery of equipment profitable not to all countries.

CFX PUMP!

According to a Feb. 15 announcement, Conflux Network, also known as Shanghai Tree-Graph Blockchain Research Institute, said that it had secured a partnership with China Telecom to develop a blockchain SIM (BSIM) card. As told by Conflux, the BSIM will have a secure place to store digital private keys and will be able to call upon the said signature to transfer money to other users. In addition, a “one-click direct check” functionality will allow users to check for transaction information and status progress in real-time.

1837  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: UK users - ASUS offers up to £300 for your old GPU on: February 16, 2023, 03:33:29 PM
I accidentally met a man who does this. The Chinese have learned to make a lot of branded items very cheap, but not all. They did not learn how to make branded glasses, but their dresses, T-shirts and bags are of very good quality. The certificate is also easy to forge. Store employees are engaged in such fraud, the owner will not do this.

When a customer detects that the GPU is counterfeit, can he get his money back?
Maybe you need the information to reach the owner to be able to make the claim.
There is a lot of such fraud with video cards on aliexpress, when instead of 8 GB the seller sends a 4 GB video card, or instead of a more expensive model, he sends a cheap one, but at the price of a cheap video card. The return is very long, and the seller hopes that the buyer will not be involved in the return procedure. But the price of such ads is always below market prices.

Tim Beiko: "Assuming everything goes well, we'd probably have another testnet mid march or so, and then mainnet either late march/early April, although it's definitely not a "final" date. The mainnet date always depends on how well the testnet forks go. If we find a bug, we will always delay and fix things to be safe."

Liquid Devil’s boost clock is 2.68 GHz
PowerColor spills the beans on RX 7900 XTX clocks.

PowerColor’s Liquid Devil, the single-slot RX 7900 XTX GPU with fully custom waterblock will feature two BIOS settings. The OC BIOS will enable 2455/2615 MHz base/boost clocks, but the card also features ‘Unleash’ mode in which the clocks go higher up to 2510/2680 MHz respectively. What this means is that PowerColor is enabling up to 210/180 MHz frequency increase compared to the reference specs. This model should also be 50 MHz faster than air-cooled Red Devil. Just bear in mind clocks will vary depending on a workload.
