when talking about campaign managers, actually Pugman has given instructions which managers are worthy of being employed.

obviously, this problem is not just the campaign manager and the participants but the campaign owner is also involved in this.

calm down, bud  Grin

The atmosphere in mining (altcoins) isn't the same as Meta.

You ask something that has been discussed a lot, your question above is like the Merit question in Meta like this:
  • How to get Merit
  • The tips for getting Merit
  • etc.

There are several things that can affect profits:
  • Type/series your device, you can jump to whattomine
  • Hashrate generated from your device then comparing with the Network/diff of coin that you will be mining.
  • The electricity and internet costs.

As long as you're not doing what they do and you're not adding garbage in the forum then you're free from guilt likewise some part of nationalism is getting hurt here.
There are no words of "nationalism" or feel ashamed for such bastards (Spammer)

It's actually worse than that. There's no repercussions for doing a shitty job here. Even if they took some job doing menial work in their own country like cleaning toilets or packing products into boxes, they'd be fired pretty quickly if they showed up to work whenever they wanted and did the worst job imaginable and cut every corner they could possibly do and that's essentially what happens here.

I really know their true situation, the fact that they aren't poor but greedy. Poor people in my country rarely can operate the Internet let alone know about this forum. This is a fact on the ground, poor people who you think like toilet cleaners, working in factories don't do things like this.

The questions now who did that?

In Indonesia, there is the term "Cukong" = rich people have a lot of money to buy a number of accounts and take actions that aren't commendable. that's where I call it greedy. Poor people in my country aren't as bad as you think. instead the poor in my country are more authoritative but greedy rich people who leave a disability.

This is called the poor in Indonesia




This is called Cukong

Shit i believe that picture is coming from my country and i am really in shame now.
Why are you ashamed of them, it's not your fault, and I'm not ashamed even though I come from the same country because they and I are different in "looking at this forum". instead, we have to prove that not all members are from Indonesia like them. who only searched for .002 BTC / week by breaking the forum rules (Spammer).

Introduction
I know for now some miners in the west or east or other countries have differences in looking at altcoin mining, some are talking now altcoin mining is dead, altcoin mining is no longer profitable, mining is still profitable, etc., whatever that is a common discussion if associated with profit. I just want to share a brief experience about Altcoin mining starting from hardware commonly used by some miners. Maybe this things does not fully apply to other miners, because the problem of altcoin mining is very complex and too much to discuss. So I'm just a variety of things that I know and experience.

If you want to start mining of altcoins those things should be considered and knowing:
  • How much electricity costs and internet cost in your region or country
    These very important for now because many miners have been shut down their rigs and sell it because of an earning from mining can't be closed an electricity cost.
  • How fast do you want ROI
    Every miner, of course, wants as soon as possible for this matter but in mining is different, there are many things can be an influence such as coin are mined, coin prices when mined and sold, electricity and internet cost every a week or month, also durability their rigs.
  • Lists of devices that can be used for the mining of altcoins
    • Mining Rig
    • CPU, Laptops
    • The smartphone/cell phone
    • Bitmain products
    • FPGA



[1] Mining Rig
Usually call it the Mining Rig, which means a CPU with multiple GPUs and frames. The Mining Rig consists of:

Motherboard
These lists of MB is usually used:

Processor
Actually, for mining rigs, processors with low specifications are enough, examples: Celeron(Intel) as long as they support the chipset (motherboard). if anyone asks about the difference between AMD and Intel with mining performance, I don't think there is a significant difference(IMO).

RAM
for size, 4GB is enough as long as supporting (ex: DDR2, DDR3, DDR4) with the motherboard but above 4GB is better and for brands, I use  Kingston, Corsair has so far been very good for Mining Rigs.

SSD/HDD
Better to use SSD than HDD. This difference will be felt when you set the rig for the first time. Usually when you first often restart the rig and use SSD saves more power consumption than the HDD. For size at least 128 or there is some miners use 64GB and for brands, I use Samsung(128GB,256GB)

USB RISER
Basically, USB Riser is used only to convert PCIEx1 to PCIe-x16 on GPUs and also provides more space on the motherboard and this can have implications at temperature the GPU and motherboard itself (not direct).

The following are the types of USB Risers commonly used by miners:
  • VER008C
  • VER008S
  • VER006C
  • VER006
  • Etc

There is a bit of difference between the types, such as:
  • Number of Capacitor
  • Type of power connector
  • Led Indicator
  • Type of USB cable

PSUs
The most important thing is to use the PSU for mining at least PSU with 80+ a Gold rating and above Gold rate is better but more expensive and depending on the brand.

These are the difference between the rating of PSUs:
  • 80+ Titanium
    at least 90% efficiency at 10% load,   
    at least 92% efficiency at 20% load,   
    at least 94% efficiency at 50% load,
    at least 90% efficiency at 100% load.
  • 80+ Platinum
    at least 90% efficiency at 20% load,   
    at least 92% efficiency at 50% load,
    at least 89% efficiency at 100% load
  • 80+ Gold
    at least 87% efficiency at 20% load,
    at least 90% efficiency at 50% load,
    at least 87% efficiency at 100% load
  • 80+ Silver
    at least 85% efficiency at 20% load,
    at least 88% efficiency at 50% load,
    at least 85% efficiency at 100% load.
  • 80+ Bronze
    at least 82% efficiency at 20% load,
    at least 85% efficiency at 50% load,
    at least 82% efficiency at 100% load

some brands are usually used by miners like Corsair, EVGA etc. there are several miners who use Server PSU.

GPUs
This hardware is critical in a mining rig because it determines Hashrate and what coins can be mined adjust with type/series of GPU also algorithm of coins. AMD and NVIDIA both are popular in mining (altcoins).

Type/Series of AMDs:
  • RX Series
    Vega: Vega 64/56.
    500: 560, 570, 580.
    400: 460, 470, 480
  • R9 Series
    R9 200: 270, 270x, 280, 280x, 290, 290x, 295x2.
    R9 300: 380, 380x, 390, 390x.
    R9 Fury: Fury, Fury X.
    R9 Nano

Type/Series of NVIDIA:
  • 1060 3/6GB, 1070, 1080, 1080Ti

Another peripheral:

Software
  • OS
    like on a PC generally requires some software in the mining process, OS either Windows or Linux. These two OS have the advantages of each but the most important which OS we usually use and master. Personally, I use Win10.
  • Mining Software such as claymore, etc
  • GPUz
  • Atikmdag
  • DDU
  • Etc, adjust to your needs

Installation of Mining Rigs
These steps are based on my experience. If you assemble yourself:
  • like assembling a PC in general, but for thermal paste, I use Deepcool Z9 for a processor (MB)
  • Installing Win10 via a USB stick, wait for it to finish
  • Installing GPUz and atikmdag
  • Installing GPUs with drivers (using USB Riser)
  • Installing claymore / another mining software

And trying to run your Rigs but not as easy as imagined there is always a problem but don't worry there is always a solution. These are the problems and solutions that I have experienced.

If there are several GPUs that are not detected in the system (Win10)
Try these steps:
  • Check the driver
  • Plug a card, one by one
  • Check/change a cable PCI-e USB Riser
  • Move to another PCI-e slots
  • Check Power from/ to USB Riser
  • Patch atikmdag, using an atikmdag patcher
  • Patch Win Registry

If Asrock H81 Pro BTC R2.0 will not start (power failure and the like)
Try these steps:
  • Reset BIOS via jumper
  • Unplug the CMOS battery and plug it in again.
  • Move the CPU Memory Slot to DIM1 or DIM 2 or viceversa

If stability issue about Mining rig crash every hour
Try these steps:
  • Make sure the GPU doesn't power shortage
  • Check a cable from PSU to RISER
  • Try to use another PSUs

If claymore software hangs or freeze
Try these steps:
  • make sure a Virtual Memory at least 16GB
  • make sure the Power to a GPU isn't lacking power.
  • make sure RAM on CPU doesn't have a problem.
  • make sure doesn't have a problem with update windows

GPU Rig often restart itself when starting miner (e.g RX series)
Try these steps:
  • Clean the drivers use DDU
  • then reinstalling the driver again
  • check window (if use Win) update history, cases like this can be possible

[2] CPUs, Laptops
Many threads that contain questions about whether the CPU/Laptops can be used to mine?, actually, yes it can mine as long as the coin can be mined or is usually called a coin mined with the CPU. But some miners, including me, cannot give recommendations because of these things:
  • unprofitable
  • just a waste of time
  • The resulting hash rate is small

But if you want to try it, can use:
Minergate, for more information: https://minergate.com/downloads/gui

Another information:

[3] The Smartphone/cell phone
I prefer to call it airdrop, not mining. Personally, I don't a recommendation.

but if you want to try that, read this:
https://electroneum.com/

[4] Bitmain products
These are lists of Bitmain Products that can be used for altcoin mining:

[5] FPGA
I don't discuss FPGA because I don't have that, but there are several topics that can be used as References.

The ICO managers must prohibit each participant's posting in Altcoin/Bitcoin discussions (by not paying its). Even though this doesn't solve the problem because they can do it in other sections at least, those sections are somewhat clean of garbage. Can ICO manager hear our scream? I hope they hear it before @hilariousetc advice is applied (no/not yet) by theymos

3.) Participants must publish atleast 42 meaningful posts per week which must have a minimum length of 75 characters

Is it necessary make 42 post, means 6 post per day. Condition is post should be meaningful.

There will be spam instead of meaningful post. Because it's not easy to make 6 constructive post per day.

1000 ETH isn't small amount , they don't trust escrow.

1.) Be registered at the forum icoforums.net

May be they want increase their registers.

Although they are payment is much higher from other campaign. But I feel it's not safe for participant.
@OP, it's better to update the title and content about ICOforums. SigCamp has released payments to all eligible participants, so it looks fair and at least restore his reputation.

Proof:

All campaign participants are paid please look at this spreadsheet if you are qualified

Some members confirmed their payment:
I also received payment for the first week of the campaign.

I received my 0.91ETH. Thanks to owner of ICOForums and the new team. Wishing them God's speed in recovering that 39ETH. As for @iamsedii, he'll know no peace until he return the stolen money.

The real issue is that after putting effort into reporting, finding plagiarism takes time, it doesn't decrease the spam.
but at least their account (spammer) is banned or gets red trust after being reported.

That does more to demotivate people from reporting than a badge will fix
I appreciate applying the badge that will be a motivation for more reporter voluntary.

How do I receive merit?
You are awarded merit by people of the community if they find your post helpful or informative.[1]

While we will not be directly moderating this, I encourage people to give merit to posts that are objectively high-quality[2], not just posts that you agree with.

cuman suhu dari gtx1080ti dan rx580 emang lebih panas dari gtx1050ti ya?
berapa derajat bang suhunya (gtx1080ti) ?. kalau kisaran 56-70 masih termasuk normal

ada kiat-kiat khususkah untuk mengurangi suhu panas yg dihasilkan?
kalau abang berani dan mampu, coba aja ganti pasta processornya atau bisa merangkai beberapa fan VWM seperti beberapa member dan saya sendiri telah melakukannya, dan itu cukup efective untuk mereduce panas kisaran 2-5 derajat tergantung merk VWM dan suhu udara di daerah abang serta ruangan.

Like what I said, since I don't really know if Admins can have a copy of edited messages /replies, it is much better to use Archive.fo to save a copy. Quoting the message/reply is a good idea too but other members can also edit the content of the particular reply so it means someone else can also be able to change its contents.

Well I think I'm right, after doing some research I found out this reply from theymos that might give you some idea.

Can admins see editing history of a post?

Yes, though it's a bit of a hassle.

There's currently no history of profile fields, though, so you definitely can't rely on your signature or anything like that.

how about this post:
Note however that unlike how it was years ago, edits are now logged and available to admins.
