The wallet is fully synced and there is no mining in process on my laptop. Virtacoin Core wallet is just idle and minimized into system tray, but it takes up 100% CPU load without doing absolutely nothing. I'm running Windows 10 by the way. The CPU is Intel Core i5-3210M Quad Core @ 2.50GHz  If you may, try figure out exactly what it is doing while using your full processing capacity. Make sure the mining (in the debug window) is set to false. If your quest for the 100% is not satisfied by the answers that you find, just exit the client until you need to transact using virtacoin. |

i missed this, what is the algo of ethereum? it's something anti asic for now? we can expect an update in the future to maintain gpu relevant forever?
if this is how it will be i might give it a try for the tiem being, if it is also profitable, but soemthing is telling me that it is not
Ethash, I believe. Also called Hashimoto-Dagger. It's a denomination on dagger I think. Ethereum is currently 1000% asic resistant as it requires 2gb of VRAM to mine with a GPU. Asics are in the >100kb range and need a serious upgrade to compute ethereum's mining algorithm. They expect to keep Ether GPU only for upwards of 5 years, though things might change with ether's price. With a dedicated 100GB/s asic machine you get a few mBTC a day. With a single modern (AMD) GPU you can expect (if converted from Ether to bitcoin) 10 mBTC per day! (also known as a bitcent!) It's quite profitable to be honest. |

An hour ago Cryptsy sent out a site message explaining that wallets were in maintenance.
Lowered withdrawal to $25 daily without personal information being sent in to boot.
Now "due to a server error" all wallets are offline, oh my.
Anyone think that it is now that Cryptsy shall bomb and take the BTC they now hold?
I withdrew what I could at first sign of trouble, but shit, this does seem bad.

Cryptsy have stated on their website upon login that the wallets are in maintennance as people, following a glitch, could withdraw more coin than they actually had. So they put all their wallets on maintennance to fix the issue before it got worse and are refunding people with their own money. (Quite noble I think.) I hope Cryptsy doesn't bomb, I really do.  |

I always advice newcomers to go for either; slush, f2pool and antpool.
Those pools have been long in the game and best of all they have easy setup instructions on their website.
I don't suggest Antpool. Loads and loads of proof has been brought up on them and Elugius stealing blocks from their miners to shove into their pockets, filthy rich damn pockets. Slush has the best/most noob friendly GUI to exercise so I'd suggest them to any newcomers arriving.  |

I thought that BTC use was prohibited in China? What is the news on that?
Are the laws in China being relaxed by their government..? (The one child policy is being relaxed, does this follow/has the BTC prohibitation ever been actually enforced?)
Other than that, an AMA is pretty insightful into the bitcoin exchange market (and in the chinese side of the BTC market)
I'll also assume that this is for cheap advertising on top of the (possible) good rep that this will gain them.

Strange, Malwarebytes sends a clean on the virustotal but not on my PC. Will do more investigation under a safe veil. EDIT: Malwarebytes and Web of Trust come to a joined conclusion of some sort of phishing script..? Website is trusted tho, I assume it is some unfinished PHP that has come up as a threat. |
|
|

Oh my.
Malwarebytes blocked the website immediately.
This means that Malwarebytes has a valid account on the website housing malicious code and had this verified.
Be VERY careful of this business, I'm not calling it a scam, I'm just saying that this is in no way safe. Watch out, be vigiliant.
I will not be using this, not in the slightest.
My Opinion = Stay away.
Which website exactly?  (post a link, I beg you.) Next time make sure you use font 30, so people believe your FUD. I also don't know why the hell you're spreading FUD, w/o even knowing me, or having purchased this method. Anyone who bought this method will call you a retard, lol. If you don't answer in 24 hours, I'll give you negative trust from my main/personal account. Okay, no need for threats or harsh words. This is what the (main) Dev team of Malwarebytes has put forward to my question. The website blocked was "payivy" https://payivy.com/v/7f91a This may have no affiliation to you but it seems to be your main operating fund transaction base. I didn't mean to spread any form of FUD, just a heads up to what I recieved on the matter. |

It's normal, don't worry.
Simply, it means that the pool has detected a new block and you are not mining that block yet.
A stale share is when you submit a share from the pools' last block and it is "stale" The pool sends out a work restart message to keep all the miners up to date mining the current block.
It's not an error nor should you worry about it, especially GPU mining (which I suggest you refrain from doing on scrypt/sha256d algorithms as you'll earn little)

Whoa, that can't be safe!
It might just be horrible optimization on the dev's part, making it use all the processing speed at it's disposal to do whatever it wants/needs to.
If the Virtacoin core isn't syncing the coin's chain then something is horribly wrong and the developers need to be contacted.
My 3 cents is that you should shut the core down until the issue is fixed/you've found out what is causing it.

Hallo there world, I need help.
I've been mining Ethereum the past few days on my PC's GPU and a second PC's GPU with "ethminer"
The problem I have is with my GPU, a Radeon R9 380 4GB Gaming (Tonga) running on the Windows 8 OS. The GPU runs 100% usage and has slight drops to ~90% before returning to 100%
The core clock is stable and doesn't have drops. So I have a question, is there some sort of intensity option for AMD GPUs that I can configure? (I am not worried about the 100% usage as this is common in AMD GPUs whilst mining.((I think)) lel) Also, "--cl-extragpu-mem (my number in MB)" doesn't seem to function..? It just stops the program from mining if it is specified in the .bat I use.
Thanks for any input,
-Griff.

The solo mining comments are correct. It is nearly impossible to make anything mining alone, this is why people join pools, to find and mine blocks together. Determining ROI is easy, just use a calculator. For instance; http://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/bitcoin-mining-calculatorJust plug in your chosen pools fees and your chosen miner's stats in GH/s or TH/s. Pool? I suggest Slush's pool, Elugius and Antpool are known to steal blocks from their miners and I haven't recognised Slush's doing it. Your pool is your choice though. Hope this helps! |

I've been interested in Cannabiscoin for about a week now but I'm no expert on CANN's status with the community.
The market balance is fair, about 0.00000700 BTC/ 700 satoshi. It is stable to about a 10%+- and I haven't seen a crash in it's market...
Has anyone had experience with CANN and could explain why it's a good idea to start trading with it or why it's a horrible idea because I can't make such a decision with the miniscule amount of knowledge I hold.

ta very much as i say any help would eb usefull had trubel in the past that i managed my self but nothing like this adn i have probs been a bit sparing with the details but (1) no red light diisplaying on the miner LCD display on my miner displays the ip adress 0 hash speed and temp i his unit is an S2 unit so inside of the unit i can see some stedy red light and a blinking blue ligh but i not very sure is this is very helpfully information. (2) http://pasteboard.co/2hQkpY6Q.png http://pasteboard.co/2hQnHRkq.png http://pasteboard.co/2hQuwyg6.png(3) un sure what you mean about everying comeing in and out of my miner dont have a fancy set up this miner is conect to my internet via a switch connected to my hub as i say was wroking until this morning were mineing has stoped. therefor i power down and rebooted the unit at wich point it did not start to mine so i performed a reset of the whole systems and started from scratch with my backup pool to make sure not and issue with the pool i am useing, i pluged a pc in to the same switch as the miner to cheach that i could correctl acess the internet which it could hopefully this is a bit more usefull informatiuon Wow, it actually sounds like your S2 is dead. Try a factory reset. Hit the button on the bottom left of the LCD screen holding it down for 3 seconds. A red LED should blink once per second. This will revert your miner to original settings. If that doesn't work try this, though I don't know to what limits this might reach; (I've never had this problem) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=671625If that doesn't yield results try find exactly what component/s have failed and see if they are replaceable, there are several ways to go about testing individual components of the machine. (Google is your friend!) -Griff |

Could we have some screenshots of your webpage? Also is your miner (physically) showing any led lights? This may indicate a problem. (Or two) So many things could be wrong, be more discriptive about exactly what is going on with everything in and out of your miner or nobody will be able to help you.  |

Quite an interesting topic!
It's needs quite a bit of thought to find a system of fueling to exercise that 2000F/1093C into something useable for power.
It's quite an idea though and boy does it do work on anything you put in front of it!

I used a browser miner for pandacoin a while ago..
Oh? How did it work out for you? I'm interested. Did you actually get a good amount of speed hash wise? Also, what website/service did you exercise? |

I can't imagine making any profit with a (Smaller/Cheaper) USB miner. (..?) The gekkoscience sticks are somewhere around 15Gh/s if I remember clearly, that will not make much unless you band a few together on the same HUB. I guess the Ant U3 (also technically a USB miner) would generate a few US cents a day but I'm not sure if that can be really listed as profit, it's miniscule. I'm sure if you have the dollars to throw at it most to all recent ASICs are profitable, so I'm not really understanding your point on "it's the only profitable ASIC in my country" If you really want to try make some revenue then you'll need a heavy duty USB HUB, most miners aiming this way made theirs personally. Right now, USB hubs aren't really created commonly for mining, or even being at full capacity (on most of the cheaper sells on Amazon) I'd suggest you look for HUBs such as this, aim for the strongest though; http://www.amazon.com/Dyconn-PowerHub-10-Port-Industrial-Alumunim/dp/B00BD7L16Good luck on your endeavour. |
