that's a great analysis.... thank you |

if you take a look at what is profitable to mine all n-scrypt coins are in the tank.
what the people who come up with these coins forget is one thing - mining equipment is not free.
the vast majority of people mining mine for the technical challenge to keep their hands in computers because their IT Professional like myself and they like extra income that mining affords them.
I read with humor the altruistic posts by people who want to guard their coins from high speed mining by asic chips.
It's like telling people you've found a precious metal and only people with pick axes can mine it - guess what? they're going to ignore you and mine what's easiest to mine.
The perfect analogy is the resistance to the industrial age.
If your coin has merit and value then let it stand on it own two feet, don't put crutches under it and then try to stand as tall as the other coins around you.
The n scrypt coins are being deserted faster than a desert island with no water and plenty of boats. Their pathetic values are evidence to this fact. Not a single one has any growth or any value.
There will always be coins created by people who welcome mining and don't put up road blocks to seeing them mined, while your coins languish in obscurity.
I hope you enjoy the silence.
that's my humble .02 scrypt cents
mark my words....

Ok keep in mind im talking SYSTEM ram, not GPU ram. Each rig regardless of how many GPUS should for best results have 8GB SYSTEM ram for N-Scrypt.
yes - I am referring to system ram on the MOB |
|
|
|
|
ltc follows btc it's why I don't waste my time mining it.
|
|
|
|
|
ok - thanks - I have 2 GB ram for each of my 7 280X cards
|
|
|
|
Come on LTC go to $1 pls  won't go lower than $5 |
|
|
|
|
Is there some general rule of thumb that I can apply to my hashing rates if I switch my rig over to miningsome of the N Scrypt coins. I have about 5,000 Kh/s of mining power in my 7 GPU's - what would that equate to when mining N Scrypt coins with their cgminer forks?
thanks in advance.

I'm familiar with virtual com ports and all that from phone flashing.
I was able to get it working on a custom clean installed Windows 8.1 64 bit computer. I used the WinUSB and a copy of CGminer. I could NOT get this thing to work on Usb 3 and on any laptop I had.
Now I can only get two on, the rest are not detected. Does BAMT with a modified cgminer work for this asic
For me it didn't work connected directly to an USB 3 port but worked on a USB 2 hub connected to a USB 3 port. Not sure what would be an issue with a laptop. BAMT is a bit of an overkill for this, since it has all that AMD crud installed. But yes, you can compile a modified cgminer version on it and it would work. I don't know if it would help with USB 3 though. I think it's still a minority that cannot make the Gridseed's work, there has been hundreds of thousands sold, and you see very few people with problems. As for USB3 we all know they only work well on UB2 port and hub I've had my gridseeds for two weeks now. the first week I was running 20 off a Pi Rasberry with cpuminer and they'd run great for about 8 to 10 hours then they'd just slow down and my pool stats would start off showing them as running at about 7,200 Kh/s and then they'd start to slow down to abut 3,500 Khs and I'd reboot the Pi and they'd run fine again. I got tired of this after about 5 days so last saturday I put Ubuntu server 13.04 on an old PC I had laying around and downloaded and compiled cgminer for gridseed and for about about 100 hours now and they've been perfect - non stop. |

Just wanted to post an excerpt from a post here that Warren made (LTC Dev team) when looking at X11. Reference: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=18166.0 The 2nd post. My personal opinion is that it is surely a concern going forward but maybe X11 is not the best algo compared to a Memory hard solution or Hefty1. What happens when an optimized version of X11 miner is out and it is no longer cool running and efficient as it is now? X11 is Far WorseX11 suffers from the problems stemming from increased propagation latency and slow verification, and adds even worse susceptibility to ASIC advantage. It is a mere mishmash of 11 separate algorithms that are now GPU mineable (according to Darkcoin’s homepage). Anything GPU mineable can be implemented in custom hardware. To make matters worse, ASIC’s could even have a major speedup advantage over GPU’s. adam3mus said, “it does seem likely that eg if the unused space due to heat can be filled with the other hashes, then it can all be pipelined together and no slowdown. the only cost is replicating different hash functions which doesnt seem particularly hard” So a switch to X11 only delays the inevitable. Switching the hash to X11 would only spite the current manufacturers while ultimately failing in the goal of preventing ASIC’s later. It gets even worse. If the cost of entry for a particular PoW is very high by design, that increases the chance of fewer competing manufacturers entering a market. This is the worst possible outcome for any Bitcoin-like network that relies upon large quantities of greedy miners to outdo each other to maintain network security. [/quote finally - a sensible instead of emotional response to the issue. why not just leave things alone? I suppose it's the nature of miners - it's difficult not to 'tinker' LOL |
|
|
|
|
is there any way to calculate future difficulty ?
for instance the difficulty increases are published for btc - is there anything like that for this coin?
|
|
|
|
|
I only have one thing to say about all of this:
TERMINUS!
|
|
|

As for speculating the future value of the coin - can we please stop that? You do not know, no-one really knows how much the coin will be worth in a week, even less a month or a year from now. Yes, it would be nice if its value skyrocketed, went to the moon and beyond, we should HODL (and all other memes), but you're just talking nonsense. It's like reverse FUD of some kind. Trade as your "guts" tell you, speculation is meaningless. Edit: In other news, einsteinium-eu.cloudapp.net is not working, but mining at einsteinium-us.cloudapp.net is giving me better accept/reject rate than the EU one even though I'm from Eastern Europe. Weird, but nice.  yes - speculation is meaningless!!!! |
|
|
|
any good guesstamite of how much emc2 per MH/s you are getting while mining?
a little over $2 USD/Day 1,000 Kh/s |
|
|
|
crap! I'm always the 2nd or 3rd largest person in the pool and wouldn't you know it - I haven't found a block yet and and I'm 11th on the list of all time block finders on this pool - crap!!!  LOL |

a few questions - I just started mining HVC with one R9 280X and I have settings that I use for other currencies like LTC pretty well set for my board - would the same settings hold true to HVC?
thanks

I have a number of questions for you. I purchased cgremote and I have it monitoring my three miners - all miners are running cgminer one is running the cgminer branch for gridseeds - however in devices for gridseeds it shows accepted/rejected/errors etc but does not show the hash rates for each of the gridseeds - how can we get this working so that I can monitor each of the gridseeds? If I can monitor each of the gridseeds then can I get a warning notice is the hash rate for that miner falls below a certain number? then I have two mining rigs with GPU's I'd like to monitor them the same way and get a warning if the has rate falls below a certain number. in addition all three says "access: Read only" and I'd like to be able to stop and restart the miners on those machine through your product - can that be done? In addition: Under the coins tabs you have a box checked by default that says "Send coin data regularly to all connected miners running cgwatcher -am I to assume that since I am not running windows on the mining machines this cannot be done? and I assume that cgwatcher can only be run on windows machines that are also mining? thanks and I look forward to some answers. one other thing: you have this on your website: is any of this available with me running cgminer on ubuntu machines? http://manotechnology.blogspot.com/2013/07/profitability-mining-in-cgwatcher.html |

bfgminer question I've been trying out pool management and noticed this today: [2014-03-29 15:01:56] Pool 0 is hiding block contents from us
what does this mean? thanks in advance and also what does the number in the 3rd column represent? in this case the 195.9 - should I find a more responsive pool? seems like I'm wasting KH/s - is this is the actual throughput? what does the 3rd number represent? : 352.6/336.6/195.9kh/s ST:22 F:2 NB:21 AS:4 BW:[172/253 B/s] E:0.00 I: 147mBTC/hr BS:0
