221  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Best Vega 56 drivers ? on: May 19, 2018, 02:39:52 PM
I m using 18.3.4 . They work pretty well for me.
Which miner and pool are you using ? I want to get it running today with my Msi vega56 Air Boost OC.
222  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Vega 56 low Hash Rate on: May 19, 2018, 12:09:23 PM
(Edited, question changed)

I am getting only around 800 something H/S (Cryptonight heavy) in a single Vega 56. I have never mined with Win10 and AMD before. All of my Nvidia rigs are on HiveOS.

So in Afterburner settings are :
PL : -25 (temp limit : 60)
Core Clock : 1622 (stock)
Memory : 890
Fan speed : 56  (and temp is around 58-60C)
Latest drivers and just enabled HBCC which boosted some hash rate. I will look into how to load Vega 64 bios later but what can I do now ?

Slightly misleading. As $.50 per hour for each gpu is the cost you are offering to your clients. You will also take commission for the service.
224  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Alernative power generation for mining. on: May 19, 2018, 06:22:12 AM
Nuclear power plants are the best if your country got one. Also Nuclear Energy is the most pro-environment energy on planet. Advances in thorium power plants can make us a intergalactic species. Only a few decades left for completion of Thorium Power plants. India has already developed one but it uses liquid fuel instead of solid, so it's still far from real thorium power plant. Every country has enough Thorium to power themselves for centuries. It is really so good that it is hard to believe it's true. USA already developed a concept thorium power plant in 60s but the project was abandoned as the biggy "drawback" with thorium PP is that they can't be used to produce Nukes and big Oil Corp doesn't want it, so they pay the politicians to halt the research. That's why no nuclear power country was interested in them. Just wanted to spread knowledge about Thorium.

I think hydro power is the cheapest.  If you can find a cheap hydro dam, buy it to mine btc.

I completely agree with you, but I believe the nature of ASIC cpus ( Which are in any dedicated device such as a Firewall) will eventually take over all hardware.

Have you read this?

Some hard as truth here, I don't like what it means, but there is a lot of truth.

This is where you are all wrong. Here, let me explain :
ASIC advancement is necessary for ASIC resistant algos as that is what provides the motivation for developing more powerful ASIC resistant Algos. You guys think that we need one single ASIC resistant algo that will remain resistant to ASICs forever but that's not how tech works. Did they ever created an Antivirus that will stop the viruses in the world that will be made in the future ? No, that's why they keep bringing new version and models every year. When big missiles came tank's armour also started to get thicker. This hasn't stopped to this day. More powerful missile comes with more powerful tank armour. But they never come at the same time. Either powerful missile comes first or the more powerful tank armour. Similarly now we have many powerful ASICs which will be followed by more powerful ASIC resisitant algos.

The nature of Asic chips is to be flexible, dedicated and powerful. I think ASIC will kill GPU mining in any big cap coin. But I also think ASIC will be more available and amateur or home mining will be ASIC instead off GPU the same way now its GPU instead of CPU. Times move and I doubt ASIC will go anywhere.
maybe instead of Devs wasting time in fighting ASIC they could use their time to produce ASIC faster and make it mainstream. The end goal would be even better, decentralization on ASIC chips.

How are ASICs flexible when they are only made to mine a single algo ? You sound like Bitmain's 50 cent army.

How ASICs are decentralised when only a single company produces it and mine with it for a year before releasing them to public ? Why will a for-profit company sell a money making machine ? They only sell them when there is more profit in selling them then mining with them.

Neither are ASICs widely available compared to GPUs. Many Asian countries have banned ASICs unofficially. But they can't ban GPUs. Most of the coins will switch to ASIC resistant algos in futures and it will be the trend.

One of the BIG reason of the recent price fall :

FPGAs are being used for TimeTravel10 algo. Bitcore is being mined and dumped wholesale. Devs need to do something about this urgently. Prices will recover if devs modify their algo.

Vertcoin should be added. Even though, lyra ASICs have probably developed but still it doesn't matter, what matters os the stance of devs towards keeping the coin ASIC resistant and I think once the lyra ASIC becomes officially confirmed Vertcoin devs will do the required modification to keep it ASIC resistant.
232  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Nvidia GTX 1180 CONFIRMED for July !!!! on: May 17, 2018, 08:45:59 PM
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-turing-faq,37067.html

"According to industry sources who spoke with Tom's Hardware Germany's Igor Wallossek on condition of anonymity, we expect a July release for the Founder's Edition cards with third-party cards to follow in August or September. Laptop versions of the cards will come later in the year.

These sources indicate that Nvidia will be delivering the GPU and memory over to partners on or around June 15th. We expect the company to deliver Founder's Edition Cards to retail sometime in July. New Quadro cards based on Turing could debut at Siggraph in August"

13. Spread Some Rumors.. The community, the devs, the supporters everyone can take part in this... (e.g.Vlad2Vlad's statement - "I am Buying"), (AMAZON will soon accept BTX )
(Germany will make BTX their national crypto )


What the hell ! That's extremely unethical and a strategy only used by worst of the shitcoins. In he end if it is really a good coin then nobody can stop it from rising and if it's not then it is bound to fail no matter how much you market it.


Also you don't need to partner with Lamborghini to get a pink lambo (asking them to release a limited edition will be extremely hard). A better strategy would be to get used lambo and custom paint it with those colours and just take a pic. It will circulate all over the internet. They can use it as promo vehicle too.

gameboy366 >  fanatic26  is like a trump troll who lies and make shit up so he can act like his idea of capitalism is the best one an even says it look at what he runs .. sigh ....He doesn't want GPU around any more and wants to shut out the little guy but will act like he doesn't but doesn't care, i can list all his BS an why he thinks CROPS should rule but won't but will in a few words "look up trump ..." He bought Bone Spur's trump into it not me .

I love this assumption:  "You read all this crap on the forums about ASIC BAD, then regurgitate it like it was your own independent thought." I wish there was a Mueller for ASIC to prove just how bad ASIC is ...

why can't GPU's exist with ASIC there is NO reason why not other then the greedily bastards have to much an now they want it all.
One should also keep in mind about the possibility of interacting with Bitmain's own 50 cent army. CCP spends billions of dollars on their "50 cent army" in trying to manipulate public opinion in favour of them by using internet trolls. I am sure Bitmain is also running a similar "army" which is active here on Bitcointalk. One should still keep these things in mind.
236  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU Mining will NEVER die - List of GPU only Champions on: May 17, 2018, 05:07:16 PM
I really can't believe that luxCoin devs said that they try to remain FPGA resistant! That's awesome, respect for LuxCoin. LuxCoin devs are serious, i will visit their post soon.

Bitcoin gold & private have an ASIC.
Monero's slightly changed algo is already being mined by FPGA.
Bitcoin Gold and private will fork soon. At current rate, FPGAs won't increase difficulty of Monero for gpu miners anytime soon.

Also I do want to pay my respect to Ethash which was really the hardest algo to make a ASIC for. Ethash bought power to GPU mining, can't really talk trash about it even if the ASIC has been developed.

'Soon'... Well let's add them to the List of GPU only Champions when they have forked perhaps? And I wouldn't go so far as to say FPGA's won't increase the difficulty of Monero, they are already increasing the difficulty of Monero... But you don't need to take my word for it, you can be surprised all over again when the hashrate drops over 50% next fork and bounces back in a matter of weeks due to quick adoptation of FPGA & ASIC.

ASIC development cycle is getting shorter and shorter and FPGA/ASIC hybrids will be the doom of GPU mining. Good riddance as it's a waste of energy to use GPU for such purpose, the main reason people want to keep GPU mining alive is because of greed as they would see their hardware become obsolete. And I'm saying that as a GPU miner.
You are looking at only one side of the story. These ASICs are necessary as they will lead to further advance in ASIC resistance algos. This is how capitalism works. It is an endless competition that leads to progress in science and technology. If more powerful ASICs are coming, then more powerful ASIC resistant Algos will come. Just like when powerful missile arrived, tank's amour also started getting thick. None of that has stopped to this day. More and more powerful missiles comes with more and more powerful tank armour. Also FPGA resistant algos can be made.

So again, heres the thing. ASICs do not equal centralization, anyone can buy them, run them, and point them where they want. All you people talk about decentralization as it is some buzzword to trump all others when I dont think you quite have the grasp of what it is. Just because Bitmain is the first to release a miner, does not make it the only manufacturer capable of producing them. You realize Innosilicon, Halong, BW, Obelisk and Baikal (im probably forgetting one or two) all make altcoin ASICs as well right? In the bitcoin space there is even more competition. Just because bitmain is the largest doesnt make them the only one.

Heres another example of your centralization fallacy...I run a large datacenter. I manage over 10,000 GPUs here (and 11k ASICs). As a bulk buyer I get priority over other customers when I order GPUs, and I can run as many as I want here. The only difference is the GPU systems are a pain in the ass and the ASICs are more of a 'set it and forget it' item. Large scale mining on GPUs is already happening...do you really think the shortage of cards was from you hobby miners running 6 or 12 cards? No it was people like me buying them by the thousand until the market ran out of cards to sell. The 12 cards you run versus my 10,000 doesnt help with decentralization at all by your definition of it. You use the word ignorance, which is a bit funny because you are a shining example of it. You read all this crap on the forums about ASIC BAD, then regurgitate it like it was your own independent thought.


P.S. Ill put your few years of hobby mining up against my years of experience in this industry if you want to brag about how long you have been doing it.


I said it before and I am saying it again, there is no comparison between a ASIC and GPUs availability. MANY Asian countries have ASICS BANNED UNOFFICIALLY, they seize them in customs. Hoarding of ASIC can lead you to jail even if there is no official law on paper. Any central govt. can put a stop to ASICs and the public wouldn't care. It won't take them much to ban ASICs, it is really easy for them. But the same can't be done with GPUs as they were not made for crypto mining and are required by many different industries of which cryptocurrency mining is a very very tiny fraction. A person living in a small town of a third world country can easily buy a GPU, contribute to the network and get some reward for it which is not possible with ASICs due their retail availability and govt restriction. So no, not anybody can buy and run ASICs. That is an illusion. GPU are the real flag bearers of democratic mining.

Also ASICs would get more respect if there was more competition in the industry instead of Bitmain's monopoly and shady practices which are against proper functioning of capitalism.

I don't see where the idea comes from that increased mining hashrate increases a coins' price.
A higher gold price causes increased interest in gold mining, not vice versa.
Yeah, theoretically it should be exactly opposite. A sudden increase in supply = lower price

Reinstalled windows and it did install some updates after downloading some fu*king amount of GBs. Now I have installed 2 gpus and it is showing an exclamation mark on 3rd gpu. tried uninstalling and it is still there. Installing gpus is so frustrating, in Linux it's plug and play. It is also showing 3.45 gb ram instead of 4 gb even though it is 64 bit os on x64 processor.
