It's difficult to know how many xcn are left on the exchange and what they will do with them.

Regarding this, I tried too look where my old xcn's that traveled months between poloniex and btc38 are currently but block explorer gives me an invalid argumet error. I actually get this same error when I'm trying to look at the donation address.

Anyone else with this or am I alone? Tried different browsers and os but no help.

Good day.
I have downloaded wallet from site (win binary), tried to synk, after donwnloading some blocks wallet says - some error, restart wallet needet, then wallet draw about 1 gb ram + 30 % cpu and get error.

The log file is about 500 Mbyte LOL ))

I can confirm this, I tried to sync from scratch with windows laptop that hasn't seen xcn before, after 20 minutes I got this:



Resyncing attemp crashes to MinGW Runtime Assertion error, log file is 583mb.



I will look into it with bitfreak.

Tried again with that same laptop and settings. Now it synced two times from scratch in 14 minutes without errors. Hmmm...

You don't know how much I'm paying. Despite leaving open ended amounts to those I wish to employ they don't even look to do business with you.

True, I don't. I guess it's safe to say money isn't the reason for your recruiting problems, it must be something else...

224  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ccminer 2.2.1 - opensource - GPL (tpruvot) on: September 30, 2017, 10:55:39 PM
Not sure what this means? There aren't developers because there is someone willing to pay more? You don't even know what 'more' is in this situation.

Sorry, some editing, stupid me.

Let me put it this way: You are not paying enough.
225  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ccminer 2.2.1 - opensource - GPL (tpruvot) on: September 30, 2017, 10:35:03 PM
You'd think Cryptos would have attracted a lot more talent then they have as far as programming goes.

Someone pays more. No matter how big farm you build some builds bigger.

I'm sure you have seen this, could be fake:

Feel free to do it, good for xcn I guess. I just don't like this exchange first idea. But that is just poor me.

227  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: No longer profitable - ETH mining? on: September 30, 2017, 09:11:21 PM
The warranty here is only 3 months, you can't get your roi in 3 months, so after the 3 months all are a huge gamble, reason why I don't mine, no point, if the warranty was 24 months then maybe i would think about it. Also companies hardly cover the warranty even if they say that you will have a peace of mind time. Most of them just blame the end user and in the end they don't honor it.

Is it really that bad somewhere? That hardware must be cheap? Or not?

24/36 months here + manufacturer warranty (+ REALLY high VAT). They would kill their business if they didn't honor it.

Actually, if you run through mining numbers, the most profitable option was/ is? to buy some used ... gpu´s that are still under warranty, mine the shit out of them, fan fails--> next business day you have a new next generation card that is as good or better than the original was. Sell that with a REALLY nice profit.

Am I pissing to someone´s business? I don't know.

You want some profitable nvidia mining to happen? Next time something new is released contact tpruvot.

229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Solar powered CPU mining on: September 30, 2017, 07:23:55 PM
Solar power is most actual for south regions. But in this case another problem apears: a lot of heat. So the best for the mining is Hydro

Seriously, if not after profits or some crazy ideas like I am, the best use for solar power currently is to use that to power your ac.

Panels don't like heat and they really like clear sky.

That is a big if, I'm not a miner, my friend that lives in my area is, time to time he comes and ask if i can do few things for him.

Since April, before the surge in gpu prices he does not buy gpus or anything at all, in his mining place, since april he told me he lost 3 power supplies and 12 gpus, they just died, he got the warranty for 20% of the things he lost, 80% was out of the warranty period, here warranty for most things is only 3 months, so in 5 months he lost around $5000 and he only replaced the power supplies which stopped working.

The 12 gpu's that died he never replaced or bought others, gpu prices are and were expensive after april, right now there are plenty gpus to buy around $300 rx 580, gtx 1070 for $500 and he said people buying at these prices are bloody stupid cause they have no idea about things, maintenance, things break anytime, the heat and many other problems, He said he will mine till february next year and he will stop it.

He needs to pay the bank. See where this went, I on the other side only buy coins when people dump and sell coins when people pump, i have no problems to deal, the only thing i require is patience.

He said he never got his money back and he did not pay expensive prices for the gpu's and he is quite a knowledgeable man and understand markets and he is only mining cause he is in debt with the bank. I think his plan is to mine till february and then he will sell all his computer components and break even.

Your friend is doing some(every)thing wrong.

only buy coins when people dump and sell coins when people pump, i have no problems to deal, the only thing i require is patience.

Well said.

Patience, that is something these new miner generations don't have. If it takes 2 hours to find a block they are done and move to the biggest pool there is.

Sp_ is preparing his next 0.5 BTC by asking
KRLX can earn 0.25-0.5 BTC in bounties if he publish his work.

232  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: No longer profitable - ETH mining? on: September 30, 2017, 06:15:35 PM
You trolls have to be very careful saying profitability will be higher than now cause noobs see that as reassurance of their stupidity that might come to fruition hehe

Butbutbut if eth is $1000 by the end of this year? One should buy even more gpu's and do some temporarily negative mining. I mean, it pays in the end. It must pay.

No, wait... hehe

Did some quick tests with 4&8gb hawaii's, no gains compared to sgminer.

That wouldn't make him any different from sp. He chose to keep it free and THAT defines him Smiley (and yes, he deserves donations for what he has done. shame that it did not help him much)
It worked on lbc.

Epsylon3 is about the last man standing here, everyone else left for obvious reasons. Next time some "new" profitable algo to mine pops up I suggest you pm him.

You should make them first pay to you  Grin

237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ccminer 2.2.1 - opensource - GPL (tpruvot) on: September 30, 2017, 03:53:12 PM
With the lack of ccminer tips in 2017

Some things never change. All that timeskunktravelraptorhash mania and you never released any closed beta preview miners?

You should. Just because you can and you deserve it.

238  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Solar powered CPU mining on: September 29, 2017, 06:29:24 PM
I don't see the point of a dedicated solar system for mining. Solar is just one power source and mining is just one
power load. Why not connect the solar to the house power as a hybrid system where you can use solar for everything
when it's available and commercial power when not. This would avoid imbalances in power availability and load.
A dedicated solar mining system would either have excess load leaving some mining HW without power or
too much power that can't be absorbed by the mining HW and would have to be bled off and wasted. A hybrid system\
would ensure all the mining HW is mining all the time.

Hybrid systems are how it's generally done here, grid owner buys all the power small producer doesn't use himself. Price is daily spot http://www.nordpoolspot.com/.

But the original use case of solar systems was to bring the power to places that don't have (and never will) commercial power (for example an island or sahara), or it would be too expensive to build. Solar power made water pump or a small refrigerator in the middle of nowhere possible. For decades panels cost 4-5€/ watt so it wasn't cheap.

Then China started mass manufacturing of panels and today the price is 1€/ watt, ROI times fell below 10 years and we started to see solar panels everywhere.

Like I said, there is no point to build solar only powered mining rig but the idea itself is tempting. It's like mythbusters, can it be done? Can you, in theory, mine somewhere in the middle of pacific ocean?

I don't know how a fork could benefit the coin? You'd only need it for major rule changes for which I don't see a reason atm.
It might be nice to somehow speed up the diff adjustment on its way down. But then Mr 10GH simply comes back faster I guess...

So the only protection against him doing diff pump&dump is to get the coin more popular so his 10GH don't have much impact anymore.
And for that we need exchanges because the initial value for every coin is in speculation / trading based on its innovations and potential for the future.

Agreed, but if it at some point for some reason needs to be forked diff retargeting should be on the todo list.

Open source amd miner would help a lot, there's plenty of hashing power looking for a new home right now.

Some kind of battery and regulator is needed. Nothing to run that thing overnight but something to just keep it alive.

Batteries are still really expensive and they do max 6 years.

Mining hardware likes 12volts. It is possible.
