241  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Question on PCI-E raiser cable and GPU miner on: June 18, 2015, 09:40:20 AM
If you buy the ASrock pro BTC H61 or H81 http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H81%20Pro%20BTC/
you do not need PCIE riser.

If you do not overclock, and undervolt you GPU, you only need to have 20-50% of the cards with powered riser.
... and use only one gpu, yep you don't need a riser... otherwise I want to know how you fit the gpu into the small pcie...

... and plugging the molex into mobo increase the chance that the mobo will burn as well

Sorry, I mean you do not need powered risers. I have 8 GPUs on the 6 slots, working fine.

8 gpus? How do you achieve this with only 6 slots?

I use dual gpu cards such as 7990. 4X7990 = 8 GPU. 3X7990+2X7970 = 8 GPU.

I use as many gpu as possible to reduce the overhead cost of system. So the total cost (electricity) per card is lower.

If you undervolt and underclock, you will not use the full 75W PCIE power/current.

H61/81 is good as they have two on board molex socket. These cards are built for mining, so they are robust.

I give you an unselfish advice : if you wan't to keep your money or make profit don't use cloud mining service. They are all proven to be scam or deluding, whatever they look to be. Buy coins directly or try to sell service for coins and wait for value to rise. You won't be able to become rich by trusting all the scammers here.

Everytime someone propose you something miraculous, ask yourself why he wants to make you rich Smiley


Totally agree.

Since a transaction fee is essentially a tax, couldn't governments setup mining operations and become the majority of the miners then require that all transactions have large transaction fees otherwise they won't include them in blocks? This would essentially be taxing any and every Bitcoin transaction, and they could earn even more from all of the shady illegal stuff that occurs through Bitcoin but isn't taxed when using fiat.

If mining is controlled by one government, then it can impose a rule like you describe. If many governments and individuals are involved, then there will be competition.

Everyone will be using the Bitcoin blockchain to run their banking infrastructures, because it doesn't make sense to use any other blockchain. Not using the Bitcoin blockchain = guaranteeing your shit will get hacked. For some reason they STILL keep the "blockchain tech" thing but tend to avoid the part where a cryptocurrency is basically the fuel that keeps the blockchain running.

If everyone uses bitcoin blockchain, your home computer will not be able to cope with the size.

Some mutuals (building society) can pass on the savings.

You may use AMD uninstaller to clean up the drivers and then install again.
246  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: easiest scrypt-based coin to solo mine via gpu? on: June 16, 2015, 07:21:54 PM
The best coin to mine at the moment is Goldcoin (GLD) because it's the best coin!  Tongue

is it profitable to mine with a single gpu given the current difficulty at the moment?

No.

Governments will come in support of Bitcoins if the value of Bitcoins grow. Government is waiting for that day when the value of bitcoin grows and becomes more stable so they can collect taxes from the bitcoin accepting companies.

It's all about tax Grin

Old coins have more user base. It can be accumulated for long term and for larger sum. Most those coins will be dumped again.
250  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: what different POS and POW ? on: June 14, 2015, 10:44:44 AM
With PoW, you have to use hardware and more electricity to earn coins. With PoS, you have to use the existing coin to earn more coins.
251  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Free Power, Cheap VGA, what to mine? on: June 14, 2015, 10:39:43 AM
Mine quark algorithm in the nicehash.
252  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: gpu memory clock stuck at 1600mhz on: June 14, 2015, 10:35:43 AM
You may use MSI afteterburner to set the memory freuquency.

254  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Which Altcoin you are Mining? on: June 14, 2015, 10:27:20 AM
1 Bytecoin =)

For that amount, I can offer you this answer: altcoins are dead. Buy an ASIC on ebay, at least a year old, new ones are crap. You'll be a millionaire in a few days. When you hit a billion, you can come to whale island.
Can you convert the bytecoin to BTC before you send it to me?

 Grin Grin Grin

Just buy the bitcoin directly. It is not profitable to mine for most people paying electricity.
255  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: MasterCard makes the case that it’s safer and faster than Bitcoin! LOL on: June 14, 2015, 07:58:10 AM
I'm surprised to see so many critics of Mastercard. It's a good service, with millions of satisfied customers all over the world. What we must see is that BTC is much more than Mastercard because it's also a currency. Mastercard is only a fast and efficient payment system. You cannot invest any money in a Mastercard.

Mastercard can adopt bitcoin and ensure instant transaction like fiat. However, the profit for Mastercard might be lower than before when bitcoin becomes more popular.
256  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [VTC] Lyra2RE Vertcoin optimized miner, NOW WITH SOURCES! on: June 13, 2015, 10:04:35 AM
The power consumption would be around 110W each 280X card.
257  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [POOL] YAAMP.COM multipool multialgo profit switch with exchange on: June 13, 2015, 10:03:17 AM
To yaamp:

What's up with SAK? I was mining quark when SAK went live and got a share of the first block (1773850)
but then it just vanished from my earnings. The pool shows the block as matured. Where did my share go?


If we mine SAK, will we get DDoSed?

How many years to eat the ~34 bitcoin sell wall @ 14/15 sats? Whoever tried that crazy manipulation and bought up to 180 sats last week should hang in their head in shame. 180sats ... absolute madness!!

It just bought out the dumpers. You BCN guys really know how to kill great tech don't you!

There are crazy people for everything, remember that crazy guy that bought 2 pizzas for 10 000 BTC.

180 sat seems crazy today, but the future is unknown.
That guy was not crazy. 10,000 BTC was worth 2 pizzas them.

259  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: easiest scrypt-based coin to solo mine via gpu? on: June 10, 2015, 02:46:07 PM
If you want to make profit, then do not mine scrypt coins, as they are mined with ASIC.
260  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [VTC] Lyra2RE Vertcoin optimized miner, NOW WITH SOURCES! on: June 10, 2015, 02:29:50 PM
vertcoin got pumped. time for pallas to ask for donation from amd-lovers ))) I'm on nvidia, so - sorry )))

there are donation hints all over the thread and in the miner itself... they just don't want to ;-)

It is still more profitable for 280x/7970 users to mine Quark instead of vertcoin.
