I wonder how high it will go. I bought some back in October which is now worth almost twice as much.

Anyone's mining it with 750 Ti's on windows? If so, what speed? I get ridiculously low speeds on them and 18.8Mhs per 970 (1450/7800mhz). With another version I get ~19 Mhs but nothing gets sent to the pool.

Any optimizations could be very lucrative to the devs.

Out of over 200 wallets I dealt with my favourite is probably Spreadcoin's wallet (pic). I wish it could be shrunk to a smaller size and offered other color themes though.
My least favourite wallet (ignoring buggy and unstable wallets like Ultracoin, MonetaryUnit, etc) is definitely Vanillacoin's wallet.

This has been discussed many times and there isn't any great distribution methods that are both fair and anonymous. You can either game the system or you have to give up anonimity.

Basically you have to find something that everyone has, but they only have one.

Litecoin really doesn't offer anything extra and I'm shocked that it's still relevant. It's also assumed to be heavily manipulated which makes it even worse.

I use 2^32 * diff_coin / my_hashrate * 1e6 / 60 / 60 to get my block finding frequency based on diff for other coins (that are not quark) but that doesn't seem to be applicable for Ethereum.

I'm more interested in a calculator that is based on the difficulty instead of network hashrate and block time since low blocktimes are not particularily accurate.

Following this. How frequent the payouts are for farmers?

Probably, but I don't know any.
Two things came to mind though; the first being that custom frames like you linked preserve their prices well, so you can resell them anytime. The second thing is that for beginners wood is probably not the best idea because wood is flammable. Granted, you'd need to mess up royally to have it catch on fire but still, it's not unheard of.

Looks great if you don't mind spending that much on it. I mean it looks great and it's easy to use but it pushes your ROI way back.

I prefer making my own frames with wood similar to this (not mine) which is dirt cheap and spend the excess on another GPU or better PSU.

Without changes to diff retarded it will also be instamined. And reducing the MN requirement to 1 from 1000 is pointless.
Why would you reduce it at all when mining this will be super easy?

I'm not from the US but here are the prices available to me:
UD3: $138
G3420: $69
H81 Pro BTC: $66

And they are all in stock (for now).

Because for the price of an UD3 I can get both a H81 and a Pentium G3420.

You're using twitter in an attempt to speak to someone - that's you're problem right there.

Jesus, that guy is sketchy as fuck. I wouldn't trust him with my food, let alone with an exchange.

I agree a lot with you there. And don't worry, I also have a few people ignored.

Anyway, I'm still using an old version of release 6x because a few percentages doesn't worth it to me to spend 0.1 or to use a miner that has potentional issues - being a small miner with ~2KW worth of hardware.

I'm also not a fan of unplanned and undisclosed private miner releases, like price changes and how many people it's going to get sold for and when it gets opensourced.
For example, the pentablake miner was started at 0.3 BTC for 5 people only but then it was decided that more people can buy it and then its price was reduced to 0.1 BTC out of nowhere screwing early investors;


And let's be honest here, the only people buying that miner are either just wanted to donate or have a ridiculously huge farm or just suck at math because even if they were mining every single pentablake block when Joincoin was hot, it would have took them 6 days to break even not accounting for electricity and the profit of mining anything else. So realistically, even for huge farms it would have taken weeks to break even let alone being profitable.


As much as I respect SP as a coder, I'd never pay for a miner that's release conditions and price are not clearly disclosed in advance.
And honestly, asking for 0.1 BTC for a few percentages every single day knowing damn well that it doesn't worth it for anyone who doesn't have a massive farm is getting pretty desperate and quite old here.

I've donated to several devs what I felt I should and I wouldn't mind donating a lot more but the constant bickering and begging and lack of competition is making me feel like I should just give up on this part of the forum.

Any idea why this tool only runs on the 6th card and throws an error for any other card (64 bit, 32 bit works fine)?

In a 4 card rig it only works with the 4th card.



Nice catch 

I like the idea and I like EGC but I wouldn't call staking mining.

Now this is a great service.
