yup thats one reason wifi is turned off on my phone when away from home.

exactly.

i figure that any devices i design for machine leaning purposes must include extremely high data rate wireless connectivity as i fully expect 99% of them to be destroyed learning various "hold muh beer" scenarios. the last second or so of the data each provides should prove instructive.

to be fair, and assuming its waterproof, the machine learning algorithm might see this as a great learning opportunity about how evolution works.

yup thats one reason i swapped one of the 1080tis to the ubuntu box. the windows miner and the *nix miner talk to the cards differently, at least in the initial miner. i believe in *nix the acorns can directly use the pcie lanes right to the card whereas the windows miner all communication is through the cpu, then the card. i might be wrong of course.

in the ubuntu rig that card will be in a x8 slot and a 215+ in the mobos M2, so 4 pcie lanes to it. ill compare it to the other 1080ti/215+ in the onda win10 rig in various slot/nest combinations.

you DO know what thread youre in right?

love it when i get to open someones eyes to BTC

rearranged some stuff with my new financial guy (basically we fired the old one a few years back) , when i 1st met him and told him about my btc stack and its worth he said i should sell most of it. and to be honest if he DIDNT recommend that i would of fired him on the spot. after all, thats his job; pointing out potential financial mistakes.

but he was fascinated with it. we talk about it every time i see him.

and btw i mentioned to him about having anyone invest ~1% of ones finical worth in btc is a good move if you dont mind possibly losing. as it has a very limited downside (only the actual cost of what one bought) and possibly an insane profit.

we kid about how most all our investments are in the low risk category.. as i tell him the crazy risky stuff (btc) i have covered 

the blockchain can be copied and then used anywhere.

since its so big and my internet stupid slow that it would literally takes months to sync from genesis i regularly backup the whole thing to various offline harddrives and store them here and there (offsite as well) as well as the automated rightly backup to a raid nas at the house.

just be sure you have your wallet well encrypted if thats in the backup too.

a separate backup on a disconnected external drive saved me months of syncing one time when the blockchain on the daily driver got corrupted and that propagated to the nas backup too before i caught it. so do rolling or incremental backups to local nas (so you can roll back to a good copy) if automated nightly backups are your thing.

although that satellite broadcasted blockchain looks like is really worth looking into. im really wanting to pull the trigger on that.

if wheelchair tech evolves my buds and i will be having rock crawling contests and eighth mile drag races with them. i think we will be able to have fun in our old age. 

robotic personal assistants will do the wrenching and monitoring meds for us, as well as handling the occasional "hold muh beer" moments and get us to a hospital.

bminer 14.2.0, ubuntu 18.04lts, cuda 10, 417.x  nvidia driver, 1080ti, C31 on grinmint.

around 80% rejected shares, many miner restarts due to "too many rejects" "no shares within 900 seconds" a couple others. then it locked my machine when i went to exit with a ctrl-c in the term window.

got my 1080ti running under ubuntu on c31 using bminer 14.2.0 at grinmint. about 0.93 H/s

after maybe 15 mins its at 2 accepted, 4 rejected shares

sure its experimental c31 support but looks like more experimentation is in order.

EDIT went to 2 accepted, 6 rejected then bminer proclaimed "too many rejects" and restarted. then a bit later  i saw "no shares in 900 seconds" or something similar. and another restart.

EDIT 2 used ctrl-c to exit miner term session and the whole rig locked up.

think ill pass on bminer 14.4.0 c31 on grinmint for now

yea i make around ~0.6 a day, did a ~0.6 payout a couple days ago. guess thats out.

i dislike having coins on pools for anymore than a days earning or so, its a pita as youre stuck leaving coin for the pool when you stop under that amount unless you time it just right. inconvenient for lazy sods like myself that like to be able to switch coins/pools on a whim.

the low payout was a main reason i stayed at grinmint.

EDIT: @BobLawblaw minimum payout is why you left f2pool wasnt it? great, now you brought minimum payouts to grinmint. nice going Bob

217 gb on my machine

exactly this.

need to move your coins every 10 years? riiiight so when will it be 5 years? 3 years? 1 month?

i had btc in paper wallets for over 5 years. only moved them to split out the bcash_lol from them, or they would still be there.. so that would be 7+ years without moving. so what? they are MINE to leave there forever if i so chose.

bitcoin ever implements this im out 100% because i wont trust it any other way than coins stay where they are put forever until the private key holder moves them.

here is the line in my .bat file for bminer with grinpool grinmint on win10. bolded italics need your email/rigname/password swapped in and all on a single line of course.

bminer -uri cuckaroo29://BOB%%40GMAIL.COM%%2FRIGNAME:PASSWORD@us-east-stratum.grinmint.com:3416 -api 127.0.0.1:1880

i believe you only need the password once when you 1st set up the miner/worker account. but i left mine in the bat file. poor security on my part but im a lazy sob, and i xfer out the grin once a day anyway.

checked just now. on grinmint

3 card/win10 rig reports
pool 12.3
bminer 14.3

ubuntu 1080ti
pool 6.7
bminer 7.0

my pool reported average hashrate wanders between 18 and 21 g/s vs the more or less steady 21 g/s reported by the two miner instances.

but ive read bminer reports are a bit optimistic.

ill update in the morning.

i cant say embrace attacks or forks. but. if a coin or money transfer or wealth storage system cant survive such attacks it doesnt deserve the position. there is no such thing as "nice" when building empires.

its not like it takes a rocket scientist to think up attacks like forking. there will be countless more. its even possible one/some will be better. although that may make no difference. look at betamax vs vhs videotape formats.

every fork/attack that fails proves bitcoins superiority. would you trust it like you do now without it having survived all that it has? i know i trust it far more now than i did in 2011.

continuation of hashrates discussion from Grin Observer thread here:

which is low? pool or bminer?

ubuntu rig has ubuntu 18.04LTS, nvidia  417.xx driver (i believe will check later), CUDA 10, bminer 14.1, celeron 1840, Z97X mobo, 8gb ram 120 gb ssd. using iGPU for display, the 10880ti is the only videocard. no real cpu load, it runs fpga miner and grin wallet/node code occasionally with no seeming impact on hashrate.

card is gigabyte aorus 1080ti, running stock.

EDIT: just remembered i have both the iGPU and the 1080ti outputting the desktop in mirrored mode to my KVM, the desktop was messed up with either alone. musta done something stupid to X when i was installing the nvidia driver (i just moved the 1080ti to this rig a couple weeks ago).

moving reply to that thread.

thanks for putting up with this Hairy.
