miners are currently working against themselves by increase the diff for nothing, just to still bitcoin to other farm, they are not increase their profitability

i hope they are clever enough to keep adding device yo their farm, it's pointless, only good for increase their electricity

if the 1060 does 300 sol at 87 watt it's not better than a 1070 that can reach 400 sol at 100watt

if it was the 3GB version that i would say it is better because of the price but the 6gb is expensive

My 1070's does 365 Sol/s at 90W (no OC) so yes, you probably right about it, 1070 is still better  Grin

I don't have a 3GB version to test, but i will never buy one anyway, because in a year from now it would be very difficult to sell, because nobody will want a 3GB card anymore, even the GTX 970 G1 Gaming which is a fantastic gpu, is difficult to sell well nowadays because of the memory.

if i can get my hands on one i will do the tests and report.

this is my exact reason why i ignored the 3gb version, for resale value

also it's on the way the new pascal refresh, 2070 and 2080 model they are faster than current one but same price, another reason not to have a dead card that cannot be resold
If they release those two GPU's with GDDR5X it will suffer the same issues as the 1080, assuming they haven't figured out the latency issue.

the current hashrate of a 1080 is better than the 1070, there is no issue with zcash but with dagger for what i understood
GTX 1080      2560   20   530 sol/s   26.5
GTX 1070      1920   15   430 sol/s   28 2/3
GTX 1060      1280   10   300 sol/s   30
GTX 1060 3GB   1152    9   273 sol/s   30 1/3
I was thinking more of how it compares with per compute core performance.
and the largest jumps are between the GTX 1060 and 1070.  If I had numbers it would also be between the GTX 1060 3GB and GTX 1050 Ti even if I gave the GTX 1050 Ti the 10% increase it should be around 156 sol's and the GTX 1050 would be around 138



core clock should be considered it will be much higher
2843  Economy / Speculation / Re: Prepare for another year or two of dramatic decline. on: January 09, 2017, 10:40:31 AM
it will not be at all what you said, last time was 1200-800--600---200, right now is 700-1200-800-900

this time is completely different than 2013, this increase is rock solid from 200, that one was certainly not

you are comparing an increase of 10x in 2013, to one of 33%, it's clear which one was just pump and dump

I don't care about the price, hype or manipulation. I look at protocol and network fundamebtals and how basic markets and economics can work.

Yet literally 90% of your threads are doomsday crap about the price about to drop with no reason, no evidence and frankly no logic. You've been wrong so many times it's impossible to take you as a credible source at this point.


My predictions are based on the critical issues i pointed out above and on many other occasions. However, this is not the only effect at work. Hype and manipulation are an extremely strong factor still. This does not mean my points are invalid. At best it means i have underestimated the strength of the hype and manipulation in the past.

they are going to fix the scaling at least in part, a 2MB hardfork was supposed to happen this year, since miners are rejecting segwit apparently

2845  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Can Hit $2K ? on: January 09, 2017, 07:46:20 AM
Bitcoin could have hit $2000 but it seems their are too many people pulling back the price whenever it exhibits some momentum by dumping..

i don't think so, it just went high too fast and of course it was dumped for profit, who dumped bought back and has established a new bottom
2846  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is the minimum profitable price? on: January 09, 2017, 07:44:43 AM
was i mean is that the bitcoin need only to be above the electricity cost in value, to be profitable for them to mine, the diff is climbing now because the value is very high

otherwise if it was low it would stay the same, miners are not that stupid to add other device in that case, so i would not take account of the diff increase

also their new equipment can roi in no time because they have a huge hashpower already
2847  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price is being manipulated in China on: January 09, 2017, 07:17:28 AM
you would really need a lot of money to do this and would still take a high risk. plus we can profit by selling high and buying low. so why should i care. bitcoin is all about the price lately anyways.

you said it as you know when it is high and when it is low, could you have predicted the bottom and then the current value? i really doubt

their manipulation is to eat fish that think can predict the market, like you and other, and yes they have plenty of bitcoin to manipulate the market, miners alone have in the range of 100k if not more

this estimate can be easily achievement with the big miners farm that worked for all these years, i also believe that some of the big pool can work together to manipulate the price if it is done at their advantage
2848  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin: Commodity, Store of Value or Digital Currency? on: January 09, 2017, 07:15:26 AM
it's all those thing together and it work better than gold, because it act a meant of payment too as a better one than gold

one can argue that all the pump and dump will not make it a good store of value, because your money can depreciate fast, but what you need to follow is the average increase

if you look from the beginning bitcoin is increase each year, the peak and the bottom count basically zero

and if it wasn't a digital currency it would not have this value at all, just take a look at the altscene they are bound to fail because of this reason
2849  Economy / Economics / Re: What influences the Bitcoin marketplace? on: January 09, 2017, 07:12:48 AM
supply and demand, but china play a big role in manipulating the market, because they control the mining activity and they invested a lot in cash, they also are far great in number than other in the world

this mean that their influence will have a greater effect, then you have the panic sellers and dumpers which follow the trend, and magnify the trend in play
2850  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Money laundering via BTC on: January 09, 2017, 07:10:33 AM
it is and it's the reason why the government don't like it, and why in some country it's banned, but there are way to know if your money were used for illegal activity

the so called "taunt"(if i remember correctly) bitcoin, have their value reduced this was also a problem for the bitcoin fungibility
2851  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner on: January 08, 2017, 08:11:54 PM
hey guys , i can tell you that over 500 sol on a gtx 1070 Zotac mini i have reached yesterday, i think i saw yesterday on my card 525 sol by core clock 195 and and memory at 602. on full Power mode 112 % no problem you can reach 500 sol easy :-)

consumption is probably 180watt with that oc, not worth it
2852  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner on: January 08, 2017, 06:24:28 PM
500 H/s from single graphic card hitted!

Looking for that for a while.

Anyway Claymore has updated his miner, up to 6-8%. In fact it's time to update EWBF.
Our cards are  already faster than AMD at less power, but I'll always take more speed
- improved speed for most cards, up to 8% (depends on card model). About 340H/s on stock 390X, 255H/s on stock RX480, 320H/Fury x on stock Nano.

seems that the 1060 is the new king here, $200 for 300 sol at 70watt, not even the 1070 is better

I do 400 @ 92w but the price is half, so yeah pretty much what you say, king Smiley

not sure anymore, it seems only the 6gb can do 300 sol, reports from users are not very clear, it depend on the model i guess, and the wattage is unknown

but the 6GB don't cost half of a 1070, more like 1/3 less

Yeah it depend on the model, if i take the EVGA roughtly the price is 199€ for 1060 3GB - 250€ for 1060 6GB - 499€ for 1070 but that's the price we have here gonna be different for everyone of course.

I'll have a closer look @ this, for faster ROI 1060 could be interesting, but overall the 1070 is still the best when you think longevity i think Smiley

at 499 definitely it's still better to go with the 6gb version of the 1060, but i have the 1070 at 420 euro here
2853  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining questions on: January 08, 2017, 04:09:48 PM
That seems to be true, although on ethereum it does not mine as good as amd cards, i've seen alot of coins come and pass while ethereum is still somehow standing, so will focusing on mining zcash will be worth it? and will it be a long process like ethereum is?

etheruem it's not worth it anymore, i see better future for anon coin, also they are planning to reduce the reward, the same for exapanse, and shift is dead, so all the dag algo are doomed to fail

but the 6GB don't cost half of a 1070, more like 1/3 less

Maybe I can clear it up a little (too bad i didn't film it when i did the tests yesterday)
Rig used: AM1M-S2H with APU 5350, PSU sentey 80 Plus (superflower desing) 850W, bronce-gold efficiency, no HDD (flashdrive) linux 1404

Power: 18W
with card Gigabyte GTX 1060 (6GB) G1 Gaming Version 1 (and no, it does not whine at all hehe), At 80W TPL,  runing EWBF 010b, 98% utilization
Power: 105W  (so 105 - 18 = 87W)

measured at the wall with two meters, a direct type (industrial panel meter trueRMS, that gets W, VA, A, V) and with a top of the line appa trueRMS  clamp meter same measure exactly).

the card is extremely efficient, i think it's better in terms of efficiency compared to GTX 1070 but, at least here in my country, the price doesn't make sense.

Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming costs here: 675 US Dollars
Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming (6GB version) costs here: 506 US dollars

so, because of the price here 1070 is better, but looking at international prices, it would be better 1060 i think.

i can do tests with same rig with 1070's and 970s if anyone's interested on that data.
i have those test equipments because it's what i do for a living (power electronics)  Grin

if the 1060 does 300 sol at 87 watt it's not better than a 1070 that can reach 400 sol at 100watt

if it was the 3GB version that i would say it is better because of the price but the 6gb is expensive

What is the hash rate on gtx 1060 3G on last version? Does it affect on speed 3G and 6G card version?

I just tested a (borrowed) Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6GB version 1 (no coil whine btw)

at 80W TPL i get 262 Sol/s Stock (no OC)
at 90W TPL i get 248 Sol/s Stock (WTF?? more power consumption less hashrate? ,crazy!)

i cannot test below 80W TPL because my driver is a little old, but i wouldn't be surprise that at 70W TPL the card will perform better and hash more Grin

What i didn't like it's the temperature, 64 C (core) at 80W TPL, WHAT??, My GTX 1070 G1 Gaming barely gets over 57 C at 90W TPL.
Also the backplane is so hot that you can barely touch it.

I don't have a 3GB version but it should be 10% less hashrate, not less. (because of less cuda cores).

Test done on Lubuntu 1404, Cuda 8, driver 367.44.

are you sure about getting 9only 262 sol? another guy reported 300 sol

good job:

1070 +100 core , power limit. 70 = 430ish
1060 6g +100 core , power limit 70 = stable 300
1080 +100 core = stable 530

950 +51 core, +195 mem, PL 80 = 136sol's
1060 3GB +185 core, +350 mem, PL 80 = 268-273
2858  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining questions on: January 08, 2017, 12:36:59 PM
the most efficient is not on amd for sure, the 1060 seems to be the best deal for zcash, it can hash at 300 sol and only 70watt, no other gpu come close

price is also cheap so amd fanboy will not have excuse about "overpriced gpu"

well it depend on the specs, first batch would probably be on par with gpu, you can't kill gpu mining, the money will simply move elsewhere

to monero/zcoin(new algo) to lbry again/something new
