Yeah, anyday you want to release this miner that'll be good.

Curious though, I've asked for improvements to Cryptonote over the last couple years. Years ago when it was addressed I was told that there is no room for improvement because Cryptonote is so memory intensive.

well memory amount & bandwith available on gpu's sure skyrocked quite a bit since the last few years Smiley

This was about a year ago. Bandwidth hasn't increased much between 970s and 1070s. Smiley

Ahhh you said Years so i supposed it was 2+ years back Smiley Also well 970 against 1070, 1070 got 10% more mem bandwith, 50% more mem clock and 50% more memory (8gb against 4gb), this is quite big Smiley and also 20% more cuda cores aside from a few others things. Im eager to see what nvidia mining in 6 months will look, with all the optimisation coming, seems to get some traction Smiley well at least till the VEGA, that one seems very strong on paper Smiley

monero also wans't that strong back in the day in value, there was no real incentive to make a better miners, it was all about bot-fest...
2902  Economy / Speculation / Re: What would you consider a new ATH? on: January 05, 2017, 08:01:27 AM
2k? but a real ath should be 10x time higher, of the previous stable value

if we consider the previous stable one $700, then you need to reach $7k, which is highly improbable

one would think that passing above 1200 would be the new ath, but it is not even 2x the recent stable value($700), so i would just view it as a regular increase
2903  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: Can ASICS kills power supplies? on: January 05, 2017, 07:57:04 AM
chinese psu surely will burn first, but a good psu should automatically shutdown when you exceed the maximum power that cna be handled by your units

i tried to go above the maximum power rated on my psu and the system reboot, this was tried with gpu rig

it should work with asic too, but maybe with asic it does not work because you have not an entire pc connected to it, not sure about this

but i remember some pcie cable fried(here ont he forum) because someone exceeded the power a single rail
2904  Economy / Economics / Re: Guy loses 240-600 BTC trying to short on: January 05, 2017, 07:50:30 AM
it doesn't make sense to me, the practice of shorting, it's selling because you think the price is going down, if it is your or other money shouldn't matter at all

it's not spreading misinformation, that was my definition of it since the beginning, i didn't even have a look at it to wikipedia, therefore i'm not in agreement with that definition
2905  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin's Next Direction 2017 Predictions on: January 05, 2017, 07:47:04 AM
this is a strong pump, peak can really be 2k, with some price correction in between like at 900 we had one with a retreat to 875

if we can reach 2k it will not fall back again at 700, 1k look solid to me it can easily be the new bottom

you need also to know who is "playing the market" right now, if big players are in it can increase to unbelievable level
2906  Economy / Economics / Re: Guy loses 240-600 BTC trying to short on: January 05, 2017, 07:04:21 AM
He didn't lose the money, he just sold and got nothing from it. He lost what he could've gained, money he never had in hand.
You could say you lost as well, because a week ago you could've sold everything you had, put money in bitcoin and profit

Mate, are you serious?

If he didn't lose any money, who has profited then? Shorting means that he first had to borrow bitcoins (read pay interest on borrowed funds), then he sold the borrowed bitcoins hoping that the price will fall (it is called short sell). When the price actually went up, he had to buy back all the bitcoins he had sold earlier, at a higher price. Doesn't it mean that to buy back the same number of bitcoins he had to pay more dollars? And that would constitute his loss (you can calculate the losses in bitcoins if you wish). If the price went down (as the dude expected), he would again buy back the bitcoins, now at a lower price with less dollars, and the difference would make up his profit (you can count the profits in bitcoins as well)

not really maybe he had those bitcoin, i mean those bitcoin were owned by him, and he was shorting(which is stupid, with a bull market) to make even more

so right now he simply can not re enter the market anymore without losing, but he can keep the funds and go away

Did you read the OP (and the twitter post linked in it)?

If he sold his own funds, it wouldn't be a short sell in the first place. It would be just a sell, as what thousands people are doing on a regular basis every day. If you read the opening post, you would get an idea that it was a futures market where you buy and sell contracts, not actual bitcoins. The only way he could sell a futures contract without going short is when he bought it before and sold it later thus closing his position either at a loss or profit. In this case, it would be profit, not loss, since the price is going up

if you are trading shorting simple mean to buy back after selling, it does not really matter if they are your funds or not, it doesn't make sense to say that you can't short with your money

the same for going long

can the core handle in the future an embedded blockexplorer, so we don't need to go to blockchaininfo and akin?
Core already has a block explorer of sorts built in. If you enable the transaction index with -txindex in the startup command, then you will be able to use the debug console to lookup the details of any transaction and block that your node has received and accepted.

If you want a nice looking GUI and all, that probably won't happen.

interesting, but apparently it's incompatible with the prune mode for clear reasons, so i need to dl the blockchain again
2908  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner on: January 04, 2017, 09:18:14 PM
EWBF's miner has practically never allowed multiple instances to run on a PC, whether on Linux or Windows OS.

This is because, there are substantial differences between the two.

The Nicehash miner has always allowed more than one instance to be run.

Therefore, there is nothing to complain about, unless you think both are identical.

i can run 2+ instances of this miner without problems, what you are talking about exactly?
2909  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: January 04, 2017, 07:22:03 PM
Sooooooooo _sp, are you gonna keep your XMR miner private or release it under any form ? The world wish to know  Cool

 Grin

at present it need to do 1000 hash with a single 1070 to compete with zcash
2910  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Ethereum's Block Reward might be reduced from 5 ETH to 1.5 ETH on: January 04, 2017, 11:33:47 AM
They have proposed another EIP.

https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/189

Basically we will get the 5 ETH block reward however we won't be able to sell it until after ETH goes POS. Seems nobody likes miners anymore. And will do anything to promote a price pump.



but apparently they were fine when vitalik dumped is 1M in etheruem, good grief the etheruem comunity is retarded, any coin without pow will die eventually

pow work good Bitcoin is the best example you have...although the block reward/time was kinda off on ethereum form the start, there is indeed too much daily production

2912  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RX 470 are even cheaper now on: January 04, 2017, 08:05:24 AM

not really true a 1080 can do 535 sol now. even if it cost you $500 it's worth it

currently 1 sol for every $1 invested is a good compromise

 1080s normally run more like $600-$650.
 I don't think I've EVER seen one with a price tag under $589 as new cards (that is lowest current SALE price on Newegg).


 They also have a MSI RX 470 on sale at $169 (as well as the Sapphire blower-style cards like the ones I bought and I think one other card by someone else) - not sure it it's Phil's favorite version or not offhand, but it looks like a no-backplate design.





yeah i know that they are sold at $500, but still at 589 with 535 sol they are not that bad, keep in mind that the miner is not finally optimized yet

as logn as you have 1/1 ratio between hash and $, it's good for me
2913  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: As a miner, why do you mine rather than buy and hold? on: January 04, 2017, 08:00:36 AM
the simple difference is that if you buy you will not have more bitcoin, but only more fiat in the case bitcoin go big

if you mine you will have more bitcoin, if you sell your equipments back at certain point

i would buy if the roi is very very long, otherwise it's better to mine, both have their risk
2914  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will be reach to $2000 at the end of 2017 ? on: January 04, 2017, 07:54:47 AM
this is too far for a good prediction, if it will increase too fast a big dump will occur at some point, i'm already happy with a stable and a new bottom at 1k for now
2915  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do you buy Bitcoins? on: January 04, 2017, 07:52:26 AM
October last year is the best time to buy bitcoins cause it was only at 750$. And now it is 1035$,im happy to those lucky holders who bought bitcoin when it was at 750$.  I definitely going to buy some bitcoins cause the demand keep increasing everyday.

the best time was at $400-500 at best not 700, it was at the beginning of 2016 after the first surge from the last big dump

personally i'm holding to see how bitcoin will be in the future if it will get recognize like it deserve and replace fiat in some country

i'll never dump a satoshi to fiat, waiting to use it directly on amazon or other big that still are not accepting it

I use bitcoin as an investment, i also use it since i am paid with bitcoin for my work

what work? are you using bitwage?
2916  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: NOW is a good time for a hack! on: January 04, 2017, 07:48:55 AM
lol, first of all I dont think hack gtc is so easy to do it whenever you want, at the other hand there is a second problem, if someone make working btc hack he will not sell it to others , I dont think so, and 3. btc is well protected to able someone hack its bases

you can't hack bitcoin, or the address directly  if that what you mean no matter what tool you have, the only way will be putting at dangerous the ecdsa which is one of the step for getting the private key, with quantum computer

but you can hack an exchange like it happened many times already, because of their incompetence, but i believe it was an insider all the time...
2917  Economy / Speculation / Re: HOW FAR WILL BITCOIN GO IN 2017? EXPERTS WEIGH IN WITH PREDICTIONS on: January 04, 2017, 07:45:39 AM
almost every single expert ended up with egg on their faces with their 2014 predictions so i'm not gonna listen to any of them. i think it's gonna be a very promising year but let's see. it's been a great start. even if it sits around here for months it's still a big confidence boost.

well that was different bitcoin began with a dump in 2014 not with a pump, besides this pump has nothign to do with the manipulated one from 2013

i can say without worry that 1k have a high probability to be the ew bottom already, but i also believe that there will be a great price correction, never once when a good price increase like that happened, it was not followed by a big dump also...
2918  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is up with Bitcoin? on: January 04, 2017, 07:43:15 AM
it simple, bitcoin previously was massively dumped, and all the value that it had under $500 were basically fake, if big istitution begin to enter in play you will see an unprecedent skyrocketing

i still believe that bitcoin is undervalued for what it offer and by the end of this decade 2k will be probably the  new bottom
2919  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RX 470 are even cheaper now on: January 03, 2017, 09:56:51 PM
What are the best GPUs for mining altcoins? isn't it odd that there are GPUs priced at $1000 and even more but when you benchmark them you'll see that for mining they are not worth a penny Smiley

 Mining has almost NEVER had a use for the high-end cards.
 They're all about GAMING.


 Keep in mind that cryptocoin mining by the standards of AMD is a SMALL market on it's best day - and outside of EVGA and it's backing for FAH isn't even a BLIP in the market for NVidia.



That is right. I usually the middle cards for mining.

not really true a 1080 can do 535 sol now. even if it cost you $500 it's worth it

currently 1 sol for every $1 invested is a good compromise
2920  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner on: January 03, 2017, 07:59:34 PM
16 sol added on every gpu, with .9 version, this is on par with the last nicehash miner, but not the new one released today
