well their competition it's already dead because EWBF provide already a pool unlocked miner, so i see no point for them to keep their version closed source

Because they're incapable of improving their miner, just like EWBF can't either? Your logic sometimes really blows my mind. When you open source something everyone adopts whatever makes your miner better into theirs.

you clearly didn't understand my point, i repeat, there is no point in them having their miner closed source when there is already another oen with almost the same speed that can mine on any pool

they have understood this finally

You realize they have been the ones releasing faster versions first right? You could just as easily say 'because Nicehash continually releases a faster miner, you should open source yours' to EWBF. Conversely then Nicehash coders would adopt EWBFs code.

The whole reason it's closed source is so someone doesn't copy their code. Whether or not they can or can't mine on all pools is independent of the coding effort put into it.

I understood your point perfectly, it's just dumb and doesn't really make sense when it comes to IP.

it's faster by what 2-5%? pointless when they actually pay less in the end, their miner have no reason to stay closed source, and this was true already with the first version of EWBF not now

But EQM have 100% cpu load, EWBF only 10%.     Nice hash fee more than 2% fee.  

Using EWBF and the normal pools i earn more $$$ than I get when I use your EQM.

If you are Robinhood and want to protect miners from dev fees, then lay out a miner that not locked on nicehash.
More like what you are simply unhappy that we have miner with a similar hashrate, and use the normal pools, not nicehash

both have same consumption and same load for me, what are you talking about?

it's like their are based on the same code...EWBF can really be the one that is coding for nicehash and on top of that he released another copy paste version with 2% fee so he earn even more...

Zpool is broken, we all know that.


Bensam is right again.

I did a small test on zpool.ca and mined to a LBRY adress directly instead of autoexhange to BTC. A block was found, and I should have recieved 32.22LBRY, but I only got 24.5 LBRY.

25% is gone



so they are clearly scamming

eh those idiots rightly believe that segwits may introduce some unknown security hole to the bitcoin environment, because it was not fully tested yet and bug can also appear at some point

if some sort of bug/exploit will emerge then you are forced to hard fork anyway, it's a gamble, it's better to directly hard fork to 2MB anyway
2986  Economy / Speculation / Re: Manipulation finished. Bubble popping. on: December 30, 2016, 07:49:20 AM
nah what i see is a price correction, liek the one that happened before we reached $900, it returned back a little, it will repeat the same story now

it can go pumped forever you know that would be stupid to think, but i also don't believe we are ready for $1k yet
2987  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin halving to be canceled? on: December 30, 2016, 07:47:50 AM
Being inflation free is the best benefit we can have with bitcoins, apparently we are all investors here and why we patronize bitcoins because we expect that it could give us a good benefits and maybe make a fortune out of it.

But there is always a limit to such growth

Really, trees don't grow to the sky. When Bitcoin price begins to stagnate, many long-term holders will like to cash out and call it a day. If Bitcoin doesn't get traction as a means of payment among merchants and service providers till then (which would render speculation inconsequential), it may suffer heavy losses and its price will decline. Obviously, we are still far from that point of saturation and can safely continue to speculate with bitcoins without risking to turn into the only ones left standing and holding the bag

Your reply is kinda caricatural. Long-term holders will probably never sell their bitcoins. As for exemple, I will never sell mine, since the purpose of Bitcoin is to be the money, not to be traded for money once its value compared to fiat will have grown to a certain point. I don't count in fiat money, but only in Bitcoin. For me the biggest problem in a global Bitcoin acceptance if that people are counting their money, even when in Bitcoin, in fiat. For me 0,01BTC is 0,01BTC, not 9,274$

Really, I'm quite happy that there are people who are willing to hold the bag for us, opportunistic traders and short-term holders. But, to be honest, I don't typically believe when people start claiming similar things, that they will hold no matter how small or high the price might be. Not that I'm saying that they are deliberately lying, they may definitely think so when they say something to that tune. But as the saying goes, when money talks bullshit walks. People are not very reliable in this aspect, given how many things can affect their opinion...

Any sane person would exchange his bitcoins for fiat if he was in urgent need for money (e.g. due to contingency or other adverse events)

and why? you can go ahead and simply use your coin instead of wasting fee on exchanging them for fiat, there are many service that accept bitcoin

when bitcoin will reach a very large scale and almost everyone will accept it, it's there that you will not need fiat anymore

it's all about merchants acceptance, if for example amazon or any real supermarket that deliver foods where already accepting bitcoin nowadays, why i should exchange them for fiat? no sense

another thing to help this is that we need employers that pay you in bitcoin directly, because buying it to use it like fiat, it's also no-sense to me, this is another reason why many are not bothering with bitcoin for now...
2988  Economy / Economics / Re: If bitcoin price is $10.000, will fiat be worthless? on: December 30, 2016, 07:40:32 AM
I think if fiat will be worthless then so the bitcoin too. Bitcoin's price is based on us dollar and us dollar is a currency used by america which is fiat. And currently it is difficult to use bitcoin in the real or physical world without converting it to fiat first. If fiat will be worthless then we can't also use our bitcoin.

uh? bitcoin price is based on what people are willing to offer for one coin, not on fiat, right now it's based on fiat because it's more convenient for trading and for peope that are new to this world

in the future if fiat collapse because bitcoin reached 1M usd, then people will simply exchange bitcoin for what they thing it's worth exchanging, like when there was barter
2989  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The future looks fantastic, kids love Bitcoin on: December 30, 2016, 07:36:46 AM
My kids love bitcoin, they have had wallets for 3 years and have introduced the friends to the concept. They are all swapping bitcoin and exchanging things for it.  It reminds me of the ted talk by andreas which i have posted below. " try explaining KYC to these kids when their 18", lol  Grin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AVRVfw-8nE

Edit: watch about 17:00 for exact quote.

Kids and teenagers can easily understand bitcoin,but older people just can`t.

This is good for the bitcoin future.We need more adolescents to adopt and use bitcoin.

more like they don't trust bitcoin, than don't understanding it, all those old man and ladies, can actually understand how to do a transaction

but they fear that they will lose their money if stored there, due to price fluctuation and all the hacking attempt that occured
2990  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What was the purpose of creating bitcoin from the beginning? on: December 30, 2016, 07:35:28 AM
it was merely because of the decenralized aspect to offer a money system where you don't need to trust a central authority

this is what bitcoin is all about, the partial anonimity, fast transaction etc...are all a bonus
2991  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Can Bitcoin exchange be considered as money laundering? on: December 30, 2016, 07:34:10 AM
they are not used to do any illegal activity, unless you want to evade, but this is not a problem with the exchange but your, i can't see how they can be considered money laundering, maybe you need to check the definition of that first

if it was true every exchange would be closed already, you think their government will allow this? never
2992  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: December 30, 2016, 06:50:48 AM
900 is good it offer a good alternative in case zcash sink, what intensity are you using?

You find out when I release it. 900 is slow, the 1070 can do more

i know but you see a 470 can do 850 with wolfo kernel, so in theory a 1070 should reach 1700 but that is too much i think

there must be some sort of limitation like with etheruem when scaling
2993  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: December 29, 2016, 07:31:33 PM
monero:

I get 542 H/s on the gtx 1060 3gb with the sp-mod cuda 8.0 build@1506 coreclock 40 watt in the wall. The gtx 1070 is around 800-900.

I think I will add a percentage miner and release it for free.




900 is good it offer a good alternative in case zcash sink, what intensity are you using?
2994  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner on: December 29, 2016, 06:44:14 PM
EWBF are you interested in making more money? Cryptonote (Monero is Cryptonote) is another really big algo with a lot of volume and miners. It hasn't been improved in a really long time. Currently the public Nvidia miner is pretty mediocre. If you want to take a look at it, it's a potential for you to earn a lot more money, if you can improve it.

Not sure how much or if it can be improved, but there is very little competition there and it's definitely stagnated.

Have you tried the cuda 8 version of tsiv ccminer by KlausT ? it's far better than what basic tsiv can give you (i do 4200h XMR with 6x1070 rig but i can't max it out using 100w less @50tdp than zcash), zcash is still more interesting, but it could become a good contender when zcash drop Smiley, i agree that XMR gpu mining could/should be improved. Interesting query. I wonder why claymore isn't working more with nvidia...

what setting give you 700 hash for a single 1070? the best one i found is 12x60 intensity but give me only 600 at best

if i post in the alt section the post simply will not be counted right? since i like that section i don't want to miss it only because i have a signature
2996  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner on: December 29, 2016, 05:39:10 PM
Version 0.0.7 gives me 270-275 sol/s per GTX 1060 @ 100W each, almost 15% increase.
Thanks EWBF!

Power limit at 85% / core +180 / memory +540.
Almost the same with 0.0.8 (+/- 2%).

what about 55% power limit?

I get 225-230 sol/s @ 65W (55% power limit). Core +185 / memory +240.
That's that, can't compare 1060 with 1070/80. Lips sealed

yeah the 1070 is 50% faster and only 30% more consumption
2997  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Value Predictions on: December 29, 2016, 05:32:39 PM
usually from what i have gathered, it work in this way, pump---> little stagnation--->dump

the size of those stages are unknown though, by this i'm assuming that we are going down a bit now, and then another small surge
2998  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Is Mining profitable? on: December 29, 2016, 05:27:29 PM
I think mining is not profitable becoz most of mining site don't pay anything.

you don't use cloud to mien you buy your own s9 antminer and mine with it currently, it would give you $324 per month

even assuming your electricity is 25 cent you are still making a profit, but roi will be almost two years in that case
2999  Economy / Economics / Re: The Halving - Good or Bad for Bitcoin? on: December 29, 2016, 05:22:34 PM
Of course its good, We all know that bitcoin has a limited supply so if there is no halving all coins will be mined fastly so its like slowing it moreover it will decrease the supply that can lead to price increase . It will be good to investors but for miners the deal doesn't sound very good cause there is no guarantee that it will increase after the halving so miners should also be investors or keepers at the same time .

let's suppose that there was no halving, with the initial 50 block reward at this point the supply would be emptied, but this by any mean would not equate to a crash in the price, i bet the price would be the same

miners aren't stupid they would just hold, i guess right now they are paying only what they need to cover their electricity
3000  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin in India? Not for a LOOOOONG time. on: December 29, 2016, 05:15:56 PM
Well yeah you are right . Indians do participate in many online jobs and we invest in BTC and other related things but given the population of 130 crore only 1% or 1.5% are aware of BTC , the remaining have no idea about it ,so yes India is still behind most of the other countries .

The level of Bitcoin awareness in India is almost the same as in other developing nations such as China and Brazil. The percentage might be small, but the overall numbers are quite high, due to the huge population.

in china there are more people that are aware of bitcoin, this is simply because the largest mining operation is residing there, india joined the party from the moment their two big pieces of fiat note were banned
