Just a note, that is from a year ago.
3062  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell kernels. on: June 02, 2015, 10:26:05 PM
I have two questions for you. Until now, I've used the windforce OC 750Tis because they are totally overbuilt. Max temp is 60°C, with fans running at 40%, which makes them almost silent. Really, I have 4 of these running 24/7 on an open bench, on my desk and they don't bother me. How noisy are these smaller cards? My guess is one smaller fan must have to run faster and make more noise.

Second question, my calculations don't match yours. I find 970s to be better than 750Tis with version 51 of ccminer. As an example, here are two 6 GPUs rigs running Quark algo:

6 750Tis at 155€, 5730kH, 60W
450W PSU 43€
hashrate 34380, power usage 360W, price 973€. 35.33kH/€, 95.5kH/W

6 970 at 365€, 16200kH, 160W
1200W PSU 275€
hashrate 97200, power usage 960W, price 2465€. 39.43kH/€, 101.25kH/W

Can you elaborate on what you think makes 750Ti the better option? Are my figures wrong? Or is there something I don't take into account, like a better overclock on 750?

I'd guess because prices are somewhat different on a per country basis. For example, a year ago I bought my 750 Ti's for 121€ or 0.6 BTC but now I could only get them for around 147€ or 0.729 BTC and a 970 would cost me 384€ or 1.9 BTC so everybody kind of have to play with the numbers aveilable to them.

Thanks rednoW for the fast response. Any chance there's a modded version of ccminer valid for x64 systems and humble (60$) videocards like mine? Cheesy
I'm thinking about buying an Antminer S5 and get in a multipool but since I'm pretty noob at this I'm taking my time searching for info and making sure it won't get obsolete after 2 months, what altcoins are the most stable longterm, if it's best to mine low diff coins and exchange for bitcoins exclusively or diversify and pick two or three promising altcoins, etc. That kind of thing and meanwhile I use this gt 730 to mine dmd. I've been like a month reading articles and the different altcoins and its prety confusing for a newbie... Hope I will get the hang of it in time and make a wise decision.

Everything depend on one thing; your electicity cost. If you have expensive electricity in your area, you will never hit ROI, if you have average electricity cost then you probably won't ROI and if you have very cheap electricity go for it.

Great thank you sp.

Did you take into consideration of changing the disconnect reconnect time from 30 seconds to 10 seconds on your next build ?
That would help alot when renting. Wink

You can change it with -R.

As someone who dislike both Monero and Dash

You are just another Darkcoin/Dash shill

I couldn't care less about that instamined nonsense nor do I care about Monero/Nem/NXT I just find it funny when people are convinced that any of these coins have an actual chance at challenging bitcoin when in reality these coins probably won't even stay relevant in a few years.

yeah, technological progress doesn't exist... there will never be better alternatives, bitcoin has no fungibility problem, i shit flowers and ride pink ponies...



I think the technological progress is nowehere near significant enough to replace what's been working for years. You could create a coin with all the best features of the top coins and it would still be traded through bitcoin.
There will be better alternatives, but I don't think that coin exists yet.

Code:
#	Source	  Pair   	Volume (24h)	Price		Volume (%)
1 Poloniex  XMR/BTC $ 19,109 $ 0.452966 83.06 %
2 HitBTC  XMR/BTC $ 2,442 $ 0.457652 10.61 %
3 Bittrex  XMR/BTC $ 675 $ 0.449139 2.93 %

As someone who dislike both Monero and Dash, I think this might be worrying for some considering Polo is entirely dependent on FinCEN. And then there's the very slim possibility of Polo getting hacked, either way it's centralization in a way.
3067  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Reality of Masternode Centralization on: June 01, 2015, 11:46:13 PM
As long as people host their masternodes properly with encrypted wallets with backups, I can't see anything that could cause any issues. If a hosting company were to refuse hosting masternodes for whatever magical reason, nobody would lose anything and there are plenty of them around so I wouldn't call it centralized. I mean there are much fewer pools than masternode hosting services so for the time being I think we're fine.

that look like your card memory was used... ive seen that with cudaminer... sometimes you need to restart it more than once to get all the memory available.

i suggest using autotune only after a clean boot... and only then use the found launch config.

Code is almost the same, i made a few changes for the 750ti and 9xx which were handled like a titan in cudaminer, but you are using a GTX 660, so its not that...

Could be higher device_backoff in ccminer or that device_singlememory is not optional in ccminer?

This would probably help a bit but would also increase spamming and account trading. And since people trust older accounts a bit more, I'd imagine scammers would trap more people.
3072  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to be careful and avoid scams in the wild west of the alt coin scene -part 1 on: May 30, 2015, 12:36:22 PM
Well done, very well put together.

Also, I've never thought about chaining algos could be as secure as the weakest algo in the link but looking into it you're right.

+1 for sticky.
3073  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [TWLV] TWELVE - Brand New Hashing Algo!! T-INSIDE algo - PoW/DPOS/POS on: May 30, 2015, 11:21:48 AM
Be careful with this one, as ocminer said, the hashing algo is very close to x13, just missing the last algo:

#include "sph_blake.h"
#include "sph_bmw.h"
#include "sph_groestl.h"
#include "sph_jh.h"
#include "sph_keccak.h"
#include "sph_skein.h"
#include "sph_luffa.h"
#include "sph_cubehash.h"
#include "sph_shavite.h"
#include "sph_simd.h"
#include "sph_echo.h"
#include "sph_hamsi.h"
#include "sph_fugue.h"


That said, it's very easy to mod a gpuminer and there would be gpuminers already if it was any profitable but with the reward structure it's very far from it:

Block 1 = ICO premine (1500000)
Blocks 2 - 100 = 0 TWLV
Blocks 101 - 40000 (27 days) = 1 TWLV
Blocks 40001 - 60000 = 10 TWLV

Only 16% of the coins can be mined and it is not even secure with the nethashrate being as low as 15mh/s.

Polo was fine for me but I have a lot of random packet loss towards bitcointalk for a while now.
3075  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Devs need to fuck off with their useless ico scam coins! on: May 29, 2015, 09:49:32 PM
forum based or identity based distribution.

Good idea except it is too easy to exploit.

Well, my idea is to create an application process for a new announcement thread. if the application is not an obvious scam coin then a mod will allow to post the announcement.

Then that mod will be promptly accused of being incompetent if he doesn't let a legit coin through and get called scammer if he let a scam through. Or he gets bribed or just even accused of bribed and we're back to square one. If one person could decide what is a scam and what isn't then Proof of Developer would still be a thing.


I think it's just the amount of people who like to gamble with terrible odds are the ones generating enough profit for ICO scammers to keep pushing out new ones. Or who knows, maybe the scammers are just creating the illusion selling their ICO's by buying their own coins to encourage others, it's not like they lose anything doing that anyway.
3076  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][GLUCK] GoodLuck Coin [Yobit ICO - 17 btc] on: May 29, 2015, 06:58:16 PM
I'm wondering why DEVs are even posting stuff on BCT anymore? They can better used a paid forum so that the childs are gone and that only real people give comments.

Funny you tend to scream 'scam' at ninjas while ninjas are nothing but exciting with the only disadvantage being possibly poor distribution in the early stages of the coin while paid forums are guaranteed to cause poor distribution. A gif of a shitting rhino might be childish, but not any more so than a newbie asking 17 BTC for a copy/paste coin which doesn't have any purpose, feature or even a roadmap.
3077  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Devs need to fuck off with their useless ico scam coins! on: May 29, 2015, 05:29:37 PM
Why can we sell accounts here?
Why can people have unlimited accounts here?
Why is bitcointalk not doing anything? How hard is it for Bitcointalk to hand over the scammer info to the authorities?
Why is all of this illegal in the real world but not here?
Why do we let this happen?

Maybe it's time to kill bitcointalk alt section and start a new forum with some values and rules.
Only we can change something here!



Because it would happen anyway outside of bitcointalk and bitcointalk probably doesn't have the resources to investigate and enforce such rules nor they want the drama that's following bans and accusations.

This forum is just a tool, not an authority figure. Same as exchanges, people blamed them a while back for adding all kinds of shitcoins while they are also just a tool which can be used in different ways.

If I had to guess I'd say the guys behind bitcointalk would probably rather close the whole altcoin section before spending time and money starting to govern shitcoins individually and I wouldn't blame them.

One of the reasons this forum is as big as it is because everyone can say whatever they want. People just need to learn how to swim in these muddy waters that is the altcoin section.

Interesting, I'm curious as well. However, I remember reading somewhere about a similar (more expensive) hardware when someone mentioning the stock BIOS might be hard limited only handle 6 or 8 PCI slots so it might need some careful BIOS mod to work. And then there would probably be OS issues.
3079  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Devs need to fuck off with their useless ico scam coins! on: May 29, 2015, 03:22:24 PM
