For anyone interested in mining, my farm is made up predominantly of 2660 0's and 2650 v2's (E5's). I thought I'd post the optimum hash rates and configs for XMRig for these (plus two other laptop based procs I have).
Might come in useful if everyone can share their best configs as well!
i5-7300U - 630H/s Config: 2 threads, low power mode 1, affine to CPU 0,2 (Windows)
i7-8550U - 1600H/s Config: 4 threads, low power mode 1, affine to CPU 0,2,4,6 (Windows)
E5-2660 0 - 2550H/s Config: 16 threads, low power mode 1, affine to CPU false (Ubuntu)
E5-2650 v2 - 2900H/s Config: 16 threads, low power mode 1, affine to CPU false (Ubuntu)
These are all with Huge Pages enabled and CPU max set to 99%. I'll try and set something more official up so everyone can contribute.
You can add Ryzen 1700 @3.6Ghz - 3970H/s "max-cpu-usage": 80 "huge-pages": true, "hw-aes": null "cpu-affinity": null, using 14 out of 16 threads (2 left for browsing). Running at 1.112V=64W

Anyone can help me to understand more about mining? I would to know the energy consuption linked to the hashrate and I would read an how to guide for newbies.
Thanks
Hashrate in which algorithm? It is different in different algos. Energy consumption using what hardware? CPU? GPU? Asic? HDD? Hashrate depends on speed of the hardware. Is this hardware overclocked (to hash faster)? Was it undervoleted (to save on electricity)? Too many questions here..

Sorry guys, but I cannot NOT ask this question:
Why are you giving away coins just like that, instead of paying with them for bounties, where new users are added to Byteball army, more SEO is added, more bot devs, etc??

Преведох на български сайта и бялата книга на една монета за IoT копаене. Казва се uPlexa и сайта и е https://bg.uplexa.com/Препоръчвам канала им в Discord: https://discord.gg/ddRVYCbИма много сериозна поддръжка, стартира много силно (за такива мечи времена). Трудността е ниска, още може да се копае.

There is a new CPU /IoT coin which aims at IoT mining: uPlexa (until they make a GPU miner). So far diff is low, and their Discord is very chatty. Bounties were announced two days ago.

I just added the Airdrop bot to claim piece of the airdrop, aimed at distributing the coins evenly. Here is the result: This is ridiculous. I have 75 Megabytes of Byteball that equals to: 0.0072264237 points. This is not fair distribution, this is feeding the rich

Keep in mind that comminuty is comprised of whales ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) . From everything I've red so far, this coin did some bad decisions in the past and now is trying to fix that. To fix that by doing more of the same. This is like stepping on the rake twice. Combining "Byteball" + "lottery" is degrading enough for this coin.
|

This new lottery again seems like a good idea executed in a really bad way. Why the hell do you give 200GB to a single person once per week? Why not 20GB to 10 people per week or 2 GB to 100 people per week?
(not to speak of preferring KYC accounts and whales despite the 90% discount ...)
Exactly! i do not believe that the people who decided that are that stupid. On the contrary, they are smart enough to see that this lottery will be beneficial only to people who invested fiat cash. Otherwise there is no other way of gathering so much Byteball. Here is my logic: 1. All Crypto bleeds heavily. Byteball too. 2. Fresh money is needed. 3. Lets find a way to bring more fresh money into Byteball 4. Let's put a big award to everyone who has so much Byteball that the only way he can aquired them is by buying them. 5. We'll call it "honest, decentralized, fair" etc untill people believe it is 6. We'll ask then for KYC, all the people with a little amount of Byteball will just quit, because it is not worth it. That way we'll have more chance for the rich. 7. Success! Coin dies ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

There are 100% decentralized coins with voting system and so on, but I've never seen a coin which is more honest and open to it's holders. Alos, about 99% of the decisions made by the team match my own view of the crypto world which almost never happened. I'll keep promoting so it can flourish one day, so we can get rid of web banners!

I think that real world use coins will survive, like: JSE, Lethean, and off course: ETH

I'm also into Storj only for supporting the idea and the network. However, I don't want that the be case forever. I've already red all you just cited. Here are my concerns: 1. IBM is already in the game and decentralizing: https://twitter.com/IBMcloud/status/10693965767774412802. If Storj was testing the farmers so far, farmers have also been testing Storj. I have a 2 TB drive sitting in a box and I never used it for Storj, because it is not profitable. The stats for my node are jumping by a weird pattern, which has nothing to do with actual availability. 3. How is Storj going to convince me and all the potential farmers to put effort and resources in ver 3.0, after seeing how unprofital it is all the way since ver 1.0 and ver 2.0? The current payout cannot even cover the electricity consumed by the hard drive itself. It is not fun to be online 24/7 for pennies. 4. How is my node supposed to be high quality, when they say: "don't invest in hardware, because we cannot guarantee profitability"? 5. How a Storj node will be fast enough to compete with other nodes and at the same time "anyone can share their hardrive and make money out of it!"? 6. Is there going to be a storage tiering system? Eg: fast, normal, slow storage? Why dropping slow nodes, when you can use them? 7. How a consumer grade hardware will be used for Enterprise class service? Flash storage is the new norm for service providers. Thanks

Trust.Zone, an anonymous VPN service, now accepts payments in Byteball Bytes. Private, secure and anonymous browsing, with a 10% discount for Byte holders! ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) >> https://trust.zone/ << KYC Byteball sheep do not need anonymous VPN service. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) This service has to be in the Ann thread! Not that many things are tradeable with Byteball. Has anyone tried it?

7 Storj for keeping 350GB online for a year. That sits on top of all these talks. So far Storj is unprofitable and soon the big companies will catch up.
Microsoft is investing in Data centers, IBM is going toward decentralizing, Prices are dropping.
When Storj will actually be profitable for farmers and cheap and good enough for users?

.. I started wondering why it is not famous!?
Because the benefit is missing and the team persistently refuses to develop one. Instead, for months, one mischief has followed another. Of course without any coordination with the community (i.e. the people outside the filter bubble). The project management's sense of reality is generally not very pronounced. So it took two years until they were able to change this unspeakable naming hopefully soon. Sorry to hear that, I really liked the project idea.

OMG again. KYC your mom russian spies
You made me laugh Pineapple Express ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) So, Russophobia makes your day? Your blend of humor, what you like is when somebody says something phobic? Or did the Your Mom joke make you laugh? Shouldn't you be in bed already? You are right. Why do you have distributed network, e-mail confirmation, encrypted connection, anonymous payments... and then you KYC. What is the point then?
Point is, you can't distribute coin that doesn't have mining without creating whales if you don't make sure that the addresses belong to different people. 1 address is not 1 user. Kind of insane that you still don't get the basics of being anonymous and how cryptocurrencies work (you can create as many addresses you want, all transactions are on public database). I think this coin needs to decide if it is going to be 100% anonymous or 100% KYC. Having both in one coin seems to bee too hard for the team or too hard in general when combined with mass adoption and anti-whale.
Where did you get that 100% anonymous claim? Nothing is as black and white as 100% anonymous or 100% KYC. Bitcoin is also not 100% anonymous. Bytes are not 100% anonymous, blackbytes are anonymous (don't know what percentage). Even Monero is not 100% anonymous. @Tarmo88 - sorry, cannot install another chat app just to monitor progress. I'll visit btctalk from time to time.
You do not need an app for that, you register there http://slack.byteball.org/ and you chat there https://byteball.slack.com/ (no app, web browser) Instead of giving Byteballs for free, consider proven method with bounties for articles, nodes, promo videos, guides, translations, etc. That way you will atleast get some work done for the project.
Byteball has #grants (Slack channel) for developers and bounties for translations via Utopian.io It even had contest for writers https://www.reddit.com/r/ByteBall/comments/9ud8j5/writers_wanted_new_byteball_contest/Some people (except you) work on Byteball every day and they don't come to Bitcointalk to whine. Others who don't work on Byteball, just keep themselves up to date, so they wouldn't embarrass themselves claiming something that is not true (that's you). 1. Russophobia? LoL ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Hell no! It's the sentence just sounds hilarious in my native language (imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger saying it ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ). Please excuse me if my sense of humor offends you. 2. Yes, you can distribute the coin evenly without creating (lazy) whales I'm new to this coin. I opened the BTC talk thread and red the first page. Did not see any bounties. Installed the wallet, saw there were some bots, verified my e-mail. and got some Byteballs (the claim was $10 worth, but i actually got $0.01). Then i started mining and searching for a way to acquire more of it. I found what a witness is, I found there are nodes, but you get nothing for running them. Plus, they require some Linux skills. Then i started asking questions. Thanks to the people here (and also you) I learned more. I was amazed how a simple wallet can accomodate hybrid coin which has both: a regular coin, mineable via WCG (where you also help anti-cancer research) and an Anonymous equivalent. Then you add automatic bots which work very well plus high speed of transactions (seconds!). I started wondering why it is not famous!? Then i visit the last topic and it says there that you have to KYC to obtain coins. I see no clear vision for development and no action plan. So i suggested ways for people to be paid for spreading the coin. My intention is to help it grow. I'm also interested in other coins and i monitor their progress for a long time. I can see this coin work by creating a lot of bounties for it (translations of: wallet, whitepaper, BTC talk tread, articles, videos, twitter posts, signature bounties you name it!), spreading the news among CPU mineable forums, threads is a must. Creating an exchange will boost things a lot. Creating a real-world use for the coin will shoot it sky-high. How to avoid script kiddies to create thousands of wallets and just wait for the drop? By making them earn those coins! In other cryptos they had the same problem. Referral bonus was high, so they got thousands of fake referrals. How did they fight that: 1 week delay before referral payment, so they can check for scam. They were sifting them manually until one day they implemented AI bot to do this and since then it runs flawlessly. All this means there are ways to do it right, just use the carrot.

Looking at the current price and watching at the ANN topic thread name has a certain charm in it "Welcome to the Beginning" Sounds like: "Welcome back at first grade!" Well, now we have to count again on Bitcoin to rise, so it can pull ETH up the price hill. I was hoping finally ETH will be able to break free, but i was wrong.
