6 pin! I have several server PSUs that run plenty quiet and I can spare plenty of PCIE connectors for a Terminus, whereas I have only one barrel adapter that runs at only 60 watts. Keep up the great work, I've been lurking for a while here and it looks like things are getting there Smiley

These wont be viable for mining...Your probably looking in the 1K+ range per card with HBM2 16GB stack...and eth mining in the 40-60 MH range. You can buy 5-6 570s for the price of one of these.
It's a curiosity like the R9 295X2 or Fury cards. They weren't made for a budget user but it looks interesting and I might consider adding this to my card museum. They're not budget cards, again, I just want to know how Vega will perform, and this first Vega card will provide a good look into how the rest of the card range does.

We are experiencing a moon dip people. I think the launch will be delayed by a few weeks. This may be your last chance to buy under $1700 Wink

coloured moon: when bitcoin to the moon, so do the altcoins. lmao! bitcoin going to 2000 is really ready to happen, thought it wouldn't be this month.

Every idiot and their dog wants to go back in time to 2010 and buy 100,000 bitcoins but it's not going to happen. 99.99% of alts are shitcoins so good luck with that hyper inflated bubble you're buying into. Most have no value at all as they're just clones of other coins.
yeah, if this is the case, so do the bitcoin itself, because bitcoin is being inflated as well - no actual values together, to he honest. some of them don't want a slow transaction with bitcoin else a high fee IIRC, so applying altcoins become another way to address the blockchain problem. probably those uncomfirmed transactions pressures people to use some alts.
Which is why coming to a consensus on the block scaling debate is absolutely necessary to get where people want Bitcoin to be. All coins are artificially scarce to create demand and value. The thing is alts have no real widespread use and the fact that they are being used to circumvent the first layer of transaction processing means that Bitcoin is still the top dog as most of these coins are being converted right back to BTC. Anyone can pump a coin, but it takes a real userbase to support the price level and to get it used widely. Because let's face it, most people in altcoins are bagholders looking for easy money.

All joking aside....

What's going on then? Ripple half of bitcoin marketcap and bitcoin dominance 46% and we are at $1800.

Shits gone crazy.



Shitcoins are pumped every single day, XRP was barely worth anything until now. It popped into existence on the coin dominance board and it's not even decentralized, with creators holding billions of XRP and also making them. There's nothing to worry about. It is simply the new normal and market capitalization charts nowadays are NOT true at all unless you filter out all the bullshit.

Pricing isnt so high it's not worth using for gaming, I'm interested to see what AMD releases "for gamers" and if it'll be significantly weaker or something like that. What they're suggesting is that their gaming cards will be weaker than this, which is a little disappointing for me (I just hope their other Vega cards will at least try to take a hit at the 1080 or 1070- go team red!). I'm interested in mining performance, though, like the rest of you guys. I expect a few MH above what the Fury does and less power.

how do I know an ICO to invest in?

None of them. Buy bitcoin and HODL.

Look at what you think are the top 25, either still in ICO or already released and launched. Then pick the top 5.

4 of them will flop and dump to zero. 1 of them will do 10x or 20x.

Of course, it's quite possible you picked the worst of them and they all dump to zero. I say, just go for the free airdrops that you see, and some cheap altcoins, or buy a small amount. Don't day trade (unless that's your thing.)

Now, I've gotten maybe 20 altcoins, and maybe 15 or 16 of them are worthless now. One is I'm waiting for something to happen, another I already made 5x the ICO price but I'm still waiting for something else to happen.

Then, you trade some or most or all of it to bitcoin and HODL.

If you had Ripple or Litecoin, regardless of what you think of the coins themselves, they were profitable to HODL about 2 months ago, and then sell. But there was really no way to predict all that. It's like everyone is saying 3 years ago to invest in ETH, but noooooo... I didn't. And the ones who did probably didn't HODL long enough.

in my opinion none of this still justifies investing in an ICO. if you want to invest then invest in an altcoin that already existed and have been listed on an exchange.
the information that can be gained from just looking at the charts is 1000 times better than going in ICO where you are completely blind to its future.
I've made quite a bit in Iconomi both by bounties ( $1000 per article written!) and investing, but they're an anomaly as most ICOs absolutely flop and go nowhere. It's risky and HODLing is easier and more profitable.
3687  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Starting mining with real hardware(ASIC miners) The professionals help bitte!! on: May 17, 2017, 12:05:04 AM
1. Witch wallet is good? Have thought about MultibitHD(desktop), or is a online wallet better?
MultiBit is good, Electrum is a bit better (IMO). As much as possible, stay away from online wallets.

2. Witch ASIC miner is realy good? I have done a little bit of research about the mining hardware fabricators and came up with this: ''Butterfly Labs | TerraHash | KNC Miner | Avalon ASICS | USB Block Erupter | BITMAIN'' the ones with the underscore are coming a lot on this board i see! But are they truly so great?
Bitmain's (S9) is the most efficient and profitable one at the moment, although durability-wise isn't the best. Avalon's Avalon 7 has a better durability but less profitable.

3. What are the most profitable pools at this moment without asking a lot of fees? blockchain.info/en/pools is giving me information about antpool with 16.8% but on there page they are realy asking a lot of fees! So i thought to use ''slushpool''
Slushpool is good (I used to mine on it back in the days), but I've seen many users recommend "ck pool" nowadays.

4. What is the best script for the best mining hardware to get the most of it?
Not sure what you mean in regards to "best script", can you elaborate more?

Thank you for the clarification,

4. I mean when i use BFGminer.exe i need to insert always the host+username , but i know there are .bat files that is already filled in everything and it starts automaticly but cannot find the right script to mine Sad
Since he haves free electricity and internet, is het profitable to still mine with 1or2 ASIC miners!
Sure. Just don't go for anything below S5s as miners weaker than it won't make you much even with free electricity. I recommend S7s for the best bang for your buck, although I have seen Avalons go for as little as $180 recently.
3688  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: From experience, how 'sellable' are used ASIC miners? on: May 17, 2017, 12:01:43 AM
Bitmain is going to pump a few terahashes of L3s into the Litecoin network, so those mining calculators will be very off when the difficulty on the network skyrockets. Still, these miners aren't horrible. Resale will be decent but likely nothing like it is now as demand is high and supply low for existing miners. Unless Litecoin pumps again your profit margins will very quickly drop once Bitmain releases the floodgates on L3s.
3689  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Need help with Cables (sata/molex) on: May 16, 2017, 11:54:59 PM
They will melt for sure. In my experience, using these cables results in eventual melting and destruction of the pcie port, resulting in a very expensive brick. Even if they do not warm up immediately you will have power issues and it's easier to just get a server psu or splitter. This is definitely something you do NOT want to go ghetto with. For reference, a splitter is a couple of bucks and a good server psu costs ~100 bucks with pcie cables included, some with ten.

We're going to be at 400 sats/byte soon if we don't reach consensus. I wish we could just get along and reach consensus soon so we're all happy, but bitcoinland doesn't work like that. Sad Combined with the current trend, we'll absolutely take off once Segwit or BU activates, but neither looks likely soon.
3691  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: https://pescaratech.com/ Is this website legit to buy hardware from? on: May 16, 2017, 12:35:14 AM
I wish people would actually try at scamming instead of pulling up random images of "Bitcoin miner" on google and putting them in a webpage store. Of course if they tried people would fall for the scams, but hey, at least we don't get these pathetic attempts at scamming from people who don't know how to start cgminer.
3692  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: BW.com L21 - Litecoin (scrypt) ASIC miner - unofficial speculation thread on: May 15, 2017, 11:11:26 PM
Weird design, wonder if this will see the light of day


Currently pre-sale stage, estimated delivery in June

L21 (LTC Minerals)
Mining Model
520 M ± 5%
Operators force / Taiwan
900 W + 5%
Power / Taiwan
14000 Yuan
Price / Taiwan
28 NM
Chip technology

Note:

1, B21 200 Taiwan from the sale, B11 and B11 Plus 500 units from the sale; the more buy, the more discount incentives;

2, L21 (LTC Minerals) only pay 7000 yuan as a mining machine 50% of each deposit, etc. make up the remaining 50% balance before mining machine can be shipped out.



Unless we get some huge group buy discounts this won't be great at all for most of the world. BW is charging way more for a miner that is supposedly the same as the L3+ in terms of hashing. Backside fan design is quite interesting, haven't seen anything like it to this day. Looks like there's a carrying handle for moving your miners around on top too  Grin Grin Grin
3693  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Is RX 570/580 out of stock in your country? on: May 15, 2017, 11:06:01 PM
UK RX5xx are in short supply but RX4xx are pretty easy to get hold of, think with AMD actually being able to compete with Nvidia there getting hit from Miners and Gamers so demand is stretched.
Not for us in the US. Price severely gouged on both cards and nearly no rebates or discounts except on the lowest end 400 and 500 cards on Newegg. Miners are the primary demand I expect, as most gamers have already likely bought in the 400 series.
3694  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: New scrypt mining rigs - difficulty rise ? on: May 15, 2017, 11:03:56 PM
Unless they no longer own the domain it wouldn't make sense to just scrap the kncminer.com domain and go to a newer one with a shitty design and no cart system. I smell a huge scam with this site, no matter how big of a site published articles about it something is just not right.
3695  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: KNC Miner to return with 750 mg/s scrypt miner on: May 15, 2017, 10:52:59 PM
I smell a scam. Picture of miner is just an old Titan and the page is quite poorly designed; could be just like the Spondoolies SP50 scam. Maybe they just hired a guy with bad web designing skills, but it looks fake to me. Hashrate could easily be reprogrammed to show a different hashrate than the miner is actually hashing at.
3696  Economy / Invites & Accounts / Re: STEAM ACCOUNT WITH 20+ GAMES (INCLUDING GAME NOT RELEASED TO PUBLIC) on: May 15, 2017, 03:44:28 PM
You'll be lucky to sell it for 30$ imo.

My account is worth much more. See this:
https://steamdb.info/calculator/76561198034986196/?cc=us
That doesn't mean anything. Steamdb only takes into account the steam market value of games and it does not factor in sites like G2A, which although shady provide lower prices in terms of games. My account with about $30 of games is priced at $100.

3698  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: 400 watts of free electricity. What miner to use ? on: May 15, 2017, 11:38:15 AM
Thanks for all your replies.

I already had a spare computer, so I ended up buying a Radeon RX480 to mine altcoins and exchange them in Bitcoins.

A RX480 (~200€) with the rest of the computer consumes 240 watts and can "mine" 0.008 to 0.009 BTC per day.
If I went for an Antminer S7 (~350€) and underclocked it, I could of mined 0.00072117 BTC per day (1.6Th/s @ 400 watts).

I ended up spending less, using less power and getting more BTC per day.

i single readon can't mine 0.009 per day, that is insane i think you confused the amount, the return is 0.0015 per day

this is always better than 0.006 from an antminer that consume 1400watt, that is 4x one antminer s9 while consuming almost 1/10

i think it's better to wait for bitmain to release the new antminer s10 or s11 with better efficiency, i hope they make more model for lower consumption too
Bitmain has to follow the rest of the semiconductor industry now and chances are future improvements won't be as big as the ones we have seen with past generations. Unless there's some huge break in the SHA256 design like ASICboost again, I don't expect great performance gains. I could be wrong, though. I foresee Bitmain going more into alts than Bitcoin in the future due to greater profit margins.

finally got the tracking on my three cubes they are scheduled for a wed delivery cant wait to hook em up

Have you hooked them up?

Can't wait until they're in stock again and I can get my hands on some, the ROI is amazing on them.

yeah I got them connected they are great getting good returns on miningooolhub
use very low power and run cool eveb in my hot house
both mine at 310 to 315 on any algo

do you mind specifying what good returns are? thanks Cheesy

Plug the numbers into a mining calculator. The amount of money you can make if you buy these things is ridiculous.
If. There's people sitting at their computers 24/7 waiting to buy these and they typically sell out in about five minutes in my experience. Otherwise you can purchase insanely gouged miners from forum members.

I wasn't paying too close attention, but apparently with this last batch they were in stock until recently, for a couple of weeks. I don't know why they didn't sell out instantly because you can make so much money with them, but I will be watching closely for the next batch as I may soon have the funds to purchase a couple of the quad cubes.
They weren't. They still had the buy button up but it didn't work; I tried about six minutes after the batch released and they were sold out. I am also looking at the quads, unfortunately these days it's either Bitmain or sitting at your desk waiting to snipe profitable miners :/
