3% is quite a good rate. The lending rates have collapsed since people started to move away from the exchange (and hence do less margin trading).
may look into this and move some coin back to polo for lending. pulled everything out a while ago once the complaints started rolling in. |

I found a nice coin to mine
Which one  ? I think phil is with me on the concept of finding out what works best for your config and farm size. Getting a whole bunch of people to jump on the same horse's back all at once tends to kill the ride..... Finding an algo that you have a big % share of; and that generates a fair amount of revenue every month; you get a big cut of that potential revenue. Which is why I refuse to specify what most of my NVidia cards have been working on the last couple months - I'm a little over 1% of the TOTAL there, and don't want everyone and their kid brother jumping in and destroying profitability. The "natural" growth has been bad enough - there was a time last winter, with HALF the cards, that I was pulling in over 2% of the mined coins - though the value per coin is still up quite a bit from then. dont you need a wallet for each oddball coin you mine? like you need to keep the mined coin payouts in a desktop wallet for that coin (which may need a huge blockchain download). or do you mine it to an exchange and keep it there. advantages and disadvantages to both methods.. or, do you mine the coin at nicehash and let them convert to btc? |

Oh hey, question.
While I'm making changes - what would be better for 5V out (like Pi power), a 4-pin header or a USB A jack? The header is more flexible, but with the jack you could just plug in any USB cable that powers whatever controller you're using.
I'd personally prefer USB A, I just enjoy using em and I have a shit ton that have no use at the moment. the same, usb a please |

Stealing coins from gox and depositing them back onto gox wasn't the smartest of moves although it is quite funny that you used gox to launder their own hack, but ultimately it's what led to your downfall.
thats the best part |

But for now I am in a very well backed up core.
which scares me. as I always fear mechanical failure of the gear.
i have so many backups of the core wallet.dat its ridiculous. i add the coin type (as ltc used the same wallet.dat name) and date to the end of the name to keep them straight. one drive with backups (all important backups, not just coin related) also goes into my safe deposit box at the local bank. need at least one backup set off site. trezors rock. paper wallets are nice too. i use both. i keep copies of the trezor seed words and the paper wallets in my safe deposit box too. |

Please can you help me with this? I want to enable mixed GPU (Nvidia+AMD) mining in Claymore's.
Currently my rig setup is single GPU GTX 1070 (asus strix 08g).
I just bought a Sapphire RX 580 8GB to add on to my existing rig, for obvious reason RX580 is way cheaper in my country.
1. Should I create 2 start.bat files as if 2 miners, 1 for AMD and 1 for Nvidia? both will point to the same pool, same wallet
2. Or there is single line command line that can handle both mix brands (AMD Nvidia) GPU together? Can you show me the command line example? I read the Claymore's readme file but didn't see any options for it for mixed GPU.
just install the card and amd driver. claymore will use both automatically. no need to change anything in the command line or .bat files you currently use. |

Is it possible to mine with two different graphic cards in a rig over nicehash? For example with a gtx 1050ti and a rx 550?
thx
yes. i use claymores dual miner directly, mining eth and decred at nicehash. 390, 2x470, 460, 1070 Can you mix the 390 and 1070 directly? yes. the 390 and 1070 (and the others i listed) are in the same rig. just install both amd and nvidia drivers. claymores dual miner will recognize and use both. i have also run claymore on the amds and ewbf on the 1070 on the same rig. just need to point the miners at the right cards via command line options on the miner(s). then point both at nicehash and use the same btc addy for both miners. this is on win7. AFAIK you cannot mix on *nix. |

yes it's easier to replace fans but that's a bit of a hassle too, isn't it?
when i replaced the fan on my HD6870 i found on it on ebay. took about 10 minutes to swap it out. actually took longer to find it on ebay than to do the replacement. |

Not all fans are same, for example with good ball bearing fan can last very long even on 100%.
But yes on 70% will for sure last longer, and better to have problem with fan then with vrm or gpu.
this. ball bearing fans will way outlast sleeve bearing fans. ive had ball bearing fans running 100% for years (case fans) and for gpus my ball bearing sapphire 5830s ran 100% for like two years 24/7 back in btc/ltc gpu mining days. fans are fine. i try to buy only gpus with ball bearing fans. and as dadesu mentions a fan its cheaper than blowing a gpus vrms. the cooler the electronics, the happier they are. cooler gpus also draw a bit less power also. that being said running say 85% vs 100% there is little difference in cooling, at least in my experience. and lower fan speed does equal longer life but a good fan will outlast the useful life of a gpu anyway. i run most of my mining gpus locked at 85%. |

You need to update to Windows 10 Creator's Editon for Claymore to work properly in Windows.
? i run claymore cdm on win7 with 5 gpus: 290, 2x470, 460, 1070. no problems at all. i have 8 gb mem vs your 4 however. throw another 4 gb stick in. |

Same question also i want to ask and i need reply. which one apps i mean software should i use for scan my computer? now i am using avast a free antivirus downloaded from internet . is it work properly or i have to buy premium service? someone clear it to me.thanks in advanced.
i use avast free. works fine but the paid version has more features that may be beneficial for noobs but i have no use for them. but the real trick to avoiding virus/trojans is to update your os and programs regularly, stay off shady sites and not download cracked software. only download from the authors site when you can. learn how md5/sha hashes work and verify your downloads with it, especially wallets. dont download wallets for crapcoins willy nilly many have trojans. if you must use a virtual pc and even then be careful. Virtual pc? what is this? remote desktop or not? may i use virtual pc for installing a wallet ? I have seen huge number of people lost their coin by downloading entrusted wallet.so i am not installing any wallet or software in my computer.But when any Airdrop occurs , what i will do? with out downloading their wallet it cant possible to join the airdrop.any suggestion,warning ? it allows you run run software so it cannot interact with the real pc its running on, or other vms on the same machine. theory is any malware is contained in just that the virtual machine. you can run many vms on one real pc. so you run one wallet per vm and if one is malware it cannot affect the other stuff on the other vms. so basically is a jail malware cannot escape from. you dedicate a vm to one altcoin wallet and run nothing else in that vm (except antivirus and a browser to get the wallet). so malware has nothing to steal/compromise. of course that wallet may be able to steal your coins from itself, but it cant steal coins from wallets running on other vms. ie it does not prevent trojans from running but it contains the damage. and you never enter sensitive info or enter sensitive sites on that vm (like no visiting exchange sites/email accounts) so it cannot collect passwords or anything. you use a regular machine for exchanges/email/whatever, or even a vm set up for just email/exchanges. however.. its still not 100% perfect depending on how you set up it there can still be risks. but in general its quit safe. there are many vms that are free. you can run windows and *nix on vms. |

doesn't matter if idle computer use 60 or some more even if it s 100w so it still 92w per pci slot the gpu use
a 460 with no pcie power connector (IE only draws from the slot) that draws over 90 watts is so far out of spec for the card its crazy. card is rated for 75 watts max as its made to plug into a 16x slot thats only rated for 75 watts per pcie spec. what does gpuz say its drawing? it will only show the gpu chip power usage not ram and other circuitry on the card but im curious as to what it says. did you mod the bios power settings? |

Is there any way to know if i have a keylogger in bios or somewhere else? thnaks
Hmmm try to full scan your pc i think and if you are too suspicious try to reformat your pc for assurance that nobody has been left that may steal your infos. But think that reformat is the very last idea you may do. Same question also i want to ask and i need reply. which one apps i mean software should i use for scan my computer? now i am using avast a free antivirus downloaded from internet . is it work properly or i have to buy premium service? someone clear it to me.thanks in advanced. i use avast free. works fine but the paid version has more features that may be beneficial for noobs but i have no use for them. but the real trick to avoiding virus/trojans is to update your os and programs regularly, stay off shady sites and not download cracked software. only download from the authors site when you can. learn how md5/sha hashes work and verify your downloads with it, especially wallets. dont download wallets for crapcoins willy nilly many have trojans. if you must use a virtual pc and even then be careful. |

it s maybe restricted to 75w but it use more
i have 5x rx460 4G msi with no pci-e power and with dual mining the ring use 560w (no cpu load) with stock setting
so you can say each gpu use 100w
i would be very surprised if a 460 with no pcie connector used more than 75 watts, even dual mining. 100 watts is WAY over the pcie spec. 60 watts for the just PC? seems kinda low unless you are using a "T" series intel proc, single ram stick and a m2 drive (and nothing else, including no fans). my pc at idle uses 80-90 watts at the wall. g1840 proc, 2x4 gb ram, 390, 2x470, 460, 1070. 256 gb m2 ssd, 5 fans. evga 850 g2 gold psu pulling 750 at the wall mining only eth (dual mining pushed it to over 900 watts at the wall) (still need to tweak some stuff, hope to lower it a bit). all this on measured on a killowatt meter. 120 volts power. |

i have been running core since ver .3 in 2011 or so. just kept upgrading the wallet as new versions came out..
so 14.2 supports HD seeds. is there a way to convert my existing wallet to seed based? can make a seed, make a new addy and transfer all btc the the new addy in the existing wallet? then from that point on im good and can recover from just the seed?
or do I have to create a new 14.2 wallet thats seed based and transfer all from the old wallet to the new wallet?
prefer to keep using the original wallet as is has my complete history all the way back to my 1st transaction in 2011. all annotated with labels etc.
i would of course keep the old empty wallet around if i make a new one.
