GTX 1060 6GB and RX 460 might get close to the bottom of that range. [25-30 on eth]
nope. my stock RX 460 4 gb gets 12-13 mhs, ive seen reports of 15 with a strapped vbios. |

with regards to screen size and apps auto adapting i can only comment on my note 4 that i occasionally use hotel room smart tvs for display. its still hit or miss, seems the built in apps are the worse, maybe because they expect to only be run on the phones screen. 3rd party stuff is better. for instance web pages in chrome scale well and run on tvs better than the phones screen. movies via plex and vlc are of course much better on a hotel tv than the phone. having trezor like security (i own a trezor) is going to be essential as you point out. the only way i would trust a "universal" docking station (for want of a better term) is the way you describe it, ie a single secure trusted channel that the phone controls completely. plug it in anywhere to get access to a more powerful cpu/gpu/screen and communications capability. i could see stations like this cropping up all over the place. libraries and cafes and such, linked to a crypto currency account and charging for resources used. we need stuff like that ASAP. Also so I can remove the storage in an instant so that I can’t be forced to give up my encryption key. Although this reason conflicts with my statement that a smartphone is not a secure device, yet there may exist a more secure, locked down variant Android.
Meaning I would like a laptop docking station with a larger screen, keyboard, and a co-processor on board. Possibly in the future, the co-processor could be on a server accessed over the wire.
In the absolute, the only thing mobile device should store are personal accounting information to access remote services, and should not really be seen as stand alone computers.
Agreed that a docking station something like Sentio but with an extra CPU is just an interim solution for what will eventually be all processing power located remotely on servers with our computing device communicating wirelessly. If the CPU on our docking station never accepts apps (only accepts requests for computation with no buffer overflows nor privileged escalation possible) then it can be designed to be secure and thus we do not have to expend much effort maintaining it and it can be a publicly shared device. Within the next 5 years *, our smartphone will be our secure device, but not in the way Apple is planning. Every smartphone will have essentially a Trezor on board (a minimal extra circuit adding maybe $10 in cost at high volumes and IC integration) and it will be an isolated computer from the rest of the smartphone with only a secure serial communication line. The secure hardware will be 100% open source (not this closed source BS from Apple) so that we know the Five Eyes national security apparatus have no back doors (although we need some way to verify the chip fab is not introducing back doors). Whereas, the generalized computer on the smartphone can never be a secure device because for example I read that smartphones are even vulnerable to hacking of the radio hardware on the device to for example turn on the microphone surreptitiously. For privacy and security, our smartphone will be our identification and signing apparatus that we carry at all times (and eventually wearable and later embedded in the body 666 style). Our shortened passphrase or biometrics for signing will be rate limited and thresholded such that if stolen it will brick itself after too many failed attempts, because as I wrote before about HumanIQ and Proof-of-Person, biometrics can be fooled with synthetics. Your paper wallet will retain your master keys which you can use to recover your accounts (and invalidate the keys on the stolen smartphone) if you smartphone is lost or stolen. And we need everyone even the fish vendors in developing countries to have a smartphone because this will be much more efficient than cash (vendors often run out of change here in the Philippines for example). So $600 iPhones are not going to fit. I know Apple’s overconfident/arrogant attitude is they do not care because they are generating huge revenues from the affluent class, but w.r.t. to currency I agree there will only be one; thus the masses will dictate the winning currency (note I am not referring to unit-of-reserve which will likely remain for example the US dollar for fiat and Bitcoin for cryptocurrency for the time being). All that do-gooder environmentalism and security FUD marketing from Apple, yet the truth is they do not give a fuck about humanity and only care about extracting maximum profits. Apple (with the highest revenue of any company of the world, but not the largest market cap probably because of the following point) will refuse to provide this in a smartphone because it conflicts with their business model for Apple Pay. Apple’s walled garden services are their fastest growing revenue source and their market cap is highly dependent on them being able to monopolize the extraction of rents from their ecosystem. In short, Apple must own you the user, else their market cap will collapse. That is unless Apple could entirely reinvent themselves but changing culture of the employees is virtually impossible. There is absolutely no way that Apple Pay will win against permissionless blockchain payment system which nobody owns or extracts fees from. This problem has only been solving the scaling and winner-take-all centralization problems of blockchains, but I have already solved that. Very interesting to me is our software for small screens (or more saliently less detailed gesture control due to large screens possible with wearable AR glasses) must integrate/adapt better with our software for large screens (or more saliently fine grained gesture control over interaction with the system). For the interim this can mean that the generalized computer on our smartphone is enabled with something like Sentio, so that the app (must be programmed to) adapts immediately with any screen size. This is why apps that require mostly only finger gestures for most actions are more popular on mobile. But I rarely use my Blutooth keyboard, because the setup time/hassle is greater than the occasional terse note I want to type.
…
@miscreanity, I can talk faster than I can type, but last time I tried it on Android, the recognition engines can’t reliably keep up with my fast speech (never tried Siri). If ever speech recognition (and latency back to the server or local computation) gets good enough, then possibly I can finally ditch the keyboard except I think it will be exhausting to speak everything I type and especially “cursor up”, “cursor down”, “cursor to end of line”, etc.. I agree that the monitor could plausibly be replaced by a headset (or perhaps holographic projection?), except still need a docking station for the pointing device and when presenting (unless all of the audience was also wearing headsets). But in any case, we still need apps that work well at many different display sizes and modes of use (i.e. terse gestures vs. detailed manipulation), which is one of my main points here w.r.t. to my plans for an “app browser" concept for Bitnet.
The viruses being introduced by apps on Android can be solved with my idea for an “app browser" that creates a stricter sandbox. Most apps do not need to have accesses to the low-level APIs and buffer overflow injection holes (that can enable privilege escalation attacks in order to for example gain root access) they get with the full generality of the Android OS. Also the “app browser" can be upgraded immediately on any Android phone solving the problem of latest version of Android OS not diffusing through the ecosystem of hardware. This applies the concept of separation-of-concerns; whereas, Apple attacks problems by conflating concerns into a top-down controlled jail which creates more problems. There is no need for Apple’s walled garden. Curation of qualities of apps can be done by user curation, with users signing with their cryptographic reputation to eliminate the user spoofing problem with user driven curation. Each of us can choose which moderators we follow w.r.t. to curation. All decentralized. No 1984-esque Apple Big Brother owning our lives. * Someone raised the point of it being dubious whether people will be ready to trust their smartphones within 5 years. My thought was that within 5 years, the necessary blockchain will be in place and gaining usership, and that smartphone will become available. Not that we will achieve even 50% market adoption within 5 years. My point is that writing will be on the wall in terms of a fledgling new market within 5 years that is growing much faster than anything else and subsuming everything. Reviewing the comments made by Millennials in my prior post, it is clear to me that Millennials are hungry for change, embrace technology fully, are not loyal, and are pragmatic. Their main failing is they’ve been indoctrinated by boomers (about BS lies such as environmentalism and the value of non-STEM field education) and thus they are unrealistic about economics. But some minority or perhaps up to half up them will turn very quickly as they start to wake up. They will get on the cryptocurrency train because they have no other chance for a future. Apple corralling them into a consumer-only swiping jail on their mother’s sofa while China races away totaling obliterating Apple and laughing their heads off at the nonsense ideology of the foolish Westerners. Chinese are astute about economics and Apple is too. But Apple depends on their users being dumb (i.e. indoctrinated with lies, marketing spin, and FUD). Someone also asked if people will not have money to pay for iPhone then they will not have money to pay for TV (in his country the citizens pay for TV and I suppose everyone does in any country if they have cable TV). I responded as follows. People will stop paying for TV and get their TV over the Internet. It is all about not wasting resources on things that are not a good return-on-investment. The clever of the Chinese think of every expenditure as a business investment. See how iFlix is undercutting Netflix in Asia ($3 monthly instead of $7 in the Philippines) and addition to Western also with Asian content not available on Netflix. And they will stop paying through the nose to Apple, when they can get everything for 1/3 the price on Android and more freedom too. Bitnet will not be available on iPhone. If the global currency everybody is using is not available on iPhone, most will stop using iPhone. Apple’s business model is all the ecosystem has to give Apple a percentage and thus iPhone is a jail tightly controlled by Apple. Whereas, since Google’s profits come primarily from advertising sales, Android’s business model is open and any .apk can be installed even if it is not on the Google Playstore. |

this is why i like my note 4 with its built in stylus. pull the stylus out it automatically opens a window to draw/write with. OCR can be done on it later if needed …
When I need to sketch (as opposed to structured shapes+text drawing), I prefer a pencil. I suppose there might be a few cases where I would be okay with a stylus on a slippery screen, but I really need the friction of paper and pencil to sketch. My sketching with a stylus slips all over the place and is fugly horrible. As for text, even though I had beautiful handwriting in elementary, I can barely handwrite now as it an order-of-magnitude too slow compared to my typing speed. I loathe typing on mobile! Can become an enormous waste of time! I try to do a little as possible on mobile. This is why apps that require mostly only finger gestures for most actions are more popular on mobile. But I rarely use my Blutooth keyboard, because the setup time/hassle is greater than the occasional terse note I want to type. … and i can sync it with evernote on my pc. annotate it with the pen or whatever.
Syncing is for me yet another step that consumes my time. I have no free time. I have a TODO list that only grows longer the older I get. most androids can also output HDMI and accept a regular pc mouse and keyboard via a otg cable.
Yeah I remember now having researched that option years ago but a problem at that time at least, was it did not seem to work plug-and-play on every device. Some fiddling and frustration and failure. Probably glitchy too (as even Blutooth seems to be at times). And still even if it is now reliable, we have to lug around a full size monitor which is not compact and then we have no battery option to use it unplugged. I like that laptop docking idea because it also charges the smartphone meaning the smartphone CPU will run at run speed as if it is plugged in to a wall socket. allows a lot more work to be done with only a phone. of course still cant touch the horsepower of a pc and youre limited to android versions of software but its not too bad
Well the fact that mobile apps do not adapt well to work well both in large and small screens is one of the important aspects I want to address with an “app browser" concept for Bitnet. Because I want convergence between mobile, desktop, and browser code, so we developers can write-one and run every where. i agree about the "feel" of a writing instrument; its hard to get right. the note 4 is not bad, its has a fair amount of friction. syncing between the phones and desktops onenote is automatic once setup. as for hdmi output i was thinking more along the lines of using the tv in a hotel room. my note 4 can wirelessly use some of them via a "mirror" option but im not sure what percentage of hotel tvs would have this feature. but there is always the hdmi cable as backup. so basically otg adapter with mouse/keyboard/hdmi cable would be the minimum needed. but outside of the hotel room yup youre stuck with the phones screen.. less than optimal.. also, some phone apps do not display correctly via hdmi. |

Creative work on mobile devices is increasing rapidly.
This might be true, but I doubt that results are of same or higher quality.
Just try to create music, draw/paint something on small screen, vs large screen.
>We can not do maximally productive work of nearly any kind of creative arts on a mobile device. The screen is too small, the keyboard is too slow, and the pointing device is too imprecise.
I agree with this.

i have av (avast) on my mining rigs, just habit i suppose.
i made a folder named "_miners" and all miners go into that folder. then i add "_miners" to my av exclusion list.

since i use coinbase to convert btc to fiat and visa versa i just print out a buy/sell list from coinbase and hand it to my accountant.
i sold more that i bought last year so i had to explain what mining was, as thats were the bulk of my coins come from. i can prove it by printing my wallet transactions showing weekly deposits from nicehash or whatever pool ive used for that year.
so basically ive paid taxes to the government best way my accountant knew how to figure it.
figure if the irs comes after me ive done my best to do the taxes right and ill have my accountant to back me up. might have to pay some if the accountant did it wrong but at least i cant be accused of trying to avoid taxes.
edit: my accountant said he had one other person claim bitcoin on his/her taxes. and my accountant does hundreds of returns.

it's instant, you can keep your miner open. Just click the tick to apply your new setting and you should see a change in your hashrate etc.
yup just hit "apply" then either watch the hashrate change, or your computer screen go blank as the card crashes |

Hi peoples, I got a Radeon Sapphire Hd 7990 6gb. I downloaded the latest driver (AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 17.4.3 Driver for Windows® 10 64-bit: http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?os=Win10_64&Pid=076248DD-C96B-46AD-976A-665D7185BDE6&tag=download&lang=eng). I configured my ETH surety, put the data in .bat: ... Setting DAG epoch #130 for GPU1 Setting DAG epoch #130 for GPU0 Create GPU buffer for GPU1 Create GPU buffer for GPU0 GPU0, OpenCL error -4 (0) - cannot create DAG on GPU GPU 0 failed GPU0, OpenCL error -4 (0) - cannot create DAG on GPU GPU 0 failed Note: Windows 10, 4Gb Ram DDR3, 1Tb HD. Virtual memory set on 40000mb. might try 8 gb ram. but im sure ive seen people running 4 gigs no problem so not sure if that would solve it. try 15.12 drivers for your card, you dont need the latest with older cards like that. |

Hi guys, why my nicehash app do use ethmine for mining ethereum with nvidia gtx1060?
Instead if i use just rx 480 it do use claymore.
Difference is claymore with nvidia 6x 1060 mining at 138
With ethmine mining at 125mh so i would use claymore with nicehash always. How i could do?
in Nicehash, you can deselect the algo you don't want to use If you want only Claymore and no algo switching, just deselect all the others or you can simply bypass the nicehash miner, run claymore directly and point it at nicehash. that is what i do. Thanks for the reply... Yes i know i can deselect algorithms... but even if i choice dagger hashimoto it always use ethmine... Anyway the best way probably is point it directly by the .bat file and use claymore... You think is more profitable nicehash (receiving bitcoin) than ethermine(getting ethereum)? unsure. im too lazy to check, my rigs are on autopilot with claymore at nicehash and runs for weeks with no intervention. i just like the fact that btc trickles into my wallet every week with no interaction on my part. i dual mine eth/sia with claymore. i do think btc has a better chance to rise long term than eth, so i stick with btc payouts. |

oh i have no doubt phil has helped more than most here and deserves all the tips he can get. he sends extra stuff when buying items from him, sends free items to help miners, all that, plus his wealth of knowledge he freely shares. just never seen anything like this before. i guess i just expect more people to tip him without having to be prompted. i keep forgetting what forum im on i guess  |

why would we need escrow? seems needlessly complicated.
phils addy is public in his profile: 1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje <- feel free to verify.
ive donated to many people here, they know who they are. i expect nothing in return either. its a donation.
if you want to donate to him, just do it directly to his address. send a pm so he knows what it is for.
just my opinion of course.
phil, sorry if i stepped on your toes so to speak. none of my business really. just the whole set amount and escrow bit seems odd to me.
i will delete this post if you like.

buying a gaming rig to mine is overkill. it will have a much stronger cpu than needed as well as more storage and more ram than needed.
if you do want to go that route though make sure it can take at least two video cards (with good spacing between them) and have the cooling and psu power (with extra peg connectors) to handle 300-400+ watts of video cards. like 1080(ti)s.
plenty of guides here to make cheap miners for a fraction of the cost of a "gaming" rig.
of course if your primary goal is to game and make a little coin on the side, go for the gaming rig.

So why these nubs are adding 460 instead of easy to get 1060 3Gb or 6GB.
Maybe because they know how to solder the AMD chip, if they change to Nvdia they ned to rebuild the 'graphic cards' from what i saw the new versions are standard desktop cards with custom coolers mounted. the 1st panda had mobile parts, the later are just standard desktop cards. The Mobo is the same, but not the graphic cards, the AMD and Nvidia are diferent chips sure. but the pcie slot connectors and peg connectors for amd and nvidia are exactly the same. these are standard off the shelf video cards with custom coolers and a custom flashed vbios, thats all. both brands will plug right into the mobo. no soldering needed, not sure where that came from. there seems to be no reason to prefer amd or nvidia aside from drivers or perhaps nv needs more resources vs amd (irqs, i/o addresses) than the mobo/bios can provide. |

But if I try to go above 85% TDP it will crash.
It seems to be a power cut off, you may be ovecharging one of your power rails. if you hit the overcurrent protection on a psu rail (or whole psu) the psu just shuts down entirely. the rig does not crash, it just powers off. at least on good psus, dunno about junk, but rigs should be running top shelf psus. |
