The the lack of info or any word from the dev is kinda concerning. Does anyone know if the premine address was made public?

nvidia would be just fine without miners.. I say would because Im not sure I believe they will somehow make their cards not work at mining without killing their performance at the same time.


he is basing his numbers on sia (and the recent bitmain miners performance) and nothing else...

he corrected himself in a later post, he really has 80k (or 800k, dont remember). but you do have a point, and I wonder the same all the time. IF a couple whales bought into a couple big exchanges i bet they could profit overall...

Looking at the charts, it seems sbtc decreased in value over the last couple months MUCH more than the average coin.  What happened?

True, but then people would have to actually learn how to mine...

No, the  Zues Hurricaine x3 (gaw black widow) is definitely not worth powering up (I have one gathering dust)

If you sell now I can almost guarantee you will regret it. (almost)

If it is older than just turning down the multiplier than I cant help you there. I did have a q6600 that I overclocked, but I dont remember what I did (just followed some guide).  Im sure if you put "How to overclock <your cpu>" you will find guides on how to overclock, then just do the opposite.   

not running any sbc's yet, but will before too long. You mentioned there was a spreadsheet that listed hash rates for sbc's?  Wanna hook me up with the link?  I think you meant to, but both are coming up with desptop cpu's. Unless there is a way to switch between them that im missing.

\edit: found the sbc button at the bottom

Yeah I would reduce the voltage/speed rather than disable cores if possible. All I have messed with are i5's and i7's but with those you can just reduce the multiplier and/or turn off turbo if you dont want to mess with figuring out a stable voltage.

Yeah Ill give it some time, but switching to that new miner raised my 2600k hash from 1700h/m to 2200h/m and my 3470 from 1200h/m to 1500h/m... Seriously, thank you for pointing that out.. A good 25%-30% increase.

Right... Any advice on other cpu coins to check out...? Seems like 1 pool just got a ton of hash and am wondering if I should look at other options.  All hash rates I have posted are stable, pool mining

edit: Maybe its not as bad as I thought. The pool is stilling giving me similar estimates and tbh I havent payed that close attention to hash rates..

Wow man, after enabkking the huge pages thing in windows I am getting over 2200h/m on the 2600k.  Thats like a 30 % increase. Thanks man. Waiting on the 3470 to update/reboot to se what if any increase I get there.  I wish I would have known that a wek ago, before the hash jumped on that other pool. On the pool Im on we were getting like a block an hour... As of now we are pushing 6 hours... Im hoping we are getting unlucky and its not going to be the norm.


What other coins are people mining with strickly cpu's... ?

Just got done taking a look at all the pools (since none list total network hash).  As of now it looks like in the pools there is about 250kh/s total. 150kh/s of that is at vrm.mining-pool.ovh. 50kh/s of it is at bloxter (id be ok with that, but it looks like their payout is at 20vrm?!?  So for small miners that dont want to wait months to get to the payout, your options are 3 pools, the most having under 22kh/s, and the other 2 are under 10kh/s.  Once the miners realize how much worse it just got it im sure the small ones will drop in size even more... Do all the miners crushing vrm.mining-pool want to destroy the network?  Im hoping there are enough solo miners to make their hash under 50%, it would have to be like 50kh/s I think.. the wallet gives the net hash in kh/m, im guessing you just divide by 60 to get per second?  If so the net hash is 381kh/s... So at least they are still under 50%... I guess.

Looks like the mining pool that is not accepting new signups recently got a ton of hash added to it... I cant find any stats but it looks like they have an unhealthy amount of the total hash... It needs to be spread around desperately.

btw, thanks for all the info hominoid (you have the calculator and spreadsheet links swapped btw)..  "There have been 24 or 32 core AMD Opteron's cheaper/for the same price.  Check the sheet out (and ebay) for ideas."  Are you basing that on ebay used prices? Cus I am seeing e5645's for like $20 on ebay. didnt spend much time looking yet but im seeing 16 core opterons for like $100.

done

Yeah I have seen that spreadsheet. I dont know what to think of it though as it has the 2600k getting anywhere from 800h/s to 2200 h/s (I get around 1700 h/m on miine.) That and it has  (2) core 2 duos at 2.26ghz with 4 gigs of ram listed at 3500h/m... I kinda doubt someone is getting the same hash from a core 2 due as I get on my (aging) i7.

I hear yah about solo mining. I am just not a lucky person and every day I dont find a block just feels like a waste.  Although the .2 fee that the network charges for transactions hurts (as iti is included in the auto withdrawals also.  For that reason Im gonna end up keeping my coins on the pool much longer than I like to.  I only have two computers mining atm (2600k and 3470), but once I have more hash I will probably solo on a pc or two.

what kind of pay has electronuem been giving you?

edit: that hash on the 4590 does seem low.. I get like 1200h/m on my 3470.

Thanks for the response. Yeah from what I am reading I thikn sbc's are probably the way to go... The odroid xu4 gets about 350h/m - 400h/m. The mc-1 is essentially 4 of those and pull under 100 watts I believe.  The startup costs will be more expensive with the odroids, but the power draw will make up for it I think.  Based on the numbers from your xeons (which are better than what I have been looking at).  The odroids are looking like the way to go. Which is cool as I can add them xu4 by xu4 ($60 at a time + psu, sd card).

btw, you may want to look into mining in a pool. You cant use the wallet miner, but there is a cpu miner that was setup just for verium.   You can get the github here https://github.com/effectsToCause/veriumMiner  or direct download here https://www.poolsloth.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/YateerWindowsVeriumMiner.zip.  I am really skeptical of links, both these I got from the get started page in the pool Im using. You can link to them here for yourself if you want.  https://vrm.poolsloth.com/index.php?page=gettingstarted

anyone?...

Yeah the price of gpu's is crazy right now. It should calm down in the coming couple months I think as the difficulty continues to catch up to the price.  As someone that wants to upgrade his gpu to actually game on its frustrating s hell lol. I refuse to pay markup prices for almost anything on principal alone (if nothing else). 

Im not saying it isnt worth doing (once I have some spare funds ill likely buy some). But the title may be misleading. We cant buy them for the same price you did, and the price makes all the difference in the world, especially when it comes to PoS coins as it directly impacts how many coins you get, aka how many you get from staking.  So your number are just that...YOUR numbers, the numbers if you bought in april of last year (both the gpu's and the beans).

I guess im knitpicking, just saying the title should be "sprouting bitbeans has been 10x more profitable for me" or something.  It may be even better now, I have no idea (wouldnt even know where to start with the math

edit: actually based on a quick glance, the price of bean in usd has gone up like 500x. So assuming you could get the video cards at the same price, (you cant right now, but that may change before too long), and all other factors were the same as last year (it never is). The mining would actually be more profitable..... right?  (you never mentioned electricuty costs ect though)
