41  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: $BTC and $ETH will be dead because of regulation of china. on: September 09, 2017, 04:50:26 PM
No. The news was fake. Also if China actually regulated Bitcoin and Ethereum it is probably to stop money laundering, corruption, etc from taking place. This means that China is accepting Bitcoin and Ether as real and legitimate "items" of value and the market would like it. The price would most likely dip from the panick sellers but then rise back up to even greater heights once people realise that the regulations mean that China recognises the value of the coins and the crypto world even more.

Hi, I am a native English speaker and I write as a hobby. I have decent knowledge of the crypto world and how it works. Therefore my writing would not be misleading and I would know what I'm writing about. I also know how to simplify and water down complex ideas without using technical language to convey ideas to the layman easily. I hope you are interested in my offer and if you are, please drop me a PM. I would love to work things out with you.
43  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Owners of GTX 1070, what is your hashrate? on: September 08, 2017, 11:46:55 AM
My Palit Superjetstream gets 475-495 sol/s with EWBF 0.3.4 miner. My overclock is core+114 and memory+480. After installing the new drivers my hashrates dropped and the card was less stable - I used to be getting consistent 495-505 sol/s and can overclock to core+144 and memory+536. My power consumption now is around 180w.
44  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Miners - What do you do when Difficulty jumps? on: September 08, 2017, 11:33:22 AM
Hello Miners.

Just wanted to discuss how some more knowledgeable miners who are mining for over 12 months.

Please share your views

1- Do you think or believe mining Alt Coins or mining from GPU - will ever finish or completely die?

2- You believe difficulty is going to rise, so how would you cope up with it?  a) Reinvest in new cards b) Keep on holding the AltCoins that you mined c) Or what.. please advise..

3- With the NetHash pumping... what alternatives do you plan or look in to?

4- If God Forbid, Alt Coins or Crypto Market completely vanishes.. Which is highly unlikely... what risk measures have you pre-planned up..


Thanks in advance for your input...

1. No, there are many altcoins that can be GPU/CPU mined right now. Unless everything dies from an insane solar flare or something there will always be something to GPU mine or unless ASICs are really easy and cheap to make (unlikely).

2. Reinvest. Holding or selling the coins depends on the status of the coin being mined, for example if I were mining XMR right now I would hold but ZCash is in a bear market so I would sell.

3. Buy more cards?

4. Sell those GPUs for some money or rent the computing power out for a decent price.
45  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / XMRig vs XMR-Stak-CPU on: September 08, 2017, 03:20:07 AM
Hello, I was looking at CPU miners for mining Monero and I came across these 2. Apparently in some cases the XMRig miner has a slightly higher hashrate but for XMR-Stak-CPU it also has higher hashrate for some CPUs (apparently). I have a Ryzen 5 1600 and I just want to know which CPU miner would give a higher hashrate for me? My OS is Windows 10.

I like your suggestion of the GTX 1050Ti, is a decent price $185 each?

Actually you can get them even cheaper ($159.99 now) on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=gtx+1050ti. Also I found lots of them around the $150 price point on newegg https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=gtx+1050ti&N=-1&isNodeId=1. Apparently each purchase also comes with free Rocket League but I don't know what you'd do with so many, maybe sell them?
Also you can find out the profits of GPUs and best coins to mine on whattomine.com. Unfortunately there's no option for 1050 Ti but right now I think it's best to mine Ethereum. Be sure to overclock your graphics card as much as possible and provide adequate power to each card, all available through MSI Afterburner.

Also I just calculated that you'll get 6-7 1050Ti's at $150 if you follow my list so you might want to swap the motherboard to H110 Pro BTC+ (13 total PCIe slots). The previous motherboard only had 6 PCIe slots. Also I forgot to factor in the PSU costs and riser costs. For PSU if you don't know how to link 2 PSUs together (I don't) I suggest getting a gold or above rated PSU that is around 1200W or 1300W from a reputable brand such as EVGA, Cooler Master, Corsair or Seasonic. Don't skimp or play around with the PSU, you are likely to fry up the cards or motherboard if they don't get adequate power. I suggest getting from those brands mentioned above at a reasonable price with enough PCIe power "holes" to connect all your GPUs (those on Newegg or Amazon are decently priced). If your local microcentre has a cheaper one that is not crappy or suspicious, then get it. If you have any doubts about one particular PSU just don't buy it and shell out a bit more money to buy a better one to be on the safe side. This PSU wattage I recommend is assuming that you'll buy more GTX 1050Ti's to add to your rig on the AsRock motherboard. If you decide to buy another GPU you should recalculate the wattage of everything and give a ~100W margin and make sure they're gold efficiency or better.

P.S.: Seems like the GTX 1050Ti's are the best right now since the price isn't hyper inflated.

50  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Help pick $1,500 rig on: September 02, 2017, 01:23:36 PM
I am given an opportunity to present a business plan (small) and if it sounds good i'll get $1,500 in funding for mining hardware.
My power cost here is $0.12 Kw/h
I was originally considering Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Litecoin as my top 3 prospects. I would like some flexibility to change to a different coin if the need arises and i know some rigs are suited only for bitcoin.
I was mostly considering GPU rig compared to an asic one.
I live on the east coast near NJ/PA area so i'm close to a Micro-Center which sells Graphics Cards in stock but they only seem to have 1-2 of any given card in stock and i was considering between 4-6 graphics cards.
My first concern is availability and pricing, even if some cards would be ideal they seem to be sold out or are being re-sold on ebay for3X the price.
The antminers are bitcoin exclusive? They are about $1,300+ and don't ship until  late November, which doesn't rule it out.
Are there any better options or guides anyone would reccomend for someone to get started?

p.s. - From the research I have done it seems impossible to tell the Hash rate of any card without having it tested first.I am a freshman college student majoring in computer science and this is exactly the type of formula I would like to study and understand in the pursuit of knowledge. Thanks.

Here's my advice: Do not get ASIC miners as they consume lots of electricity. Get a GPU rig instead, it is more versatile. Besides selling them will give back some of your capital.

I'd suggest that you get any cheap RX 470/480/570/580 and GTX 1050Ti/1060/1070 that is close to MSRP. Get the versions with more VRAM as Ether needs loads of those and you might run out of them next year with 3GB and 4GB versions of the cards. Also note that blower style cards are generally not preferred but if you find them at or near MSRP just grab them. You can also mix GPUs even if they are from different brands. I personally prefer getting the GTX 1070s as their resale value is higher, consumes less electricity, gives higher hashrates and can leave more expansion space in case you want to expand your rig to contain more GPUs.

Here's a suggested rig by me:

Mobo+CPU: Any mobo that is a mining mobo and the cheapest Intel Pentium CPU that can fit the socket

EG: Biostar TB250-BTC PRO + Intel Pentium G4560

Cost: 98+64= $162

RAM: A 4gb stick would do

Cost: $40

HDD: A 1/2TB one to store all those blockchains if you want local wallets


Cost (2TB): $67


SSD: No need

Rig Frame: Search up on DIY rig frames and make it yourself.

Cost: 30ish

That leaves about $1200 for GPUs.

Personally I would pick GTX 1070s. You can get 4 of them at MSRP price and they are best for Zcash mining right now, earning around $270 a month at max overclock with electricity prices factored in. But, if you cannot find any 1070s at MSRP or close to (AKA anything over 385) I'd go for GTX 1050Ti, they aren't really overpriced right now. You can get 7 or 8 of them if you stretch your budget a little. Overclocked they can earn around $230-$240 a month mining Ether, enough to buy another to add to your rig. I cannot say much about AMD cards as I don't own them except that Monero mining is more profitable than Ether mining on them right now.

Feel free to ask more questions, I'll be happy to answer.
51  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: To Buy BCH or not to Buy BCH? on: September 01, 2017, 11:41:40 AM
Im still holding my BCH since the Aug 1st.
Not going to sell even, when it tanks to 50$, HODL for life

Actually I think that it is fine to do that. It is basically free coins from the fork and if it drops to 0 (or close to) value you could pretend that this coin did not ever exist. But, I strongly advice against going from the relatively stable and predictable bull market of BTC into the uncharted waters of BCH. Sure, there could be a chance that it would be decently valuable but the odds are against it. I'd personally invest any money into other promising altcoins such as XMR that are relatively stable instead of BCH. As TehJoker already said, most people think that BCH is just a clone and thus most people just dump theirs after the fork, and the value will probably just go downhill as time passes.

Does anyone have an idea why the hashrate spiked like crazy now? It was at 30MH/s at around May IIRC and now its 200+ MH/s already? Sounds very suspicious, could it be botnets?

What are the chances that Monero will dip below 0.026 sometime during next week? If yes I'll probably wait now and buy like crazy then.
57  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is religion necessary for humans? on: August 30, 2017, 09:34:29 AM
Religion is neccessary for humans, because it helps us understand on where we came from, and who created us. Religion is the reason we have unity, it is our guide in all our actions. People preach us to be a person with responsibility. So religion is neccessary for all people.
Science also explains the world but with evidence. It disproves religion which has no basis other than a bunch of people having their own creative ideas and writing them down in a book to try and understand the world ~2000 years ago, and survives to this day because the followers are influenced by others.
58  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner on: June 13, 2017, 02:26:21 AM
damn that miner is good. Getting stable 500+ Sol/s with EVGA ftw gtx 1070 and it does go up to 505... while I was getting 440 at most with nicehash. Thanks and keep up the good work!

@2114mhz
88-89%tdp / 160w
1.0620v

Wow how do you get such high hashrates? I can only get ~470 sols at max core voltage (1.093V) 2126MHz Core 4233MHz memory and power limit to 105%. You are getting around 30 sol/s more than me even though our speeds are almost the same... What commands do you enter when you run the miner?

Nothing added to the originals commands. I get less Sol/s @2156mhz and 112% power limit. My memory is @4303... I got a zotac at the same frequency and it's getting 493 maximum while I get 506 on the EVGA.

p.s are you using the 0.3.4b version?

Yup I'm using the newest version, on my Palit Super Jetstream card I'm getting around 485 sol/s +- 10 sol/s at 2113MHz core and 4201 MHz memory 105% power and +100% voltage in Afterburner. Did you get lucky for your EVGA? Your Zotac seems to be getting the same hashrates as my card.

Also did you optimize your cards?

BTW - next question - does that matter? Having "holes" in the nonces of the plots? Or put it another way: what are consequences of this?



No the holes don't matter and you would have overlapping nonces if you put let's say nonce 1 for a file and nonce 2 for the next
