New coins will keep being introduced that are practical for CPU and GPU mining, even if only for the short term. A agree that ASICs are not a great investment, unless you are Bitmain. But with ETH going to PoS soon, GPUs will be less profitable next year.
I'm hedging my bets on FPGAs for the long term. They can run at a fraction of the power demands of typical GPUs, and has as fast as ASICs with the proper algorithm.
Yes ETH going PoS is greater danger then any ASIC of FPGA simply because of the number of GPUs on it. Unless half of those then simply sell their rigs. In that case its not so bad at all. I also see FPGA as the future, but until they are mass produced affordable and can be operated by the average Joe, not so much. By the time ETH goes POS, all of those GPUs mining it will be obsolete anyway. If ETH disappeared tomorrow, the 570s, 580s, 470s, 480s would have nowhere to go. Maybe cryptonight algos. Most GPUs are already obsolete (for mining.) Just look in the market place and see all the cards with 4GB or less sellers have to practically give away. Used 580s with 8GB memory aren't moving at $235! The market will be flooded with new 8GB 580s in a few weeks when the next generation of GPUs are announced. A 1080ti will be under $600. I think Nvidia is bound to introduce an affordable FPGA with a built-in bios designed specifically for mining within a year. If PoS doesn't kill Ethereum for GPUs that surly will. But yes, cryptonight will be the next refuge for GPU miners. |

Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ 8gb is selling for $300 at newegg. That's a great deal, but I wouldn't buy it right now, I would wait another month or so. The way ASICs are being pumped out for cheap, and the new generation of GPUs on their way to market, I expect the 580 Nitro+ to be around $250 in the very near future.

Another thing tried earlier was system restore it lists the driver that was installed, of course when trying to go to an earlier check point: 0x8007003 error, nothing changed.
Isn't it possible through cmd to manually delete the files/drivers? How would you do this, and what do I need to delete?
That would be very difficult and require advanced knowledge of the system. The drivers likely wrote or changed some registry keys, and with out doing extensive research it's impossible to know which ones were affected. So, what you are suggesting is not impossible, but would require so much time... I'd sooner reinstall windows than have to deal with all that shizzle. Just out of curiosity, can you boot to a USB stick? |

No PS2 ports for mouse/keyboard?  Try booting to the bios to see if you can find settings that may have been changed by the driver. You can also try flashing the bios with the latest updates, it would be interesting to see if the bios recognizes your USB ports. |

 this is just fired up to show no dead chips, all tho 500MHz is around 10.5 TH/s but you can change this to suit your power/cooling needs What's the power draw at 500MHz? |

@FTH, I'm sorry you've lost your account. I found this thread of yours: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2251399.40All that seems like compelling evidence that the account belongs to you, but no "staked" address ever? Like you said, the best thing to protect your account is a strong password and link a secure email. As the old saying goes "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." |

@DarkStar, thanks for that. I wasn't sure, but something about that thread (and the OP) didn't seem right. I'll be more careful next time, and report those types of threads when I see them.

No way my friends did that, she doesn't even know how to connect her Nintendo DS to the internet. Does your friend have a shared internet connection? Is there anybody in her neighborhood that uses her wifi? Can you sign a message from the electrum address that originated the transaction to prove it belongs to you?
Sure I do If you provide a signature proving the wallet belongs to you I think people might be more willing to help. I noticed that too, a google search for the last address in the string brings that up as one of the few results. The repository belongs to Github user userghost123. |

Was the laptop hacked, or was it stolen or physically used to send the coin to another address?
I assume it was hacked, since no one on the room had knowledge of bitcoin at the time things happened, and besides, the for obvious reasons, didn't know my password. I may add a few more details, since I think I've been a bit vague on the OP. I was using Electrum as my wallet, not Multi-sig since I had had a bit of an emergency and didn't have enough time to use the 2FA. I was at a friends' house, and the moment I opened my wallet to add the 2FA, I saw an outgoing transaction that had been created less than 1 minute before I opened the wallet itself. Can you sign a message from the electrum address that originated the transaction to prove it belongs to you? |
