How many of you folks have participated in these schemes?
Perhaps I've already shown my hand by calling them schemes. From a regulatory standpoint, any reputable trade market sanctions against pumping and insider trading. Certainly we're all aware of why these actions are frowned upon, or criminalized and prosecuted.
I get it, crypto is the wild west; unregulated, unsanctioned, and arguably illegal. Sure, that's likely to draw out the scumbags, shysters, and generally shady characters. But, aren't most of us trying to legitimize crypto? Help bring it to the mainstream? So why are people introducing pump and dump schemes into the crypto world? Or, more specifically why are people who're otherwise ethical folks participating in them?
Maybe I'm being a prude, and most of you don't think they're unethical. So, that's my question; pump and dump: ethical or not?

Thanks for putting this together. I still want to compile my own, but it's been years since I've done any coding. I'm sure I'll get a wild hair on a rainy day come winter.
I don't do any coding also, and if you follow instructions on XMR-Stak Github, you'll get there. Worst part is installing Gb's of software - VB Studio, CUDA and AMD OpenCL libraries. My workstation's .5tb ssd shouldn't mind, but yeah, mountain biking weather... nobody got time for that.

@bigdaddymccarron, could it be your swap file is not big enough for the DAG files? I'm no expert on Ubuntu, but sometimes we overlook the simplest things.

Someone claimed that he have received half advance payment from this campaign and the rest applied as follows. I got half of the weekly payment upfront.. Gonna continue ..
Looks like the OP got called out for being a newbie, and not offering escrow. I guess that's one way to resolve the issue.

After download, the antivirus software show file has virus ?
That's normal, most of us deal with it by creating a folder for mining programs, and adding that folder as an exception in Windows Defender.

Thank you for the explanation. Would it be of any help if I load it on my GPU mining machine? I have an off-line machine I use to generate wallets, so I wouldn't be using it for that.
Help in what way? By running Bitcoin Core on any machine, you are helping the Bitcoin network. @ achow101 That's the answer I was looking for, I was wondering if it would help the network at all. Thanks, I'll install it on at least one on-line machine this weekend. And sorry for being such a noob that I drew the ire of so many wise-cracking burner accounts. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)

Pardon my ubernoobiness, but what is this for?
I have plenty of room on my mining rig's D drive, should I install it there? If it's adventitious to the community, I'm happy to help.
Bitcoin Core is a full node software that powers the Bitcoin network. It receives, verifies, and relays all blocks and transactions broadcast to the Bitcoin network. It is also a wallet software. Thank you for the explanation. Would it be of any help if I load it on my GPU mining machine? I have an off-line machine I use to generate wallets, so I wouldn't be using it for that.

now that ETH is going to go PoS you are going to add more cards to the network with the hashrate skyrocketing??? OMG.......... people are just Fu---cking up this.
Here's a question that'll chap Piskeante's hide: How many would I need to effectively mine solo? ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

A question for those who have experience mining ETH with Radeon Cards:
I don't have a lot of experience with AMD chipset cards, but I'm thinking of adding a couple of RX 580s to my ETH machine. I've narrowed my search down to the Sapphire Pulse, or the Sapphire Nitro+ (8gb cards.) Which would you choose? Any recommendations for bios settings and how to flash the bios for a first timer would be really appreciated.
TIA

hello my friends, can u say me why 11.8 don't work in windows 10 i do click in executable and this don't start and don't happend nothing, ... can u say me what is the problem please?.... sorry for my bad english. thank u very much.
You will need to run it from a batch file, unless all of the needed info is in your config.txt. There is a minimum amount of info needed to execute the program; ie. a pool address, a mining address, etc. Yes i run it from .bat and don't work... bro. Add a line at the end of your .bat with nothing but "pause" It will leave the command window open after the miner stops. Then you can see what error, if any it's coming up with. Very handy for trouble shooting.

You say that XYO is the newest breakthrough in blockchain and can be bigger than bitcoin and ethereum combined. How exactly? What do you want to accomplish?
Hey there! In 5 to 10 years in a world full of smart cities, AI, robots, self-driving cars and drones, we need a location technology these things can rely on and XYO is aiming to be that technology. XYO is blockchain's first crypto-location oracle network, and their mission is to enable smart contracts to interact with the real world as if it were an API! IBM has been working on blockchain tracking technology, and they have the capitol to take on a venture of this magnitude without an ICO. So no, XYO isn't the hottest ICO of 2018, they're not the first or the only ones working on this technology, and I seriously doubt they'll be able to compete with IBM, or overtake bitcoin or ethereum, let alone the two combined. I've said it before in this very thread; good luck to all of you who've participated, I remain skeptical.

You can't tweak NVIDIA bioses just like you can with AMDs. I used "polaris bios editor" to perform these little mods myself. I'm in no way an expert but I'm quite happy with the results.
Is there a big difference in power usage between AMD cards and Nvidia? I've noticed a difference in my Nvidias from one manufacturer to another. I.e. my 1070s are MSI and my 1080s are EVGA. The 1080s are using 5 fewer watts (115 vs 120) for 14% more hashrate. This is actually a big deal for me, my power costs are Californicated.

That's not impressive, I reach almost 31,5MH/s with 2 of my RX 570s on Phoenix, and they are at least 50% than a 1070.
1080 with pill should be around 50MH/s. We've seen reports of this kind of pseed with ETH pill & Phoenix.
I don't think you earn more on ethminer rather than with Phoenix and its 0,65% devfee. You could buy a sub 15$ win 10 licence and compare.
I get 32.5 out of my 1070s and 37.1 out of my pilled up 8GB 1080s (averages.) I think those getting 50Mh/s are running 1080ti with 11GB. 37.1 is not worth buying a 1080 when any Vega 56 get at the very least 40+ (42-47). Aren't X16, Equihash or Lyra still more profitable with a 1080? I don't have the experience to know the answer to that. I have very little experience with AMD chipset cards, and I've never flashed one. Do you write your own bios or is there a download available?
