lol dude that is 200 satoshi not 2900, check the coinsmarket rate, theya dded an extra digit to the end, beyond satoshi which make thing really confused, their maximum unit is 1 billions satoshi for 1 bitcoin

Yeah, I also confused the price of another coin and lost some money because of that.

I asked by why on Earth they would use 0.1 satoshis for their smallest increment and they told me:

"We think that some coins do not even worth 1 sat , and there is a clear note that * Min Price: 0.1 Satoshi"

Very annoying.


Anyway, skunkmod #1: I get 44.5 Mh/s per AORUS 1080Ti at 180 watts (60%) and 51.5 Mh/s at 300 watts (100%). The default 25 intensity seems to be the fastest (100% GPU usage).

Skunk Mod - 7 x 1080 Ti FE (1400watts)

http://imgur.com/a/d1eum

 70%   46 MH/s
100%  50 MH/s

I have to run my cards at 70% due to my 1500 watt PSU limit.
Plus it doesn't really make sense to run any algo at 100%, the last 30% it adds 800 watts.

I think there might still be improvements for the Skunk mod.
GPU power usage fluctuates between 49-70% rather than a constant 70%.


Just because you allow the card to use 100% power, it doesn't necessarily mean it will use it. For some algos it does but for others it won't. Check with nvidia-smi or GPU-Z to see how much it actually uses.

Based on the small difference between 70% and 100%, it's probably only really using 75-80%.

Sp_, sen't a pm.

True, I was just basing it off my experience with zec and eth. I have a watt meter and the last 30% will add 800 watts on a 7 GPU 1080 Ti rig.
I haven't measured it from the wall with the Skunks algo though. Hash rate also doesn't increase linearly with increase in power output.

For example Zec: 0.12 KW/h
  70% 4700 H/s = 1400 watts  3.36 w/s  $610 per month
100% 5300 H/s = 2200 watts  2.41 w/s  $634 per month

96% of the profit comes from the first 70%. The added 800 watts at 100% also generates more heat.
In general, its just not worth it to run more than 70% on 1080 Ti.


Yep!

Though EWBF miner is a bit of an oddball.

Or just, you know, don't "invest" in ICOs at all. Giving money to random people in exchange of some random images and promises is worse than gambling.

Unfortunately, with the super easy nature of creating ICOs on Ethereum and other platforms, along with Bitcoin's price, crypto attracted a whole bunch of lazy idiots chasing a goldrush and throwing money into ICOs while having no idea or enthusiasm towards cryptocurrencies, giving it a bad name to cryptos altogether.
626  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Storj - To the moon on: July 20, 2017, 09:25:19 PM
still don't get it,
BURST = if i have a lot of disk space , my income would be a lot ( depending how much disk space right ? )
ex : 1 TB everyday i get around 42 Burst,so if i have 10TB i will get around 420 Burst right ?
so how about STORJ ? i still don't understand it,
less disk more income ? or what ?

Let's say you have 1TB and decide to do Storj only. You create a single drive with 1 TB.

But, even after a few weeks only about 20GB will be actually used, so you'll have 980 GB of free space.

Which is wasted until it's filled. But that amount of data will take forever to fill.

So in the meantime you can use that space to mine with Storj because even if you give Storj 1 TB, it won't use all of them until it's filled.

627  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Storj payments on: July 20, 2017, 09:22:51 PM
Look around in the subreddit, they have some payout info there: https://www.reddit.com/r/storj/
628  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Storj - To the moon on: July 20, 2017, 08:19:58 PM
No transparency (recretly reduced payments once again), still buggy software, centralization, etc.

No wonder some of their dev team left and started their own cloud storage solution (https://orc.network).

between 'sia','storj' and 'burst' which one is the best in you opinion ?
plus which is the most potential project and tell me why,
because as far as i see,their mining method are same using hdd but their prices between one and another really great.
doesn't prices tell us everything about it ?

Burst uses hardware space just to mine, other people's files are not stored there. It also uses all your allocated disk space instantly (well, once plotting is done).

Meanwhile Storj stores other people's files (which you get paid for) but the actual disk space it uses on your hardware fills up very slowly. It takes weeks for even ~20 GB to fill. But the more space it actually uses, the higher your payouts will be.

It's probably the best to do both, give Storj something like 10% of your space and mine with Storj using the rest.


I'm not at all familiar with Sia.



so based on your comments,
it would be best if we mine storj other than Burst ?
because our ROI is much higher than Burst and we can use the space on the hardisk ?
but why many people talked about BURST other than STORJ in this forum ?
BURST = Using space to mining it and we can not use it at all right ?
STORJ = Using hardware to mining it and we can use the space but it will affecting processing performance?

Burst = uses as much disk space as you let it.
Storj = it very slowly fills up your disk space regardless if you give it TB of allowed space.

So let's say you have 1TB of data. Give Storj something like 100GB of space and plot the remaining 900 and mine Burst.

If Storj gets close to using all the 100GB you gave it, give it let's say another 100GB and mine Burst with 800 GB.

Storj pays much much better for the same space - if it's actually used, not just allocated.
629  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BURST hacked/forked on: July 20, 2017, 08:01:55 PM
Why are there so many hacks nowadays? I remember a time when cryptocurrency was all about security... today its just a bunch of kids putting code together...

They create super complex stuff all at once which screams to have many vulnerabilities instead of slowly and safely building stuff and testing properly.

631  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Monero a threat to the Bitcoin split? on: July 20, 2017, 07:49:56 PM
No way.

Almost everyone has a strong opinion on Monero regardless if they like or dislike it and it's near impossible to convert people to the opposite camp.

Edit: ehh, didn't see OP's name at first, shouldn't have replied...

633  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How is genesis block found in proof of stake?. on: July 20, 2017, 12:32:22 AM
PoS starts with PoW - even if it's just for one block.

Basically, PoS can't act as an initial distribution method so it has to be combined with either a PoW period or various types of premines suc as ICOs, airdrops, bounties, giveaways, etc.
634  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Masternodes are mostly pyramid schemes on: July 19, 2017, 12:56:57 AM
That doesn't make them pyramid schemes.

At least people are incentivized to hold and not just trade the majority of the available supply.

Also, if you call masternodes pyramid schemes, what about Proof of Stake coins? They're even worse in terms of the rich gets richer while staking wallets also have much less use than masternodes.

This is not true in regards to PoS. Person X is staking 10 coins, person Y stakes 100, in other words 10 times more.
After a year of staking, person Y will still be 10 times richer than person X. Nothing changes in regards to each others wealth. It just keeps status quo.

 

Compared to other stakes - just like masternode owners - but compared to people who doesn't have a stake, they're falling behind.

If the price remains, for the same price people get a lesser slice of the cake, the later they get in on it in both cases.

Around 15

thanks

is there any online calculator for knowing the expected #blocks to get for a hashrate with current difficulty?
i did not see the formula in website and only calculator I found seems way off

-->
https://bitmakler.net/Nexus___mining
I plug 250Mhs, 923 difficulty, 15 block rewards and it gets me 81.73036679 coins/day ... obviously wrong



average block finding frequency in seconds = (2^32 * diff * 4) / (hashrate_in_mhps * 1e6)
636  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Bittrex 2FA for my pc or anything alike? on: July 18, 2017, 04:22:05 PM
Two factor authentication is useless is you have the 2FA private token on the same computer. If your computer gets hacked, 2FA won't save you.

With that said, yes, there are tools like what you're asking. The one I know is called WinAuth. I used it with Battle.net accounts years ago and then it was buggy so always save the private tokens elsewhere.

Seriously, get a cheap smartphone that can run Google Authenticator or an alternative app to be sure.
637  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: July 18, 2017, 03:54:11 PM
how does the intensity works?
usually it's (2^intensity) threads, which of course can't be, because with 62 you have 4294967296 giga threads, they just don't fit into any gpu ram, now nor in the future at least till the end of humanity :-D

Sp_'s 62 intensity does 12.189.696 threads while majoh's 200 intensity does 52.428.800 threads.

Nexus sp-mod private #7 beta
sendt to the nexus donators, please check your spam folders.

I haven't found a block yet with this build. Please test.

- Improved performance on celeron rigs.
- Improved launchconfig on all cards.
- Device selection similar to the -d parameter in ccminer. Seperate by comma.
- Default intensities displayed (0 intesity will turn on default).
- Improved Meter with less fluctating hashrates.
- Improved stability


Thank you.

Feedback: I can't use any intensity over 62, not even with a single 1080 Ti with 32GB pagefile and 8GB RAM.

So I get about 181 Mh/s at 180 watts (60% PL) or 202 Mh/s at 300 watts (100% PL).

With majoh's miner I can use super high intensities like 200 which gives me 208 Mh/s at 60% and 251.5 Mh/s at 100%.

Seems like your miner is a 32-bit binary while majoh's is 64 bit which is what I'd guess allows for higher intensities.

Thanks for the Reply

I thought as Much as I have another Rig with a 4 x MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X Running on a Corsair 850w Gold with no problems,

I have the 1080 Cards Set to 75% Power and it seems to be stable now.

Its Winter here so its Cold GFX cards are running at about 44*C.

I have another of the same PSU to setup Ill see if its just a Bad PSU.

Thanks
BTCakes

If it's stable at 75% then I'm pretty sure it's the PSU. I could only find a review of the 1000W model and that's apparently pretty good. Maybe yours came from a bad batch or just faulty?
Those PSUs also have two over temperature protections in them so one could trigger under load or could be faulty.

Or maybe the issue comes from the risers, but it's doubtful.
640  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Power Supply Overload on: July 18, 2017, 08:08:43 AM
Each of those cards can pull 210-238 watts on stock settings (100% power limit) plus the system should pull another ~70 watts so the PSU should handle it (700-784W load).

Unless you're setting a higher power limit or the PSU is in a very hot place.
