Put in 30MH/s and 120 Watts under Ethash, and put in your power rate.

See the results listed under Ethereum, if its more than a quarter a day then go ahead and mine.

However most of your profits will be sent to your power company unless ETH value increases anytime soon.

Do you know what speed an RX 570 would get approx with Bitcrack? I had no idea it worked on AMD, assumed it was Nvidia only.

I remember when this thread first was opened, I was using vanitygen to find the next key, at the time it was #55 or so. I had to manually update the code so the increments wouldn't be randon instead it would be incremental. And finally got it to work.

With my R9 280X, the most I Could get was like 20MH/s, if I overclocked then I think I got 21MH/s. So its pretty impressive that your RX560 can get 50MH/s since it has much less cores than an actual RX 570.

Vanitygen was not a good program because it wasn't meant for searching incremental private keys, it was used to find vanity addresses instead. Bitcrack was more geared towards this thread. However it was released maybe a year or 2 after this thread was discovered and was too late for most of the earlier keys.

Its hard to say which path BTC will take in the short term. The funding rate was negative on Bitmex a few hours back, usually this signals the start of a bear market if it happens frequently. And also the OI decreased alot from the top last week.

In my opinion I think you need to watch the weekly charts and judge for yourself if a top was made. Currently it needs to break and close below $9650 to indicate that, but we had a higher high and a higher low, so its looking good.

In 2017, BTC had these severe dips and periods where it chopped around for 4 weeks before making a newer ATH, this might be the same since it hasn't been a month yet since the June 26th peak of $14K.

I know there is alot of negativity against Ripple. Many people claim its not really an alt-coin because its pre-mined essentially and way too centralized.

But its actually a pretty useful coin. I've used it in the past when I had to quickly transfer between exchanges and never had issues. Its good because most exchanges support it. However for some reason many gambling sites that list alt coins don't use ripple, never really understood it.

I think most of the top 10 alts should be used with most gambling sites.

Yeah I had a long position back in the ~4500 Sat and took a loss around ~3900 Sat and glad I did because it broke 3000 Sat recently. Most alts are getting hammered badly. Today XRP, BCH, BSV all took huge hits.

Probably will wait until some confirmation first because who knows when this alt capitulation will end, we might keep going until we hit 80% dominance with BTC and I rather not hold XRP under 1000 Sats or ETH under 0.01.

Trading alts right now, unless you are short is very difficult.

The fairness or provably fair is not the issue with binary option exchanges. Basically they all follow an index whether its the stock market indicies, Forex markets or the Bitcoin price.

The issue is that the spread is very large and its basically an Up or down option so you either win or you don't. The reason why these are banned in US is because people usually do the 60 second options which is basically pure gambling, since its almost impossible to pick a genuine trade based off that.

With Bitcoin eyeing the ATH its like 2017 all over again with all the crypto scams that are popping up.

All over Twitter there are the donations scams... were you send 1 BTC and get back 10 BTC.
The cloud mining scams are starting again. With many elaborate schemes in contracts.
There are also scams related to trading signals. People promising you to be millionaires by following their signals.

This thread seems no different. I don't know how this guy will scam people but something is very fishy in this "project". When he says things like "I can make 40% in 24 hours" that usually indicates some kind of ponzi. I would be very vary of this.

Its hard to tell where it will stop, I assumed that 13.9K might of been the local top and in 6 months it might of been retested however it looks like we might retest it today or tomorrow.

If $13.9K breaks then the next resistance is obviously the psychological $15K and then its the weekly resistance at $16.8-$17.1K, after that its obviously the $20K.

When $20K breaks then who knows what will happen. Basically nothing but air above and could quickly be jumping $1K everyday until who knows when.

I am having trouble understanding. So you had an Sapphire RX 580 and you mined with it solo and it worked. Then you bought another RX 480 and you tested it out solo and it worked.

Then you added both GPUs directly on the motherboard, so one is x16 and the other is most likely x8 so they both run at x8 bus speed.

Now when you are in device manager you only see 1 GPU correct? The 2nd one isnt listed with a "caution" icon, meaning Code 53? Code 53 is solved by the atikmdag.

Only thing I can think of here is you got some PSU issues or you need to connect a monitor to the 2nd GPU and maybe it will show up. Do you know if you have crossfire enabled? If you do, disable it.

If you want to mine ETH with Windows 7 you need to use the Robinhood blockchain drivers. They contain the DAG thrashing fix which is causing the slowdown.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2068446.0

Keep in mind you can only do max 4 GPUs with Windows 7, so you are better off upgrading to Win 10 if you got more.

Also make sure to mod your bios straps, either using the SRB tool or manually by strapping the memory straps.

Let me know if you need more help.

It very well could be 3 different people that have solved the last few keys.

Bitcoin isn't worth $3000 anymore like it was at the beginning of the year. Its almost $13K so the person who found the 1 BTC made alot of money.

Most people who visit this thread could be lurkers and they can have more knowledge than us and hardware. So there could be about a dozen or so people who are trying to find the remaining private keys. Its definitely worth the time.

Pretty sure that 99% of people or at least all the small retail traders don't send their Tether to Tether.io and do a withdraw into their bank account.

Most people send their Tether to an exchange, buy BTC, and send that BTC to an exchange where they sell for fiat like Gemini or Coinbase.

The fees add up taking these steps but I am pretty sure most don't care since BTC did 300% gain this year, so an extra 1% in trading fees doesn't bother most people.

The reason why these huge dumps and wicks happen and then it reverses because people are way over-leveraged. Look at the Bitmex OI which is now over $1 billion, it was never this high before (not counting last week)

So there are way too many people bullish and they are also over-leveraged and this is why a small $100-$200 dump can lead to a larger $600 dump.

There is a website which actually shows you this,
https://tensorcharts.com/u/bitmexstats

Look at the Open Interest and look at the price and you will see what I mean.

Its not as simple as that. I don't think anything catastrophic will happen with Tether since Tether and Bitfinex are making crazy money, doesn't make sense for them to scam.

However if Tether say did fail for some reason, it would create a domino effect. Why? Because most of the liquidity in alts and BTC on some exchanges isn't against BTC or Fiat, its against Tether. So if Tether was worth zero all those alts would affect the cash and futures markets. It would create a huge negative effect on anything crypto related. So even if you don't hold tether, your net worth in crypto would still go down since BTC and alts would be worth alot less.

This probably won't happen because its rare, however what will you do if block 584,500 turns out to be an orphan.

So far in 2019 it looks like only there was 4 orphaned blocks but it does happen from time to time.

So will the first valid block 584500 be the one with the true hash or the block which eventually gets included in the chain?

I am very confused how this lottery will be funded. You at first said it would be with ad revenue and later stated it would be by donation.

Making a large amount of $ by ad revenue is very difficult. And most people who are involved with Crypto and keep wallet.dat files and other private keys on there computer are not going to go to some website which has 10 popups and risk getting some malware, even if people did do that. You would not generate enough ad revenue.

You said you will get it by donation. However how exactly are you going to get people to donate. People gamble to make money not to give their away. I don't see you getting too many donations this way.

Please be more clear how this lottery is going to work exactly?

He hates it for a few reasons. Honestly when I first heard about Bitcoin back in 2012/2013, I also assumed it was some type of scam. It wasn't until I actually started mining BTC in late 2013 before I discovered how useful it can be.

Bitcoin has left a bitter taste in many peoples mouths because the media in the 2011-2014 years mostly covered bitcoin news when it was negative. Like it losing 50% value very quickly, Silkroad indicent, MtGox hacks, etc. They generally never discussed Bitcoin in the positive news. Hence why when most people read the headlines back then, it sounded like something negative. I think Warren's reason is not much different.

However he is an old dinosaur, and from what I heard doesn't even use a smart phone. He just sticks to stocks which he is good at buying and doesn't want to get involved in Crypto because he is pretty much retired.

Yes the Binance listing for Doge made the price skyrocket without all my fills hitting. I think if it wasn't for the listing announcement we would be at 20 sats right now where I had most of my big bids all the way down to 15 sats.

Looking at the price it looks like we might head into that terrority and eventually it will pump nicely on the weekly chart all the way to 80-100 sats once bitcoin starts to settle down and give alts some room to run.

I think this DOGEBTC will be the trade of the year.

A few things, I never had a Sapphire RX GPU before but you might have a dual bios switch, see if you have one then switch it to the other bios. And try and strap this bios and see if it helps. Make sure to make a backup.

You got a rare GPU and might be hard to find the bios for it. I've searched and I might of found one but its for Elpida memory so most likely yours won't work since you got Samsung,
https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/196319/196319

Download GPU-z or ATIWINFLASH and post your VBIOS version and filename and try and google search for that exact file. You will need to the original bios since you got no clue what the previous owner did to the original bios.

I don't think the primary reason why they keep faucets is because BTC faucets are the pioneer of Bitcoin of 2009/2010. It might be one reason but not the main reason.

I think its easier to just add a very small dust amount of BTC and they can gamble with real currency. If it was play currency, it would cause issues like if there is a bet id or hall of fame. Basically they would need to recode everything for play currency to ignore incrementing the bet id and also ignore functions such as hall of fame or high roller section, etc. So I think its easier for the site to give the user an actual amount of real BTC rather than play money.

This wasn't an issue because back in 2015/2016 most of the BTC faucets were pretty much given back to the casino anyways. However the abuse started much later on in 2017 when if I recall PD was losing about 20 BTC daily to faucet abuse.
