Depending on a few things the 841 might be better then the 851 If you look here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4811227.0 philipma1957 did a lot of testing on the 851, the 841 was just better all around. Even if you have free power and free cooling it's still going to require more powerful psus -Dave |

Off topic Dave. That said:
A quick look at coin.dance shows BTC being 8.3% more profitable to mine than BCH, and 53.8% more profitable to mine than BSV. When you mine altcoins your mostly speculation mining, hoping the current loss is made up by some future spike.
Profit mining pools are risky: They look at the current price of a coin at some exchange or two, figure the difficulty of finding a block, and go with the most "profitable". However, the price of that coin is likely to be different after 100 confirms, when it can be exchanged for something else, so at the time of exchange it may, or may not, be the most profitable. Few, if any, profile mining pools check the order depth as well. Its pretty easy to overwhelm an exchanges order depth with profit pools.
We can probably go back and forth on this for a while. But: 1) Yes it's a bit off topic, but when discussing profit you can't live in a bubble and since this started as btc.com vs slush and added viabtc and others it does kind of come in. 2) As of now it's better to be on BTC then BCH / BSV but there are times (sometimes days) when that is not true. 2a) viabtc / btc.com / others are PPS BCH same as BTC and you can convert it quickly and cheaply. 3) True on mining the other coins. You do have to wait and that can kill profits. 4) Nicehash / MRR are not profit mining pools, you are renting your rigs to people who are paying you in BTC they one is PPS the other is btc per th per time. There are others that operate in this way also. Since this AM it has been more profitable to mine on nicehash even with their insane fees. If you are in it for the profit you don't care why, you just point and mine. Discussions like this go round and round and round. It's kind of like religious or political discussion. 99.999% of the time we are not going to change the other persons view. But I think it is important to have them. -Dave |

He can leave easy and join back easy.
And that statement there makes the all important point. *IF* you don't care about profit and all you want to do is mine BTC then yes you can argue over who pays better. If you care about money, there are at times coins / pools that pay better then BTC. You don't have to like BCH / BSV / PPC / BCA or just about any other SHA coin. You don't have to like Nicehash or any other rental pool. But if they will make you more BTC to mine there / those coins that you have to convert to fiat to pay bills, and you are not mining there / those coins then fighting over btc.com / viabtc / slush / kano is a waste of time. BECAUSE IF YOU ARE NOT MINING THERE / THOSE COINS, THEN YOU ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE MONEY AND IT'S ALL IRRELEVANT -Dave |

The report was for "Wrong section and it is not related to wallet software and crypto."
See, nice simple answer. Had that popped up in the PM that I got I could have bounced it around in my brain and said "well, yeah I kind of see the point" instead of guessing what was wrong. On that same note, I still somewhat disagree with that view since it did relate to wallets and how they could be compromised on the actual programming level. But it is in the end up to the mods. Thanks, Dave |

Unless I am missing something (which I may well be) although the concept is good, you would have to re-do how DNS is queried down to the desktop / iot level.
I can see this being useful for people who are tech knowledgeable but for a lot of people it's going to be an issue.
There have been other instances in the early 2000s with people trying something like this, I would have to dig up my work from 2001 / 2002 from a client who tried something similar. They were trying to get DNS queries out of certain areas that were blocking them. It worked well to a point, but due to performance issues and other equipment that could not run the custom app the project was scrapped. But I might still have some code pieces and notes around. They tried using it as an internal DNS server, but other issues (mostly performance) arose.

My 1st one came in today.  Looks great. Waiting on next. Thanks, Dave |

Thanks for everybody's input.
Although I have had posts removed here and there before, I could always look back and kind of say, "Well, possibly there was a reason for it." This one, I IMO I could not.
Because ETF said, it's a bit off topic. I really don't think it was and if one person can see it that way I guess others can too.
Not going to worry about it.
Thanks again everyone.

1st time posting a question like this so please be gentle :-) I just got a message that a post in I made in Bitcoin > Development & Technical Discussion > Wallet software was deleted. The posted message was: Many github accounts have been hacked. For now they are just ransoming the software back to the developers.
This does not mean that there are no other changes to other gits that nobody has noticed yet.

https://www.pcmag.com/news/368158/hacker-tries-to-ransom-github-code-repositories-for-bitcoin
Double check the github repository before downloading
-Dave I felt that it was a good heads up for people to give a 2nd look before downloading a wallet. Was I wrong? No issue if I was, just looking for input. Thanks, Dave |

Stock settings on the card.
It's not even using the EVGA drivers, just the latest one from nvidia.
Next time it crashes I will install the EVGA drivers and see if upping voltage helps.
Thanks,
Dave
You might want to use GPU stress tools (such as Furmark) to see whether your GPU is stable/not under heavy load rather. Also, there's no thing such as EVGA driver. No matter GPU brand usage, you use either Nvidia/AMD driver. I think you're confused with GPU manager / overclock software provided by EVGA. If you try to download GPU driver from EVGA website, you'll see the download link comes from nvidia.com Yeah, my bad on wording. I was thinking utility but typed driver. -Dave |

A possible issue. I don't know if it's just my setup (probably is)
Offline PC so I don't have exact time of crash BUT it feels to be every 10 days or so.
I came into the office and VS just *stopped* no crash no error just sitting at the command prompt.
8 core CPU that I am running 4 threads on + gpu
Liquid cooled cpu never even gets warm
1200 watt EVGA power supply so I know that's not the issue.
It happened on 1.12 and now on 1.13. I never had the older ones running long enough to see this
What I am running (just restarted it):
C:\Users\Dave\Desktop>vanitysearch -gpu -t 4 1iamdavef
VanitySearch v1.13
Difficulty: 2988734397852221

I had this problem. You probably have overclocking the graphics card chip. Although the game may not experience problems and even at work. On 10 day can crash . Lower the GPU frequency or increase the voltage on the video core. Stock settings on the card. It's not even using the EVGA drivers, just the latest one from nvidia. Next time it crashes I will install the EVGA drivers and see if upping voltage helps. Thanks, Dave |

Although I did somewhat in jest post the "it's rude to outbid someone in a different auction who is bidding on one of your auctions" it does ring somewhat true.
I know I have tagged out to 2 or 3 people in PMs (possibly more) asking for a nod of OK before bidding / outbidding them if I felt a conflict could ever be seen.
Also:
Location of item(s) should be mentioned.
Are you auctioning this for you or for someone else.

Does SSL encryption works because someone pays licensing fee? Sorry for being ignorant, but is this really how web security works?
Short version: No. But SSL certificates have valid from and to dates. They do have to be renewed / updated Longer version, probably wrong on some things, and missing *a lot* of detail but generally covering the situation. What happened here is Firefox will verify that the addons you have are legitimate and safe. It talks back to the servers that know this over SSL. In order to avoid certain compromises it knows certain things about the SSLs, (call it a serial number, not 100% the same but close enough) and does not just assume they are good. Unlike what happens when you just use http s: which will take just about any SSL cert as good unless it has been specifically revoked. One of those expired this AM at 00:00 UTC Unlike getting an SSL for a website for free or $10.00 there are more checks that have to go into these certs. Also since certain things are coded into the browser for safety that has to be updated also. -Dave |

1) To mods if you think this goes elsewhere please move it. 2) To everyone else. Read below. Mozilla (the people who make FireFox) did not renew one of their SSLs yesterday. This broke / forced disable almost all extensions. A fix is in the works. IF YOU ARE USING A WEB WALLET WITH ANY EXTENSION FOR SECURITY OR SAVING PASSWORDS OR BLOCKING MALWARE SITES. PLEASE BE EXTRA EXTRA CAREFUL. YOU SHOULD NOT BE USING A WEB WALLET ANYWAY, BUT THIS JUST MAKES IT WORSE. Read more here: (you of course checked the link before clinking....Right???) https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/certificate-issue-causing-add-ons-to-be-disabled-or-fail-to-install/39047/14-Dave |
