I don't know who said it before, but I can paraphrase it: "Economics TA is a "science" which explains why yesterday's predictions didn't happen today."

Well, there is some trend noticeable in the weekends for sure. Someone is buying each weekend and this is kinda unexpected. Institutions don't buy on weekends, or do they? Grayscale added another 10K BTC's the other day, which gave a reversal to the slightly bearish week. Normally we would expect people to sell during weekends especially before xmas buying last minute stocking stuffers. Instead, it seems that average Joes became wiser and prefer to stack bitcoins. May be many will give this xmas satoshis as gifts to their loved ones?!  

This and the lack of any significant corrections is quite different from what we had in the 2016-2017 market. We just need one final push to get over 20K. May be in the next 24 hours? At least it would be stupid if the bears try to suppress the price longer. With Grayscale adding 5K BTC each day, Microshares incoming 600mil purchase and numerous institutions declaring hundreds of millions purchases with the snap of the finger, the life of the bears and manipulators never looked so dark and doomed. This is what we've been dreaming for the last 4 years! Nothing can stop the price now - china, gox, mnuchin, etc. fud is pointless. And if proudcunt clown shows up with his math and science shorting trolling, then we definitely will go to $30K very soon  

So, I guess the next move will be pretty violent and getting above $20K soon. Weak hands loss=strong hands win!

Wait, did I hurt your pride by correcting your wrong claim? You may have too much pride and lack of proper judgment of your own level of knowledge which obviously is at the level of pressing the button of the computer.  You spent 1 week scratching your ass only to deny the obvious and twisting you own lack of knowledge?!? Just to look not a n00b. With that response you only proved that

(Not just a n00b, but the n00b in this forum!)
And next time instead of tryintg to pour knowledge in your empty bucket head, I would personally give you

which you know where to tuck in. I guess your intelligence is just enough to figure that on your own.

I've read the description but I still can't understand how Grayscale market works and whether it is different from a ponzi. I have several questions:
1. From whom registered clients purchase Bitcoins - from Grayscale (with a premium I guess) or from other clients like a regular exchange works?
2. To whom registered clients sell Bitcoins - to Grayscale or to other clients?
3. Who is forming the buy/sell prices - Grayscale or the clients?
4. Everyone is talking about Grayscale buying bitcoins, but what about selling? Are they selling in the spot market at all?

For now, you can try nanominer or gminer. Some cards are having higher number of stale shares with nanominer like 15%, while with gminer they are around 2.5%. For some reason gminer is not working on smos (althoкgh i didn't test the newest version of smos), but on hiveos it is working well. Not so well as Claymore, but good enough.

It sound like drivers are set in graphics mode, not compute.

He can blame only himself for the bad decisions. Many good advices from much more experienced holders were given to him, but he ignored them. He preferred to defend his rusty mind decisions (pun intended) with more seemingly profound reasons about tether fud, hodlers betrayal, etc. Then he invested 'cleverly' into USD claiming to make a good profit from one swing. He thought this will keep happening. After that USD/eur crashed by 15%, so I guess he is an usd bagholder now. Some people never learn from their mistakes. I can bet he will buy again at some Bitcoin 'crashes' in his eyes, only to sell again at or below his main investment price again.

Is there a -tstop 90 like option to stop mining if temps reach 90°C?

It is only a matter of time when the devs will take advantage of 6800 architecture. As the author of the notorious video https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/comments/jzp6mp/does_smart_access_memory_unleash_the_6800_non_xt/

pointed out in the comments below:
...
"Additionally it looks like I just stumbled onto a bug which enabled what I have shown in the video. It's deeper than SAM and looks like it might be tied weirdly to Adobe Premiere's OpenCL render engine, where it jacks up something with OpenCL to allow two independent 'device' id's, that allow the miner to page to both as independent GPUs, opening up two separate DAG files in memory."

So without any optimisation this 'bug' allowed two threads 41 Mh each vs one thread 62 Mh with the default settings. The increase of the hash is not linear, but we should expect may be 100 Mh for 3 threads, 120 for 4 threads, etc. Of course, devs will need some time to do it. And I expect some other optimisations, which may give another 10-20% boost. So IMO 6800 is quite a perspective investment, provided that ethereum will be mineable for the next 12 months.

I've been contemplating somethig recently. We all expect that 2021 will be incredible for Bitcoin. May be the price will cross 50K, 100K, 200K, or even more. With that in mind, wouldn't it be better if I take an unpaid leave of absence from my work for 1 year and go to some exotic island with no internet and tv. My work spot will be reserved, so I have no worries for that. I could just put some sell orders between 50K and 500K and when I return, I will discover what happened. In this way, I will avoid the emotional decisions and selling too much too early.  

I tested gminer with amd R9 390 8Gb hawaii cards under smos. It starts hashing and even finds 1 share, but after that just keeps hashing without any accepted share as shown both in the miner and the pool. Neither of the cards on any of my rigs hangs. They keep hashing but with no accepted share except the 1st one. There is also some linux error message for not finding a file to read in a directory, may be this is the cause. Any fix for this?

Edit. Today I tested it on hiveos and it is working really well with <2% stale shares.

You are right about the stale shares of nanominer. But for some reason gminer is not producing an accepted share for any of my 390's under smos. It may be related to opencl version 18.20 or it needs root access, I don't know. I can't test now under hiveos, where the opencl is 19.20. Any suggestions?

This is not true. 390's don't have a bug. What a ridiculous claim lol. Windows drivers have a bug that reduces the hash. Also most of the miners haven't updated hawaii kernels for the newer amd drivers and OS with linux kernels. After some testing, I found that nanominer is working, so I am hashing with 30+ MH/s as it  has always been for ethereum. Soon phoenixminer will fix the issue for the last epoch, hopefully lolminer also. Some report that gminer is working, but for opencl 18.50 on smos it is not producing accepted shares, although hashing with 30 Mh. May be on hive os with the newer opencl it will work, I just didn't have time to test it.

Are you kidding? My 570's work with 31.7-31.9 Mh, and 580's with 32.2-32.4 Mh for 3 years without issues. They are on 12 card rigs which used to work with windows, now with smos. Only the last night the 4Gb cards hanged during the epoch change but with a reboot they worked well again.  On my main computer with windows 10, the 580 8Gb card is hashing with 32.220 with claymore straps and -rxboost 1. I raised only the mem clock to 2100. I could raise it to 2170 and I will get another 0.300 Mh, but I prefer not to, so that I can use the computer freely and watch videos with no issues.

I'm talking about R9 280x (Tahiti) cards. They are typically with 3Gb VRAM but in 2016 I found  special model XFX R9 280x with 6 Gb. They all work fine with lolminer now. I started using the latest smos in August 2020 (kernel 5.0.21-sm9). I had to enter the parameters
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1;
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100;
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1;
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100;
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100;
in one of the linux system files. I can't remember which was the file. But similar solution can be found in the forums of hiveos. I think it is
in  /hive/bin/miner file, just under the RIG variables. Claymore didn't work without these parameters but some other miners may work. In my case even after I entered these parameters, the display in smos looked broken with endless loops of lines. But the rig was actually working and I have full control with the web interface of the rig.

Thanks, man, you saved me from mining ETC with these cards! I've spent the entire day and before that more days looking for a miner that can work with all my 390's for ETH with no luck on smos. The miners either don't load DAG on some cards, or simply won't hash. Gminer for example was hashing at full speed but with 0 accepted shares. For some reason I've missed only nanominer but after reading your post I decided to give it a try. For my surprise it worked well for all my 390's. My internet is dropping too much today and I can't judge how many are the stale shares, but it seems ok. I don't know if giving a root access will make the miners work and recognize the cards. The other problem is that with a bios mod with 150-200mV undervolt the cards crash with all miners except Claymore. If I put the default clocks in the OC tables somehow the clocks lower a bit, the hash drops with 1-2 Mh, but the cards are stable and don't hang. May be a lame solution, but these cards are power hungry with 330W from the wall and need that undervolt. After the bios mod the consumption drops to 220-230W, may be even less. I am not sure, since I didn't measure the consumption of the MB with a CPU load without the cards. Anyway, hopefully phoenixminer developers soon will fix the issue with these cards.

Since the last crash in March, we had only one correction of 20%, which is very unusual. Of course the explanation is obvious - big investors entered the market with the purpose of long term holding. Some TA 'experts' may claim that a correction is at the corner, but looking at the liquidity of the exchanges and how quickly the price recovers, I just don't see it. May be if the price increases 30%+ for a day, we will see some more significant correction. But if the current trend of 4-5% daily gains continues, I would expect more like sideways periods in some 10-15% channel from the ATH after each doubling.

Yes, half of my 390 hawaii cards are not loading the DAG file, although they are 8Gb. The other half is hashing with only 22 Mh/s. Strangely, my tahiti cards are hashing as normal with 26-28 Mh. Of course, under linux, more precisely smos.
