I've never heard of revesible computing before but after reading a couple articles about it, it's a fascinating topic.

You should not be able to do that, for a reason.

This coin is developed slower than the original JPC.

When we'll get sweepstakes back, roadmap, anything?

unfortunately the record of the previous position of the sweepstake seems the reason for many forks. So before we find definitely where the problem is, we can't restore the sweepstake. It's better to have a stable blockchain.

You know more than I do but here are two facts:

 - forks happened even after the sweepstake was disabled;
 - since I properly disabled staking I my wallet forked.

It seems to me that staking is the issue and not the bonus rewards but then again I could be wrong.

I have evga 1000G. This PSU comes stock with 2 cables that work for 1080ti. I tdp around 70% on 1080ti already tested. They stay around 170Wx4 = ~680w plus the rest goes up to around 800w from the wall. This fits in the 80% push for the PSU which I think it's healthy.

I would have gone with evga 1600w PSU but they are ridiculously out of stock and didn't want to wait. As soon as the bigger psu comes in stock I am ordering it and I'll make another 4 or 5x 1070s rig with the 1000w PSU.

So you mean you have a couple of 8+8 pin cables?

I do have extra 8 + 8 pin cables. I do. Am I being terrible noobish right now? Is there a "trick" that is right in front of my eyes but just don't see it ? If I plug it in with a second 8 pin cable and use the 6 pin at the end, windows won't see the GPU. It's in device manager with the yellow warning sign. As soon as I put the right cable (8 pin to dual 8 pin (6+2)), it is recognized.

No, I'm just very surprised as all my cables are 8+6 (6+2 + 6) maximum and I've been buying big EVGA PSUs for years now. Even bought some extra cables from them directly but they didn't have 8+8, only 8+6.

Also... for those not in the slack... wtf are you waiting for?!?!?

pivx.slack.com

I hate slack, it's practically a hugbox with so much useless filler it's hard to find relevant information even with the search.

It's a shame this thread is so dead because of slack.
727  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 8 pin to dual 8 pin (6+2) on: June 23, 2017, 08:41:59 PM
No, 1080 Ti's require 2 x 8 pins and the G2 1300W comes with 6 VGA ports on the PSU and 2 x 6+2 + 6 cables and 4 x 6+2 cables

That's 5 x 8 pins total (they might as well come with only 8 pin single cables) without converters meaning it can only handle exactly 3 pieces of 1080 Ti's.
I have 36x 1080 Ti's (4 different models) and 30 of them (3 different models) are using 8+6 pins. Only one of the four models use 8+8 pins.

Huh, didn't know that but I can see the FE also has 8+6.

hmmm ok ;( but nothing in my account only the 100!? what can i do?

If you're on the correct chain you can try a rescan. In the wallet go to Tools and Wallet Repair and chose Rescan blockchain files. It will take a while but it checks for missing transactions.

More like gambling.

People would "donate" the same amount in the hopes of quick profit.
731  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Do you name your Mining Rigs ? on: June 22, 2017, 11:38:06 PM
I know them by numbers, makes it easier for me.

Though all of them seem to have their own quirks and errors even though the OS was mirrored so it's almost as if each number had a personality.

Kind of reminds me of the TV show Dark Matter.  Smiley

look for 16 awg 18 awg is dangerous imo

This. And even then I'd be skeptical. 8-pins can deliver 150 watts (6 pin can do 75 watts) or 12.5 amps each so running twice that off of one cable is not a good idea.


 The CONNECTOR used for 8-pin PCI-E is specified at 8 amps per pin - multiply times 3 (as only 3 leads are used for +12v) = 24 amps x 12 volts = 288 watts.
 PCI-E spec is VERY conservative on the connector.

 Running an 8-pin plus a 6-pin should be viable if you mind the wire gauge, on a high-quality power supply.

 However DEFINITELY make sure all of the wires used are at LEAST 16 AWG.

 The other question is WHICH EVGA power supply are you using? They DO make some that will handle 4 x GTX 1080 ti in a rig with ONE power supply (G2 1300 for probably the best example) - and THAT power supply has enough connectors by default.


 If you think you need to modify the connectors to "make them fit" you are probably trying to put them in wrong.

No, 1080 Ti's require 2 x 8 pins and the G2 1300W comes with 6 VGA ports on the PSU and 2 x 6+2 + 6 cables and 4 x 6+2 cables

That's 5 x 8 pins total (they might as well come with only 8 pin single cables) without converters meaning it can only handle exactly 3 pieces of 1080 Ti's.
733  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What is your uptime % on your mining rigs? on: June 22, 2017, 11:24:01 PM
Probably around 99% on all of them even without a GPU usage based tracking/switching.
734  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The biggest thing in crypto is owned by morons!! on: June 22, 2017, 11:21:46 PM
Your future investors, buyers or whatever are going to follow much the same process that the other poster did and quickly make up their minds, based almost always on 99% opinion based, rumor based, emotion based action. 

I guess facts only have 1% relevance in your book...

BEWARE of this coin!

It is a scam built on top of a scam. (Kind of genius actually.)

This coin has a troll army of shillers who will attack anyone who has doubts or questions. Check the Ann thread, it's always the
same newbies who push this scam. I haven't seen an Ann thread with such bad vibes before. They're all snake oil sellers.

The "dev" was involved with a number of scam coins and has almost no commits on github.

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/6g9gez/long_read_but_a_must_before_investing_in_xby_be/

Yes, and this whole thread along with OP is another example of proving your point.

Not sure if sarcasm or full retard mode.

Why do you think we are in a bubble?  Huh Huh Huh

I'm not sure why I put you on Ignore and then why I removed you from Ignore but it seems that I disagree with every single comment of yours I see.

I mean I'm not even sure why I'm bothering now except for maybe being curious why would you think that we're NOT in a massive bubble?
736  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Which coins are good for a passive income? on: June 22, 2017, 05:44:25 PM
PIVX masternodes or even staking though at these prices it would take a while to get a return on your investment.

I had a stake reward that was confirmed ~200 blocks later then much newer stake rewards, never seen that before, how is that possible?
738  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 8 pin to dual 8 pin (6+2) on: June 22, 2017, 08:24:48 AM
I must give juice to 4x 1080ti. I only have 2 of those 8 pin to 8 + 8 (6+2) per PSU. I have another rig 6x 1070 on a corsair PSU.

The rig I want to place the 4 1080ti is a EVGA PSU... Somehow the companies hate each other and even though the cables are same family, they won't fit.

Now my question is, if I cut or use sandpaper to modifiy the shoes that won't go into the PSU, would that be a big nono ?

I tried to find cable to buy separately, they seem to sell them only in complete set, which is almost $100.

You want to blow some shit up?
By all means modify the psu cables.

There are lots of power supplies that can handle running 4 1080 ti's, buy one.

Don't buy the most expensive mining cards, only to cheap out on the power supply.

You must have gotten me wrong. I have two separate PSU. I only lack on enough cables for them. 1080ti needs the 8 pin to 8 + 6 pin cable.

They make adapters for that....to turn an 8 pin into an 8 + (6+2)

This. And even then I'd be skeptical. 8-pins can deliver 150 watts (6 pin can do 75 watts) or 12.5 amps each so running twice that off of one cable is not a good idea.

There's a reason higher end PSUs give you more 8+6 ports and cables instead of simply giving you more 8+8 (or even 8+8+8+8) cables. I don't think I ever got a 8+8 pin cable with any PSU, only 8+6.

If you go down that route of splitting the 8-pin into 2, check the temperature of the cable all the way and get back to us, I'm curious.

What I do know for sure is that you should never interchange cables for different brand PSUs, they don't use the same standards even if the cables fit perfectly so you'll end up frying stuff.
739  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best of (upcoming) ICO's on: June 22, 2017, 12:46:42 AM
We will know soon enough which ICOs were scams and which ones were not

You and a few other people making profits is not necessarily indicative whether or not an ICO is a scam or not.

And the beauty of ICOs is the devs doesn't even have to disappear, just pick up the massive funds and grossly underdeliver while leaving crumbs with soon™ written on them.
