Wonder why there's too much hate about bitcoin-cash?  I am surprised how strong the price is holding. When I read about the lawsuit over Bitcoin.com tricking users I assumed it was going to crash back down to $1000 or so however we are still holding strong. My guess is until the hard fork on May 15th there will be a lot of price advances. Hopefully the fork goes smoothly. |

They had a min tip back in 2015. I can't remember what it was but it was something like 50000 Sats or so.
However you could make a brand new account, no deposits, get a 1000 sat faucet and once you hit 50000 sat you could tip another alt user account.
Whenever someone tips someone it appears in the public chat.
Usually we would see something like
Joe1 tipped Joe 50000 Sats
Joe2 tipped Joe 50000 Sats
Joe3 tipped Joe 50000 Sats
Basically that is clearly someone account farming and faucet abusing. There were even mods in the channel that show that and they didn't care. I even asked why it's allows and was given an answer along the lines of "It's against the terms but at the moment we don't enforce it".
Now a lot has changed provably because the abuse multiplies exponentially and PD had no choice.
How can you say farming is faucet abusing? Surely it was timewasting but I didn't find anything in their TOS or FAQ that saying " Using faucet and withdrawing from it is against our rules " They even promoted "The more you wager the higher your faucet gets and you are able to withdraw your faucet winnings. " However if someone Tip from Account1---> Account2 50k at the time Account2 had 1k sat. And then sending back that 51k Back to Account1 then it could be considered abusing. But banning someone for a lot of Faucet claims is not a kind move and surely is against the promises made to those members who wager 100+ BTC. The reason why people tipped themselves was because it would be extremely difficult and time consuming to go from a faucet balance to the min withdraw balance. Hence people just made a few different accounts, each one so they have enough time to go past the Captcha faucet time limit and would tip the minimum amount of like 50K until that account reached the min withdraw. How are these people exactly contributing to the growth of the site? They aren't. Just waste of resources. The reason why they rewarded heavy gamblers with a larger faucet was as a gift to get you to gamble more. Hence why the accounts with 100+ BTC roll overs had the most largest faucets. |

By paying them a hefty listing fee.
Unfortunately thats not the only requirement... Some exchange-listings work like that but bigger exchanges like Binance, Kucoin etc. seem to require more than just getting paid. Basically after the Bitconnect scam many exchanges are doing due diligence in what coin they will add. Even if the fee is paid to get it listed. Many exchanges like Poloniex have months ago stopped even adding any new coins because they don't have time due to their huge impact of new users and requests. Back in 2014 it was different. Back then you could get a coin launched on Monday and by Wednesday it would be listed on Poloniex. Back then there wasn't as much traders as there is today. |

IMHO market is starting to be bullish once again. After big correction from the beginning of this year, now its time to turn around and grow. Take a look at BTC chart, you will see that from the few weeks its going up, and this can be a good sign for all the cryptos.
BTC is not really bullish yet. It will be bullish if and when it breaks the $11800 resistance or so. The issue now is with regulation and such. Basically too many scams are going around and it's hurting the Bitcoin ecosystem. Looking at the daily it looks bearish or neutral. The weekly and long term is bullish but problem is, it's hard to tell what the bottom will be. Maybe it was the $5800 or maybe it will go further down to the $5k or so. |

Give it a longer time period.
Your hashed are based on a relative average and depending what share value the pool has it can vary in the short run.
ZEC was never really exactly 100% of what rate you saw in the pool. But you should get within 10% or so after fees.
Most likely this is variance.

sounds like a troll , 70 cards for a whole business no way unless he was paying the rediculous jan to march prices for gear
It sounds believable. Restaurant businesses are very tough and they are difficult to make a profit in and they usually don't go for much when they are sold to another party. Mostly it's the equipment which has most of the value in a restaurant business. The issue here is that most likely this guy doesn't know what difficulty is and he most likely thinks if he makes $2.5k a month he thinks he will net that every month. Which is not the case. |

Yes they are pretty safe to use. Some CPU connectors even might have lower gauge numbers so they can withstand a lot of current. You don't even need the adapter you can simply by an CPU extender and repin it or you can buy a PCIe connector and hook that up instead of the CPU connector. Keep in mind that the connections are reversed and always double check the polarity before plugging it in. |

Correct Mining cards are JUNK. Nvidia failed big time with them. Miners are not stupid  Again it depends how much they will cost. The 1080ti is very expensive and if this is priced at half the MSRP of a 1080ti then it's a good deal. However most of these mining GPUs were all mostly overpriced. Only reason people still buy them is because the gamer cards are sold out everywhere. |

This thread reminds me of what people started doing right before the ASICs hit the BTC mining market.
GPUs were very inefficient back then and for 1Ghs you had to burn 300Watts or so.
Since Sha256 was very easy to implant people started using FGPA.
Only issue was they weren't cheap and they weren't all that fast compared to GPUs.
They were only marginally faster but the biggest advantage was the power savings.

According to the ETH dev meetings the next release will be hybrid POS Casper and the block reward will indeed be 0.6 ETH per block.
However there is no time frame when this will happen.
Then later on they will go full CFG and there will be no more ETH mining.
Highly doubt there will be enough profit in ETC or ZEC or XMR to stay in the business.

What is the Musicoin Maximum Circulating Supply or is it infinite ?
Because if it's infinite it will not grow in value ever !
Total Coin Supply: Uncapped Coin Emission: 1.5 million MC/day during mineable period. What will after that maybe even devs don't know If you read back a few pages the developer said that eventually it will reach the difficulty bomb period just like ETH and it will go to a type of Proof of Sharing method. Right now the supply is fine because they want the coins to be affordable and accessible for their platform. |

Just so everyone knows I did re-start the rigs about 5 days after OP. After the Monero hardfork the difficulty shift lets my GPU miners be profitable again. As of this point, combined with a miniscule amount of day trading, Ive officially achieved ROI of the initial investment (a power supply) as well as paying for all the electricity used so far. I am now approaching the levels of value that I would have gotten if I just sold the used GPU on kijiji. Its only taken about 6 months and one dead GPU fan to achieve this. As of now Im basically at the "break even" point. Im actually considering buying a used i7 motherboard/cpu/ram to replace my gaming PC's system so that I can throw the 8 core FX processor at mining 24/7.
(Cryptonight V7)
AMD FX 8320 - 6 threads - 380H/sec - 110W
Profit per day $ 0.3159
Mined/day XMR 0.001866

MSI Gaming X RX 580 8GB - Intensity 992 - 690H/sec - 160W
Profit per day $ 0.9383
Mined/day XMR 0.004597
Power cost/Day $ 0.2304
Asus R9 270X 2GB - Intensity 512 - 430H/sec - 140W
Profit per day $ 0.5267
Mined/day XMR 0.002865
Power cost/Day $ 0.2016
Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 1GB - Intensity 256 - 150H/sec - 120W
Profit per day $ 0.08127
Mined/day XMR 0.0009994
Power cost/Day $ 0.1728
Real world stats from the pool has me doing 0.01096173 XMR in the last 24hrs
Surprised people still are mining with the Cayman series GPUs. I still got one of the Radeon 6990 which was a beast back in the BTC and LTC mining days. You can actually mine EXP or MUSIC with it at 26Mhs. Only issue is instead of using 150Watts it uses 350Watts. If I recall it's 40nm technology instead of the current 16nm hence not so bad. |

I'm PD user since 2014 and when I see your site for the first time, the interface almost same.
What's the different for your gambling site compare to other well known dice site ?
That is exactly what the owner should be asking himself. Basically why gamble on casino royals which is brand new and no proved bankroll when you can gamble on PD and be sure your funds are safe. Usually sites like this need to differentiate themselves from other sites to survive. My guess is they need promos like give a ways and other promotions. Why go to JoeBlow Restaurant if it costs and tastes exactly like McDonalds, which is trusted and well known. |

A lot has changed since 2015. Back then you could of easily got a 3500 sat faucet with only like 10BTC in rolls.
However as the interest of Bitcoin exploded in 2017 so did the faucet abusers and these days 3500 is a lot of money to give away risk free for someone who can easily 10x and withdraw and do it over and over again.
And that is why there is a minimum "tip" amount too, people claiming the faucet, betting and winning once, and sending the btc to another clon account to cashout. Not only that. You can't tip at all if you haven't made a deposit recently. I don't know for how long you are eligible to tip from your last deposit but I tried to tip someone some time ago and I got something like "You can't tip without deposit" and my last depo was made in December 2015 according to my Transactions' info on PD. I thought I was making depos after that, but apparently I wasn't.  They had a min tip back in 2015. I can't remember what it was but it was something like 50000 Sats or so. However you could make a brand new account, no deposits, get a 1000 sat faucet and once you hit 50000 sat you could tip another alt user account.

I quit a 120k job muself to mine full time, kinda thinking of getting andother development job lower stress and lower paying too so i can managbe my gear still and hodl more coins
Thats a big move buddy. How huge is your mining operation? Curious to know how much of mining revenue one would consider enough to quit a regular job. Whats worrying most is what do you think you'll do when ETH goes POS and mining dies altogether. Will you have enough money to last the rest of your life after mining? Back in 2012-2013 there were many people that did the same move. Their quit their job to mine full time. And you are probably thinking. What if mining becomes unprofitable? Usually they were very old adopters and had hundreds of BTC in their wallets so they weren't worried. Im not a super early adopter, started mining scrypt in 2013 then sold all gear and came back before the eth. pump all my hardware is paid off , im not worried about profitability dropping even when prices are low i make enough to pay for power and bills since im a garage miner. Im not holding much coin tho atm which is risky , but now with profits going back up i can start speculating again Back in 2013 I met an individual locally who I found on Craigslist who was selling an Radeon 7950 at a fair uninflated price. This was back when LTC was going nuts. The GPU seemed cheap I assumed it might be broken actually. But after talking with the guy it turns out he used to mine BTC with GPUs back in the day. And he decided to just retire from mining because he had so much BTC that even if he mined for an entire year he wouldn't even make 1% of his crypto worth. He said that the constant worry of burning down his house, constantly monitoring and restarting rigs, constant checking for new shitcoins to mine, constant heat and constant noise complaints from his girlfriend. He just said it wasn't worth it to him. |

Lost seems pretty spot on.
Some cards like the R7 370 or the 280x can vary however depending on the manufacture and memory.
An old 7870 can get 150sols but an r7 370 with Samsung memory can actually get almost 200hs.
Same with the 7950/7970/280x. Depending on manufacture some of those can run at 320hs even.

When ETH was trading around $350 or so about a month ago, there were deals on GPUs all over eBay and the local Craigslist add.
Then when it started to go back up people basically cancelled their eBay listings or stopped replying to their Craiglists ads.
Basically many wanted to be the first to dump before the mega dump of GPUs.
But what happened last month, I guess wasn't the bubble bursting.

Your rig will use about 600 Watts or so in total with those 4 GPUs .
So you can maybe get away with 3 GPUs and the rest you will need for the PEG power for the risers.
For some reason the +12V rail is very low compared to the overall available power. Looks like a low end power supply.

Yeah, I like everything in the new version of PrimeDice except for the one thing. I'd like to have the ability to view my transactions like it was in the old version. I don't know what were the reasons for removing the feature, maybe they were valid, but I really miss it because I was using it frequently. For example it was possible to see who tipped you when you were out, or when you made your last deposit or withdrawal. Is it technically too hard to keep the feature?
They shouldnt remove that feature on where you can able to see the history of transactions because every gambler do always look out into their recent transactions not only to the game itself but also into tips.They might able to hear us out and they might able to get it back.  if you are a long time gamer of the site you will really feel the changes. Hello guys, you can still access your transactions by clicking the Account menu, then choose Settings, and finally, choose the Transactions tab. Best of luck! Why has the faucet been reduced significantly even for old accounts? I remember there was a time when I used to get 4.5k satoshi faucet on primedice. Now its not even 100satoshi faucet. I wish the faucet could be again increased for oldies and regular people on the site. A lot has changed since 2015. Back then you could of easily got a 3500 sat faucet with only like 10BTC in rolls. However as the interest of Bitcoin exploded in 2017 so did the faucet abusers and these days 3500 is a lot of money to give away risk free for someone who can easily 10x and withdraw and do it over and over again. The faucet is just meant to test out the site so you don't have to make a deposit. But people started to take advantage of that. |
