842  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why I went all in on Xtrabytes. on: June 09, 2017, 04:15:37 PM
Nothing about it is promising in its current form.

Other than every node has to sign blocks not just one, it's just another coin with masternodes and with the worst naming scheme and acronyms I have ever seen. And even that system will probably have its own issues.

51% attacks are very hard to pull off and I don't see how a 51% attack isn't possible with Xtrabytes. Not with hashrate, obviously, but with node count. If only there was a white paper.

I get that its dev team is not the one which started it but the coin still stems from a premined ICO scam which will forever stay with it.

And now each transaction costs like $3 regardless of transaction size to gather funds while one coin used to be 1 satoshi. As if the devs didn't buy bags of it before resurrecting it.

So with the transaction fees no real world usage is expected anytime soon and even the devs say the project is experimental and they might not be able to deliver.


843  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What is the threshold of electric cost that makes mining pointless? on: June 09, 2017, 01:39:07 PM
I did do some homework. There is a lot of variables, and people quote different hash rates with the same setups, etc, not really as black and white as "do the math" I've done research, and looked at tools like whattomine.com but just asking people with real world experience.

Didn't know starting a conversation on a forum were grounds to get shit on, isn't the point of a forum to help each other? Yes i'm just some stupid noob asking dumb questions, but useless replies contribute even less.

You didn't get shit on, but when the same basic things are getting asked multiple times a day by the massive influx of new miners instead of them just using google, it does get annoying.

The original question in the title implies you have zero idea about power costs and profitability while whattomine have presets for different cards showing you both your revenue and profit. Playing with the electricity cost you'd see that you would have to pay $1.5 per kWh to just cover the electricity without profits (with RX 480).

844  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What is the threshold of electric cost that makes mining pointless? on: June 09, 2017, 12:50:58 PM
Why don't you do the math yourself?
845  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Wave of attacks on altcoin networks on: June 09, 2017, 10:29:57 AM
I feel like realtime checkpointing is just a duct tape solution against block withholding attacks.

Not that I can think of a better solution but having centralized supernodes is surely not the way to go.
846  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Marlin - SiaCoin OpenCL/CUDA Miner - CPU/GPU/iGPU on: June 09, 2017, 09:08:14 AM
Using MSI Afterburner, I'm now at

Power Limit % 105
Temp Limit 85
Core Clock +82
Mem Clock +164
Fan Speed 76% (on Auto)

Temperature is at 82C.


Hashing a consistent 1050.6MH/s
.

Do you recommend I turn off auto fan and manually churn it up a little to get that temp down?
I've also opened the side of the desktop case to give it some better airflow.

I would, I don't think temps in the 80°C or even high 70's are good.

But every miner have different preferences.
847  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Marlin - SiaCoin OpenCL/CUDA Miner - CPU/GPU/iGPU on: June 09, 2017, 08:49:58 AM
I've done a small overclock of 82 to the core clock and 164 to the mem clock and getting 914.5MH/s now,with m2p4 at I=29 . A nice boost.

Temp is still 80 with fan speed at 64%.

Any dangers to this?

I much prefer a cooler temperature than slow fans. I have a maximum temperature target of 72°C set up with 100% fan speed a the end of the curve.
848  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Marlin - SiaCoin OpenCL/CUDA Miner - CPU/GPU/iGPU on: June 09, 2017, 08:18:13 AM
You're definitely doing better than me, bathrobehero.

Which specific 970 do you have? Is it overclocked? Mine is all factory settings.

(Edited my post with more results)

Gigabyte OC cards, +80 Mhz but 80% power limit.

But these cards on risers, if you have a monitor attached to it mining will be slower.

Edit: additional speeds I get:

750Ti: 365 Mh/s (m2p2)
1070: 1690 Mh/s (m2p4)
1080Ti: 2920 Mh/s (m2p2x32)

But all these cards are heavily power limited (70-80%)

The problem is with these speeds Sia is half as profitable than some other coins.
849  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Marlin - SiaCoin OpenCL/CUDA Miner - CPU/GPU/iGPU on: June 09, 2017, 08:09:33 AM
I've been running this on my EVGA GTX 970 with Intensity = 25 and getting a pretty consistent 838.8 MH/s.

Is there some way to find the optimal intensity, or is it only trial and error? Is there any dynamic option so that marlin checks itself and settles on the intensity that gets the best results?


EDIT:
So I ran with --benchmark and it appears that the m2p4 kernel is best, at intensity 27?

Running for a few minutes now and it's up to 894.7MH/s even though the benchmark returned 1016.7. Still a decent improvement. Smiley

I get 1090 Mh/s per 970 with -I 29 or 30 and with -K m2p4.
850  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: New NVIDIA GPU Mining Chipset NV P106-100...which model? on: June 09, 2017, 05:23:20 AM
the only thing i like about it , itīs the passive cooling.

but resale value its NULL.

neeext!!

Well the cards doesn't have active cooling but it's clear that if you don't put them in a case with active cooling, you're going to fry them or run them throttled to like 300Mhz.
851  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How long can you mine? on: June 09, 2017, 04:57:17 AM
But price does not stay the same:

April 1, one Eth's value is ~$50 ($13.5 per day)
May 10, one Eth's value is ~$90 ($15.3 per day)
June 9, one Eth's value is ~$263  ($26.3 per day)
852  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: New NVIDIA GPU Mining Chipset NV P106-100...which model? on: June 08, 2017, 08:19:40 PM

So these will be GTX 1060s:



So now the only question is the price... and availability... and warranty as in the EU they can't sell it without at least 2 years of warranty.

http://cryptomining-blog.com/8784-seems-like-nvidia-is-making-a-video-card-especially-for-mining/

"The Nvidia GP106-100 mining GPUs will not be available on the regular market to the regular users apparently, they are going to be sold only in large volume to big customers such as cloud mining companies like Genesis Mining and/or other big private mining operations."

855  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The biggest thing in crypto is owned by morons!! on: June 07, 2017, 06:12:28 AM
Look I don't know where to start with you. Its like I have to re-explain the entire project every post. I'll give just a few of your errors cause I can't be fucked with you.

-There was a scam ICO, as investors along with others the developers didn't receive the BTC they just had their personal stake in the scam ICO, so no there is no Premine for the developers. I wish you would look more deeply that coming out with assumptions.

Static nodes are hardwired into the block and are signed, this means instead of one random node creating consensus ALL the Static nodes conform or reject a block. Its does this rapidly cause the consensus doesn't come from the nodes but from another layer onto called Chords which is a virtual P2P protocol thats conforms blocks from completely transactions. The nodes are offline and actually hold no funds so even if hacked which is impossible an attacked would have no monetary benefit to do so. THIS is not in same ballpark as fucking master nodes!

- The coins sat on exchanges for ages with no one buying it. I personally when I saw the tech plans grabbed cheap at around 40 sats. No real buying happened at 1-20 sats anyway just a few million coins. The price has been really low for weeks around 1m market cap so no one can complain about opportunity to buy cheap, just like any mining coin. Remember none of this was planned but simply the developers tracked by a scam making something good out of it. You can look for the negative in that but that probably reflects more on you than them.

-Yes the developers as we are still in development peroid warn people this is experimental? How is that scammy and not honest and reflecting their integrity? You guys are such weirdos. A developer hides risks you call a scam, if a developer is upfront and honest you call a scam!!! for fucks sake...

-The transaction fees is high so we can build up some funds, The nodes will earn fees and will also receives rewards from the storage and other services built upon the coin. They have voted to donate most of the fees for now to the dev fund. This coin is all about community and all work is currently volunteer.

-If you now know the project is literally weeks old you should understand a white paper is just not possible now and the tech must be focus. Whitepaper will come. Also the developer is Deaf and is Hungarian with low level English so communication has to come through another member of the community. Its more cumbersome than other projects in that regard. Anyway we have had a lot of information on how the tech will work as much as many projects white papers. anyway it will come we are weeks old and already growing like wildfire.


Sorry I can't be bothered with you anymore. Your questions are ones of someone that hasn't even bothered to read up on the project but has assumed its a scam from faulty facts so why should I bother with you.

I never once called it a scam, I called it an ICO shitcoin. You can replace every bit of code of the source but as long as its dirty blockchain stays it'll smell. It's still a premined coin regardless if the current developers doesn't have any of the original premine. So it will be forever handicapped.

"The nodes are offline and actually hold no funds so even if hacked which is impossible an attacked would have no monetary benefit to do so." The exact same thing exists for masternodes; you have a masternode with 0 balance and a control wallet with the funds.

So currently each transaction costs $3.15 meaning it won't have any real world use anytime soon nor does it attracts new people to invest.
856  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Ethbits $256.96 (11995.20%) on: June 07, 2017, 04:46:27 AM
Anyone know what is ETB?


Market Cap
$351,164,683
122,898 BTC

Coinmarketcap ranking: 408

how the f is 351m market cap is on 408???


Because it's only on a questionable exchange I guess.
857  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The biggest thing in crypto is owned by morons!! on: June 07, 2017, 04:37:30 AM
Shilling as in loving it? Guilty as charged. I think you cant have a balanced convo you are so blinkered in your focus on mining and anti ico you dismiss basically all the newest and biggest projects in crypto...its silly.

Nodes will collect some fees.  The plan is to develop a dev fund from them due to having no premine. There is no staking. How can you compare these static nodes to masternodes they arent even in same ballpark.

I can lead a balanced conversation, I just have a higher standard of what constitutes a decent coin.

How can they not be in the same ballpark when even the fucking roadmap says "STaTiC Nodes (master nodes)".

There's zero explonation of what makes PoSign and STaTiC nodes any different than typical staking and masternodes. There's no whitepaper explaining the difference, you're just calling people stupid who couldn't see what you yourself can't explain.

Also, the coin is advertised with No Premine which is simply and absolutely not true. You can't have an ICO without premining the coins.

I see it has a 100 XBY transaction fee so if the same amount of transactions were going through the network as for Bitcoin, then ~10% of the total supply would change hands DAILY as transaction fees so there are already scalability issues there.

And it uses the word mining, while there's no mining going on whatsoever ("STaTiC Node PoSign mining").

And even the devs don't advise investing in the coin and clearly states that it's EXPERIMENTAL.

The coin went from 1 satoshi to 700+ and the devs need funds? Yeah, they surely didn't buy bags of it before resurrecting the coin. /s

This coin smells worse than pigshit on a sunny day.
858  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Holy crap I got my lost Dogecoin back from a bad address I sent to! Here is how! on: June 07, 2017, 04:10:53 AM
Yeah, if a wallet allows you to send coin X to a coin Y address, they likely use the exact same address generating logic so the private key, public address pair should work on both chains.
859  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The biggest thing in crypto is owned by morons!! on: June 07, 2017, 04:04:40 AM
Shit even Legendary status doesn't rule out stupidity. You really are criticising a project cause of the names?

POS is nothing like POSign, there is no staking for one. Its so different that you not seeing that makes me think you MUST be stupid.

If you read more and don't jump in with stupid comments you will know the the distribution was great....is this just high level FUD?

*I see you are just a miner who wants the world to return to circa 2010. sorry. Mining is wasteful and stupid and worse still unsafe. XbtraBYtes solves those flaws. And asking for a refork so you can mine the shit out of it is about as complementary a thing as you could say and clearly shows your true intentions.

Naming/branding is important. Staking with 0 reward blocks exists, so does masternodes so I still don't see the difference. Especially since nodes are giving rewards (SHOCK) just like PoS/masternodes systems.
I didn't see any whitepaper explaining the differences in detail.

ICO and great initial distribution is an oxymoron. No coin which started with an ICO and without a PoW period has decent initial distribution. ICO buyers and miners are two vastly different groups of people, there's barely any overlap.

Mining might be wasteful, but less and less so with the rapid expansion of cheap renewable electricity but at least it's stable and not fake like creating all the coins out of thin air for free and attibuting it fake value and selling them (aka ICO).

Dash is being attacked to this day because of it's instamine period, this coin will forever stink of being an ICO shitcoin and rightfully so.

Speaking about clear intentions, you made this thread in an attempt to pump this coin and increase the value of your 'investment'. Your whole comment history is about shilling for this coin.
860  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Rumors?? Dedicated Mining GPU from Nvidia and AMD on: June 07, 2017, 03:37:18 AM

We heard from plenty of sources that Nvidia is planning to release mining cards but that's all we know.

Nothing from AMD and according to the link Nvidia will release "GTX 1060s with 90 days of warranty".

That's has to be bullshit.

In Europe/Australia they would have to offer at least 2 years of warranty and 1060s are pretty slow cards/offer poor density.
