to be honest their site looks like other scammy sites so I don't understand why would you order your miner there at first place (look at some more recent transactions from them, not past)... But anyway for how long was your order on hold ? 
842  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Alt mining power consumption on: January 19, 2017, 05:26:36 PM
You are running cards on stock... You can always change that and alter power consumption the way you want it. Anyway from what i found from personal experience is that power consumption is lowest when mining Zec for almost same profitability.

Well you are new here and I just looked over your rocketr.net account and guess what, looks like you got negative feedback there saying that you are scammer. I would not recommend anyone buying from him until he provides some proof that he actually owns these codes.

Just looked over your website. Kinda like the design of it. Definitely looks interested but don't really understand why would you limit yourself to canada only when you can be worldwide exchange ?

They are starting from Canada, but obviously will be a worldwide exchange at the moment only CAD fiat, but they are working to have a lot of other fiat currency to open to the world....

I'm from europe and i'm using it, not much for trading between CAD and BTC, but for some interesting new opportunities of investment, also if, sometime, i also trade CAD/BTC and viceversa.....

Well I can understand if that is the case but what is the point in buying .ca domain name ? I mean if it becomes world wide it's kinda stupid to be at .ca so I don't see logic that they used when choosing the name.

I don't think this site is safe. This type of websites prooved to be scams and for as low as 1% i don't see how are they making profit
847  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Updated H/s rate WIKI on: January 18, 2017, 09:55:11 AM
Hey all, I have fumbled around on the net and found a few wiki's/doc's/excel sheets with gpu mining stats but nothing really updated.  I know some updates have come in the last week with a few dev's so not sure if anyone will update those sites.  If there is a good updated all in 1 site to use please let me know, if not I would like to take some time to build a new, updated wiki.  I currently only mine ZCL so my use has been EWBF and nheqminer on Windows but will need input from others using other cards/OS/software.  If this is something that interests most let me know and I will start working on it.

Thanks

Claymore updates his zec miner all the time and when he do it hashrate changes few percent. Users almost always post in his thread after update so just look there.
848  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 100 ether vs 1 btc on: January 18, 2017, 05:18:51 AM
I would wait for next price spike of ethereum and then sell half of it. Don't be inpatient price will raise in the futur but then grab the opportunity before it goes back to normal.
849  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ALTCOIN should adopt to law and system and be ruled by miners ? in PoW concept. on: January 18, 2017, 05:16:43 AM
well the whole point is avoiding that. What is the point of making crypto that will abide by anyones law and system even miners. Anyone with lots of hashpower can do whatever they want
850  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Best (Single or Dual) GPU for Ether, XMR, etc., Mining - (Free Electricity)?! on: January 17, 2017, 09:19:49 PM
Nvidia GTX 1060-1080 depending on your price, for CUDA at least, some of the coins work very well with NVIDIA, but many with AMD as well, so I guess it depends on what you want to mine the most. I've never been an AMD miner so I can't speak for the cards even though many swear by them.

Personally I'd go with 2 1080s or 2 1070s and focus on coins that work well with the CUDA algorithm. Best miner for Nvidia/CUDA is Tpruvots CCMiner hands down. https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases

A simple ccminer bat file with --benchmark ie. "ccminer.exe --benchmark" should land you good insight on which algorithms get the best hash rate and with 2 1080's/1070s you can mine really any coin even if it's an alg that doesn't get the best hash ie. x11-x17 at damn good speeds.  Besides speed, the new Nvidia cards are very power friendly as well.

I have 2 980s in my rig and they work great, although thinking of upgrading. AMD could very well be better if you strictly wanted to mine Eth/XMR though..Not sure on the hash difference between the two brands.

Best of luck in your journeys,
Nem

Would 2x 1060's work better than 1x 1070 or 1x 1080? I'm looking at the dell site and I can get 2x 1060's for the price of 1x 1070...

And thanks for all the useful info! What are you mining with the 2x 980's? What would you recommend mining with my GPU's?

Lastly, where do I find the other components? Ideally if a Raspberry Pi would work, that'd be great since it's cheap and just for GPU mining?

Don't listen to what he said. There are many more coins that work better with AMD (noticable difference is only ZCash now for nvidia) so go with them. 1080 is terrible card for mining 1060 can pass anyway, but you are looking for something like RX470. You said you have free electricity. If that is the case you can go for used R9 390s but then take into consideration for how long will you have that free electricity and what would be price after it's gone

Thanks for the advice - I am in college and am about to launch 10 R4's in 3 dorms (including mine)... was hashing S7's and then S9's (had to create a vent) and got sick of that. I will have free electricity for a while... 3 semesters to be exact. So about 1.5 years.

I have heard that everyone's using AMD. How would you recommend building a rig with the cheapest other components? Do these rigs produce a lot of heat/noise? If so I'm just going to ditch the idea and buy more hashflare contracts.

EDIT: Is the RX470 the absolute best AMD GPU? Can I go higher up the tier? I'm not going to build a 6-GPU rig like everyone else... more like a barebones PC with 1-2 GPU's at most. So I need those 1-2 GPU's to be FAST - and I don't care about electrical costs.

Also, really needs to be fireproof/safe. It is in a dorm.

Well for you got to choose what you want to achieve here. You say you want low noise and heat but high power. Choice here is between R9 390 (produce high noise and heat but lots of power) and RX 470 (low noise and heat but lower power). With free electricity I would recommend buying R9 390s (used) since they will ROI fastest in your conditions. But if heat and noise are taken into consideration then go for RX 470 (480 is more powerful but price difference does not justify the power gain)

I mean I get that you want to warn people about bugs but lets be real here. This only affect certain accounts and showed 10 cents less than amount he actually had... Not really major bug worth promoting
852  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: I have free electricity and internet on: January 17, 2017, 11:40:45 AM
Nonsense. My laptop at work is mining for many monthes and it's completely OK. The laptop will shut itself down in case of overheating.

Yeah but is it proftable ? I mean consider the fact that you are stressing your laptop for few bucks a month. Laptops genrally have weak cpus and integrated/weak gpus
853  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [Poll] Do you feel part of a crypto community ? on: January 17, 2017, 08:40:38 AM
Well taking part in crypto community actions can mean different things. Some people say that miners and traders are ones making community of one coin. I agree to some point with that. Look at all major coins, they are in fact popular because they attract miners and traders encouraging conversations and questions. I personally voted yes here because I'm part of multiple coins community and I also take part in mining and trading

855  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CPU solo mining on MAC on: January 16, 2017, 05:18:18 AM
is there any good and easy-to-install program for doing that?

I presume I need a wallet and suitable mining program. I'm thinking to have it running on the background of my macbook pro while working. Not thinking of mining heaps of coins, just a little bit on the side with an alternative coin that one day might grow.

Thanks for any suggestions

Even if you manage to start mining you wont get any profit. Mining on laptop is not recommended and days of mining when cpu was profitable are long gone. You must mine with gpu now
856  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: MyMonero.com 48hrs offline on: January 16, 2017, 05:15:41 AM
as expected it works now. Your transactions are not lost, it just looks like they did not update their node so you cannot see then. Anyone who dont like their service should download node himself and enjoy being in control
857  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Choosing Altcoin Mining on: January 15, 2017, 12:54:27 PM
There will be always someone rising and someone dropping. From that perspective it's good to mine with Scrypt ASIC as it can mine 100 and 1 shitcoin. Instead of only 4 coins (GPU) or SHA256 (Bitcoin + some usless crap coins.)

Most of coins that are mineabe with script ASIC miners are highly centralized. It's hard to get Scrypt ASIC miner and they are very expensive so developers almost always control majority of coins and manipulate prices
858  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Choosing Altcoin Mining on: January 14, 2017, 10:54:19 AM
Profitability of altcoins change all the time. Go to some mining calculator, enter your details and see what is most profitable at the moment and that is what you should mine. Now there are only three viable options, Ethereum, Monero and Zcash.
859  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The new Decred Promo Video... you won't believe the quality on: January 12, 2017, 08:55:21 PM
It's cool video that is showing some of decred features. Mined this coin some time ago along with ETH when it was profitable... Always kinda liked that whole voting thing. It's better to let community make decisions instead of few individuals (Ethereum...)
860  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Question about Etherium mining intensity (computer is super slow) on: January 12, 2017, 08:52:17 PM
I remember with Bitcoin you could set the intensity of the miner, I really liked that feature. Currently I'm using QTMiner and EthMiner to mine. I can't find an intensity flag anywhere, or any miner that supports it. I'd like to be able to use my computer while I mine. Is this possible? And if so, how do I do it?

Claymore's miner support intensity. Get it frome here. After you download it in your start.bat file after all your pool configuration specify which intensity you want to use (look at claymore's documentation). What would be right for you is -li tag. It reduce your mining speed but card's will be stressed less
