imagine what the ASICS are gonna do to things like ETC, and the non-conformative forks of XMR that will be suddenly created and kept alive by people who fear change....


I wonder which way it will go with the ASIC and ETC.....

Yep; tis' why I voiced it.

Another way to look at it:

We have the iTrader system.... yet, look at how many people buy and sell from 0 feedback people; and still leave no feedback.    It's an inherent nature of people to be lazy;  in fact, I remember back in the old vbulletin from ~07' when people got +REP...  it was much easier then to just tick a box;  not fill out a form as it is with merit.

FWIW just reading this thread;  I have only received merit just once since the new implementation;  and gone from Hero to Legendary (apparently)...  Just noticed a few minutes ago when I saw the huge addition to the user stats.

I don't consider myself a shitposter (especially given the sig campaign i am a part of that people seem to despise);  I am pretty much straight to the point, and offer help and assistance when I can, if I can.   I have uploaded many miner scripts for free open public use.

If the original thoughts on requiring merit really happens;  I fear it would impact my abilities here in a negative way possibly....  I don't post all over this board... pretty much just post in a few subforums.

Look at my merit.   Hasn't moved much in the last how long?  Yet I am active, and contributing in many ways....

Im running the enemy miner found off the cryptominingblog.   ~14-22Mh from a single 1070 and single 980...  doesn't seem too bad.

Doesn't exactly calculate as profitable compared to what ive been mining, but i figure I have to try mine-and-hold at least once.

I am just looking into Crypto-Bridge.  I like what I see so far...

I wonder if it would be a good "mine-to" location for coins like RVN that I don't want to sync a block chain for.... 

Yep; same, this is reminding me of when people were saying nvidia was garbage yet lyra2 was paying oah soo well.....

There's always slumps in any market.  The key is having a business plan that accommodates a negative period of business.

Me personally, I've been holding onto whatever I can afford and snag up....

I have made profit on bubble in the past, but I see now where things are going and like the future.

*edit*

Ever thought of listing on more than just yobit?   Crypto-Bridge might be a good idea if its worthwhile...

you crazy..... I earn over $1/day on a 1070 on a long standing algo..... 
You must also take into account others' mining strategies may not be the same inside the box thinking that you are using.

if you can max out a 10KwH generator on petrol;  you can definitely be profitable.     Food for thought.

yep;  agreed.

I have a bunch of aluminum c and L channel stock, and a riveter.   I am just too damned lazy and want something with less headache myself

They all worked like a champ.  Installed a driver for the 470; and it was able to handle all the cards except the 960.  for that I needed to install it's nvidia package as well.

Broke out a GTX275;  no dice.  Driver is too old and doesn't play well with the newer GPU's in the system.  Always Code42.   No bother on that GPU.

as far as miner apps:  There's very little available.   I've been running XMR-stak on the ONDA since its been on.   It can utilize all the cuda GPU's because it uses its own library DLL/functions;  not "cuda ver X" you have installed and available to use.

Each new GPU you install, you must boot to windows, and wait for all the device manager operations to finish before proceeding.   I always reboot before mining.  Just to make sure configs are saved for the pcie bus in the HAL.   Simply swapping 2 cards positions makes the system freak out and need to reconfig itself.

So far;  aside from the known that the 470 is a heat-pump;  (and not having my kill-a-watt meter) It's been pretty stable.    I like this board.   Very much.   Ordered a frame from Spotswood and submitted payment yesterday I believe.    I am using a 80Plus 1000w power supply on it presently, but Ill probably swap that one out for my coolmax 1600w. 


I've been saving $$$ and have a bunch of friends who owe me cash as well, so when the new card generation hits the shelf, I am just going to buy and populate this thing.   The last two times, I should have, and lost out big time....    I don't mind if I loose out this time, cause Ill have some shiny new hardware in my hands anyways.

Simple fix:  Build time into the calculation/algo.   Have it act as a gatekeeper and salt to the results as they are passed between algos.

This way the timebase is decoded and verified out of the result, as well as an easy gauge to keep asic play out.

New devices will come out;  yes;  such as new model GPU, faster more efficient, etc..... But that's a steady predictable progression.  ASICS are quite the opposite.


Sure; people could slow down the asic..... but what will that give, a little wattage saved;  but in the end; is it worth the hardware?  probably not.

Also consider talking to @Spotswood

I just ordered a frame for my Onda B250 D8P from him.  Phillipma has done a review on his rig frames as well.

port responding fine here.

Nothing besides a youtube I upload complete randomness to sometime.   I only use FB to talk to family across the US, and have never been much of a blogger =)

5 cards no problem.  gonna try some more later today.



470,550Ti,650,650Ti,960SSC   =)  Breaking out the old guys for this test.

I would think so, but there has been no discussion on the topic from them....  

I already have xmr stak 2.30 running on my XMR machines; so hopefully the switchover goes well for us....

diff is starting to really breakaway from the price;  so ASICS are definitely on right now =(

actually;  just extremely recently, an updated version with source exists for monero7;  Now the question goes;  which pools will be following the fork as well?

Does anyone have word if nanopool will support the new monero7 algo?

Whats the best bet do you guys think?

I believe xmr-stak planned on implementing it as well...  That one is open source   I like it for that.
