...I finally bought into some DMD and thought i'd point a rig at it till PoW ends, but I can't seem to find a decent pool and/or the definitive Groest nvidia miner.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

You can find different DMD pools on OP and also a link to different Mining Software. For Nvidia cards there is ccMiner. At the DMD pool Miningfield's homepage you can also find a link to ccMiner under "Help" - "Getting started".


Thanks, a few of the links appeared dead or no longer to support DMD, but think i've found the one with majority hash.

To clarify for the miner, is there a specific release or version that is Groest optimized?  I've found alexis works better for some algos, and have a ccminer version that appears optimized for lbry, another for nist5, and still another for skein.

Is it safe to assume using CC2.0 will yield optimal hash for publicly available software?

Wow, thought that guy was just a FUDer, then a troll, then a narcissist, now it's gone to full blown schizophrenia.

Anyway, on topic, I finally bought into some DMD and thought i'd point a rig at it till PoW ends, but I can't seem to find a decent pool and/or the definitive Groest nvidia miner.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Lmao 2nd ICO this is hilarious, I swear Cheesy

Still holding 41k AMMO. What should I do?


i'm at roughly the same, i'm just going to keep staking and forget i have them.  Worst case they become worthless, 40k with current price isn't a whole lot.

Something I discovered yesterday, which is slightly unsettling, I had my nvidia rigs all using the same worker on Suprnova I'd and it seemed I was getting far to low of a pool hah compared to what the rigs were reporting, so I split them to unique workers.  I let that run for a while and meet earnings still seemed low.

THEM I left the pool dashboard open and suddenly my hash was being reported much closer to my machines readings, and my earnings increased to what i expected.

It COULD have just been variability in diff and net hash over that time, but I did the same with an AMD rig running Ubiq and also saw a significant increase in reported hah one I kept the dashboard open.

Could be a glitch in the pool code, or something nefarious, OR just a bad day to mine those found but I plan to watch much more closely for a while.

I don't speak Italian so i'm clueless on that threads activity, but from reading this thread alone I get the impression that the translation, while valid, the activity on the thread was artificially pumped.  I'm sure some bounty is due, but if this activity is true I'd think the distributor is probably trying to determine fair compensation.

In my experience, those who complain this loudly (and in solitude) are trying to deflect attention.  Maybe the translator knows what they claim is due is the result of gaming the bounty system which would be unfair to all.  If the bounty address still shows at least as much held as this person claims then there's no deceit just lack of decision.

948  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ETH Difficulty +11% in less than 24 hours. on: June 20, 2017, 11:47:26 PM
Holy carp 11%+ in one go!

It would be logical to assume at this point an ASIC, there are and will be other future dagger coins, even once ETH goes PoS

Crazy times gentlemen, think ill stop buying ti's for a while see where mining goes in next 30 days or so, thx for the info man!

EDIT: Sorry was late to the game posting, and as many people have said, its not ASIC..

Original:

Not sure about ASIC since it takes a lot of development time, resources and money.  It doesn't *seem* to make sense since at some
point ETC will go to POS, granted starting out at %1 but will go over time, making miners obsolete at some point.  (still down the road).

However anything is possible Smiley


i would argue you never once mentioned "Dagger".  it's like the sole reasoning it wouldn't happen is ETH/ETC are the only coins to mine if one had an asic?
There will be coins we dont even KNOW of yet that use dagger and are huge, some would say Ubiq and Musiccoin could be long term right NOW even
There's no doubt to me a dagger ASIC would be profitable, at this point they could even tap out a batch of chips i bet .

Course, yes, us little guys its all speculation, "anything IS possible" Smiley



Dagger Hashimoto is memory-hard, which means that ASIC and FPGA gain no advantage because everyone is limited by the speed of RAM.

Because the primary determinant of hardness is memory, and not computation, specialized hardware has only a tiny advantage; even an optimal Dagger mining ASIC would have little to offer over a hobbyist purchasing hundreds of gigabytes of memory cards off the shelf and plugging them into a medium-power GPU.

Is it possible this is something that's being done?  I'm thinking of system memory daughterboards.  Would it be possible to set up a system with several 100 gigs of system memory and use either xeons or offload processing to a GPU and hash that way with Dagger? 

I realize latency would become a serious problem dealing with the system bus and having to hold and communicate between system memory on then daughterboards and the GPU/CPU, but if it's truly a matter of AMOUNT of memory then this sounds like it might be a way to build a massive daggerhash machine.

I'm guessing memory bandwidth and latency plays a major role though (from my limited BIOS tweaking experience) in which case this might have to do with some early Vega cards coming online, I think they're all using HBM if I'm not mistaken.

Does look, if these numbers are all correct that something more than a large GPU shipment suddenly coming online, this looks like something of a different kind.
949  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Rig profit speculation(Please Help) on: June 20, 2017, 04:19:10 PM
let's say I have a 130MH/s rig mining Etherium, 500w of power consumption, U$0.28cost per KW/h cost. According to this calculator, my profit in 1 month should be near $700.00(but it doesn't take into account rising difficulty).

Today, the profit per day is $ 23.29, if we assume the price of Ethereum won't change, taking into account the rising difficulty, what would be the daily profit of this rig after:

A) 1 month
B) 2 months
C) 6 months

I'm new into this and seems that the difficulty rises exponentially.
Thanks in advance.

just factor a rise of 15% per month to be on the safe side so either add 15% more hash each month from your profits or watch your profits decline lol

its not rocket science , just project profit reduction by 15% each month so in your case in july you will see 23.29 * .85  = 19.79 a day  etc etc

again you can mitigate this problem by adding hash every month.

Now if the diff rise for the next month is lower than 15% then you have extra payouts always a good thing, if its higher god save u lol

This is a very rough way to estimate ETH specifically, because of the additionall Diff bombs and PoS speculation there's more to factor in to the considerations. 

It's safe to assume (I think) that there's AT LEAST 6 months of reasonable net income potential from GPUs.  The real issue then is the scarcity and price of hardware at the moment.  It's going to be hard to bolster operations at a reasonable price point over the next few months, especially with the still unknown impact of Vega and (possible) new Nvidia cards hitting the market in the near future too.

I'd say to make a real world pessimistic estimate (plan for the worst, hope for the best) you should expect your profits to be quartered by Fall.  Still, making $25 today, that would still net ~$8/day by late this year.  That's still net income, and not insignifgant, but it won't be the same flood of money it is now.

Mining is a HOBBY, and should be treated as such, NOT a solid investment vehicle.  If you're in this just to make money there's easier and quicker ways to make profit by spending the money that would go into hardware on coins directly and looking into ICOs, day trading, and staking. 

If you really like tinkering with hardware and squeezing out max performance from your gear, then mining is actually fun.  It's not necesarily the best route to quick cash right now that it was 4-6 months ago though.

EVERYONE STOP BUILDING MORE MINING RIGS!

951  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Was there a time gpu mining was not profitable? on: June 20, 2017, 03:58:16 PM
YES, if you're talking daily NET profitability after electricity and hardware cost.  HOWEVER, I'm quite jealous of those rare few who may have been mining Ethereum and other big players today from 2014 to 2017 at a net loss AT THE TIME.  If you'd mined ETH during that time, AND held the proceeds, it would have ultimately been incredibly profitable.

That said, without some sort of major market recession in the near future, we're much more likely to see a loss in profitability due to rising difficulty rather than token valuation, which will be an entirely different set of circumstances and may lead to an ongoing low level profitability but, in the end, no more golden age for mining.

My thoughts (hope) is that the team is either on Summer vacation OR they don't spend time around here.  Although I find the latter hard to believe because he was very active in months past leading up to the Wyvcorp debut.  Maybe they're just busy working on the business???

EDIT:

Just logged into Slack to check what's going on, just saw this:
"For those looking for updates: I am in the process of making minor tweaks to the wallet (add more DNS seeds, get the QR codes working by default, etc) and reskinning it. We wanted something similar to the website, (think Exodus Wallet, but more gamer-oriented). The skin needs a font and some fresh icons, so before I can make a mockup I have to get those from the design team. I have been recently assigned development of the Windows wallet, so I am setting up my build environment for Windows releases this weekend. Once the skin is done, I will crank out a new release."

Sounds like MNE is the WAVES token creator for the ETH blockchain.  I do worry a little that Ethereum itself will implement something similar in time and it may deprecate the usefulness of MNE.
956  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RX 380 along with 570 on: June 19, 2017, 04:26:57 PM
R9 380 is not an RX card.  They SHOULD be able to work in most rigs co-mingled but you're combining two different chip architectures, and drivers may be a problem in that case.  Basically, drivers old enough to be stable on the R9 may not work well with the RX and vice versa.

There's no fundamental reason you couldn't mix the two, but the only way to find out for sure is to try and see what the results are, if you have problems, drivers would be the first place to look for a cause.
957  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Digibyte mining with ASIC on: June 19, 2017, 04:24:15 PM
Short answer, yes.

Longer answer - you'll need to take into consideration the variable Diff. on each algo.  Mining a GPU algo (Skein for example) will yield a different amount of coins that mining on an ASIC algo (SHA256 for example) it's far from a 1:1 hash/payout ratio across the different DGB algorithms.

I think the issue revolves around the insane boom in ZEC and ETH, many people who WERE mining WYV have dropped it for greener pastures with the reward drops, and the much clearer profitability in other coins.  Many of those people are probably also trying to get some BTC to reinvest elsewhere.

I would agree that the lack of dev communication here is not terribly comforting though.

Ok, i've followed the Facebook and Twitter group/feed.  I must say I'm a little incredulous as to the shortness of details and vagueness of the airdrop itself.  Plus the formatting of this feed OP reminds me quite a bit of some recent complete sham ANNs.  ZETH/WAAH/RIDDLE/ScryptWaves, and others.  Airdrop is literally free coins, so sure, but I don't even see any format for how many coins will be distributed, where they will be distributed (lack of wallets), and what the coins genuine development roadmap may be.

So i'm in for the drop, but buyers beware is my message here.  I wouldn't pay anything for this coin until something substantive is produced.
