wooooooooooohooooooooo ... first batch of 16 L3+ miners arriving this friday!!
What was your ship date on the order? Early Aug, or Late Aug? |

|
Just received a note from Bitmain that my order is now slated for shipping!! WOOT!!!
was it an August batch? Yes late Aug. |

Just to curb some of the dozen-odd emails I get per week -
I am still technically over capacity. I do not forsee having any available space in the next few months. I do not host GPU rigs. I do not particularly like the L3+ either.
What is wrong with the L3+'s? |

3600 minutes since last block... what the hell dev? Diff is at 909. We need serious hash power. I thought the DIFF problem was fixed? |

I have 4 coming at the end of Aug. Can't wait!!!

Hi!
Any recommended miner for NVIDIA and BridgeCoin? Currently using "ccminer-2.0-release-x64-cuda-8.0" on a GTX1070, and getting 586 kH/s. Is it OK?
Thanks a lot!!
This is from another thread where someone bought a GPU miner to mine litecoin.
You bought a GPU rig to mine Litecoin? God damn everybody and their mother wants to be a miner, but have ZERO clue what they are doing, kinda frustrating! Tongue
Let me break it down for you:
There are many different coins and crypto algorithms. Some of the algos are ASIC resistant.
What is an ASIC? ASIC stands for Application Specific Integrated Circuit. It basically means that its a microprocessor that is application specific, all integrated on a chip. Application specific means it can only do one thing, or calculate one algorithm.
CPU and GPU´s are also Integrated Circuits, but can do MANY different operations. Because of this they need registers, cache/memory ALU++ to be able to do these operations, and to be fitted on the same chip. This leaves less room for the "calculating" part on the chip. (I´m sorry this is a little thin, I don´t know the word for it Tongue)
So to recap:
ASIC = Really fast at one operation
CPU = Can do a lot of different operations, but much slower than an ASIC on that specific operation.
GPU = Can do a lot of different operations, but much slower than an ASIC on that specific operation.
Obviously a CPU is much slower than a GPU when mining Ethereum for example. This is because of the type of algorithm used, it uses a lot of memory.
Ethereum is a good example of an ASIC resistant coin. The operations in the DaggerHashimoto algorithm is complex and requires a lot of memory.
This makes it hard and expensive to create an ASIC for it, and this combined with the difficulty bomb/ice age that is programmed into the ethereum code discourages manufacturers to even try to create an ASIC for it.
I used to mine litecoin with GPUs back in 2013, before the ASICs came a long. If I remember correctly I was getting around 3600 kH/s on a rig.
Thats roughly 600 kh/s per graphic card, and a graphic card contains 1 GPU chip.
The Antminer L3+ is a machine that contains 288 ASIC chips, with a speed of 504 MH/s
For perspective:
1 kH/s = 1000 h/s (hashes per second)
1 MH/s = 1000.000 h/s
So a GPU mining LTC will calculate around 600.000 h/s
And the L3+ will calculate around 504.000.000 h/s
Its obvious that when an ASIC hits the market for an algorithm, GPU mining will become obsolete.
So no, you can´t mine LTC with GPUs anymore Tongue
Before you go jumping of a bridge you should try mining ethereum, ethereum classic or ZEC. There are no ASICs for these coins (and many others).
Your GPUs could also be usable in the future in projects like golem or iExec RLC.
Welcome to the crypto game, lol xD
Im sorry if this post is hard to read, got zero structure, its my fragmented thoughts basically Cheesy |

Hello Guys! Is anyone having problems to access to your account? Since today, I'm having this problem because it says login failed and I'm worry about to be hacked so please if anyone can help me I'd appreciate that.
I was able to login just fine. |

Is there a version that will run on a computer or only mobile?

For now it's only exchanges in Washington state but you can be sure it's going to expand. There is just way too much money in BTC for the government to ignore it. That's why I keep my coin in a hardware wallet not connected to the internet.  I know CEX.IO Closed my account because they are not allowed to do business in Illinois. |

I just received 2 S9's, OMG are the LOUD!!! I got really spoiled with the R4's!! |

Rewards Updated Every new user gets 50 BTX and to support BTX network gets 100 BTX To be Part of BitcoinX Community GOD BLESS  Airdrops are nice, but usually they just get dumped as soon as the coin hits the exchange. I would rather have seen a long POW and less airdrops. At least then we are working for our coins. |

Anyone here using a wireless bridge. Got my 2 S9's in and they are LOUD!!! Until I get them into hosting (Sept) I was thinking of moving them out into the garage. Can't run a wire there, but I can run a bridge. Has anyone used DD-WRT?
Or try a power-line ... that's what I used to get down to my garage (dungeon) basement 2 floors below me - until I moved the A7 up here to heat the room (on lower speed) Can you run it across a 220 line? Plus it's only for a month or so, want to do it on the cheap!! But the wife is starting to bitch about the fan noise.. Should have kept the R4s!!! These sort of things - some are quite cheap. https://www.newegg.com/powerline-networking/subcategory/id-294If you have power in your garage then it must get there somehow Ordered!! Thanks Kano!!! |

What is the last POW block?
10000 So we are out of POW already? Because I'm showing block 10534 in the wallet... Yes Now it will POS MINE Then why are we still showing pending blocks on our pool? Plus not to bitch or anything, it would have been nice to tell us this before we rent hash to mine the coin. Its there on the main page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2039819.0So Far Stake is working well God Bless In little itty bitty print!!!  Staking is working well. |
