The biggest problem right now is the huge amount of new miners that join the party.

Ethereum is the biggest minable coin
Here is the difficulty chart...
500% increase from january 2017 in 5 months...



Ethereum has a progressive difficulty scheme in the code, but not 500% in 5 months. Most of the increase is new miners. The after party (nachpiel) might not end with a happy ending. Wink

Most of these miners will probably disappear just as fast as they popped up once mining profits inevitably going down. Stuff like Pandaminer selling out within minutes shows how many lazy miners there are.
965  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Poll: Mining Room Top Temps on: May 17, 2017, 02:20:31 PM
Probably around 35°C/95F if there's airflow is the level I'm not that worried about. Without airflow it should probably be lower as some areas can be much hotter.

Though my cards have 70-75°C maximum temperature limits.
966  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Since when Bittrex asks for name, address... for crypto to crypto trading? on: May 17, 2017, 12:44:43 PM
Im getting sick of Poloniex's lags so I searched for an alternative and the only alternative is Bittrex because the rest of exchanges no volume.

Turns out Bittrex is asking for all of that data and checks it on a public record:

Quote
How do you verify accounts?

    Basic accounts require users to submit their name, address, and birth date to us.  We verify it through public records.  If we can verify you through public records, we will accept your application for a basic account.  If public records do not match you can also enter a mobile phone number and receive a text to become Basic verified.  If that fails as well you will need to proceed to an enhanced verification.

https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/215282838

I have been using a fake name on Poloniex for ages and they don't care. But in Bittrex it looks like they actually verify it with public records so I don't want to risk getting my funds frozen if they find out I use a fake name and a VPN.

Fuck this. Looks like im stuck with Poloniex.

I'm not from the US but even then I also use a fake name for Bittrex since forever but it's not safe to do so as they could start demanding for verification any day now.

That's what they have to do in order to comply with the regulations (AML, KYC).

I hve been trying to login to C-CEX since this morning but all I get is this:

Maintenance...

Server is on maintenance. Please be patient. It will be up shortly.  Cry

Anyone else have same problem?

Well, it does say "Server is on maintenance." so it's not just you.

Yep.
969  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Do you use LCB (leak circuit breaker) to your rigs? on: May 17, 2017, 10:32:22 AM
I use residual current circuit breakers, not sure if they're different from what you're using but they never tripped so far.
970  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Rumor Bittrex is releasing it new layout soon on: May 17, 2017, 12:06:49 AM
I don't think many people think about the looks of Bittrex. Functionality is what matters and they're going backwards since they removed the Contributions tab used to show how much coins the top holders have.

It will probably be a mobile friendly annoying materialistic nonsense design with fewer functions, terrible spacing and bigger buttons. Just a guess though.
971  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why would anyone use a payment network based on an imaginary currency? on: May 16, 2017, 03:03:11 PM
I know cryptocurrencies are a real thing but can this really be implemented into our lives?

Imaginary in what sense? They are backed up with a network of computers all having access to all the transactions.

If anything is imaginary, it's the value of regular paper money. It's basically people in power telling you it's worth X amount and you don't even know how much of it exists while cryptos are generally transparent and decentralized.
972  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Saturncoin mining on: May 16, 2017, 11:59:01 AM
Saturncoin is uses Scrypt algorithm so it's dedicated miner (ASIC) territory.

With CPU/GPU miners you'd be just wasting electricity.
973  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RX 570 Results: ETH + PASC (29.3 MH/s + 293 MH/s @ 82W) on: May 16, 2017, 08:36:24 AM
that's just the core at 82w, the vrm uses another 70w..check it with aida64

my rx570 elpida @ 900mV uses about 150w for solo 28MH/s eth with core on 1132MHz, mem on 1975MHz..and 180w for dual 28MH/s eth + 280MH/s pasc

I download Aida64 and checked the power consumption of the GPU and VRM and it doesn't seem to make sense. I raised to the voltage to a little bit under stock voltage ~0.962v just to see how much power this would consume and Aida64 is saying the GPU is using ~115 watts and the VRM is using ~93 watts. But I highly doubt that means the cards are using 115 + 93 = 208 watts? That can't be. Which means at default voltage this card would be using way over 200 watts which it shouldn't since its TDP is only 150 watts. You sure the VRM wattage isn't just a percentage of the GPU wattage?



The TDP is 200 watts as far as I know.

The last picture of this techpowerup review an RX 570 uses 187 watts during Furmark and in this tomshardware review it also seem to use 200 watts with a short peak of 225 watts.

Anyway, I'd never trust software reported power consumption values.
974  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU splitters/cluster connections.... on: May 15, 2017, 08:37:28 PM
I was thinking of a splitter - something like this:

http://amfeltec.com/products/flexible-x4-pci-express-4-way-splitter-gpu-oriented/


And mobo to be something like the ASUS H81M Plus with 1no 16xpci and 3no 1xpci




Those are super expensive as far as I know.

It has been said that you'd need both a custom mobo BIOS and a modified OS to even have a chance of addressing more than 6-8 cards.
975  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Is there a way to augment the VRAM on a GPU? on: May 15, 2017, 08:31:41 PM
The memory capacity on the GPU board is fixed... is there a way to somehow spoof the location of memory the GPU references? In doing so.. could you redirect the GPU to use an external SSD as its RAM?


I doubt this is possible... but the idea of a GPU accessing a 2TB SSD is surely highly appealing?



Even if it was possible, it would be super slow (compared to RAM speeds).

Yeah, that's why I asked for an at-the-wall measurement.
977  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: PIVX Busts into the Chinese Markets on: May 15, 2017, 06:46:05 PM
Chinese BTC100 is now the 2nd biggest PIVX exchange by trade vol after only 2 full days of trading.
It is currently trading PIVX at around 9.9 Chinese Yuan ($1.40 USD) even with high 1% trading fees.

btc100.cn/newsview?id=228

 Cool

Well, technically it is, but the volume is still only around ~$17k on BTC100 and $498k on Bittrex. Good start I guess.
978  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RX 570 Results: ETH + PASC (29.3 MH/s + 293 MH/s @ 82W) on: May 15, 2017, 07:10:57 AM
Currently using 3 Sapphire Pulse RX 570's 4GB with Hynix memory. Waiting on a motherboard to come in to add an additional 3.

Copied the 1500 straps
Undervolted cards to 0.818v
Core clock: 1140
Mem clock: 2050
In order to lower the voltage more i'd have to lower the core clock which hurts mining performance too much. So far all 3 cards are running between 80-84 watts and has been stable for a little over 24 hours. What are your opinions on the outcome? Could I improve the hash rates anymore without raising the wattage?



Have you checked the power consumption at the wall?

Maybe you want to mention the staking premine of 5 x 240000000 coins...

Yeah, 2013 called, they want their premine scams back.

Ah look what I've found:

https://github.com/Blakestarcoin/BLASS/blob/master/src/chainparams.cpp#L101 (greets to Bulgaria btw Smiley)

Google:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=213.169.33.11

Results in a coin with pretty much the same params like this one:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1848897.0

And - oh wonder - read what happened with that coin:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1848897.80

Dumped & Dead... Smiley



Great find.

...yet some people are still interested... smh
