1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [BTCP] BitcoinPrivate: A Truly Private Bitcoin [Equihash] on: April 21, 2018, 03:10:48 AM
I have a question about the shielded address.

1) Can I send coins from a B Address (Transparent) to a Z Address (Private)?
2) Will it work with a Electrum wallet or do I need the full-node
3) If I send it back to a B Address would the block-chain trail be blank or would it pick up were the coins previously left off?

I asking because I want to move my Transparent coins off the grid but also don't want to come back and haunt me later if you know what I mean. Like once the coins get moved into a private address no can see them or know how many there are, but if they ever end up back on a B address would it be traceable back to the original B address it was mined to?

Took a few days and it was resolved. Much quicker than Polo that took 6 months. Coverted to Eth and walked away. MedicCoin has a reaaaaaallly long way to go considering Folding and Curecoin is triple the earnings for the same about of PPD.

Yeah I submitted a ticket. No response yet. I doubled checked it was the right address and it went through. has 13000 confirms so far.

Well I finally got around to trading my MEDIC coins on stock.exchange. Unfortunately its been 24hrs and it still hasn't shown up. I was smart and only sent a few Smiley. Being the only exchange for the coins doesn't look good. I suggest people look elsewhere to unload these coins. PM me if you want to do a personal trade.
5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining , still worth it? on: March 17, 2018, 04:08:56 PM
Not worth if if at all and here is why. For the same price as a 1080Ti you can straight up buy a years worth of coins mined. Of course don't buy BTC, pick a few alt coins and sit on them for a year. IF you were to mine, in a year you MIGHT break even if you sold all the coins.

I just sold all my cards and kept a single Titan Xp. Got double what I paid for them in May and still have all my coins so when the market recovers in a few years, I'll be ready to cash out.

GPU MINING IS DEAD! Just like in 2013 crash. Until the next coin takes off, the only people are mining would be the ones who are HODLing for years! otherwise you might very well lose money after selling coins every month.

BTCP is worthless until it get posted on some exchange. Block rewards of 1.75 is insanely low. It will take 2 months just for me to get 1 coin now (at current network hash), even less in a few months. I'm waiting to dump my BTCP and quit my job.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Anyone mine HUSH? on: March 06, 2018, 02:12:59 AM
If you saw the state that wallet (beta) was in, you wouldn't mine hush either. Good idea, good project, just seems like no one home and the wallet and support for other wallets is null.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Folding At Home With Medic Coin Earn Big Money with your GPUs on: March 06, 2018, 02:05:28 AM
Its not my fault that Coin Market Cap lists it that way https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/mediccoin/ . Fix it before blaming me for posting whats listed. OR if that isn't your coin, use a name that isn't taken.

Edit: Also any progress on merging FoldingCoin with this?
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Folding At Home With Medic Coin Earn Big Money with your GPUs on: March 05, 2018, 07:49:48 PM
Damn whole time I didn't check the actual prices on medic coin. its not 16cent a coin like the op said, its 1.46c (0.00000064 BTC) lol. I have 146 coins and its worth like...well $2.13. Lesson learned....NEVER take anything at face value.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Folding At Home With Medic Coin Earn Big Money with your GPUs on: March 04, 2018, 09:10:06 PM
Hmm good point. I just assumed it was converting it into a USB signal just because unlike a ribbon cable, it doesn't have enough wires to accommodate all the pins.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Folding At Home With Medic Coin Earn Big Money with your GPUs on: March 04, 2018, 02:01:39 AM
Also if you want to get into a private discussion of the flaws of this coin I would be happy to. I am fully aware of how much effort it takes to even make a bad coin. It is clear that a lot of time and effort was put into this project, but it still needs TLC and starting a thread by saying a single card makes $90 is misleading to say the least.
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Folding At Home With Medic Coin Earn Big Money with your GPUs on: March 04, 2018, 01:54:45 AM
I am sorry for talking smack about your coin. Been seeing a lot of FUD around the internet and it rubs off I guess. Best of luck with your project, I just can't get on board without a easy way to get the private key and have bigger exchanges on-board. I have to pay the power bill somehow ya know.

Also The only REAL BIG MAJOR criticism (besides everything I already said) I have is why the need for 199K coins to create a masternode. That is 2.23 BTC (32K) just to be a node (did the math wrong, its $30). ZENCash requires 42 and other even less. BTW the wallet say 500 when you select create just so you are aware.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: New Antminer A3 price? on: March 04, 2018, 01:31:40 AM
They made 3 Billion dollars last year with no competition, they can do whatever they like. its completely sold out even with a higher price.

You CAN use USB risers in folding, but higher-end cards suffer a significant performance hit if you do so, ballpark 25-30% in some brief testing I've done on my Aorus GTX 1080 ti cards.
If you were seeing 500k on one, you either had a "pain" work unit type or there was something else limiting the card, even on a USB riser I normally see more like 800-900k on most work units (vs 1.2M AND UP on most work units on non-riser setups).
The hit is less on lower end cards, but still noticeable.


I've been folding on and off 10 years. CPU with a AM64, than waaaay back on a 9600 GSO (old folders remember this being a beast of a card for performance ratio). I've done testing with many cards because I did find a fold forum post on folding forums that someone testing this waay back in 2010 that the OP said he/she found no difference. This was true at the time because the cards were not powerful enough to saturate the full bandwidth on even 4x PICE 2.0. Things have changed a lot in the last few years. I'm looking at my 1070Tis right now and they using 56% bandwidth of PCIE 3.0 8X or roughly 4.421 GB/s if you do the math on it. PCIE 3.0 1x is 984.6 MB/s. That means a single 1070Ti is using 4.49 times the bandwidth of 1x 3.0. Now that is not saying you will lose 75% when on USB risers. Its project dependent but with 1x I was around 330K and with a 8x slot (not fully used) it is reporting 768K PPD on average. Same card, same computer, same project.

Edit: Also don't forget folding really does need a CPU core per card or it will suffer more than a USB riser would do to it. Test it out. Put you CPU to full and watch you card PPD drop to nothing.

Food for thought....

Edit 2: Oh I also forget that any USB cannot exceed 500MB/s. Thunderbolt can, USB cannot, so really even if its reporting being in a 3.0 Slot, its more like 1x 2.0.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Folding At Home With Medic Coin Earn Big Money with your GPUs on: March 03, 2018, 04:24:54 PM
nsummy ah the lonesome fanboy. Just because they got a nice website, doesn't mean the FAQs are useful lol. I looked for the private key, couldn't find it.

Anyways for folding you want to dedicate 1 CPU core per video card or you'll have some very low results. Plus you cannot use the USB risers. Those are 1x. You need at least 4x PCIE 2.0 to get clear of the bandwidth issues. Even so, with a 1080Ti 4X PCIE 2.0 isn't enough, 3.0 is though. So unless you have a X79 or X99 with 7 full 16x slots (running in 8x mode) you are actually not using the video cards anywhere close to the full potential. When you say 12 cards, that instantly says mining board and all at 1x.


1080Ti running in 1x yields around 500K PPD, 4x (2.0) 800K, Full speed 1.3Million.

Edit: Looks like I made 32.69 coins for an hour of folding yesterday. If anyone want them post your address. Otherwise they will be gone forever.

Well I did some reading and it seems like the project is doom to fail. Instead of piggy backing on curecoin, the Mediccoin is forcing people to mine a shitcoin (very good coin) in the hopes that in a few years it will be worth something. The key to mass adoption is have exchange support and a good wallet. This has neither. I found a critical flaw in the wallet. You cannot see your private key so you are SOL if the wallet isn't backed up. Even those backup files don't work half the time. NO private key - NO GO!


Cons-

None existent exchange support.
No Private Key (Wallet)
Must choose between Curecoin AND FDCL or This.....

I'm sorry but this coin is extremely flawed. Time to switch back to something I can ACTUALLY SELL!
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Folding At Home With Medic Coin Earn Big Money with your GPUs on: March 02, 2018, 06:50:46 PM
Yeah I was doing Foldining Coin for a while until Cryto become more profitable. For a few months back in June / July I was getting $500 a card per month. Than everyone else realized Folding made better money and the coins dried up :/

Edit: I backed off. Only gonna put one rig on this project until this dries up also.

Edit 2: How can I become a masternode, any tutorial on this? I got a Dual Xeon laying around as a file server that can be used.
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Folding At Home With Medic Coin Earn Big Money with your GPUs on: March 02, 2018, 06:44:32 PM
I feel like messing with this coin and put a good 30 1080Tis on this.  Cool

Edit: Gotta ask the wife if she wants to give up mining for MEDcoins  Grin Grin
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Folding At Home With Medic Coin Earn Big Money with your GPUs on: March 02, 2018, 06:36:01 PM
I put 6 1080Ti on this. Lets see that $540 a day role in........

Anyone else getting "Color mode not supported" in Windows 7 64-Bit? My Win10 64 has color.

Otherwise the hashrate is the same, I guess 800Sol/s is wishful thinking.
