Hi everyone,

I'm only getting 186 Sol/s Equihash with my GTX Titan X / 12 GB (original, not Pascal). I saw posts above saying around 690 Sol/s stock (no overclocking).  Can anyone tell me why my hash rate is so low?

I'm using legacy Nicehash with Nvidia 3.7.2 drivers.  I tried the newer Nicehash but it wouldn't recognize the Titan X.

Thanks nullius.  I hope somebody soon clarifies the non-Ethereum smart contract choices like Simplicity, Ivy, and Rootstock soon.  It's hard to know where to put your programming effort these days.  I'll read the Simplicity PDF and see what it offers.

Thanks!  Need my morning coffee.  Fortunately I do have the 2017 book you mentioned, not the older 2014.  The 2014 year stuck in my head from the first search I did on Amazon for Anton's book.

Hey all.  Happy Holidays.  I'm a veteran software developer, but brand new to BitCoin coding.  I'm reading Mastering BitCoin at the moment and I have a few questions:

- The book seems to favor Python, but the book is over 2 years old, a lifetime in this industry.  What is the "most favored" dev environment for BitCoin dev right now?
    + IDE? (E.g. - PyCharm for Python, or WebStorm for JS/TS, or whatever.  Doesn't have to be JetBrains, I just happen to like their stuff)
    + Programming language?  Python, JS (or TS)?, etc.

- How does the blockchain network prevent errors in the miner's calculations from corrupting the transactions?  For example, suppose a bunch of miners are using the same CPU or GPU that has a known defect in, for example, the overflow/underflow handling in the arithmetic logic units or perhaps a flaw in the transcendental functions on a GPU card, etc.?  I know a lot of miners use ASICs but I don't see why that architecture would be immune to such problems?

- Regarding smart contracts directly on the BitCoin network (i.e. - not Ethereum based), I see two projects in the field: Ivy and Rootstock.  How does Ivy relate to Rootstock if at all?

- Please list your favorite tools and tutorials.

Thanks in advance.
