I presume with https://titanbtc.com/ being down there's no way for 2FA coin holders to sweep their balance?  Undecided

Unfortunately just got this email from PayPal. Sad

An eCheck payment from partners name removed was declined by the sender's bank. We will automatically try to process this payment again in 3 business days. It then usually takes 3-5 days for the money to be deposited into your account. Please do not ship items until you receive payment.

I've tried to read that a few times and I still can't figure out exactly what is happening. Does that mean that they've attempted to refund you and there is no fund in order to refund you? I just don't understand why they are sending you payment, unless that is what Paypal is saying in regards to the refund.

Yes he’s contacted me on Skype, PayPal tried to withdraw the money from his account to refund me but he didn’t have the funds available so it got declined. It’s now gone to review status with PayPal on the dispute.

The default software will not allow you to even mine on non-AsicBoost pools. You'd have to modify it to do so (at the cost of efficiency and voiding the warranty probably)

Halong clarified that the speed would be no different, it'd be 16T regardless, it's just efficiency that takes a hit if the software was modified to a non-AB pool.

I'm wondering when the other manufacturers will hop on the overt AB bandwagon.

-ck said he was only seeing 1/4 speed after modifying to run on a non-AsicBoost pool, I'm inclined to believe him as he has one in hand.

How to compare 16Th with Asicboost to a miner without Asicboost? Is 16Th with Asicboost equivalent to 16Th without Asicboost in terms of mining profit?

It's 16th with Asicboost, if you run it on a pool that doesn't support AsicBoost it performs much worse (1/4 speed I read). So basically forget about AsicBoost in comparing just know that this is a 16th miner that only works on pools that support AsicBoost vs the S9 which is a 13TH miner that works on any pool.

Also pools that support ASIC boost are essentially Bitcoin Cash pools right? From what I understand ASIC boost does not work on Bitcoin Core Seq Witness...



No you got that wrong, it's only covert AsicBoost that doesn't work with SegWit. Which is the suspected reason Bitmain supported Bitcoin Cash.

I am reading it the other way around. Correct me if I am wrong.

Overt asicboost needs pool support and those are ONLY BTC pools currently.

There would be NO ADVANTAGE to using these machines on a BCH pool. Effectively these machines will be used to mine BTC exclusively. As the designers of these halong machines intended.

For 90% of miners on this board that is not a problem. For other people it could be.

Its part of the deceptive business practices that we have seen.
The initial sales pitch should have come with a disclaimer:
"Works better at some pools than others."
"16TH but your mileage may vary"

Well I see no reason why BCH pools couldnt also support overt AsicBoost. Hopefully it will become widely adopted by all pools, then there really is no need to worry about AsicBoost, it'll just be a 16TH miner.

Ok so I am really lost.


When Bitmain used AsicBoost, everyone and their grandma was angry and upset and Evil Evil Bitmain was shouted...


Why are we celebrating AB now? I really dont get it lol


Makes no sense to me, to suddenly praise something we hated, just because its Not Bitmain for once :/
Bitmain had it hidden from the public and had the patent for it meaning no one else could use the technology giving them an unfair advantage. The halong group paid dearly for the patent to buy it and then opened it up with the blockchain defensive patent license - this license means anyone can use the asicboost technology provided they don't patent anything else in their hardware. Think about it - they paid for the license, only to open it up for everyone. No one has an unfair technology advantage now.

I thought Bitmain only held the China patent and the original creators / US patent holders (Timo Hankeh and Sergio Lerner) were the ones that published it via the BDPL?

Read the article in my reply I posted above, Bitcoin was (allegedly) using covert AsicBoost which is 'bad' for the network and shady (so surprising Bitmain would be shady) without the permission of the original patent holders (Little Dragon). Since then AsicBoost became part of the BPDL(https://blockchaindpl.org/) as overt AsibBoost and Halong is using overt AsicBoost, which is not bad for the network, but requires pool support (currently slush and ck pool that I know of).

What does this Asic boost accomplish and what is it?

A method to get 20% better mining performance from ASICs, there are two implementations, covert, which it's been rumored Bitmain have been using on the sly with their own miners to get an advantage over everyone else (and is part of the reason they tried to block SegWit as it doesn't work with SegWit) and also isnt great for the network as it encourages small block size bias, and overt, which Halong are using. Overt requires pool-side support but supports SegWit and has no block size bias.

You can read the whitepaper here: https://www.asicboost.com/

Some unsubstantiated but credible claims against Bitmain regarding covert AsicBoost: https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoins-new-controversy-asicboost-allegations-explained/

Kudos to the inventors, super clever stuff. All this makes me hope even more that Halong is legit and will succeed in sticking it to Bitmain.

anyone managed to run 7 GPU???
the 7th running through M.2 riser

The M.2 riser unfortunately does not work for gpu only for SSD

Dang this really sucks, I just bought a bunch of M.2 -> PCI-e 4x adapters Sad is this a hardware limitation or a BIOS limitation?
