Not familiar with the mentioned Michael, but whoever he is, his speculations can only be that - speculations. No one can predict any flow direction on the market these days. Patience is key. Hoping for the best.
That is right. The price is $68xx now, so there will not be bull? |

It's too bad zcash team is corrupted and don't want to fork to make Zcash asic resistant. New asic miners are 10 times more efficient than a gpu rig with the same price. They are already accesible by some and soon will be available for sales. The developer Zooko is a paid by Ver/Wu shill. He deleted Peter Todd's Asic resistance code. Peter Todd is a famous Bitcoin Core developer, and as we know Ver is in open war with them. We all know that the money in zcahs team came exclusively by Ver, so no doubt what is going on. Here are links of Todd's twits: https://twitter.com/peterktodd/status/992309206572138496https://twitter.com/peterktodd/status/993108684585644038If the ZEC is not changed with the PoW to be more ASIC resistant, it will be used less in the futrue. |

The gpus pries were high before the mining kicks in, yes, after that they become even higher and that premium is still there, but I know the demand for cards are falling, cause profits from mining are falling as well
So, I expect that prices for cards will come back to last spring values, unless bitcoin hit 25k level within a month...
The mining is not so profitable at the moment. But after the new wave of pump, it will be profitable again. |

yupp i snagged two FE's from Nvidia site this morning, 600$ CDN each, thats like the price of a higher end 1070! im in!  haha I think they will do what a 1080 will on hash as they have that good 1070 memory Not shipping till Nov 2nd, that hurts, but its only a week *I have removed the "Rumor" from thread title and added Preorders on Now for Nov 2nd Have you tested that? |

But I read some articles mentioned 1070ti should come with 2432 cuda cores, instead of 2048. It is just 128 cuda less than gtx 1080.
If that is the case, then it is better than 1080 for many mining. |

Its been few months i've decided to make rigs rather than buying pandaminer. I mine ETH only and I notice most of my GPU rigs are getting more and more slow on hashing rate. Is this just happened on me  So the performance on GPUs are decreasing over the time? what gou you have? up to 3gb gou are not suable anymore, and the 4gb will be soon over too, because ETH have a diff boom that increase regardless of mining and the dag files is getting bigger and bigger, so you can't mine with old gpu anymore I am using AMD Sapphire, Power color, ect.. 4gb RX470, RX480, RX570, RX580. Mining using Claymore. So this is normal?  or just the GPU performance? This is normal for those cards. You will expect 30% mining performance reduction for those cards in the next few months. |

Does setting --fee 0 also slow down the performance? I know ZecMiner for AMD did that, but the dev said so. Here, EWBF says there is a --fee option, but doesn't say if it would lower performance if you set it to 0.
Just looking for clarification.
This miner is actually quite a bit faster than excavator's, so I'm okay with the 2% fee.
Can you try it yourself? |

Hi! Ive just created table with hashrate and power consumption for most popular amd videocards, please help me fix it. PM me or write here if have another value(s) for any card. Model Sol/sec Power

Im actually doubtful a manufacturer actually think about mining, even with thousands of card, it's still a drop in the water for them, that said, since they're dominated by nvidia in the gaming/embed world, possible they try to appeal to more markets, you never know, they did kinda the same with the opteron against intel for server CPU and were able to make quite a good hole with a pretty good product. Also the market of PC has been on the decline for a while now, so that may be a good way to make up for the difference. We'll see ! I don't except that much difference price/performance ratio against the 470/480, but let's wait for the numbers  same i can already see, that they are similar to 1070 performance, minus a better boost on eth where amd excel the only good thing is that the 1070 price might come down tnx to them... If that is the same as 1070, it is a big disappoint. |

1070 can do 310 sol with 100watt, or 370 sol with 150watt, that is better than any amd out there, i'm still laughing thinking that there are poeple that believe amd is better...
This isn't brain surgery, rocket science, or even algebra. It's simple division... Card Hash Rate Wattage Cost $/Hash R9 Fury 300 H/s 150W $260 $0.86 1070 370 H/s 150W $400 $1.08 Keep paying $1.08 per hash, I will pay $0.86. btw, right now one hash pays $0.006 per day so: 0.86 / 0.006 = 143 days 1.08 / 0.006 = 180 days That's without power costs. Goldmine. If your electricity price is cheap, it is better to use the R9 Fury. If it is high, then it is better to use the nVidia. |

"For the first season, one of the four sharks is Vinny Lingham, a South Africa entrepreneur known for a string of companies including Gyft, Yola and now blockchain startup Civic. He also happens to be one of the most vocal supporters of bitcoin, having incorporated it into past products.
In the most recent episode, Lingham brought bitcoin to the fore by offering his investment to the developers of augmented reality game Augmentors in bitcoin.
In the clip, made available online by television network M-Net, Lingham tells the Augmentors founders: "The problem you’re trying to solve around creating rarity … can better be solved by using the bitcoin blockchain. So, my offer will be 500,000 ZAR, or roughly 59 bitcoins, for 20% of your business."
In interview, Lingham explained he was given confidence in his investment by the success of games like Spells of Genesis, a trading card game that integrates a blockchain-based token.
Lingham told CoinDesk:
"I made the investment in bitcoin because I believe that it's the right blockchain for the Augmentors team to leverage to build a globally accessible game where ownership of limited digital assets can be verified."
Games like Augmentors and others represent a first foray into the use of cryptocurrency tokens for gaming, but augmented reality games may prove to be an ideal place, he said, for this blurring of the lines between in-game and real-world value.
Change of direction
In short, Lingham proposed that blockchain be used as a new solution to the problems the entrepreneurs were trying to solve – generating scarcity and uniqueness in a digital environment.
Initially, the idea for Augmentors was that game characters would be summoned by real-world items, metallic "triggers" that would be sold to players in order to generate revenue.
But under the new system, the company will raise funds by selling 'databits', an in-game cryptocurrency that also makes use of the Counterparty token system and that players will be able to use buy items and abilities for their characters.
It was a quick change of direction, but one which the team behind the game seem to have taken in their stride.
"After Shark Tank, Vinny threw us in at the deep end and basically told us to figure it out," said Michael Joubert, creator of the Augmentors game and lead developer on the project.
Notably, Joubert's comments point to how difficult it remains to use blockchain technology, even for the highly technical.
A self-taught developer, Joubert built the initial prototype of the game single-handedly, before showing it to Kyle Haffenden, a friend from high school who went on to become a co-founder and current managing director of the company.
Still, he said it took about a month for them to figure out how Counterparty could be used in the token sale.
"It was a bit of a learning curve, but at the end of the day it was straightforward to do it," Joubert said.
New collaborations
Since adapting its platform for blockchain, Haffenden said the Augmentors have developed a good relationship with other game companies working in a similar space.
"We been chatting with Spells of Genesis, Book of Orbs; all of the other Counterparty games have been in touch," Haffenden said. "We've been listening to what they're doing, explaining what we're doing – you could say that there's a lot of interest between us."
At present, no date for the initial crowdsale of tokens has been announced, but by Joubert's estimate, a full launch is likely to be a year to 18 months from completion of the sale.
In the meantime, some character art for the game is already online, along with some backstory for the game world."

I am lucky to hold some counterparty just in case the price will go sky high. But being an holder of counterparty requires a lot of patience.
For some reason this train needs time to get fueled.
now crucial times, went down support after forming a head and shoulder pattern, but now is back at it. we'll see if it is still a support or became a resistance. The price of the coin is not rising. Maybe the big rise for the counterparty has finished and it will be quite. |

And I have to say that I didn't made even a peek to their progress since like more than a year. But I'm kinda familiar with the tech and I just thought it should receive some deserved attention.
The ZCash will be released later next months, that could affect the price of most of the altcoin in the future. |

There is another way for this thing, you can build a zcash GPU-miner and sell it to the public, maybe you will get a lot of money, for sure I will buy one if it's not expensive.
Miner with built in fee would be the best idea, something like CDM. 0.2 bitcoin is quite expensive for the small miners. So it is better to use the fee based system for small miners. |
