I tried to transfer ethereum from metamask to a crypto exchange. Even after a day it was in PENDING state.
I had to cancel after paying cancellation gas fee. Again I tried with a (it said faster transfer ) higher Fee and it got
dropped again ! I tried increasing speed at various points without any success losing gas fee. what's happening?


UPDATE : Got it through in 48 seconds now ! Was network too clogged last 2-3 days? what if it was critical or important ! And the worst part it it takes days to cancel even after payment of higher gas fee !

Hello All,
Since the cryptocurrency depression starting last Feb, many of us have reluctantly held cryptocurrency
seeing it fall over and over again. But HODLERS' resolution has kept it from falling further.
Should people who have held cryptocurrency continuously not rewarded suitably?

One way was to fork which have stopped happening , even when recently ethereum forked it did not
give rewards but just an improvement for stability. How does crypto community expect those who are mining
 to survive in such conditions?
The other way was margin trading which continuously bring down deposit in form of fees.
Not sure if cloud mining reward options are still in place.
Wallets like Nexo expect stablecoins !

The only people who are always on profit were crypto exchanges.
Where are equivalents to dividends and interest to survive and compete with dollars and share markets.

Are the cryptocurrency economists awake or the discipline is yet to come out of infancy?

[./geth --fast --oppose-dao-fork --rpc --rpcaddr "localhost" --rpcport 8545]

Hello folks,
Is there anyone who has solo mined etc with claymore.
I have started the geth like :
./geth --fast --oppose-dao-fork --rpc --rpcaddr "localhost" --rpcport 8545
And claymore as
/ethdcrminer64 -epool http://127.0.0.1:8545 -minspeed 45 -di 0,1 -tt 60,60 -ttli 67,67 -tstop 75,75  -ewal <exchange_wallet_addr> -mport -3333 -r 1 -mode 1
I can see devfee collected from time to time.
Has anyone tried this.

Hello

I am mining with claymore "ETH only" setting with AMD RX 570 4GB. Its mining decently at 26 mh/s.
When I check with radeontop the VRAM usage is shown as only 50-60% around 2500M out of 4089M ( 4GB).

Even if we set it to 29 - 30 mh/s by varying parameters will the VRAM be used fully?
If not what will be performance improvements with 8GB cards as cards may never require so much memory, as memory width(256) and clock rates remains same.

Please share your experiences.

Thanks

Hash-rate is defining paramater that crypto mining expects.
Can someone help me in getting latest top 4 performing graphics card (with buying links) based on

1. Multi-threaded architecture:  Solving SHA256 , Scrypt and X11 algorithms ( do we have gpus specializing in each - any links would be useful)
2. Memory Bandwidth+ALU - Is this the best parameter to consider than GFLOPS ?
3. Do Radeons (for eg Rx Vega 56) from XFX ATI MSI ASUS or any other company perform same way?

Assuming ( correct me if wrong) :
1. GPU RAM or core clock rate is not really a factor if it is 4gb-8gb DDR3+ to DDR5 and 1333+ MHz
2.PCI-express , PCIe 2.0 ,PCIe 2.1, PCIe 3.0 are backward compatable
