I was just trying to help the OP who was asking a question about escrows, and there's one guy who said we need a rating for escrow performances. And that reminds me of a thread I visited previously, so I posted it.

Is this considered spam? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=989873.msg10775920#msg10775920

I'm trying to generate a vanity address, inspired by another post here.

Does anyone know what is the best site to use to generate those addresses? Or could anyone help me

Thanks

So what are these? They also seem to be producing the hashrate they're advertising... Not like those crap 1-3GH machines that were up before.



16,000 280xs? That may be the death knell of x11.

So I think we (as GPU miners) have reached a point where we realize more hash doesn't really help anyone. Once a kernel goes public, pretty much everyone is in the loop, so you enjoy higher hashrates for all of maybe 1-3 days before everyone is on the same kernel and your percentage of the mining pie hasn't really changed since before the hash increase.

This works like clockwork and is reflected in cloud mining pools like nicehash, most recently with neoscrypt.

If you as a kernel programmer are a miners man, then I'd ask that you focus instead on increasing efficiency at the same hash rates. So miners use less power and miners front less of the bill. Since no one is getting into mining right now (because there is no money), there isn't worry about a sudden increase in miners to fill the gap, rather miners will die... slower... Right now the majority of miners I'm sure would say they're struggling with power costs. This is something miners can really benefit from.

Even if the hashrate decreases, it still can be better as long as the efficiency increases as we're pretty much at break even right now.

Sure keep your super speedy kernels private, it doesn't matter when those hit mainstream, but making things more efficient helps the common miner out.

So a little over a week ago mining was break even on the above algos. Now it's all negative, quite negative. I have a relatively low power rate of .1144, I can't imagine everyone else having much lower, so why is it so negative? All the big coins are super negative too. While there are some coins that are close to break even, most everything is in the red. Before a week ago it seemed like people would stop mining around break even so we would reach a equilibrium between power prices and mining return.

Did everyone run out and buy maxwells? What's the scoop? FPGAs?

There are some coins I'm mining that are still positive, but if the big hashing pools like nicehash/MMR/yaamp are all around the same baseline, something has to be up.

So, what are these?



I've been on MMR for quite some time and these are growing like the plague, there is 1-2 coming online each week. Either someone is throwing around some serious cash or there are ASICs a foot here. It's hard to imagine buying new hardware give the current market for mining and the quantity of eBay cards wouldn't be able to feed 1-2 of these coming online so fast. There is also one in x13 which is conveniently also '1.2G', which is a very round number for mining systems.

So I'm a miner and hopped on the nist5 bandwagon. I'm not sure who came up with the power numbers, but they appear to be wrong. Using a kill-a-watt meter my power usage has increased. One of my systems I have the meter hooked up to has 5x r9-280s. x11 - ~910w, x13 - ~910w, x15 - ~905w, nist5 - ~980w. I'm using the same clocks and power settings across all of those.

I'm currently using the sgminer build from the icebergcoin thread and getting around 12mhs per card on nist5. Is this what other people are getting?
