Right now everybody is talking about the massive crash of Bitcoin and Ethereum while most people are in panic mode.Well I have experienced first hand like many others in 2018 this situation and I continued to mine because then I only believed in the increase in price.Now it is again that I believe the increase in price but I also see now that for a 305 Mhsh rig the stats are staying really great,stable and most of all I am getting more shares because of the initial difficulty drop,not much but I think it will drop further in the Ethereum network.So I make now like 0.005-0.006 Ethereum daily while I used to make 0.0034-0.0038 and when I get the payment and exchange it in Bitcoin I am happy.

I think this decide winners and losers,everyone is free to decide at which part wanna be.

I have installed several times this for my friends and never have encountered the problem of a corrupt lib file,I did all and reconfigured the dpkg package installer,purged the ampgpu pro driver and reinstalled it,installed Rocr still I get a no OpenCL device when trying to mine and the reason my latest part of the installation that fails is this.

"Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/libwayland-amdgpu-egl1_1.19.0.50102-1408194_amd64.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I should have received a mining payment from two days ago and I know sometimes 2miners delays the payment but it has been two days,now today afternoon at 1 PM I will receive another payment but yet the first one is unprocessed so far,what can be the problem,maybe the massive Bitcoin price crash but that should not affect fundamentally the pool.

I don't know if this is the correct section as I rarely read this but I think it should fit here.I always get my mining payments to Exodus wallet and from there I send to Electrum or Ledger.I have been doing so since many years now but yesterday a strange thing happened.I get like 0.00052 daily in Bitcoin and split it in two payments because I have the rig with a friend,I sent 0.00025 to my friend with 1 satoshi fee (I always use 1 satoshi) and it got there,when I send the second 0.00025 with the same fee it didn't arrive and when I checked the transaction on blockchain.com webpage it says invalid transaction or transaction not found in the mempool.

I have been using 2miners from a whole lot of time and once it reaches the minimum payout in Ethereum mining they soon after (usually 2-4 hours) pay you no matter if you like your payment in Ethereum,Bitcoin or Nano.Today I reached the payout as always since 1:15 PM European time and normally by 17-18 Pm it should have arrived in my wallet but it hasn't so far.I am not worried as I know they will not scam but did they change the payment schedule or what,they already got the exchanged coins because I receive payout in Bitcoins,but payment process stuck at "We received the coins from the exchange at such rate and will send you your xxx amount of money soon",staying like this since 1:35 PM.

I have been running this card for several months,normally just over a year at full hash rate,I just checked the motherboard with anydesk and lolminer says a strange message like "LHR Semi Unlock tuning is ongoing" and it started just a couple of minutes ago.

Is Nvidia forcing LHR to all the cards with their new driver updates or what the heck is going on here ?

Edit: A single restart brought it back to the normal hash rate but I am worried what Nvidia is thinking to do or it was due to lolminer miscalculation?

The profitability we know has reached almost an all time low where for 350 Mhsh you make like 12-13 USD a day but I wonder what are small miners doing and by small miners I mean home miners the ones with just one rig with 6 x Rx 470/480/570/580 and doing about 180 Mhsh or 6.5 USD daily if their electricity price is for example expensive like in Germany which goes up to 0.17 EUR/kwatt.

I think many of them have shut down their rigs but I was once in their shoulders in early 2018 but I kept on mining even at a loss and at 2021 that materialized in a really big profit for me.I advice such miners to keep mining even at a loss knowing that in the long term I only expect Bitcoin price to go upward.

PS.Talking about Ethereum mining here.

I just bought a MSI Ventus 2060 12 GB and downloaded the driver from the MSI official website.I am running this on my riserless motherboard and everything looks smooth so far except one problem,the power stays at 125 watt although I have lowered it to 67% power limit.My settings are what everyone recommends -95 core clock and +1500 Memory Clock,that is the maximum for this MSI card,I have seen other brands doing +1650 but the hash rate is the same 37.xx for me as the other cards with higher memory.

Maybe I didn't see it correctly on youtube videos,maybe I need to have 1095 core clock which means I need +95 instead of -95 for lower power limit at 98 watt as I am seeing everywhere?

I had one Biostar TB 250 motherboard fail on me and I got and bought the above motherboard Asrock which I paid like 250 EUR because I was enticed by that riserless proposal from them.I forgot that they need a LGA 1200 CPU which I am going to buy tomorrow but they also from what I saw didn't supported normal SSD but only a M2 one which adds to the expenses,I read the manual and it said do this and do that and don't do that and a lot of warnings.

Anyone here has experience with this board to write me with simple points 1,2,3 what to do when first installing it?
It would be really helpful to me to not screw like 500 EUR I will spend in total for my craziness of choosing this motherboard.

Strange enough although the price of Ethereum crashed really big being now near 2400 USD from like 3300 just a few days ago which in theory should put some miners on a sad mode and especially those with really high electricity cost like in Germany where prices of energy are really high should at least in theory shut down their miners by being not profitable.This would bring the network difficulty down,yet the network difficulty is near the all time high being near 13 P for Ethereum,specifically at 12.75 P right now.Why so?Do miners believe that the price will recover and go even bigger than the previous all time high that no one is quitting yet although the price crash?Usually with other price crashes the network difficulty was down big time.

I have a few old rigs running and mining ETC easily,I am on Windows 10 and they are doing so from many years now.Lately I have a problem where the Rx 570 driver is not recognized although it installs well and detects my Rx 570 cards.I tried DDU Uninstaller,tried every possible version of drivers yet nothing,when I click refresh it doesn't show the AMD control center at all,the device manager shows the cards with yellow exclamation mark and even if I restart or use the ati patcher is the same.I guess the only reason now to go back to working is running a system restore but what would be another suggestion for this?

Problem is only at one rig.

I was reading a bit about cryptos who made people change their lives after investing in them.What I looked at and I didn't even know such coin existed it was the Ava or Avax which skyrocketed from 2.93 USD to 38.xx USD,a mere 1000 USD investment in the beginning of the year turned into 380.xxx USD dollars in this currency peak.Personally this year I tried most probably as many others with Shiba Inu by buying 15.500.000 such coins but I totally failed so far.

What can be a life changing coin with just 500-1000 USD to invest in for 2022?What are your thoughts about it?

Ps.I know that if you knew you would do it yourself but let's share some ideas here.

I have had these cards since February/early March 2021 running with different miners but all of them crashing,Phoenix miner crashing a bit less than the others but crashing.All those miners were dual ones,they could mine both with Nvidia and AMD cards simultaneously.I have asked for help in different threads during that time and all I was redirected was you have a wrong config,I was sure and now I am even more sure that I have the correct config.

What solved my problems is running Teamredminer for AMD cards and T-Rex for Nvidia cards,they are running perfectly for more than 3 days without crashing while the best I had was 2.xx days without crashing and that was when I hit some luck,mostly every 12-24 hours I had to restart my rig,now hopefully all my troubles are gonne as the stability shown is perfect this way.

 

I have been mining fine with Phoenix miner 5.7b although I know there are better miners out there,but since I don't have a LHR card yet I am happy with how Phoenix miner works.However today I could not see anymore the Rtx 3060 ti card,I installed the driver thinking it needed the latest one,however still an error and Phoenix miner says No cuda enum device.I read a bit through the net but no true answer to that,what should I do,running Windows 10 Pro with latest updates.(No update problem as I also did a roll back and the same error,I think more an error from the Nvidia side)

I can't reseat the card as I need to go physically there but I believe this to be my only option.

Lately I have seen a lot of talk about Shiba Inu and I wanted to convert 0.02 Bitcoin which is approximately near 15 million of these Shiba Inu but Exodus says your Bitcoins were not exchanged,contact support but it exchanges well Ethereum to Bitcoin and other assets,hopefully is an Exodus internal problem which will be fixed soon,I know there is a lot of interest right now for this token so hopefully it will get fixed or should I deposit the coins to Binance or another exchange to exchange these coins.I personally always prefer the internal exchange of Exodus no matter the high fees.What to do,wait or go to exchanges?

A friend of mine had bought at least 0.5 Bitcoin there and he used Blockchain wallet back in 2014.He only has the welcome email from Blockchain and the Id of his wallet,he doesn't remember the password and he has also lost his recovery phrase back which was kinda like a seed back then.Is there any way to recover this?

I bought and continue to buy daily FUN token as the website once a faucet but now a real big established business like freebitco.in uses that coin for Premium Membership advantages.I have about more than 10.000 of such coin and was thinking that maybe they will reach 0.50-0.99 USD for a coin during the next big Bitcoin bull run (which is not happening yet) and by doing so to grab a good amount of money.I am not tempted to sell now that one coin is 0.018 USD but wanted to hear some different views about this coin which no one talks about and this make me think I should sell them and call it a day.

The roadmap they have shown looks amazing but the results so far have been poor.

I just wanted to share with you all what I have noticed during the time (which is not much) that I am dual mining Eth+Zil in a pool.What I find it to be advantageous over single mining is that when the daily reward of Ethereum are higher the daily reward of Zilliqa are small but when Ethereum rewards are small which mean less money from such rewards,the rewards in Zilliqa goes extremely high.Let me give an example based on a 285 Mhsh processing power,when I was doing daily an amount of 0.0055-0.0059 Ethereum I was only doing near 8 Zilliqa but when I was doing an amount of Ethereum 0.0046-0.0048 daily due to very high difficulty I was doing like 17 Zilliqa per day and if we see for a month here is about 500 Zilliqa which can make up in the end for the amount reduced from mining Ethereum daily.I would call this an advantage for the situation nowadays.

I try to log in normally as always with my 2FA enabled and it gets the password correctly,the 2FA six numbers correctly and then it gives me an authorization error.In my email I see that I get a message of successful authorization but in fact it is not successful.Anyone else experiencing this before I send an email to them or should I wait because they maybe experiencing errors at the moment?

A couple of days ago in Hungary they just build the first statue of Satoshi,it is a statue but there is also a mirror inside and everyone when see it,it reflects himself,the motivation of such statue was "We are all Satoshi" that's why it reflects in the mirror everyone of us if we look at that mirror.I think this is a cool thing and it maybe help tourists because they get a lot of tourists there in Budapest to first acquaintance with Bitcoin which may further make them embrace it.We need more of such things in the world.

Locking as it has already been discussed but I didn't see it.
