"Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, told the community at the recent ETH Shanghai Summit that the Ropsten Merge testnet is the most critical milestone for developers. The successful completion of the merge upgrade scheduled for June 2, 2022, will be key to the journey of Ethereum's transition from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake." Full article HERE |

Stay on 512.77 , don't upgrade to 512.95 . There is a confirmed presence of a mining lock in the 512.95 driver. If you upgraded , don't worry , you can simply reinstall the previous 512.77 drivers and mine at full speed. Make no sense what nVidia doing  Read more HERE |

" Ethereum Merge will arrive in the summer of 2022Ethereum Merge is considered a milestone for the altcoin as it transitions from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake, after a long wait. After several delays over the past year, Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, announced the date for “The Merge.” At a Web 3.0 ETH Developer Summit, he told attendees that “The Merge” is the largest event in the altcoin’s development roadmap in 2022. Ethereum developers have been working on Proof-of-Stake for almost seven years now and that all the work will come together in the summer of 2022. " original article: HERE |

At Ethereum block height 13,773,000 the network will implement the Arrow Glacier upgrade which aims to postpone Ethereum’s Difficulty Bomb. The Arrow Glacier network upgrade will go into effect around 10 December, delaying the “difficulty bomb”, an increase in mining difficulty, until June 2022 as the blockchain transitions from proof-of-work (PoW) mining to PoS. The Difficulty Bomb was supposed to happen 4,000,000 blocks or 611 days after the Muir Glacier network upgrade. However, Arrow Glacier will push the bomb back further to June 2022. This will give ethereum PoW miners another six months to continue mining the Ethereum blockchain until the June 2022 change. Once the Difficulty Bomb does happen the mining difficulty will make it so PoW miners get phased out because it will be too difficult. |

It was a really nice round number today , so i thought its worth to make a screenshot It was the time, when a lot of ppl started to dump they ETH's today , and the price fallen to the 1900$ range .  8 hours later we are back to the more affordable Transaction fees ... :  |

Im sure we going to see a lot of "crying " ppl here as soon as Price going up , scammers , hackers getting into actions  , and most of the victims going to be some of our community new members , our "Newbies" Watch out for newbies who promising "save on dev fee" kind of miner programs hacks , and you just need to download a file to your computer , then run the .exe file ... IF NO SOURCE CODE , NOT OPEN SOURCE PROJECT, FORGET ABOPUT THOSE JUNKS NEVER RUN ANY .EXE FILE ,OR IF YOU DO USE WIRESHARK OR SOMETHING SIMILLAR TO ANALYZE what your freshly installed junk doing on your network . if you running something like this on a pc , where you keep important information about your wallet , don't be surprised if all of your hard mined coin going to disappear . ...or your valid shares decline , bc your miner going to mine for somebody else ! Coin price up its mean scammers targeting miners, especially newbies with a promise to save on dev fee . Dont be fooled when newbie account holder creating a .exe file , promising you can save lets say on dev fee, and another newbie keep saying how perfect is that new .exe file, what another newbie just created ! Dont be fooled when the creator make his source code public, its can be totally fake , you need to Decompiling the code , and see whats in the .exe file ! or compile the file yourself from the source code , if you want to stay on the safe side !

I didn't write a detailed topic for long time , but today i got motivated from a " legendary" member here to give him (or her) a very detailed information about my own Antminer e3 mining experience from the past 25 months. This topic might can be a tribute for all those Antminer E3's out there , bc not to many days left for them :)at least not to mine ETH So im going to quote Him from another topic , and copy and paste my answer for his question. all of my E3 hashing fine as of today Dec-08-2020 YES all my Antminer E3 from the first few batches are still working without any issues. Still works? Strange seems that there is conflicting info, a few days ago there were 2 people who claimed that their E3 stopped mining on the last DAG. I figured there would be tens of thousands of these units go offline and we should see a hashrate reduction. However looking at, https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrateLooks like the hashrate is about to hit a record high again. So obviously it doesn't seem they the E3 have died...yet Just wondering did you ever ROI on your E3? I was going to order one but the first batch sold out and the later batch was basically double the price. I am wondering if I ever would of ROI if I invested in the E3. Im sure all my E3 earned me way more money what i paid for those units . My electricity rate is 12cents from June to September , all other months is between 7-8 cents . Im Doing mining as a business ... I was lucky , ordered my E3 from the very first batches , if i remember right , in 2018 summer first batches was around 800$ each with shipping or something very close to that . Some gpu or mem went out on those blades , but still all of them hashing . I have those units in the past 25 months if i remember right ... Lets do a little math with 10 unit and average hashrate around 170MH/s... with 780 watts of power usage ... and current ETH price/difficulty calculation ... Total investment 10x800=8000$Total hashrate 10x170=1700MH/S Total power used for 25 months : 7,8KWH/hours , 187.2KWH/day , 5616KWH/months so 25x5616KWH for 25 months = 140400KWH ... 12cent/kwh power rate for 8 months :5616x8 = 44928KWH for summer months = 44928x0.12= 5391$ for 8 summer months power 8cent/kwh power rate for another 17 months : 5616x17 = 95472KWH for the remaining 17 months , = 95472x0.08 = 7637$ for 17 months power So for 25 months I paid 13028$ for power to run 10 Antminer E3 , that 10 miner provided me 1700MH/s hashing power . As of today , You can do a calculation with 0.0345 USD/Day for 1 MHash/s , so with today prices my 10x E3 still earning me 0.0345 USDx1700/day = 58.65$ minus power usage 187.2KWHx0.08cents=14.976$ so the total what im makin as of today with those 10 antminer E3 is still not that bad as of today , 12-10-2020 , 58.65$-14.976$= 43.67$/day profit after electricity If calculating back for the 25 months with today numbers , then this is how its look like : 43.67x30x25 the total money i made with my 10x E3 , if we do the math , then is 32755$ , I paid 8000$ for the 10 E3 25 months ago ,minus power usage, so the profit : 32755-13028-8000= 11727$ Profit for 25 months . Thats on paper with today difficulty , price ... BUT THERE IS A VERY IMPORTAT THING ABOUT MY MINING PROFIT !!! I NEVER SOLD THOSE HARD EARNED ETH'S. With today price/difficulty ... i can mine around 2.8-2.9 ETH / month But dont forget ... in 2019 when the difficulty was way lower , actually half what we have now , i was able to mine 5.5-6 ETH/months . Even on this summer i was able to mine around 4-4.5 ETH/monts . Difficulty jumped like crazy from the end of July ! I still have all those hard earned ETH's from the past 25 months, so the real profit, is way much higher what i calculated here for you... I hope i give you a very detailed answer |

My original topic I created on September 26, 2017, 12:36:37 PM, " WHY NEWBIES KEEP ASKING THE SAME QUESTION " ITS TO LATE TO START MINING ?" has been locked by a "Moderator" or "Administrator" of this forum after 6700 reading. Topics with the same questions over and over again are still unlocked and still all over on this forum, new ones with the same object showing up on daily basis !!! So i decided to create a Part No2 from my original topic I still think, feel, it should be a must read for every newbie who is wanting to jump into the mining or everyone who is interested to join into the mining "game" in 2019 !!! Im sure more newbies, new ppl going to join as soon as coin prices starting to go up a little bit, and everyone hoping he/she can be a lucky one, who can get rich without any work. so im just quoting myself from 2017 I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY NEWBIES KEEP ASKING THE SAME QUESTION " ITS TO LATE TO START MINING , IT IS STILL PROFITABLE ?

!!! SCAM ALERT !!!Another topic, posts on this forum inspired me to write a new topic about this amazing phone offered by Bitwings Im asking this company to please send a device for general testing to one of our forum member VoskCoin , who is capable to do a great reviews about new, before never heard hardware's. He is not always right but mostly he is doing a good job Sorry man, i just had to say it Im just quoting myself and others from that another topic : I've just found the following website: minephone_bitwings_org
Looks like they offer a mobile phone which is able to mine 2 ETH / month.
THIS IS PRETTY HARD TO BELIEVE, PROBABLY SCAM / MISINFOMATION.
Any thoughts?
To mine 2 ETH/ months you need at least 700MH/s hashing power as of today ( March-14-2019 ), that is 24x RX470 or 24x RX480 or 24x RX570 or 24x RX580 bios modded, fine tuned gpu or around 4x Antminer E3 the 24 gpu setup is going to use around 3000 watts/hours if its fine tuned ,the 4x Antminer E3 also will consuming around 3000 watts/hours So to answer to your question, what you posted, its not probably a scam, ITS DEFINITELY A SCAMAnd also make sure your computer have a right protection when you visiting that kind of scam sites bc there is a big chance, those kind of sites running a mining scripts on they website its mean you visited they site, and your computer going to mine for them without your knowledge You can read about how mining scripts are working from HERE, so you ( and everybody else ) can have better understanding ! Or are you the one who created that site with hidden mining scripts and trying to get more visitors ? so posted the link here make sure all the newbies going to click on it ? Right now, The oly thing i see is how Bitwings try to scam people i might wrong , but im a little bit skeptical Bitwings at this point offering ICO coins , and not much else, basically nothing else. Public Sale Stage 4 Start Date: 1 April, 2019 End Date : 15 April, 2019 They coins are not on any exchange at this point for some reason i cant see that "revolutionized mobile mining" They talking about "The first dedicated high security laptop " available in two versions: 15.6” & 14" Price range: ~$999 on bitwings website, they saying on they site is available but no link to buy it what a big marketing mistake  But many of us on this forum know about, where many of the ICO offers ended up in the past Im a little bit skeptical about ICO offerings what make me really skeptical, this company appetizing they new , never seen phone, as a brand new super secure phone with a ETH mining capacity of 1000MH/s so be ready for the big jump of ETH network hashrate So we dont need mining rigs anymore, we dont need ASICs anymore, we have a new 1000MH/s mining power on a phone, without any electricity usage !!! Its the end of the Hosting companies ... i guess Only 40000 phone available for pre order ! Hurry Up guys Im sure when ETH going from PoW (Proof of Work) to PoS (Proof of Stake) those phone going to mine 100's of ETH/ months  PS : I hope all this become reality one day... so we dont need to use Mega watts of power anymore to mine ETH , BTC, or any coins . we dont need mining rigs generating with lot of heat , we have to deal with, we dont need loud ETH ASIC's anymore ... just a phone with a 1000MH/s mining power ! Not even huge 15 kilos asics can do that and yet they think people will fall for a 200 grams miracle mobile. They are trying to scam people who have no idea how mining operates. Why buy for $170 a rx 580 which can do 30 mhs while you can buy a mobile that can generate hashrate of 33 x rx 580 ehhe, if they get one idiot, will pay out their ads and efforts to scam people. Scams like this will always exist because there are too many idiots out there.
Here is one of those people Should we help him ? Give him some advice / Some basic information? or should we just let him order 100 of those phones so he can have 100000MH/s hashing power on ETH , then he will be back crying for his money, a few months later after he paid for those phones with coins, what not even registered on any exchange:) So you not mining ETH anymore ? You generating ETH in a wallet ? That's something new, just not really clear for me then why "Bitwings" talking about mining you can mine 2ETH/months, and you can have 1000MH/s hashpower ... with a phone ... without using any kind of extra electricity ... Oh and if you doing a little math, or just using any online calculator, you can find out, with current difficulty, 1000MH/s hashing power, actually you can mine 2.7 ETH/months So those phones are amazing deals, get 100 minimum ! No electricity to pay for, no warehouse , hosting facility need it to host all your phones ... amazing !!! Just saying

Just wondering what happened with this super efficiency miners Innosilicon announced the new miners last summer ( sometimes around July-2018 ) I did not heard much official words about this miners after the announcement, there is no information on they website at all , or i just cant see it But .. few mining hardware supplier selling them on they website for over 5000$ :-) So all those sites are scam sites ?  |

Anyone else have this issue ? started last night from no where. Just checked my miner stat this morning on ethermine.org ( connected to us1.ethermine.org ) , i saw my stale share rate is up like crazy , actually is 25-30 times more than it used to be in past months. Everything looks ok with the modem , switches , router, firewall, just in case i rebooted the whole system, let see whats happening from now.  |

I had nothing else to do last night , so played with some numbers
As of 11/18/2018 Just for fun ... see the difference ... see what difference one day can cause in the mining world

Original Post : October 5 - 2018 - Mining ETH profitable, the example rig making around 80$/monthsUpdated on December 3 - 2018 - Mining ETH still profitable, but profit is actually 1/4 what it was 2 months ago , the example rig making around 20$/monthsUpdated December 12 - 2018 - ETH Mining is not profitable for me anymore with the electrical rate of 0.097$/KWh, im losing around 10$/months with that rig i used for example - but .. still all my rigs are online and mining ( ETH/USD exchange rate is 1ETH=82$ ) Updated on March 31 - 2019 - Mining ETH is profitable for me, but profit is actually 1/2 what it was 6 months ago (October 5 - 2018), but 50% more what is was 5 months ago (November 3 - 2018), and im making 48$/months more, compared to what was my earning 4 months ago (December 12 - 2018) with the example rig i used for this calculation, i can make around 38$/months right now I placed my numbers into the same online calculator, what i used in the past months, to make more easy for newbies to understand my topic, all my calculations.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND : None of those calculators you are seeing on the web can tell you what's coming tomorrow , months later or 6 months later !
Those calculators telling you about today , at that moment when you typing in your information !
None of those online calculators can predict what would be the coin/$ exchanges rates a minutes later, a hour later, tomorrow, next week, months later, 6 months later or a year later !Original Topic from here Read a few topics in the past few weeks, so i decided to write a comment to one of those " People are stupid bc they still mining kida topics ... I think my comment worth a new topic , bc I'm sure i'm not the only one who is still mining with profit, of course with much less profit than last year December If you jumped into mining this year , this topic definitely not for you, because you probably not even close to your ROI ETH is NOT PROFITABLE AT THE MOMENT, but still has 248.000 gh/s of total network hashrate at the moment.
Are people stupid or what???
Lets put numbers to the question.
NO IM NOT STUPID , AND LETS MAKE SOME PROVE WITH MY NUMBERSIn my case its still worth mining, as all of the money i invested into mining rigs are back to my packet already.
Im not one of those guys who jumped into mining when bitcoin price hit 20000$ and wanted to get rich within a few months.I always warned new members, members who opened topics like : "ITS TO LATE TO START MINING , IT IS STILL PROFITABLE ? WHY MY EARNING IS LESS THAN ALL THOSE ONLINE CALCULATORS TELLING ME? WHAT IS THE BEST COIN TO MINE ? WHAT IS THE MOST PROFITABLE COIN TO MINE" mining is a risky investment and no one can tell you whats coming tomorrow. After last year BTC and all other crypto coin price jump, ppl just started buying gpus like kids taking chocolate from the grocery shop shelves You can read my "warning or i would say advice topic " here Let see a example why its still worth mining for me :I'm the only one on this forum who can say its still worth mining?ETH11 as you can see on the attached picture hashing with 375MH/s , pulling 1590watts at the wall, im paying 0.097$/kWh after pool fees ,miner fees, power bill im still making around 80$ extra a months with current eth/usd exchange rate. ( as of today October 5 / 2018 ) So its worth mining for me ? Definitely YES !If ETH11 will generating only 20$ / months its still worth mining for me ? Definitely YES !Why im saying YES ?Because my rigs are paid out already, and if i can have 20$ extra a months for nothing, im still happy, but i have way more than 1 mining rig, so thats going to be multiple times 20$ a months. With current price its still multiple times 80$ a months, or multiple times 40$ a months with a smaller builts ( 6-7-8 cards per rigs ) Miner reported hashrate: Pool side reported hashrate :( yes with the right bios mod , with the right undervolting/overclocking your miner reported hashrate should be the same as a pool side reported average hashrate. if its not the same, you definitely have some issues  Power Draw:
( measured with cyberpower PDU81007 Switched Metered-by-Outlet PDU ) To a much easier understanding I placed all of my information into one online calculator ,dont forget online calculators are not always 100% accurate .
AS OF OCTOBER 5th - 2018  2 months gone , lot of things changed in the past 60 days.So placed my numbers into the same online calculator, what i used 2 months ago, to make more easy for newbies to understand my topic. PLEASE UNDERSTAND : None of those calculators you are seeing on the web can tell you what's coming tomorrow , months later or 6 months later !
Those calculators telling you about today , at that moment when you typing in your information !
None of those online calculators can predict what would be the coin/$ exchanges rates a minutes later, a hour later, tomorrow, next week, months later, 6 months later or a year later !For me it is still profitable to mine ETH , but the profit is actually 1/4 what it was 2 months ago, with the same mining rig, power rate/pools-miner fee. The only reason is why i still can make a few extra dollars, bc my rigs already generated that money what i paid for them, so from there i only make profit ! doesnt matter if its 5-10$/rigs ,or 70-80$/rigs / months, its called profit So compare the numbers from October 5th post with the December 3rd updated numbers AS OF DECEMBER 3rd - 2018 AS OF MARCH 31 - 20196 months gone after my original postOn March 31 - 2019 - Mining ETH is profitable for me, but profit is actually 1/2 what it was 6 months ago (October 5 - 2018), but 50% more what is was 5 months ago (November 3 - 2018), and im making 48$/months more, compared to what was my earning 4 months ago (December 12 - 2018) with the example rig i used for this calculation, i can make around 38$/months right now

Bitcoin Cash Network Highly Centralized, 49% of all Nodes Run on Alibaba’s Facilities: BitpicoWeeks after announcing they would be launching an attack on the network of Bitcoin Cash, hacker group Bitpico has disclosed that the altcoin suffers from massive node centralization. However, the claims by Bitpico did not go unchallenged with some users posting conflicting statistics. According to bchnodes.online, for instance, Bitcoin Cash nodes are currently active in 48 countries spread around the world. The highest concentration of nodes is in the United States where approximately 28.26% of the nodes are located followed by China with 22.54% of the nodes. Germany comes in third with 10.95% of the nodes.

yes if you did not know yet, and you have a Antminer x3, its maybe time to redirect back to ETH mining Network difficulty jumped already from 22,843,211,141 to 125,388,752,124 of course more ppl using they x3 , less money you going to make From ETN developers:"ASICS are becoming more prevalent, they cost considerably less to run than a GPU rig and use a fraction of the electricity. We are going to encourage more ASIC ownership and take our hashing rate up to (and beyond) the enormous levels of hashing power that we had before the May fork. There is a further development. The first generation of hardware called an FPGA miner is arriving during 2018 and they make ANTI-ASIC capabilities a thing of the past, as they circumvent the slow delivery time of new ASICs by being re-programmable. If we are ready to embrace these rather than fight them, our network hashing power is increased further and our network stability and security is further enhanced. Because ASICS run cooler, quieter and use a fraction of GPU rig power, they are suitable for MORE people to run in their homes. If you are interested, a search of “Cryptonight ASIC miner” in Google or Ebay will find the equipment needed to mine Electroneum. You will need to be reasonably technical to achieve this! Having a stable network is absolutely key to both delivering mass adoption and to ensure we have a great relationship with the great exchanges that we’re already listed with, and to encourage more of the larger exchanges to see Electroneum as a coin that they want on board. How will I mine Electroneum after this update?If you are a mobile miner – nothing changes. If you are a GPU or ASIC miner then you’ll need to connect to an Electroneum pool but it is important to note that you will need to change your ALGORITHM. You MUST use the algorithm “Cryptonight” and NOT “Electroneum” or “CryptonightV7”. " |

Read before you vote This is not a proposal, just an opinion poll In August of this year (2017), Vitalik Buterin, creator of Ethereum, released the implementation guide for the first version of Casper. As a hybrid proof-of-stake (PoS)/proof-of-work (PoW) algorithm, Casper v1 is going to decrease (and eventually end) the profitability for Ethereum miners. The release date is estimated to be sometime in 2018 as part of the Constantinople hard fork and there’s a lot to learn before this happens: More Info HEREIf you vote "YES , save GPU mining" , you need to know ETH going to be a PoS coin sooner or later, that eventually end the profitability for Ethereum mining If you vote "NO , Lets ASICs take over" , you need to know ETH going to be a PoS coin sooner or later, that going to make ETH ASIC obsceletes anyway. So for GPU miners is a catch-22 |

GPU's are getting cheaper now, but looks like Gamers can't buy all the cards , and miners don't want those cards anymore Check out the newegg promo storeI think the "The cryptocurrency craze" is over now, till the coins price stays low for sure |

Around this days (2018-March) I see a lot of unhappy members here on bitcointalk, lot of them complaining about they reduced profit. I think mining is still profitable , of course its depend on a lot of factors: - When you started mining and bought your mining rigs ( gpu/asic ) ? - Did you already get back the money you invested ? - How much are you paying for electricity included all taxes ? Yes any 1080 can be profitable today even if you are making 1$ profit only/day/card and you got your ROI already. If you bought your 1080 in 2017 November/December or this year then you are in the different situation You still making money, but your ROI is waaaay much longer, and it will take some time to generating real profit for yourself.... But if you done a deep research about mining, you should know by the time you decided to start buying rigs/asics, mining has it's ups and downs. Its a risky investment and you should INVEST ONLY WHAT YOU'RE WILLING AND ABLE TO LOSE ! ! INVEST WITH THE UNDERSTANDING , THAT YOU COULD LOSE A LOT ! IN THIS POLL YOU CAN MAKE TWO VOTES PER USER ONE ABOUT PROFITABILITY AND ONE ABOUT WHEN YOU JOINED INTO YOUR MINING ADVENTURES |
