I am trying to run a five plug Zeusminer that supposedly will blow fuses.  I have
wired in fuses before behind the circuit breaker.  Do those come in different amounts
that are better for outlets that have higher powered draws on them?  The guy I bought
the Zeusminer said that it wouldn't run on 110 volts but obviously he had it set up on
regular 3 prong plugs, not the 220 plugs used for washing machines, etc. 

Anyone know with an Zeusminer ASIC if you can use 6 pin GPU PSU cables into the PCIe 8 pin female plus in the Zeusminer?   Also, for this
miner to work, do all the blades need to be plugged in?

Can a marketcap go down while the coin price actually go up?   

I am looking at Ripple and it has a huge market cap, but wondering if the marketcap went down in the future,
would the coin price necessarily follow it down. 

Is a ZeusMiner Scrypt ASIC miner still somewhat efficient?   Seems like having so many PCIe slots for such a low
hash rate seems questionable.  I am not looking at extreme profit but don't want to feed it a lot of energy at a loss.
Say I am mining today with decent electricity cost based on LTC going up 2x in the near future.

I've noticed that often in the Altcoin discussion here there isn't a lot of technical discussions of the coins, which is very important.
Maybe we need another subdivision? 

Bitcoin Section has "Development & Technical Discussion."

Thought it would be good to get another thread on this current situation with Synereo, who are having some disputes about the nature of their technology and its readiness.  The problem seems to be that RChain is currently not usable.  Not sure if this is rushing the timeline, or even why something like Ethereum would not work.  What would Rchain have that Ethereum does not?

What are the older altcoins that have a dev team that clearly want to see something happen?
I would vote for Digibyte.  They are very active, constantly doing things on Twitter, and just opened a new mining pool.

I asked this question quietly at the end of an old thread somewhere but didn't get an answer.  I'll offer a bounty of 20 PascalCoins and a Pascal Account, which is a newer coin with some unique features.  Perhaps people don't want to embarrass themselves by answering this question.  I have a bunch of gridseed orbs I want to mine some different sha256 coins with and they will not go into Sha256 speed.  They are stuck in scypt hashing rates.  I have seen at least one of them go into Sha256 mode before.  I also mine with antminers so I know these things are almost a waste of time, but it's fun for me to play around with different miners.  I am using cgminer.

Here is an example batch file:

cgminer -o stratum+tcp://peercoin.ecoining.com:3336 -u name.user2 -p x --gridseed-options=baud=115200,freq=800,chips=5 --hotplug 5

What are the best game/gaming related coins?

Looking at Gamecoin which keeps increasing in value. 

The mods should take a look at the kano.is pool thread.  There is a guy who is trolling the thread which is about a pool.  The thread moderator Kano keeps deleting what he is saying but he keeps coming back in.  Obviously, Kano is a valuable person here having contributor valuable historic software and runs a great pool.  This other person has negative trust and is being abusive.

Is it on all pools that when we don't mine our balances go down?  Is that because of the hashing power to find a block begins to accelerate past the previous contribution you made, and so that contribution dwindles in value? 

I think this seems to be the problem with most altcoins.  None of the people want to follow the example of Bitcoin.
I guess they don't want to fathom that right now it would take 10,000 of them to buy a pizza.  

No one on the Poloniex trollbox could answer this question, probably because not a lot of miners at the time.  I have been mining LTC on a pool and deposited some to my address, it shows in my wallet, and now I want to buy another coin on Poloniex.  I go to https://poloniex.com/balances and try to deposit/withdraw but it doesn't work.  There has to be some other place where I can tell Poloniex my LTC address and authorize it to withdraw.   I guess I need to give it a private key, but I don't see this interface.

I am in need of a small loan because I am on my 9th ASIC purchase in less than two months.

You could just use one of the BTC to Paypal payment processors and buy straight from me on eBay:

I have the same account with 100% feedback going back to 1998.  

Or, you could give me your offer in a PM.

Check my posting history here to see I'm always positive and supportive.

I am talking like $25 in BTC as the ASICs I've been buying are not very expensive.  The paramind account eBay
purchases would just to help out another miner.  

Why do you think good altcoins fail to keep going?   It seems there are some that are good and people collectively have put in tens of thousands of hours supporting, but the team decides to give up midway.

I'm not a fan of gambling by itself, but instead as a way of studying and learning about other things.  For instance, I'm sure that if elderly people kept playing card games, it would help keep their minds alert.  Studying poker involves studying human nature and probabilities.   There are other aspects like studying risk in gambling, which is like studying risk in investing. 

Does anyone have any examples of how gambling is like investing?

I just noticed at my pool I'm getting 923.18 Gh/s from my Antminer S3 and S1.  I got them used
and I don't know about any overclocking settings on them.  The Gh/s should be around 575 to 700. 
I'm using Eliguis for the pool. 

I just mentioned this in another thread but I don't think many people will see it so I'm posting it here.

I just saw an "authorize Coinbase" login prompt like the way you authorize FB or Google to log you in other sites.  That's kind of scary giving another site access to your Coinbase account.  Does that mean that this gives one step towards a vulnerability if they get hacked? 

Not sure about this.  Not getting an answer I'm looking for so I offered a bounty.  Is that ok?

What is the most profitable coin to mine today with an Antminer S1/S3?  There seems to be a large price division between an Antminer S1/S3 and the next rung up.  This of course could apply to similar age technology of other brands.

As someone said in another post, miners should come together make sure mining stays profitable for
(mid-size individual) miners (that seemed to be his gist).  Seems BTC was created from the ground up
like this, and many other coins have been very profitable as well, does it seem within possibility that
mining could always be profitable for early adopters, infrastructure creators, marketplace builders and so on?
