Recently, I found an interesting article about coronovirus coin, https://cryptogeek.info/en/blog/coronacoin-price-is-human-lives, what do you think? Is it a joke or a really hype thing?

Maybe with a probably new lock down and re-increasing of COVID deads this coin will come back, ore will born new coins. The way how coins were burned was disgusting but was only a way for give a random burning to the project

We should stop talking or discussing about these coins created to hype CoVid next year things will be back to normal and these hype coins named after the visrus CoVid will be gone forever and we will only remember these coins from how they scam people so don;t be part of those people who got scammed.

Thats right. Remember all the coins and tokens named after famous people. LOL. Where are those coins/tokens now, Nobody cares about them. Whoever buys into these WILL get burned and lose all their money that they bought for. The only thing to do is to not buy and/or mine these coins.

Probably not a good plan after a massive runup. Wait as long as you can, you need to perhaps wait for as long as a year or longer. If the coronavirus hits harder and a second wave comes in hard this fall and winter, both the stockmarket and cryptoprices might see another tumble like we saw in March.
63  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: New NVIDIA Geforce RTX 30 series GPUs on: September 09, 2020, 09:27:00 PM
other games, if you google can consume 7-9gb vram, that's 2017-2019. upcoming new games can easily double that, so 16gb is the sweet spot for gpu graphics.

I have a feeling that is exactly what nvidia is trying to do. I mean most people dont plan to upgrade from their gtx 1080ti because it has 11gb and if they have a 1440 or a 4k monitor, can still even play many games at 4k with that amount of gddr, 10GB for a 3080 this time and age is low, I say that 16gb is minimum for a card like that, even if it was a 12gb would be doable. It's funny, the 3090 24gb x 10gb 3080, nvidia really want people to buy the 3090. Nvidia simply killed the 3080 even before launching it, dead on arrival.

3080 maybe good for mining if gddr6x proves it can hash a significant amount better than gddr6, gddr5x, and gddr5. we'll see..

besides there are gamers that can still push up to $ 700  for GPU budget but not for a $ 1500 one. If results shows it is better than 3070 where an extra $100 can justify the upgrade.

then the 3070ti with 16gb of gddr6 will be an upgrade because it can play games that requires more than 10gb so 3070 users will upgrade to 3070ti and 3080 users with 10gb will upgrade to 3080ti with 16gb.

I think 8nm of 3000 series cards will be a long life span generation before the next big breakthrough will come. where nvidia decides to pull off this "8-10gb to be upgraded to 16gb" double sell technique LOL.

anyway if you bought 3080 10gb ($700) and upgrade to 3080ti 16gb ($800) that's, $1500 all in all purchase..just like 3090 price.....me? fuck that shit spare me the trouble I'm getting the 3090 24gb for my main PC hehe

some will say why not wait for the 3080ti then? well..mining profit of 50% ROI (modest estimate) will make your $1500 purchase equal to a $750 card LOL.

I believe it's a given that the new 3000 series from Nvidia will be good (and better than the 2000 series), as it comes on a smaller and newer node compared to the older cards. As for AMD, it seems they will give a huge improvement for the Ethereum miners when big Navi comes out later this year.

People take advantage of the current pandemic as a means to create a new coin out of it. The current situation is not a joke and some people are taking advantage of it to earn money.

I've seen this before and it's a blatant abuse of other people's misery and death. That someone wants to make money from this is heartbreaking to say the least. I'd say please avoid this if you can, don't make a few profits from the misery of so many affected from this nasty virus.
65  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New coin for coronavirus on: September 08, 2020, 08:45:55 AM
With the spread of the Coronavirus around the world, it is likely that the coin will not show high prospects in the future because the existence of this virus in the real world makes the economy very low and one is not even interested in trying to invest with this coin.

Yes, I believe so too, these are "in the moment" coins and tokens that fade and get abandoned in a heartbeat when public opinion is no longer focusing on the event or person. This in turn renders the coin/token worthless and leaving whoever bought into the hype holding the bag saddeled with huge losses.

Tried to get some RX5700 but they told me they are EOL. Is that true for non TX models?

So what, Ebay is full of them. What seems to be the problem, do you really need to get them brand new, simply buy them used on Ebay or other used goods sites. Now that the Nvidia 3000 series specs were released, prices for older AMD and Nvidia gpu's should come down in price also...

Solo mining Ethereum isn't for everyone to say the least. If you only have say 6 gpu's or less i'd say don't even bother, you would be wasting your hashpower, as it would take an enormous amount of time to find even a single block, you might even never find one. Try pool mining instead, you'll get you fair share of what you hash.

It is actually sad that people can joke about things like this pandemic.... no matter if it is just a hoax or a joke.. it is still not funny. There are millions of deaths and people who have lost their loved ones... so you do not joke around with things like this.

It would be better if they created a coin in honor of the people who lost their lives and if they could link that to some kind of charity that could help with the people who lost their jobs and the families who lost the breadwinners.  Sad

People are not ready for anything in their thirst for money. I'm not surprised at all. Scammers are ready to do anything to earn money. They will organize charitable foundations and other things that can soften ordinary people.

If we all avoid these blatant get rich quick scams, they will disappear quickly and never come back any time soon. Whoever mines and/or trades coins and tokens like these only hurts crypto in general and makes the whole scene look shitty. We the users can decide what coins/tokens make it or not.

This thread should be closed as the question has been debunked and it's clear to all of us that Bitcoin will never replace gold, not now and not in the future. Personally I think it's a pointless question and is kind of like asking if cheese can ever replace bread. Please close this thread whoever started it.
71  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RTX 3070 should offer RTX 2080 Ti level performance for $599 = Game changer? on: September 05, 2020, 07:09:07 AM
Won't be a game changer for mining.  A lot of the improvements (and cost) are due to the tensor and ray tracing cores.  

The cost was paid in the RTX2000 series with a big price jump over GTX1000. RTX3000 has no price increase but double
the cuda cores. But I agree, other than the massive core count increase, there are no new features that help miners.

Well I was not an idiot, I knew the rtx 2xxx series would be a failure, so I have not bought any and I don't regret a bit. The only drawback about the 3080 is the lack of more memory which 10gb for me is not enough in 2 or 3 years down the line. You see with the ps5 and the new xbox, games will definitely use a lot more video memory, 4k, 8k, hdr, 10gb is bullshit from nvidia, 3080 dead on arrival hehe but I still think on buying it, yeah will likely buy a dead card hehe

If the most recent salescharts I've seen the 2000 series have been a somewhat disappointment from Nvidias viewpoint. Guess most people didn't buy into the raytracing hype as it was too weak in its first iteration. Guessing this new 3000 series will generate better sales for Nvidia going forward.

The 3070ti will have to be a hell of a card, i mean, the 3070 is a disappointment and maybe that is what nvidia intended to do, 3070 raw performance is way behind the 3080, so much so that I think the 3070 is somehow a 3060 super because of the 256bit memory hehe, nvidia launched an early 3060 super hehe and that is the 3070 ehhe, the 3070ti might be the real 3070, looking back 2016, there was a gtx 1070 256 bit and the 1080 256 bit too, 1070 was clearly the only gpu to have, nvidia killed the 1080 on arrival, now they've chosen to kill the 3070 on arrival too hehe, if wasn't for the 320 bit memory and amazing raw performance of the 3080, that would be dead of arrival too, can still use it for a year or 2, depending the games you play and the monitor you have, I myself have a 4k monitor and I just can't go back to 1440p anymore.

Nvidia chose the 8nm because they went previously 12nm, so 16nm, 12nm, 8nm and likely 4nm next and also chose samsung because of favours between friends hehe, tsmc is more inclined to amd.

There is no point waiting for the 3080ti and if it comes will be next year march~august, around that and that is too far away, amd can have a 5nm ampere killer by then. AMD is not like before, we still have to see this bignavi but amd changed, they are different, they could this time still lag behind nvidia but they are getting closer to nvidia on every release. The 5700 was amazing, I did not think they could compete equally with 12nm 2070 on price performance and they did. So i'm not counting AMD out at this time.

just like in the past nvidia is competing with itself, a sign that amd might be again under nvidia.

I agree with not counting out AMD, the fury with HBM vrams did really well, the radeon vii did very well too (100mh ETH hash) (BTW cores are the bottleneck LOL)...if big navi uses HBM (new generation) tech it really can compete but if they use gddr6..well nvidia wins again.

amd in "gpu arena" did a thread ripper fuck up style with early HBM adaptions...we will see if they can pull a ryzen 9 39xx thing with big navi GPUs..(watching HBM tech closely)


Those benchs looks very close to what I predicted, 3090 around 20% faster than 3080, and 3080 50% faster than 3070.

I predicted that x2 hashrate of 100mhs as a possibility, people are so 2017 with 50mhs per card LOL. also I predicted up to 150mhs as unlikely but not impossible, driver optimizations and mining software tweaks might squeeze more hashes.

It all comes down to price to performance. If the price can come down going forward, the older cards will get uncompetitive. Nvidias competition with AMD and possibly Intel will be key in the years and future gpu iterations. Another thing is that a 5700 or a 2080ti will be shit five years from now.

Why are there even popping up threads like this after a huge rally from 100 dollars to 400 dollars. Something tells me this individual simply wants more people to buy/pump Ethereum so he can make more on he's own investment. What do you guys think, is this just smoke and mirrors???

How profitable is mining this Grin coin now? It seems to me that the excitement around Grin has slept a little in the last half year.

Since you are able to respond to this thread, it seems you have an internet connection. If you use google you can look up whattomine or one of the other mining profit calculator and calculate how much profit after electric cost you would make. On a personal note I would mine something else than Grin.

Everytime when I see a coin/token that use name of some hot topic, I am very cautious because you should realize that corona is a temporary problem, but we are looking for long term investment, right?
They are just taking advantage of the epidemic to create bullshit projects and take money from investors. Such projects can never make the situation better, even vaccines are not yet available for everyone to use. Stay away from these projects for safety

I believe that they are just using the name because it is now a house hold name to make shit project. It is just a hype to get people to invest . Covid-19 is taking life's and people are busy making money from others.
It's so bad they create such projects to scam investors in this market. And I hope no one will invest in them because it's all bullshit, cryptocurrencies can't control this pandemic and so never invest in those bullshit projects.

99+ percent of all cryptocurrencies so far have been get rich quick scams that has made a few scammers money, while whoever got scammed lost money. They make coins after all events, presidents, well known people and so on. The remarkable thing is that someone buys these scams. LOL!!
76  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New coin for coronavirus on: September 03, 2020, 10:07:15 PM
I really don't like this coin
coronavirus is bringing loss to the whole world, and a lot of bad guys are taking advantage of this to make a profit, if this coin is released I hope it will fail.

Seems like some guys will do whatever it takes to try to make some money, what they do is hype something that is all over the news and that most people have heard about and make a coin to milk the public. I've seen this again and again over the years, quite despicable if you ask me.
77  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Im planning to invest in Ethereum. Is this a good plan? on: September 03, 2020, 06:53:47 PM
Perhaps investing in the new Nvidia 3000 series gpu's for mining would be a better bet than investing in buying and holding ETH itself. The 3070 and 3080 will be coming out with a much lower pricetag than most people were expecting. The 3080 will be on par with a 2080ti, at least according to Nvidia presentation.
but mining is still not hot now, remember that Ethereum will become a POS,
so mining is not required, because you can stake to get passive income

There are lots of other mining coins out there, and Ethereum has not been turned over to POS yet and may perhaps be dalayed further for all I know. If and when Ethereum turns to POS, one can take a look at "Whattomine" to get a glimpse of what would be profitable to mine. Just saying.

I hope they will be on sale soon in stores, this way the prices of the 5700 will be lowered a lot. AMD WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER FOR MINING

That will depend on what coin you want to mine. AMD is more efficient on some algos, while Nvidia gpu's are more efficient on other algos. I've already seen a lot of mining hardware come down in price on Ebay and other sites. Right now you can buy a used 2080ti for around 500 dollars, that is a lot lower than just recently.
80  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: New NVIDIA Geforce RTX 30 series GPUs on: September 02, 2020, 09:20:54 PM
The 3080 seems reasonably priced for the performance. All who sold their 2080 in the last few months have made the right call, now the 2080 just lost a lot of value. I'm talking gaming performance here, for mining we shall wait for some tests/optimizations.

These prices also make me think that nvidia expects a strong showing from AMD so that's a good thing, too.

Yes, I believe so as well, there was talk from AMD of the Nvidia killer, so perhaps Nvidia is gearing up with top performance from the 3000 series to meet the threat from Big Navi. Will be exiting to see AMD's answer to this surprising big move in performance from the 3080. Competition is great.
