And still, they can't just arbitrarily increase the supply without people jumping off. Centralization is not just about who owns most coins, but also who owns most mining power...obviously you didn''t even care to read his link |

i would choose neo rather that ripple..ripple is not an alts anymore, it is controlled by banks  Its NOT controlled by banks...bank have to buy is to own it...but what prevent banks from buying BTC? Start using brain and logic I see generally 2 incomparable projects, these both coins are from portfolio,but future of NEO seems more clear than Ripple. сhinese NEO has a big chances to move Ethereum and devide the smart contract market. I guess it would be clearer this year. ABout ripple - I still don't understand , why it gained in the price so much , but in the case with Ripple there is high risk to lose this value as fast as it was gained. yes, transaction are fast, when i transfered from githab to bittrex it took 20 second  really impressive, but future is misty. Please, try to read whole thread before stating wrong facts. Ripple already has smart contracts, too, and they stated their intent to competen in that area, too See, you can even dlownload code and be the first guy making ICO on their network: https://github.com/codius/codius/wiki/Smart-Oracles:-A-Simple,-Powerful-Approach-to-Smart-Contracts#contract-apis |

The big danger with Ripple is how much the developers own of it. See https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/16/why-ripple-is-not-cashing-out-its-xrp-holdings.htmlRipple owns about 60 billion of the 100 billion XRP created, giving it a market value -- based just on its holdings -- of close to $80 billion.
The company's revenue is unknown, although CEO Brad Garlinghouse told CNBC that some banks are paying the company millions of dollars for its software. Regardless, $80 billion is far ahead of where any reasonable investor would value the company.
Ripple has placed limitations on how much XRP it can sell each month to remove the concern that it will suddenly flood the market with tokens. The company placed 55 billion of its XRP in a "cryptographically-secured" escrow account and can release up to 1 billion every month. Ripple has never come close to selling that amount in a month and said in December that it's averaged selling 300 million XRP a month since mid-2016.
By selling a tiny fraction of its holdings each month, the company brought in over $90 million in the first three quarters of 2017. So Ripple is slowly selling it's stash - and they probably took advantage of the recent pump to offload some more. Its a blockchain...with blockchain explorer...any mildly educated man could go and check for himself, instead saying "probably" |

I'm Dual mining Ethereum + Decred. I still think it's OK to do it, as long as your Ethereum hashrate i not dropping and the power usage does not go up (which is with me both not the case).
Of course your power usage will go up, thats unquestionable |

I would go to NEO.. Ripple is controlled by banks..Ripple price is manipulated by banks so ripple is not an altcoin anymore  Thats dumb...every coin out there can be manipulated if you have enough money, and lower your market cap, easier you can get manupulated Theres high chance we'll see smart contracts on Ripple soon, too https://www.xrpchat.com/topic/11611-codius-is-back/https://codius.org/ |

Got my card, 2 days later got letter saying EU cards are invalid, today got refund
for BTC I paid to get card, but only half because I have to pay txn fee...I guess
I'm lucky I didn't have to pay more fee than I paid for card, and go into red, lol

How is lyra2v2 performance compared to mkxminer?

When something crashes hard, that often means big players are interested enough to crash it so they could buy more cheaply and profit even more...think about it next time when you buy something for $3 and panic sell at $1  |

Unfortunately Sia team has made it very hard to acquire and store SIA coin. No SIA wallet No third party wallet and only a few exchanges most of which have suspended new subscriptions from being created. How so many companies are developing miners for this coin is beyond my understanding since the infrastructure is still mostly unsupported for trading/purchasing purposes.
What are you talking about? Sia wallet: https://sia.tech/apps/How to use it: https://www.cryptocompare.com/wallets/guides/how-to-use-the-sia-coin-wallet-sia-ui/They have enough markets: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/siacoin/#marketsNot the best, but I hear they're working on been added to new ones They have some network/wallet issues, but if you look at bittrex and poloniex, many coins have problems too. I'm inclined to think those are "problems", not problems |

Thank you guys, I decided to give it a shot... and it seems that with the "lifting" to the timings and a boost to the mem freq the results are much better than the stock bios even for Elpida model.
I'm getting about 390h/s @1875MHz but I'm testing the stability since already @1900 I'm getting BSODs in a bunch of seconds.
Don't you know if it is recommended to increase the mem voltage to try to work @2000MHz? Because at stock voltage (1000mV) I think it will be hard for this card to go beyond 1875MHz.
I would also consider to decrease a bit the GPU frequency and voltage not to stress the card but I don't know if it will worth.
I didn't play with cryptonight too much lately...but I think memory frequency is less important than core frequency for this algo...or, at least, much more important than for ethash |

A noob looking for a little guidance if you could.
I picked up the ASUS Rx 560 OC Edition and threw it into an old spare PC with intention of learning more about mining and figured it was relatively cheap so if it doesn't work out or I fry the card I am not out too much money. I am using Claymores dual miner and the August edition of the AMD mining drivers on windows 10. Two things that are happening.
1) I run Claymores script and the card spins up to 90°c with the fans at 100% before shutting down about a minute later. I moved the rig to the garage as it's around 0°c and I added an intake case fan blowing directly at it. Card is still averaging 86°c while the interior of the case is hovering around 10°c. This does not seem right and my guess will burn the card out pretty quickly.
2) Daily average from ethermine.org is around 7MH/s which is about half of what is reported heere on this thread.
So does anyone have any tips, tricks or a stable BIOS update that would help either of these issues (perferrably both)? Also given my noobness what are straps and strat referring to? I am sure there are more questions I will need to ask but baby steps.
if I get this figured out then I will start to ramp up with a number of cards and an open air rig.
Thanks for any help you can give.

It seems like rx560 is quite good in performing cryptonote algorithm compared to other gpu with same pricing range.
I think the RX 550 is also quite good in performing XMR ... more than 400 h/s with less power consumption compared to the RX 560. Are you sure you can get more that 400h/s on 550? It seems it's also difficult for 560 to hit 400h/s. For a 550 it looks like a miracle. It works since 4 weeks without problems at my home. The RX550 is the perfect gpu for mining xmr, because cryptonight charges the memory and 8 gpu cores are enough for the rest. The bottleneck is the memory. What brand is your rx 550? Saphire Pulse Radeon RX550 4GB Micron Memory Hi R0land, I bought one of this to test 11268-03-20G (Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX550 2GB) Unfortunately it came with Elpida memory: max hash 290-300 on CryptoNight with sgminer 5.5.5-gm stock bios Do you know if it worth to mod bios with Elpida mem? I don't know how to have RX 550 cards with Micron mem. It seems they are random... |

Saphir Nitro + RX580 8G Micron 31.4 Mh/s in HiveOS.
Saphir Nitro + RX580 8G Hynix 30.7 Mh/s in HiveOS.
Saphir Nitro + RX580 8G Samsung 30.5 Mh/s in HiveOS.
On Windows you have to add ~0,5 Mh/s on my result.
all around 100W. Try different timing from Uber Mix on Samsung and no chance at all.
It looks like new Samsung on RX 580 are not the best anymore.
I tried micron, elpida and hynix and micron worked the best for me...don't have card with samsung, so I took the word from internet about it performing well |

Hmm... I picked up an XfX RX 560 from Best Buy this weekend mainly because it was the only halfway decent card in stock, but reading through this thread it seems it may not have been such a bad impulse buy.
Are there any good straps specifically for Cryptonight, or are they mainly geared towards Ethash? I know there is some overlap in the requirements between the two, but Cryptonight generally likes more core clock than Ethash.
How about just doing the one-click optimization in Polaris BIOS Editor?
Can't harm, for the most part, except if you got one of new cards that have 1500 strap as the last one, instead usual 2000 or 2250 |

Hello everybody. I have a Sapphire RX 580 4Gb, with modded BIOS (including memory timings) and overclocked until instability (1050/2020). It run under windows 10 with mining drivers, and Im having arround 25,5 Mh/s. I tried a lot of things trying to reach the "oficial" 30Mh/s that these cards are supposed to make. I even change my card for another one, but the hashes remain the same. After reading the experiences of several people with my same card and same hashes, i realized that 25 Mh/s are pretty OK for this card.
Now im thinking about building a dedicated mining rig with six Sapphire RX 580, and i wonder if the 8Gb version will reach more easily these "oficial" 30Mh/s
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Higher hashrate depends on the memory manufacturer. Samsung best of all, Hynix/Elpida worse, Micron very bad. A good memory can keep the frequency of 2100+ which has a positive impact on hashrate. When choosing a card should be based on the memory manufacturer. This is not a guarantee of high hashrate, but as close as possible to him. micron is not "very bad" but up there with samsung, the best Higher is always better. Also not to forget that DAG size will continue to increase which means 4GB cards will not be able to mine ethereum after a certain period, for memory I heard Hynix is the most common and average performer.
Yes, sadly 4GB will stop hashing ETH in april, 2021...but somehow, I think both 4 and 8GB versions will be obsolete by then, anyway |

better 8gb gpu for difficulty increasing
8GB has nothing with difficulty, but DAG size...and 4GB will be enough for 3 more years (up until 24/APR/2021), by then all today cards will be obsolete, both 4 and 8GB versions |

Only for noobs that don't switch workload from graphics to compute
For all the knowledge you have, you should act more civilized. Blockchain is faster for some, even with the compute enabled on the latest drivers. It also has another advantage, that you don't need to manually switch to compute mode every single time on a driver install. I have yet to see situation where new drivers are slower...only saw same performance (most cases) or better. Also, newer drivers usually use less power, too. Btw, this is now my miner of choice for Ethash algo |

I don't think you have much options for cpu mining, if any beside cryptonight
