Such a premium on coinnest for MCO. As of right now, low $14usd on Binance and $16.80 on Coinnest.

If you're a member of both exchanges, you could possibly make some money just buying from one, and selling on the other.

Great list of mining pools. Surprised to see umine with still the highest hashrate, given they aren't listed anymore and concerns (rightly or wrongly) about their operation. Does look like no pool has more than 50 per cent of the hashrate, which is definitely a positive. Hopefully some of the smaller pools continue to get some more hashrate coming their way - but overall the split isn't 'that' bad.

There is no substantial reason I can see as to why it should keep increasing at 15-20 per cent per day.

I mean, I don't 'play' it, and crypto kitty is cute, but I don't see why that should increase the price by that much. In 2018 we'll see lots of other games jump on the bandwagon, and possibly on other blockchains (which may be able to handle the load better), so wouldn't be betting on crypto kitty to keep the trend going! But Crypto puppies anyone?

I can't think of any nodes that are currently able to be run on windows, or at least not easily, which is why I asked if this was possible earlier.

My guess from the developer's perspective is that the nodes are primarily there to secure the system, with the payments there as more of an incentive. Given there are enough nodes running on linux, there won't be so much of a focus on creating 'windows friendly non-tech person' node/guide, since the primary function is to secure the system, not create additional payment streams for people who would otherwise mainly be miners.

Yeah this - if your setup is 4 GTX 1070's you can do pretty well on bulwark. The Nist5 algo isn't on whattomine, which is why it won't pop up there, but you can get an idea of what you'll mine here. bulwarkcalc.online

A gtx 1070 will get about 40 hash on the nist5 algo if you set power draw to around 70 per cent, so use that in the calculator.

But if you're after an easy bet, you could seriously just stick with Eth at current prices. That'll get about $10 a day if current difficulty holds and price holds.

I just checked and I got an airdrop from Binance a few weeks back for Tron coin. Not sure why some sort of promo. Got 500 of them. At the time it was worth like a dollar or two total, but now it's all the way up to $8 total! That's a nice little bonus for doing precisely nothing. Didn't have to register for it or anything.

Anyway, hope MCO holds or increases post announcement - sometimes the price almost factors in a positive announcement, so once the announcement actually hits, it can drop a little. I've seen it a few times with other coins where the announcement almost becomes the minimum accepted outcome.

Wow really? I thought most of the smaller or 'second tier' exchanges charged about 1 BTC. But 5?? That is an insane amount for that exchange. It does make you wonder how some of those much smaller coins that have a market cap of a few hundred thousands get on to cryptopia. I'm guessing they've increased their prices recently or some of those other smaller coins got in before Bitcoins recent jumps in price. A floating price based on USD might make more sense in the future.

Do you have a step by step guide for setting up a masternode somewhere on your website, or is that something you get access to more through your discord or telegram channels?

Not that I'm able to set up a masternode, or even have the bulwark to do it, but just interested in learning more about masternodes and how it works. Also how involved it is, or if anyone that gets the required coin along with a vps, would be able to set it up with basic technical knowledge.

I understand that to get on coinmarketcap, you need about $10,000 in daily trade, plus be on a recognised or reputable exchange (which I think counts yobit).

Stating the obvious here, but listing on coinmarketcap will help with getting some recognition that this project actually exists for those not across it through signatum. Any update on straks being traded on an exchange like yobit and therefore progress to being listed on coinmarketcap?

If I buy enough bitcoin pizza to buy a pizza, and instead hold the bitcoin pizza coin for 5 years, will it become worth hundreds of millions? Because given the name, that is my expectation. Anything less is false advertising and will be below my expectations!

But seriously, nice work I'll have a further look into it.

Tried your most recent miner and it works great - I'm getting higher hash rates consistently across equihash coins compared to the more well known ewbf miner. Not sure why more people aren't jumping on this miner for their nvidia cards, given it seems to consistently perform better. Also seems to be running stable across my cards so don't think that is putting people off trying this - maybe people just don't know about it?

Great idea! Great way to bring people over to the pool. As you know, these things tend to have a snowball effect so once some people are mining, it hits a tipping point where more people jump in due to consistent payouts and reliability in finding blocks.

I will swap over my modest mining rig when I get home. 200GHS here we come!

That's quite a list! Are these exchanges already locked in, or are these exchanges that you are hoping to list on, once the ICO stage is complete.

I'm surprised there isn't more attention on this ICO, particularly given large team and established product.

Is the idea of your platform that users will be able to invest in traditional assets (like real estate) through cryptocurrencies, and get 'passive income', also paid out in crypto, based on the return of these assets? Do you already have an asset book ready to go that people can invest in?

AI projects must be difficult to get off the ground! I mean, if huge companies like google are struggling to turn AI into useful products or bringing it to the market, it will be especially difficult for an ico to get anywhere.

What will you be doing differently to ensure the project is a success? What skills does the team bring that set you apart from other projects?

That is a great result. Might be a bit of luck involved, but hey, if it works out for you and you're spreading out the hash power between pools, then perfect!

I'm guessing the pool has not had issues with stability? There were a couple of pools with stability issues at the beginning for a while but seems to be getting better now that the pools are a bit more established. Asking because I'm looking for a reliable 'set and forget' type of pool.

Sell half keep half? Probably a lot of early interest, particularly as some people are trying to accumulate for a masternode. Looks to have stabilised around the $6 usd mark.

I'm also surprised at how much interest and how profitable it is mining bulwark. I'm guessing nicehash going down has actually 'helped', since the nist5 algo doesn't come up on whattomine, so only way miners can find out about bulwark is through other ways, like this forum or by looking at the new listings on coinmarketcap. 

Yeah I would mine Zencash or Zcash usually. You are right that bulwark coin is a great find at the moment. I got in early and was mining close to a coin and hour for about half a day - that has definitely dropped off now that there are more miners. I expect it will come up on whattomine soon and then it won't be so profitable (plus the price could fluctuate quite a bit given it is a new coin).

But if you want a set and forget coin to mine, I would suggest something equihash based like zcash, zencash or zcoin.

I have a mining rig running almost 24/7, so if I can run a secure node through it while mining, and the return is greater than the vps cost, then why wouldn't I? Get paid in zencash, plus help secure the network - sounds good to me.

I want to run it on Windows 10, as my mining rig is running on Windows 10. That's the only reason, plus I'm not particularly familiar with linux based operating systems.

That makes sense thanks for that link. I agree of course that it is much better to pay an honest 'higher' fee, than have to worry about getting paid at all! Although there does look to be a lot of people still mining on bsod, so I'd be interested in if anyone has seen anything that doesn't quite line up on that pool. They had some stability issues for a while but seem to be running fine now.

So is the idea that the fiat currency used to purchase any coins on an exchange will be used in charity drives? And what will the cpu mining be used for - more as a way for users to 'donate' their coins for a particular cause at whatever the going price is at the time?

Charity coins are interesting - always like to support a good cause!
