i too had to leave, since i was loosing money instead of receaving paypal freazese the account

I'd say the top 3 get to stay and post as usual but all other nominees get banned. We should raise the standards and allow only the best trolls to keep trolling.

the v100 is a damn fine gpu - wish I had one! what are you charging for one? if even selling them separate

The tensor cores are already usable in the "Tensority" algorithm (eg. Bytom coin) because this algo uses INT8 value matrix multiplications and the tensor cores (starting with Volta) do FP16 matrix multiplication with FP32 accumulate (ie. FP16 with FP32 accumulate can be used to represent INT8 matmul results with no loss in precision). Turing's tensor cores also support a new INT8 mode with double the throughput of the regular FP16 mode (still waiting for CUDA 10 SDK to verify if this INT8 mode uses INT16 for accumulate).

Aside from "Tensority", "Groestl" is another algo which also uses INT8 matrix multuplications.

In general, if a coin has an algo which uses 8-bit value matrix multiplications, then you can use the tensor cores for this algo.

Is the only thing you are requesting is for threads not to be locked?

Do you think it would be fair to allow legit users that have merit and that are not newbie accounts to keep their threads locked?

Perhaps only one star newbies need to have this restriction. But why me? Why force me, a valid, reputable seller, to change the way I do business?

I do not intend to conduct business in bitcointalk PM’s or thread replies. It is very inefficient for me.

If I unlock my thread, you will immediately see scammers trying to post replies and try to hijack my thread. I don’t want stupid replies clogging up my extremely well organized thread.

If you are asking me to stop directing people to do business with me outside of bitcointalk, I’m afraid I can not comply. If you are simply asking me to unlock my thread, then I would want to reserve the right to delete any replies that I don’t think are beneficial.

My thread is high quality and has a lot of views and is updated daily. I’m very concerned that unlocking my thread will cause the quality of my thread to deteriorate quickly and get hijacked by sellers who just want to get attention for their own deals by posting replies on my successful thread that I’ve spent dozens of hours cultivating, which will then distract my potential buyers from buying from me.

I think you have your ratio the wrong way round.

A topic which has a high ratio of replies to views is likely to be spam. Lots of users reading it feel they can drop in a post, which suggests that it is a vague or simple topic and many of the replies will be repeated, the hallmark of bounty spammers.

Conversely, a topic which as a low ratio of replies to views suggests many users which read it don't have anything additional to contribute. The topic may be more technical or require more thought, and the replies which are there are likely to be more well thought out.

Obviously this isn't a hard and fast rule, but if we look at the reply:view ratio of a spammy board like Altcoin Discussion, we get an average from the front page at the moment of 0.12. Conversely, the ratio on a non spammy board like Development and Technical Discussion is 0.004, or about 30x lower.

I therefore wouldn't say a post with a high ratio is "popular", but conversely more likely to be spam.

I mean you are pretty much describing everyone on this forum... Everyone is itching for a fight, regardless of the actual relevance of what they respond to. People seem to attack anyone who says something that doesn't 100% align with their immediate beliefs about a topic.

Useless metric for filtering shit posts. If anything the opposite.

You can open a topic called "What do you use to wipe your ass?" in offtopic, and get 999 replies from users who tell you they use (probably?) toilet paper.

Whereas a highly technical discussion or question will probably only get a fraction of these replies.
