41  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [Awesome Miner] - Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 10000 miners on: May 14, 2018, 02:42:20 AM
Hello all

What the minimum configuration to run Awesome miner and use the cloud service ?
I plan to use Awesome Miner on a remote site to control ASICs. A Raspberry Pi or Netbook with Intel Atom is enough ?

Very interesting point of view about ASICs

Simply use a smart plug like TP-Link HS-100

How I understand it means that if Zooko will agree to fork, then ASICs will be finished but it's still not the case

That's not how i read it, but than again, English isn't my native language. As said allready, for me it sounds like this:
- Zooko doesn't agree to the fork, means no fork at all
- But he did agree to algo tweaking, something that can done without forking
- This means again, as soon as this tweaking happens, asisc on zcash algo are finished.

While i wrote allready on the zcash forum that no further discussion is needed, no answers, corrections, whatever since than, which again makes me believe that it's just as i readed it, but again, i could be totally wrong, but doesn't sound too good.

You forgot "The second he agrees to work on"
It means "When Zooko will give his agreement to work on"

I crossposted the important part at the end of todays conversation there. For me it seems as the Foundation is bypassing Zookos (Zcash Co CEO) and (maybe tricked him) into an agreement to make tweaks for asic resistance. At least that's how i read it...

Yes, it’s an arms race. And guess what is a part of that arms race? GPU miners forking to get rid of ASICs. Just as it’s Bitmain’s right to make more powerful ASICs, it’s also our right to adjust the proof of work algorithm to make it more difficult for them to take over. GPU miners have the upper hand because it’s much easier to fork the algorithm than create new ASICs.

I should add that the only reason we’re still debating this is that Zooko – for whatever reason – doesn’t want to fork. The second he agrees to work on tweaking the proof of work algorithms, ASICs are finished.

Zcash has made a partnership with Starkware Industries
Starkware Industries founders are old Zcash developers
Starkware Industries raised 6M$ from different investors including........... Bitmain

New firmware for S11 owners, don't know what it brings
48  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: When are New GPUs Being release? Any info on approx. date? on: May 10, 2018, 05:45:39 AM
Won't be launched within next 3 months atleast. Amd won't release anything this year.

About AMD, I think there will be new Vega 20. Maybe version with 32GB HBM2 and 7nm process. New Vega appeared in last Linux drivers. Here in Russia Vega 64 are running out of stock. That's a sign of new models in general.

Last rumours says that GeForce GTX 1180 will be available this summer. There will be 16GB GDDR6, 3584 CUDA cores, and 12nm process

now who bought the Antminer Z9 will really cry . Huge hashrate like this is catastrophic
ROI is better with Z9
51  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitmain launches the Z9 Equihash miner on: May 09, 2018, 10:19:24 AM
ZEC forking, Enjoy your bricks  Tongue
ZEC didn't say they will fork now, they just said that they will investigate and eventually prepare to fork. They now doesn't know how ASICs works and need to understand this first.
So there are some months before a potential fork
52  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitmain launches the Z9 Equihash miner on: May 09, 2018, 10:09:16 AM
For those who thought there is only Bitmain who knows how to make ASICs for Equihash

53  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Bitmain launches the Z9 Equihash miner on: May 09, 2018, 05:00:10 AM
So have many paid for the z9 brick?



My english is far to be good but I understand that they still didn't state if they will fork or not and if they will, it's not for now.
54  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ASIC mining reasons Destroying future value of ZCash (ZEC) ? on: May 09, 2018, 03:53:25 AM


Did I get to say told you so to those that spent hard cash on the z9



Doesn't mean they will not have their ROI. Monero meets some problems since the fork so I'm not sure that a quick fork is a good idea.
Also it's written on Zcash foundation website that they are developing ASIC resistance as an option. They will first investigate. So for me it's not before some months
The message here is more clear :

Also tell me how you can brick a GPU with a fork.

POS, or just don't give the keys to mining software developers and your GPU will not be able to mine
56  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ASIC mining reasons Destroying future value of ZCash (ZEC) ? on: May 09, 2018, 02:28:52 AM


 we wanted to fuck asic buyers hard so screw off you piece of shit asic miners. 



So in fact you don't want to fuck ASICs but ASIC buyers ?
But don't worry, ASICs are not the main problem of GPU, the problem for GPU mining is ETH POS. Just think one minute where all these GPU that mine ETH will go after POS ? Not on Bitcoin, Litecoin, SIA and others. They will go on Equihash and Cryptonight. Higher difficulty, less revenues... just add a crash on the market cap and a lot of GPU miners will die.
I stopped all investments in GPU since some months and buy only ASICs. ASICs, if you buy the first batch you ROI in 3-4 months, you cannot with GPU

My three S11 are mining since 2 days on Nanopool (PPLNS) : 26146 SIA so $668

Of course it's PPLNS and I'm a little bit lucky, but I'm happy with them

https://sia.nanopool.org/account/05f660c3009b07581f791fa58220e6050172bc668b2c5f9eff2efd12803320ab1155161cbba9

https://siastats.info/mining_pools

Nanopool has only hit those 2 blocks in the last week.  Only 9 in the last month.  I'm glad you've had good luck lately and hope it continues for you, but if you change your mind that link above might help you find another pool.

Thank you, I already thought to go on Siamining but Nanopool's jackpot continues. I'm now at 1000$ since Sunday

hi guys. This is worrying. My S11 is hashing at around 3T average but the advertised rate is 3.83T. Support hasn't been very helpful and I'm told to wait for the next firmware update.

Anyone knows why the S11 Sia miner is underperforming? I tried to update my firmware to the latest on their website below but it didn't help. Only brought down the temperature a little.

http://www.innosilicon.com/html/downA4/index.html
I have the same problem, I'm around 8% less than announced.

Can you play a movie while displaying your OS and mining with an ASIC ?
A GPU is not an ASIC, and you know it.



You take the problem in the wrong way and don't understand. NVIDIA and AMD are using ASIC (an ASIC it's a chip, not the bitmain box) to treat some specifics tasks on their video cards. What we called an ASIC (Bitmain, Inno...) they are using only one ASIC dedicated to the mining task because they don't need sound, video, etc... ASICs are in a lot of electronic materials, in washing machines, TV, phones...

Writing this means you have no clue what you're writing about. Educate yourself in the first place.

ASIC means Application-specific integrated circuit and you have some ASICs on your graphics cards to treat some special tasks. On another way we are also talking about GPU ASIC quality.
