BCX, if you really do have the resources to attack and destroy MaxCoin, could you be persuaded to instead do the opposite and point some of that hashpower to a pool other than 1GH and help us fix the network problems MAX has been having? You would feel much better about yourself if you put your powers to good use rather than evil. Nonsense. The issue is with pools. If some are concerned with 1GH having so much of a network, then start offering more simple no-login pools, instead of the standard register/login MPOS. RocketPool.co.uk is available and it is an anonymous pool just like 1GH and no login is required. Plus their fee is only 1%, and since this pool is run and operated by the developers of MaxCoin any revenues collected from fees will be going directly to people who are dedicated to the development of the MaxCoin ecosystem. So mining there not only generates you more revenue, it contributes to the development of the coin itself, increasing the value of your mining investment. Yet the market is choosing NOT to do this for some reason, and continue giving 1GH the power to 51% the coin. It is quite frustrating. It's extremely unlikely 1GH would ever pull the trigger on a 51% however, because it is not in their interest to kill their cash-cow. It would be nice to see them at the very least contributing some of those revenues towards a development bounty program however, considering they have made out like bandits on MAX solely because the devs refrained from mining it themselves and provided 1GH with the fair platform they required in order to dominate the mining power. If the devs wanted to create a monopoly, they would have had their own pool up and running right from the start, but they chose not to do that and left it to the market to dictate the direction and fate of MAX. Perhaps this was the wrong decision, the jury is out on this one. If the situation does not resolve itself, it will severely dent my faith in the free market to come up with a distributed solution to problems like this, and it will also damage my perception of miners as self-interested individuals. There is only two ways for the 1GH situation to be rectified.
1. 1GH themselves simply limit its hashing power. (Not happening)
2. Miners decide to leave 1GH (Not happening)
No serious investor is going to invest in a situation where a single entity can control the whole network.
There is a third option. You could single handedly bring enough new hashpower online and mine at RocketPool.co.uk to dethrone 1GH from their position of dominance. Or at least you claim you could anyway. Also, if 1GH went offline or their reputation was damaged in some way, it could precipitate a mass exodus from 1GH in favour of a developer owned an operated pool. Bitcoin suffered these problems also in the early days, yet it still didn't stop people investing their time, energy and capital into the ecosystem. The 1GH problem is a stable Nash equilibrium, and in of itself, doesn't pose a significant risk to the integrity of the blockchain. If necessary, the devs could force a hard fork anyway. It would not kill max, just like the bitcoin hard fork had virtually no impact either. I just don't understand why the miners on 1GH do not up and leave. A possible explanation is that those miners have an active interest in seeing MAX fail. This theory would explain a lot. Ok, Rocketpool may be anonymous, no-login now, but it used to be MPOS, that much I remember. Perhaps even with forced 2FA. Still, the fact of the matter is that 1GH deserves to have high hashrate and collect the fees. It is stable, very very convenient, with competent and skilled operators. What you're suggesting in that long post is pretty much punish a pool for doing something right, for being successful and competent. However, to mine MAX, I suggest http://dwarfpool.com/max/. Also anonymous, no-login, low fee and failover. |

What coins are you mining? Mine a less demanding coin like Darkcoin or Heavycoin, to see if it still hangs.
See what temperatures, power usage and voltage you have while mining, with HwInfo.
Go to the Bios, and disable everything not needed for mining. Pay attention to sound, firewire, power options, etc... Underclock the CPU and RAM. See if you can tweak PCI-e settings.
Uninstall motherboard drivers, Catalyst Control Center and redundant utilities. Make your system as barebones as possible. Use autoruns.exe (from MS/Sysinternals) and disable useless startups, services and drivers
Undervolt your cards with some modded bios, MSI Afterburner or Gigabyte OC Guru
Take a look at Windows Event Viewer and see what errors the OS reports. Disable some Windows power options, sleep, screensaver, etc...
Don't use BAMT. Instead use a complete and user friendly Linux installation like Linux Mint 64bit

Litecoin, no way! Don't mess with such a structural coin.
Secondary or experimental coins, maybe. And to hefty or keccak. Low power PoW, Cuda and OpenCL support for these, only OCL for X11.

Talvez esteja interessado em 1 conjunto com suporte de madeira, EVGA 1300W e 4 ou 5 ASUS
Dependendo do preço, é claro. Se possivel pagar parte dinheiro em mão, outra parte em BTC.

No registration/login/2FA/crap? Here we go!
Offtopic: I'd like to see exchanges like Mintpal not bitching about direct deposits from mining (just charge an extra fee for such deposit spam), but we will get there ...
What's your issue? There is no registration... coins are paid out to the address that is written in the username of the worker. What's the issue with this? No issue, I prefer this kind of pools and fed up of MPOS style. Haha  Sorry I misread what you wrote Well I hope more people think this way also. We need hashrate in order to be useful! Yeah, I wasn't clear ... I bookmarked your page and will choose your pools, when wanting to mine those coins. Cheers and good luck! |

Just to make things messier than they already are, there are claims of trolls trying to derail threads now, sole reason being to profit via extortion. That may explain why some trolls post non-stop in some threads, days on end... seemingly without a sane reason for doing so. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=553124.msg6039800#msg6039800Some of those yelling 'scam' evidently are trying to scam other people. This place really is a cesspool. Free market Free market does not equal criminal activity. Someone making a taxi coin or some junk coin isn't committing a crime. It's a waste for a coin, but not a crime. Extortion on the other hand, isn't quite the same as 'free market'. I'm glad you agree, free market != criminal activity. Plenty IPO's (and some promises) are outright scams, which are criminal behaviour. Making shitcoins, dumping, pre-mining, etc... that's not criminal, but immoral, leaves people holding bags at finantial loss, and destroys the long-term of altcoins. You can't really justify this crap with "free market". |

--temp-cutoff 80 --temp-overheat 70 --gpu-fan 70-100 --gpu-engine 500-1050
Don't use --auto-fan
You should also undervolt the cards with MSI Afterburner or modding the Bios
|
|

|
|
- Undervolt the cards
- See if your power company offers a contract where it costs less during night and weekends.
- Avoid mining scrypt or scrypt-n, if the gains are minimal vs X11, keccak, hefty, etc...
But then, I don't mind mining at a (small) loss. I'm slowly converting fiat to cryptos, without exchanges or ID validation

what pisses me off is i probably would have noticed Vertcoin back months ago when it was released but i missed it because of the savage and massive flood of scammy shit coin clones. the bottom line is the good ones get so lost it's not even funny.. go ahead and argue with that scam lovers. tell me how its a good thing a legit dev gets overlooked because scammers are hammering the scene with pump and dump ponzi's scams. and YES they are scams when the coin cloners have ZERO intention from the beginning other than a pump and dump copy and paste job.. look at what a pyramid scheme is guys.. i'd safely say most of the so called coins fit the description pretty closely AND those ARE illegal ! They are not all created equal so quit playing like they are.. Free market bs propaganda crap.. gimme a break ! the definition of "currency" now is so abused and distorted it makes me sick :/ and even worse the scummy people who make excuses for the BAD behavior they can not defend. not one single guy has posted a legit excuse for doing bad things here nor will they EVER. Bad behavior can not be excused so it will never happen. anyway let's get this death pool started i have said the EXACT same thing BY MYSELF For Almost A YEAR ! i stand up for what i believe in, even when *almost ALL of you harass and troll and attack me endlessly.. almost a year later and i still stand behind what i say ! so they are correct on previous pages.. YES we are all talk . sad  I want these guys to start getting scared.. they gotten way to ballsy. There was a time when every single coin that was posted was with checking out.. many of you don't know but it wasn't always a shit-scam fest here ! last year coin devs knew they could not get away with posting scams.. NOW they have no problem posting them and the October noobs eat them up and run their mouth and try and bully the scene (most are mouthy school yard brats with shiny new GPU's to flash mine with) All these pricks showed up and the quality of the scene went down hill.. They are screwed in the head big time.. when India while back WARNED the public against crypto currencies such as Bitcoin and Doge coin they proclaimed that a victory saying they got recognized by a major bank.. YEAH WARNING the public to stay away from them ! YOU IDIOTS ARE MAKING BITCOIN LOOK BAD ! And you are taking money out of MY pocket !Lets get forking guys come on ! So the truth comes out, and it really boils down to an, "If I can't have something, nobody can." argument. At least you are being honest. We can't say that for the rest of these scammers, now can we? He's being honest, unlike you, that highlighted a single sentence to justify your B.S. argument. Despite his weird posting style, it's clear he's concerned with multiple issues. His self-interest is included of course, but so is the worry about altcoin future and for people being scammed. |

Just a quick note... I'm seeing plenty of coins with IPO's supporting escrow, as a way to provide legitimacy. It should be clear for everyone that IPO's with escrow can still be scams.
The devs should only get their BTC released from the escrower after fullfilling everything promised in the [ANN] OP. It's worthless to have escrow mediating the transfer of BTC to the scammer dev, and the coins to the buyers. The buyers instead of getting nothing, get a bag full of crap.
So, let's post whatever more we can to protect people in the [ANN] threads.

Posting to confirm the giveaway, too.
Let's see what comes out of this. Good luck for Surge!

Shame on you, dumpers!  |

Another IPO scam.
Not even with escrow is safe anymore.
