Back in late 2017... early 2018 the prices for many GPUs were inflated but not that much. If I recall people were paying $1000 or so for the 1080 (or 1080Ti) and that's about it. I think they were retailing for $700 from the factory.

I think what were the bigger rip-offs were the RX 470 cards that people bought in 2016 and were trying to sell for like $300-400. But back then everybody was crazy about crypto. It was on the news pretty much non-stop in some way and not a surprise it ended badly.

Edit : Thank you for bumping this thread ariel, much appreciated. Your thread bumping efforts have not gone unnoticed, my little mermaid. And just to be clear, we are not paying ariel for the bumping at all.

Talking about marketcap and price, i wonder who is willing to pay $35,824 for one single YFI token  

Not only is this perfectly normal to see on coinmarketcap, it also highlights the weakness of using coinmarketcap to value and rate cryptocurrencies as circulating supply clearly has an extremely high
weighing factor there on both price and marketcap.

Conclusion : cryptocurrencies should not be valued on marketcap rank or price alone, but should be valued / rated in combination with other market factors (number of transactions growth,
number of users growth, number of active addresses growth, traded volume growth, development activity).

If we don't take those other market factors into account, we may as well crown Yearn Finance (YFI) as king of all cryptocurrencies, as it has the highest price (much much higher then Bitcoin).

5600XT 39.5mhs@74w gpu-z, 135w total rig at the wall power Gold PSU, 40w total rig power idle, so roughly total 100w for the GPU.  2.53 watts/hash.  VS Polaris closer to 4w/mhs.  50-60% improvement in efficiency easy.  I call that a win.  Now price per mhs thats another story...Honestly can't wait to see what the 80cu Navi RDNA2 will look like, i.e. "big navi".

.. ultimately failed their own investment strategy ..

... in late 2015 when I was looking if I should invest in Dash or not.

Thanks God, I did my own research and did not follow their “sound advice”.

Wolf0 is right mine other coin.......no more coins, better buy..it is all about buying the coins produced by the POS masternodes. POW is still there to make dash look more legit.

try ethereum it is more profitable, the coins move so fast dash's instantx is not that great anymore  

Thank you for confirming to us that you are indeed a troll that views Dash as nothing more then a 'shitcoin' and who now views all altcoins as 'shitcoins' as well.
I hear the ignore button clicking already  

I guess ariel has become a bit of a maximalist these days
Link : https://blog.liquid.com/what-is-bitcoin-maximalism

They sure are a dull bunch, those maximalists.

Is this really all what trolls can come up with, these days ?
Old stuff from 2013 ? Really ? Old stuff that obviously got obsolete when Evan Duffield started this crypto project in 2014.
(after all this crypto project was never merge mined).

Looks like a certain mermaid troll is still butt hurt that Dash took over the Dashcoin (DSH) Github, during our rebranding from Darkcoin to Dash.

We can't help it that your main developer lost interest in his Dashcoin (DSH) project and sold his Github access to us, ariel. Thereby dooming
your little Dashcoin (DSH) community, which you were part of. At one point you will need to get over it and move on.
Trolling our forum won't really help you, it will just encourage people to put the ignore button on you.  

arielbit, a troll trolling Dash since 2015. Trolling is such a waste of time and energy. Keeping the trolling up for 5 years is beyond pathetic though, it is unhealthy.
Maybe you should find some professional help ariel.  

man man
u have nothing better to do that dig through old posts
this has been debunked a million times

In short the project will be a merge-mined altcoin

Why would anybody invest in mining DASH when it is unprofitable even with $0.03 price of electricity?  Nobody will waste money just like that. DASH is profitable,but only and only if you posses masternodes in equal or bigger percentage of your part in hashrate. That is a catch. Big holders whose posses a lot of masternodes due to 45-45% sharing mining reward betweeen miners and masternodes operators have a huge leverage to push price way down of pure miners profit zone,removed them for market and completely dominate mining,market supply and price of coin.Such concentracion of power is always very bad for coin.

There is no miner who will put significant money into DASH masternodes in the time of bear market. They cant afford it. But big whales with a lot of money can afford it.Because of such huge mastenodes reward they can push out regular miners and take control of market,masternodes and mining operations - full control of coin which put them in such nice position to accumulate a lot of very cheap coins(which precedes every bull run) and make another  pump/dump in the time they want. Something similar happens with other coins,but because there are no such hefty masternodes reward,whales are much more careful to maintain network running safely with some profit for regular miners.

Old blockreward allocation split  : 45% masternodes / 45% miners / 10% budget
New blockreward allocation split : 54% masternodes / 36% miners / 10% budget

Dash Core Group will also introduce a new decision proposal within a month, that contains the following :

Blockreward reallocation split of 48% Masternodes / 32% Miners / 20% Budget.

Why did Evan Duffield and his friends orchestrate the instamine?

Why grab many coins? change block reward schedule and reduce the total coin supply from 84 Million to 18 Million?

Masternodes are the best coin generators/miners/earners since it became online and do POS. Having them is like having a huge mining farm with minimal cost of operating.

With reduced coin supply making the instamine loot a bigger percentage of the existing coinage and will generate more coins than miners thru POS.

That was also the reason why Evan Duffield deceptively hides the concept of POS masternodes from the public before launching Xcoin and more than a month after Xcoin was launched...to accumulate coins for himself and his friends

Was the instamine really an accident? Let's take look at Evan and what he has said in the past..check the dates


this was before Xcoin was put in the ANN section in January 18,2014.

merged-mined?.....proof of work (POW) and POS masternodes



January 20, 2014 ..48 hours after the instamine


just to grab an idea on the accumulation phase..




----more than a month after the instamine----

remember before February 21, 2014, Evan already forked DASH from 84 Million supply to 18 Million..

clearly he is still not planning to tell the public about the masternodes in February 21, 2014 but since a guy asked him in reddit he was forced to speak about it....


why is it not important to discussion? can't get enough?

Evan has POS masternode plans but he didn't say what it was until he and his friends accumulated enough and POS the coins in Masternodes.

DASH instamine was real, it never was an accident.

NOTE:
If you are looking for numbers, here is the thread for you Why the darkcoin/dash/dashpay instamine matters

P.S. you might want to take a look at the persons who had love at first sight of DASH and why it looks fishy for me.
DASH - Love at first sight user accounts [Looking Beyond the Hype]

Yeah i hear ya Phil... back when i first started mining in 2016, i was dual mining ETH + DCR and actually made a pretty good profit on the DCR portion. Although, I unfortunately didn't realize i could dual mine until about 6 months in, so probably lost several thousand in profit from that oversight, but i digress...

To me, it' all about the "extra work to potential incremental profit" ratio.  So, if it's just a few more cents per day but you have to change miners and manage another pool, it's just not worth the effort.  But, if the extra profit is significant, then maybe it's worth that extra work.

I did just find a site "MinerStat" that shows a lot more algos than whattomine, but looks like the best dual mine is ETH + ZIL, which only nets like 50 cents more per day (for 12 1070ti's), so clearly not worth it for that small amount.

Now, even IF Cryptocoderz at some point made some money with this (which he didn't, like he said, but of course we can never know for sure), ..........he clearly doesn't swim in money...

..so there is no reason for envy...

...two poor beggars

Yes I am starting to think this might be the issue. I will disassemble and measure the PCIe voltage and see if its +12V.

This is all the development that this coin will get in its entire life, changing a logo. The funny thing is that the logos are not even made by the devs, but by the community, so no effort for them, at all.

Btw I got the "CryptoLogoz" one, but not the "CryptoBozoz". Can you explain? LOL

predictions of loosers are always wrong) arielbit is a jerk that talking about penis of man he never met, beware!
