oooo it seems i voted too soon, was all excited with the halving.  sorry !!!

turn off log files.  go to page one of this thread and find the appropriate -xx string to put in your .bat file.  I forgot what it was.  I suggest everyone turn off their log files unless you have problems.

I'm getting crashing at startup when init the dag files.  tried gser 2 to no avail.  previous versions were fine.
edit: now miner crashes even though i reverted to previous working version.  ah crap.

hmmm that hashrate on the siapool is spiking like crazy...

any day now guys   any day.


just kidding

This.  Maximum hashrate is not optimal solution.

yeah i know it works fine, but for some reason port 4444 is a no go for me.  some people have said I should ask my isp or something, but idk, i'm kinda lazy.  maybe i'll ask next time I call for a price reduction.  I do that every year, call, ask for customer retention, just be nice and ask for a better deal.

Its hard to stay on topic   We'll just have to wait until Claymore brings us that new sacrifice for the gods (new dual coin to mine).  Other than that, i'd love to mine on etherminer, but the damn 4444 port is not working.  anybody have any ideas for me, i didnt really try anything special yet.   etherpool works fine, but I'd rather have ethermine.

"What does worry me is the ½ ing may not drop hashrate.
  I see 300 to 500 ph going offline,but  I think the spike could be that 300 to 500 ph. I really do hope  to see a 20%-30% "


I have the strangest feeling hashrate wont drop either...imo it will just keep going, and going, and going.  probably will stabilize at some point (end of the summer).  idk so many factors here, the halving, probably no new hardware for a little while, and imminent huge btc bubble in autumn


by the way that diff is getting close to my pick....GO DIFF GO

too expensive for me according to estimated prices.  For a smaller operation, ROI on this is around a year.  im basing myself on 200mhs and cost of around 0.3-0.35btc.  But its good to see people coming up with improved software.  I would suggest going the route claymore is currently doing - fee based usage.  apart from self-interest, someone may simply put the software out there.  good luck though.

Hi guys.  Two things.  1.  ASIC eth miner is a scam, and also, never pre-order anything.  Maybe bitmain is a safer bet, but the usual rule of thumb is dont preorder anything.  soooooooooo many people got burned because they were greedy and people exploit this. 


2.  By tweaking your voltages and clocks on gpu's, the main point is not getting the highest mh.  the point is getting a decent mh number, with lower power usage and (imo most important) lower temps and lower fan speeds.  For example on a xfx 390, you can get 33mh but it will run hot (80-82 in my setup).  undervolt -100mv everything and overclock less - you get 31.5 at 74-78c.  So play around with it and see what you like.  I get around 55% fans vs 70% fans.  In winter, I will revert to max hashrate because, well, temps will take care of themselves.  So start -100mv voltage and work your way up with the overclock.  Have fun.  And dont forget to eat. 

The btc addy is : 13PMYNVmuTadVEEfwv1TMGktiwdeYbzpys
Token name: CDFASSET
Total Tokens:  100000 tokens but expandable if there are subscriptions.


I have finally done a Counterparty token.  At first I wanted to issue a smart contract, but again the whole ETH and DAO and smart contract questions still remain...so I threw all that on hold.  Simple is better.  Simple is safer.  The exact composition of the fund will be shown tomorrow, and the indice will start off at 0.01btc finally (just a base value).  So if the fund does 10% return, one unit of the fund will be worth 0.011 btc, etc.  

Since this isnt on any exchange yet, (except for counterparty market), I propose to all that are interested to REGISTER with me (send me PM).  Tokens will be issued and redemption is available(free of charge) at ANY time you want, but only to the original btc address.  You may only do a redemption at the original btc address for those that register.  Other than that, the usual redemption period (first day of the month) is still valid, but carries a 0.5% fee.  This is a security measure in case something goes wrong.  Users that are interested can opt to buy in the fund at any time, and new tokens will be distributed.  It is interesting to note that even though the token amount increases, the Net Asset Value (edit: per unit) of the fund remains the same.


again, all input in appreciated, and if you guys want I could make this automated with a flashy webpage, but work has been pretty busy with the brexit and all (go brexit lol).

Hey everyone !

I've been playing around with different code and tokens to see whats easiest/more adapted to the situation.  this isnt really like any other crypto coin so bear with me.  As for my track record....hmm considering I do work for a private firm I can really upload account statements.  I'll break it down though for you guys if that interests you   This month has been good due to brexit and lots of volume on the open/close, which is where I usually make my money.

Active volume: 1671380
Passive Volume: 1772500

So this month i'll be paying out a little bit in exchange fees.  Last month I got 4047.79$ in rebates.  Paid 1053.78$ in Lending fees and interest fees (on margin so you pay interest on borrowed money, also on borrowed shares).

I can't really say what products I trade.  But i'm in Canada and do canada/us trades.  This month's P&L is about 40958.28$ including dividends to be paid.  This seems like a good amount of money, but my firm takes a cut, and I have about 1000$ give or take in fees for price feeds and charting.  proprietary platform is not charged to me.  so in my pocket its about 25-27k or something like that after everything.  I'm pretty happy, but it doesnt make me rich, considering I lost 7k last month, didnt make anything 2 months prior to that.  For the year to date i'm up for my pocket maybe 65-70k, which i'm happy about.  But it seems every few months nothing works anymore and I have to find new ways to make money.  which kinda sucks.  I've been doing this since 2007.  i'm getting pretty tired of A- giving money to my firm (lol) and B- fluctuating income.  Sorry to say, but I kinda wish for another financial crisis (like 2008), where I could make bank and go do something else with my life.  Or screw the firm and tell my boss to go fuck himself (nicely).

this is going to be good

Thanks for everyone's input, a pretty final version of the fund is now here :


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1528971.new#new


!

I am in IRL a trader in finance.  Arbitrage and ETF market maker and liquidity provider. 








HOW IT WORKS:


-The fund does a Modified ICO format which has a fix value per share.  All funds are used to buy currencies that are in the fund.  There no initial fees.  The fund will invest in 15 currencies total.  At the end of each month the fund is re balanced according to market weighting.  Simply put, the fund will follow the CMCI15 INDEX (Coin Market Cap index). 

-Redemptions :  Traders can redeem CDF units for cash equivalent (in btc of course) at the NAV, at the end of the month's rebalancing.  The NAV (net asset value of the fund) is calculated daily.  All this is transparent and will be posted.  The redemptions will have a 1btc equivalent minimum to be exchanged.  This permits traders to arbitrage the fund, and permits the fund to correctly follow the NAV.  The fund is not obligated to honor all redemptions and has discretion to act in the best interest of unit holders.  Due to the recent DAO debacle, all fund transactions/monitoring/activity shall be done on a manual basis.

-Dividends : Any proceeds by POS coins held by the fund or others will be added to the fund's NAV.

-Fees :  The fees will be 0.35% yearly, calculated monthly at each re-balancing.  Can be lower as fund grows.

-Tech : The fund will be based off the SAFE network.  Initially the ETH network was to be used, but in light of recent events and persisting incertainty this was changed.



The idea is that a lot of people want to diversify from bitcoin, and this is an excellent diversification vehicule.  It is transparent and predictable.  It is self-regulating - that is - if more people buy it, the price will go higher than the NAV, and traders will arbitrage it - creating new units through the subscription/redemption process - or destroying units (inverse scenario).

This is different from a normal scam coin ICO.  The NAV, fund holdings, and relevant information will be updated daily for all to see.  All proceeds will be held in cold wallets on an always offline system - and transfered only through the redemption process.


BOUNTIES:  The totality of the funds fees will be given out to people who want to help with this idea.  I do this IRL, so I figured why not create an ETF in the crypto world.  So PM me if you want to help or post here.  I'm looking to have people involved in this project, so we can have a real diversification option.  This will be run on the backside like a real ETF, like I do everyday. 


ROADMAP:

Right now everything is ready.  The reason this is a modified ICO is as follows :  There is no set amount of coins for sale.  Thus, a large number of coins will be created, and they will be used only for new unit creation through the subscription process.  In the redemption process, coins will be destroyed by sending them to their deaths (private keys destroyed). 


I am open to constructive feedback and help getting this on an exchange.  Although exchange traded is in the name, the functionality of the coin is not impacted if it isnt traded in the very near future on one.  The composition of the CMCI15 INDEX may change between now and launch.


This is the first fund of its kind, and I believe it serves a purpose.  A framework may be put in place in the future to automate all actions.

Not going to work im sorry man.  I would suggest getting one gpu and start to mine altcoins, like ethereum or others.  less heat, little to no noise.  And you can adjust the number of gpu's according to heat/noise requirements.  for example I added a 280x too much, and now my garage is a sauna.  a.  god.  damn.  sauna.

Also tightvnc or other similar program is a good way to access your rig

and price seems to be recovering so far.  I dont think dwarfpool would have a vote, they can barely tweet once every few months

edit:  I stand corrected !
