181  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: tdxminer lyra2z/XZC Miner for AMD GPUs on Linux on: May 28, 2018, 07:18:23 AM
I run it on HiveOS. Wrote a little script that sets the fans and the voltages and other stuff. Then it monitors the miner for crashes. It runs days, stable as a rock with 470 and 580 cards.
Very nice miner. Would not hurt it to be incorporated into HiveOS but it runs just as fine now.

Also if you undervolt it it has really low power consumption. Love lyra2z.

With which one do you get 0.56 cpd?

Sorry it's was a typo error. The thing is I was computing the total cpd I'm getting and ended up typing the sum for RX 570. My R9 280x is 0.21 and RX 570 0.35.

Thought so Smiley I don't know about R9 280x, but R9 290X does about 0.4 to 0.45, my RX 470 cards do around 0.32 and RX 580 around 0.4. So I think you are doing ok.

I have:

- QBIC
- IMC
- Proton
- LINC

So far not one of them was a complete letdown. But I am betting on IMC where I am also personally involved as a mod and as part of the marketing and project managment. Currently the price is ridiculously low as most people just chase ROI. But we are very very active (you can check on discord) and beta version of trading platform for the intermodal bussines (which is a huge bussines in billions of dolars) is about to be released. If everything goes according to plan this project could see huge gains. Also it is cummunity friendly and half community drive. Alot of people from the community (including myself) are actively helping the project go on.

As usual don't beleive everything I say, do your own research and decide Smiley

Hi people.

As I see that this project has serious problems (and I don't wish that upon anyone Sad ) I would like to present to you an alternative in the intermodal bussines space. There is another project called IMC. It has been announced about 3 months ago here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3106705.0

The site is here: http://intermodalcoin.online/

Currently we are just entering a phase where we are beggining an extensive marketing campaingn and also finishing our platform whith which we are trying to completely change how intermodal works. The project is not aimed at only one subsector but at the whole intermodal industry. If we pull it off this is a huge market.

While currently the price is very low (because of dumping unfortunatelly) I beleive we are now at a turning point with all the activity being done. If you don't beleive me, please join our discord (https://discord.gg/zwRvuDc) to see what I talk about. We also have quite a few people in our community that are from the intermodal world. We will answer all you question in the Discord and give you any additional info you need. The website is also being redesigned as well as our whole image. We are also starting a bounty in the following days.

Anyway I mean in no way to impose, I posted this just as an alternative for those who are looking for one. Otherwise I wish the project luck and you people a lot of future BTC earnings Wink

Let me just add the disclaimer: While I am a moderator in the IMC Discord and activly helping the team with the project I am not directly connected to them. I do hovewer own IMC coins.
186  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How to level playing field in mining> on: May 25, 2018, 06:33:39 PM
Not saying we should  but  how to do it.


Yeah fork fork fork fork = pita

How about  ideas and proposals ?

My newest idea is sell an OS  with a license tied to your ip.

So lets say my ip is

01.234.567.89

I buy an os  that allows me to mine  zec  and or other alogs      Something like ethos  does.   It is unique has its own number  say 123456789

So they are paired     01.234.567.89   with  123456789

And if I am doing  zec

under         4000  sols =  hobby     miner so diff is      x
4000   to   10000 sols = small     miner  so diff is   1.5x
10000 to   50000 sols = medium miner  so diff is   3.0x
50000 to 250000 sols = large      miner so diff  is   9.0x
over       250,000 sols = unlimited miner so diff is 20.0x


It  makes the attraction to  asic's less  since they have a higher difficulty.
No forks

gpus stay in the game

hobby mining is not lost.


Feel free to poke a hole at it but  it seems like it could work.

Any insult to anyone I will delete.

So  to asic only  or gpu only  people  please  be polite.  As for FPGA  proponents also be polite.



I do not like ASICs, but....if you do it this way, why would anyone buy anything but the weakest miner. Buying a 3K$ ASIC to mine at basically the same dificulty as a hobby miner makes no sense.
187  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: The present and Future of Mining on: May 22, 2018, 03:31:34 PM
Hello.

To begin with,some facts.

- By the 13th of December 2017, the network hashrate of ETH was 130.000Gh/s. Today (this has been repeated most times) we are at 245.000Gh/s. so in just 4-5 months the current Hashrate of ETH has almost doubled.
- I'm really begining to see a pattern on this. Usually, if the market goes down, more GPU's are pointed towards ETH (a safe value, at least for now). It happens aswell the other way round.
- today, the current profit of a 314mh/s rig is just about 300$ per month (electricity cost considered). In Spain, were i live, is just about 250€.
- PoS is bound to happen sometime this year. We are getting very close to 100 million coins Vitalik said to be the max number. So at anytime ETH mining can be crashed.


The point is: Is there a coin , considering the current values of the Altcoin market, that can see increased it's price so that mining that coin can be profitable?=? i mean, once PoS is applied, where are you going to place your gpus?? Is there a coin , actually, that can absorb that huge amount of hashrate without making the coin totally unprofitable?? We all know that if a coin increases in hashrate but not in price, it's not a viable option to mine it (unless you bet money on it and you succeed, but i guess noone wants to bet nothing right now).

Let's place ourselves in the day after ETH cannot be mined so it's in PoS version (btw, that day is not very far). Is there a future for those gpus?? Nvidia cards do decent on ETH and very good on other algos. AMD cards do very well with ETH and not very good on other algos.

Is the end of ETH going to kill mining?? Will that enormous amount of Gpus searching for profit , actually gonna destroy any profit on any coin??? What do you think??

The only thing I am concerned about is all the noobs leaving ETH when it goes POS. If they sell their GPUs it will be heaven, but if they do the actuall research then it could be problems with flooding the networks.
I am all AMD and I have around same hashrate that you talk about (314 mh/s on ethash). I can assure you I am getting around 700$ per month  (electricity cost deducted already). Ethash is not the only profitable algo for AMD. There is also CN variants and some other more hidden gems (the one that get you that money). Do your research and it pays out.

Disclaimer: The alleged earning is of course calculated at this time. There is no guarantee that it will actually be like that in one months timeframe.

mmmm....i will not deny that what you say is possible. But reality tells me another thing.

The ETH network hashrate has been increasing overtime. and when a small fall in the market appears, more or less like 10.000 to 15.000gh/s appear on the ETH network. Suppose that those are the ones that mine another thing different from ETH and from time to time have to quit it to mine a safer coin like ETH. Considering that i see this happen at least 2 times every week, i don't think you can get a lot of money by mining other coins, though i will not deny it. what you are telling me is like doubling the profit of ETH with AMD cards. That's very difficult to believe, but possible if you are good at this.

i don't know your electricity costs, mine are at 0,15$ average (i have timetable electricity) but i've calculated dual mining and it just doesn't make sense since the increase in power consumption would force me to sell the altcoin at prices that, in some cases, can mean a loss. It depends on whether you mine for profit or for paying bills.
Considering the many people hold the mined ETH by paying the electricity bill from their own pocket, at the expense of waiting for the price to skyrocket, so selling ETH is not what you want to do overtime (in a bullish view) so mining altcoins for actual profit is just an exercise of no guarantee as you said.

If i were to point my cards to another place different from ETH, the instant profit can be lost from a day to another. I value your braveness to do it, and research everyday for the most profit , but i don't think that's "real" in terms of efficiency and profitability.

also we will have to agree that the expectations in ETH are not the same as other coins. It's not the same to mine a coin that with actual difficulty can give you profit, and compare that to what you can do with ETH if prices begin to skyrocket. ETC, MUSICOIN and another EThash algos are not profitable for me or at least, more than ETH so no point on even researching. XMR gives me like 55% less profit that ETH at the moment, and it has been probed time after time that AMD RX 570/580 like ETH algo but not the others.

Enjoy your insane profit out of your cards, because i can't even imagine how you can almost double my profit without mining the best algo for AMD. If PoS comes soon, no coin will be left proftable once gpus flood the network.

If you don't beleive me just PM me and I will tell you how to do it. But I will not make it public here because then I just undermine myself. Its all on the forum though, you just have to dig and do some research and tinkering. Actually I have 2 algos that give me way more then ETH. After that algos come CN variations that are all more profitable then ETH most of the time, specially if you consider low power usage of CN. And then there is ETH after all those. Mind you I am looking at shere current profitability.

Also what you wrote holds to an extent. At times you need to input a lot of time to switch algos and sell fast to maintain high profit. But the algos I talk about are very stable currently so no need for switching. My electricity cost is funny the same as yours at 0.15$.

And I don't agree on holding. Why not mine something at almost twice the value of ETH and buy ETH weekly for twice the ammount?

Unable to PM, interested if these are coins you are able to sell on an exchange or not. Thanks.

Yes. While I saw you can make really easy money by mining MN coins when they come out and selling mined MN in OTC market its a pain in the *** for me. Because you need an escrow or you can get scammed and you need a lot of time for all that.

Out of two coins I mentioned one is even on Poloniex (and old coin from 2014) and has a daily volume of 235 BTC with very stable price over time (its of the radar as its basically a shitcoin).
The other is a new coin but had a good growth and has a fantastic community. Volume is around 14 BTC daily, I think its traded on CryptoBridge atm.

So yes nothing special about that, normally tradable coins and very stable as I said. This is not some day to day mining thing.

And when Bitmain releases FPGAs miners that can mine anything faster and lower power than GPU's which gets updated every time the coins fork? what then? mark my words. 6 months from now GPU's will have nothing to mine that covers the cost of power.

Lets wait and see. I think you are overreacting. I bet in 6 months the mining landscape will be roughly the same as it is now. This is how people are, every new threat gets blown out of proportions. But as I said I might be wrong. Well if this happens I can still sell my GPUs on ebay and recover the costs (they will be long paid by then). If I had ASICs I can just throw them into trash.

But I am sure it will not come to that. Btw same thing was being said when there was a bear run not long ago.
189  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: The present and Future of Mining on: May 22, 2018, 02:25:08 PM
You guys are missing the big storm on the horizon.

Let us assume for one moment that eth does not go pos in the next 6 months. More asic and fpga are comming online that beats gpus. What are you guys going to mine then?

Yea some coins might fork away from asic but no one can for away from FPGA's or gpus. Except going POS.

ASICS are just a big hype that holds no water. I am more and more sure of it. They are on the network for a long time already and when they are being released its just when forks are announced or when profitability falls to low, like in case of Cryptonight. All companies announced their ASICs at the same time. How weird. And then poor people chasing money buy them and have no chances to ROI.
I beleive the same is being done with FPGA. They are more flexible and pose some danger but not them and not ASICs I think will destroy GPU mining at leant not in the near future. Why? Simply because GPUs are so darn flexible. You can mine any algo and switch at ease and also tinker with them a lot. And they have a great resell value unlike ASICs or FPGAs. Also coins with ASIC resistant algos are comming out daily and new algorithms are constantly being developed. Nothing beats GPUs at how fast they can adapt to this.

Maybe I am wrong, but I do beleive that it not the case. Just look at all the crying here on the forums about about how mining is dead. Ok let it be dead, I will continue earning 700$ per month with my 6x RX580 and 4x RX
470. I know I may sound full of it, but I am honestly telling the truth Smiley

But I am aware that in crypto things chage REALLY fast. So in one month I may be earning 200$ for all I know and in half a year I may be bearly paying electricity. Only time will tell Smiley

No activity here for 2 weeks simply means the project is dead?

We have invested a lot in the project and are still working on it.
There is no intention of stopping in any way.

Discord is no longer there, no info, no exchanges, a message from devs once in full moon. Maybe not dead, but that is no way to run a project. This is complete incompetence and this project is a fail project 100%. If you knew how to run a project you would do it way better and its not that hard. So please...

If you are running a hobby weekend project at least state so. Some people mined your shitcoin alot (luckily I did not) and invested quite some time and electricity in it.

Hi,

We've added IMC to the miners multipool: www.zpool.ca

Cheers

Thanks for adding IMC!

Also here is another update about the developments of IMC.

- The platforms release is starting to get closer everyday as we are still working on all functions to work properly and some last designing tasks
- We will release a wallet update the upcoming weekend with new fixes

Besides that we are also working on several other parts of the project;

- Renewal of the entire IMC website
- Re-branding of the IMC logo and a promotional video.

More to come soon!


Good news. The progress is steady and reliable. I think it cannot fail.

Yup Nvidia and Linux only.

I'm currently debating about setting up a couple of 1080ti's on a linux box but I would have to drop other projects to do it.

To bad, I only have AMD cards. Hope someone makes a miner for it Smiley

199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: New mining setup on: May 16, 2018, 02:02:05 PM
I'm sorry, but this is the WORST moment to buy cards

Asics
FPGAs
New gen Cards
Cards above MRSP
High Diff on all coins

No its not, the worst moment was 2-3 months ago. FPGAa are only rumors for me for now. They may become real players or they may not. Speculations. ASICs are real ofc, but my GPUs are still very profitable.
Hi diff on all coins? Exagerrate much?

GPUs are still the kings of flexibility. If you love mining you can earn good money still. But its not plug and play. It takes a lot of dedication, tinkering and research.

Even with electricity cost around 0,30$/kwh?

If you know what you are doing yes. I have 10 cards in 2 rigs and 2x R9 380 cards in 2 PCs. Those two only mine occasionally. In the righs I have 4x RX 470, 5x RX 580 and one R9 290x. With that setup I am getting around 20$-30$ per day on average. Some times more some times less. I pay around 5-6$ of electricity per day with 0.15$ cost. So yea you would still earn some but you earning will be greatly reduced. So your margin if prices go down is slim.

I am going for solar energy very soon. If you have means to do that its the best action as it gives you free electricity basically. In your case it would be especially sound investment.
200  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 8th Alt coin thread. Or what to do now that asics are all over the place. on: May 16, 2018, 01:54:10 PM
Phil I'm curious what's with the thinking that GPU mining is dying?

My RX500 series are easily pulling in >$1.00 per GPU per day after power.

My Vegas are >3x that

My 1080tis make $3-$-4 per day per after power

I'm pretty happy.

Shhhh, let them scream, the more people get out of mining the better Smiley
