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.

Did you think about it before posting?

They are making a platform to solve intermodal problems. A platform, through witch, the trading and problem solving will be made. That has nothing to do with the coin. I can't see the contracts being made in any cryptocurrency as they are to volatile. This is a conservative and very expensive sector of the bussines. They might incorporate IMC for some other things but the key here is the platform itself. IMC is basically a coin like a share over which you invest in the project and make a masternode with.

I don't know why everybody think crypto is only good for payments. Its a blockchain techonology and decentralization is the key. There are already thousands of payment coins out there. Guess how many will survive for more then a year. Also the price with such a new project is in my opinion irrelevant. Dumpers dump, so what. If the project is a success the price will follow. If not it does not matter anyway.

Now people use your head and figure for yourself if its worth investing in

There are other algos good for RX 580. Tons of options. I won't name all because I don't want competion, but Neoscrypt is also good (although power consumption is terrible with that algo) then you have Lyra2z on Linux (a new miner there). X16r, X16s and X17 are also good with recently optimized miners. Quite a few options if you ask me. There is also quite a lot of uknown CN coins that you can daily trade with great profit into something else.

If you find the correct cryptonight coins (the ones that forked) they are more profitable then ETH atm.

Probably not But you can support the POW network you beleive in. Or not and you just mine for profit

Exactly, on top of that I have a regular job, own a company and still do mining For me its like a free time hobby. I always pitty the idiots who see easy money in everything and all they are capable of doing is buying an Ethererum rig and pluging it in. Then when it comes to changing the algo and address they come to the forums and whine. And to those buying ASICS and supporting Bitmain...you deserve everything you got. Mining takes some dedication and study.

For the record I still earn 20-30$ per day with only 10 AMD GPUs. (this is without electricity costs). You just need to know what to mine. I also do not sell what I mine for covering the costs, that goes from my regular job earnings. I bought GPUs from yearly company profits and it was tax free

So yea its quite nice and I have fun doing it. What I do agree is that simply buying some crypto and holding could potentially lead to bigger gains, but that is not half the fun mining is and you do not learn so much as you do if you build and tweak your own rigs.

You know people you can do all three:

- Have a regular job
- Buy, trade and hold crypto
- Own a few righs to mine a little on the side

Thats why I am sticking with GPUs. When you get your ASIC the network is already saturated and earnings down. And you can't swith to more profitable algorithm.
With GPUs you simply switch algo and keep mining.

The devs say that platform is progressing nicely. But they wan't to make sure to be a good product, without bugs, so give them a little more time.
It should be out soon. I think the project is progressing nicely.

Btw its still good time to buy, the price will go up even more soon. Marketing will follow the platform release.

Five years in crypto is like 1000 years

I can confirm that the sync is now lightning fast. Great update

Also the MN count finally reached a good count, so that the rewards droped. This will stabilize the price, so now its a great time to buy IMC really really cheap. You will not have such an oportunity later.

If you know the algorithm its easy to calculate it. You can also test mine on any coin with same algorithm. Hash rate will be the same.

This is one of the projects that should get more attention from the public. They are doing hard work on an actual real world project. And good work to. So people keep an eye out for them.

I also agree that its better to make the platform perfect, because the first impression will be very important.

Simply get a job. You have a nice steady income in form of mining and that runs itself. Just check everyday that you mine what is best profitable atm. With that and a job you will be earning nice money. Thats what I would do. No way I would sell the GPUs. You would sell at a loss probably.

Basically look my settings I posted for RX 580. It runs rock solid with that. I also undervolt a little as power consumption is quite high on this coin.

Thx. Ah I remember you talking about an optimized kernel. Did you change your mind about disclosing how to build it myself?
Anyway thx for the sieveSize tip, so other then that I have optimal setting. Good to know.

Can you post settings that gets you 0.47 on RX 580?

I have:

- Core Clock: 1265
- Mem Clock: 2000

- multiplierLimits = ["24", "31", "35"];
- windowSize = "8192";
- sieveSize = "420";
- weaveDepth = "40960";

Oh and I run the blockchain drivers. Do the newest Adrenaline drivers work better?
And I have OneClickPatch from Polaris editor applied. But that only sets the straps on the highest bands.

I only get around 0.40 max. But mostly 0.37-0.39. So what am I missing?

They had a very unfortunate timing as that height was the time of greatest pump in the market. All coins dropped dramatically.
You have to view it differently. QBIC was around 0.25$ a while back. Thats when you buy. When a project with such roadmap as QBIC is so undervalued, then you can be sure you will profit in a long run.
Naturally they still need to deliver first. But that holds true for any project out there.

QBIC has huge potential and they are comming out with something big out very soon. Price is stable although not going up but thats understandable as investors are not 100% sure of the project. If the new features comming out very soon prove worthy the price will rise a lot. The coin is undervalued probably.

Can't wait for the alpha release of the platform. It will help the project a lot, because it will show what the true potential this project has. As already said there is massive money in the intermodal industry and they really need solutions for their logistic problems. If done right (and I beleive in the team) it could be a revolution in that field.

I vote for Lyra2z. Good coins are on that algo and it works really good an AMD cards.
