This is just a DASH clone.

Because DASH was not a clone and was written from nothing, right?
1202  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ccminer 1.8.4 - opensource (tpruvot) on: February 28, 2017, 12:55:59 PM
I use this when I'm testing stuff, which is very similar to m1n1ngP4d4w4n's:

Code:
echo off
:loop
cls
nvidia-smi --query-gpu=index,power.draw,enforced.power.limit,power.default_limit --format=csv
pathping 127.0.0.1 -n -q 1 -p 500 >nul
goto loop

which keeps looping something like this:

Code:
index, power.draw [W], enforced.power.limit [W], power.default_limit [W]
0, 163.68 W, 162.00 W, 180.00 W
1, 161.54 W, 162.00 W, 180.00 W
2, 163.15 W, 162.00 W, 180.00 W
3, 163.11 W, 162.00 W, 180.00 W
4, 163.90 W, 162.00 W, 180.00 W
5, 161.90 W, 162.00 W, 180.00 W



But do note that some cards (most 750 Ti) and some models doesn't use the correct power limit so the figures are wrong.

More something like:

http://www.btc38.com/

But yes, I see your point about bter, I also had (have) an account there.

Salute

I would stay far away from BTC38.

They allow trading of coins without allowing deposits and withdrawals for weeks (XCN). That's a very poor business practice. If a wallet of an exchange doesn't work, they should not let people trade. Especially not after weeks of ignoring the issue.
1204  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin Concept, Come Poke Holes in My Idea on: February 25, 2017, 11:20:05 PM
I see.

I don't think Storj is slow, I didn't check but I'd imagine files encrypted into tiny bits pushed to many nodes (plenty of redundancy) it should be super fast to download them.

Problem is, prioritizing bandwidth simply means it's pointless to bother for people on home computers, only on rented/owned servers with proper bandwidth which means it will be quite centralized. More centralization (fewer miners with bigger bandwidths instead of more home miners with small bandwidth/storage) will also possibly limit redundancy.

Thing is, storage is cheap and bandwidth is expensive. Anybody can add another cheap HDD to their computer and contribute to the network but many people can't get faster internet. Many many home users with small individual bandwidth I think is preferable over a few rented/owned servers and the way you imagine the system to work heavily prefers servers. But of course it's your vision.

The DDoS problem can be easily avoided with less harsh penalties. Miners could just get paid in a linear fashion based on how many days or even hours they were online with frequent, random short speed checks to avoid miners with intentional or otherwise limited bandwith. With enough redundancy miners with low uptime shouldn't be a problem and if files are broken into small, let's say 1MB encrypted bits scattered over the network (instead of 1GB which wouldn't make sense), low bandwidth home users shouldn't be an issue either.

1205  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there any trusted altcoin which equals to 1 dollar ? on: February 25, 2017, 09:46:52 PM
I want to exchange some part of my bitcoins into cryptocurrency which is stable on its rate. Maybe 1 coin = 1 dollar, etc.

Does any exist already ?

I don't think there is one. What would you peg a coin to have a stable 1:1 rate with USD?
1206  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin Concept, Come Poke Holes in My Idea on: February 25, 2017, 09:42:33 PM
-Any downtime (detected by pinging) reduces profit 10x (ie, if your mining machine is down for 1 day, you lose 10 days worth of profit for that uptime month)

Such harsh penalties practically beg for people to DDoS the competition once a month.

-100% of your "storage" has to be downloadable by the network within 1 hour, tested by the network randomly 4 times per month (uptime month of 30 days, not calendar). If you fail this test your profits over this period are reduced by double the amount of failed download, eg, you are hosting (mining with) 4gb of space, a random download attempt occurs and only 90% of the 4gb is downloaded, then your profits are reduced by 20% untill the next random download test.

That means you need 291.27 KB/s (or 0.284 MB/s) per every GB data you store. Bandwidth therefore would be waaaaaaaaay more important than storage size. I mean 1TB is not much today but that would require 290.81 MB/s (2.32 gigabit/s) which is ridiculous. Also, topping upload speed for one hour without limitation can be super annoying (it would lag everything else). Imo transfer speeds should never reach 100% or even 90% for long periods of time. And with a lot of redundancy, it wouldn't be required for someone to upload gigabytes of data fast.

-When you start mining you do not receive profit for the first uptime week of 7 days (this is to stop people that had some downtime simply creating a new miner on a new wallet straight away)

Similarily to point 1, people will have downtime. Unless they use a server environment - which this idea of a coin seem to highly favor.


Regarding the regular cleanup of unused addresses, I'm not sure how that would work but that probably introduces a whole array of problems. I leave that to someone smarter.

I'm not sure why miners would have to closely monitor stuff so that 2 hours or so required babysit sounds like useless annoyance. I mean the system should be automated.

Basically, I think StorjShare already does everything better than this imaginary coin.
1207  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: February 25, 2017, 08:28:40 PM
Spreadcoin miner pascal edition has been released.

Since the old donations are from 2015, you need to donate 0.05BTC if you want it.

+20% boost on pascal cards or more..

Expected something like this.

Anyway, network hashrate is only 399 Mh/s so it's a risky buy to me. As it stands 1 card would need 166 days to produce the price difference. If you reach 10 Mh/s without crazy OC I would buy it though.
1208  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell / Pascal kernels. on: February 25, 2017, 03:42:53 PM
i mainly resale to switch to a better gpu and better efficiency, it doesn't make sense to me to keep mining with the same gpu when or if roi is reached

you can believe what you want but i've always sold them easily for at least 50-80%, with second hand stuff it's even better

if in your example nvidia release the 2070 after 1-2 year(usually this is the time frame not 2-3 years), i would sell the 1070 for 50-80%, like i did with the 970 after i bought them in 2014 and easily managed to sold them for 50% at least after two years, plus roi would be already done

and if it isn't done, with 50% of the value back you still managed to return all the money back(unless you're telling me that a gpu can't reach 50% of its roi in 1-2 years which is false), and in fact i didn't lose anything in any investment i did in crypto, actually i made money

Unless you have really high electricity prices, why? It's still earning you beyond ROI and not that much less that a new card would make up for the difference in price between selling the old and buying the new - again, unless you have really expensive electricity.

I has been done numerous times already.

The best is probably PIVX (disclosure, I'm holding lot of it).
1211  Other / Meta / Re: Browsing logged in is much slower than logged out or with a new account on: February 25, 2017, 03:23:02 PM
I'm not entirely sure but I guess It's a normal thing because while being logged in, there are some checking that you really need to do and that could require a database connection which will make the loading a little bit slower.
An example to give  is the trust profile, If you are logged out then you don't really see it on the trust of users, while checking a section too, you have to check If you have already seen the threads or not, If you didn't they are in bold otherwise they are normal and that check is not done while being logged out.

Yes, but I tried logged in with a new account which was fast. Which means the trust profile, subscribed threads or read/unread tracking could be the issue.
1212  Other / Meta / Browsing logged in is much slower than logged out or with a new account on: February 24, 2017, 08:44:17 PM
I noticed that when I'm logged out the site is much faster at loading pages and I can't figure out why. That way it's near instant while logged in adds an extra 1-3 seconds per pageload.

Clearing cookies didn't help.

I tried with a new account with same settings and that was fast as well so that pretty much excludes my end.

The only difference I can see is that this account is subscribed to 24 pages of threads but that shouldn't affect pageloads, and certainly not this much, right?

I have no idea why it is the case but it's very clearly there; I did a few test with a stopwatch measuring the time it takes to load 10 pages of the same thread one after the other and the difference is always at least double.

New 2FA (remove and add) seems to be the best way since it's possible that even the private key for 2FA people used to set it up is out there.

good what speed you reached? now a 1070 can do 8MH

I need a few hours. I think 10MHASH is possible.

Now that would be something!

You should know by now that mainstream coins rarely ever pay the most.

Why we need change our password, i guess they hash our password so it still save right?

Cloudflare revealed a serious bug in its software today that caused sensitive data like passwords, cookies, authentication tokens to spill in plaintext from its customers’ websites.

I just cannot seem to find any info how to set this .bat up right it just keeps crashing on launch Sad

Mining X11 while there are ASICs out makes it a fruitless excercise.

ccminer --help
if you still want to do it or make sure your card's CUDA compute version is supported by the miner.

ROI reaching into the two year spectrum, revenue going under $1... Cryptos have acrewed too much hype and now we're buckling under the weight of all the new hobby miners and affluent individuals trying to look clique (there is a thread right here in mining altcoins). Armageddon is nigh.

BBR and Pascal could still use optimizing. That's definitely a open window... Otherwise, there isn't much left unless something new comes along.

Actually considering selling off some of my rigs to buy antminers.

If you're ROI is reaching into two years already (just heading into a dry period) you might be a plug and play hobby miner yourself. I'm still below 1 year to ROI currently (including the cost of the rest of the rig per card) even with 970s with $0.13 kWh.
