There are a few. My favourite is Chainz: https://chainz.cryptoid.info from user fairglu.

GPU bandwidth doesn't matter in terms of PCI-e speed; it's just how fast the GPU can use its own memory but not everything in the memory gets transferred via PCI-e, only very very little.

In fact even PCI-e 1.0 1x (USB risers) are enoguh for mining virtually all coins which only have 250 MB/s bandwidth.

USB risers are not using USB protocol, they're just using the cable since it's pretty durable and works easily even over distances (unlike ribbon).

GPU bandwith doesn't matter in terms of the riser because the GPU isn't pushing all the calculation data back to the riser and the system, it only sends back what it solved from the huge amount of data.

Which is why 1x PCI-e (USB risers) is more than enough (250 MB/s) for virtually every algo.



A lot of miner software requires quite some CPU power per card depending on the algo so having like 12 cards in a rig might be problematic (unless you spend a lot on a CPU).

Also, for Nvidia at least, you have to have enough RAM and/or pagefile for all the cards memory that will get used together combined. That might also get problematic.

And if a card/riser/cable is misbehaving and crashing your rig, good luck finding it in a 12 card rig.


With all that said, if it would work without issues (wouldn't need specialized miner, etc) it could be a game changer.

Would be about time for people to stop giving money to random anon strangers in exchange for pretty images and a few empty promises.

It's funny how years ago there were premine scams all the time but people slowly learned to avoid most of it. ICOs are the very same concept except the dev is dumping his premine directly onto people instead of just into an orderbook on an exchange.

I only had burnt cables so far (because of my fault, too many cards on 1 molex cable) and I limit my cards to 72°C max and occasionally check them with an temp gun to see what's warm.

But even then it could happen in case of a failure.

Yobit is full of bots. You can see a bunch of coins constantly blinking as bots keep making trades, increasing volume in the process.

No, you asked some very basic questions.

It's built from scratch, doesn't depend on operations history (that's pretty big) and its addresses are very short, allowing people to remember them easily.

That alone answers all but one of your questions.



Again, it's built from scratch, doesn't depend on operations history (that's pretty big) and its addresses are very short, allowing people to remember them easily.

There's nothing vague about it. Nor there are any red flags that would make it a p&d.

If you'd read the first thing about the coin you'd know.

It's kind of pointless to me to halve your disk space on the off chance that a drive might fail.

And you can use multiple smaller drives in Storj with whatever size you want so if a drive fails not everything is ruined.

I just assumed it was earlier.

In early 2014 Paypal didn't give a fuck about Bitcoin and eventually rejected the refund of a dude who tried to scam me after I proved their support that I have indeed paid the guy (in Bitcoin).


On topic, I said my piece but here's a last thought; CMC being a tool, a coin catalog, it's effectively a more complete, better tool the more coin it lists. If they were to remove coins another service might replace them.

It's not a tool for promotion like you seem to make it out to be, it's a tool providing information. It's nice to have all the links and an overview of a coin to help researching if it's a scam or not.

And let's be realistic, even for not obvious scams marketcap is a pretty useless number if you think about it. It doesn't tell you anything even remotely useful alone and even combined with volume (which is super easy to manipulate) and supply it doesn't say that much.

When did that happened?

Then why? Why even bother if it not just does anything new, it's even worse than what it was forked off?

I support that proposition.

Couldn't having a bunch of nodes prevent that? I'd assume the nodes would have some sort of consensus on what is the precise time discarding miners who try to cheat.

This coin first launched with 2 nodes, not just one like the other coin and as far as I know this one didn't suffer from the attack, but I could be wrong.

Whatever the case might be, depending on local timestamps seems like a pretty dumb idea.

I was checking in the block explorer, his wallet is not yet fully synced.

Edit: I sent him 1 coin to check if he receives it and his yesterday's earning showed up right after.

Yesterday a friend of mine used the faucet like a 100 times before the payout period ended but his account is still empty.

How long until he gets the funds?

With the amount of greedy people you might not reach the goal. But if you do everyone would use it and in a few days the difficulty would just be higher and profits would be back down to what it was before the optimization (which is why many wouldn't pay for it).

But it's still better than a fixed price.

But none of them help with milking probably hundreds of miners who use your miner but never paid a dime to you.

That it's too much for small farms and chump change for big ones. Fixed price doesn't scale.

To me with 6kW worth of cards it doesn't worth it at all. If it was fee based I might use it.

Even if medium miners can afford it, there's not much reason to buy it because it's either doesn't worth it or it's too good and everyone will have it within a week which is essentially the same as nobody having it.

I love opensource and try to donate to devs if I use their optimizations but the reality is that fee based miners are probably the most beneficial to everyone.

^That graph is weird.

Read my previous comment.

The miner who has the time set furthest into the future hijacks the whole blockchain so nobody else can mine.

Whoever is finding the blocks is essentially the only miner on the chain until someone sets their time ahead of him.
