With which miner do you get 40Mh/s?

You are not associated, basing associations like that in and of itself is plain stupid. It's like being a suspect of a crime because you walked down the same street where someone committed a crime a month later you were there.

There's no 2k$ anon limit. Level 1 verification (2k$ limit) requires your name already. And even then you're pretty much at the mercy of Poloniex regarding when they will require full identification.


Anonimity is not that important to me but even then an anon coin with its entire trading volume happening on one single US exchange is just trash to me.

If anonimity were more important to me, I'd much rather want to avoid using exchanges with FinCEN/AML/KYC first than just using full anon coins.

Right, and where do these users get those coins?

Pseudo-anonimity is good enough for me.


What I find hilarious is that 96.52% of Monero's volume belongs to a single, centralized exchange (polo) which also require people's identity. Until that's fixed I'm not sure how people can push Monero.

C-cex is not a scam site. Occasionally exchanges have some unexpected downtimes.

People would have to use their coins to be viable. Which is hard to see happening because there's no way their coins will be completely decentralized and fair. And then there's (at least pseudo-) anonimity.

Bunch of coins use Quark as a hashing algo and yes, there are ASIC available for it.

It was a weird and unexpected pump. J is not a coin that gets pumped but if I had to guess the news around the fork attracted a p&d group or a whale. I didn't follow the distribution tab on bittrex to be sure. And I missed the pump.

But at least we're not in danger of delisting.

I think Skein is just using more juice than other algos because the miner for it is well optimized. But it should be fine though at 900W.

Have you tried only mining Skein with 3-4 cards?

Maybe because this is the first time I have ever heard of Livecoin and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Bittrex is much more established, has way more coins and and after a quick look it seems Livecoin is way too simplistic compared to Bittrex.

You should be fine as long as you're mining coins with long blocktimes, so not Ethereum.

Only if you're a plug and play miner who will all have a very bad time in the next few months and will shake you out of mining - even with very cheap electricity - until the next big thing comes out for a few weeks, maybe months.

Personally, I don't even remember the last time I mined Ethereum.

High emission compared to low real world usage is bad.

Zcash is pretty much unused but its inflatition is super high which means nobody with a brain will hold it medium-long term. Ideally, inflation rate and demand for a coin should be roughly the same to have a stable price.

Also, the 4 year halving period made sense for Bitcoin because people didn't know anything about crypto back then so those periods gave people time to get interested, start mining, etc - and still do.

But now, 4 year per halving I think is way too slow for a new coin. Meaning, because of the long halving periods inflation will be super high for years to come and by the time it gets to an acceptable level for investors, Zcash might very well end up being abandoned tech.

I don't know. Maybe that's one of the reason why the numbers are so different.

Probably, but it's hard to gauge just by how much. I think the number is miniscule and it's nice not to get locked with 3-4GB in the future as I'm not planning on selling 1xxx series cards in less than well over a year.

I could only find estimates on memory power consumption which vary wildly:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/10193/micron-begins-to-sample-gddr5x-memory (1/3 of the page)

Based on other sources older cards consumed 4.35 W per gigabyte of GDDR5 (17.4W for 4GB and 34.8W for 8GB) but the same source says it's closer to 20W or slightly more for 8GB.

There are also much higher numbers, like 50W for an R9 290X.

Ridiculous amount of premine (294000000 so 986 days of mining worth of premine), pointlessly slow block times and moderated thread.

DOGE: Blockchain size   14.03 GB (source)

They want $159 a month on top of transaction fees for 14.03 GB of storage. What are they storing the DOGE blockchain on, diamond plated SSDs powered by blood?

It's pretty ridiculous and it is a pretty good laugh.

The number checks out.

On one hand there's the difference in fabrication process which says a lot:
GTX 750/750Ti/760/770/780/780Ti/Titan/Titan Z - 28nm
GTX 950/960/970/980/980 Ti/Titan X - 28 nm
GTX 1060/1070/1080/Titan X(P) - 16 nm
GTX 1050/1050 Ti - 14 nm

But, every card has their advantages and disadvantages (e.g. different efficiency) on a per algo basis.
Considering how old the 750 Ti's are, I'm still making ~70% of what I make with 1070's watt for watt.

But it's not as easy to sell them.

Be careful with sharing private keys like that.

I quickly imported it trying to save your coins in case it held any but I see you used a private key for an empty, unused address so you're fine. Of course, don't use that address anymore.

Thanks, but on yiimp you can't look up addresses - as far as I know - which kind of renders it useless to me.
