I find that the killer is dust and not speed - unless you go max or close to max speed which is a bad idea for 0-24h use.

I'm about to buy a bunch of replacement fans for the Gigabyte 970s as they start to get beyond repair (cleaning and oiling them has less and less effect).

It's understandable, everybody has to start somewhere.

My previous statement regarding giving money to an anonymous person over the internet without an insurance being a terrible idea still stands.

And you might have earned some money from a single ICO but that's like winning in a slot machine: it's possible but it's not up to you and you're bound to lose if you keep playing. The house (anon devs) has the edge.

But all in all, common sense will take you far, just don't even jump into anything blindly and always plan carefully and only risk that you can afford to lose.

I'm really not here to have a go with you but you do reek of inexperience in regards of crypto.

"What in an ico or bitcaointalk thread proves a scam?"

You'll eventually learn that the answer is simply: that it's an ICO.

Giving money to an anon individual over the internet in exchange for a few pretty images and a bunch of promises without any insurance is worse than gambling. You're basically asking to get scammed.

And - no offense - but scammers only exists because of people like you who make it profitable.

I don't want to stir shit but I'm not completely sold on the wallet.

Its size is only 20 MB and it acts like an installer and refuses to run in sandbox. I don't have any evidence against it but this wallet is definitely somewhat weird.

This topic comes up frequenty and the consensus is that even if you can physically plug whatever amount of GPUs you want into a single computer, you'll run into limitations.

You'll probably have to edit both your BIOS and your OS (linux) for the slightest chance of getting more than 6 or 8 cards recognized - let alone working.

And then when you have a random system crash you'll have a much bigger problem trying to figure out the point of failure (GPU, riser, cable, etc) as if you would with a 6 card rig.

And these risers are generally not exactly cheap (though the one in question is surprisingly cheap).

Each card requires a certain amount of electricity, system memory and CPU processing power (depending on algo) so you're only essentially only skipping on motherboard and storage costs (which is so low it's not even relevant) in exchange for massive difficulties.

All in all, I think it's not worth the hassle at all.

@staccatoauditory

That's a great find! Do you have a BTC donation address?



You're level of naivity is suggesting me that you shouldn't be anywhere near the altcoin scene.

Banana Terracotta Pie Coin

Price is 8 sats? What a joke, that's 0.0576 BTC going to all the miners each day which means zero network security and 100% ICO scam.

That, and there's a 700kk premine for ICO which doesn't even have any details.

That's almost 3 years worth of PoW rewards.

Anyway, I was just bored so I jumped on mining it.

You definitely can:



WTS some I guess...

Yes, you can. Just like you would with any other wallet. I think OP meant to write "can" instead of "cant".

Now everything seems fine, both my wallets synced perfectly. Not sure why they didn't sync yesterday with the same nodes.

Edit: Scratch that. Solomined blocks won't show on other wallets again (I essentially fork off if I find a block) and the pool also seems to have some issues.

Thanks.

WTS lots of WASH, pm 

Hey, it's nice to see the new wallet is here and thanks to everyone who made it happen!

Though there are some issues. It seems that some blocks were found on the pool but some parts of the pools still say the pool is still on block 1809901.

I solomined a block on the new wallet but a local wallet on another machine with the same nodes is still stuck on 1809901. It seems blocks are not transferring between nodes.

Is this the right chain?

The memory doesn't have temp sensors and with higher OC mining Ethereum on some 970s for example, I read close to 100°C with an IR gun while the GPU temps were around 60°C.

Check if it's warm to the touch (the plastic). If the connection is weak due to the burn it will be warm/hot in which case it's not fine. But with some basic cleaning and soldering you could repair that.

Read my comment a few lines above.

I solomined up until diff 4 and even then it was very infrequent. And now it's 14 at the time of writing. It will probably climb to like a 100 eventualy. Especially if multipools add it.

All single algo coins will suffer from ASICs since there's no single difficulty retarget that works outside of the main blockchain.

Super ASIC miner joins mining, difficulty retarget shoots waaaaaaay high, ASIC miner leaves, difficulty stays and the blockchain halts for hours/days/weeks and it can't go back until blocks are found at super high difficulty  (which is super unprofitable).

Single ASIC-algo coins will either have add more algorithms (so each algo pushing the blockchain forward can retarget the difficulty of stuck chains) or move away from ASIC algorithms.

Source is up, pools are incoming and all 3 people who own X11 ASICs will soon fire their hardwares up and off the difficulty goes straight up to the moon while GPU miners cry and go back to mining a GPU friendly coin.

Been fun GPU mining this. WTS WASH I guess.
