521  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Why is Bittrex taking 20 confirmations to deposit BCash? on: August 06, 2017, 05:51:56 PM
It's a safety precaution. For your protection.

Right now, blocks @ 55 min. So a day won't kill you.



Yup, but imagine that you need to send a separate transaction for every single different address you have, as you should, because otherwise your privacy is compromised, since all of your coins would be joined within the same address, a big mistake for your anonymity again.

So that means, if you received BTC 100 times under 100 different addresses, you need to make 100 different transactions into Bittrex. At current rate, that's 100 days!!!


Why is few people talking about this problem?

That's not how this works.

Each transaction taking 20 transactions are not additive. You can send however many transaction you want, they'll be confirmed in 20 blocks from the time you have sent them so if you send a lot, all of them will get confirmed at the same time.

There's TabTrader but it doesn't support tiny exchanges so Veritaseum can't be tracked with it afaik.
523  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Cash Transaction, fee to low? on: August 05, 2017, 06:18:33 PM
No, it's just the last block was found about 5 and a half hours ago...

The difficulty is too high compared to the hashrate miners are throwing at it even though it only has 26% of Bitcoin's difficulty due to the inbuilt difficulty decrease if blocks are rarely found... Which will further reduce the difficulty making the coins that much more susceptible to 51% attacks...

is it true that your leaked miners have been distributed with malware?
I would not be surprised...

You should never buy a "leaked" miner.  If it is not from the original source (SP) it is probably compromised in some way (virus).  But you get what you pay for (or don't pay for)!

Yeah, if someone's scammy enough to resell a private miner they're probably the same kind of people to put a malware in it.

And people who would buy a stolen miner would probably the kind of people who easily fall victim to malwares Cheesy
525  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Anyone here consider themselves a master at overclocking? on: August 05, 2017, 03:22:05 PM
I'm guessing you're using AMD hardware (there are no BIOS mods for modern nvidia afaik) in which case you should probably forget most of what I said and wait for an AMD miner's response.  Cheesy
526  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Anyone here consider themselves a master at overclocking? on: August 05, 2017, 03:13:46 PM
I'm not a master at overclocking and I only ever mined with Nvidia hardware but here's what I know:

Every card have different limits so you either use different speeds for each cards or use the lowest OC in a rig for all the cards.

And then different algos have different levels of overclockability - as it were - as they use cards differently. For example, you could get +300 Mhz core on some algos with no problem which would instantly crash on others. So if you mine different algos you also have to use the lowest OC.

And some algos prefer core clock, some prefer memory clock OC. And since the cards are handling power pretty intelligently, for some algos it's beneficial if you downclock the memory so the card can allocate more power to core therefore boost higher. Rarely it's the opposite.

Also wirth noting that memory modules can get really hot (95+°C)  on some cards mining memory heavy algos such as Eth (source). Which you can't see with software as there are no temp sensors there usually. But with the right hardware you can see for yourself.

And while we're at temps the voltage regulation modules also can get super hot if cards are overvolted. And some models have very poor VRM cooling.

Also, an overclock might look stable, in reality it might not be and it will take a couple of hours or even days for the card to crash.



Efficiency is more important these days so reducing power limit and just letting the card boost as high as it does with a mild OC is the safest bet and figuring out the maximum before crashing levels of OC just doesn't worth the effort - especially for multiple rigs.

My recommendation is to just set a mild OC across rigs and if cards crash in a day or two decrease the OC (and if it always happen to the same cards, note them and downclock only those) and if not, then you can increase the OC.

Hello everybody i want to know when i should invest during ICO. how i identify that coin will be Success in ICO or failed? And how to know any coin will not be scam? please clearify me these question.

If you like gambling with scams.

529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: From where does sites like coinmarketcap, worldcoinindex etc get the data from? on: August 04, 2017, 05:22:00 PM
There are freely available APIs usually.

For example Bittrex's API page: https://bittrex.com/home/api

And they probably also use block explorer APIs to get numbers like supply.

I see, so these sites use bittrex's API? Or the other exchanges offer free API's too(like YoBit) and can be used by anyone.

So basically the exchanges have API's available for anyone to freely use and therefore sites like coinmarketcap etc uses their API to get all the data?!.

Thanks so much btw Smiley

Pretty much.

Examples:
https://poloniex.com/support/api/
https://yobit.net/en/api/

Coinmarketcap also have their own free API: https://coinmarketcap.com/api/

They're free as they are just tiny bits of information in a simple format, just don't request data too frequently, like every few seconds.
530  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: safe temperatures for a 1080ti rig on: August 04, 2017, 05:06:11 PM
Up to 75 C is an acceptable temperature to keep the cards at, but you are going to wear out the fans very quickly keeping them at 100%. Better to buy a $20 box fan and place it on top of the cards. It creates air flow around the cards and lowers the temp, so you don't need to run the card fans very high.

are you sure that setting the fans at 100% will wear out quickly? I have read that it should not affect to fans lifespan


I have to adequate my cooling, right now I have an open window and established a natural air flow between another open window. But I think I will try using a fan to push the air through the window



These cards finnally have double ball bearing fans. They should last a very long time, unlike previous Gigabyte cards.

I had several 970 and 1070 G1 Gaming cards and they all had crappy sleeve bearing fans that mostly died in about 6 months on the 1070s and about a year and a half on the 970s. Yeah, the 1070s had the worse fans.

Pre-ICOs and bonuses are marketing tricks trying to create exclusivity and a sense of urge that if you don't invest now you might miss the suggested quick profits.

People who do get in early and talk about it create an avalance of people rushing to get in as well.

It's basically the lower end, slimy online casino and gambling site level of marketing which fits nicely because ICOs are a form of gambling.

That makes sense.
But really, the promises all sound good, but so far i haven't seen any ICO performing what they promise once they have the money lately.

I mean, shouldn't you AT LEAST have a testnet version ready before even asking funds?
And funds for what? 4 hours of work to write up ~500 lines of code?

I really don't get why people keep falling for that shit.

Because people don't care. They just want a spin on the big shiny ICO slotmachine.

Ever since Bitcoin really took off this year it attracted a lot of lazy people who couldn't care less about crypto, they're just here chasing the gold rush in their own way.

533  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: safe temperatures for a 1080ti rig on: August 04, 2017, 03:32:29 PM
The thermal max is not for 0-24h use. In fact these cards start to throttle at 84°C which is still not what you want 0-24.

You also can't set a thermal limit on them thanks to GPU Boost 3... At least I couldn't with whatever I tried. Try setting it to 60°C and see if it throttles down to around it. Hint: it won't.


I have the same cards but I only run them at 60% TDP (180 watts) and I do have like 12 cm of space in between them. But they're never go beyond 70°C even if the air tempreture is over 40°C. They're mostly in the 60's.
534  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Cuda 9 is here :) on: August 04, 2017, 02:28:17 PM
Apparently no speed increase came out of it for mining and it can be even slower, as per Epsylon3:

yes... sm_61 is an emulation of sm_60 P100 fp16 stuff, and when used (look like it is sometimes) its slower than normal ops generated for sm_5x ... So nothing changed for the GTX (and mining cards) about that since CUDA 8

I much rather prefer storing my private keys obscured (changing or adding a few letters and numbers) hidden in a file and encrypted multiple times and uploaded to various services only you have access to.

If your house burns down or if someone gets a hold of your USB stick and realizes what's on it you're screwed.
538  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What sw/hw to use on a Raspberry Pi for mining? on: August 04, 2017, 08:48:27 AM
Hi.

I'm looking for sw/hw to use on my RPi if I would like to mine:

  • Bitcoin
  • Litecoin
  • Dogecoin

If I search the internet I only get old info about this. So I was thinking if a kind soul could help me out here.

Thank you very much.

I can't help you there but what I do know is that you do not want to mine algos that already have ASICs. All the coins you mentioned have ASICs which are super efficient.

You should probably aim to mine CPU-only or GPU-only coins.
539  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Who's ready for the XTRABYTES explosion! on: August 04, 2017, 05:05:52 AM
It took a scam coin and rehabilitated it for the investors who were scammed! How fuckong disingenuous are you?

Fact. I bought freely on Yobit and I know for a fact I own more than the developer. Even now it's less than 10m marketcap!  For a coin that's a top 10 project in terms of tech that's better opportunity than any ICO this year hands down. You are talking nonsense my friend.

Comparing to ICOs is not much of a standard.

Fact: you don't/can't know for sure how much the devs have, how much they picked up for basically free or even if they're part of the original devs who scammed people or not. This is not an accusation, but you can't possibly know.

The price will get pumped, sure, but the origin of the coin is a disability that'll never go away - which is my main point. But you guys seem to be proud of it for some weird reason.


Anyway, I ran these rounds with you before and basically what it all boils down to is that we have vastly different priorities when it comes to judging cryptos.
540  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Who's ready for the XTRABYTES explosion! on: August 04, 2017, 04:51:25 AM
Imagine what its price would be now without the stench of being an admitted scamcoin.

If the tech works, hopefully it will get forked with fair circumstances (with a better naming scheme and without the rabid fanbase  Cheesy).

But I have my doubts.



So it's a scamcoin and you want it forked if the tech works?

Thanks for the endorsement you moron. Grin


Oh the crime of thinking a project is fucking brilliant!

I don't want it forked per se, but if it works a fair fork would show how much the tech is really worth. Should have worded it better.

The coin will never get rid of the scamcoin stink just like Dash with its instamine.
