Forget about the motherboard, you have plenty of options (ASROck H61/H81 Pro BTC, Asus PRIME Z270-A, Biostar motherboards, etc) but what power supply are you going to use that has 12 x 8 pin connectors? Or you're going with two? |

I feel the sudden and absolutely crazy rise of PIVX is too detrimental to the coin itself. Way too many people bought after ~100-500% increase and starting to hate the coin as they realize their losses.
It's not the coins fault, it's simply just greed and many people don't know they shouldn't buy coins AFTER they started pumping. Buy low, sell high anyone?
I have no doubt PIVX will reach $2-$3 eventually but it's being pushed out further due to so many investors gamblers being mad at the coin instead of being mad at their own poor decisions of buying at the top. There's only so high a coin can go in a set amount of time and PIVX went way above that, that does not mean it's the new Bitcoin.
For everyone being anxious, mad, sad, etc just please either sell your coins with a loss and move on or have patient but whatever you do, please stop whining and shut the fuck about the price. Long term the current price doesn't matter at all and if you're in it for short term, you should have put your money in a slotmachine...

Yeah, staking is working fine. Everything seems good, now it's time for those mining pools to get back online.
On which fork?  I can't even sync to the "correct" fork no matter what. |
|
|
|

Yeah, different algorithms have different speeds. Without context a 160 Mh/s rig is likely talking about mining Ethereum since it's one of the most popular coins to mine and newer GPUs do somewhere between 20-30 Mh/s each doing Ethereum (Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm).

Ask Vitalik  So much smoke and mirrors in ETH land, I prefer to just forget about it. Fancy names is all they are good at. Reduction of mining rewards, now that is something to worry about. I see. Asking miners to vote for implementing PoS is like asking the turkey on thanksgiving if it's ok to be killed and roasted. Also, I don't think the team behind Eth truly believes they can pull off staking without any major issues considering their complex system. And even the facts around the difficulty timebomb seems to be vague. |
|
|

I may just misread it but it seems the implementation of PoS will be based on what is essentially a voting with funds wheterh to switch to PoW+PoS or staying with PoW only. Am I right? |
|
|
|
|
So you rather have this coin die instead of removing staking altogether?
I mean staking for this coin is pretty much useless in terms of profitablity (espeically in crypto), it only really spams the network with dust transactions and causing forks.
Just remove PoS and maybe reintroduce it after the issues gets solved and proven on testnet.

With the rework of explorer.lbry.io there's no longer an API. Will it come back?

Its really hard to imagine these record breaking hashrate levels without ASICs in the Ethereum ecosystem.
That's a big, likely false assumption. But yeah your point stands; eveyone and their pets are buying mining rigs and once the bubble bursts it will be bad and maybe some plug and play nicehash miners will sell their hardware off, but mining won't die anytime soon. Something, something quantum computers. The questions I think are; when the bubble will burst, how hard it will burst and will this bubble help cryptos long term (due to potential massive profits) or will it have a detrimental effect (massive losses, volatility). |

A lot of people simply does not understand that for each erc20 token storj bought, one counterparty sjxc token will be burned.
There are no new tokens being created. It is merely the devs creating more liquidation, although I worry about the huge amounts of sjxc the devs actually hold on to .
Why would it be an ICO if they buy the same amount of old coins they intend to sell as new coins? In that case it would be a simple coinswap, no? |
|
|
|
This is the second Storj ICO, this one will likely be a flash in the pan...
A second initial coin offering? Is this a first? It will be a new coin so regardless of the swap, it is still an ICO and consequently should suffer from the stink of being an ICO (not like many people give a shit). And the funds will be hardly decentralized. |

In the EU, I'd stick with something like this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1921659 or even with a locally created solution. Comments like these and the price difference really leaves a bad taste in my mouth from the creator of those cases you linked: For those interested in where this guys is ripping his design off of, check out:
Yeah, they call this competition.. I saw somewhere a guy making these out of wood for $50. Supply/demand drives the market. Monopolies are mostly beneficial to the business owner. Actually it's called theft of intellectual property. We've already shut down two groups in the US that tried to copy our design. Luckily for this guy he's outside the US and thus difficult to go after legally. This is basic data center / server design used in EVERY data center in existence. There's a reason it's done this way with literally millions of servers around the world. Adding GPUs doesn't change the way air flow and cooling works and this setup is very efficient because you can concentrate and control airflow. Combined with a hot/cold aisle and you really can't get more efficient than this design. Open air will ALWAYS be less efficient because air cannot be controlled so it only passes over the hardware a single time before being exhausted.
With that said, I use open air frames for my rigs because it is sufficient for my needs. If I'm able to move to a dedicated space, I would absolutely use racks with hot/cold aisles in order to maximize efficiency of cooling. A lot of money can be saved with this over the long term, but as usual, initial cost can be higher.
I have plenty of space which is why I'm not convinced that I should swap to 4U rack cases and looking for some figures regarding card temps. |

ICO and no mining equals terrible distribution of funds.
|
|
|

I can 100% confirm that the 4U cases mean that temperatures are lower and fans are more efficient. Although the cards are close together, you are also to concentrate your airflow. My earlier rigs which are the stereotypical 6 gpu open air rigs run at 65-72 degrees but my 8 gpu rigs in 4U rack mountable cases run at 55 degrees or so. The rack mountable cases also allow for the ability to control airflow in a larger mining farm. This means you can utilize hot aisle cold aisle cooling scheme which will greatly increase cooling efficiency if you use a CRAC unit as opposed to the fans that most people use.
Interesting. My cards are in an open frame rigs with ~2" or ~5 cm between cards with one massive fan blowing at them from a few meters. Dust is an issue here so I'd like to move to filtered close cases like these racks but I have no experience with them and I'm skeptical about the temps being lower, or even just the same. |

|

Hey, anyone who has similar cases can tell me what are the temperatures of the cards compared to the usual open rig with plenty of space between the cards?
|
|
|
|
what's the reasoning behind this?
I think they are starting to hide a lot of information there.
The distribution button has vanished too?
I'm not sure how many they showed before but you can still increase the number of rows displayed (10, 25, 50, 100) But it does do stuff like this:  And yeah, I miss the distribution button. I didn't even see any notes of it being removed, they just did it. |

no staking reward since 10-05
it has been 5 days.
is this normal? I have over 10,000 pivx.
It can be a bit of "normal" + "unlucky" but the consistency also can depend on how your inputs are setup. I assume you are using 2.2.1 also? If not, I recommend you to upgrade as it's more secure & stable. I have my 10k split 10 ways resulting in each input being approx 1000 PIV each. It doesn't mean you get richer but does allow better utilization of your coins. (and more consistent minting frequency etc) It's certainly better than having some of the 10K PIV in smaller inputs (e.g. 5 PIV) as a 5 PIV input might take 5 years to stake just once! Here's something I whipped up to show how to use the built-in UTXO splitter to split your coins into multiple inputs automatically. You don't need multiple addresses. Just send the coins back to the same single address if you want. https://i.imgur.com/MWgNzXJ.pngGood stuff! My coins are in 2500-2700 chunks, is there any advantage splitting them to 1000 coin chunks? I'm getting staking rewards frequently, just wondering. |

Those cards are way too close for my taste.
Also, are those 6 x 580's on 1000W and 1200W PSU's? Unless they're TDP limited, they will pull 200 watt each which is a lot.
