You think so? The rumour I'm hearing is Ethereum team are planning to get rid of Asic once and for all, they are just using the PoS switch to buy themselves some time, they won't see it coming, anyway this is still a rumour too.

Wouldn't be the first time Ethereum team use that PoS switch method, as POS was talked back in 2017.

I still haven't figured out why ZIL pumped this much, any updates on development or what? Any way congrats to those that held this coin all along I wish my turn will come someday too.

Nothing at all, this is likely because the eth merger is getting closer and closer, scammers will be pumping coins before anybody else in hopes that will trigger idiots into buying coins at the top or close to it, trapping them. Trolls should be very careful here, i think this will be big pumps and then big dumps and then bear market and then starting 2024, bull market starting again. I guess this is the last bulltrap scammers will do, anyway, nothing wrong playing the game, just invest a little, only what you can afford to lose.

Since last november I read here daily and since that time you always post about the last bulltrap before bear....like a broken record.

What is your plan after ETH goes 2.0 in the month of June 2022? Have you decide what to do with your mining rigs and farms yet or not?

CONGRATULATION!! Your are the 100th person who ask this question  Roll Eyes
45  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What if? on: March 30, 2022, 04:03:16 PM
Is it possible that ETH will release a new asic miner resistance if they later decide not to abandon the PoW algorithm? If this happens won't GPU mining be exceptionally profitable again?

46  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: ETC mining on: March 29, 2022, 04:20:00 PM
its price will continue to rise as long as ethereum is in pow algo. as soon as the ethereum goes to pos, the ethereum classic will receive a big hashrate in its network compared to before, its price will later either remain at the same levels or it will fall as they would sell it for profit. now if miners behave like ethereum by keeping it in their wallets, that would be a positive development.

There will not more ETC to be dumped if hashrate goes to ETC this is nonsense. Miners will receive less, so less profitable at same price thats all.
47  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 1070s/1080s are still good in 2022? on: March 29, 2022, 04:17:57 PM
1070 and 1080s eat more power energy I don't see any reason to build a mining rig with such old graphic cards unless mining profit increase a lot, the same thing with rx580 too, if you want something more efficient you need 6600Xt, 1660 super, 1660 Ti, RTX 3060 and 3060ti.

I like more rx 6600 vs 3060, because it get 29 MHS for 45-55w where a 3060 (lhr of course now you cannot find something else) produce 38 MHS for 115-120w

Not to mention they are cheaper
48  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Is RTX 3070 amongst the best efficiency GPU to mine ETH? on: March 21, 2022, 04:19:20 PM
I got 13 of these yesterday.

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=12G-P4-2263-KR

I paid 431 a card with six months no interest to pay.


They do 37 mhs at 85 watts. 12 gb ram 3 year warranty these are pretty good.

They are on ebay for 488-490


https://www.ebay.com/itm/284661293897?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/294726907602?  I have purchased from this seller he was good.

My 3060's v2 are doing 37mhx @ 115W (software) Humm can I get those result... what is your settings? Im using HiveOS
49  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: The fate of crypto mining on: March 20, 2022, 11:10:18 PM
In the end it all depends on how we look at mining,the most important thing is to never give up and continue mining even in very difficult situations,that's the key to success.

As an experienced miner who has been in this game since 2013, the key to success is not buying equipment for bloated prices, especially when we know a crash could happen in 4 months. I'm going to sell all 3 of my rigs in May/June, then buy them back at a fraction of the price around August. We can't expect another PoS delay as of now.

The miners who will win are those that build rigs when the market is in a panic. Those who scooped up RX 570's for $90 each in late 2018 and are selling them now made a killing. If the video cards are cheap, the lower profit doesn't matter.

Over the past 8 years, the payback period on a video card has almost always stayed in the 300 - 800 day range. This is good enough for me, especially since I'll be getting cheap power soon and I can lower my taxes by building these rigs.

In the end of 2013, the ROI of a GPU was 30-40 days... OMG I miss these days...

Dear Bamboo coin family, we are pleased to announce our newest miner: https://github.com/De-Crypted/dcrptd-miner/releases/tag/1.0.0.rc10 Nice mining

Following this project till the first days, still growing small steps at a time, but always growing...good!
51  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Future of ETH mining on: March 18, 2022, 12:01:23 PM
Back in 2017 it was the same scenario. ETH was supposed too go POS in less than a year too. There was lot of post like this one about what mining will be after that and ... here we go again 5 years later.

Maybe this time it will be true, who knows?

Roughly guess, but I discovered a  new fresh coin (not a shitclone copy paste, NEW code) that could be the next good coin to mine and it is Bamboo. Not 100% ready for now (miner doesn't do multi gpus yet, still not on an exchange) but dev is really active. So if ETH mining is gone in the next year, this could be a good mining canditate.

Well see ....
52  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Future of ETH mining on: March 16, 2022, 04:05:32 PM
Postponed to 2023. That's what I heard.
For real   Shocked? Any proof to support this point? This is why I'm not buying some gtx 1660 super from China at 410$ today, I just needed four pieces but the ETH 2.0 is making me slow down, I already changed my mind but this?.

No point in buying 6gb graphic card now, even if ETH mining stayuntill 2023 , a 6GB card won't be able to mine ETH long enough to ROI by that time.
53  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: My 2017 predictions on: January 19, 2022, 02:31:09 AM
Here are some altcoins that I think it could be a good move to have in 2017. It would be nice to recheck in say, 3 months (march 2017) what is my success rate. I will explain how I would distribute in % of holding I would go. (So for example, I have 1000$ to invest, if I say I would go 10% on this one, then it's 100$)

1) ETH

Price this moment (2016-12-16): 0.01 BTC  or 7,90$
UPDATE 2016-12-28: 7.13$
Yes ETH price dropped a lot, but it seems now that the drop is over. It could go back to 1 000 000 000$ marketcap but of course I'm not all in for this one. Let's say 20%


2) Bitcoin

Price this moment (2016-12-16): 783$
UPDATE 2016-12-28: 967$
Not that much to say, it's the king and since the halving in july 2016 that price is still rising slowly, but I don't expect it to double, so a safe bet. Another 20%


3) Monero

Price this moment (2016-12-16): 0.0108 BTC  or 8,48$
UPDATE 2016-12-28: 13,72$
Stay solid at over 100 000 000$ marketcap, could go easy to 150 000 000$ marketcap again. Another 20%


4) Blackcoin (BLK)

Price this moment (2016-12-16): 0.00003396 BTC  or 0.0266$
UPDATE 2016-12-28: 0.027$
This one is a different strategy. It seems to always oscillate between 2 000 000$ and 3 000 000$ marketcap. So right now it's time to buy and watch when a pump occur and then resell for profit (just before 3 000 000$) Another 20%


5) ESPERS (ESP2)

Price this moment (2016-12-16): 0.00000055 LTC  or 0.000001996$
UPDATE 2016-12-28: 0.00000298$
Ok this one is more for a homerun or nothing. It cost nothing, so risk is very low. If it gains attention it will enter BTC market and more exchange. So an easy X10 on this one if this occurs. so 10%


6) Litecoin LTC

Price this moment (2016-12-16): 0.004633 BTC  or 3.63$
UPDATE 2016-12-28: 4.61$
Not that much to say, it's the alt that bring them all, seems like it ain't dead. so 10%


So in my example, with 1 000$ as of today (2016-12-16) I would get:

20% in ETH so 25.3165 ETH
20% in BTC so 0.2554 BTC
20% in XMR so 23.58 XMR
20% in BLK so 7518 BLK
10% in ESP2 so 50 100 200 ESP2
10% in LTC so 27.54 LTC

UPDATE 2016-12-28:
ETH holding is now (25.3165*7.13) 180.50$
BTC holding is now (0.2554*967)    246.97$
XMR holding is now (23.58*13.72)   323.52$
BLK holding is now (7518*0.027)      202.99$
ESP2 holding is now (50100200*0.00000298) 149.30$
LTC holdin is now (27.54*4.61$) 126.96$
Total: 1230.24$


Feel free to discuss my choice and let see the result in march 2017!

Just for kicks more than 5 years later this scenario worth now:

ETH holding is now (25.3165*3170$) 80253.30$
BTC holding is now (0.2554*42419$)    10833.81$
XMR holding is now (23.58*205$)   4833,90$
BLK holding is now (7518*0.037)      278,17$
ESP2 holding is now (50100200*0)    0$
LTC holdin is now (27.54*141.81$) 3905.44$

1000$ now worth: 100104.62$

Net hashrate climbing, any way to create pool mining?
55  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Bamboo: New crypto using ED25519 signing keys on: January 10, 2022, 11:13:15 PM
Newest version of miner show 0 Net hash rate?

REALLY NICE update on the miner  Shocked

Good job on adding multithread, and periodic report!

I am the only one getting a good amount of rejected? (about 25-28% on avg)
57  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: New coin using ED25519 signing keys -- need help getting it off the ground on: December 16, 2021, 01:33:29 PM
UPDATE: Miner source code now updated to use fast SHA256 implementation lifted from : https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer
This will increase hashrate by 2x.

@Salamande: It is available via CLI and there is a wallet for Mac OSX. I think the CLI is not in perfect condition right now but if you'd like to transfer coins I can patch it up. Transactions on the network are a little iffy right now because of how the mem pool is implemented (if your transaction doesn't go through in a specified block it gets discarded). You can transact but it might require 3-4 attempts to get a transaction through. This is currently the highest priority update for me before public launch.
Mac OSX wallet:
https://github.com/mr-pandabear/panda-gui/releases/download/0.1.0-alpha/PandaWallet-MacOSX.zip

What platform are you using?




I'm using Linux for now.

Another question:

Seems like I don't get blocks anymore? Also tried the windows miner, same thing? Nothing in the last 24hr
58  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: New coin using ED25519 signing keys -- need help getting it off the ground on: December 16, 2021, 01:56:59 AM
Is there some wallet functions implemented? Ex: sending coins
59  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Dex exchange for Bitcoin with stop loss function? on: December 10, 2021, 02:13:22 AM
dYdX and Solana’s Mango Markets both has stop loss functions; but take note that these are smart contract platforms hence you are going to be using wrapped bitcoin or WBTC(pretty much bitcoin IOUs) and not actual bitcoin.

If you want to use actual “real” bitcoin, then I’m afraid you’re limited to using custodial exchanges.

Is using wrapped bitcoin still as solid as bitcoin itself? I mean I could transfer my btc ownings into wrapped bitcoin and be 100% safe?
60  Economy / Trading Discussion / Dex exchange for Bitcoin with stop loss function? on: December 09, 2021, 03:37:09 AM
I would like to put my BTC owning on a stop loss, in case of another crash. Don't really want to do it on an exchange and keep my btc unsafe for a long time.

Any good DEX for BTC that do that?

TIA
