2341  Economy / Computer hardware / [FOUND][WTB] PCIe x1 -> x16 extender cable on: April 03, 2012, 09:36:46 PM
Lookin for extender cables that cost less than they have them over at cablesareus or w/e

So, if you have a spare one let me know. Also, Id prefer molex powered over non molex power but either work.
Would like to know length as well. PM me w/ your price. Thanks

Also curious if anyone have PCI to PCIE converter cables =) that would be sweet.
Thanks

I just went and bought one =P

Yeah, it sucks tho, there is still no incentive for a miner to put above current PPS price. There is no incentive for the price ever be driven up again =/ cuz the system just penalizes those by never mining on them.
The floor, unfortunately will be whatever current PPS prices are @ other pools....really.
So, soon there will be no incentive to even mine @ gpumax given current system.

I see in OP it states gpumax makes their income from price difference between paid share and asking price of miners(when its lower obviously). If the algo doesnt even consider sending shares to miners above current cost of shares then there is that huge issue of asking price only dropping.
If the algo somehow could use a moving ratio / percentage that uses the current cost of shares as its middle ground.
GPUmax would have to be willing to lose money on sending shares to miners asking price above current cost of shares, but make money on lower asking prices than cost(maybe they do now, not sure but highly doubt it).
But this way people above current cost still get paid on their asking price every so often and people below still get paid(already happening).

Example: up to x% higher than current share cost, miners would still be paid x% of the time. miners below current cost would be paid the difference...or w/e. I dont know if it would work but yeah, its an idea.

Well, its a good thing to know bout the manual public work activation. That makes sense. No, I havent read this million page thread =P Ive been involved for the last 7 pages or so...didnt see that stated anywhere.

I shall stop moving my asking price then, unless its going up. I dont wanna drive price of shares down just cuz it seems theres no public work because pirate n staff is sleeping. I suggest everyone else that was not seeing public work do the same.

It would be nice if the site somehow showed a global public work status ... so we know when theres public work queued for execution and when theres not =)
2344  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: April 03, 2012, 02:41:03 PM
gettin public work @ .000045 again
I didnt for a while last night, but started this morning.
Maybe there just isnt public work avail sometimes guys =P
2345  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: April 03, 2012, 12:47:20 AM
I have no idea how to tell whether I am getting public work, besides watching the BTC amounts change on each worker.  And I'm not patient enough to sit there and watch it.  Is there an easier way to tell?

Also, what do the blue bars mean?

The blue bars are just relative hashrate to the previous blue bar. Sitting and watching the shares being changed on respective miners is the only way I know of that public work is being performed =)
2346  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: April 03, 2012, 12:46:24 AM
Anyone getting public work? My price is at .00005 and I'm not getting any; changing to .000045 didn't help.

Im getting public work. I wasnt a couple hours ago for about an hour. I lowered price from .000047 to .000045 and shortly after, it started public work again. Whether thats coincidence or noone had any purchased shares....thats up in the air. But yeah, doin public work now.
2347  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: April 02, 2012, 02:48:05 PM
I have a question. Now that we can see the share price fluctuate, which is also the moving average of asking price of the miners.
Whats to say the price wont keep dropping? Because I as a miner might see the average and adjust my asking price accordingly so I get the most public work(which means lower than avg price). If I and a majority of miners do this, wont the price go lower and lower and lower?
Wheres the incentive to drive it back up? Because....if you mine above average, its understood youll get less public time =(
2348  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: April 02, 2012, 02:44:51 PM
When you make a payout what time period does it cover?
The previous 24hrs I believe.
2349  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: April 01, 2012, 07:04:20 PM
Anyone else having pool communication failures on GPUmax like every 3minutes? for like 30 seconds? .. GPUmax has been doin this for like the last 1.5days =/
2350  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: March 31, 2012, 10:23:23 PM
Massive connectivity issues on miners for gpumax today =/

Cool, thats what I thought I read at one point, just wanted to be sure. Thanks
2352  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Is VGA dummy plug still needed? on: March 31, 2012, 12:56:30 AM
I dont know if one still needs to use VGA dummy plugs or not. From what I understand they are used for windows to detect GPU's if a monitor is not plugged into them? Or something?

I dont have that issue w/ my 5970 on my headless S939 mobo running win7 64. It saw the card just fine. I did have to flash bios to enforce proper GPU / RAM clocks though. But was all.
I plan on adding a 5830 to the same system. Same configuration ( headless ). Will I need a VGA dummy plug?
2353  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: March 31, 2012, 12:37:08 AM
Yeah I get the pool not providing work fast enough occasionally.
Im also curious, does GPUmax's LP not work right? Cuz I constantly get cgminer saying "new block detected on network before LP, fetching new work" type message.
Rather than the LP detected new block on network.
Its not a biggy but thats prob reason for my reject rate. (partially)

Awesome day today for shares

Yeahp, I hope the purchase(s) was huge enough to hold for a while =P
2356  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: March 30, 2012, 10:55:25 PM
So, when this goes public. Will gpumax always determine the fee they charge people to purchase shares or will buyers be able to specify what they want to purchase the shares at?
2357  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: March 30, 2012, 10:03:09 PM
Any idea how long the waiting list is right now? I just signed up a few minutes ago, and am waiting. A day? Week? Huh

When I signed up, I waited about 2 weeks, kinda gave up hope, and then after I almost forgot about it, got my invite around the third week. This was a couple months ago, so this likely may have changed, however I would expect to wait at least two weeks.

Yeah, thats about what I experienced too =)
2358  Economy / Services / Re: GPUMAX | The Bitcoin Mining Marketplace on: March 30, 2012, 07:11:47 PM
I can see the point of your spot mining contracts, but if you back up further and see it like this: If a business even has to invest into the stability of a currency to guarantee it wont succumb to attacks that could jeopardize that business - is it even worth it for the business to even use BTC to begin with?

I kind of presumed that business like a bank would act exactly in this way, regardless of the nature or issuer of the currency. I also assumed that we're talking about protection from attack moving large large sums. IRL, we move large sums of cash money with armed guards and such - I think it's likely appropriate to invest in additional security to move large sums w/ bitcoin too - no system is 100% safe Smiley

Is there a premium paid when a business sends a massive transaction through the banking system which gauruntees that transaction wont be messed w/ and the bank wont go outta business or get robbed or w/e have ya...?


Yes. While I can't ATM spot a digital service, see above note about moving large amounts of physical cash (hiring armed guards etc)  Wouldn't one think that electronic money is possibly just as susceptible to an attack as a bag of money? I would. I'm sure there was a reason that security checks were avoided when someone transferred 3 x $5trillion without a registered SWIFT note, and I'm sure whomever made the transaction made extra effort to secure it (though it appears to actually have been an "attack" I'm sure this scenario goes both ways.  

Good points, thanks for explaining that to me. Makes perfect sense!

Hey guys, would work on my public mining...the payout issue I mentioned.... would it show up under transactions in my account page...the payout? Thanks

Pool hopping.

Pool hopping return rate is nowhere near 160%, even with a custom proxy and optimized timing.
300% if the timing is perfect, but the timing window is very tight, if you miss it by 15-20 minutes, you'd get shit in return.
....especially when your purchase got activated 4-5 hours later.

used to be very reliable when there's only a few people.
300%?!?! I seriously doubt that. That depends on all hopped pools being EXTREMELY lucky and they solve blocks well ahead of the 43% diff mark.
Its practically a max of 150-160% given normal luck, if timed right. It avg's out to around 130% for hoppers using bithopper proxies.
well, one time i spent 6 btc for a last minute block boost, went thru a couple of short blocks. ended up with ~18 btc. i should probably said "up to 300%"
if you're double or triplestacking with multiple accounts, it can work even better, but if you missed the timing window...well, the loss is even greater.

i don't run it thru bithopper or any proxies btw.

That was just because luck was extremely favorable for you.
W/ statistical hopping using bithopper .. its a calculated average of a consistent 133% return. Not just a burst amount of luck as in ur case.
