1  Economy / Speculation / Re: New All Time High Baby! - $68,742.31 on: February 29, 2024, 04:14:25 PM
I agree with the general sentiment here that $60k last cycle was too fast, too soon, to expect it to hold back then, but this cycle with the ETFs (plural not singular as many were expecting back then) by big name institutions, the price has a lot more heft behind it. I think $100k to $120k is easily doable this cycle, but we may see a temp new ATH ($70-75k) high here shortly before a pull-back to $45-50k, and then making the final run-up to $100k+ after the halving.

60k possible before end of this month?

Quite possible I would say.  Wink

New question: 75k before end of March?

Not a very good system. For one, most "1 person gets a big reward" type contests usually means either you or a friend makes an alt forum account and just so happens to win the contest.

If it is not a scam and your are legit, then you would be better off splitting the reward up to get more people involved.

You could offer $25 worth of ETH (or another coin with cheaper transaction fees) to 100 people with some type of quality and quantity criteria. For example: 50 posts over a 30 day period that receive at least x amount of merit. This would work out to about 50 cents per quality post which a lot of people on this forum would take you up on.

I think we are in the very beginning of a longer bull market cycle and that is why the price is not sky rocketing like everyone seems to assume.

The Bitcoin ETF will draw in more people and money but it is not going to happen at "Crypto Speed". Keep in mind that the ETF crowd is a different group than current crypto users. They usually already have money and resources to invest and want the exposure to crypto without the risks and drawbacks. A lot of traditional financial type people warned any investors to wait a week or two after the ETF launch to decide on whether to invest as they foresaw the volatility of these initial days.

My thoughts are that long-term this will turn out to be a huge plus for BTC. As for alt-coins I think at some point the market is in for a giant re-tuning or correction. The main ones with actual useful benefits or technologies will grow and succeed, but I think at some point many of the useless ones need to be purged and future alt-coin launches will be looked at with more scrutiny from investors.
5  Economy / Speculation / Re: ETF will probably not approved yet, so BTC and the others crypto will go down !! on: January 13, 2024, 07:33:06 PM

Here we go!

Bitcoin ETF approved, and price surges past $48,000


And here we go, Bitcoin ETF approved and after a few more hours price dives below $43,000.
6  Economy / Speculation / Re: What's going on? on: January 03, 2024, 02:59:29 PM

Moreover, the SEC, by rejecting ETF, would violate the court's ruling wouldn't it?

The court's ruling was specific in that the SEC cannot "arbitrarily" deny the request.

They can still deny it as long as they have good reasons, those reasons need to be more substantial though than just the commissioners personal feelings on the subject.

You restarted because like everything else you copied from AIPG, you forgot to change the dev wallet for AIPG so all dev fees from your project were going to AIPG's dev wallet for which you didn't have the private keys lol. Don't pretend like you restarted to give people a 'fair launch'. I can't believe people are wasting time mining this.


Exactly this. A fair launch is not announced some random time without warning.

You would have been more convincing posting something like "due to technical issues we will relaunch the chain in (some future time)", with the future time being hours or days away giving people a chance to get in if interested.

I could be wrong but I cannot see this project going anywhere. If the casino portion is coded as bad as the coin, you would be a fool to send them any money.

I have rescued so many gpus by heatsink switching sometimes adding pads sometimes adding huge fans.

lots of rescue methods.

I am older and my eyes are not as good as they were back around 2005 or so. so I do not try solder fixing.

but playing around with heatsinks I can still do.

I am putting a ton of gpus back online I am back to 100 plus cards.

power is cheap so I am making decent money again.

Well thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

I had a bin of old GPUs that no longer worked for whatever reason, some didn't run at all, others had high heat issues. I have swapped fans and replaced thermal paste and pads before, but the idea of the metal heat-block being bad was one that never occurred to me. Well now I managed to save a couple more from the landfill.

yes might be liquid inside copper pipe leaked, but i dont think cause to much for rx 470 card which is low power gpu, might be some bent in mounting and die not connecting evenly in heatsink
this happen on many vegas gpu. trying to replace with new heatsink to costly for gpu already fall in price


In my case it was a RX580, but same series basically.

I did notice on this particular model (MSI Armor) that when you take the heat sink off the GPU, on the backside there is a small copper tube inset in the block with the two aluminum tubes connected one each end. I wonder if this is why this particular brand/model leaks more. I have other similar GPUs from that era that have a similar design that use solid aluminum throughout with the piping (tubes) all being one piece instead of two.

Anyway, I assume that what ever fluid they use inside these tubes, or heat pipes, boiled away over time and now they are just empty tubes of air acting more like an insulator than a conductor of heat. All that is left is the direct metal contact of the remaining portion of the heat sink which will transfer some but not all of the heat away.

Looks to be a complete ripoff of AIPG.  Huh

Too lazy to even change the links on github and logos, better stay away from this one.

Update: I see they have just now changed some of the links to point to their own project website.

try to swap the entire cooler  with the good msi armor  see if the problem follows the cooler.


Thanks for this!

I know it's an old thread (found searching on google) but I had a couple older cards laying around that for some reason ran extremely hot no matter what I did. I tried the usual things like reapplying thermal compound, cleaning dust out, running super low voltages, etc.

After finding this I swapped the entire heat-sink cooler with another that ran fine and it worked. Until coming across this post I would have never thought the cooler would be the problem, as its mainly a hunk of metal with two fans attached, which in my case the fans were good.

So is it the liquid inside the little tubes that leaks out or what? I might try my luck on eBay and buy some parts-only GPUs for the cooler portion, but how to know if they are good?

I have been mining AIPG on Rigel 1.11.0 using ravencoin for the algorithm. Is there any other benefit or improvements to updating to the new version besides now using AIPG for the algo instead of ravencoin?

KLS team asked for $30,000 and 500,000 KLS for listing where as PYI team asked  for $60,000 in total
If this is true, then both projects paid approximately the same, but do you have confirmation of this information in official sources?
safar1980 wrote about raising only $30,000, and I also saw this information in telegram chats. I can't find information about the additional 500,000 KLS.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5475916.msg63357405#msg63357405

On the KLS discord server they had the fund drive for both $30,000 and 500,000 KLS as stated above.

Fun, mining a Doge clone with Ethash. I'll mine a day or two's worth. You never know with these meme coins it might even hit a penny someday.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: karlsencoin(KLS) mining on: December 20, 2023, 07:31:10 AM
Is anyone still mining it?

According to MiningPoolStats around 35,000 miners are still on it.

I still have a few rigs on it right now. It is not as profitable as it was, but I think there is a rebound coming up.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum price before Christmas on: December 20, 2023, 02:40:32 AM
Hold in there OP, I think ETH can break above $2,500 by this Christmas. I'll even offer a bonus prediction of above $3k sometime in January 2024.
