dev (firesec) is much more active in the Onex Revival discord, linked in the OP (https://discord.gg/EZrX5dd)

Clears up the "phenixcoin" part of its history, wasn't sure! Good job. Might want to update the OP, that wiki link still points to cryptsy.

You'll find a lot more in the official Feathercoin forum. For a list of the major tech being worked on for the 0.13 wallet, see here:
http://forum.feathercoin.com/post/83821

When there's a new wallet or announcements from the dev(s), price goes up. When it's in-between those activities, price sags. There's a "show me" component to this, so when the next wallet update comes out you'll see better price support.

Also, there are some mining pools that auto-convert UFO to BTC on the exchange. They sell at whatever price they can because they have to, not because it makes sense.

Good lord no, haven't you seen what bushstar, xonar, and daimyo are doing? In four months they've brought UFO from 0.8 to 0.11 with 0.12 imminent, and at that rate they'll probably be caught up to bitcoin 0.16 release before end of this year. If you think that's dead, you're just looking at the current lull on the exchange between releases. Buy low and hodl, there's a lot of room to rise.

I wasn't — this was last weekend, not a few days ago. The diff a week ago was averaging 5. Since then, on the 21st-22nd it shot up to twice that. Right now diff is between 10-12, now that I look I'm only getting 26-30 a day... so no, no magic here. Hash is hash, you get what you get based on diff.

I found the best ccminer version is tried-and-true 2-year-old djm34's ccminer-sp-neoscrypt, on linux at least. I don't do Windows mining, but the releases for cuda6.5 and 7.5 are still there, however there's a possibility they might not be as good as KlausT's binaries on 8 or 9.1. Every time I've recompiled djm34 with newer cuda releases it's gotten better. Right now, djm34-sp on cuda 9.1 gives about 8% more hash/s than KlausT on 9.0 (will do 9.1 soon). Windows numbers may be similar if you can recompile.

I did a run-down of the four ccminer forks and nsgminer on neoscrypt for nvidia here on the Feathercoin UFO thread. I'm trying to update the list as I get the time.

Beg to differ — 1 small rig, 6x GTX1060 = 4.7MH/s @ 700W (6.7 h/W)  = 51 ONEX/day = ~$22/day @ 3749 sat. ($11.5K BTC)

Better than many other coins not undergoing therapy, I'd say.

Blue box within a blue box. I've seen that somewhere before...

 

I'll support it, I like revivals too.

Done.

Here's another UFO mining site trying to get off the ground, http://blockeater.shardkeeper.com
Spread the hash... I put my 4.6MH on it, lets see some others mine and support it! 0.15% fees until next month

Main https://www.coinexchange.io/market/UFO/BTC has finally returned 

A bit concerned that coinexchange.io has been completely down for most of the day now. Coinmarketcap shows that the last updated price was 27 hours ago at the time of this post.

Time to go for a second exchange. Heck, even Cryptopia would do the job...

EDIT: It would help to check their social pages... They've been getting DNS attacks, so there's a temporary address: https://www.coinexchange2.com

Dude, mining ESP you're in the wrong forum thread.

BTW with a 500MH/s network hash rate I doubt you'll get much of anything. But to answer your question, no — you have to dedicate a full thread per core. Been too long since I used cpuminer to say there isn't a way to lower nice on the mining process so it takes more of a backseat to other processes, but that would be simpler to do on linux than windoze.

BTC = 16.8M of 21M coins (80% circulation)
          — hella diff
          — $$$$ Death Star asic farms
          — 3-star Michelin filet — can't buy for love, only money honey

LTC = 54.8 of 82M coins (65%)
          — extreme diff
          — $$ large asic farms
          — Outback steak (w/bloomin onion, of course)

FTC = 188 of 336M coins (56%)
          — meh diff
          — ¢¢ casual gpu mineability
          — Whopper Junior meal

If anybody can mine FTC on the kids' gameboxes, FTC will get anybody valuation — wallet/crypto technology advantages notwithstanding.  

Matter of what your situation is. If you don't have hardware to pay off short-term, and you're not running costly, thirsty, low-neoscrypt-hashrate AMD kit (looking at you, Vega...) and have expensive electricity, it's most certainly profitable.


After I saw bushstar's announcement last August that he was coming back to work on UFO (and FTC), I immediately started mining it. 50-60K per day with a small 3MH/s rig, diff was between 0.5 and 1.5, and I could only find one active pool. It was trading between 2-5 sat for several months. Even so, it was much more profitable than any other coin by 2-3x. A secret hiding out in the open.

Now, post-halving, that little 3MH/s trooper still draws 3-4K UFO/day; at 30-35 sat that's $12-20/day. But I'm not selling. That million+ UFO I mined last fall is worth 10x now.

Question is, do you think 30-35 sat is it? No more upside? Not me, not by a long shot. Just look at the rest of the market. One can only wonder what will take the place of BTC in coming years (care for transaction fees of $100+? ), and how that transition will affect altcoins.

Then use another pool with more miners on it. Quick run-down of what's been listed in this thread, could be more I missed:

altminer.net ~30MH/s
pxc.theblocksfactory.com ~80MH/s

p2pools:
atlas.phoenixcoin.org:10554/static/ (p2pool) ~4MH/s
pxc.sytes.net:10554/static/ ~750KH/s

No miners currently:
pool.hashrefinery.com
miner-control.de
hashpool.eu

Was listed not long ago but PXC no longer appears on the site:
italyiimp.com

Completely disappeared from the internet:
sopool.us
multi.zpools.de

Apparently Cryptopia did add the nodes to their list shortly after I posted the above. Now PXC typically shows 4 connections, wallet creation no prob.

Don't hold your breath, based on his previous responses in this thread (or lack thereof even when he's been called out on it).

Nearly two weeks. Based on his last post, his wife may have something to do with it...
