Gigabyte ITX 1070 is a standard dual-width card, it's just SHORT (7" or so vs 10" more or less for most other cards).
 I've got 3 of them, and like them for my 3'd slot since most motherboards insist on crowding the 2'nd and 3'd slot close together.
 I'm amazed nobody has any RX series boards like them - I'd think Gigabyte would have done a RX 470 or 480 in the same form factor by now (TDP is very close on the RX 480 vs the GTX 1070).

 The Zotac is more like 9" - it's shorter but only by a little compared to most other cards of it's class.

 My A2 farm was paid for late last year - the past month has been a happy time though, as they were getting close to break-even shutdown time instead they're pulling in GOOD money again - for now.

 Still waiting on "upgrade plan" news though.

 Which I have already replied to a FEW of them that none of those factors seem to have anything to do with the CURE delisting, ESPECIALLY given they are not delisting FLDC.

 On the other hand, the trollbox mods seem to be treated a lot like mushrooms by Polo....

 You can still do the "merge folding" - it's just not as profitable right now as it was a week ago due to Polo's totally arbitrary stupid and reasonless decision.

 Which is exactly WHY pretty much all of my folding rigs have gone back to mining other stuff after the recent price collapse (except that I will always keep at least ONE rig pointed at folding as long as I can afford to do so).

 The joke is Polo choosing to delist CURE while keeping FLDC (which is a severe JOKE that can't even come up with it's own wallet, relies on that junk Counterparty system with it's TOTAL RIPOFF FEES to distribute, and probably COSTS some low-producton folks more to get their FLDC out of Counterparty than their FLDC is worth).

 Makes for ZERO trust in Polo as far as I'm concerned.

 ETH is probability zero, since it's going PoS "sometime soon" - though "soon" seems to keep getting pushed back.
 ETC market is probably too small to support an ASIC.

 ZEC/ZClassic/whatever that NEW forkoff thing is called perhaps. but I'm still trying to figure out what's keeping it's price out of the double-digit satoshi range like DOGE.

Still not finding "avx2miner" anywhere by that name.
dcct I think I tried at some point, the github page looked familier.
mjminer seems to be a couple-generations later merged version of dcct, don't think I've tried that one yet but I did download a copy to check out.

It's too bad the Blago miner doesn't have a Linux version, it's pretty nice now that he fixed the "always start up in the top left corner" bug.

Cure is JUST as spendable as pretty much every other altcoin - which is to say they pretty much ALL have to be converted into something like BTC, LTC, or ETH to actually be convertable into fiat or spendable on a large number of websites.

 It's not about the volume, about HALF the coins on Poloniex that had lower volume (specifically including GridCoin and FoldingCoin usually had almost identical BTC volume) are NOT being delisted.

 It strikes me as being completely arbitrary, and makes it a sad day when an act like this makes BTC-E seem MORE TRUSTABLE.

Given some of the coins Poloniex just announced it is DElisting (and some it is NOT delisting that are far more worthless coins than some it IS delisting), I'm amazed they would bother adding any new coins that almost nobody has ever heard of.

 On the other hand, given that Polo HAS announced they are planning to delist CURE even though it fits exactly NONE of their "criteria for delisting", they won't be getting ANY of my business any more if they do in fact delist CURE.
 It is particularly irritating that they would delist CURE but keep FLDC, which is a MUCH less worthwhile coin that is a MAJOR pain to deal with and doesn't even have it's own wallet - and DOES fit some of their criteria a LOT more than CURE does.

 I refuse to put up with having to use multiple exchanges, and Polo to date has NOT impressed me as being much if any better overall than the last exchange I used and got TIRED OF THE ISSUES with - now THIS stupidity.

 Problem is that the 1MB block is already limiting the maximum transactions that can happen, causing a SERIOUS backlog of transactions WAITING to happen - and that will just get worse over time 'till folks have to stop using Bitcoin 'cause their transactions never go through.

 I see this as a major long-term limit for blockchain technology unless a way is found to REDUCE the amount of data included in a transaction by a LOT, or a way is figured out to "prune" old data and old blocks out of the blockchain.

LTC, if I had to pick one.
ETH would make my list but it will have gone PoS by the time Bitcoin managed to "implode" making it impossible to mine.

Realistically though, as I'm a MINER not an INVESTOR, I target which coins are the most profitable for the most part for the hardware I currently have.

Mining uses low bandwidth, even my old 3G Cell measured connection was "fast enough" and had plenty of cap space available.

 This is a question that has been asked a BUNCH of times before, it would be nice if folks would try READING the forums before asking this sort of MANY TIMES ANSWERED question.

 I cheat - I'm ALREADY living in the land of Very Low Cost Electric, so I would not need to move.
 Forget solar, wind, and your own generators - NOT cost effective unless your local power cost is ALREADY prohibitive for mining.
 I'd probably sell enough to cover cost of rent/electric/living expenses, and use the rest to buy more hardware with 'till I get to the limit of my available SAFE power capasity, then likely hang on to the rest waiting for a price spike.

 In fairness, I suspect some of the hardware I'd buy wouldn't be crypto-specific, but would be more for something like BOINC work with the earned GridCoin just to cover the electric cost (or perhaps a SMALL profit in good months like this month when GRC is high).

You have to design a board to work with immersion cooling specifically, as a general rule, for it to work properly and reliably - and the up-front investment in the hardware AND the cooling setup isn't exactly low cost.

It can work well once it's set up, though - but it's more "large pro farms" that use it, or something like that BitFury "shipping container" setup.

 Mine were all Pacific - I have fond memories of Thailand and Hong Kong/Kowloon (sp?), mixed of the Phillipines (Subic Bay, Olongopo, and Subic City) and Japan, don't really remember the stop at Korea, and UNfond memories of the shipwreck that left us unable to make it to Singapore and the I/O planned part of our WestPac tour (I was looking forward to Australia, but NOT to Diego Garcia), instead we limped back TO Subic for patches so we could limp to Japan (Yokosuka) for temp repairs then a few months tooling around the Pacific 'till later back to Japan for a complete bow replacement.


 Ranger and the Liberia Fortune are no longer in the Guiness Book for the largest collision at sea, but we were there for a short while (got beat out when 2 of the 600,000 ton class oil tankers collided).

 Which will be similar loudness PER FAN to the Antminer S5/S7/S9 fans, same design and RPM level if not the same exact fan model.

 You have that backwards - it is the price rise that drives folks into increasing their hardware buys driving the hashrate/difficulty up, NOT the other way around.

 Litecoin though spent a several-month period prior to the first shipments of the A4 with *zero* new gear in the market available TO buy.

 The current rise in hashrate makes me suspect BitMain got some more chips for their L3 and sold another batch - coupled with Innosilicon probably selling as many A4 units as they can make now that they have the toothing pains of the first 2 batches fixed.

 ZoomHash used to sell 10 A 12 VDC power cubes for use with Gridseed 80 units, which IIRC the cube used a 2.5 while the Gridseed works with either a 2.1 OR a 2.5
