Anyone got pricing from them yet? Will update when we do.

There is no hash rate announcement. So it is quite risky to pay deposit now.

I feel that the bad time for this market is over now and a new wave of buying will come in this market and we will see ETH go much faster than other coins because its drop was very big.

Check and compare the graphs of the cryptocurrencies published in CoinMarketCap site. You will see that Ethereum is not the biggest loser. Many other altcoins managed to lose much more.

Bitcoin Cash lost more than ETH in the last month. But it also come back more in the last few days.

I wouldn't mind if that split just spells the end for both of them. That whole BCH community is so toxic. Pretending like BCH is Bitcoin and whatnot. Even the BCH developer who recently wrote an article about how BCH devs screwed their blockchain with bad choices in the wake of the split pretended that BSV is Bitcoin. I have a few BCH but I wouldn't mind losing that money and seeing both BCH offshoots shrink to nothing - and seeing that charlatan Ver lose much of his crypto riches would be hilarious, dude is a plague on the crypto space.

Only Craig Wright and Kevin Ayre said BSV is Bitcoin. Most of us do not agree.

4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 8th Alt coin thread. Or what to do now that asics are all over the place. on: November 25, 2018, 11:29:50 AM
purchased a little btc today not much

Yes it's a great price to buy some BTC, even if it turns out not to be the bottom. It has reached the point where I've shut down most of my rigs and will just buy certain coins with fiat because the prices right now are at a bargain compared to beginning of 2017.

I know some prefer mining because they got low electricity rates and it seems like a safer alternative than buying the coins outright but you need to understand that what-if next month the coins all start to rally. Then the difficulty will go back up again because everybody will turn on their rigs and you will miss out on acquiring a fair amount of coins.

I've actually never thought we would see the day of ETH at pretty much $100 a coin again. Took me basically forever to mine an ETH with my current rigs, rather just sell 1 GPU and buy 1 ETH.

I grabbed .15 btc  and have more cash set aside if we go under 4000

Looks like we both bought in a little too early. Really surprised at the speed of this decline without a decent bounce even. I assumed we would at least test $5000 or the old yearly low at $5800 but it goes down, trades sideways for a bit and continues going lower.

ETH might break $100 in the next few hours even.

Is the drop due to the saying by Calvin Ayre that they will give up on the Bitcoin Cash, and concentrate on the Bitcoin version of the Satoshi Vision? So he will wage a war against Bitcoin instead of Bitcoin Cash? That could damage more to the bitcoin itself.

Don't think it would make the coin completely ASIC resistant. Remember dark-coin with its X11 algo? In 2014 everybody assumed that an ASIC could never be designed for X11 because it has 11 different algo combined into one.

If they wrote 24 different algos and changed them every 10 days, then they would just design a similiar ASIC which can switch algos when the switch happens. Most likely they won't do it due to the small miner reward but if it was a coin like ETH or BCH that switched to this algo then you would see there would be ASICs being designed for this.

I agree. The PoW has to evolve so that it is ASIC resistant. If it is fixed, no matter how many, ASIC can be built for it.
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Windows 10 and AMD adrenalin 18.5.1 on: October 24, 2018, 09:15:43 AM
I have upgraded to the latest Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 and installed the adrenalin 18.5.1. However, in the Global setting of the AMD setting panel, I cannot find the graphics workload panel. Any reason for that? So I cannot switch to compute mode.

Shall I have a clean install of the Windows 10?
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU Mining Is NOT Profitable In My HOUSE - October 2018 Mining Farm Update on: October 13, 2018, 03:25:36 PM
You must have really high electric rates. At $.095/kwh its still profitable for me but i'm not selling. Now is the time for accumulation.

Most people in Europe will pay around double of that figure. So it is not profitable for them.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3 on: September 30, 2018, 04:08:05 PM
Hello Claymore. I would like to know if this can mine Cryptonight-heavy for Loki and others; and also Cryptonight v7 for XCASH and others? Because when I tried it with Cryptonight v7 it gets rejected.

We also need Cryptonight v8
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Which Algo will be hit next by ASICs ? on: September 14, 2018, 10:30:52 AM
Lyra2REv2 already has ASIC in China.
Lyrz2Z have been mined by FPGA here since a year ago. ASIC is just a matter of time and profit.

If that is the case, they should change the PoW. It has been changed already previously.
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.9 (Windows/Linux) on: August 30, 2018, 05:23:42 PM
If you look at Ethereum difficulty chart, you will clearly see that it still is a GPU coin.

Lots of equihash coin miners have switched to Ethereum. Even with that difficulty chart is linear.

90 day difficulty increase of Ethereum is 8.42 % vs Zcash with 83.12 %. That %83.12 is ASIC effect.

That is right. It is still profitable to mine ETH with nVidia cards. although the profit is very small.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mining Unprofitable - What next? on: August 16, 2018, 11:37:11 PM
There are over supply of GTX Cards in the market. I highly suggest to sell it the lowest price possible(Competition Wise). Because you'll never knew the next day, the price you're trying to sell it, looks over price to others. I'm one of GTX 1070 holder here that has been selling it for month. No luck at all.

I will keep my cards as there could be a sudden rise of mining profit if the market turns.
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Good time to buy GPUs? on: August 01, 2018, 08:21:06 AM
I stays as I do since 1.5 years. Cant decide to buy GPUs. Dont know really, ROI is too high for a long time.When I bought my 1070s, ETH roi was 5-6 months(electriticy except). Now, terrible times.

When I bought GPU for mining, the ROI was about the 6-9 months. Then the coins price rose a lot, the ROI became 3 months.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Good time to buy GPUs? on: July 22, 2018, 10:57:20 PM
Well, when you can get a good deal on GPU then I'd say go for it. I have seen GPUs being sold here at a really great price, tbh the price has been so low that you could make some easy money reselling it later Wink.

I see a point in mining if your electricity is really cheap or even free.

I think it mainly depends on the electricity price. If it is low, buy some GPU.
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][ZEN] ZenCash: Private, Secure, Resilient CryptoCurrency with zk-SNARKs on: July 06, 2018, 09:49:04 AM
As you said, achieving ZenCash's goals is a long-term process.But as long as the project continues to grow, it will have a future.

that is right. It seems the ZenCash has a lot of secure nodes, over 13,000 at present.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How do I find the next big thing like Bitcoin? on: June 23, 2018, 06:26:42 AM
Is there a need to search for it? The most obvious one for me is ETH, difficult to talk about other ones. And also I seriously doubt that a big project like BTC/ETH will appear in nearest years.

I think both ETH and BCH have good potential.
16  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2018-06-06] Vietnam Proposes Import Ban on Bitcoin Mining Equipment on: June 08, 2018, 09:57:20 PM
At present, they have not banned the import of diggers into the country and it is possible to increase the price of electricity for digging farms.
They do not prohibit bitcoins and other types of altcoin but do not recognize them, they prohibit the use of bitcoin as a means of payment.
For example, if you buy a house where you use bitcoin to pay, it is illegal to use vnd to pay

Is it better to trade than mining in that country?
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How do I find the next big thing like Bitcoin? on: May 24, 2018, 04:39:43 PM
Hello guys can we please share some  strategy on how to dictect some big trending coin early just like discovering bitcoin in 2014!!!

It's very simple to say but very hard to do. The answer to your question is by research. But just like bitcoin, you should accept first that you need to wait for a few years to see it's full potential and not only by months.
Nowadays a lot of coins even if you check in coinmarketcap the top coins is in the list. Yes it is hard to catch the coin to be the next big thing so as to be very simple we should search on your preferred coins that are worth it. So always search on the development and follow the project to be aware of.

It is quite difficult to find the good coins. So it is better to get the top 10 mineable coins.
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: who bought bitmain Z9 will face a big issues now on: May 15, 2018, 04:45:45 PM
what if an algo or new stuff (whatever it may be called) is created that it hashes by rendering-> the kind of work where GPUs excel over ASICs and FPGAs...

Rendering is really not that much different from hashing different algos.

Even if there was a similiar algo like that, it would still be possible to create an ASIC.

After Sha256 got ASICs, Scrypt was created by the Litecoin dev as a way to keep it GPU mineable only.

I think it was more intensive than Sha256 but a few years later ASICs came out for that too.

Same with Dashcoin which was based on the X11 algo which was also suppose to be ASIC resistant.

So Equihash and DaggerHash are no different.

The only difference is that the DaggerHash is more GPU resistant.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3 on: April 26, 2018, 07:15:23 AM
How can I configure Claymore to restart automatically in case of failure or that the miner stops working?
I await your answers, thanks

use -WD 1
-r 1

Trends and the tech behind the coin. I dont know the next bitcoin, but I already know the next Ethereum. Look into Ardor. It already has a true and proper working product not just a promise. It basically does everything Ethereum does but better with more advanced tech. Going to be huge and thats where I keep most of my investment.

It is very possible that today's Bitcoin Cash is like 2 years ago's Bitcoin. So you can buy some if you think it has potential.
