Good time to buy another 10k WAVES?

In 2 weeks Baikal will have stock so good luck with your overpriced miners

And you think one-off customers will get any of those units Smiley cute. Let me know how that works out for ya. (outside of the obvious fact that I doubt 'kncfun' has any idea of when they will get stock)

Just emailed them. They replied with "Hi. I think it is true".

Take that however way you want
463  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] 6 GPU for $620 total, or $120 each, shipping included in price. on: April 07, 2017, 02:56:19 AM
The following are currently for sale:

(4) GIGABYTE Radeon R9 380 4GB
(2) PowerColor PCS+ Radeon R9 380X 4GB

They are in excellent condition and are in a controlled environment.

Willing to sell each for $120 (Shipped), will only ship in USA. I am currently located in Bay Area, California if anyone wants to do local pick up.

Or willing to sell all 6 GPU at a discount of $620 (Shipped). ($100 discount)

They are packaged and in anti-static bags ready to be shipped. I upgraded my cards to RX480's and no longer need these.

Let me know. Thanks.


PM'd you

What hashrate are you getting for the miners

Now that Jihan and Bitmain have been outed as exploiting a vulnerability in Bitcoin's PoW and that SegWit would have made it impossible for them to continue exploiting this vulnerability the motivations for blocking SegWit and supporting BU have now become very clear. We're going to see a shift in SegWit support in Bitcoin very soon and LTC is also helping here by activating SegWit first. I can see some more room up for Litecoin until around 0.02 or $25, but this will change as soon as Bitcoin starts to make progress towards activating SegWit as well and people start moving back into BTC. If you think BTC will stay behind and never activate SW or LN you are sorely mistaken. Let's see what happens and see who turns out to be right.

We can't get 95% to activate SegWit on Bitcoin without Bitmain's approval. They have every right to protect their patent's value.

We can't lower the 95% threshold for Bitcoin, because it will cause too much risk and wild price swings.

Also we shouldn't be putting such experimental shit on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is supposed to remain reliable.

Sorry Bitcoin will remain unmodified, as Satoshi (aka Nash) intended its equilibrium game theory to be a clusterfuck of politics insuring the immutability of the protocol which is what gives Bitcoin its trust and value.

wait...
if his asicboost is rendered invalid, doesn't that make all his ASIC+asicboost hardware useless ( totally useless) ?

As I understand the whitepaper, yes it would because the logic gates for avoiding the optimization have been eliminated which makes it 20% more efficient.

All those who own Bitmain hardware for mining SHA2 coins, must fight SegWit.


Couldn't bitmain release new ascis in order to control the script market as they have aha-256

I could do 140ea on the 3 MSI's from phillipma, the other 3 cards cost me more so I can't.

I got the limit from trying to run them, possibly a bios limitation...phillipma confirmed it and said he'd had or heard of mixed success with 480's added...ask him if you need specific confirmation of his thoughts on the matter so I'm not paraphrasing.

I was however able to get an Nvidia card to run as a 5th gpu in the build...but not a 5th and 6th...possibly a motherboard limitation.

That's unfortunate. Is that for any kind of 470? I doubt it's a motherboard limitation as, to my understanding, many can handle 6 gpus

$1 in 2020/2025 is realistic

25bln marketcap without new mined coins, right? Lol
What about btc then? 3522580426624226 dollars?!

Did not take into account new mined coins.
How long have you been in crypto? Doesn't sound like much.
Many coins have gone up 1ks percentage wise. Some even 1M %.
With good development 1$ is a very real possibility.

What would be the best move?

To buy script miners

Or

Use the money to buy ltc ?

Buy LTC directly, right now you can buy ASIC and expect ROI in 6 months... however that doesn't account for all the ASICS coming online and rise in difficulty level In my basic calculation with a simple 6% rise in difficulty you would never recover your money and start to lose against the cost of electricity by Day 190 where you will lose money.

Now keep in mind in the above calculation it doesn't account for rise in LTC prices or any other variable, or ASIC getting down or not working where you have to send it back for service etc.

Just my 2 cents.

I used following calculator https://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/calculator

That calculator is apparently assuming that the supply of ASICs is not constrained, but apparently it is constrained, so the difficulty will not rise commensurately with the price. The demand should rise faster than the manufacturing supply can keep up with, if you miners are calculating correctly.

Thus buying A4s should be highly profitable. Can you re-run your calculation with a presumption that difficulty doesn't rise more than 25% and prices rises to $30 then tell us what is a better ROI buying LTC or buying an A4?

It would be much better to buy A4s and help push Litecoin to Scrypt activation, otherwise BU's Jilian Wu may end up crashing this endeavor.

I suspect no more A3s will come to market any time soon.

I bet Julian Wu has commandeered all his applicable resources to mining LTC and dumping it on exchanges to try to defeat the SegWit activation:

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/difficulty

The LTC miners I had linked to say that he pulled all the supply of A3s off the market so he could mine with them.

Smart money hopefully continues to eat up all the LTC he dumps and hopefully the supply of A4s available is sufficient to overtake Julian's A3 manufacturing rate.


It is interesting to compare March 11 to today:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170311190046/https://www.litecoinpool.org/pools

The largest percentage gainer of significance which not signaling SegWit is Antpool which is run by Bitmain, i.e. Jilian Wu. So that is probably clearly Bitmain using their A3s as a weapon instead of selling them into the free market.

LTC1BTC is the other antagonist with significant gains in hashrate.

So those are two main enemies that have to be defeated.

Note Litecoinpool which has nearly doubled their hashrate and they signal SegWit.

The fight is on!


There's also the high probability that a bitmain may release another miner

Yes if difficulty rises 25% but prices goes up to $30 (which is a possibility with momentum and segwit activation) You will breakeven in 57 days so yes A4 or L3 are better investments.  Assuming Price goes to $30 but bare in mind if you have to wait a whole 1 month for your Asics to arrive thats a loss of mining time and almost work 75 Litecoins mined or $750 @ $10 per Litecoin.

If you were to buy $2000 worth of litecoins @ $9 so approx 222 LTC coins @$30 per lite coin you are looking at $6660 or profit of $4660 it will take you a lot longer to recoup that with mining almost 250 days with difficulty rising. so maybe just maybe buying Litecoin is better option than getting a A4.

As always you can hedge your bet buy $1000 worth of Lite coins and order A4 for $899 which mines at 136mh/s from eastshore


Long story but the L3 would start mining tomorrow.



 How long would ltc maintain that level ($30)

How long would it take. People have been saying ltc will pump since November

I have 6 of them but 3 don't match...what's your budget?

Where would shipping be to?

edit: I guess it's hard to put more than 4 470's in a rig though. apparently you can mix 470's with 480's to bypass this limit

Southern SAN Diego

I just saw your post. If I buy all 6 would you do $140?


Where did pi get that limit from?

If people are  stupid enough to dump their waves because of crowdfunder they deserve to miss out.

I'll be buying into your sell orders   Grin



I have to admit though being in both stratis and waves.


Stratis has done much better

Proportionally, but Stratis has been manipulated up on the shenanigans fueled exchange we know as ((( Poloniex ))) while Waves has been deliberately kept low, but it's a case of tortoise and the hare and Stratist has upped already, Waves hasn't even begun to pump yet, once we break out it's going to go up and go up fast.

I am impressed they've actually achieved what they have in the time they have to be honest, as Sasha said in his Forbes interview you can't solve problems in crypto by always throwing money at it.

I am blown away that people would even compare Stratis to Waves by saying "look at the price, goy" as opposed to actually looking at the product.

It's like looking at a Bentley and an Alfa Romeo side by side with the same price tag and saying "I'll take the Alfa it's quicker off the mark" without any thought for quality or value for money.

I'll hold onto my Waves and my shares in the platform and Stratis and their trolls (who obviously feel threatened by Waves) can fade into insignificance for all I care, Stratis will be offering Sasha shekels to be listed on Waves' DEX in due course, and WCT holders will get those shekels.

*ALL YOUR BASE BELONG TO WAVES*

Stratis is far from a shit coin. Same potential as waves

In fact holding both is a very smart move

Ah, Seems the going rate for them should be ~350 each plus 100 for the PSU? That seems to match what they have been selling for on ebay when I check the "sold" button in the search box... 450 * 3 = 1350... What am I missing?

This isn't ebay

Do you expect ltc to hit $100(?) and stay at price or just a pump asdash?
