Most masternodes that are scams that is. LPC is different. The team has been really active and works towards real world adoption through partnerships with real world institutions. Unlike all the other scam coins out there, LPC has great potential and now would truly be a good time to buy.

Reach out to whom? Bitmain will never give you a "testing" unit. The Z9 ASIC has been out there for a month now and people have already posted results and reviews. Sorry to say but what you are trying to accomplish is unlikely. Please read through this thread and do the necessary research.

Coinmarketcap listing LPC would be big news and another step towards an increase in value. I would say that it would definitely be a good idea to buy now before that happens. When LPC gets listed on there who knows when LPC will be less than 500k satoshi again.

Exactly the links i was going to post. Somewhat related, you could also check out http://squirrelsresearch.com

With regards to buying from Xilinx themselves, it might not be advisable unless you are a hardcore dev/engineer. As far as i know the ones that @GPUhoarder or @senseless are already semi-custom built specifically for mining.

Very true. People should realize that now is not the time to sell LPC. This coin has so much potential that simply holding and waiting for it's true value to be realized makes much more sense. When this goes to big exchanges like binance good luck seeing LPC below 500k satoshi for sure (it will probably be 1 million satoshi++).

This question has been asked multiple times on these forums and the consensus answer seems to be that NO, now is a bad time to buy GPUs or build new mining rigs.

As far as i can recall, below is a bulleted summary of reasons why you shouldn't.

• New series GPUs are being released soon
• ASICs for the primary POW coins have been released to the public
• ETH is about to either reduce block reward or start POS
• Difficulty is climbing higher everyday

It would be interesting and helpful to the community if one of these days you report to us if and when your Z9 ASIC dies. I would certainly find that useful information and reward you with some merit or some other way if possible.

Knowing the limits on these machines and why bitmain only shipped with lower default settings is a intriguing.

This is probably one of the primary reasons why LPC's value went down. It's a good thing the LPC team was alerted and responsive to the threat. Moving forward, i am now optimistic that calling these out will lessen the scams and allow our coin to progress further.

LPC value is going back up guys. Just hold.

I partially agree that ASIC history repeats itself. It should be clear by now that getting a 1st batch ASIC is the safest way to go. However, i'm surprised to see that these Z9s are still quite profitable considering it's been more than a month since it's release. I would have expected that the daily profit would be half of last month but it's still going strong.

The early Z9 buyers got lucky and made a good investment.

Didn't notice that this was available until recently. Another yet again extremely bullish example of how much work the LPC team puts into this coin. Everything is progressing ahead with LPC and new developments come out everyday.

When more people find out about this coin we will probably never see LPC price below 200k satoshi again.

For this sole quoted reason, I avoid microinverters. Theres lots of products out there that claim to optimize your panels along with many other features, but when it comes down to it, just step back and assess your purpose for building your solar array.

My opinion is that if you are in it to offset mining electricity costs and turn a decent profit then go with string inverters. If you are a efficiency hobbyist or a green peace person then go with microinverters.

Everyday i become more amazed at how fast and progressive the LPC team works. It seems like never a day goes by without a new development or progress is being made. This is the stuff that makes coins successful. There is so much potential.

I look forward to the future of LPC. Now is a great time to buy more.

Welcome back! Great to see veterans still holding bitcoin.

With regards to automatic coins switching, i believe these are less profitable than mining the coin directly because auto-switching fees are applied every payout. So you pay double, for the payout tx fee and for the auto-switching fee. I guess these auto-switchers are useful for people who are mining at scale and don't mind the small fee for the convenience it brings.

Just part of the crypto cycle. Bitcoin value has surged the past day and as expected all other altcoins, sadly including LPC, are taking a hit. However, there is no need to panic because history has shown that in a bull market, altcoins follow bitcoin's price. As bitcoin grows you can expect LPC to grow with it as well. This is all of course outside the fact that LPC is an amazing coin with immense potential for adoption and success.

Exactly. The coinwarz eth difficulty chart is much more accurate and gives you a better picture of what is actually happening right now. I'm actually surprised that ETH difficulty hasnt skyrocketed yet. It's probably because bitmain already turned on these E3 ASICs months ago.

I believe you are referring to "stakes" not stacks. Did you restart your wallet? Make sure you have staking turned on.

That being said, bitcoin and the entire crypto market has been surging since last night. LPC's value should soon follow. Everything looks good for LPC and i love that this coin is focused on future development and partnership. LPC is a good long term buy.

Just flagging the post above as a fake news article.

The article doesn't even mention which exchanges were affected. FYI, you can always check Ethereum network congestion using https://ethgasstation.info/ and currently as of writing ETH gas price is only 1 GWEI. Thats like $0.01 for a high speed transaction.

TLDR: The article shills some other shitcoin by spreading fake news. Obvious malicious intent.

Probably not. That's efficiency level could difficult to beat. Even if lets say some we have an rx 580 (which seems to be extremely efficient at mining ETH) doing 31 MH at only 110 watts (very low voltage), you would get 186 MH/s for 810w (660w+150w because you add the power consumption of mobo, cpu, other components).

Like many have mentioned before, the E3 is still more efficient than GPUs and would have been a solid buy at $800 (first batch price).

I strongly agree. Actually, the entire LPC team (dev, marketing, management etc.) has a been doing an extraordinary job with the way this coin is being put out there. I admire the active updates and constant partnership announcements. If anything, this shows their commitment and resolve to push this coin towards the limits of success. The price is actually oversold right now and is a great time to buy more LPC.

Images and tables like these paint a clear picture of why people should start selling their GPUs. I've found that using real examples is the best way to convince someone of something. That being said, this then should make it clear that now is VERY BAD time to buy GPUs. Buying coins? Maybe. But definitely it is clear that buying mining hardware now is a big NO NO.
