8th Alt coin thread. Or what to do now that asics are all over the place.

[adaseb]

Never liked Eth  once they did the fork to roll back the huge theft It got 2 coins stuck in a wallet I have on a mac mini.

I have never been able to get the wallet to synch.  It simply reaches the fork date  and freezes.  Even with  a 2tb ssd it wont go past that point.

Never got a good solution  for it.  I email and pm'd them  there were 3 or 4 of us with the issuse one guy had 6 coins stuck another had 11.

So I simply  gave up on the coin.  When it got over 1000  I spent days trying to free the wallet up  and simply a no go.

Now it is around 287.50    so  I pretty much think it will tank to under 200 soon.

Hi phill
If you have you keystore file you can unlock your wallet via myetherwallet and then move your coin

I have 2 or 3 hdds cloned.

I ran into trouble with this because I used eth core wallet on a mac mini and I had to try it in mac os.

when it happened it was 2 coins at 10 bucks each.  I did 3 or 4 fixes all a no go.

Said fuck it.  two or three days lost.

When it was over 1 k I spent more then 10 days and   after many tries I said f it.

At this point I am not even sure I could find the correct wallet/ core on the right back up hdd.
So as far as I am concerned Eth owes me 2k  since I really worked at it back then trying to free the wallet.

I know I would have  cashed out if I freed the coins  So their decision to do the fix of the flaw/dao ripoff cost me money.

So I kind of root against the coin  as I know the developers are not going to fix my issue which they caused .

I supposed if they did not do what they did I would have  not let the coins lay around and grow up to 1k .

So it is not the end off the world.

All you need to do is start the program and write a rawtransaction and use a block explorer like Etherchain and just post the transaction.

I had to do this also because the chain was very long and even after buying an SSD, I couldn't get it to sync.

You just start it, unlock your wallet, write a raw transaction and then take that hash and broadcast it using any of the ethereum block explorer.

If you need help... let me know.

So if eth is reducing blockreward to 1 eth/block then won't half of the network jump off? Maybe not jump off but a tuned polaris at 0.1$/kw will barely break even.

Anyone see the news / rumors for the antminer d3 that was converted to mine WTC? Wild stuff

Anyone see the news / rumors for the antminer d3 that was converted to mine WTC? Wild stuff

Would have been great if you could share the link to the source. Don't know if it's my internet proxies or something but i can't find any news on google.

That being said, it would be interesting to find an alternative purpose to our D3s. Currently all my antminer D3s are already shutdown, collecting dust, or are on sale for very much less the original price i bought it for. Bitmain really screwed us over with this D3.

EDIT: Saw a hint to D3-WTC mining through this link:

The rumor is that it will be a modified X11 algo..... that would mean a stock D3 wont work..... until someone works on perhaps a firmware upgrade for the D3s.

personal.unlockAccount(eth.accounts[0], "YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD")
eth.signTransaction({ from: "SOURCE_ADDRESS", to: "DESTINATION_ADDRESS", value: YOUR_VALUE_IN_WEI, nonce: 0 })

The nonce is basically which output transaction you are going to perform. If its the first time sending from that address then use 0, if its the second time, then use 1. If you cannot find this then go to a block explorer and click the last transaction and it will list the nonce, so you just need to increment 1 and it will work. If you use the wrong nonce the nodes will reject the transaction.

Take that raw transaction ID and use any ETH block explorer to broadcast it.

Try with a small amount first in case you screw up, keep in mind ETH doesn't have an error checking for wrong addresses so make sure you are sending it to the correct location.

citronick. . pretty off topic but I'm finally watching fairy tail and I now know that your avatar is awesome haha

Are you still plugging away w/ your farm, have you hedged and sold off gear, and what have you done with your ETH holdings -- if I remember you were a pretty big holder of ETH


Also do people think WTC is more scammy or less scammy than before?

Hi Vosk - enjoyed your latest vids and also Miss Vosk's Z9 Mini review.

That avatar was born during my entry to crypto in 2015 thanks to kano and -ck during their hey days.

On WTC, we did quite well in WTC in the early days of ICO but was trading the coin - in and out - no mining.

My group's traders rarely hold coins long term, with exception of a few that turned out to be gems like VEN/VET, Nano, ONT and BNB.

I didnt know about the WTC mining part until a few months ago but decided not to followup since the way their mining app is setup is quite dodgy - mostly likely scam like all other 99% ICOs out there.

All of my group's ETH holdings harvested in 2015-2017, were fully divested in 2017 at 400$, 700$ and 1k$ - thank God we did that before it tanked.

My group's 2.2PH BTC mining operation will cease by Sept (including L3+,D3) - however we will retain a small ASICs farm (ZEC and XMR) and a scaled down Lyra2rev2 farm.

We will be focusing on our buy/sell/trading operations ... and mining will be likely a small part of our operations moving forward.

[adaseb]

I think that is what most of us will start to do. Basically miners who become traders.

Mining revenue is very small compared to the massive gains that you can make with leverage BTC trading and alt trading.

Yes you can easily lose all your investments but if you got lots of capital and can take small risks and big rewards it will be more profitable than mining.

Especially now since the ETH dev might lead to another issuance reduction and even less profits for miners.

We use a lot of USDT and BNB pairs to trade and hold during bear markets.

At the end of Feb this year, mining revenues dropped to below 25% of overall operations.

Gone are the days when GPUs like 1080tis were king of the hill - 2017 was the best year for miners.

I found my notes on how to do this. This is assuming you are using geth

personal.unlockAccount(eth.accounts[0], "YOUR_WALLET_PASSWORD")
eth.signTransaction({ from: "SOURCE_ADDRESS", to: "DESTINATION_ADDRESS", value: YOUR_VALUE_IN_WEI, nonce: 0 })

The nonce is basically which output transaction you are going to perform. If its the first time sending from that address then use 0, if its the second time, then use 1. If you cannot find this then go to a block explorer and click the last transaction and it will list the nonce, so you just need to increment 1 and it will work. If you use the wrong nonce the nodes will reject the transaction.

Take that raw transaction ID and use any ETH block explorer to broadcast it.

Try with a small amount first in case you screw up, keep in mind ETH doesn't have an error checking for wrong addresses so make sure you are sending it to the correct location.

That's very useful, thanks.
however, if I have a keystore file from geth, can I simply use myetherwallet and point it to that keystore file?
one can even use it offline, generate a raw transaction, then broadcast it?

What does interest me is how different were wtc and d3 algos.

 and that you can flash over the d3  with WTC

Yes you can use MEW offline but with the amount of bugs and scams pointing to fake MEW sites, I just did it the old fashion way because I knew it would be secure.

This was actually for cold storage, so I needed it to be bullet-proof and I didn't really trust MEW at that time.

But yes you can download MEW, verify the hash of the download, and run it offline on some Ubuntu Live CD. And then just copy that hash to an online computer to broadcast it.

If you are mining ethereum or its forks with gpus and have a github account you ahould flood this post
by the eth devs and asic shills discussing reducting block reward only, or forking Asics and reducing blook reward.
So far most of the support serms to be for Asics.  They are discussing all this in a meeting tomorrow so leave your imput as gpu miners.

catch 22.... the eth devs can basically choose whom they want to get bigger alongside themselves....

there may be more to it than just whats on the surface and we are told about/aware of.



The eth time bomb keeps getting pushed back;   why?

the reward halving that was an original part of the ETH plan has changes oah so many times.


There are agendas;  and we need to think long and hard about what they truly are, as well as what their ultimate focus is.


Its safe to say its based around greed and the need/want for more.    This can be a bad thing;  as it already has turned out to be quite a bit in recent days.

It is basically a dictatorship I never liked the coin once they did the rollback I guess I simply don’t think much of them.

I do like the monero developers as they are going to fork again.

Agreed on both counts. I've got a few ETH left but I think I might use them to buy other coins instead.
Currently have my AMD rigs on moneroocean (using SRBminer to auto-switch between Cryptonight-based algos, and exchanging to XMR). Quite happy with that solution atm.

Just read about Bridgecoin too - kinda like the fact you can participate in the decentralised platform of Crypto-Bridge, stake your coins, receive 50% of the profits of the exchange with a boost of up to 100% if you hodl for a year. DEX is the future I think, and Crypto-Bridge has grown nicely over the last few months.
