[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[exciter0]

The problem with calling 3 instances of ethminer is that they all want to use the same DAG file and the processes crash.  There's supposed to be the --no-precompute switch that you can assign to other instances after the first instance so that they won't try to generate their DAGs but I never got this to work.

If your 6540 happens to be device 0 then it's easier... you just skip over device 0 and pass the thread switch to use devices after 0:

ethminer -G --opencl-device 1 -t 3

will use devices 1,2,3

--no-precompute doesn't work on second instance! It truing to (generate or use) the DAG.



ethminer -G --opencl-device 1 -t 3 still doesn't work cause it mine on 2 cards but when finding the share it stuck. And second time i run it it shows error.



I want to ask, who created this method of genius (--opencl-device 1 -t 3) when all miners of the world use -d 1,2,3...........

If i want to use 0,1,3 so this -t will not work ?

Why would ETH need to be converted to BTC when you can convert it to fiat (on Kraken for example)?
And if Augur guys believe in their project, they shouldn't make ETH price crash. Well, they can for a reasonable amount, and in small batches, but otherwise it's shooting on your own foot.

personally i dont get Augur. they forked an alpha ethereum after ethereum had only just been released. they are presumably gonna run a pretty centralized blockchain on software very much in its infancy. why do they not run Augur on the ETH blockchain for example? Ive tweeted at Augur but never any comments re these topics. Obv lots of people wanna make a quick buck and assume they'll sell their presale at great profit. Im not so sure its gonna pan out like that.

Ethereum could eventually host the greatest decentralized gambling site/service but Augur seems a little premature and centralized.

Augur will use Ethereum, not be a fork of Ethereum.

"Augur runs on ethereum and requires ETH tokens to run the system." In the Augur FAQ.

Mining eth, but the diff is going to the sky and price to the bottom.

The best you can do is to mine on devices 0 and 1 with ethminer -G --opencl-device 0 -t 2
Or just unplug device 2 from your system and mine on all 3

ETH mining is very fragile... miners break all the time and sometimes for no reason

If it would be so easy. 3-290 on full cover water blocks with 3-terminal so it's like impossible. I mine on cgminer sgminer bfgminer ccminer Claymore Xmr Xpm kachur and for ethminer it's ugliest realization with choosing GPU in the world.

Why I love this coin:
1. One pre compiled miner for everyone. No secret x11 miner that gets 2 times the hashrate. We are all not rainman spread the love!
2. The developers are REAL people that have ALOT of experience
3. Security
4. No plug and mine! You actually have to know what you are doing to get everything working right. I am getting about 50mhs PER 7990

What I do not like:
1. The price fall!! Why??? I know that usually coins fall in price at their beginning phases but is this just going to be another pump and dump??
2. Not enough support for the miner! I think we can get things moving a little faster on tahitis and pitcarns
3. Major variance in mining speeds. This suggests there is still some tweaking to do.

Thoughts?

I recently found this bet on bitbet.us:

  https://bitbet.us/bet/1199/the-eth-scam-wont-see-2016/

The bet is whether the price of ETH on poloniex drops below 0.001 BTC in December.

[AliassailA]

LOL bet half your euthereum it will and if you win you break even almost. And if you lose well that's good news! I have not tried this website are they trustworthy?

Edit: My miner is working great! Using catalyst 14.6 and the older ethereum miner. I actually am managing 50-55mhs per 7990 now. Non stop for 72 hours. That's 2.50$ per day per card. Or 12.5$ per unit. At about 1.3KWH@0,06c/KWh. Which equates to 300$ a month per unit taking power into consideration. Not bad IMHO 2600$ per unit per year or if we take an average difficulty and price and power into consideration that is still about 8 BTC/year. Compared to a 750 ti unit using half the power makes 2BTC/year. Also I am loving the interface!!! Keep it up devs don't listen to the forums listen to the global hashrate!

ETH is heading to lower than 50 cent levels this month.

Why? Any reasons?

This same question that I want to be answered, why the continuous down trend of ETH on the market? What fuels this bear movement to no end??

[Matt Y]

There is no reason for people to buy eth. It has no utility to support the current valuation. The only people who should own it are people who want to speculate or support a project for fun. No serious buying pressure will happen until there is utility and the chain is trusted. This can't happen until the switch to POS is made and nothing bad happens for a while. Until then, why would anyone (besides the people already in the project) put anything of serious value on Ethereum?

There is also a ton of eth being mined which will put aiddtional downward pressure on the price.

Insiders. I have some close friends who work at IBM. They are telling me to sell. So I am. Why? ...wish I knew...I dont know specifics but all I know is high level IBM employees who hold ETH are dumping. I think a big announcement is coming in October as well that is going to send ETH to new lows.

They tell you to sell - for themselves to buy cheap. It's that simple.

LOL! Blazin8888: Somewhere out there men in white coats and giant butterfly nets are looking for you. Remember you saying Vitalik would fork ETH? What BS will you spill next…?

You're talking about Ethereum, the Turing complete crypto which can do things Bitcoin simply cannot and is in the process of revolutionizing the blockchain by bringing its power to the Internet of Things (IoT), law and property and so much more? #tweether

Hello, Why hashimoto Ethereum's algo not added on NiceHash or on Miningrigrentals? ...I m asking... :-)

Hello, Why hashimoto Ethereum's algo not added on NiceHash or on Miningrigrentals? ...I m asking... :-)

We're very much interested in adding Dagger hashimoto Ethereum-based algorithm to NiceHash. We have actually already spent quite some time on researching this matter. The issue is that Ethereum want their own way with mining protocol and they only included Getwork-like protocol for mining. There is no stratum support and therefore including Dagger Ethereum-based algorithm into our service is not trivial (that's also the reason why there aren't any decent renting service available whatsoever). Basically there are two options:

1. Either Ethereum includes stratum protocol into their stack: we have already been asking the community https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/3068/stratum-support-for-pooled-mining-support-decentralization#latest -> zero response; and we've also contacted StephanTual of Ethereum, he said he will check with devs, but there was no further response. (see also here: https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/issues/43)

2. Someone writes Ethereum's Getwork-like -> Stratum mining protocol proxy. That would require some programming effort, but is doable. If this proxy would exist, then the system would work like this:

Code:

miner -> local (lightweight) stratum-proxy -> NiceHash -> any Dagger Ethereum-based algorithm pool

This would yield significant boost to any Dagger hashimoto Ethereum-based coin since NiceHash is by far the most widely used system for renting and buying hashing power.

Think about our proposals and let us know if you can find someone for the Dagger stratum-proxy job ... we're even willing to finance the development.

Missed eth ico last year.

Well, it's a good time to buy when the price is low.
ETH has not showed its power yet, but you can be sure that sometime down the road, the average joe will learn about it.

DAPPs are already a great pilar, but wait for these two ones and people will understand just how powerful is ETH:

EtherBrowser: the upcoming primary client for Ethereum, which will exist in the form of a web browser that can be used to access both normal websites and applications built on top of the Ethereum platform

Swarm: an upcoming P2P data storage protocol optimized for static web hosting that will be integrated into the EtherBrowser
