[ANN] Ethereum: Welcome to the Beginning

[yns1971]

price ETH will go to 0.03btc 

do you have any reliable source of this news?

Look at the symbol he put at the end of the sentence. That is just very wild speculation. Nothing more.

Now the price is 0.02929

on coinmarketscap today, ETH dollar volume is nearly 60 percent of BTC dollar volume : increasing slowly...!

Amazing. I get the feeling more of Wall St. and such want in on ETH  than on BTC (as the latter is still a bit stigmatised.)

Any word on Ethereum capping the emission some after going to POS or are the plans to keep the emission high?
I just can't imagine they do keep them high, it dilutes everyone and is not really a help keeping gas prices low. (Can just adjust those)

It is amazing you don't understand the real reason behind. Wall St understand quite well that ETH is not a threat to their parasitic business. BTC is their real enemy.

Wow..300k is nigh. I knew this would blow up, but didn't have the coin (pun intended) at the time to enter the rocket ship.

Incredible. Starting to get my head around The DAO and its implications. Could ETH be the new Bitcoin on steroids?

At this rate ETH will soon overtake Bitcoin as Number One.

hello guys, been out of the mining scene since august but looks like gpu mining is once again profitable !

i still have 6 x 290's + 2 x 7900 + 3 x 6900's

does anybody know where to start ? any mining software + a pool recommendation would be greatly appreciated !

I have a small amount of hashing going on here: http://dwarfpool.com/eth
Get your miners going and once things are stable you can try tweaking a bit and also setup a local proxy for a bit more speed. My advise though, is to get things going so you have a stable base point before going on.

do you have any reference that tells how much mh/s i can get from my hardware and how to configure them correctly ?

i already started mining with a couple of 290s just to try it out, getting around 47 mh/s without tweaking any settings, is that okay for a 2 290s ?

i'm also mining on dwarf pool, man i feel so rusty haven't mined in ages now !

also what do you mean by setting up a proxy ?

One in every seven ethers is tied up in the DAO. It will be a spectacular price implosion.

Pretty much and I don't think Wall st. likes to be #2 to anything. They can take ETH where they want to. Let the techies do their thing and Wall St. the marketing.
Still think BTC is going to be huge, just a different animal.

Bitcoin is to email what Ethereum is to text messaging. Both have their uses but text messaging blew up with the cel phone market. I have a feeling Ethereum will do the same shortly.

I have two 290s getting around 50-something MH/s so that sounds good to me.
What I wrote earlier, once you have got things up and running, check the tweak that are published on the dwarfpool site. There is also a proxy that you can run for a 10-20% speed boost. it's trivial to setup, just read carefully through the instructions and change the defaults to suite your needs. Eg, change eth address, ip, ports etc. Otherwise, tweak some settings for your cards and see what they give in terms of performance. But each card normally gives about 25 MH/s or so.

I had a dream... 100$ per ETH! Dream going to be reality I like it. ETH is so undervalued.

I'm getting around 20 MH on my old 7950's. I thought I could do better, but it seems about right if the 290's are getting 25mh.

@corather you could try running a proxy too if you are using dwarfpool. At least for me it gave me an additional 10-15% or something like that.

[vapourminer]

hmm my eth-proxy is ok, my .bat worked in the past and I have modified nothing and my sapphire nitro r9 390 (that I bought just to offset the price, eth can of course tank without warning).

at nanopool with ethminer. the card spool up under load normally.

so lemme tell you a story. it stopped mining (DAG has read/write permission, the are 3 now DAGs in the default ethminer folder. and it spooled down for many hours at many different times in the past several days. so i know it stopped mining. internet is fine.. should I be worried?

its spooled up now and working..normal is 1040mhz clock 1500 mem (that is default setting for nitro)  @ 31 gh/s

I am, it's running smoothly.

most of the time.

Hmm I have two boxes running 24/7 many weeks without hiccups (only 1 gpu per machine). Have you checked that the psu is OK? Temperatures are within normal operational range?

I used to have a rig with old busted up crap (3x old 290s) mining away and it restarted 1-x times every day. I never found the cause before it completely died, but I think it may have been the gpus where faulty, crashing the drivers and bringing the rig down. In the end I think all equipment died, all except cpu and ram, but everything else stopped working.

Every time the machine crashed it needed to create new DAG files. But mostly I had to delete the old ones prior to starting the rig, otherwise it was mining 0 MH/s at full blast.

Less Ethers available = scarcity = continued chain reaction when the implications of The DAO filter through to public perception.

You persistently troll this thread with negativity. Why?

Are you threatened by the rise of Ether?
Please don't give me any crap that you are doing this as a public service. You are coming across as a self-interested prat.

[croTek4]

Ethereum coming for number 1 market cap. watch.

[motorhead89]

I believe ethereum will be the new bitcoin in the future.

[speaktome]

The DAO giving vitamin E to ETH.
