If all miners were running 1 gpu each, nobody would give a fuck about the mining costs probably but that's not how it is.

Ye well... that's what I remember mining be like, a hobby for enthusiasts, not a game of greedy people where each one tries to outmatch the other.
We've end up with a system that's cannibalising itself.

When cryptocoins were supposed to empower the people equally, the mining business has ended up making rich people richer again. A lot of money have gone/are going out of the ecosystem and into (1) GPU manufacturers and re-sellers, (2) electricity providers and the most evil of all, (3) ASIC manufacturers who overcharge their products, many of which never reaching ROI for holders.

I was kinda happy with the bear market because all the greedy people got punished, maybe with the next bull market people will have learnt their lesson and won't rush to waste money in anything other than buying their favourite coin. Unfortunately, if GRIN's difficulty to go higher in price is an indicator, it seems we still have GPU farms mining for the sake of paying their electricity.
I guess this bear market has still some way to go!

Bolded, You give them far too much credit.

lmao i see this garbage is still going.

What is your major malfunction ?

He has a shitcoin and is butt hurt.

A shitcoin? He's got lots of bags.

Shit coin does not have chances to add into the payment methods of the forum by theymos.
There is no chance for shit coins.
Even good altcoins, like Ethereum, DASH, Monero don't have chance to be used as forum payment for Copper Membership.
Only shitty Grin coin has such unbelievable chance
In other words, Grin coin is abnormal shit altcoin.

Very true, he's involved in tons of scam coins. I only remember one he was a dev of thou, I really don't keep up on all those shit clones unless someone PM's me to check it for a scam, he could be dev of a few for all I know.

He's been on my ignore for years so basically all I see is when someone quotes him.

Thought this coin had vaporized itself before the book of revelation was composed and sold to the adherents of Archimedes-inspired Antichrist movement in the lands of apocalyptic desert populated by crow feet tribe, the last of tribes confirmed to be scions of primitive construction builders, involved in the rebellion against Antichrist in the beginning of third millennium BC

[e-coinomist]

Profitable really?
I can even not mine the coin with my graphic cards 4 GB in mem.

GRIN is a lot more profitable to mine than other GPU coins.

It's memory hard. Tried mining as a test on an older desktop festuring Intel I3 and two cores.
The mess looked like that: 20 minutes runtime and not a single share. CPU half idle.
Would installing more memory make any sense for this desktop? Don't know what else to do with that board, besides the garbage can.
GRIN seems to be unsuited for CPU mining.

If GRIN constitutes as just the last try to rescue unprofitable, outdated GPU mining rigs ... GRIN would be doomed. There is no future for GPU miners. Ethereum has been their last option.

Grin coin is one of the hottest altcoins in the last three months since December of 2018.
As your evidence shown, it is not a good choice for miners, especially miners who own outdate rigs.
I have rigs, but can not mine it, and I thought it's more realistic to buy and trade Grin coin on exchanges, rather than wasting electricity to mine it (at least with my outdate mining rigs)

There is something more behind this than a cryptocoin trying to copy bitcoin's cypherpunk roots. There might be whales and cryptocoin companies supporting the project.

However, do also listen to theymos' prediction of Grin to be as low as $0.50.

Maybe not necessarily 'mem hard' - at least not in the sense of how taxing it is on memory (compared to some other algos.) But certainly requires a large memory footprint, I believe 6.5GB is minimum, unless you go w/ the 'lean' option (never tested personally.)  This def is not suitable for CPUs.  It's not even the last great hope for GPUs med-long term (at least anything less than 12GB), as it's designed to completely transition over to the c31 branch w/in 2 years - generally considered the domain of ASICs.  Short term, GPUs might get some value (esp team green) but for team red you are basically correct - ETH is the best option, at least until the upcoming XMR fork kicks off the bots/asics/whatever again.

Have you noticed any difference while mining either the 29 or the 31 variant and having ETHlargement Pill on?
For 29 I haven't noticed any difference with my 1080ti under Windows 10. For the 31 I haven't managed to try it since I don't know how to run the Pill in Linux.

On their GitHub (https://github.com/admin-ipfs/OhGodAnETHlargementPill) the readme ("prescription" lol) is asking us to unzip the .gz file, but I don't see any .gz file.
There's a "OhGodAnETHlargementPill-r2" without any extension but I don't know how to run it in Linux.
I could keep trying and eventually figure it out, but I was hoping that someone might have tried it and could tell me if there's any change or how to run the ETHpill.

[Cryptotourist]

ETH pill works only for ETH (or ETHhash algo related coins).
You can try it easy, start mining ETH and then run the pill to see the boost.
I haven't seen it affect any other coin so far.

Seems to have moved, but the executable for Windows can be found included in some releases such as:

There are so many markets available now but that exchange has very low volume as compare with others. I think Coinall and Bittrex are more better choice as per my experience.

I think that the ETHlargement pill is changing something with the way the card is handling the memory, in theory it should affect memory-intensive algorithms which work in a specific way.
For example I remember loooooong ago, when Monero and Electroneum were on their 1st algorithm, I think CryptoNote, the pill was giving me a slight boost in this algorithm. It was not the +50% we get in ethereum, but it was an obvious boost.

As for your link, I don't know this NBMiner and if it's safe. The link I shared (https://github.com/admin-ipfs/OhGodAnETHlargementPill) is from OhGotAGirl's twitter so it's the original... probably... most likely?

Bittrex might be ok if you are a miner seeking to dump your mined grins to hold bitcoin. I reckon Bittrex's grin wallet withdrawals might still be presently disabled.

Yesterday afternoon (afternoon in my GMT+2 timezone) both withdrawing and depositing was disabled. Let me check again...



Yep, still disabled. Hopefully this'll help support the price by locking dumping-miners out!

I think so, because no member has complained about disabled grin in bittrex. maybe most of those doing grin transactions are miners who want to throw away their coins.

[bbc.reporter]

@RivAngE. Hehehe well it might help in having Grin's price float above the market average if that makes you happy.

In any case, those dumping miners are not to be blamed. They also want Grin to be higher, however they have no choice, they need to get some profit where they can.
