Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby!

[philipma1957]

ok, yes.  understand your situation, thought it might be "space/density" criteria.  good luck and lets keep on mining!!

I am very close to all gear paid off.

I purchased quite a few cards from July to Nov this year.

I think 12100 worth.
I sold some cards

dropping cash out of pocket down to

10k

I mined back a lot of the 10k

Gear Should pay off by years end.

Note I had 25 cards mining ⛏ before I put the money in.
I plowed all the card earnings into paying cards off.

So this round of card investment worked out for me.

I now have

11x  1080tis
  2x 1660tis
  1x 1660
   1x 1650

3x 3080

20x 5700xt
20x 5600
  8x 5500

Etc had hard fork today and it can be minned with 3gb gpus now

Any idea why Nicehash won't support it anymore? They said that by supporting ETC it would lead to 100% invalid shares and the sellers of hash would get paid but buyers of hash would result in a complete loss. I am completely puzzled by this because this algo is pretty much the same except the DAG size is just smaller. Anyone got a clue as to why they would do this?


Also a head up if you got a Ledger hardware wallet, apparently some people are getting a phishing email with their real name providing a fake Ledger website which tries to steal your key. So keep it safe out there. This is similar to the Electrum phishing attack a few years back. If you are in a hurry to sell your BTC, you might overlook a few things and rush and then get your BTC stolen. So always be cautious.

maybe it is considered to be an algo shift due to 3gb.

maybe nice hash will need to create a different  rental section and are not prepped yet. So in a week or 2 they do it.

It caused a bump to 299 th hash rate for eth

Probably because all the miners used for Eth need to be updated to support the new ETC algo.  So if Nicehash sends a request to the miner to switch to ETC and the miner isnt updated it will only provide invalid shares.  I'm sure in a month or two they will add support for it.

Phill, you still with viabtc eth?

[philipma1957]

Phill, you still with viabtc eth?

yes. much more stable far less lockups.

once in a while a rig does the following

It says it is mining on simple mining

It says it is inactive on viabtc eth

So you simply reboot and it registers on viabtc again.

It has happened 2 times from the same location Of 4 of my rigs.

That location has DSL connection.

 So I suspect the DSL is the issue.


This is far better then a rig freezing and needing a hard shut down.
Nicehash seems to cause it and often too often to be worth mining at.

I have to say using windows and nicehash works better
So I have 5 xmr rigs doing windows and nice hash.

And amazingly nicehash claims they will be paying back the remaining lost funds from dec 2017!

 I am owed.

The European market is identical,  nothing available, this also for Ryzen processors ,

Well now is the time to look for used gear sold by reliable miners.

I know a guy that does not rip off by jacking prices to the moon.

 (surprise it is me)

I have put all my 470s, 480s and Vegas for sale - hopefully I wont be tempted to be jackxxx 

Shipping to overseas wont make sense, unless you're buying from Singapore.

Does anyone know if the calculations for ETC on Whattomine are correct?  Looks like daily revenue is double.

wrong if you mine at viabtc eth pays far better.

Yah I am an idiot.  Didn't realize the default hashrates WTM used were all messed up

I use viabtc since I mine to them so the predictions are very close to what I really get.

Can you adjust the payout on ETH to .1 or are you limited to 1 and above?
