MCAP etherum: $789,507,931
MCAP etherum classic: $ 219,019,007

Miners are moving to etherum classic for more profit.
Etherum classic also have 50% more trades on the exchanges and the price is climbing.
ETC will never go POS, and it can become a goldmine for the miners for years to come.
Decentralized, and not controlled by any government, bill gates or the rest of the clowns.

What about that "mining bomb"? I heard there's a block time explosion in a year.

Nope, that is not true at all!

In January 2017, the dag file will go over 2GB in size.

All this means, any GPU with 2GB will not be able to mine ETH.

But, 290's, 390s, Fury, Nanos, 480s all ship with 4GB or of more memory as standard.

Hardly worth mentioning, unless you own a huge stack of AMD GPUs that are 270s or 370s.

I think grrrgrrr meant this:

There's a difficulty bomb in place for Ethereum which means the difficulty keep increasing regardless of miners:

Difficulty adjustment scheme

A lot of you have been wondering how we would implement a switch from PoW to PoS in time for Serenity. This will be handled by the newly introduced difficulty adjustment scheme, which elegantly guarantees a hard-fork point in the next 16 months.

It works as follow: starting from block 200,000 the difficulty will undergo an exponential increase which will only become noticeable in about a year. At that point (just around the release of the Serenity milestone), we’ll see a significant increase in difficulty which will start pushing the block resolution time upwards.

So, a year on, the network will continue to be useful for roughly 3-4 months, but eventually will reach an ‘Ice Age’ of sorts: the difficulty will simply be too high for anyone to find a block. This will allow us to introduce PoS, perhaps via Casper, if it proves itself.

I guess it will be defused with a soft fork.

Anyone working on a Steem miner? Definitely would be a great area to spread into for GPU miners.

Can I get a link to SP's github so I can get the latest version.

I lost it when the computer crashed .
Updating the gpu drivers (non beta)  went south and scrambled the hard driver to where it finely went out.

So is anyone willing to work on a Nvidia ETH dual miner for commission? It doesn't need to be a ground up rebuild of ETH.

It's silly we're six months in from when Claymore released his and we still don't have one.

CLAYMORE IS WORKING ON ONE--

He has said in his thread that he "had an agreement" not to code an nVidia miner, but that it expired.  When asked for an update last week, he said "1-or-2 weeks". 

He just released version 5.3 of his AMD miner, it remains to be seen if the very latest AMD drivers for RX 460, 470, and 480 will work well with his miner.  I do see on AMD's website that Ubuntu 14.04.4 now has a version of the drivers supporting the new line of cards.  The site only claims compatibility with Ubuntu 16.04.1, though, and these are beta drivers.       --scryptr

Appreciate the information. Obviously some huge farm paid him a LOT of money to specifically code it for AMD. How old is that post? 1-2 weeks out a couple days ago?

That aside, not sure why he would take time to code it. Besides the program not allowing it... Nvidia devices are OCL capable, so it really just needs to be 'flipped on' and allowed to work with Nvidia hardware, more or less.


BTW if you're into AMD hardware, 470s may be the brand new go to for Dagger mining. The 470 performs just about on par with the 480 for Dagger. The 460s have a smaller memory bus, so they might not be up to par... However it will be interesting to see what results they produce as well.

Or haven't you figured it out by now that none of the current Nvidia devs are interested in doing it.

Pretty sure they are not happy to spend the time to do it and get nothing in return for it.

Not sure why you'd assume they wouldn't get anything for doing it? I've mentioned before miner fee or paying for programs like this isn't far fetched. Out of everything they could be doing, that is something that people would most likely pay for. Dagger mining is not unheard of...

Whether or not they want to do it doesn't stop it from being in demand and does not stop it from being something that could earn them money.

Windows 10 x64 1607 have strange problem whith hashrates... main videocard go down in 50%, go up and go down... Avarage hashrate slower on 10 %. But i run 3 instances of lbry miners, and avarage numbers is good (counting all 3 instances). WTF? F***ing windows....

[Epsylon3]

try --cpu-priority 3 (or 4), i seen something weird like that on pascal, else the speed was fast only when i focused the command line window.... another weird new issue unrelated to ccminer code


Well, else ive a SIA miner under work... it already works on suprnova and nanopool... waiting enough donations to release sources and finish it (aka implement the stratum protocol described on their forum), i just posted that on their forum...  970 1GH/s

I FOLLOW CLAYMORE'S THREAD--

Within the last two weeks, he has been asked several times about an nVidia miner.  I asked him, and he told me, about 3 days ago.  If you ask him, he will likely answer you.  He answers the silliest questions from  one dot readers on up.  He earns a lot with his fee, and gives responsible support to match.

I also have been reading about the 470 cards.  Not bad performance for 150 Watts max.       --scryptr

I asked off and on for a Nvidia miner for the first 2~ months or so after the dual miner was released and never got a response besides 'There is no Nvidia miner'. Good he had a change of heart, there really isn't any competition regardless of the amount of time it went without being fulfilled. I imagine Nvidia hardware performing quite well, especially pascal.

Hopefully you meet your goals. SIA is sort of in a tough spot though, a 12% increase in performance brings it about up to par with mining Dagger, only without the advantages (such as multiple coins). If you can further improve it you'll probably generate more interest, but you'd need a extra 15-20% on top of what you've already done to make LBRY miners bat a eye.

That really depends on how long LBRY lasts for though. SIA is a much more robust coin, as are dagger coins.

STEEM is still a promising area if you're looking to get donations for a preview miner. I would definitely throw BTC at that.

I haven't had that issue since cudaminer. Try turning hardware acceleration off in Chrome.

[Amph]

not that it matter, siacoin have a bad profit right now, even lyra 2 and spreadcoin are better and eth also, basically on par with feathercoin...

[Epsylon3]

i dont care about your profit Amph

[Amph]

it's not my profit, i was saying that siacoin is not profitable like other option, the diff is increasing only because of the dual mining thing
