If you had a m-dollar in the states based on blockchain tech in every store, would you use it instead of cash or plastic cards?

If you look on another link I posted there is a chinese company that makes this possible. You can pay with bitcoin dash or ethereum with your mobile phone instantly..

When the altcoins can be used for something else than pure speculation, the price rise..

You can already pay with androidpay pretty much everywhere that and Mastercash (or something like that). Almost no one uses it. With cryptos you have to go through the whole exchange phase which no one wants to do. Cards are pretty much 'universal'. No one is going to switch to cryptos unless there is some sort of benefit and there isn't right now.

And no, there isn't a link between 'features' like tangible items in real life and crypto adotpion. Another silly fallacy people are pedaling when they list it on their coin page, it doesn't have anything to do with adoption. Occasionally you get really big news bits that do correlate to uptics in the market, but that didn't happen recently.

I need opinion: which card is generally better for mining, assuming I could buy them for same price:
Palit GTX 1070 Super Jetstream
or
Gigabyte GTX 1070 XTREME GAMING

Palit SJS, but depending on the silicon loterry it could be other way around.

The Gigabyte one by far. It has better cooling system and more warranty.

Gigabyte fans are PoS, expect them to fail in 6-12 months or 15 if you run them really cool. Talked about that multiple times in this thread over the years. Cards themselves are great, but you should expect to send them in for warranty which takes about three weeks to get back.

I have a job for you bensam.

Are you sure (talk about this concrete model of graphics card that has a DOUBLE BALL BEARING STRUCTURE):

Sarcasm right? It's hard to tell with the comments on here and who I talk to.

Not sure what cards have double ball bearings, it's not any of the cards I bought. Maybe specifically that model. Too little too late, the damage is already done.

I looked around, it's just specifically the xtreme edition models. You shouldn't have to pay a extra $60 for double ball bearing fans, they aren't that expensive and all the other models they make are sleeve. I just sent in a batch of seven a day ago that have 1-3 dead fans on the cards. Other manufacturers use double ball bearings on all their models.

What?

[bathrobehero]

To scale that 529/ sec, btc is currently struggling with 3.23 transactions/ sec.

https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions

Thats why Dash is bether. Masternodes. Instant verification. Coin mixing...

But it's tainted by its instamine which will never get washed off...


Regarding Gigabyte cards and their fans I contracted Gigabyte asking to buy some replacement fans and they told me they don't deal with parts and if I were to replace my fans I'd void my warranty... so I'll never buy Gigabyte cards ever again even though they are way cheaper and most of my cards are Gigabyte. The RMA procedure here takes like 2-3 months so yeah, fuck that. But I have 1070 G1's with faster failing fans than some of my 970's...

Double ball brearing from now on or gtfo.

[sxafir]

My gpu is on the warranty.

I was hesitant about what to buy.
I like Palit since 750TI era, and Xtreme looks very mighty from reviews.
So I ordered one of each 
Thank you all for comments.

:p i do that too. I broke my first 1070 yesterday... a Gigabyte 1070 Mini in the first 3 months.. and its not a fan issue

let me guess: VRM chip got melted on the back? can you send some pic

[Epsylon3]

nothing wrong visually, the pc just has rebooted and since no fan and nothing in lspci

[bensam1231]

I would say Asus and EVGA are currently the best brands to buy (haven't tried palit). But after the kerfuffle with their thermal pads and all my 5173s burning out I'm hesitant on that one. Asus I would recommend hands down, except one of my 1070s (one of the first ones I bought) had one of the three fans die. All of the 1070s use the same fans on Asus so fingers crossed that this is a isolated incident. It took about nine months before that happened.

My Asus 970s I only had two fans die on (not on the same card). One was from it hitting the wire sheath and causing it to eventually fail, the other one just happened and one of the fans is still running so I'm not worried about it.

I wouldn't ever buy a single fan cooler... EVER. That's just asking for issues if that one fan gives out and they always do. The exception to this is blower coolers which usually have a very high quality bearing. I've never seen a blower fan die yet.

[antantti]

Have you guys looked at those failed fans? Are they Everflow T129215SU? You can change fan to asus strix cooler without removing cooler, thing is that I haven't found cheap place to buy those. $20/piece at China is about cheapest I have found.

SEARCH GOOGLE OR EBAY FOR REPLACEMENT FANS--

The first decent GPU I had was a GTX 550ti.    It mined scrypt at about 90kh/s, and I actually earned a LiteCoin with it.  When I accidentally touched the fan while running, it lost 2 blades and I had to replace the fan.  I found a generic replacement on Ebay for $12 or so.  Failed fans should be under warranty.

Strix fans sure know how to loose blades. Some of them I fucked myself but some need only tiny bit of wobbling, touch to its own fan wiring and there you go. When mining profits were high (yep, looking good now too) it was more profitable just to cut that opposite side blade to get fan back to balance and keep gpu in production.

Ended up with loads of cards with not-so-well working fans. I took good fans, built 100% working cards and sold them, now I have some cards that have only shitty fans. If I can find replacement fans to them I can sell them under warranty. Or keep mining and wait for failing fan --> rma upgrade.

Cards that went through normal rma were sold as sealed boxes, in some cases they gave money back. 750ti's came back as 960!, 290's as 390!, 390's as 390/480! and 970's as 970/1070!.

[lankyman]

Any ideas what i can mine with my GTX650 or GTS450 please let me know... i am waiting to buy a newer card at least , i cant wait.
I just wish i know what i can try mine with my current gfx cards and then my i7 2600k cpu which is very old or my amd x4 860.
I dont think i am fond of Minergate anymore, im suspicious of losing hash some how.

Those are 0.5A and Gigabyte cards with Windforce 3 pull 0.25A (970) and 0.35A (1070).

[Amph]

it's strange how as soon the price rise, the diff match it, out of nowhere, for zcash, basically 8k rig, materialized in no time

edit...

ok yes it look like they were on komodo before...

[Epsylon3]

my gigabyte fan turns perfectly (only 2/3 months), its the card which is dead... and prevent the fan to start. The fuse F4 seems to be "fused".. dixit the ohm meter..

you should stop on this obsession bensam the only fan i "broke" in 3 years was the ASUS Strix 1070, because the card is too long and not straight in the case

I have enough of them to know it's not a fluke and had a big long argument in this thread with Chryo who also had the same thing happen. Not the only ones...


Curiously, what DCR+Eth rates are you guys getting on 1060s with OCd memory?

BTW The altcoin pump was matched with a BTC dump. Make sure you guys watch your coins and possibly sell if you haven't (however things have slowed down).

[pallas]

The chinese exchanges finally released BTC withdrawals, probably most of those where dumped right away.

It's AMD hash... Equihash is earning more then Eth+Dcr now.

Latest btc pump started after that 'no btc/ltc withdrawal' announcement. Bitstamp was +100usd against okcoin for weeks and now they are back to that normal -20 level. What a surprise.

You hold imaginary 1000 btc on exchange. Btc dumps so you want to do something to avoid losses. You go maybe to eth, zec, etc, xmr, eur, usd, jpn, gbd. Couple of clicks and you are safe.

If you hold that 1000 btc on that biggest exchange your choises are usdt or 'alts'. Transferring btc to fiat exchange would take too much time, you can't take that risk. Or you have reasons just to stay out of fiat. Need to put this btc somewhere. Anything goes.

Point is this market is so heavily manipulated that you need to see through it to be a profitable miner. If you can't catch that 9.40pm flight look for 7.80am.
