so I am doing simple mining and trying grin 29
grin29.f2pool.com:13654 -u [email protected] -p x
will this work?
well it does not so what do I have wrong
that email is the f2pool email
do I need the simple mining pool email?

Hi guys,
How do you find a GRIN transaction ID? I don't see a search field for that on Grin explorer. I sent some GRIN to my exchange wallet about 14 hours ago and it hasn't shown up.
Thx

I checked this a couple days ago as well, found nothing, looked further into it, and read something mentioning that the GRIN protocol mashes together all transaction IDs of transactions included within individual blocks. At that point I gave up on it.

We need $400 eth + ProgPow to revive gpu mining.
I think the ProgPOW alone would be enough to revive GPU mining. The price right now sets break-even for people with 10 cent power costs which is the average. I remember when ETH temporarily was at $160 last week and the profits were already looking a little better.
If we get ProgPOW actually and soon then it would level the playing field with ASICs and we might see some decent profits again. And then if you HODL the ETH coins you might finish the year at a great profit level.
However the way that the ETH dev team takes their time with all the updates and delays, we might not see ProgPOW until the end of the year.
ETH AT 500 WOULD BE HELPFUL
Let it stay down another couple of months while I build my stack
I moved away from grin mining. 24 hours later, still no payouts (it takes 1 day to mature though), and price crashed 60%.
Wasted couple of hours, but at any time I can switch my 1080tis back to grin if needed.
for me..get/mine some grin...wait for big exchanges listing, that's where the action is
TradeOgre exchange already has it trading some $4

Still mining BCI and hoping for a pump
I have 5200 coins
if it went to 3 bucks I would have a good 2018 and a nice start for 2019
Well for your sake I hope this happens.. hell anything not boring and depressing at this point would be nice I have 5200 coins

Big exchanges have increasing pressure to not list privacy coins. Both grin and beam have had a lot of hype; I don't see it being realized anytime soon.

Mined a few, didn't withdraw, prices started to fall.
Then the pools introduce direct withdrawal function to the exchange. I use it, the coins are still stuck somewhere in Limbo for 3 days now. Needless to say what looked like I made a few hundred bucks in 24 hours is now worth $20. Max.

if you can remove that fan often there is a sticker on the motor hub, remove the sticker and you should see the bearing. sometimes under a rubber plug, sometimes not. add a drop of light oil (like sewing machine oil or 3-in-1 oil) to it. that can add a few months but likely youll have to redo it every month or two.
Sintetic engine oil will do a much better thing. I use Castrol engine oil and lasts much longer.
interesting. you use the lightest weight oil you can get? at least very light oil was what was recommended back in the day, like 20-30 years ago when i was using and rebuilding very small fans on electronics and early computers. and engine oil then was typically 30 weight or more. thick oil would sometimes prevent the fan from starting and sometimes they would not attain the correct rpm as these were pretty small low power fans back then though.. now engine oil is much lighter and fan bearing are probably much different in lubrication requirements, or at least the bearing themselves are larger.
Doesn't seem to matter, I've been using motor oil for a couple decades or close and it all works well.
Keep in mind that this is a short-term solution in any case, since the seal(s) is(are) shot and the oil isn't going to stay there for long.
I'm not sure how straight 30 weight would work, I normally use 5w-30 10w-40 or 5w-40 in my vehicles so that's what I have around.
I did the bearing re-oiling for many of my old Radeon GPUs and especially any Gigabyte Windforce GPUs.
Most GPU fans of mine never had a sticker that could be peeled and behind it was the bearing. Most I had to drill a hole thru and later seal up.
With the crappy Gigabyte Windforce, those I just used some floss and yanked out the fan blade and put a drop or 2 of mineral oil.
Mineral oil worked best because it was slightly thicker than oil such as 3-in-1 which is too thin and slightly thinner than motor oil which is too thick.
The 3-in-1 was too thin and basically the oil seeped out way too quickly and you had to re-do the job in a couple weeks. The motor oil was hit or miss but on some GPUs, especially if near a cold window, the oil would cause the fan blade to stick and you had to manually flick it to get it to spin.
When I oil my fans, I just reach for an old tin of sewing machine oil. Pretty thin, does the job.

Has anyone tried plugging a 64gb usb stick to use as vram? I'm not heading to my farm for 2 months and could ask my guy to plug in usb sticks, but not ssds. Hitting vram limitations on my 60gb ssd rigs.
Nope. Millions of 8gb polaris cards can jump on this coin if the farm owners upgrades the cpu/ssd. The profit is short lived, price already down 80% in a day. Kinda like zcash launch, the first few hours was amazing. First 3 days still decent, but quickly tapered off to the norm.

anybody mining grin here? it seems 2080ti shines here with 1080ti as 1st runner up..
will GRIN pump to revive GPU mining?

yup, we need progpow on a huge cap coin like eth..just consider grin as another fuel added to the fire and they made a section (c31) for GRIN ASICs, for the mean time this can be mined only by 2080ti and possibly 1080ti "profitably" (i heard)..
i'm seeing a cycle here, like when HBM was unusable in mining and then they performed better in equihash then 1080ti's gddr5x was said to be useless, and they became the secret sauce in eth largement pill (good on other algos too), now the 2080ti on c31 so anybody who invested in 2080ti might ROI on GRIN's profitability--hopefully hehe
The ever hateful "Obelisk" group have announced an ASIC Grin miner. Doubt it will ship on time, but maybe they worked with the development team so who knows. I wouldn't buy any more GPUs based on Grin.

There is an alternative. So I'm sure you guys know there are a ton of die hard Electroneum fans out there (me being one of them) and they used to mine ETN back before it became ASIC friendly (me being one of them).
I bought a mining rig from a coworker for fairly cheap and bad timing, right after that they (the ETN DEV team) switched the blockchain back to ASIC friendly.
So one of use came up with a pool that mines other cryptonight coins that can still be profitably mined and sells it on an exchange and pays you out in ETN. He switches coins to keep the profitability up. Right now the focus is around cryptonight fast coins.

So you could do this with other coins and algo's and still keep your GPU's mining. You just need someone to start a pool like that for your preferred algos and coins.
