ETH constant attacking on ETC is a benefit for ETC and ETC will grow, even this thread is 5x more popular than the ETH thread, 30 days and it has 130,000 views+ :-)
What is the evidence that ETH is attacking the ETC? I noticed the price of ETC is quite stable at the present times.
ETC price is not stable, what you see is contoled price.. They are controling price of ETC and ETH.. If you watch graphs you can clearly see, that there is no volume in trading, and that graphs are almost in the streigh line.. if you watch Candles, you can see, that up and down candles are mostly the same.. as much as go down, goes back up.. This price control is making me crazy, and whoever is doing this is loosing a lot of money.. and if you ask yourself who have money from the banks, developements? There is your anwser..
Well said, the market depth is also way out at times to the way the candles play out.
Nanopool took a couple of DDoS hits in the night. I lost about 2 hours mining.
I'm now mining Solo to my own node. Funny thing, im hitting blocks like never before and have already made my money back.
Looks like i'm sticking with solo until the hashrate picks up or until the EF run out of steam.
Ok, so now you have my curiosity up, I have never solo mined... How does one go about solo mining? I am using the claymore miner for my rigs. I downloaded Geth and have that running with the Mist wallet which is now syncing... So what are the next steps to trying the solo mining?
OK so in windows... Using old geth,
Make a .bat file in the same folder as "geth" and put the following code in it
geth --oppose-dao-fork -rpc
If you
are using the new “geth” i.e.
geth-windows-4.0-amd64.exe, just rename it “
geth.exe” and make a .bat with this code in it.
new geth will not need argument
so drop that bit on new geth, but be sure you have the new one or you will be mining eth.
Use this new .bat you just made to run "geth" before you open "mist".
You need to keep this "geth" running to solo mine but you can run geth and then open and close "Mist" as many times as you like, but you need to keep "geth" running to mine. This will be your
fullnode or
solopool====================================================================================================
Now Download
"Ethereum 0.9.41" and install it. This will be your mining software that will point at your "fullnode"
Make a .bat file in the same folder as "ethminer.exe" i.e. "C:/Progrem Files/Ethereum 0.9.41/Release" folder
and put the following code in it.
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
ethminer -G
Now run this bat once your geth node syncs. (BUT NOT BEFORE)
This is an
easy to follow guide for windows Solo mining ETH
https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/guides/how-to-mine-ethereum/only difference to mining ETC is which geth you use and which flag you run i.e.
When you hit a block you will get 5 etc in your wallet. It will not have any history on a blockexplore like at a pool because it is new money and has no history.
To work out how often you should hit a block with your hashpower, get the difficulty and hashrate from here
