network hashrate continues to climb exponentially according to
http://explorer.pascalcoin.org/while other profitable gpu coins difficulty rises as well.
not the trend one would expect.
putting aside the unlikely explanation that a few million gpu's have just been added to the global mining pool, does anyone know anything about bitcoin sha asic being adapted to this algo or possibly some drastic optimizations in the current mining software?
no use mining old school with a few gpu's when people have an outdated s3 doing equal to 100x GPU's worth of work.
as an aside, anyone want to buy my s3?
few million? network is only 10TH, and a single gpu can do 1G...there are only 10k+ gpu, more than possible with all the gpu combined that are now mining all the altcoin
the absolute nethash of all the altcoin right now, might be 1 million gpu at least
right so conservatively estimating 500MH/s per gpu on the network side, over 10,000GPU's added to pasc network since yesterday. i do tend to exaggerate its not millions, but you can't argue it is a considerable sum.
all while XMR
ZEC
and ETH
network difficulty also steadily rises.
as for the ckolivas cgminer link in supernovas help page for pascalcoin, its just unchanged from the MPOS package default
https://github.com/MPOS/php-mpos/blob/master/templates/bootstrap/gettingstarted/default.tplWhen a new algo appears that is very profitable people bring AWS instances online. There are price points at which the coins eclipse (usually about $2 a 1070) at which AWS instances are profitable. Someone has this down to pretty much a science and may even be automated after initial setup. Wolf0 might even have something to do with this. Since scaling for AWS is essentially unlimited, there is no med size farm or china farm that can compete with cloud hashing. Google and Amazon are nothing to trifle with.
I've seen this happen on multiple coins where hashrate just comes out of thin air. I've talked about it a few times but people just herp derp about hashrate coming from a different algo when it clearly is being manufactured on the spot.
The only answer is AWS instances. It could be 'dormant' miners that people have laying around, but thats a lot of equity to just come out of no where and be sitting around.
Props for noticing this though. Most miners are dumbasses.
the tweet supersedes that 2 coin payout. It was 1 coin so?
