SPR is close to death,price is dropping day by day.

Well that's one opinion Roll Eyes

Antminer S9 starts shipping this month, 13Ths at 1300watts and BTC price will start falling in few months.

The Chinese had a devaluation Yuan and people there went into a frenzy and started buying up all the BTC and caused a 3rd price increase.

Most season veterans, of crypto world, are waiting for the BTC price to fallback and then they get dollars and pounds back into support Alts.

Behold, it's time for another episode of GPU ("Gear Porn Unlimited"):



Built a 2-story shelf, each floor holds 4 motherboards,
one floor for AMD-GPUs,
the other for NVidia-GPUs.

A selection of NVidia-GPUs and PSUs should arrive soon...



Ooooo!  Very nice!  Gonna get real hot in that room real fast!  LOL  - winter will be great!  I just completed my first (6) gpu rig.  I always limited myself to 5 GPU's but I got a better power supply and upgraded my processor.  Works like a charm.  https://twitter.com/pokeytex/status/741091959419310081

nice setup - though will get very hot and noisy around mining time ...

can neaten it up - but you will also find that the throttling will happen faster than normal due to the accelerated heat build up - being so close to the wall ...

pokeytex - followed you on twitter ...

now im stalking Tongue ... hehehe ...

Yeahyeah, although I'm not going to mine 24/7 with those GPUs.
I'll rather create and test mining software you guys can use. That's the goal.

Also another important usage: When fully equipped this rack will be comprised of 8 x 8 CPU-Cores that I want to use for faster compilation/build time,
e.g. by using distcc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distcc

You won't believe the amount of time I waste just waiting for some compilation process to finish. This needs to be improved.

Looks great. So tidy!

How are the core upgrades coming along?

Nearly finished with them, will release a new wallet very soon.

Good work! I'm also looking forward to when service nodes see the light of day.

SPR should maybe consider doing a DAO proposal
Can you elaborate? How would such a proposal look, what would be the advantages/disadvantages and what would be the end result?

Actually there are / were pools.. But they never added them to the OP and most miners (but their own farms / own miners) lost interest and stopped mining.

I have all the sources for the pools and if anyone has interest I can publish that all on github, it's actually pretty easy to start a pool as the only thing which is "the problem" here is that you have to sign the block with the privkey - all you need is a signed/encrypted miner and a encrypted connection to the pool (https) and you're all good. Actually https / encrypted connections are never a bad idea for any kind of data communication, even normal mining could and maybe should be done over encrypted connections.

That "decentralization" concept is funny here, i've monitored the network over a certain time while I was implementing the pool software and whilst every blocks is mined to a different address (because in solo-mining / to-your-wallet-mining your wallet generates a new address for every found block) they are broadcast / relayed by a few IP's which indirectly implies that there only 3-4 "bigger" farms mining this. Of course when you look at the block explorer you say "hey wow, every block is solved by a different miner with it's own address" - which is totally wrong Smiley

Would you as the pool operator have access to the private keys of miners finding blocks, irrespective of SSL use?

One thing I forgot to mention in my previous post:

The beauty of SPR right now is that you can solo mine, easily. Investing in a few good cards and perhaps an optimized miner certainly helps. But the thing I forgot to mention is that when the total network hash rate is too high (in the future), you can add Service Nodes to your setup and create another source of income.

Once the Service Node network is up and running, you can add Applications, Subscriptions, and all that. Plenty of new sources of potential income.

Since SPR is decentralized, nobody will tell you what you can or can't do: it's up to the individual SN operator to decide what they want to add.

I, by myself, have plenty of ideas for applications and subscriptions.

Getting excited yet?

georgem, where are the Service Nodes?  Grin

i'm also finding block regularly, and i have few gpu mining, yes soem times you can be unlucky, and get a 10 hours straight without block or more, but it is expected with solo mining

BAM
Last night I started mining with 2 750 - wallet in sync, 5-7 active connections to network.
At the morning I got some blocks (very close to statistically expected). All of them rejected, because "network did not receive them"

One thing I wanted to say: I doubt there are 4 whale miners only.

I am right with you on that. I will say that there are a couple people who do solve a lot of blocks but for the most part I would say it's pretty diverse. But even if there was 4 or more big whales, how is that any different from a pool? I tried to mine Dash in the biggest pool of the time when they had over 50% of the total network (coinmine) and there was one whale who had almost 50% of the pool. After a whole day of non-stop mining I had maybe .0002 Dash while that whale of the pool cleaned house. So I honestly fail to see how pools are helping the small miners anymore than no pools at all. The only thing pools help is themselves with the fees they charge.
