I heard they are dumping bonds in the east...it could be related. Maybe their buying BTC with them. So it could go much higher .. but then again it could be one big pump. Time will tell.

EDIT: I'm unable to connect to port 4133 yiimp for J.

The nethashrate of LBRY is very low now. You make more than $2 a card@310mhash. Bether than zcash and ethereum

Sp-mod privivate #4 is recomended for maxwell and 1060 cards

Could be test run of some ASIC batch - unlikely. LOL

zcash diff isn't stable once again it's returned to the previous level 800k, it was not certainly because of etheruem

probably many miners from different coins jumped in

5% wasn't enough to make up for the 50% increase in Equihash difficulty, it's not nearly at what it was earlier today currently though.

Mining only matters to miners. The only connection between mining and the recent surge in price and volume
is the end of the slow start, meaning there is one fewer variable for investors to worry about.

Whether the surge is real or just a pump, to be followed by a dump, remains to be seen.

The etherueum difficulty is decreasing rapidly. Miners move from ethereum to zcash as the price rise.

Or someone made a breakthrough with miner development.

About those amd numbers, they are real. I have been in selling mode for months but if I wanted to buy new toys, fury for $269 would be my choice.

There must be some sort of pricing threshold that Equihash crosses where it becomes profitable to start up AWS instances. Like 50% of the hashrate that just magic'd out of thin air on Equihash didn't come from any of the other algorithms.

Fury is a notoriously power hungry chip, not sure I believe you getting 190w for 375sols. There is a reason Fury-X's come with water cooling built in.

I'd have to see some wall numbers before I believe that. Not sure where you're getting your power numbers from, but there is no way the efficiency of Fury is close to a 480. Utilization of the chip would be close to 50% of what it's capable of if that were the case.

If you have to bios mod anything, that's completely out of the question. If you manage more then two rigs BIOS flashing is a huge risky waste of time...

A 480 is a better value proposition then a Fury simply due to efficiency. Like I said before, definitely don't believe your numbers for power usage on a Fury let alone Fury-X, which can use upwards of 350w (450w peak) under full load. There is a reason people are picking specifically Fury-Nanos and then bios flashing them to custom clocks and low power profiles for mining Ethereum (which of course doesn't translate to other algos).

Yes Vega efficiency might be close to a 1070... Maybe, but still not here and wont be for a few more months.

Agree with your points about dev.
For amd/nvidia : amd lacks new high end cards (vega soon ?). I agree nvidia are more efficient, but not significantly faster.

I am mining with a GTX 1080, a GTX 1070 (no longer)  two fury-x, a RX480.
The fury-x is doing 375 h/s which is as fast as nvidia GTX1070/GTX1080 but at 190w instead of 140-160.

For now RX480 are not very good at equihash, but they are efficient at cryptonight (monero): without bios mod but mem OC: 730h/s at around 100w. The GTX 1080 could manage around 640h/s.

Les jeux sont fait.

So about that Cryptonite miner...

These are my exact thoughts, and this is what I am intended to do later on with my projects 

well said, this time I agree completely ;-)
devs can be greedy, but so can miners.
we need to find a good balance.

Not trying to preach to the choir here, but this is why we have pay miners guys. Nicehash and EWBF are competing with eachother slowly, but surely for the extra hash on their services. Whether it's a 2% dev fee or mining on Nicehash's service, they're both trying to make better miners.

I'd like to point out that Silenarmy's miner basically fell off the map once he lost interest. He moved and now even after returning he spends absolutely no time working on it. There is a reason you pay developers for their time and effort, because at the end of the day, if they aren't getting paid, they're just doing it either as charity or as a hobby. Both of those are very prone to whimsical interest of the developer. Think about how much effort you would put into mining if you didn't actually get paid and you put the same work into it? Almost nothing? Yeah...

Encourage paid development. As long as it's fair and honest, developers should always get paid so they continue to do what they do. Miners need developers as much as they need mining hardware.


Lets not forget individuals that went out of their way to harp on people for wanting faster miners too. There were plenty of people that either hated on you or would down talk you for wanting just as fast of a miner as Claymore or for thinking that Nvidia could get remotely close to his speeds. Low and behold now not only is EWBF and Nicehash faster then Claymore, they're also more efficient. Getting almost close to 2x the hashrate of a 480, which is about on par with what speeds we should be getting. There are a lot of ignorant and uninformed opinions floating around the forums. They just go off of what they know and like 90% of the miners here are born from Ethereum AMD mining.

Coinmine.

Best pool for ZCL ? .

How could you achieve these hashrate?! my zotac extereme do 18.7 eth ( zotac overclocked them heavily ) and my gigabytes 970 g1 do 17.5
