GTX 1070: 315-325 sol (Windows 10). How to receive 360 sol?

I like when you just randomly quote posts with no actual bearing to the conversation. I actually took time to click on links. First link isn't even related to what I responded to, this is what I responded to: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17218530 (I don't even know why I need to link this it's literally quoted in the first post I replied to, it's almost like you don't think I know what I responded to)

To which he was basically trying to make a point that most users have old hardware or there is a 'huge demand' for such a thing comparing it to AMD, which is absolute BS. As I've mentioned before (in the post you link to), what AMD does has no place in a thread about Nvidia mining? Why? Because this is a miner for Nvidia hardware and designed for it. If you back in time for Nvidia it's basically Pascal or Maxwell for mining, there is no point in either catering for or making a argument for older hardware, which he was trying to do.

Something about trying to make a point of 'small miners' not being able to buy current gen equipment, which is also bullshit. Money can be used to purchase any hardware. Hell that's one of the other big points I made about him buying trash can hardware because people on Ethereum forums think four year old GPUs are going to be a good idea for the long run. I'm really just reiterating what I said there, you being a archiver of the internet I'm sure can just go read it there.

And no, insults took a back seat to all the other points I made, some of which I reiterated right here. Here is a big one that you seemed to miss out on when you were rewriting history with embedded links that you expect no one to check, lets just do it again, why the do you assume people mining on 280s has any relevance in a thread about Nvidia mining, Nvidia mining purchases, or Nvidia miner development?

It doesn't? Oh... Okay... And yeah I treat ignorance with insults, because we already jumped through the hoops of making points. Lets not forget that finger was pointed both ways, I am also accused of being 'ignorant'. Oh wait, only I insult other people? Gosh... It's almost like we have another case of hypocrisy here. (This isn't the first time I've had a run in with Quint, he was a firm believer in 1070s not being able to eclipse 200sols in the Silentarmy thread or get anywhere close to AMD due to the memory interface)

As far as winning goes... You basically said exactly the same thing I did and the post Quit originally responded to was saying: "I'm personally one of those miners that only keep the most current/efficient hardware, which is gtx 1070 / rx 480 in my case." Yup. Because expecting four year old hardware that just happened to work out well on a niche algo like Dagger work just as well on Equihash or any other algorithm is a pipe dream. Oh wait, it's almost like I already said that.

Glad we're in agreement, now it's your turn to tell Quint to bugger off.

Oh and for reference Compute 2.0 devices aren't even profitable to mine on, just as a FYI to what people were talking about. Compute 5.0 is Maxwell.

Knock yourself out with good'ol Quint here (half of what he wrote was disproven by other forum members in the following page): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16909529

"CUDA devices are busy or unavailable". Use latest version of miner or reduce overclock.

You've been twisting his words and insulting him from the very start of this stupid argument since Dec 18. He never tried to "force devs into pandering to his ancient hardware", you made this up in your head, it all even started with not him but some other user politely asking whether it's possible to compile a compute 2.0 version of 0.5b. Yet another user then asked why not just buy a new card. QuintLeo answered to that user, trying to explain in detail how there's still a lot of folks with older cards and some of those cards are still reasonably efficient etc. That's when you joined the conversation, and you immediately lost your shit there, insulting and twisting his words from the very start.

I'm personally one of those miners that only keep the most current/efficient hardware, which is gtx 1070 / rx 480 in my case. But I also understand those people that keep using older gen stuff, like QuintLeo and others - there's indeed quite a few of reasons for that. It may be not the most efficient way to mine (selling older cards and buying modern ones usually pays off in the long run), but it's not even the point here anymore. The point is you're trying to force you worldview on other people through insults and making shit up - that's like 50% of your posts: first you twist your opponent's words (so that it's a lot easier to attack him), and then you hit with the insults. An approach like this never makes you win any argument, you're on the losing side instead, just assumed to be a troll not worth arguing with.

Ah I'm sorry, next time I'll nicely insult you instead. That's what happens when you take up a position directly the opposite of someone else and you continually try to assert it. You want to try and force devs into pandering to your ancient hardware, I took up the position of 'no, sell it, buy new hardware like a legitimate miner' you said 'no make my ancient hardware better!'.

It really doesn't matter what you say you were coming from a losing position in the first place simply because developers can only make software so fast and efficient, even for old hardware. It really doesn't matter how much time they spend on it. Spending time on hardware older then Maxwell isn't even worth it anyway for the aforementioned reasons of the majority of miners being on maxwell or newer hardware...

@EWBF:  What error 46 mean?

 I got tired of trying to educate the trolls only to be rudely insulted and have my words twisted into unrecognisable shapes as they tried to justify their worldview being "the one true way" and ignored them.

Erm... When someone does something for a living and you do it in your spare time as a 'hobby' is it greed because they live off of it?

A lot of people have money and time invested here. They're aren't doodling around on shit hardware for fun.

And no, it's not worth thinking about. This is my job, regardless of what the confused individual I was responding to thinks of this.

holy crap. greed is all nowadays eh. i folded for straight f@h for free back in the day.

guess if theres no money in it for you its not worth thinking about?

btw i gave away my old btc mining cards, 5830s and 6870s to folks who needed them more. you know, for free.

anyway off topic, sorry.

@EWBF: can you add Coinotron?

@bensam123: This time I applaud to you, I didn't had the patience anymore to mess with this ...dude.
But you perfectly hit the point I tried to shorten. +1000 Pinky if we would be in Polo trollbox :-D

To obvious hm..well can't hide my Teutonic-ironic nature ;-)

So you bought the smod for 0.2BTC, and now you are selling it for 0.06 BTC.

Throw them away? You sell old hardware funny man. I've done it, other people do it, it's part of mining. Trying to cling to old hardware and bulldog developers into trying to engineer for ancient hardware is just plain outright dumb and asinine.

I love when someone says something like 'you're being ignorant' and then uses absolutely nothing to backup that assertion. You know what's ignorant? Making ignorant and fallacious assertions.

You know what's great about those coins? They barely make you energy costs. You aren't the only one who has looked into such coins before bro. You also wouldn't be here trying to get people to make shit for your old hardware if you weren't after profit. So go do that or your 'original' super secret use. Oh wait, you actually want to make money and you're literally being a hypocrite? Alright... We seem to have a conflict here. How about selling your shit hardware? Oh no? You just want things to work out magically for you? Hrmmm you're offering a tough one here... Guess your parents never told you no.

Yup because at the end of '14 and up until Ethereum AMD hardware was WORTHLESS unless you happened to have some of Wolf0's private kernels, which almost no one did. And you know what? The likeliness of there being another Ethereum (specifically Dagger-Hashimoto) is next to nill. Perfect example is Equihash which everyone assumes is going to function exactly like Dagger and is angry if their old school 280 isn't making as much money and is as efficient as a 480. It doesn't even make sense to assume that or ask for developers to try and make that happen, they're completely different cards and represent different baselines in hardware. But ethbabies, yourself included I'm sure, don't know anything but Ethereum and assume everything is going to function that way.

Funny thing about your account: Date Registered: June 12, 2015, 02:25:27 AM

I'm sure you were around for scrypt... or something.

I never assumed all mining is GPU based. We're literally discussing GPU mining in a thread for a GPU miner... So I guess, you know, we were talking about GPU mining? Although I'm not sure at what point we weren't?

Yes, I have a issue with you fucking other people for charity. You know when you mine you take away earnings from others, right? Go back to your Foldingcoins. But this is beside the point, you just like saying shit like that to feel good about yourself and try to make others feel bad all the while you're after money. I suppose using electricity for a charity, is a tax write off, isn't it? Oh wait... are you trying to inadvertently make money again? Weird... XD

BTW the point isn't to 'move you', it's to prevent devs from wasting time on fruitless endeavors and stop others from pursuing a similar path. I really could care less about you self-immolating.

Iog kommst du aus Germany ?

Well this applies to you..obviously you are a troll or moron. I assume the second because Einstein said something like infinity of stupid people..i just mess with you.
Yapping of dogs is nice to alert if someone is entering your sphere that shouldn't belong there! gotcha

I have received this message today and suspect that it is a zec miner developer who passes his dev-fee over this path !!!

Fuck you määän 😂😂😂😂

 I don't "get anything from what you said" because you have have been repeatedly rude, have repeatedly been personally insulting for no reason to someone you don't know anything about, insist on pushing your BAD ASSUMPTION, and refuse to consider my points about WHY the assumption is bad.

 To reply to your comments in the way you have been replying to mine, I would get more information out of the yapping of dogs than I get out of your postings.

 Yet you want them to throw away or ignore old hardware they already have that can be used to profitably mine with?
 Why do you ASSume everyone that mines can "afford to do that"?

 You're also showing a great deal of ignorance.

 Let me offer you three names to research to correct that ignorance.

 Curecoin
 Foldingcoin
 Gridcoin

 The first 2 are quite profitable as a pair when folding abet not AS profitable as the recent basket of ETH/ETC/ZEC/etc has been for most of the last year.
 The latter covers my electric with sometimes a small profit when working DNet through the Moo Wrapper project, and is mostly used for my APUs that don't mine well on anything IF at all.

 However, between end of the Litecoin GPU and  rise of Ethereum, I did happen to be working a PART TIME job.
 I also had quite a few ASIC rigs mining in that timeframe - some SHA256 (which I have since sold off) and some Scrypt (still mining, LONG since paid off).

 Why do you ASSume that all mining is with GPU based rigs?
 EVEN RIGHT NOW, the majority of mining income is generated via SHA256-based ASIC rigs mostly for BitCoin.
 I suspect Scrypt-based ASIC might also generate more total income (mostly on LiteCoin) than all GPU-based rigs on all coins they mine on combined.
 

 Some folks give away money and things to charity.
 I choose to give away use of some of my "free CPU" and "free GPU" cycles instead.
 You have an issue with that?
 Too bad, being rude and insulting about it leaves me unmoved and inclined to just blow you off in return.

EWBF please add the ability to add more instances or threads via a command line argument. Right now in order to get maximal hashrate you have to run 4 instances of the miner. Even running two instances increases hashrate of the miner by +10%. You can look at GPU utilization. The miner isn't taking full advantage of the GPUs.

It'ls a mess running 4 miners though.

Just want to report I haven't seen a huge loss of hashrate or shares over a certain amount of time. Whatever happened to me a couple days ago wasn't caused specifically by the miner. Pretty sure the dev fee is fine.
