Topic: New Nintendo Switch Game Rumored To Be SECRETLY CRYPTO MINING?! ProgPoW News (Read 281 times)

Keep up the good work. When I finally build my new system (waiting for Ubuntu 20.04) it will have speakers
so I can watch the vids while waiting for some long task to finish.

Hey Phil I give some more insight/background two replies above, was basically a reply to all three of you here in the thread.

I definitely used to be more into the forum, and I thoroughly enjoyed engaging with you, especially 2 years ago when I was very active here. I elaborated on a lot of this in my reply above, but one additional piece of information like you said crypto is more of a grind to you and less fun lately -- over the last couple years I have felt that way some too, I think the bear market is just very hard on everyone, especially overtime. In addition to the stress of cryptocurrency in 2018-2019 I reached a period of burnout with video creation, and this burnout translated into all of my work/posts and just general being. Since then I've taken a stepback and evaluated what I want to do, accomplish, automated a lot of things to help with my work/life balance and just general workflow with content creation and strived to get back into stuff that genuinely interests me.

Anyway I'm sort of just venting I guess here at this point lol, hope it's not super boring. I definitely understand and relate to your feelings. I think it's great you're dedicating your time and resources to support Monero since they're one of the very few projects that have taken any sort of stance against ASICs instead of just rolling over while Bitmain & friends cash-in.

To be clear on my above statement, what is so frustrating is when a crypto project claims ASIC resistance, and then just gives up the second an ASIC miner shows up.. I don't really care if an ASIC algo is an ASIC algo, its when a GPU or other algo is supposed to stay with that relevant hardware.. and then it does not.

My reply above elaborates on a lot more, but I wanted to also address you directly. I appreciate your straight-forward feedback in this thread and I'll make some changes moving forward.

I completely understand your point of view and appreciate you taking the time to share it.

Up to now I have not had a site (took it down for a big revamp in 2018 and it just never made it back up), always felt Reddit culture to be toxic and never enjoyed the formatting for in-depth guides/research/posts -- its just a very shallow experience IMO and then as far as forums go I originally really enjoyed Bitcointalk but again to be honest having your threads deleted and without explanation or a simple quick PM convo is extremely discouraging.

With the above in mind, my only outlet to create content is video, I've been really fortunate with my YouTube channel gaining traction and even continuing to grow through the bear market. This is why I've put a renowned focus on creating a new website that can serve as essentially a blog and just general about/contact --- maybe some cool end goals would be to add useful calculators, like halving countdowns, mining profit calculator etc (nothing revolutionary but maybe a nice layout or simply covering x y z that isn't covered on other sites/calculators)

All of the above is also why I've started posting written content here - https://voskcointalk.com/t/initial-impressions-of-the-bitmain-antminer-k5-nervos-ckb-eaglesong-asic-miner-mining-22-a-day/172
I'll also port my content over to Bitcointalk, like shown here - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/initial-impressions-of-the-bitmain-antminer-k5-nervos-ckb-eaglesong-asic-miner-5239032

The issue here is that the formatting is completely different so.. basically all of the formatting needs to be re-done.

I hope this at least gives some background on why I've been just copy and pasting onto Bitcointalk lately, I do understand the feedback here in this thread. I don't want to seem like I'm just spamming my videos here, so I will look at adding more content to my posts and deleting irrelevant information and links

I've seen that you are a content creator. Well done. Just this forum is about discussing, not about redirecting to your content. There are rules about that and since you are at the limit (and sometimes beyond) of those rules, it's not unexpected that some reported your topics and they got deleted.

As the others also posted here, you have to provide here more info, some basis for a discussion here. Even quoting some relevant parts from your article(s) can be a step forward. A smaller list of links also would be nice.



I don't say this to criticize you and it's ultimately you who has to decide if you make the topics forum friendly or grow angry about the deleted topics. Just this works better on written articles..

This comment caught my attention. I have some similar thoughts as Phillipma1957, maybe it's an age thing.
The subjects catch my interest but when I see it's a link to a video I usually give it a pass.

I find video is used too much when text and maybe a couple of stills is more appropriate, especially howto videos
displaying a computer screen while the producer is narrating the action.

My crypto dev system has no speakers and that's where I do most of my crypto related browsing.
The only vid of yours I've watched was the one about the mining farm in NC, I actually went to another computer
to watch it. I found it very interesting as I'm sure I would find many of your other topics if it was more accessible
to an old boomer.

You make good videos some are entertaining and nice to watch.
Yeah mods here and mods in regular  sha- 256 btc mining are brutal.

But it used to feel  like you were more into here then it does now. The resining is partly because you left a lot of click my youtube video.
It is tough because you have a decent following on YouTube and some people resent you for it they know you get money if they click on your link.

This time you had enough content that I could do some research on the topic without clicking on your link.
This is where is gets complicated.  Writing an answer here is hard to do.  But if I feel it is 100% click bait I get annoyed.  This thread was not 100% click bait.
Which is why I opened a dialog with you.

Crypto has become more of a grind for me and less fun then it once was.  You are young and I know you put a lot of energy into it. But you need to have some fun with the actual product of mining gear etc. It is best when you show you believe in what you are talking about.

Hey I have 9 xmr mining rigs why is that because xmr has continued to develop anti asic tech.

Here is a commercial link to bitcoin forum market place

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/all-sold-some-xmr-rigs-for-sale-maybe-all-sold-5238641  I am trying to sell 3 lessor xmr rigs to get a super xmr rig

essentially I hope it makes more sense $$ for me to do it.
but I also want to support the xmr algo because the developers are fighting basics.
and if you look at my signature I believe in alt coins and pc/gpu mining wrapped into and around btc mining.

I don't believe in a rip-off xbox game which it looks like you warned us correctly about in this thread.

Hey Phil great to hear from you and I hope you're doing well in this crazy time. Thanks for the merit too.

I have tried to flesh the description more, but I won't deny that I copy and paste the information here onto the forum along with a link and uploaded thumbnail.

I just typed this above but I've had numerous threads deleted without any notice or explanation, I cannot even post into the Bitcoin sections of this forum most, if not all, of my threads, have been deleted there.

Lately, I've been really missing writing out some content and it's actually why I've been trying to shake off some rust writing a couple of basic introductory pieces, here's one I wrote on ASIC miners https://voskcointalk.com/t/what-is-an-asic-cryptocurrency-miner/69


In the future, say take this thread, what would you have enjoyed I added to this forum post? Fleshing out each talking piece I had in the video w/ a supporting screenshot? Ex. the E3 and firmware tweet, the screenshot of ravencoin, veil, and zcoin all expressing interest in progpow? Would love your feedback.

after some mods deleted my threads without ever explaining why, I lost a lot of interest in fleshing out a forum post -- just to hope it isn't taken down

Ultimately I'm a video creator and not a writer. I do enjoy writing from time to time, here's a basic (intro level article) I wrote within the last week - https://voskcointalk.com/t/what-is-an-asic-cryptocurrency-miner/69

Check his topics history.
All they do is to redirect to his blog, his youtube channel, his ref links, his social media.. everything.
It's just a business advertised on bitcointalk imho.
(Of course I don't deny that some of the topics he covers are useful).

I gave you merit because it is interest info.  You even wrote a little info here.

I do wish you would flesh out more when you post here instead of setting the clicks to you tube.

This weekend it was reported that a new Nintendo Switch game release was MINING CRYPTOCURRENCY SECRETLY!? With the gamers Switches. Let's find out what happened and other recent mining news! Sub to VoskCoin - http://voskco.in/Sub

Pretty exciting news when you're a Nintendo Switch gamer and a cryptocurrency miner to hear that a new Nintendo Switch game release, Cooking Mama, was apparently secretly mining a cryptocurrency blockchain with gamers Switches. Reports flew in that everyone's Nintendo Switches were overheating because of a secret code and miner were built into the Cooking Mama game causing them to mine crypto and thus overheat?! In addition to the crazy Nintendo Switch mining rumors, ProgPoW discussion is heating up yet again. Ravencoin RVN has ProgPoW on their testnet, and project Veil has ProgPoW on their devnet, and Zcoin XZC is interested in changing their MTP minign algorithm to ProgPoW as well, but they are requesting help from the creator OhGodAGirl Kristy Minehan. Bitmain has also patched the Bitmain Antminer E3 Ethereum ASIC miners, so these Antminer E3's can now mine Ethereum again, even though the ETH DAG file size is larger than they were ever anticipated to be able to mine! Oh and VoskCoin launched the VoskCoinTalk cryptocurrency and blockchain forum.. super cool right?!
