yes send some to cash at least 20-25%

There's so much volatility these days I convert my mining gains straight to USDT.  We are already making a ton of money the only risk remaining is that the market suddenly crashes.

sure it handles the pandaminer with 8


I gave up on decred but  and a big but  my gpus don't stress on eth alone

3000 watts earning quite well 1.8 btc per month

30th  of s-9 earns 0.4758 btc     so almost 4x the btc for the same power

I wonder if there will be a firesale of 480s, 470s when 5XX Vega series comes out.

I sure hope AMD doesnt do a 290/390 trick again..... selling basically a 480 with some memory upgrade and rebadging it as new 580 series Vega.

During the talk, Andreas spoke about the possible 51% attack -- reading between the lines without too much detail I think he was referring to an example .... the ETH fork not too long ago and how the ETC supporters bought all available Dagger-Hashimoto hash from NH at premium and throw hash at the ETC network to catchup with ETH network.... Vitalik was in the audience and ... Andreas didn't go any further on that discussion - but yes, I get him, I think when push comes to shove BU supporters will probably raid all available SHA256 hash for rent from NH to overtake SegWit fork. So when that happens, I dont mind selling my hash at premium. Call me opportunistic but WTH man... I am really sad if BTC comes to this stage.

According to Andreas, if the 51% attack happens -- there is only a "7 block" advantage and.. guess who has the hashing power stashed away in the Mongolian desert.

GPU mining.... hmmmm.... I think we are looking at a new "Trustware" platform, and it will certainly be GPU minable because software+hardware convergence although will be fair for all (and as predicted by Phil... so many hardware vendors will benefit vs only Bitmaintech profits).... it will not repeat the BTC's case of Bitmaintech dominating ASICs hardware. This is just my opinion. I am taking a big bet on ETH mining since, adoption by major exchanges and Coinbase already favors ETH. So I think ETH is safe haven for now at least short term until POS in 2018. I wonder is  ETH is the benchmark of a "Trustware".

Phil , did you fix the Decred to NH issue ? or just satyed with Eth only ?

Another point : do someone know if SimpleMining can handle 7 GPUs with MSI Gaming5 ?

Thanks Citronick for the feedback !


More GPUs ? what will you choose to expand now ?



Nicehash , or something else ?

That is an INCREDIBLE price! 

there is something to be said  for this gpu

http://www.diamondmultimediastore.com/radeon-rx400-series


it is loud it is a bit hot but the price is good  for a rx 480 8gb card. 199.99 with free shipping

don't flash bios  just use smOS  set  at

 1025  core
 2100 mem
 2      powerstage

I have tried many different GPUs and have found the MSI RX470 Gaming X to be the most efficient, quiet, cool GPU on the market.  The strapping is also very easy to get the most out of this GPU.

link to video please.

My suggestion to all is balance your portfolio.

look at the math for today 1 pandaminer on eth pointed at nicehash
uses  1100 watts  and earns 0.023 btc

3 ½ s-9s pointed at f2pool  does 44 th uses 4500 watts earns 0.023 btc

not to mention

 1 used  pandaminer can be had for about 2200 usd from me

and 3 ½ s-9s  are more then 5000 usd [/b]  plus  the psus for the panda vs the 3 ½ s-9s is another 250 more for the s-9's

The swing to the pandaminer being the better deal at this moment is amazing.

What really amazes me is no one has said phil  sell me that pandaminer

(FUD is a mofo)

I am posting this for sharing because I think it will impact all of us since Bitcoin is in the centrestage of all of our alts mining activities now. I am posting my comments only here in Phil's thread because self-moderates the thread....

Just came back from a Bitcoin local chapter talk with guest speaker Andreas Antonopoulos, and lo and behold Vitalik Buterin in the audience. I wanted to ask about the Segwit vs BU issue in Q&A, and well I didnt have to -- Andreas jump straight into it.

Very interesting talk about cultural gap between software mindset vs hardware mindset -- hence this battle between Segwit and BU, how Bitcoin is going to survive a hard fork and the emergence of a new platform that comverge software and hardware and maintains the glory of decentralization, ie. Trustware.

The video of the talk should be up in Andreas's Youtube channel in a few hours.

My team had a meeting after the talk and we decided on some contingencies, pending Segwit vs BU bloodbath around "a few weeks before October". We will be investing more on GPU mining and Ethereum. Btw, will move the 2PH BTC farm into rental market before the war starts. When things gets risky and volatile, it's better to rent, sell the picks and shovels to goldminers than to mine the gold yourself - think Levis Strauss.

OK - thats enough yadda2 for the day. Watch the video and make your own decisions.

deleted the post  as the list does not need repeating.

This idea of mine has been proposed by me  before ZEC was around I said that companies were doing ETH.
AND I proposed that a coin would be created to replace ETH  for this purpose  OF SELLING PC GEAR and boom along came ZEC.

There will be new coins  if and when needed.  Since they sell gear.

apply your "" generously

Can I urge people to remove the 5-6 full page images in every single quoted reply? Its getting pretty tiring to scroll through page after page with quoted images that aren't even needed.

Here's the Windows wallet: https://zcash4win.com

It was designed to start without a lot of pre-mining    so the actual coins available are small  about 900,000

with a cap of about  70,000,000 it does not need much  cash into it to prop prices.

For some reason I have never liked ZEC it just looks as a worse monero to me. The shielded adresses are good but who uses them ? You can't use it on pools, exchanges don't use it either for performance issues so whats the point ? Monero has more or less all that built-in directly and by default. Don't get me wrong I like the underlying scientific work they are doing with this coin. Also I was looking for a windows wallet and couldnt find one which is weird ! Even pascal coin has one.

Now I understand the coin is hot AF atm but I highly doubt it will hold its value mid term. Also why constructor would support a particular coin rather than another ? There's no doubt hardware manufacturer are watching the altcoin mining closely but why ZEC in particular ?

I made this list up below on a locked thread.

Add

AMD
INTEL
NVIDIA

and zec  looks like it has backing.

Thanks Phil , following your troobleshooting advice, I found that my 2 first pci 16x slots are faulty. Even with only one GPU on the pci slot , I got 4mh.
But If I move the gpu on another slot , it works properly.
I don't know why.

That's only 3 on the 5 slot that are working (it's Evga Z170 FTW).

I'll have to dig deeper.
First try windows again to see if the MB is damaged or if it's only SM linked.
