Hello community,

please do not forget to withdraw your ALPS coins from graviex!

https://alpenschilling.cash/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/graviex_delist.png

You can trade on CREX24.

Andreas

what happened to graviex?

Quite eager to know why it is delisted !!!

Because they had a minimum requirement in terms of the total value of trades (in BTC) per month which being such a new project we weren’t hitting. We are now listed with crex24.com which is better all round anyway.

What speeds were indicated before? It's the first time I have seen this miner and it is damn quick, best think since sliced bread. Well done dev and alpha release is very stable for me. I'm actually getting better results than indicated here.

Hi,

Is there a way to activate a saved MSI Afterburner profile when mining a particular coin/algorithm? I know I can set power, mem and clock settings from AM but the Voltage tweaked profiles would be so much better.

Thanks

I've just started to mine IntenseCoin from 6th jan.. last two days some mining pools were down for a day.. Before that i mined 100 ITNS per day.. right now estimation output is around 30 to 40 ITNS
Most likely the increased network hashrate that is coming from Nicehash or a Farm. When it happens the difficulty rockets and your income drops. Been happening 24/7 recently, they dip in when the difficulty drops and out when it rockets.

I was just about to say to "osnwt" that our versions of what an investor does are obviously very different.

Wikipedia:

An investor is a person that allocates capital with the expectation of a future financial return.
A trader is person or entity, in finance, who buys and sells financial instruments such as...

So if you use exchanges to trade - you are not an investor, you are trader.
If you hold them for future returns - you are investor.

And both make money.

As for Stocks Exchange, yesterday I posted Heads Up warning to all here that STEX exposes abnormal behaviour. Posted screenshots and suggested to take coins back. At that time I got withdrawals literally in 2 minutes. I regret that you have issues getting coins back, I was afraid to have the same, so warned ASAP so people could do the same. I hope they will recover funds. But as for me, I will never use this exchange due to its complete lack of support (again, see what I've written yesterday).

LMAO, I wasn't even going to bother replying. You stick with Wikipedia's explanation of what things are in life, that's fine and I will do things my way thanks. I'm here to make money and that involves putting money into things I think are going to make more money.

You do not have to use Stocks Exchange if you are investor and miner. You can mine (as miner) to local wallet (versions for all major OS available) and then hold it (as investor). When we see a real value for the coin, more exchanges will add it by own initiative.

But if you want to mine and dump ASAP, then you need an exchange. But then hardly you are investor, aren't you? :-)
You know, there's a thing called "trading" that a lot of "investors" do. Smiley That's when you send your coins to an exchange, trade them for BTC when the price is high, then buy some ITNS back when it's low (from people that "mine and dump ASAP"). You can do a lot more money by trading the coin rather than by just simply holding it in your wallet. And that's what investing is all about — making money — isn't it? The problem with ITNS though is that you can't do any trading at all at the moment, cause the only exchange that has it is the shitty stocks.exchange that doesn't work: it takes hours to deposit/withdraw, and now they completely disabled the ITNS market, and on top of that for some reason my ITNS balance there is negative now. Cheesy

http://i66.tinypic.com/vqrxpi.png

However you put it, it's no good for a coin to be listed on a single exchange only, especially when that exchange is ran by incompetent people or hacked or scamming etc (all are real possibilities in this case).

A negative balance! I thought my issue with them was bad enough! Does that mean they will come after you for a payment to get back in credit! Hope yours gets sorted to.

Thank god i am not alone, appreciate your sane comments.

I was just about to say to "osnwt" that our versions of what an investor does are obviously very different. You need to be able to Buy the coin as well, hence you do need to sadly use Stocks Exchange. I switched mining to a more profitable coin to then sale and buy ITNS as I could get more that way. Mining the coin directly is not the only way to own it.

Sadly in my view the current exchange (stocks.exchange) is holding back ITNS. As an investor and miner it's really pissing me off so much so I have changed to another coin for the time being in terms of mining so I can avoid having to use Stocks Exchange.

Oh you wish to get personal which is sad and doesn't really help the matter. Look at Twitter it is full of problems for this exchange, it is not just me. I feel your reply has a hidden agenda. And yes investors sale and buy back to, that is what I did and I made a profit on the very same coin to compensate for the mining issues. I still hold ITNS so your view is mistaken. With one exchange it is very easy to manipulate the price.

Also you tell me how I traded those coins last night, made a profit with them and today they are not even in my account! How can that be a good exchange, your comments are just daft.

I have clearly stated my problem is not with ITNS, it is the exchange.

Oh and just in case you missed it, i'm wanting to take my ITNS out of the exchange and put back into my local wallet, but I can't do that as the exchange has suddenly decided my original deposit which i traded is still being deposited! Go figure....

As an investor and miner it's really pissing me off so much so I have changed to another coin for the time being in terms of mining so I can avoid having to use Stocks Exchange. On top of that the yoyo difficulty due to NiceHash or some Farm was taking the mick and I can see it has annoyed a few others on here as well. But in comparison to the Exchange issue this is nothing. I would really appreciate the Dev's input on this when they have a moment. Trading is time critical and stock.exchange makes that virtually impossible. Its like lag on a console/pc game but only 100 times worse and more costly! How the hell can I deposit coins, trade them for several hours, make a profit and then the next morning find that the coins I deposited were not deposited and its still in progress! The profit I made in terms of coins is still showing but the initial deposit has gone! That's just f*c*ing stupid.

Sorry guys not trying to FUD but this really needs looking at.

Guys check out the exchanges Twitter, its full of problems with people and missing funds or deposits/withdraws taking days. Its like buying something from a new online store you usually check out reviews first to see if they are any good. They have avoid written all over them.

How do we buy itns if stocks excange shows the balance after days? I really like this coin, but when I had to buy the price it had already risen a lot. I bought, I would like to do it again, but this situation is unreal. Need a new excange, now!
I agree it is a nightmare and not a way to trade. Stocks.Exchange should stick to trading banana's, but then again they would have gone rotten buy time they do anything. By the way I am not dishing ITNS at all, love the coin and still holding, though not sure how much with Stocks.Exchange screwing about. Looking forward to just getting what I own back in my wallet.

Please can we just have a new exchange devs? Appreciate the work you are doing but this one exchange just isn't working. Thanks Smiley

Here's the latest from StocksExchange from their twitter feed. You may encounter some problems trading ITNS.

Thank you for your good information.
Is it easy to list new coin on StocksExchange Huh
Generally do they pay any money to them?
I would like to know this coin would be listed on another exchange in the future!

To much bad to be true, im getting stressed working with stocks.exchange, today getting a "processing" message for a deposit ( not ITNS ) at least for 2 hours.
This is unreal.

It is a joke and putting me off this coin as its a nightmare to trade it. I deposited 27k last night and sold some then bought back a while later. Now today all 27k are missing and it is showing as a deposit that is processing. Looks like some sort of rollback is in progress, doesn't give me much confidence. Its a shame really as it is nothing to do with ITNS, it's the damn exchange. At the end of the day... What is the point in a coin if you can't trade it! We really need another exchange.

Any plans to ban nicehash from the official pool?
Ban is not a solution. Algo itself should withstand nicehash threat.

The devs already banned nichehash users a few months back because the difficulty alogrithm was keeping the difficulty stuck at a high levels for several days even though the big hash miners or nicehash users already left. That problem was addressed by using the Sumokoin improved algorithm which adjusted the difficulty algorithm quickly depending on the network hash rate. A fork of Intense was made and after that, the nicehash users were allowed again.

During the time that Nicehash was down, we saw big spikes of mining hash rate going into the network and the main pool. Even without nicehash users, it was clear that there were big miners coming in when difficulty was low and going out when it was high. I think banning nicehash users now will only benefit those with big mining farms. Nicehash at least allows us ordinary users to get a big hash rate even for a while without spending a large amount of money to build mining rig farms.

Good comments, thanks for the input.

Hashvault does not send coins, stocks.exchange no deposit coins.
what are the problems?
I haven't had any issues with them. What's the problem with Hashvault? How many coins do they owe you? How long have you been mining with them and what is your hash rate?

Hash Rate
248 H/s

Total Due
14.4891335000 ITNS

The last payment in the morning was

stocks.exchange:

1009.99 ITNS   0.01 ITNS   PROCESSING   2018-01-09 10:08:50

Hashvault have been in the process of upgrading their website for ITNS mining. The "Default minimum payout (wallet)" used to be 50 ITNS but this is changing to 0.1 ITNS. Perhaps that is the issue? Don't stocks exchange give you are Transaction ID once the payment goes through? Sorry I haven't used them for a few weeks. I have read somewhere about a delay though at present with payments due to something having to be done manually. This was another coin I think.

Extra note: Might need to go careful in regards to minimum payment being 0.1 as that could be in regards to the old site/pool in order to clear out the payments. The new one is still advertised as 50 ITNS. I have been receiving smaller payments than 50 so hadn't' really looked into it. Maybe someone else can help clarify the situation or just contact them.

The payout minimum used to be 5 ITNS, now it is 50... that's an insane 10 times increase. Makes this pool entirely unpractical for me with a single CPU mining rig.  Sad

Ah bummer, try finding another pool with a lower payout. Sad thing is you would end up with 14+ stuck on hashvault, so maybe stick it out if you think you can get the other 35 needed. Good luck

Bad First Experience:

Mined for > 24 hours on http://itns.globalpool.cc , lots of shares.
-> Since the last 3 days the balance stays at 0 (while the submitted shares number is pretty high)

I wrote a Mail to the admin, no response.

So I stopped mining and don't like intense now. 24 hours of costly energy for no reward at all.
Please let me know if this is a known problem or if it wasn't, take off the scam pool from your first post

Its not a common problem on Intense, I have used several pools with good experiences. What is your Hashrate? Ahhh/// Just looked at the pool's hashrate... that's the problem and why you haven't been paid. They haven't found a block. Move to a bigger pool if you want more regular payments. EG: https://intense.hashvault.pro/en/#!/

Nicehash traffic is hopping Intense pools and ruining mining for small miners.

Network hash rate simply doubles at times from 8/10 to 20+ MH/s and difficulty skyrockets.

Totally agree, Nice Hash is a pain in the ass. They dip in till the difficulty is sky high then jump out until its low again. Becoming a joke really.

Of course, and many small miners meanwhile have quit Intense mining because of low reward.

itns.west-pool.org has blocked nicehash traffic this morning. I'm sticking with them. Every intense pool should do the same.

And what a reason, if another pools have nicehashports?)) You are only lowering your pools hashrate) Good luck!

Problem with NH traffic is that it is episodic, probably hopping in just before a block is found to get most of the reward with insane hash rates for a few minutes while others have been mining there for hours and are left with almost nothing. That's what screws the system, not the high hasrate.

Just look at network hashrate, it was 21 MH/s 30 minutes ago and now it's half of that. This can't be good for network.

I don't know how pools are calculating payments, but some other pools / coins are adapting PPLNS system instead of proportional, to discourage this predatory hop in / hop out behaviour.  

this is almoast normal for network.and there is no wrong calculation. This hashrate gives you an additional cheance to find a block. But thete is a real chance, that the time of nh user will not be ever payed if pool gont find any block.

That's a joke lol, with that hash rate (NiceHash) of course they are going to find a block. That's why when it happens pools I have been on that find blocks every 5 minutes or so don't find any for an hour+. I agree about it being pointless moving to anther pool as it is a network issue if NiceHash can mine ITNS. Also I wouldnt want NiceHash on my pool to find a block as the reward would be pitance. PPLNS may well help, at least make the person buying the Nice Hash power pay more as they would need the hash power for longer.
