Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM.....
‘Wasn’t the most delightful.’. Lolol. Stop being nice, just say it for what it really was. A mf’ing boooring race. 
I actually missed watching it live so I watched the replay after seeing the results online. The first lap was really great then saw the same top 6 or so at lap 21 as the result, I quit the replay.
What was the line for Verstappen after quali?

It actually was really boring. Bottas spent all race behind Ricciardo. Perez was never going to pass Hamilton. Huge time gaps across the board. Good thing they didn't use Mexico as a sprint race!
For some people might say something like that will happen, but maybe there will be a way to deal with inflation without having to run to bitcoin, inflation has always existed even before bitcoin, and that problem can also be solved. we just don't know for sure how it happened. CMIIW
I don't think to conclude that the entire countries in Europe will face inflation because those countries are not 3rd world countries. They can surely find some way to solve it and be back to normal. Just as you said, a major economic crisis has happened in the past, where they faced more problems than this one. But right now, they have some good opportunities to choose bitcoins whenever they felt the recovery of their economy will take too long.
That requires a massive assumption that they actually want to reduce inflation.
Profitable or not the writing is on the wall. Mining needs to die. Its just not sustainable. It was good to start but now needs to change. No matter how you spin your profits its better to sell the equipment today and (smartly) invest those funds. Blockchain will evolve and mining cant be the future.
I sold all my equipment last month. I loved mining, it was a lot of fun and a big boost to crypto. I was glad to be a part of it. But it needs to change. Its a waste of resource to make and power all these systems. I never felt right about it. I feel so much better now that Im out.
Rest assured, when the markets tank crypto will soar. I just hope mining has transformed by then.

Re: PhoenixMiner 2.9e: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Windows)
switching from wallet 1 to wallet 2, a lot of loss of time and of course the loss of time for startup phoenixminer, must be an easier way for this, without the waiting times and the start-up time of the Miner itself.
As advised in the previous replies there are so much simpler solutions utilizing wallet transfer of the mined eth... However if you insist on a complex solution then I can program solution utilizing the remote management API and epools.txt. Send a PM message to get my full proposal for the not free solution.

To add.. I would just run two instances of phoenix on startup. Program 1 mines 6 GPUS to one wallet, and the other instance will run 2 GPUS to another wallet or however you want to allocate the percentage split. The time limit switching as everyone else has said, is a not as an efficient of an approach.
right now if you have the money then only buy coins, sale will end very soon, 10 April, i see these prices to last few more days and then price 2x and then your best bet is to buy gpus and mine, well you still have the choice to buy coins with a good price.
i rarely leak things, if you followed me on this post 2 days ago, you already made 25% - 70% more profit, the 2x is coming.
For once Metroid is bang on. Break out the bubbly!! Buy buy buy, the jump is coming
Re: PhoenixMiner 2.8c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Windows)
Thanks
Since I was able to run 8 instances of claymore in one computer, I assume I would have enough resource to do the same for phoenix then. I start 8 instance also for benchmark reason as well. Particularly I was able to measure the true output for different brand gtx 1070/1060 rx 580 gpus: eth/hour on a particular gpu.
Which nVidia driver version is consider to be good for Phoenix miner?
I've had no problems with Phoenix or other miners using the latest drivers from nvidia. If there was ever an issue, you can roll back to older versions.
Re: PhoenixMiner 2.8c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Windows)
Also I would like to know if I start 8 instances of command windows to run Phoenix miner on 8 gpus of the same rig, is there any performance penalty on that?
This is what I did for claymore right now. each miner takes -di # (# is a single digit between 0 to 7 representing 1 gpu)
8 instances of claymores, each mine to a unique eth addr.
If one gpu crashes the miner but didn't cause system hang, the other 7 conitnue working w/o restart. the crashed gpu would just restart automatically 30 second ~ 20 minutes late depending on how bad the situation is. If I start all 8 in one instance, it would restart all 8 gpus as many times as it could until the single crash one became stable.

As long as you have enough ram and processing power there shouldnt be a performance hit. If you dont have enough resources then yes.
Ill often run 2 instances of a miner on the same system. Four cards on claymore and four on Phoenix to test the differences over a few days. But I have more ram and processing power than a mining computer typically needs.
Re: Crypto is dead because credit card companies stop crypto purchases
Jeez.. talk about someone joining a forum to spread FUD to the max. No clue on what crypto is or what it stands for.
This is the only the beginning. Except the laws and banks to clamp down even harder. And expect crypto to grow even stronger. I feel stupid to have to even clarify that around here.

Monero fork in ~48 hours, get yer bags ready. 
What do I pack?? Is Metroid coming with?
Re: The Gap Between Reported Hashrate and Effective Hashrate in ETH Mining
Great post OP. Thanks for writing that out.
I get the comments that it is difficult to read, however on a public forum where someone is volunteering their time to share information, there are nicer ways to offer the critique that it could be more nicely formatted.

Re: PhoenixMiner 2.8c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Windows)
I get 3 Mh/s per second higher hash rate in a 9 card 1060 rig over the same rig running Claymore 11.6. However Claymore is currently producing 0.05 more ETH per month on the same 9 card rig in my 48 hour test. Big fan of phoenix though, will come back and try them on the next release.
Ethereum network total hash rate just got ATH yesterday at 272 TH/s... How crazy! With mining profitability decreasing like this people are still joining and building new rigs!
ETH is no longer GPU only.
As a different point. A lot of people believe in crypto and will still build rigs when profits are down but I dont think thats whats going on in your example.
Of course, because every alt is based off BTC price. If BTC goes to $0 so does every single coin. Until the system changes that is how it will be.
You wrong about that, eth will take the lead in 1 to 3 years, i do not think is time for that yet, but it will be a time where eth will be top cause is a much more complete digitalcoin than anything in the market right now.
ETH can't even handle cryptokitties. I also used to think that it was going to surpass bitcoin's market cap but right now I am not sure anymore. I think its an overpriced coin and something better (Cardano?) can replace it at anytime. ETH devs don't even comment on the upcoming PoS fork. You know why? They are afraid. ETH owes most of its popularity to GPU miners. When ETH loses its most hardcore shills (which are GPU miners btw) it'll lose its popularity lightning fast.
On the other hand Bitcoin has Lightning Network which is going to pump bitcoin even further this year or the next. When a fool proof app comes out, it will be glourious. (0 fee, 0 second payments)
While Peter Thiel is going long on bitcoin, I think it is stupid to say that it will lose its popularity.

If you have any faith in bitcoin, it makes absolutely no sense to think ETH isn't part of the package. If you are willing to compare ETH to Cardano, feel free to compare BTC to pretty much any coin that has no function. The comparisons don't work that way. The crypto sphere needs both coins to continue to grow, and they will in time.
