Not too long now. I think the alts are beginning to slow down since bitcoins just hit $15,000 which is its new low for the week. I think alts will dump in the days as this is the time we should already be transitioning to bitcoins again. Prices are quite low at $15,000 and that is a good price point to buy since I do think it will hit $20,000 before the year ends.
I really don't think so, but it will kill shitcoins, yeah. Some coins/tokens bring something new and innovative, and they will survive as well.
If you don't really trade then you have not experience the inverse ratio of bitcoins and altcoins. This has been historically done over and over the past years. When bitcoins go up all alts usually go down and die, well not die die. They just go really low and there would be anymore equality. People will see that prices of alts are so low and they will end up buying those back and bitcoins will also go down.
I don't think so, since bitcoins are really driven by supply and demand, I think this is just a proof that demand is really going up and never will supply meet the demands for it. So I guess this is a result of that and I think it is not over yet.
Nicehash considered a pool?
It is quite good to mine at nicehash. You are paid bitcoin directly.
I am only using NVIDIA cards, they are quite better and stable for mining...also lot of alt coins...
maybe i would buy few Vegas to to mine monero but not sure if it will bring stable earnings for long.

that is right. I started using nVidia cards as well.
Any plans to add CUDA support or make a NVIDIA Zcash miner? I find the other miners for ZCash on cuda severely lacking in features compared to your miners. 
I heard Claymore had an agreement not to develop nVidia ZEC miner.
Is 12.5 the last planned version?
It is the latest working version.
is flypool having problem? my balance and sharerates no update...
It has the same problem here.
and their system never care to update balance, i just wasted hours mining on flypool without getting anything.
anyway, i have switched back to minergate pool.
I thought the mining balance is still accumulating.
could someone suggest cpu and ram to go with that MOBO. TY
If you plan to mine XMR with the CPU then look for Xenon CPUs else any cheap Celeron CPU will do. And for RAM any 4GB DDR5 will do, find the cheapest and you will be set.

CPU mine need AES-NI.
My 480s run at a constant 69 degrees, even the 390 is only running at 70. No undervolting, standard clocks. Just open case miner.
Hell I have been running my 280s for 3 years and have not had one fail. Good air flow!!!

70C is very safe temperature.
Is flypool having a problem paying out atm ? The last payment I had was almost 1 day ago. I have currently set my payment amount to be 0.1 ZEC - I am averaging about 0.65 ZEC so I normally get a few payouts a day. I am currently about 0.5 ZEC short - any ideas ?
I do not have this problem. How big is your immature balance?
It has been decided already. BTC works in every single department. The only way BU can cause the disaster-hardfork is if Bitmain invests even more millions on hashrate to cause teh 51% split, then we will see the hardfork but people will quickly dump BTU for BTC because a coin with inferior software centralized in china is just nonsense.
I do not think the hard fork will happen below 75%. The hard fork will be decisive. They will be no prolonged battle.
Every single thing on this planet changes, upgrades, whatever name it.
Why not accept BU? Because some folks are going to lose the capita?
Why don't they thing that we need faster, cheaper BTC transactions in the future?
For me it's 100% normal to switch to BU like in a decade we must change to the new BU version 2 and going on...

BU will never be accepted by the community because it is a centralized company trying to do a hostile takeover of Bitcoin. Core are a volunteer bunch of developers (some of whom are paid by MIT and Blockstream) but any developer can volunteer to work for core and help make Bitcoin better. BU want in install a president of Bitcoin, not all the code they release is reviewed, not all the code they release if visible for anyone to see, and all developers are paid employees. So if BU ever manages to take over the Bitcoin chain, Bitcoin will lose 90+% of its value within 2 years, people will move to independent alts. Who wants a company managing Bitcoin?
So Core developers have released an update called Segwit to improve scaling. This should allow about twice as many transactions as currently allowed and fixes a known bug, but it paves the way for lightning networks which will provide off blockchain transactions for some Bitcoins transactions that are instantaneous and should cost less than 1-5 cents.
Segwit has already been tested and released, it needs support from miners. They are worried about Lightning network so most are not supporting it and many are supporting BU instead.
BU's bigger blocks can also mean smaller blocks, the miners decide on the blocksize, so in theory they could vote for smaller blocks and thus higher fees. Whilst BU promise lower fees. The other issue with larger block is the larger the block the more decentralized the miners become. If the blocksize went much larger quickly only data centres would be able to mine as no one else would have the bandwidth or storage needed. If the blocksize were to hit 4mb in the next year or 2 then the whole of Austrialia and Africa would be unable to process the data needed to mine due to bandwidth. So that is 2 continents without any possible mining.
Larger block sizes still has some merit but BU has none. If you are after speed, and cheap fees going offchain with LN is the way forward, and Segwit is needed to get to LN.
BU is not dead, and if it dies someone will come along and try and fork Bitcoin.
Last point this is all or nothing. If there is a hard fork to BU then BU has to spend all of its resources killing off the Core chain (they have a $100m kitty for doing this). BU have to do this as if they let a core version of Bitcoin survive everyone will use it. BU is paid internet trolls in USA and a few Trump supporters mixed in with some big Chinese miners (who may be trying to kill Bitcoin on behalf of the Chinese government, or may just be greedy.)
If the Core implements big block, there is no need for the Unlimited. I think Core should be more open.
if i wasn't 100% sure before that there will be NO FORK, i am 100% sure now.
i just read this myself on the wall observer topic so i am going to share it here also.

with this we are sure that F2Pool which is one of the biggest mining pools out there, is not going to support BU and without them and many other miners who are not with them, we can safely add BU to Classic and XT and Unlimited,...
and as far as price is concerned we can expect $1200 pretty soon.

Some miners will support the BU. So they will move out of F2pool. We will find out in the next few weeks.
Re: Why I want the BTC ATH $1242 breached and become the floor. To Kill FUD dead. :)
the gox price was bullshit. it's still bullshit. if it makes people happy then let's go for it but it's not a figure i think is very important. anyone citing it as the all time high can't be bothered to do their research.
The price reached more than $1240 in some exchanges. I think it is sustainable.
Re: Why I want the BTC ATH $1226 breached and become the floor. To Kill FUD dead. :)
ATH = $1242 @ Mt Gox
You cannot count that BS price on Mt Gox when they were ALREADY insolvent and did not payout $$ withdrawals, hence btc price on that exchange was constantly $100 higher since smart people were converting all fiat currencies on MtGox to btc, then withdrawing btc.
I agree but MOST FUD'ers use that $1242 price to justify their view BTC will fail. Remember I want NO DOUBT that the ATH is killed from 2013...FUD of the future will continue
but they won't be able to beat that old ATH to death as proof we are all deluded....
yeah its a pet peeve I admit it
But yeah factually I take your point..but gonna leave this figure as my goal post
The $1242 price is not a good indication as that is from the Mt Gox.
Re: Why I want the BTC ATH $1242 breached and become the floor. To Kill FUD dead. :)
I find fud funny. I only take my savings serious and fud doesn't damage them at all.
I vote it never crossed my mind.

That is right. The fud will not prevent the price to go over $1242.
Do not say that zcash party is over, zcash party not yet started. HYIP was at first month , but now zcash will look for application on darknet markets.
The Zcash is consolidating.
We are near 800 this price so it's matter of time now will it be today or tomorrow think that before Xmas we will see 800 price for sure
I thought it reach it already. The price is $7 more than what it was yesterday at $788 when I last looked at it.The price is still below $800. We need more good news for the price to be over $800. Or it might take a few more weeks.
