As a holder it's not healthy to avoid watching the crypto market from time to time, most especially now that we have so many new altcoins, you can't invest in new altcoins and not keep a serious watch on them because anything can happen, I've been able to pull out my money from a altcoin before it collapse because I'm on watch

Would have give this one a try for just few days pointing my hashpower to grab some coins but it's a shame there is no mobile wallet for the coin, I don't use laptops and I use my desktops PC for mining only, try build a mobile wallet and see how many will get attracted to the project

The closer the better but won't matter if you are using Nicehash, that software performance sucks no matter which location you change it to, after changing to Viabtc pool I knew the huge difference instantly, no more rejected shares or stales, now it's just accepted shares in huge number with no single rejected shares after two days of mining nonstop

Don't bother, wait for bear market and buy coins and hold for next bullrun, it's too late to start building mining rigs now where profits is sinking and difficultly is rising, it would have been a different story if other popular PoW coins are more profitable to mine than ethereum

There are different definitions to been rich, for me I just want to be financially free and have a good life, there is nothing that comes close to been happy and having peace of mind in this world, not even money can give you this

Re: Tech companies no longer "friends"

The "FAANG" (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google) are now near a monopolistic position in their core areas and they are using it to make extra profits. But the are winds of war, e.g. Apple disallowing segmentation for Facebook and Google or charging in in-app purchases to third parties.

Apart from Facebooks try with Libra, is there anyway they could start competing on the blockchain world? My take is that they should.
It's always about profits making, even if new innovative technology gets launched those who build it up did it to make money, as a matter of fact there is nothing that's completely free in this world, about libra and other I don't think it's necessary because we already have too many crypto coins right now, instead of building coins it's better to make use of the old credible crypto coins

Re: Is this still a good time

Is it over already or it's not too late to invest in altcoins right now? I'm new to this crypto thing and I've been told to invest in top altcoins or BTC but the market isn't looking so good and I don't know if this is still a good time to invest or wait for red market
For some it may be a good time since the market still looks bullish but for me it's not a good time because most top altcoins have reached a new ATH already, I might be wrong as well but the best time to invest is always when coins lost 95% of their value, that only happens in bear market, the best time to buy coins is bear market

by

on 01/03/2021, 09:16:47 UTC
Hi
I am newbie
Please tell me what is best wallet for trc20 and for computer or web browser no phone
and i want it for low money for example transfer $5 or $15 for buy something online
Which wallet is better that not stop transfer  because of the small amount money
thank you
If the entire purpose of the wallet is just for USDT trc20 it's better to use trust wallet, it's fully open source and we'll secured but if you plan on having more trc20 tokens in your wallet then better go for math wallet, I've used many Tron wallets before and only math wallet works best for me

If high electricity consumption is what you are trying to avoid you shouldn't have go ahead with a 2nd gen core i5, they are old and they consume much electricity, this is why new CPUs are good for mining rigs, also grab yourself a watt meter on amazon or store nearby so you can actually know how much your whole PC is consuming

Re: Have 4GB Cards Gone Obsolete with ETH mining?
by
Claudio99
on 23/02/2021, 15:53:47 UTC
I had some cards laying around since the 2016 mining frenzy, and decided to recently build back my rigs on SMOS.

I noticed though that all my 4GB cards are hashing at 8mh/s while my 8GB cards are hashing at their normal ~30MH/s speed



Is there any way to increase the mining speed for those 4gb cards? They are pretty useless at those speeds, especially their power draw is the same as when they were hashing at ~28

Would appreciate any help in getting those 4GB cards to hash some profits with better hashrate.

Running Phoenix Miner v5.5 (Tried previous Phoenix versions as well)
You can use your 4GB card to mine ETC

The highest yielding ETC pool is 3qpool.com

A card can cost about $1
ETC is still less profitable than other altcoins like conflux or MWC (Wimble Mimble Coin), presently with a RX580 4gb you can earn 2.4$ per day mining WMC and the altcoin have large volume so selling will be easier

Re: alt season over or about to start ?
by
Claudio99
on 23/02/2021, 15:48:54 UTC
just wait 1 week more, if this etherum price decline continues then the altcoin season is over and it's time to be bearish. but if it is still stable or even rising, there is still hope that the alt season will continue.
Honestly I don't know why people keep expecting crypto 2 keep going up and up without any correction, that is nearly impossible, correction is what makes bullish season to become more stronger, I've been waiting for this correction since a week now and here we are today, to be bull season isn't over yet

My dear Lord, can this just stay around like this just for a day? This is crazy, anyways I doubt it's going to last though, same thing is happening on ezil and few other ethereum mining pools too, God I still remember that DeFi season in 2020, that was the most profitable month of all, miners cash out big time

Re: FOMO on GPU mining
by
Claudio99
on 22/02/2021, 14:58:17 UTC
We have so many newbies among us and of course FOMO is working on them, in 2018 many are forced to sell their graphics card at a very cheap price after bears took over the market since eth mining profits have gone so low, everything about crypto is timing the best time to buy graphics card was few months back and even January 2021 was still fair enough but not still that good, you have to hunt for gpu at cheap price, I'm sure something will happen this year when mining is not profitable anymore not everyone you get their return of investment back

Why alibaba? I hope this isn't the first time you would shop on that website, if it is you need to be very careful, the ASIC might be faulty and you won't know until you get the item shipped to you, better buy from eBay, Newegg or Amazon, 45$ per ASIC miner is unbelievable

Re: 400$ per GTX1660 Ti

Presently is 400$ per gtx1660 Ti a good buy? Now that no one knows how long mining profitability will keep up, is this a good price to buy or I should let go and wait for later? The offer consist of just three of this graphic cards right now, what do you say?
Op it depends on where you from, if electricity isn't an issue for you then buying the card for 400$ shouldn't be a issue, even if bear season comes you can keep mining, I've seen people do this in the past and I laughed at them, now they are big bosses

The price is definitely cheaper than in my country (about $500 right now for 1660 Ti). With 1660 ti you can get about 30 Mh/s for each card which can earn you $4/day right now and with that you can hit BEP at about 3-4 months and if you need to buy other part for the mining rig then you'll need more time to break even. Keep in mind that the income right now is very high (it used to be sub $1/day last year and about $2/day early this year) and can decrease as the network difficulty keep increasing, the activity of ethereum network, the talk about EIP 1559, etc. At the end of the day it's your decision whether you are comfortable or not with this kind of risk. You can probably sell the card for $100 if the market crash later and a lot of card flooded the market.
There is no point in selling the card for 100$ when ethereum mining is not profitable anymore, I would advice to keep mining because crypto space is season base, gather the coins in bear market and wait for bull season again, there are many who are now rich because they keep mining Ethereum in 2018 after bears took over the market, now they are in millions, satoshis will be satoshis but value worth us all that matters

The scenario that i stated is when the market crash which mean all crypto crash and if he want to keep mining other crypto to gather the coin that means he will mine while losing money in electricity. Of course if he can afford that kind of expense and want to do that then he can keep on mining but it's hard to justify high electricity bill while you have no other income to pay it.
You do have a point but this is why I prefer green energy for mining, even if bear season strikes it won't take a hit on you, for example I mine with the sun 🌞 , I have 1200 watts panel on my roof and my miners only consume 400 watt combine, enough electricity everyday and the rest energy flows into my battery backup for night mining

Re: And yet another problem for promoters
by
Claudio99
on 20/02/2021, 16:37:35 UTC
Yeah it is definitely a problem for project developers if they have to send hundreds of small transactions to the bounty hunters every week. It's very likely that the fees are higher than the actual transaction value in that case. Maybe it would be a good solution, to send only 1 transaction at the end of the bounty instead of small transactions every week
there is no need to keep sending transaction every week again the bounty campaign is already over and the team are owing bounty hunters 3 weeks payment so it is something they can send at one time but the fact is that gas fee is still very high so my suggestion is they should just use Tron network instead or lite coin or ripple this coins are very cheap transaction fee

Money keep going into Bitcoin accepted,  but altcoins are able to get this far because of Bitcoin and presently I believe bitcoin is still very bullish so there are still chances that bitcoin is still going higher which makes more room for better growths on altcoins, I believe altcoin season is already here

Things are a lot different this time around in 2017 bitcoin all-time I was 19000 dollars and by January 2018 all altcoins coins are already triple in price, some even more, but this time around things are different, bitcoin manages to hit 55000 dollars and not all altcoins are pumping right now that is enough to confuse anybody that this bull season is different, probably only meant for useful of coins only
