This ^. It’s not that Ripple is good or bad, but that it fills a niche. Banks would never get involved with a fully decentralized cryptocurrency, Ripple provides a tool for their business.

My issue is with XRP. I see no real correlation between the success of Ripple and the investment potential of XRP. Ripple deveoped XRP as a proof of concept to market their tech to banks, and released it into the wild to survive on its own merits. Holding and trading XRP is effectively hosting a free tech demo for Ripple. One in which Ripple has a vested interest in having succeed... for now. Once Ripple is established XRP is no longer useful as a promo.

Even so, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing and XRP may survive and thrive in and of itself, which would be a testament to Ripple and their tech. However, I think the distinction between XRP and Ripple is lost on most and when the reality is made clear, XRP may not be the best place to have your money.

That isn’t at all what I said and your reply is nothing more than a straw man.

If you registered those domains during your time with BCI as part of your job, they belong to BCI.  If you registered them yourself, outside your position at BCI, you’re a domain squatter.  Either way, you have demonstrated a lack of integrity.  Why, then, would anyone else here want to hire you?

Please elaborate. I’m still not connected / synced.

When you start a new topic, you can choose additional options. One of those options is self moderate. That should allow you to deal with them in future topics. However, I don’t know if you can change that option after the thread is created.

The purpose is to increase their post count so they have increased credibility when they shill their own scams and FUD others. There’s actually a market for their services and businesses built around it... sad as that may be.

Might be too late to be asking this, but are Electrum BCI wallets good for transfer to the new chain?

Report it.  I've seen the same post from three different users. The links don't match.

So, it takes you near 6 months to address this kind of problem and respond.  Thanks, no thanks.

You should post what computer equipment you have available currently so people can direct you to what you can mine.

Very interesting.  I look forward to seeing the data.  Watching.

I should have been more specific.  When I said burned cables, it was actually the plug at the power supply getting hot enough to melt and darken the wires at the plug.  When the plug gets that hot, it seems to melt together with the socket and become brittle enough to break when you unplug it.  That’s what I figured happened to the socket on your card.

I was lucky.  I had one card behaving erratically and found the problem when I removed it and the cables.  Afterward, I checked my other machines for signs and found the darkened wires, so I’ve been replacing them.

For reference, my power supplies were all Seasonic 1000 watt platinums with the 14 pin to 2x 6+2 vga.  I recently bought a new Seasonic and they have changed the vga cable plugs.  I thought it was coincidence, but maybe not.

If you’re handy with a soldering iron, you can get replacement sockets.  IIRC, they’re molex 8 pin mini-fit jr.  Also, some overclockers solder leads directly to the card and ditch the sockets completely.  Others here might be able to help you more in respect to these options.

Swap out the power cable to the card and check the 8 pins at the card and at the power supply. Should probably check the mobo atx plug and pins as well.  In the last few months, I’ve burned multiple vga power cables on machines that were fine previously.

Failing that, swap the card to a known good slot / power position and see if it works.

Sounds interesting. IMO, worth checking price feasibility. I just ordered a set of risers and was thinking something similar would be handy.

Bittrex has suspended new account requests (since December) except for corporations and "special invitees."  IMO, the fact it's 2.5 months later and still in effect says they're only interested in new accounts for corporations and large ocean mammals.

Hi all.  Long time lurker (BTC on Radeon 7950s long time. lol), first time poster.  I want to thank you all for the information in this thread.

Also, for those of you considering dual power supplies, I have used these to activate the second PS:

No affiliation, blah, blah... just thought you might find them handy.
