And I thought 50 to 100 entities are holding around 95% of bitcoin and those entities are not newbies. They been around longer than any of us

Yep every time the whole market is falling BCH is getting beaten badly. I really don't understand who invests in that shit anyway. How about give it a rest and see how the market evolves without it

I don't think size really matters, It's not just an alt, it's competing with bitcoin, with intentions to take the throne and the name is similar. Market cap isn't too small either. Let's not forget there is lots of manipulation in the market and maybe whoever cares about bitcoin being always on top doesn't want to give it any chance. Anyway in my view it's cancer that needs to go away like the other pretender BTG, first slid out of top 10 and then top 20

Year 2018 has been the worst year for the crypto market by far! So what is the cause, the CANCER of it this year huh?

In my view the cancer is BCH (Bitcoin Cash)

As you all know bitcoin is the main driving force of the whole market and as long as gains made by bitcoin cash BCH are higher than the ones made by Bitcoin sorry folks Bitcoin will not let it grow that way.

That's my simple view to why the market sucks this year. In my view bitcoin cash must die if we are to go up. Notice how as soon as bch starts moving up faster than bitcoin the show stops there. As soon as Cash is down bitcoin and market is breathing again. I am pretty sure if bitcoin cash slides to 5th in market cap it will slide to 6th and then leave the top 10 all together very soon. Maybe we will all have a breather then.

Post what you think about this theory.

@claymore

Dear Claymore,

Please tell us, is the miner actually 0.3 to 0.4 MHs slower under linux vs Windows for AMD Polaris cards? It seems that way for all rigs at equal settings.

I suggest mods close this thread right away and label as "B.S. from china topic doesn't belong here".

Lets get over this already, seriously... Anyone who knows anything about ETHASH knows this F3 is B.S.

Bitpay wallet is a total scam!!! They claim to have integration with coinbase, and offer to buy bitcoins using a higher exchange rate from coinbase than you would if directly buying at coinbase. So Anyway I thought by buying through bitpay integrated system and paying the premium would save me from paying a transaction fee to transact the bitcoins from coinbase to bitpay. I double checked the amount of bitcoins I would be receiving, now after actually going forward with the transaction and buying the bitcoins I ended up receiving an amount of bitcoins MINUS the transction fee anyway. Basically a MUCH lower amount than claimed by their app prior to buying them!! Total scammers. Ruined my purchase. I was no longer able to purchase the product I wanted because I was short of bitcoins. Now I need to transfer bitcoins again to the darn bitpay wallet and pay the network fee again to buy the items I wanted.

What a scam.

The new micron card is the best memory ever. 32MH/s and over. Those are not the old micron chips we used to see. Can someone post the optimal strap to use? these can go like way up up in memory oc.

bump, this is really bugging me on 2 different miners with latest version of windows (1709 fall 2017 update) I am still uncertain if its windows, teamviewer or claymore miner at fault.

Hi, Is there something wrong with the late teamviewer versions alongside the most recent windows 10 version? Claymore becomes stuck at "start building OpenCL program for GPU 0..."  if I am logged on with teamviewer. If I am not logged on it starts mining as normal. Once I logon GPU 0 Hangs in open cl and miner continue with the rest of the cards. Thats ofcourse because I have  -wd 0 and -r -1. Otherwise everything works very well until you connect with teamviewer. Is there any setting to be changed?

Where do I get a wallet for this? Bitfinex and HitBTC both refuse to generate a new address.

There are some 1060 cards with power limit way above what it should be and even setting 50% doesn't allow to get anything below 1.0 volts I then used the temp limit to operate them at 750mV and around 1500 MHz... This kept the speed same in ETH especially on micron chips those cards cant go beyond 23 MHs so they dont need any core power at all.

Wonderif we can trick the card somehow to use low voltage

Is there a way to lower the power limit below the minimal 50% on Nvidia cards?

@Claymore

I am noticing strange behavior on one of the rigs with 6x 1080 Ti mining Ethereum with Claymore.

The cards starts mining at 36.1 MH/s and the do fine until there is a problem with the network connection either an actual loss of ping with the pool or a manual cable disconnect. Once the connection is reestablished the cards resume hashing at 35 MH/s instead of 36.1 MH/s. Upgraded to version 10.1 and the behavior persisted.

Sounds like a happy man to have a received a D3 miner capable of doing 20MH/s Have you checked whattomine.com recently? Hate to break it to you, but your profit is $2 a day and heading down fast!

Why do you all even care if there will be a D3+ or not? No miner on X11 will any sense at this point. Those specs are already a useless heater specs. 30 GH/s is nothing for X11 the way it is now.

LOL. Nobody will switch them off until they are free heaters so 0 profit or loss is guaranteed for everyone in December with even a 10 cent electricity cost, eventually some will sell them to people with free electricity so difficulty will keep going up for now.

Pray for a new super coin on X11 Or why not just fork ethereum on to X11 like they forked bitcoin gold to equihash.. at least we will be doubling our ethers the same way bitcoiners are now "doubling" their bitcoins with segwit2x if you know what I mean Stupidity all around really like

Unbelievable how I keep seeing threads here by retarded D3 optimists. Is Bitmain paying you to post things such as, "hey u all don't know how to mine, D3 will roi in 6 months, just wait for price of dash to go up"? No matter what the Dash price does, I currently wouldn't buy a D3 for $400 and that's because after the baikals and novemebr D3s are delivered at the end of November, you will be seeing network hashrates around 700-1000 TH/s maybe more. And guess what the revenue will be then? It will be at most 3$ a day with electricity costing almost as much. So YES a $400 NOISY HEATER is what you'll buy. There were plenty of warnings about this but nobody believed them, even the final dash batch sold out at an unbelievable pace

D3 the biggest scam in mining hardware, the end.

That's for both miners in total and considering the free electrocity
