Re: Learning to trade

I have been learning how to trade btc and altcoins by myself and having my experiences. I read online articles on trading signals and what to watch out for.  I've made some profits and lost a good deal.  Good thing I started with very little capital. Right now everything looks so negative especially as btc went so bearish.

I need advice on how to improve my trading because I really want to do this Angry

don't follow any trading signals they will confuse you , if you want to learn, learn from books and learn from every mistakes you make
if you keep practicing markets will teach you everything try to learn from them

How do you tell when the rally has lost steam?

There will be a few sell-offs that result in small drops of $5-15, but it quickly recovers.

This rally is probably going to continue all the way to the halving and then a little.

I'm trying to send some coins from the console, and I'm getting this error:

What is "gas" in the context of Expanse?

Version 0.2.2 has been posted which fixes a silly mistake I made where the --idletimer (-it) command line option was interpreting the value as minutes rather than seconds.  Oops.

Re: The big VTC Vertcoin settings thread

I'm running an R9 290, and here's my settings:

Code:
-w 256 -I 16 --thread-concurrency 27400 -g 1

I get 375-380 KH/s, which I suppose is decent, but sometimes when cgminer starts up, my entire system crashes.  It'll say cgminer is starting, then the window goes blank like its about to start, but then my system locks up.  I can move my mouse, but clicking on anything does nothing.  Alt-Tab and CTRL-ALT-DEL do nothing.  After about 15 seconds in this state, my entire screen goes black, and it stays in this state until I manually power off my computer.

But it only sometimes does this.  And when it works, it'll work as long as I need it to.  Once its running, its perfectly stable.  It is only the initial start-up that has an issue.

0dayscoincom already not opening Smiley

Its back up now, but I would recommend people DO NOT USE this site!  I deposited 50K and placed two orders.  The orders never showed up in the lists, and I can't withdraw the 50K because its currently tied up in unfulfilled orders.

I won't cry "scam!" yet, though.  I think the site is just really buggy.  The dev probably didn't test it enough, or he's developing it live.  Either way its bad, and I wouldn't touch it for a few days, or only trade tiny amounts.

I talked to the dev and the site has been fixed.

CoinYe West will be a total joke, it will never be worth anything.  Angela's one-eyed cat could create a better crypto currency with it's good eye shut.

Just posted 0.2.1 which fixes adds some error messages in a couple error conditions (instead of silently dying) and makes it so the application-based throttling actually *does* take priority over full-screen app throttling.  The .zip now also contains a .bat file to run CGMinerManager with default settings.

I've released version 0.2 which adds a --fullscreen option to detect when something is running full-screen and automatically reduce intensity.  From the README:

Quote
If the --fullscreen option is specified, then the pixel at location x, y is checked when the program starts. Note that 0,0 is the top-left corner of the screen, and 1679, 1049 will be the bottom-right corner if you're running a 1680x1050 monitor. This pixel will be checked on every poll cycle, and if it is different from the value it was when CGMinerManager was launched, then the intensity will be adjusted to the value specified on the command line. Note that throttling by running application takes priority, so if the full-screen app intensity is set to 12, but you're running MyApp.exe with a "-t MyApp.exe 13" command line, then the intensity will be set to 13.

On my 1680x1050 screen, I use "-fs 12 0 1049" which makes it check the pixel in the far bottom-left corner.  It will normally be part of the task bar and will be a grey color (I use the Windows Classic theme in Win7), but when I'm running a full-screen program, it will be colored something else from the program, be it a game or a video.  When this happens, cgminer's intensity will get reduced to 12, giving that program more GPU time.

Announcing CGMinerManager - Automatically adjusts mining intensity
by
Sohcahtoa
on 31/12/2013, 02:42:20 UTC
How many of you people are like me in that your mining machine is also the machine you use for everyday computer use and/or gaming?  This GPU is great, but I can't mine at full blast on it while playing games, and I want it to mine at max intensity while I'm sleeping!  Sure, you can manually adjust the intensity in only a few key presses, but its easy to forget.  Nothing sucks like waking up in the morning and noticing I forgot to set the intensity back up after I finished my Skyrim marathon the previous night.  That's lost hashing which is lost money!

Enter: CGMinerManager

With just an easy to use command-line application, mining intensity can be adjusted automatically for you!  Just launch it with the settings you want, and go about your business and it will automatically adjust cgminer's intensity based on your running apps as well as whether your computer is in use.

CGMinerManager is written in Java and open-source, so you have the security of knowing that this is not a trojan that will steal your wallet.

Binary
Current version 0.2.2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mj9ggdt7f2pkf1p/CGMinerManager_v0.2.2.zip

Source Code
https://github.com/Sohcahtoa82/CGMinerManager

Quick Start
CGMinerManager requires the Java Run-time Environment to be installed (http://java.com/getjava).  Unzip the download wherever you want and open a command prompt in the directory you unzipped it in.  Then type:
Code:
java -jar CGMinerManager.jar
This will run with the default options which will make the intensity get set to 17 while the computer is in use, and 20 when it has been idle for 30 minutes.

To make CGMinerManager reduce intensity if specific programs are running, use the -t flag.  This can be used multiple times.  For example, to have intensity reduced to 13 while League of Legends is running, but 11 while World of Warcraft is running, you would run:
Code:
java -jar CGMinerManager.jar -t "wow.exe" 11 -t "league of legends.exe" 13

For more options, including adjusting the intensity while the computer is in use or idle, see the README.md on the Github page.

This program is being developed by a broke university student.  Is this program useful to you?  Consider donating!  I can accept multiple coins:

Re: CGMiner - how to stop difficulty increasing?
by
Sohcahtoa
on 31/12/2013, 00:56:12 UTC
As far as I know, the answer is no.

You have to understand though that the "difficulty" that a pool tells you to mine is different from the actual difficulty of the coin itself.  Really, the difficulty the pool gives you just adjusts the amount of work you do before returning results.  Giving you a low difficulty when you have a high hash rate means that you're banging the server more frequently, asking for more work and returning results, which will greatly increase server loads, which can kill your pool.

Is there an option to auto-sell my coins that I'm missing somewhere?  I'm a slow miner (100 KH/s), so getting tiny amounts like 0.00029534 WDC ends up being useless to me.  I can't sell them because its less than the transaction fee.
