Another worthless fork.  We don't need any more chains.  Hopefully this will die quickly.

No.  They specifically said the coin burns would not be announced before they happen numerous times.   Of course it's visible afterwards.

When you want to call someone an idiot, you are better off doing it in front of a mirror.

Turned 3 ETH into @ 22 ETH with the pump and dumps on this scam coin.  Thanks OPTI!

If it gets down under 17.5¢, I'll buy in again and go for 44 ETH.   

Once the team announced they wouldn't make the coin burns public, I didn't think anyone would fall for the pumps anymore.  That's insider trading at the most basic level.  Not complaining.  Wink

Hold your ground guys, the new RTX is not worth to even try.
So, the ASIC company will be more aggressive to enter the market I think. NVIDIA just rolled their blunder this time. After that, before even try to realize their mistake, NVIDIA profit will be then killed by Xilinx.


Xilinx are not capable to produce enough cards unfortunatley Sad

What is the current daily profit for one now?  Seems like buying the coins low with the Fiat is a better alternative than mining, even with the FPGAs.

I shut all my 1080s off once profits went under $1 per card after electricity.  Z9 minis are still doing nicely though.  Hopefully a big pump after a Bittrex listing for the ZCL/ANON fork makes the minis really profitable.  Kids (4) are all happy to have a nice gaming rig on every TV in the house though after re-purposing some of the mining cards.  No more fighting about playing PUBG, Fortnite and Minecraft now.

The prize is way below the ICO prize now and can be the best buy spot. The token has been recently listed in coinmarketcap so I expect good volume and some prize spike in few days time. The exciting thing is that it is a low supply coin and can easily gain in value. Good luck to every for holding on this long as the project has been evolving. Just one more good exchange will surely kick the ball rolling

Exactly! There is a lot of manipulation on BTC Alpha, pushing price down and buying off weak hands. Everything is according to roadmap. We have proven our use case early on, where our first strategic buy back brought a 400% increase in price. With the algorithmic trading coming towards the end of this month these buybacks will become a regular feature. Another exchange is almost sealed, we're are just agreeing on the details. We are not worried about price, only about strengthening our team, listing on new exchanges, developing the algorithm and setting up a marketing strategy.  Wink

It's awesome actually because you can substantially increase your supply almost daily riding the peaks and denes.

TEAM UPDATE

Opti has achieved a major milestone its in road to success, measured by adoption and stability. Distribution to all ICO buyers has been completed successfully and the token was listed on BTC - Alpha  (https://btc-alpha.com) where it opened strong, hitting 4.76$. Temporarily OptiToken reached a market capitalisation of 471 million, leaving it at number 35 in the global crypto ranking. Since then we have seen we a high demand and look forward to operate in a strong market.

The traded volume remain on a high level, demonstrating an interesting level of trust in a growing community. Also Optitoken is already listed on CoinmarketCap, however the market conditions subject to a high change therefore the datas is not always up to date.   

Token Buy-Back and Burn

As determined in its roadmap, OptiToken executed its first buy-back cycle with trading profits, leading to a surge in price of approximately 400% at BTC - Alpha! The tokens bought back (91,167 Opti) were burned, leaving a total supply of 99,908,831 Opti. 

These strategic buys will take place regularly from now on, and increasingly once the algorithm is fully functional.

Will they be announced beforehand so that traders can plan accordingly?

This is absolutely essential.

Re: Bitmain launches the Z9 Equihash miner

I am debating if I should buy the 2nd batch, since I have the $250 coupons?! What are you guys doing with the coupons? I have free electricity included in my apartment cost so I would be happy if I could just ROI in  half a year. But I am afraid those will become doorstoppers eventually?!

With free electricity and coupon i'd give you the green light....sounds like zcash is not gonna fork now so you'll always have a coin to mine.  Even though all the z9 ever made(and the faster more effecient ones coming out) will be on it with you, you should be good with the free power and the low consumption on this device to at least ROI and not get your apartment supervisor angry at the high power bills(for awhile anyway).  But yeah this guy will be a big paper weight in 3-6 months, so if you expect your free power situation to change i'd say no.

What are you talking about? Zcash just did a vote at their Montreal conference and will be putting ASIC resistance on the back burner. https://www.coindesk.com/zcash-governance-panel-shoots-research-asic-resistance/
By the time they get around to it, ASIC mining will have a strong foothold and the GPU miners will go searching elsewhere for the few scraps left; if not shutting down entirely. Since most of the mining hash will be derived from ASICS, I am sure they will get increasing push back from their ASIC mining community. Who is going to go along with turning their coin making machines into bricks?

Same reason s9s are becoming big paper weights...too many s9s and better newer models coming.  Also I’d expect all equihash coins to fork including zcash eventually so ya big paper weight one way or another.

Yep, do not underestimates asic manufacturers such as bitmain's ability to spam the market. Considering it takes very low electricity to even make a couple of dollars a month, majority of these machines will not break even I believe.

Impossible,  all first batch owners will break even before the next batch ships.

im abandoning antpool , although i'm going to monitor what the next luck% is for their next block(if they ever find it). I bet its going to be a joke like .2% luck.
JOKEPOOL

Blocks really slow on other pools now too.

Anyone using the password field to set static difficulty on Suprnova?

Just wondering if there is some optimum setting besides just using the ccminer port...

I’m happy to have your accountant argue with our accountant, but on our end we have to do what the professionals we pay to handle all this tell us. I’ve had to eat $500k in VAT before because someone “didn’t think we were supposed to charge it.”, and I won’t do that again.

I don't need an accountant, dealing with custom rules is my daily job. More details in DM Wink

The point is the rules aren't going to be changed.  They are going to protect themselves from VAT charges.  Buyers can either suck it up and pay them or abandon their orders.  No need to continue.

I thought LUX is ASIC/FPGA resistant after they forked to Phi2?
No algo is fpga resistant  Tongue
they stated it will be, it will be interesting to see who is correct in the end Tongue
As i have not oredered a FPGA i do hope the LUX team will be able to stay ahead of the FPGA programmers. If they are able to make requirements so you need new FPGA it is like ASIC resistance which is as good as it can get.
But i dont have the skills to do more than hope hehe.

Since FPGAs are programmable and also they can have their memory changed (at least some of the FPGAs I've seen use normal PC RAM), how can a developer make an algorithm that's FPGA resistant and not GPU resistant at the same time?
But most importantly, WHY would anyone do that? FPGAs are like GPUs but capable for anything except gaming. Sure, GPU mining is a bit easier at the moment, but you still have to find the right miner and set the correct clock speeds. FPGAs can be as easy to use in the future.
As long as they're open source and not closed like the ASICs which will be turned into useless heaters once an algorithm change or the manufacturer decides to release a faster ASIC, I don't mind FPGAs taking over GPU mining.

I believe coin developers are trying to keep it fair to everyone, but if their algo is tuned right, it will have the same hashrate/$$$ invested.  We just dont want anyone with a 3k$ hardware to crush a 300k$ gpus farm.  Theres nothing wrong in being efficient, just make sure its fair, thats all...  Up to know ASICs and FPGAs has been seen as unfair thats why theres so much hate towards them, clear this issue and lets welcome more efficient hardware!

But we do want $3K in hardware to crush GPU farms.   We need $30/day per FPGA or the first batch of the newest ASIC is much more appealing.

Please focus on bitstreams for Equihash coins that have forked away from ASICs and all the Lyraxxx coins.

Can you clarify the MH/s increase question?
That 30 MH/s figure is per GPU or per rig?  If it's the second, does it matter if there are 1, 2, 3 or four cards?

From my understandings each acorn will boost 4 gpu's 30Mh/s so two would gain you an additional 30Mh/s for a total of 60. This is for ETH and that's about it all I know if certain GPU's will gain more or less I guess we have to wait to find out. Who knows what other algo gains will be if any. But it at least looks like it will make the whole system more efficient.

I thought it was 30MH/s total regardless.   30MH/s per card up to four cards would be incredible.
