In 2017, this strategy was very relevant, but now it is not working in a declining market. Do not sell your altcoins now, wait until they grow again.
Now, the market is not declining. Naturally, no one can be sure that the good green signs that we have seen will last for long but I will not sell my tokens.
I will not sell. I might use some of them as a kind of currency.

This miner does not work so well on old cards like HD 7970. I only get about 400H/s. Anybody has similar result?
The connectors on the short end are power inputs and the connectors on the long end are outputs??
You got it figured.
So if you're powering a GTX 1080 Ti that uses 250 watts and power is supplied by 2x 8 pin PCIe power connectors, you'd feed the power to the board on the short side. That single lead would give the board the bus power it needs and then the power for the cards would route through the board out the long side connector to a double headed PCIe power lead to the top of the GPU?
I can see how cabling and wire management would be neat and clean. BUT, seems like you'd be pushing a ton of watts through the board as a result.
yeah that makes me nervous too. potentially ~2000 watts if your cards come up at full power due to whatever. are there any published specs on what the upper power limit per card is for this board?
Not many people will run the cards at the full power if there is electricity to pay. I only run them at around 60-70% to get higher efficiency.
In addition, the so-called Difficulty-Bomb is actually delayed and will be part of the 2nd Hardfork of Metropolis. The Difficulty Bomb should cause an expanding difficulty in ethereum's mining. It is an intermediate step for the gradual replacement from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. This is the so called Ethereum "Ice Age". But for the next Metropolis HF in September 2017 this should be delayed to the 2nd part and replaced by a simple Block Reward reducement from 5 to 3 ether per block.
So it sounds like this first phase is going to be the block reward reduction from 5 to 3
if in my place dollar as still more famous than the bitcoin, because here are still very few people who know about bitcoin because the wearer is still rare
Dollar will be always the most famous and one of the must powerful currencies, bitcoin is showing up and it can be an option for the future, it bringed inovation that made some big companies as banks to consider improve their own system, because they were able to see the waste they were having with internal transactions.
Dollar could be replaced by bitcoin in 10 to 50 years.
I am planning on building a mining rig with more than 8 gpus. I've bought 1 to 4 pci express splitters but I had no luck getting the motherboards to boot with more gpus than the number of its actual physical pcie ports. (tried z87, h97, h81, b150). The person who sold these to me said he heard ASROCK X99 EXTREME supports up to 32 GPUS. Now I've seen somewhere on the ethereum dual miner thread that somebody managed to use around 18?, i think, amd cards on linux, but I cannot find that post anymore. Anyone have any info on this? Will a motherboard with X79 chipset be just as good, as they have the same number of lanes? Or it depends more on the bios ?They are rather expensive and I want to hear some opinions before I throw my money.
Most miner software doesn't support more than 8 cards. (hardcoded in the client). I ccminer sp-mod I support 32 cards, but NVIDIA only.
H81 can handle 7 gpus no problem, couldn't make it work w 8 in any way.
Ok so the real question here is, do we buy into REP, ETH, FCT, XMR and the other coins that are getting dumped? Which will bounce back and which will take a permanent loss due to their reputation being permanently damaged?
I think only REP and ETH reputation are damaged. FCT and XMR are OK.
Eth,rep and zcash are dead! 🙈
One person's Rep was hacked. There was a big dump in the exchanges. So the price drop could not last too long.
I have no doubts about the fact that the Dollar will win from the Bitcoin because the bitcoin is still too small and the Dollar is way to big to get defeated. What people also are saying is true the bitcoin is a sort of depending on it.
We can say that although it is getting some problems now due to Saudi Arabia stopped the mining of oil. We know US is invested in there and I thing they got a lot of shares from those company. This is also one reason why oil price is going up. With the lost of this investment they could easily lose some value in their currency also.
And I think that the dollar will always lose Bitcoins. In the future, a growing interest in Bitcoin will grow. This will increase and its price. Since the dollar is not going to happen
In the long term, the dollar will drop against the bitcoin. But the short term price will be volatile.
Is this a troll question? Ofcourse btc is not bigger than usd that would be crazyness and btc would be way higher in price right now than it is. Bitcoin is bit but not that big yet by far. We need more advertisement around the whole digital currency idea for it to get more big.
bitcoin have higher price does not mean bitcoin has greater power than the dollar? yeah until whenever the dollar will be more superior than the bitcoin. yeah it's like a very funny question, surely everyone would prefer dollar than bitcoin
If they know the importance of bitcoin im sure that they will try to collect bitcoin.. we are here in forum because we want bitcoin and we are just using bitcoin as alternative and source of income or business.. usd is our real money we can convert our bitcoin in to usd.. If we compare usd and bitcoin only the difference is the price of bitcoin and we are using bitcoin because of anonymity and price of bitcoin is not stable the price can be high or low. .
The bitcoin price rose about 6% in the last few days. There is no big news to drive up the price. So it is due to the mass adoption. It is good.

Re: What if $1,000,000,000 is pushed into Bitcoin can the Price rise Up?
i think it might be achievable, though anything is possible with the price so i wouldnt pay too much expectation into it right now
yes, you're right, but this time the price of bitcoin down far enough. bitcoin prices must rise to the height before the end of the year and reached a price of $ 1000 or more, because it is very difficult to reach $ 2,000 in January, if the price of bitcoin unstable for now. There is the possibility of bitcoin prices will not arrive at the price of $ 1,000 before the end of the year, but I hope it does not happen, I expect the price of bitcoin until the price of $ 1,000 before the end of the year
I used to think the bitcoin price could be $1000 by the end of this year. But it could be $1000 some time next year.
The Ethereum DAO hack and the Bitcoin Bitfinex exchange will reduce people's confidence in crypto currency.
Well man I don't think 2k$ is possible now that the price of bitcoin is sitting at 668.2$. IMO It will sit at 750$ in the best in the coming block halving that is near because I don't think it will rise more now that halving is near.
$2000 is possible in January 2018. It will not be so high in January 2017. The price could be around $1000 then.
bitcoin is going to $2k in january and $4k 1 minute after block halving. be prepared... be very prepared
first of all, i don't think that price will rise to 4000$ only 1 minute after halving, that is stupid talks only because that won't ever happen, because of many reasons, price rises needs time
and second, price now is 550$ only, price wasn't even close to 2000$ in this year January, so this is also another reason why price can't rise to 4000$ after halving in July
You are right. The bitcoin price will not rise like that. The price is $638 now. It might be $1000 in December this year.
The price was over $710 a few hours ago. It is around $690 now. I think the price could be more than $1000 late this year.
It is difficulty to say. The bitcoin price is still very volatile. It is $540 at the moment. But I still think it will be $1000 in 12 months.
