EXACTLY!!!!

ZCASH and its related coins ZEN, KMD, HUSH and ZCL are all good to have and mine.
ETHEREUM and its related coins EXP and ETC are all good to have and mine.
IOTA an excellent integration concept... worth having in any portfolio.

Hobonickels - PoS coin over 4 years old now and churning out updated wallets recently.
Expanse - ETH clone without ICO and new contracts developed by the dev
ZENCash - ZCASH clone forked from ZClassic implementing SecureNodes, private messaging/transactions and eventually an iterative source repository for publication from the blockchain

Exactly THIS! The joke is going on too long... even the current price is a laugh.

Now, the diff retarget looks like something from 2011 ugh lol... at least Bitcoin held through this whole debacle.

Updated and syncing now... a couple days worth to catch up with.

Will report back with results in the morning.

It is going to be interesting watching the hard stop until a PoS block is minted...

The term you are all looking for is PROTOCOL. Ethereum has a specific protocol for mining with its algorithm. Having a GPU farm, an FPGA or even an ASIC is not cheating or breaking any rule, law or protocol.

If someone does make an ETH ASIC, they won't run very long and ZEC based coins are going to start to get a lot of hashrate.

Check the OP.

The swing wallet for windows works just fine for me. I have had no issues with it so far.

One dev does not make a coin good or valuable... the community and participation does.

I remember when this coin launched... I have several page 1 posts giving away a few CHC from the first blocks I solo mined. The fact that the coin still runs properly and is traded 3 years later shows the community is here. The P&D happens ALL THE TIME to plenty of coins... it is going to happen to every coin at some point.

A good read... it is a shame though.

The idea has great potential so I will continue to watch. ICOs are just not as fun as mining and speculating.

Curious to see what happens in 5 days...

Signature updated.

Please quote us some of this "oblivion" you speak of?

If you mean no new updates for a while... well the coin didn't die while Tranz took a break so... what is it you mean?

As Tranz pointed out before, a good coin isn't defined by it's dev.

We are all glad he is back, and to those who were watching yes there was a lot of movement yesterday hehe. I made a new POS server for someone and HBN was part of their portfolio request. Spreading the POS love.

Hey Hazard... have you been messing around with any of the Equihash based coins? Curious if you have put anything together...

558c0f0963cb771a6475af6e5f1512675683f618aa43898de85288df7ff73f07 confirmed

That term "miners" is a bit too bland now. Are you asking...

1. Do I have to have a unique mining software for each of those coins? A: No, they all mine using the same equihash algorithm and EWBF miner is just one CUDA based application compatible with them all.

2. Do I have to have separate mining configs for each coin? A: Yes, each coin will use a different port for both solo mining and pools will have a unique port of their own with need of address or login info.

3. Do I have to have multiple mining configs or rigs to mine more than one Equihash coin? A: Yes, either a single rig full of cards mines a single coin and you have multiple rigs uniquely pointing to each coin, or it is possible with some miners to specify single or specific GPUs in a multi GPU rig which would allow a single rig to mine multiple coins. Not easy...

EWBF miner has been the best for me for GTX 10 cards mining equihash.

You need to understand what is happening when mining to know how dual mining works. I will give you brief examples.

ETH - Ethereum, Expanse and others are compute light, memory heavy algorithms and most miners have extra memory overhead unused during ETH mining. This allows for dual mining of a compute heavy coin with a light memory footprint, like LBC/SIA/DCR/PASC.

ZEC - ZCASH, ZENCash, HUSH and KMD are all equihash coins and that algo is both compute intense and carries a beefy memory footprint. As far as I know, there is no dual mining with equihash.

Exactly. My understanding is this will allow payments, communication and record keeping verification between suppliers, doctors, patients and merchants. They do not want you using Paragon to BUY your medicine... they want to help the businesses pay for and streamline the challenging operational tasks and maintenance that laws are prohibiting with current available vendors and methods. This fosters the movement to legalize.

Payment is one very small portion of the potential here. Streamlining encrypted information directly from the suppliers data on the blockchain to my doctor who can choose what to prescribe based on that data and live availability and send a transaction to the merchant for me.

That's good to hear. Thanks! How long does it take Evercoin to replenish? I am unfamiliar with their model...

finpunk I will check this out as well and hopefully make some trades!

Can anyone vouch for this? Newbie posting a new exchange link...

Last one I saw some one linked Evercoin for the same thing and that got zero positive responses.

In BIOS, find your PCIe settings and change the settings for the slots... IDK Gigabyte BIOS layout but my ASROCK boards required I set them lower when using a riser.

Also, power matters and I have had some cards just not work on certain power adapters. Is the GPU2 using PSU connected 8 pin or a SATA 4 pin adapter?

Check out whattomine under the GPU section.

ETH/EXP are Dagger Hashimoto based coins and can dual mine with coins like LBC DCR and SIA. On whattomine this is called ethhash.

GTX 10 cards have an edge in ZCASH based coin mining. That algo is called equiihash on whattomine.

Coins I mine with my GTX 10 cards are: ZEC ZEN HUSH and KMD.

WOW what a thread to raise from the depths of the dead posts here.

If you haven't bothered to look back at the OP and previous pages... consider this is now a 2 year old thread... look at the things people asked to be able to buy even 2 years ago!

GAS - Still not great... SHEETZ is on Gyft so I know that works! Can "overpay" to clear a card and get cash back lol!
AMAZON - Gyft ezmode
GROCERIES - Gyft for Target and sometimes Groupons
ISP/UTILITIES - BILLPAYFORCOINS.COM has a lot of payees signed up... my power company is on the list now YAY!
BEER/FOOD - Gyft is awesome! Haven't paid with BTC directly yet but soon!
GAMES - Bought Steam $$$s through Bitpay today. Also lots of Humble Bundles and Blizz Credit (sell BTC to PayPal)
ELECTRONICS - Gyft to Amazon or Best Buy, BTC to PayPal for Newegg and eBay
WEB HOSTING - Been done
OTHER SERVICES - Gotta ask... my lawn guy takes BTC now lol!
