Here's what I do.

Mine the most profitable coin. With the profits buy your preferred alt-coin for speculating. Bills are paid and you have your coins.

The other way is to mine your preferred alt-coin at a loss, meaning that, you pay more money towards your electric bill, than you would if you bought the coins. Time/money/electricity is wasted and you end up with less coins for your money and a lot more wear and tear on your hardware.

TL;DR, If the coin you plan on mining isn't profitable, buy it instead of wasting resources trying to attain it.

Seems so, I can collect my rewards once more.

Ok, I think you'll find that your program will used by a lot more people if you open the code for inspection on github.

If you have nothing to hide, it shouldn't be an issue for you.

Open source is the way forward, and even though you're being forthright in your replies here, I'm still very hesitant to download from the link you've provided, regardless of whether it has viruses or not.

So what's the difference between this https://github.com/Demion/nodevfee and what you're offering?

Have you got a github link for this?

That's funny, you've only been a member on here since 2013 and it was actually 1983 when "this thing began".

I've got to hand it to you though, you make a prediction thread on here that spans a year, then you go on to make mini predictions within the thread for the same year, and now here we are watching you make predictions "decades" into the future.

I'd compare you to Nostradamus, except some of his predictions have actually come true

Switch to windows 7 or linux, you'll be good for another while.

This thread is dead.

GPU mining is alive and well, nearly 5 months into this year.

Look at the bright side, you've got just over 7 months to make your new thread "GPU mining will die in 2019". 

Stack them up, because every person that has said the same thing in previous years, has been proven wrong.

It's working again hurray

Not showing in the web wallet but they're showing up here https://explorer.whalecoin.org/

V4 https://network.whalecoin.org/ isn't working

I hope you've got paid by that pool, there's a lot of people that haven't got paid, I can't see how they're not scamming people, you can't mine blocks with 314 coins anymore, all blocks are now only worth 250 musicoins.

If you're looking for a good pool to mine musicoin try here https://gmc.epool.io/

If you want to solo mine you can use these places https://2miners.com/solo-music-mining-pool http://music.ehashcoins.ru/ Although as stated previously, it's not recommended, you'll make more using a pool. Good luck!

33 pages, TL;DR.

We're now in April, did it die yet?

I'll come back and check on this thread on the 31st of December, before I proclaim you to be a very ineffective seer

This guy again You do make me laugh with your zero day FUD.

FYI, I can easily buy bitcoin right now with my credit card and even with Paypal, who would've thought that in the digital age you wouldn't be able to purchase the digital currency of your choice with your digits on your digital credit card.

Talking about digits, how about you put your "own" digits to better use, and be more productive, maybe by helping folks out here in the "Altcoin mining sub forum", rather than spreading nonsense about Bitcoin.

You might gain some respect that way, instead of people rightfully taking the piss out of your BS threads.

You could fit 6 rigs on one of these, I use it for 4 though. Just cut out some plyboard for the base and hang your gpus using cable ties or string. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KCGL4PW/

I'd grow a copious amount of weed, smoke a lot and trade some for Bitcoins, then I'd sit back, get high and wait for new all time highs, so that I can cash out and go live the dream  

GPU mining will never die. Profitability, on the other hand, could be wiped out for a lot of people, depending on their individual electricity/rent rates.

So yea, the title of this thread is sensationalist and it should read something along the lines of, "Profitability from GPU mining will crash/be wiped out, in 2018".

You will "always" be able to mine coins with GPU's even if it is profitable or not.

Of course it wouldn't be smarter to mine LBC and wait for a bullish market to return.

What you need to do is look at my example again with DCY and swap it out with LBC. What's smarter mining LBC at €6.20 per day profit with your electric paid, or, mining ETH at €18.60 with your electric paid?

If you had a choice of buying €6.20 worth of LBC, or €18.60 with your mining power per day, which would it be?

If you want to "lose some" why are you even asking about speculating?

Essentially what you need is a crystal ball/seer/soothsayer.

In a bull run it's easy to predict "coins" that will rise in value, because one way or the other, all altcoins are linked to the value of Bitcoin. When Bitcoin rises, so will the altcoins, or the majority of them at least.

The same holds true for a bear run (which we are in right now) only in reverse. It's easy for me, or anyone else, to predict that the value of most coins will fall in value, which they are currently in the process of doing.

That being said, if someone did suggest a coin to you and you went off blindly mining it, even at the expense of earning less than you would mining ETH. Would you begrudge them if you mined it for a week/month/year and then it ended up being worth nothing? Would it be their fault for suggesting it to you? Or, would it be your own fault, for not doing your own research in the first place and seeing what options are open to you, rather than taking someone else's advice.

If mining ETH is the only profitable coin for you to mine at the moment, why would you mine something else at your own expense when you can just buy those other coins with your profits from mining ETH?

For example: In one day I can mine with thirty 470's and get €18.83 in profit from mining ETH in one day according to this https://crypt0.zone/calculator/s/s01wqjhg

But if I want to mine Dinastycoin (DCY) I would only earn € 6.20 in profits per day. So wouldn't it make more sense to mine ETH and buy over three times more DCY with my profits from ETH, rather than mining DCY for the day?



I guess it comes down to this, do you want to speculate with your own money, and are not interested in mining for a profit, then just buy the coins and forget about mining, or do you want to speculate with your profits from mining at no extra expense to yourself.

If I suggested to you to mine DCY (which I wouldn't) and you went and mined it, every day you'd lose over €12 in profit compared to mining ETH. Do you think that by mining DCY everyday for a month is the right choice? €12 x 30 days = €360< that would be your loss per month compared to mining ETH. If you believed that it was still worth it mining DCY even at that loss, because you believed it would surpass ETH in value. You could have bought an extra €360 worth of DCY in that month if you continued mining ETH or the most profitable coin and used your profits for speculating.
