Thanks, I did that as well but I figured many might overlook it there.


I'm based in EU, I handle import clearance etc. so it's straight forward, just box 'em and ship 'em.
Looking forward to hear what you have available.

I'm looking for people who are looking to get rid of RTX3080 & 3090 cards now that mining is dead.
Please only PM if you have at least 8 units of the same model.

Sounds like a plausible scenario to me, there's definitely an incentive to ruin the largest cryptocurrency to promote regulation.
Even with 51% they'd have enough if they are creating a separate chain altogether instead of competing for every block.
They easily could have stockpiled enough equipment or older gear that was taken out of use to get the additional single digit % needed.

Although as a counterargument, one would expect the decline in hashrate would have happened much faster if it was coordinated.

Given that the current (low) estimate of power usage of Chia is closing in on 5MW (1/1000th of Bitcoin), it looks like they definitely failed to make a 'green' coin.

A few months ago I removed most of my funds which might have triggered something. I have been a verified user for several years though.



Check the document for the source of funds, it'd be impossible for me to even provide the documentation asked.
Luckily I caught it in time to remove my remaining assets.

At first I thought they didn't let me, it luckily was only an issue because I gave a segwit address which they don't support still.
I've been a fully verified customer for several years though so would not expect them to go so far as to freeze my funds without any notice, luckily I caught it in time since my access will be blocked in a few days.

I received following mail from Bittrex:


The link was to this pdf: (image taken from a post from another user on Reddit who received the same)

I've barely used the account the past year, I think they try to disable inactive accounts to seize the assets.
The account was used more intensively before that and has been properly verified for at least 2 years.

The fact that they use personalised links is quite disturbing, I definitely won't be using Bittrex any longer.

I removed all funds as soon as I saw the mail, I've read about a few people having the same thing (not recently though) and they got their funds frozen despite complying. I've got little interest in getting into a never-ending struggle to maintain control over my own funds.



I moved & sold most of my funds several months ago, might have triggered something (eg. they are forced by -fill in favourite intelligence agency- to share transactions to or away from their platform adding up to a certain amount).
Little doubt that they had to make a proverbial pact with the devil to enable fiat trading.

I used to be quite fond of Bittrex and Bill Shihara but this has hastily changed my opinion.
What really disturbs me is the fact that they use personalised links in the mail so they can easily track which users are complaining about it online & copy paste the mail.

Anyone else had this lately? I've barely used the account the past year, I think I'm either under investigation or they try to disable inactive accounts to seize the assets.
The fact that they use personalised links is quite disturbing. I couldn't find many others having similar issues.

Well should the logical reaction not be that assets like gold and bitcoin go up?

It looks more like selling old hardware they never planned to release in an attempt to stay in business.

Bitmain not looking too good...

This works like a charm, except on my Asus strix 1080ti cards.
It seems to pull down the core clock as soon as I start the pill.

Why not use nicehash? You are offering double of nicehash?

Try CUDA 9.1, you'll slow it down with 9.2 unless you know what you're doing.

Although the title may have persuaded you to simply say 23TH/s is impossible, the rumour was started by Kristy (OhGodAGirl) in this interview;

https://youtu.be/A3i3jpJqgoo?t=10m8s

What do you guys think? Is this even remotely possible? As far as I've seen, anything above 15TH/s needs some exotic form of cooling and has insane power usages with much lower efficiency.

'Soon'... Well let's add them to the List of GPU only Champions when they have forked perhaps? And I wouldn't go so far as to say FPGA's won't increase the difficulty of Monero, they are already increasing the difficulty of Monero... But you don't need to take my word for it, you can be surprised all over again when the hashrate drops over 50% next fork and bounces back in a matter of weeks due to quick adoptation of FPGA & ASIC.

ASIC development cycle is getting shorter and shorter and FPGA/ASIC hybrids will be the doom of GPU mining. Good riddance as it's a waste of energy to use GPU for such purpose, the main reason people want to keep GPU mining alive is because of greed as they would see their hardware become obsolete. And I'm saying that as a GPU miner.

Bitcoin gold & private have an ASIC.
Monero's slightly changed algo is already being mined by FPGA.

You can convert Joule to Wh, it is indeed a measurement of amount of energy.
Watt's cannot be converted to Joules directly as much as velocity cannot directly be converted to distance without the input of other parameters to build an equation.


A kWh is not the number of kiloWatts consumed in an hour, same difference as you can't say that 'distance is the is the number of meters travelled in an hour'.
In the analogy with distance, velocity & time; kW/h would be acceleration (how much the energy flow changes per unit of time), kW would be velocity (amount of energy flow), kWh would be distance (how much energy has flown)

You can not 'use' xx kW in one hour, you can use xx kWh in one hour though. kW/h is simply the wrong unit to use. But as an energy industry professional you of course know better

This is not really on-topic though but it is simply confusing to people who have little knowledge about this. It might be that most understand that it's an error but using the wrong units on purpose because everyone understands is not productive. I will not go deeper into this as we might as well be discussing whether the earth is flat or not.


Let's see how it turns out, I do think though that they see what profits NVidia and AMD have gotten and want a piece of the pie. A healthy dose of skepticism is never a bad idea.
Possible profits remain to be shown but I think the claims and motivation behind the project are not unreasonable, time will tell.


Curious to see first results!
