Lots of coins going for a song. You'd be cheaper buying than mining

Probably a good idea to do some form of promotion on the exchange. There's a lot of coins on there...

Pointed some hash there for a bit. Good to have competition

My experience with the soil-miners pool is that I pretty much got rewards for blocks I found, less the pool fee. You just need to look at the stats on the site e.g. I found 601 blocks while mining on there and the total reward was 1775.52985500 of the approx 1803 I would get just mining those 601 blocks..... which is ~98% - now even if you deduct the 1% fee the pool still performs slightly worse than solo mining, but fairly close. This doesn't take into account additional coins from transactions (you should get at least some, but granted not many).

You just need to look at the rewards for the addresses mining..... pretty much finding a share = finding a block on there (certainly while I was mining).

You have been woefully mislead I'm afraid. There is absolutely no change in the basic functionality between ETC and ETH since the hard fork WAS ONLY a quick fix to recover coins. Your 99% assessment is also wrong. Read up a little, do some research. You will be surprised at what you can find out.

Once it moves to POS, interest in ETH will wane.

Agreement forked

The newer, more power efficient cards have 4 or 8GB memory now as standard anyway. Good for a while yet. Even the 3GB Radeon cards have a good bit of life left in them.

I'm currently running the proxy on a windows machine but will compile your version on an ubuntu rig and give it a whirl

If ocminer supported the Dwarfpool-style proxy for EXP I would be too. I like to be able to switch about easily.

Just a heads up but Dwarfpool Expanse pool is seriously ill at the moment. Delayed payouts (17hrs) and now not recording shares correctly. It may be a front-end issue and recover but since there are no notices it's kind of hard to tell.....

If it were possible then I would suggest that once the difficulty bomb has been defused then multi-algo POW mining (a la DGB) would create a coin that's unstoppable. I think following Ethereum's POS plan would kill ETC dead and simply extending POW as-is would be placing all the mining power into the hands of miners who have been hostile to the coin.

The difference in the number of coins is pretty small. At the point of the fork both chains had an identical number of coins, so the difference is only about 16,000 coins.

There are probably many coins that weren't held on exchanges that may never be touched on the ETC blockchain as the users may be unable (don't understand how to) or unwilling to use them.

EDIT: Think I misunderstood. The ETH chain is a higher block number, so yes, there's more ETH than ETC.

You also need to take into account people mining on the speculation that the price will increase. I've done that with great success before. Following raw profitability can sometimes end up with you getting the worst of all worlds, due to the delay in getting the coins to an exchange

They're not accepting any new miners but your stats page should work (but not the home page).

I'm off to get a T-Shirt printed:

"You can't mute the immutable"

Congrats guys.

ethereumclassic.com isn't actually doing any accounting though, so unlikely to attract any more miners. It has paid out 0 so far

It's cool. Not like I'm in a hurry to cash in

I'm hashing at epool.io at the moment. For a while at least.
