Smokers...  I replaced a fan on a PC for someone that regularly smoked cigarettes indoors.  The computer looked rather similar to that photo.

... Ethernet cables contain twisted pairs, and the minimum standards make your comment utterly nonsense.  You shouldn't run Ethernet cables along a power line, but coiling an Ethernet cable cannot hurt anything.

As suggested above, maybe lightening could cause some issues... but that's the lightening causing a problem, not the fact you coiled up an Ethernet cable.

USB risers are anything but a waste of money.  Unless you like annoyingly short ribbon cables for some reason...  They are a $20 (well, less considering you still need $10+ ribbon cables) addition that makes the difference between a ghetto rig and a pro setup.

5x MSI R9 290 Twin Frozr IV
4x Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X OC


Total stable hashrate: 8.25MH/s
Temperatures (in a small den with almost no airflow): 70-79 for the Sapphires, 76-85 for the MSIs.

Beware all - just saw someone booted from the discord for asking for the apparent attacker's addresses. Someone else claimed they were in another channel, which they definitely were not in, then told Work he'd been answered and booted him.

Highly suspect. Given the dev team controls the network thru managed masternodes, and can basically force an update without anyone being able to question it, without actual proof of the re-orgs this might very well be a scam.

Hint: there's absolutely no reason they wouldn't publish the addresses they claim double spent funds, yet they refuse to do so.

Still the best pool!

Pool is working very well! I hope you get more miners intereted.

You miss the point, obviously. Some people like to say stupid and obvious things for the sake of talking I guess.

Monero's existing network isn't going anywhere, the existing chain is going to keep existing. Ofc if you keep mining you'll keep finding coins, the chain doesn't magically stop existing because some "leaders" decided to fork. If people try to call some new chain with no hashrate Monero, they are liers.  Monero mining has been backed by trojaned machines for years, and many of those machines will NOT be updated to the PoW change.  They'll keep mining the existing change.

Don't need ASICs to 51% attack the new chain. But let's consider if someone wanted to... the PR for the CryptonoteV7 algo change has been available for QUITE SOME TIME. Plenty of time to make an FPGA design or even tape out an ASIC if changes are minor (they are).

This is absolutely a chain split scenario. Absolutely no chance it's a clean split because so much of the network hashrate is trojaned machines or ASICs at this point.

This thread is full of noobs who can't see why these miners are an interested gamble.  PoW changes don't work, monero is about to prove that.

Not the worst bet ever anyway.  Will be interesting to see which network has more hashrate after Monero forks - the original chain, or the new fork.  Will the new fork really be Monero if it has little hashrate or, gasp, gets 51% attacked into can't-trust-confirmations oblivion?

Ya... Tenx delivered a card out of compliance with a sketchy provider, and everyone's cards got canceled.  Great experience!  No... tenx has nothing over coinsbank or many other offerings except it had a nearly useless token attached to it.

I'll wait for a company like Monaco to get it right.

Just going to quote myself here for this noob:

MCO is the only company with Visa Program Manager status, which means they operate on their own BIN (first 6 digits of a CC number is the BIN). This is a huge HUGE deal, as it allows significantly more control over the card program.  All the other companies you mentioned are using someone else's BIN and are subject to their controls.

You know they are working with Wavecrest, right? Pure nonsense FUD.

It's not about hope, just facts.  It's super easy to issue a few visa cards that you don't really have control over - MCO team have said from the start this isn't their plan.  If they get approved or not is another question ofc, but overall that seems more likely then not.

Anyone can get a card program set up if they are willing to piggyback on someone else's BIN like wavecrest. MCO unlike tenx or centra is doing it right and going thru the steps needed to launch with their own Visa BIN.

Or... with exchanges and fiat trading on the verge of closing, is that exactly what they want?

Something going on with the deposit page?

https://simplemining.net/account/deposit

HTTP ERROR 500... can't replenish funds.

Claymore - is there any way to disable the "Failed to set new fan speed, check if miner has root access" console message?  I don't want to see the warning 8 times every 3seconds.

100% agreed.  Ignore the trolls like Jollygood.  Customer support?  How about people calm down and wait for the product on the dates they have always given?  There's nothing to support yet except maybe a few trolls looking for attention.

They actually said metal at one point.  And there are other already stated benefits if you cared to look (as detailed my matt above).

Thank-you for proving you are ignorant and trolling.
