Changes in version 5.8a :

• Added lock core clock
• Fixed an issue causing crashing with some RTX 3060/3080/3090 cards
• Implemented new "turbo" kernels (-clkernel 3) for AMD Polaris cards that can work with the current DAG sizes over 4 GB. Note that -clkernel 3 uses double the VRAM and will
  provide slightly faster hashrate with slightly higher power consumption. You can use the -rvram command-line parameter to specify how much VRAM to be left unused
• Increased the maximum supported DAG epoch to 600 (i.e. until about Sep 2023)
• Implemented full hardware control for AMD RX6900/6800/6700 cards under Linux. Note that with these cards under Linux you need to specify relative core voltage: e.g. -
  cclock -50 will set the core voltage to be 50 mV under the default value
• Added ROCr kernels for Vega, Radeon VII and Navi cards. With these kernels you will be able to run these cards with Linux drivers 20.45 and later but the performance will
  be lower than with the older PAL drivers and kernels. We recommend using AMD Linux driver 20.30 for all cards except RX6900/6800/6700
• Fixed an issue causing crashing with some RX6900/6800/6700 cards under Linux (there is no need to run these cards with -clkernel 0 anymore)
• Added support for AMD Windows drivers up to 21.8.1. Note that Radeon VII cards will not work with drivers 21.6.1 or higher - you need to use older drivers for proper
  operation of these cards
• Added support for AMD Linux drivers up to 21.20 (use older drivers for Vega or Radeon VII cards as they will not work with 21.20). Note that the latest 21.30 drivers are
  not supported (and the initial testing shows that even the older Polars cards are not working properly with them, so avoid 21.30 for now)
• Numerous other fixes and small improvements

CryptoPay were issuing MC cards but they stopped as well. I'm not sure if it was a WaveCrest problem or something else though.

Are there any cards and card providers that work outside of Europe? Was using Xapo, they shut down. Moved to CryptoPay, they shut down. TenX isn't issuing cards yet. What are the options? I'd even settle for a virtual card only if I had to, but I can't seem to find a provider for that either.

That's at total supply. But if you use circulating supply (coins that actually exist at the moment) which is 128million it would make each coin worth about $10 (100x increase of its current price).  That means a $1,000 investment would earn you $100,000.

I second this. If people are not satisfied with the explanation from the MatchPool team they should be able to have their investment returned back as ETH.

Well, better sooner than later. The entire community of investors seems to think they were scammed, and you're not doing anything to allay the fears. You need to post an official statement on your blog, and an explanation of why the developer has said the things they have said.

SiaCoin is an incredible piece of technology with a very talented and devoted development team. I've been holding since it was about 1/6th of the current price, and I'm expecting to hold for many years to come. The long term outlook is very very promising, and the potential is overwhelming. The minuscule amount of inflation is not an issue and has been debunked many times on the SC forums and various other places by the developers and community members, for example: https://forum.sia.tech/topic/161/about-siacoins-calculation-and-supply/2

Inflation chart: http://imgur.com/n9CIEVM (keep in mind the higher curve at the start is just regular mining, not inflation) -- Main takeaway is that the inflation rate decreases over time once it kicks in around 2020 when all the coins are mined, and it's already very low to begin with. If SC only experiences a 3% growth over the year then sure, you've broken even, but consider that 3% is nothing. Far worse coins are doubling their market cap year after year, and SC is experiencing exceptional growth. It's a nice looking curve, if you ask me. If you can't pull more than 3% growth on your startup then you should probably call it quits to begin with.

Ever since I started investing in crypto 6 years ago I've been able to pick the trends very easily, and I saw SC coming a mile away back when Taek (the dev lead) did his first conference talk. Made a killing in LTC, BTC, ETH, Decred and SiaCoin. The formula I use works well, and it basically boils down to a few factors:

* Development team
* Technology reach
* Software used
* Current valuation and market cap

SiaCoin ticks all the boxes. The biggest recipe for success is betting on people. Technology changes, but people don't. They're either passionate, intelligent, hard-working and skilled -- or they're not. Make sure you do your homework.

There needs to be a public LYKK slack, there's no excuse for using that other chat app (can't even remember the name of it), it's garbage.
