Re: Vertcoin-Adaptive N-factor Scrypt-No more ASICs-[EXCHANGES/AMAZON/ATM/MERCHANTS]

JUST HOLD....


After 2 or 3 months, you will know the reason why.. Smiley


Yeah, the reason will be.. "that someone else made money but now I'm stuck with worthless coin".

The old GPU based btc hash farms are going to pounce on every new alt currency possible. They are going to do the pump and dump over and over again until the coin isn't worth mining.

It's nice this coin has factored out ASICs but until a way can be figured out to exclude these huge hash farms and data centers no alt currency is going to go very far. There's no early decentralization that is key to growth and launching without a premine is not enough.

If you're still holding on to this coin in 2 to 3 months you'll know the reason why... because you didn't listen and you didn't learn.



Its funny but you are saying the same thing what the btc haters where saying 2 years ago...


Saying what same thing? You may read but do you comprehend?

BTC did have early decentralization. LTC had it for awhile.

Now it's just pump and dump for every new alt currency until a solid decentralization can again be programmed in to account for all the abilities to centralize a coin.

Read it over a few times... that helps some people.

With Sapphire R9 290x BF ed, I'm using the below to get stable 436 KH with zero hardware error. Any other setting and tons of HW errors start coming in. I think the thread concurrency did it for me. Has to be 2816*8 for this card. Don't ask me why (though I'm a computer engineer; just not very upto speed with AMD chipset). Also I run the fan at fixed speed of 75% from Trixx to keep temperature below 75C.

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
COLOR 0A

vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o -u -p -I 20 --lookup-gap 2 -w 256 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 --thread-concurrency 22528



I have the Sapphire R9 290X BF4 Ed. (53G) and I'm getting about the same hash of 440k at stock 1000/1250 (no power tune). If I try to OC @ 1100/1400, hash goes down to about 365K. This seems to be the best setting so far for mine...

vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o 127.0.0.1:PORT -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 22528 -I 20 -g 1 -w 256

On this PC I have an i7-4770k OC'd to 45x/39x mem @1600. No change in hash with mem @ 2133.

My ASUS monitor has 2 HDMI inputs so I can go into bios, enable IGPU,  and connect HDMI out of ASRock Extreme4 mobo to HDMI(2) while HDMI out of 290x is on HDMI(1). While monitor is switched to HDMI(2) I can set fan speed to 50% via TRIXX to keep temp @ 80C and experience no video lag while mining.


My open case PC is using Sapphire 2x7950's and I'm getting about 530k (265K@) @ stock 925/1250 using...

vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o 127.0.0.1:PORT -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 21000 -I 18 -g 1 -w 256

Still playing around with settings but seems to be stable.

For solo mining I'm getting nothing but HW errors and a lower than expected hashrate.

My cards still mine other coins fine.

I have yet to see any SMC.

Network is about 1.26 GH power (862 MH in hash.so) so solo mining is very very hard (if even possible Smiley
try any pool.

That's not the point.

Something is not correct and it's not my set up.

When you speak of "the Wall" what are you referring to. I'm trying to follow along by watching CoinMarket but I'm still at a loss.

The buying and selling of coins is new to me. I sold some late last night but I really didn't know what I was doing.

Thanx!

I've been solo and then pool mining USDE since the release and I all got to show for it is the 1000 USDE that I somehow managed to grab from the hash farms in the first 10 minutes of the release.

WTS 1000 USDE for 1000 BTC... lol

What a joke of a release!

Re: [ANN] [USDE] HAS LAUNCHED!!! - U.S. Crypto Reserve eCoin **LQQK!

That's completely normal for a coin launch where there is a ton of hashing power trying to mine while difficulty is extremely low.  Nothing nefarious happened.  That is how it works.  All the screaming, whining, and gnashing of teeth was done by those who don't have a basic understanding of how coins work. 

The coins you thought you mined were orphaned.  You and someone else mined those same blocks at the exact same time.  They submitted them before you did, and they got credit for them and you did not.  That's how the cookie crumbles.  The same thing happened to me.  300+ transactions and they all disappeared once difficulty rose and the blockchain caught up. 



Ok... so now I know what orphan means. Damn, thought I had a good thing going for a whiles there.

Pool mining now over at Coin Army. At my hash it's not even worth it compared to all the power houses that migrated there.

I started solo mining as soon as the wallet was released. I remember seeing transaction after transaction and the coins were adding up into the 100,000 and then it all disappeared.

The number of transactions still show up on the wallet overview but all that was mined does not show up in the transactions tab.

I understand from what I've read here that what I mined is gone but what I'm not clear on is exactly what happened.

There were a lot of accusations flying but nothing that clears up why at one oment I had lots of coin and the next moment noe.

If there a definitive answer to this?

Thanx!

For solo mining using cgminer 3.7.2 with 2 x 7950's, what would be good settings for scan (-s), expiry (-E), and queue (-Q) to start mining with right when the release starts? I'm still trying to figure these 3 settings out.

Defaults are...

-s 30
-E 120
-Q 1

Thanx!

The usde.conf file will be located inside the compressed files, which will be posted at launch.  Windows wallet download links will appear 2 minutes before launch.  Mac wallet will appear as soon as it is compiled when source code is released. 

Posted where...on the first page or on the website?
I don't see any links (active or inactive).

Thanx!
