Re: [ANN][ATOMI] New Mimblewimble Swap Cryptocurrency with BTC Exchange

So what is the point of this coin exactly?
This is basically a fort from Beam with only adjusted max nr of coin.

Some questions that come to mind!

- How is the project funded?
- Who are the developers / cryptographers? no one on the web-page! Considering this tech is very complex who will maintain this or you plan is to copy/paste beam?
- What is the road map?
- Exchange listing plans?

I would say to people to stay with Beam for the most security for now until you guys can show some progress and proof that you have something to offer beside whats on Beam.

Nope. It's at 80%

Try 65%, i get 52-53 with only 65% power. Saves cost.

one question... is there an official GUI Windows wallet for EOS? I don't want third parties wallets to put my private keys...

I just started using greymass, works pretty good.

Which eth miner is everyone having the best success with? Claymore 11.8 seems to be very flaky...

I been using 11.8 for 2 weeks and it works great for me. I have 5 rigs and all of them run just fine. I'm at nanopool right now.
What is the issue for you?

Re: [Mining OS] SimpleMining.net - Easy to use GPU MINING Operating System

Sorry if this question been answered but i cant find it searching here or google.
Basically i'm wondering if i can mine using any of the Simplemining miners for Lyra2REv2 coins like Verge?

Thanks for info and help.

Yes.  You just need to create a rig group with the proper miner and pool.  I was using https://zpool.ca or https://xvg-lyra.suprnova.cc for the pool.  Miner: ccminer-tpruvot-v2.2.5-cuda8.0

zpool configuration would look like this
-a lyra2v2 -o stratum+tcp://lyra2v2.mine.zpool.ca:4533 -u YourXVGAddressHere -p c=XVG

Suprnova is a little different since you don't need to specify the coin you want to get paid in as the password.

Thanks allot mate! I am using miningpoolhub. Strangely enough when i went to see the pool address it shows Scrypt as algorithm. On whattomine it says Lyra2REv2.
Will try zpool or supernova tomorrow. Have used Supernova before and it was pretty reliable.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated!

Re: Simplemining.net multi algo profit switching
by

on 08/02/2018, 00:52:24 UTC

Sort of. With Awesome miner i used miningpoolhub.com and it kept all my coins in the wallet. I selected autotrade so that no matter what i mined it got traded for ETH.
It is worth switching when the price different is 20%! I set it up so that it could check every 10 min and if the price difference were greater than 10% it would switch.



Yea but you are paying miningpoolhub to do that for you so you are losing out on profits. I warn any miner away from any of these auto conversion sites. If you are auto converting to a single coin like ETH, you are leaving a crazy amount of future profit on the table.

That is not true though. Pool fee is 0.9%. The switching dont cost as far as i can see (beside exchange side which is something i cant get rid of either way). I tested it for several weeks and in general i get more out of my rig with mining whats more profitable. That is if the difference is more than 10%.
Even if there is a hidden fee 10% is pretty big. At times the difference is 30% between ETH and Zclassic/Zcash so it really is worth switching.
I do diversify but at the same time i want to build up on my ETH.

Does anyone know of a miner that runs on simplemining.net OS that provides this functionality? At the moment I am checking which algo/coin is most profitable every day.



Are you selling the instant that you receive your coins?

Because if not then there isn't really much point in switching every day.

Thanks for the reply, i don't think the functionality is possible within simpleminingOS itself at this stage but i have emailed the dev to see if it is on the timeline.

My thinkng is that if simplemining.net has an API that you can use to change "Rig Groups" on your "Rigs" then this should be possible!! Grin

Hi, i am wondering the same, did you get an answer?
I was using Awesome miner before and had that feature. Badly miss it.

Re: Will bitcoin replace gold?
by
vampyren
on 24/10/2017, 20:35:28 UTC
first bitcoin has to gain a much more stable price.
second it has to be adopted by a very large percentage of the world and be known by everyone.
finally gold has to become obsolete so that people want to look for an alternative!
(not necessarily in this order)

then bitcoin can become kind of a reference for measuring value.

Once Bitcoin marketcap reaches 1 trillion level it will have stable price. Just like gold it has to little market cap now and can easily be manipulated but its growing fast.
See how Gold market was back in the day, very volatile like BTC. People think gold has always been stable whic is not true.

Re: Tezos vs. EOS vs. Ethereum
by

on 28/08/2017, 14:43:17 UTC
I think personally Tezos + EOS are late to the party. Ethereum has a huge huge advantage being already in use and keep making new partners that will support the platform. They do tons of updates now soon with the coming metropolis ......

I dont see how these new platforms can even come close in say 1+ year. ETH will for sure evolve during that time as well and considering how much money they have i would say they are pretty far ahead in every way.
IT does not matter what Tezos or EOS promise, in the end of the day that is a promise on paper and its a long way from that to real product. During that time ETH and maybe other platforms will be eating up the market. One full year is a looong time in this space.

I hope the best for all 3 but my money is on ETH (right now).

As with everything we have to adapt to the market Smiley

I have the same board, I'm using a $40 kaby lake g3930 with 4gb ram.
Imo drop the ssd as it's not needed for a dedicated miner, I use a 32gb flash drive running NVOC.
Also this board can support 9 GPU's, you will need to get 2x m.2 to pci adaptors.


Good to know thanks, might add one more gpu.

Thanks for the reply guys.
Actually most motherboards I find had only 6 Pci-e. This one has 7 so I don't see how I can add 8 cards into this board?
As for PSU, I will double check, 7 x 150w (gpu) + 65w (cpu) is 1115w so if might be cutting it to close.

Yes and that is hard to grasp, people Keep underestimating it and BTC keeps going up.
Although I see I huge market in smart contracts space so that is why i invest in NEO and little ethereum.
I do love LTC and XEM to.
I diversify in projects I believe in Smiley
Still i think BTC is the golden chicken every one look at at value based crypto coin.

Hi,

I would say it's a really good question for which I thought a lot...

My conclusion and personnal advice is :

- if you really believe in BTC, don't look a the current price and start to buy now.
- then, as there will be some big drops in the price as it already occured, then continue to buy at these special moments.
- for the "targets price" : I think for sure you have to put some of your BTCs (30, 40 , 50%) on paper wallet or hardware device and FORGET THEM FOR AT LEAST  7-8 years...
- for the others BTCs, you may think and try to sell either at pics (very very difficult) or more likely after several goals reached by BTCs...

Really the most difficult part will be to forget some of your BTCs while following the BTCs price and continuing buying or selling sometimes...That's why I would suggest paper wallets for a fixed amount and then for only this amount you forget them for a loooong time...

I'll also say that of course nobody can predict the future price of BTC BUT either for sure it's far from its real value :
in 7-8 years either it will be at 0$, either it will be over 100000$. That's my point of view...So if you're ready to bet, then 2700$ or 3400$ a BTC is the same...
Good summary!
Pretty much what I'm thinking, I have already made a paper wallet with private key for my BTC savings. I don't do the mistake I made years ago and become emotional during the dips, instead I will get more if I can efford It.
All my investment are pretty much for hodle.
I learned much from people like

Exactly, I'm hoping for the correction to get little more, I got in at 2700 and Again at 3000 and it keeps rising.
One thing I don't really know is if I want to take profit and wait for a dip, what currency do I go to. Sites like bittrex don't sell into dollar. Going to other crypto has its risk as well.
I'm actually a holder but with BTC, Ethereum, ltc all rising so much there has to be a correction even if it's a small one.
Any tips on that?
I will keep 1btc offline always Smiley

Danny: if your bet is with 5-10 years it's s a valid one otherwise we might note be even alive  Smiley

I watched a video where this guy talked about the price going to 1milj and what would be required. Basically we need to go from billion to trillions market cap to see a rise like that. Its not impossible but maybe unlikely in our lifetime. I do hope though Smiley
