Sorry if this has been asked, but I've been searching google for 20 minutes and nothing.

HOW THE HECK do I move the blockchain location on a mac? 
I don't want it on my main SSD. 
I see no options to change the data directory.
I'm using the default GUI wallet from the main Sumo website.

Thanks in advance!

WARNING:
DO NOT SEND ANY KOTO TO EXVO.IO.
BLACK HOLE.

ah shite. and nobody even bothered to mention it in the KOTO thread.
luckily only sent a small amount.
black hole.
verification emails aren't sent out
balances locked
coins don't show up in balance either
this is my impression from 24 hours
also the graph looks suspicously like the graph from jambtc
that dude is going to end up dead

Nice call

Are you sure about that?  Cast is closed-source.  Unless you (or someone) have a lot of VEGAs and have collected a lot of data over time, you probably have no idea if Gandalf hasn't padded the stats by 5-10%.  I guess the same thing can be said for binaries from any source.

XMR-STAK and SGminer both give comparable hashrates if configured correctly.  Besides, why run your cards at 1900-2000+ H/s with profitability where it is now?  Let them run cooler and save the fan bearings.

I use xmr-stak or sgminer.  Some motherboards (or is it the cards?) seem to like one over the other.
Some seem to prefer CastXMR but as it is closed source, I can't verify that the reported hashrate isn't a lie, so I don't use it.

No idea about this, didn't even know it existed.

Anyone have any idea if it is yet possible to get good hashrates out of a linux setup with VEGA?
Did AMD ever release good drivers for linux?  How about the windows drivers, are we still stuck with
the August 23 blockchain drivers?

Yeah, this is correct for xmr-stak, cast-xmr, sgminer, and probably every other cryptonight miner.  Take your memory on all your video cards, add it up, and you need at least that much virtual memory.  Yeah, it sucks, because you can't use a very small SSD.

Yes, far to early to call a small exchange being down for 1 day a scam.  They're vulnerable to DDOS attacks and technical issues.  
For newbies: never trust a small exchange (especially an anonymous one) with more coins at one time than you're willing to lose.  
TradeOgre is working fine today, and their wallet works, which is more than I can say for stocks.exchange.

I've used it, no issues at all besides a delayed transaction with ETN,
and customer service on Twitter was responsive within 24 hours. 
It was just the ETN network's fault, sorted itself before CS got back to me.
All my transactions were worth less than 0.1 btc.

I don't like that it forces you to use Google Authenticator. 

Will someone please update these people on the updates?

ASICs are a real threat to decentralized cryptocurrency. But I'm optimistic new algorithms will be developed
that will remove not only the energy advantage of ASICs, but also the cost advantage, like with the new
Bitmain ETHash miner, which again has no energy advantage, but should have a 3-4x hardware cost
advantage upon shipping in August.

I think what is also may be needed for a truly decentralized cryptocurrency is a mechanism to quickly
change the algorithm and forking before development of an ASIC is possible. A mechanism that doesn't
allow for a conspiracy behind the scenes, a mechanism that doesn't allow for advanced knowledge of
what the new algorithm will be. Probably would have to be done every 3 months, like clockwork.

I want to see an x16r yescrypt hybrid.  The x16r framework, but incorporating many different
yescrypt-like GPU-resistant algorithms.   But I'm not sure yescrypt is truly GPU-resistant.  
Maybe it is just that nobody has coded a good GPU miner for it yet.

Never store your coins on a small exchange.
They don't usually have the expertise and resources to prevent themselves from getting hacked.
You can buy and sell, then transfer your coins out and store them somewhere safe.

Also, yeah, TradeOgre login doesn't time out, with no 2fa or email confirmation for withdrawal,
so if your own computer is hacked, someone can just remotely access your browser while you're idle,
and steal all your coins.  Also your computer should be configured to disconnect or log out when idle.
And not be kept awake by internet connections.  And firewalled sufficiently.
I personally take a final step and manually disconnect wifi before putting my laptop to sleep.
Just in case.  If you're using a phone to access an exchange, haha.

And not set up for remote access!  Chrome Remote Desktop, TeamView, other programs are great
for gaming and controlling mining rigs and whatnot, but you don't want that shit on the same computer
you use to access an exchange, much less your email accounts! Clear your caches often, and don't use
the same browser for your email and legit exhanges with shady exchanges! Haha.
Don't install random new altcoin wallets and sketchy miners (especially binaries)
on the same computer you use to access echanges.
Use a separate browser (or completely separate computer) for surfing random crypto-related websites,
and the browser should be locked down with javascript and cookies disabled, just for starters.
You can also sandbox various shit but I don't recommend that to a novice, can get tricky.
Just keep it separated on different machines.
I can go on and on, but it all boils down to this: You can't be too paranoid.

2FA means nothing if your phone with the google authenticator is hacked.
Especially if you access the exchange on the same phone instead of a laptop.

TradeOgre has no reason to want to steal your 0.008 btc until the day they decide to exit.  
Of course a small operation like that can easily get hacked themselves.

Contact support @TradeOgre on twitter and they'll make it right, if it wasn't your fault.
I found them to be responsive within a day, and they made it right.

Good point!

Don't be such a Negative Nancy. Looking at the current development status, it doesn't look so bleak to me. The devs are open and honest and share their development status, which is a lot more than you can say for lots of other projects. Furthermore, ITNS has a plan and a vision and they're creating something actually new and useful and unique. Yeah, that does take time to do right. The devs are on track according to the timeline of the roadmap.

There was JamBTC, not an official exchange, but you could sell coins there. But the owner recently exit-scammed everyone.
Just a reminder, if you sell your coins on shit exchanges, do so in small batches, and withdraw immediately.

There is no current exchange that I know of. You can offer to sell your coins HERE and someone will buy them. Last price on JamBTC was around 200 sats.  Or just HODL, that's what I'm doing.  Some exchange will pick them up, probably soon.  Maybe apply to TradeOgre?  LOL. Another exchange that will probably eventually exit scam everyone, but at least for now it works, and works well, with actual customer service (contact them on Twitter).

I'm sure the KOTO team is working on getting listed on a legitimate high-quality exchange.

I dunno if this has already been suggested, but..... I kinda like the app/vpn Speedify. Found it yesterday, used it for one day, and canceled my other VPN.

It is useful in some situations, especially for me, having a satellite link with good bandwidth and high priority data cap but sometimes needing a faster ping, which I can get from my phone, but don't want to use too much data from my phone. Would be nice if we had that functionality (combining two local internet sources into something better)

Also could help if your mobile link is more responsive than a coffeeshop link, but you'd like to not hit your 22GB priority data cap too soon. Or if you have deep pockets, turn on redundancy and you get an even faster and more reliable link.

Or, you have 3 LTE links and you want to turn that into one massive mobile link, haha.

Or you're at your university and you plug in the ethernet and connect to the wifi at the same time. Plug in an extra wifi dongle too. You're being greedy now!  (and spending a lot of ITNS)

It's called link aggregation / channel bonding with or without redundancy.  Put it on the roadmap?  

The new Bitmain Ethash miner on the horizon (shipping in August) matches GPUs in hashrate/watt, so that indicates also it is probably merely some GPUs with lots of memory in a box.  But the thing is, it costs $800 for the equivalent of 5x 1080 Ti or 5x Vega 64.  So _if_ it really is some standard GPU chips in a box with memory, then this could spell the end of using regular graphics cards for mining, because you should be able to reprogram such a box o' GPUs for virtually any coin.  On the other hand, if new crypto-algorithms required the latest patented architecture of NVIDIA/AMD to be able to get a good hashrate, then maybe generic GPUs in a box won't be able to hack it.  

What I'd like to see is something like x16r that combines the most supposedly-ASIC-resistant algos out there.  So it could use Equihash, a new permutation of daggerhashimoto, yescrypt, an Nvidia-Volta-specific algo, an AMD-Vega-specific algo, and a few more like the latest version of cryptonight.  So to mine something like this efficiently you'd need at the minimum a good CPU, a recent NVIDIA card and a recent AMD card all in the same machine.  

I'm not a computer architecture expert, so I don't know if the above is a workable or good idea, but obviously something has to be done besides forking every 6 months. How do you know the core devs aren't colluding to produce their own ASICs ahead of release? People who want freedom and privacy will move to the more decentralized ASIC-resistant PoW crypto, and people who don't value their freedom or privacy will go back to using paypal and visa/mastercard.  And all the ASIC coins will be the first ones broken (probably covertly) by quantum computers.
