Fifth alt coin thread last four got too big.

[Storx]

Storx, thank for sharing the charts. Could you explain your trading strategy ? for example, when you buy SIGT, how much % more do you put the sell order ? or maybe you think another way ?

Because when I see the chart, I see it was a good day for someone who bought cheap => he went able to sell higher.
But as it is hard to guess growth and decrease before they happen, I would be glad to know how you work on it !

Another thing i have been doing also since i am looking into SIGT for longer term PoS earnings after 100k block, well was.. been debating changing my ideas on that and diving into another coin for long term.. is i have been doing some i guess you would call it reverse trading positions... since i hold so many coins between trading and mining... if i see the price hitting a new daily higher or sitting around a daily high... ill dump 25k at that high level and then place a buy order for 25k at a lower level based on thats day movement...

So lets say i log into coinigy and see it sitting around 0.000022 and the 24hr high is around that level... ill sell 25k and then place a buy order for 25k at maybe 0.00002 or 0.000018 depending on the last 24hrs movement range... basically taking profits upfront with mined and profit "free coins", then replenish them at a lower level.. making a profit in btc

Are there other things to consider when choosing a pool to mine a coin on besides the fees associated with the pool?  Does the number of workers mining the coin in the pool matter that much?  The reason I ask is because I mainly mine SIGT on Suprnova, but i wasn't sure if I would get different results mining in another pool.

Question to owners of hashing powder on Hashnest - can you login into your account?

One of their servers was "compromised" - so access to account (at least mine) is blocked

[Bones972]

Seems that ETH team will remove the ice-age timebomb but will reduce the reward to half... either way I think its not a good deal for most miners.

Can somebody please enlighten me regarding this reward halving announcement.
They will see massive hashrate drop if they lower the mining rewards.
Ethereum network is breaking down every time a new ICO is launched on it.
With massive miner exodus it will probably totally collapse.
 Are Vitalik&Co crazy to alienate miners?
Maybe I am missing some important piece of the puzzle?
Thank you.

If you are amd 470's,480's, 570's, 580's  you should have sold and converted to 1080 ti's

you option now is windows 10 until  linux  has new drivers.

This being said, you never know what's around the corner. You can always mine something else after ETH. Granted it might be less profitable... but if you just carry on, you will accumulate coins that will probably be worth a lot more in a few months time. You do not HAVE TO sell your AMD cards.

The time to sell them was when I was telling people to sell them  around  6 weeks ago..

If I had them now I would not sell them.

I for one owe you a HUGE thank you for that advice!  I actually sold my 15 RX cards for about $120 profit each over what I had originally bought them for and turned them into 1080ti rigs.  LOVING the switch to "Team Green" and the 1080ti's will hold their value even better than the RX's did.

I still find the choice of buying new 1080 Ti's for mining absolutely ludicrous. At least here in the UK. The absolute cheapest one is available for £675 here. Even if I got £200 per RX570 (I have 14) it would only allow me to get FOUR 1080Ti's.

Currently mining ETH+DCR makes me $32-35/day. 4x1080Ti's would make half as much.

Regular 1080's actually give you more bang for the buck.

699 usd  per 1080 ti  sometimes as low as 650 usd

you are at 868 usd

I can build a 3 card 1080ti for 2100 usd to 2250 usd

spend 550 watts  get 1900 sols

earn 10 usd a day burns 14 kwatts a day about 1.40 usd

so I net 8.60 usd a day

I sold all the lessor gear at peak prices.  I sold 1070's 100 more then I paid for each one and they all earned over 100 each.

basically 400 usd became 600 usd in under 2 months I sold 13 1070's

and I under cut the crazy high markups.  when the 1070's were going for 600 usd  on eBay  I was selling for 475
so I netted about 2600 usd profit on my 1070's  which was 4 1080ti's

By selling off everything but the 1080 ti's I did very well . the 17 1080ti's I have  are basically all paid off.  I slowly add to them.

If you are in the UK  your chance to sell  the 470,480,570,580  at 300 pounds is gone it was true about six weeks ago

I have said if I still had my lessor card I would not sell them.

As for only buying 1080 ti's now for my setup it works.

if your power cost is very low  under 5 cents a k-watt 1080ti's are not that important as for mining eth I stopped that once you needed 3gh to earn a block at eth pool


http://ethpool.org/credits

eth pool pays uncles  and to mine eth and not get uncles is very costly.

back in the day I got 30-35 coins with uncles I would not mine without this.

I have 108 x S9 online at antpool..... and now I am locked out.
They are forcing everyone to change passwords and redo the 2FA.
But I have tried to change passwords but error in password -- I think I did put in the right passwords though....
Hmmmm.... count to 10 and take a deep breath.

Well that sucks.

and it is a lot of money to not have control of.

Did anyone face the cuda error before? my gtx 1080 always cuts off at some point mining either skein or zec giving a cuda error, i'm also having a gtx 1060 mine on claymore and once the 1080 gives this cuda error claymore keepa showing NVML error cannot get temprature, the 1060 works fine though, i tried the 1080 on claymore and it didn't give that error, only EWBF and CCminers give it. I tried changing the drivers but nothing was benefited, any thoughts?

try setting the 1080 via  msi afterburner

tdp 70
core +50
 ram -500
fan manual 75%

assuming you are on  windows mining zec

Thanks Phil for the insights... the BTC farms are the main revenue generator for my group's mining operations.

This farm at Antpool are all S9 v1 miners - early batch - very finicky and lots of babysitting, part of the mining operations I manage for my group.

Worst case scenario... we will switch to our backup pool, f2pool tonight.

Only consolation is the S9s are on PPS+ mining (PPS with TX sharing) so we can move to f2pool continue mining without the pain of moving out of PPLNS.

There is another 155 x A721s farm but that mining at KANO land.

NOTE: the passport site is completely down now with error 502 - the S9s are still mining though from cgminer console.

Probably a newbie move but I switched over to EXP this morning. According to "whattomine" I should be earning .337 exp an hour.

I'm on dwarfpool and only earring about .12 exp per hour , which is signaficsntly less than I was expecting.

Would I have better luck on other pools ?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Well  dwarfpool  could be unlucky today.

or the diff jumped up

diff has increased a lot

[rs1x]

@phil - thank you I appreciate your response. So if diff has increased perhaps whattomine did not reflect that increase in their calcs?

[dragonmike]

On another note, has anyone installed the cuda 9 beta? Any difference?

[philipma1957]

@phil - thank you I appreciate your response. So if diff has increased perhaps whattomine did not reflect that increase in their calcs?

one of many reasons.

bad luck  maybe dwarfpool normally makes   1 block an hour  and has been ice cold making 1 block  every 3 hours

I can list other reasons.
Short term  judgements  do not mean much with luck.
1 month  of earning ⅓ of what you should earn  would mean the pool is fucked up.

but 1 day  is not enough time to tell.

Thanks phil. Looks like I jumped the gun will Let it cook for some time to see how it averages out

[philipma1957]

Thanks phil. Looks like I jumped the gun will Let it cook for some time to see how it averages out

keep an eye on this stat  on the bottom left last 50 blocks.  try and figure out how many  it should do in an hour.

 a fast check i get 20 an hour
so if you  figure that is correct  and the pool does 20 an hour  for days on end  you  should get correct numbers.

I'm mining skein with alexis miner, does that make any difference?

The card is not over heating at all its at 58-64°C Its not over clocked alot (i just tried your settings) hopefully they would work, if not i may try re installing my windows.
