It's important to diversify your money across multiple garbage fires and ponzi schemes

the correct way to hold worthless garbage is in all bitcoin. All the other coins are compared to bitcoin and follow its value.

Would a Tesla K40 be good for mining at all? What specs of a gpu/cpu does it actually utilize?

Did this K40 fall out of the back of a truck or are you thinking of mining with hardware owned by your employer? if you're thinking of buying one for cryptomining lol

I used to own a dual K20 machine and the thought of using that for mining is a joke. It was computing for so much more money for its real job and once that job ended I sold it. You should sell the K40, mining is all optimized for consumer hardware and doesn't need ECC. It'll mine like a 780 Ti, probably a bit better, but maybe not because the K40 has more cache than the 780 Ti does, it might be a GDDR5X situation where the extra space is wasted. Edit: The major differences between an old Tesla like that and consumer hardware are 1/3rd FP64 speed vs 1/24 for the consumer line. ~Double the memory and ECC support than uses up 12.5% of the memory if you turn it on, but if you need it you need it. Finally, drivers optimized for professional workloads, even in current generation Teslas that have the same FP64 performance as consumer cards the extra optimizations for pro software result in stuff 5-10 times faster, in pro software, not games. A consumer card probably could run those optimizations, but part of the cost you're paying for in a Quadro or Tesla is software development for niche apps that might have a few thousand users. craig588 fucked around with this message at 13:50 on Oct 6, 2017 |

Also to last post, thank you for the response. I'll just check out a 980ti. Also yeah, boss allows trash like this without company action.

I can't see how they'd find out, the real reason it's a bad idea is because the mining performance of the card isn't good enough for it to be worth the hassle.

If you keep your butts in a wallet run by a website/app/exchange, that website has your butts and will soon be "hacked" like they all are.

I use egifter for gift cards and copay for my wallet. I haven't bothered doing any research whatsoever on keeping my wallet safe. I think I knew how it all worked like 7 years ago when I was mining bitcoin on my AMD 6850 (and yes I either lost the wallet or my wallet site was hacked lol). Now though, nicehash puts money into my wallet and I turn 90 percent of it into gift card. I wouldn't be too hard off if nicehash stole my .01 bitcoin or copay took my $8 dollars worth.

You guys know you can just run the bitcoin wallet application locally right? No need to go online with it. It's super easy to backup so your coins are un-hackable. Just be prepared to be kicked in the dick for awhile while the blockchain downloads.

Yeah... I think I remember doing it that way for a bit. I know it's possible, but is it as EASY as what I'm doing now? Is there a dick kicking involved?

That requires effort, and most people aren't willing to put in any effort into.. basically anything But even then, keys stored offline can be robbed. Or in some cases just lost. Likewise, keys generated offline have also been stolen/lost for a variety of reasons. As has been discussed, it's important to actually audit the source code of the application that you're using to store your money (although no one ever does); in the past some wallet applications have been written with a predetermined small number of seeds, giving the developer the ability to recreate any of the private keys generated by the application. Others have just been poorly written (using a static seed) The original brainwallet site combined a user's input password with a hidden seed, and later the owner of the site just ran a dictionary attack (because he knew the hidden seed) and swept up most users' coins QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Oct 9, 2017 |

A set a lady up with a cheap pc that "has to run all the time" today to get her coins. It sounded to me like shes buying a contract and they use some way to interface with a pc she has running to deposit the coins in her wallet? I have no idea whats going on and didn't pry but she did not look like the bitcoin type, she hardly knew how a computer worked. How bad is she getting scammed.
