Hmm...since all cryptocurrencies are going up in value besides bitcoin, is it now worth it to mine any specific one on a single GTX1070? My electric rates are fairly low and I wouldn't think a single GTX1070 would jack up my electric bill too much more.

your mining potential and the value of coins in general dont go up in tandem. You will never mine a currently valuable coin in any appreciable amount with a single gpu. You can mine a ton of shitcoins and hope they go up or just buy them.

If you want to mine casually with a 1070, just set your card to 65% TDP, 50% fan, +150core/+500mem in afterburner and mine ethereum or zcash directly to an exchange or coinbase. Once monthly cash them out for cash/giftcards, and then check on a profit website whats hot. Right now you'd be looking at maybe $60 bucks a month before power, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Maybe nicehash will be back then too, if you trust them.

Has anyone cashed out to an Amazon giftcard on WinMiner? I have enough now, but the form asks for email, address, phone, etc. I'm wondering if it'll go through if I use a fake address and only a real email. I assume it's a digital gift card.

Edit: Welp, I put it through for a $20 card using just my email, we'll see how it goes. I ain't giving these guys my mailing address.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Three families hanged themselves in Saigon because of Bitcoin
12/12/2017
On December 12, many relatives came to Nguyen Van L. (SN 1968) in 78 Chuong Duong Lane, Linh Chieu Ward, Thu Duc District. Door repeatedly but without feedback, opened inward, found out L died in the posture.


The house where the incident occurred
Under the floor is the body of Mrs. Le Thi Kim L. (SN 1973, wife L.) and nephew Nguyen Thanh N. (SN 2002, wife L, the same district Thu Duc).

Through the examination, police identified the husband died in the posture. The dead wife and son lay on the floor, on the mouth of the foam is suspected of poison.

At the scene of the case, the investigating body found a laptop still operating. The laptops have access to some virtual currency trading sites, including Nice Hash, a large Bitcoin trading platform hacked a few days ago.


Investigative agencies are present at the site.
During the investigation, the neighbors and relatives of the victims confirmed recently that the couple regularly borrow money from people around them for business investment reasons.

It is known that Mr. Nguyen Van L. (SN 1968) as a lake. His wife is Mrs. Le Thi Kim L. (SN 1973) who sells food near her home, Nguyen Thanh N. (2002) is currently studying at a junior high school in Thu Duc district.

At the scene, there was no sign of breaking in, searching the furniture. Initially the investigation agency speculated, the cause of the case may be due to investment in virtual money at a loss should fall into a deadlock. The family decided to commit suicide.

Jesus gently caress. I'm an expat living in Saigon. I knew there was a lot of interest in Vietnam, I imagine because the people tend to not trust their inflated currency (22,000 dong - 1 USD) so it's a ripe petri dish for cryptocurrency.

The "reputable" English local news don't mention Bitcoin or crypto at all in the story.

It's been getting under 0 degrees c here over the past few days so I've been having to turn on the heater. I've also been looking at getting a new gaming computer anyway for a few months, so thinking I could maybe maybe use the money I'd otherwise be using for heating for mining and save some money on my computer.

Is it not worth it with Nicehash down now?

Yes, if you were actually going to plug in an electric space heater, running a rig you were going to have anyways is still profitable. This could change at any moment, of course. If your house uses something more effective for heating, like natural gas or an electric heat pump, those would probably break even with electrical resistance-based heat and your rationalization falls apart.

Note that something like a GTX 1070 is only going to put out like 150 watts, which is 1/10th of what a spaceheater would do. I have a 1080ti FE with the blower aimed directly at my face, jamming out 400 watts, so that's much better and actually heats my small cold-rear end room.

WinMiner is arguably better than NiceHash, in practice it earns like "10-20%" less for whatever reasons (either growing pains or they're skimming more off the top than they claim), but unlike NiceHash they actually got around to paying me (I cashed out $20 today to an Amazon GC and it worked).

Edit: Also, you'd better make sure you can get a good deal on a GPU because with Volta already out they're going to be depreciating a lot real soon.

Yeah I'm very happy with their payouts, considering how ridiculously slammed the rest of the system still seems to be. Two friends yesterday tried to sign up and there is still a waitlist. But they aren't dicking around with payouts and with $10 and $20 limits your risk is essentially none on the mining program end (compared to something like Nicehash anyway). It is definitely not as reliable though, I've caught it frozen several times now and I have to babysit it more than id like for $10 a day, and I doubt that has much to do with the congestion.

Eh that was in 2013... not handwaving it but every protein powder and supplement place is as bad as that or worse; supplements have not a fraction of the FDA oversight that food does.
