Bitcoins might be used for crimes, the use case for storage coins is crimes. Huh? Burst isn't storage crypto. You aren't getting paid to host someone else's content on your harddrives. It just pre-computes the hashes which are solutions to each round and writes them to the drive for quick and lower-power retrieval later.

I remember when "daylight" LED bulbs were actually red, green and blue LEDs packaged together, so the light looked approximately white to the eye but didn't wokr quite like white. The CRI (https://www.topbulb.com/color-rendering-index) of LED bulbs has been getting pretty decent. I've got some cheap-ish 90 CRI bulbs right here.

Has anybody run two different cards in the same computer for mining here? I put a 1070 into a machine with a 1080 in it. I didnt install drivers because I wasnt sure theyd be any different. Windows picked it up after two reboots, but all it said was "restart to finish setting up geforce 1070". I dont know if that means it attempted to install separate drivers on its own but after that all I got was black screens and a cursor and some faint outlines of dialog boxes. The build is actually toast now because of that. Im reinstalling Windows now. Im using a USB riser to go into a 1x slot.

When running multiple Nvidia cards sometimes I could just throw it in and sometimes I'd have to reinstall the driver, using DDU before installing it would probably be the best bet. I only ran into issues when trying to run AMD and Nvidia cards in the same computer but I was able to get that working after messing with it for a while.

How's your power supply? I could see that getting into the 700 watt range. Over 200 per GPU and 100 from the CPU, plus drives, memory, motherboard stuff and fans.

So you would install say a 1070 driver even though you have a 1080 driver? I initially didnt want to do that because I thought thatd actually cause problems but thats what ill try now. craig588 posted:How's your power supply?

I am actually running two psus now I forgot to mention that in case thats a culprit, though nothing was under stress at any point. Im using a dual PSU little pcb thing but since its triggered by a molex connector I figured it was out of the loop of concern

With NVIDIA you’d theoretically install the latest GeForce drivers and it would figure out which cards you have and work seamlessly. In reality you should wipe everything clean with DDU and pray that installing the drivers recognizes your cards, otherwise you have to repeat the driver cleanup and drop them in one at a time and see which one’s the problem.

Thanks guys, im sure it'll work. I was just concerned I was missing some critical step here, never used one of these risers before nor put two different cards in the same computer. I'll need this to work too because I have another 1080ti coming so it'll be 3 different kinds lol I did just accidentally install a regular iso of Windows 10 instead of eval that I had been using so I get to do this all over yet again

Yeah that's all I did, just installed the latest from the Nvidia website and never had any issues with recognition. DDU is pretty quick and easy to do though so that's the way to go to be sure.

So apparently coinbase's exchange, GDAX does free maker limit orders, so you can get your bitcoins from nicehash sent for free to coinbase, then transfer it over to GDAX for free, do a free maker limit order to transfer into Bitcoin cash, etherium, litecoin, or I think even USD, then transfer for free back to coinbase and move it to a cold storage wallet from there using one of the lower transfer fee coins or into your bank account for free I think.

Yes thats what ive been doing. Basically from nicehash to coinbase to gdax is all free transfers and effectively instant. Even if I want to sell immediately Ill just make a market order for the same amount as the lowest sell order. Even so market orders have very low fees (ie actual fees), I made an instant sell for ~$26 worth just to consolidate currencies after another large fill and the fee was just 2.5 pennies

How do you get usable USD to the bank or paypal out of this process then? Can you do a transfer directly from GDAX or does it go back to your coinbase account? I've got just about enough coins to make this worthwhile though I wouldn't mind somewhat larger fees if it made this whole thing much easier.

Use WinMiner and cash out to Amazon gift cards, you gotta put in at least a valid email but you can fill out the rest with fake info. Once they give you the code you can apply it to any Amazon account or sell it. Everything said and done it's $21 for a $20 card (5% fee all-in isn't bad at all) and while it doesn't mine quite as furiously as NiceHash, your PC is usable even for light gaming.

Buy a card from Gyft, which also accepts money on Coinbase. Don’t cash out. If a retailer you like isn’t on Gyft, see if their gift card is on Amazon, because you can buy an Amazon card from Gyft and with it buy a card from Amazon. All of this is not as cool as USD you can spend anywhere you want, but that’s why people are talking about collecting burritos and not money. Because converting it into “real money” means taking these operations as seriously as you would your banking. And nobody wants to do that.

I've got just about enough coins to make this worthwhile though I wouldn't mind somewhat larger fees if it made this whole thing much easier. I have a bank account attached to Coinbase, which GDAX can deposit to directly. I dont think GDAX uses any other method of deposit as its more "serious", but you can instantly transfer your USD back to your Coinbase USD "wallet" and do with it what you want there. But personally all my funds get to GDAX and leave from GDAX edit: Mining rate seems to be taking a dump in the last day or two 1gnoirents fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Jan 30, 2018 |

When I sold my 1060 a few days ago I was still getting about 3.50. That was with a customized setup of Multipoolminer that I was using and alternating between miningpoolhub and nicehash but still.

Boris Galerkin posted:So does that make that coin useless or worth more? Neither. It means that where before with a GPU you could mine, let's say, $5/day, now with that GPU you'd be mining $0.50/day. The coin's value has not changed, but the enormous spike in difficulty means that--much like as happened with BitCoin--the only viable way to mine it directly now is through ASICs, and your penny-ante GPU miner needs to go elsewhere.
