Someone probably put in an order for a certain amount of hashing power at 20% higher than the market rate for some reason. Probably laundering.

Don't let your dipshit in a suit run loving cryptocurrency miners on the same network your customer and financial data goes through you nitwit. Tell him about the security ramifications, offer to put it in a separate VLAN that can route to the internet but not the corporate network, and if all else fails, polish up the resume, get paper copies of your recommendations as acknowledged by the boss, and enjoy your eventual twenty minutes at the witness stand.

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:I am also an expert but after thinking about it, I disagree. I think you should definitely mine cryptocurrency at work. Also buy some bitcoins. As you can see it’s a more logical argument, so go for it Actually you know what thinking about it yeah gently caress it this thread needs more schadenfreude content.

Winminer folks, what are you all set up for mining? It's autoselected ZEN on a 1080 Ti, wondering if there's something better.

Yeah I'm just going to let it run and do its thing. Thinking of maybe tossing my old R9 290 in a board from goodwill with a spare EVGA PSU I have lying around, setting the fans to low speed, and using that to heat my apartment with burritos. Dunno if a GPU that old will even hit the break-even point though.

Yeah, we can't do Coinbase here. QuadrigaCX is our only option for exchanging. I don't know if we can do a bunch of cryptocurrency flipping within exchanges to finally get it to QuadrigaCX and out to a Canadian bank account with some degree of sanity and without retarded transaction fees. Gonna run WinMiner overnight and while I'm at work and see what that does for me other than making my apartment not freezing cold when I get home. Not gonna complain if heating my apartment also drops twenty bucks in my PayPal account every few days. Kazinsal fucked around with this message at 11:16 on Jan 12, 2018 |

mobby_6kl posted:gently caress, really? Seems like I'd never get it out at this rate. They say they pay out balance over 0.01 at "irregular schedule" whatever the gently caress that is, and even that would take me like a month with no guarantee of an actual payout. Welcome to cryptocurrency mining. It's a negative sum game.

ohgodwhat posted:It apparently isn't extremely obvious because I have no idea what you're trying to show with that chart At first glance I'm assuming it's the significant periods where there's literally no movement in price on what is likely the world's most unstable and popular financial speculation tool. Seven minutes of the price being flat might be nothing for, say, Jim-Bob Fuckstick's tenth of a cent quarter-million-market-cap stock, but for something that almost always fluctuates by literal hundreds of dollars per second? Something's fucky here.

BTC's down 15% in 24 hours and is still trending downwards. If you've got any, get rid of that poo poo. If you want to sell off any GPUs, do it right the gently caress now.

1gnoirents posted:Thats fine, thats the risk for getting money out of nowhere. Plus Ive already withdrawn my initial investment at this point (I dont get why this isnt common tbh) so "I cant lose"*. To start I put $500 real monies in at the first major dip to ~$11k, kept trading at 1-5% profits then cutting that profit out until I had $250 in the bank, then started leaving the profit in for more money and moved the remaining $250 out once I hit $1000, and now im back up to ~$900 for a total of $1400, though only the initial $500 is truly safe. I took 1-2% losses about a quarter of the time to adjust to the market crashing, and usually id just move from BTC -> ETH or back. And for my own sake to judge how well I'm really doing, I've kept all mining money separate so nothing touches and clouds me. jesus h gently caress I don't know how to respond to this and I'm the OP of this idiot hellfucker thread.

Yeah, the cases some of these things are slapped in are basically Jim-Bob-Bought-A-Sheet-Metal-Folder quality. And then you get to buy and wire up a $500 1.5 kW ATX power supply to them and just leave it on the bench next to it because they don't come with a PSU or somewhere to mount one.

Palladium posted:"We currently only support Ubuntu 16.04 as a host's OS." This seems like a poor choice of host OS given the state of consumer Nvidia drivers on Linux. Holy moly is Nouveau ever a dumpster fire. And the proprietary ones are worse. Linux is the one platform where AMD drivers are objectively better in every way than Nvidia drivers.

It genuinely surprises me that Nvidia put any sort of effort into their Linux drivers after Torvalds publicly told them to gently caress themselves. That's all. My mistake for assuming that Big Huge Market Dominator would have just said "gently caress you too buddy, have fun extracting signed firmware blobs to get your cards to boot" and continued to devise new and impressive ways to convince people to buy Quadro cards for ten times the price of an equivalent GeForce card.

Poettering has the right idea just the wrong execution. I think that if his goal is to modernize Linux and make it into a real modern operating system, he's going about it wrong simply because he's trying to do it within the view of the greater Free Software community, a disjointed group of groups primarily composed of people who are more interested in pretending that it's the Good Ol Days where CPU time was billed by the minute and  weren't involved in computer science than they are about actually creating a modern free operating system.Spicy hot take: Linux is hampered by the Free Software movement and it would have been better off without GNU. It might not have gone as far as it has, but at least it'd be something with a coherent mission statement that's worth using it for. Spicier, hotter take: Don't engage Paul's obsessive anti-AMD baiting in any thread.

I'm wondering if we should just remove all the mining gunk from the thread title and OP and leave this as the technical-aspects-of-the-cryptocurrency-horrorshow thread. I don't want to just go ahead and do it but I'm not maintaining the OP for any purposes of mining or recommending mining at all anymore, so I'll leave it up to the thread regulars to decide. If so I'm open to suggestions for thread subtitles.
