The Asic thread

So at the risk of further derailing this thread, here's what you do. Go and mine a thousand whatever coin, something quick and easy to mine.

Pick and exchange, and just start trading with it. Don't expect to make millions, but if you can end with 0.0001 BTC more than what you started with, after fees, etc. etc., that's a good day. Keep doing that until you have your plan down on what to do when, and take it form there, gradually upgrading to the more mainstream coins.

Agree - aim for good margins in the forex world - usually 2% or more a trade is considered good. If you keep that up and exceed it, you're doing well.

The horror :crylaugh::crylaugh:

I know my brother trades with a whole lotta coins.. might need to see what he does exactly. Might be able to add to my miners
 
I see people seem to be panic selling LTC, as soon as there is any headway they quickly sell off.
 
I actually think it's the so called analysts fault, they keep saying it will fall down to the $150 range. People read this and then try sell whilst it's still in the $200 range.

Yup.

Also, I'm back on Prohashing. Just saying.

What you mining there?

Nah pool mining, so it switches.

On a side note, I just transferred 2500 XVG from my desktop wallet to Cryptopia, and it took 3 minutes to get there... why can't BTC be this quick??!!

Also put an order in for 1000 ETN.

Did Segwit ever happen?

Oh, so similar to Nicehash?

Pretty much, but only support for Scrypt and x11. Pays in whatever coin you want, which is pretty cool, and fees are reasonable, with default thresholds attracting no fees.

I'll check it out bit later, always one or another project popping up

On Nicehash? Haven't checked it yet, learned my lesson doing that in the good ol' D3 days, do t need that stress in my life.

Read somewhere earlier they are already working on firmware to allow for additional algorithm support, which is pretty cool. Don't know how much is marketing fake news though.

On Nicehash yes. 4500 daily.

With prohashimg, what options do you get paid out in?

You can add any wallet for any coin you want, but I just leave it on LTC. Tried BTC for a bit to have it closer to my Nicehash experience, but switched back after BTC took 72 thousand hours to transfer.

....and the list goes on and on and on... you simply add the address and earn in that coin. So you could essentially "mine" Etherium using Scrypt...

What's nice is you can split your payouts across different coin too, so 30% go to LTC, 70% go to BTC, for example.

Thanks for that, currently split between LTC and dash. Seems to be bit more stable at the moment.

Moved one miner across to see the difference.

EDIT: changed to 75% BCH and 25% LTC.

See BCH is down at the moment so stands a better chance of jumping up

Is it normal for my hashrate to show as 400 and not 500?

I've had that as well. See when last you switched, might just not have caught up yet. As long as your efficiency is good, you should be good to go. Sometimes it'll show 580, so in the grander scheme of things, it all evens out.
 
That's at 100%, moved a total of 2 miners over. Will see how it goes in the morning.
