    How will the Ethereum hardfork affect ETH miners?

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 03:56 AM PST

    It is my understanding that the block reward will be reduced from 3 to 2 ETH. Presumably a lot of miners will be switching to another coin as their profits just got slashed by 33%. Then the difficulty will adjust as miners move away from other coins, reaching equilibrium? Did I get this right?

    (Modified Equihash) Beam - MimbleWimble implementation cryptocurrency mainnet launch @ 14:00 GMT.

    Beam.mw will launch soon. Great opportunity for everyone to get in early while the difficulty is lower.
    It uses modified Equihash (ASIC resistant).
    CUDA miner just released - Nvidia miners will have significant benefit.

    Here is a tutorial how to start mining:

    Happy mining. ;)

    ETH ProgPOW implementation not included in next HF, but coming "soon"

    Posted: 03 Jan 2019 04:54 AM PST

    https://github.com/ethereum/pm/issues/66

    ​

    First the good news,

    Peter Pratscher-"As the gangnam ProgPoW testnet is running smoothly since a few weeks & the mining ecosystem is maturing (open source implementations for cuda & opencl are more or less done, claymore (the dev of the most widely used closed source gpu ethash miner) has also confirmed to add ProgPoW support to his miner) I think it would be a good time to finalize the discussion if Ethereum should switch to ProgPoW during the next core dev call?"

    ​

    Claymore and I'm sure PhoenixMiner team are behind creating ProgPOW miners for ETH-hash.

    ​

    ProgPOW WILL be coming to Ethereum. It's just a matter of when?

    ​

    Bad news-

    Discussion will have to take place to decided "When" to include it, either on the current release cycle of 8 months or Ad-hoc. It's unlikely that ProgPOW will be included in next HF, but they're may be an Ad-hoc HF that would include it. As they have stated Earlier that ProgPow and Constantinople are not complimentary and could be achieved successfully separately. I hold out hope.

    Monero cpu mining crashing my gpu miners

    Posted: 02 Jan 2019 10:28 PM PST

    Every once in a while I turn in CPU mining on my Windows 10 mining rigs. Some of the rigs have i7s and i5s, so it's not like they lack the horsepower to CPU mine (I realize that I can't do it profitably, which is why I only do it every once in a while). When I've used nicehash and mined lyra2z, it works fine long term. But when I run cryptonight, it seems like after a few hours to a day or so, the miners become unresponsive/crash. They crash mining cryptonightv7 and cryptonightv8 on nicehash. They crash mining cryptonight on a IOTA faucet. I've locked pages in memory. I tried lowering the number of threads. Each miner has a different mobo and cpu, but they all do it. They run fine for months without crashing if I don't cpu mine monero. Any suggestions/anyone else ever experience this?

    Should you hold your coins from mining until they appreciate in value?

    Posted: 02 Jan 2019 02:14 PM PST

    Hello,

    Just wanted to make sure I'm understanding this correctly. I've been mining Ethereum since May 2018. I run a rig with 8 x RX 580's 8GB. Hash Rate of 244. I've mined about 3.5 Ethereum so far. When I started, Ethereum was about $650 and now is $150. My question is, am I correct in just receiving my 0.1 Ethereum every 6 days, not caring how much it's worth (~$15), and just holding it until Ethereum rises back up? How do you guys handle your coins and their value when you get paid out from your rigs?
