hello @Debster, i am new here too but have some experance from bitcoin and ethereum.
Welcome.

@wrapper Shapeshift? They had a rouge employee. A security guard. He made off with eth & btc and has not been seen since. It appears that staff at shapshift fel into the bad practice of not locking their terminals when they went to the loo. No customers funds were affected. It was the hot wallet he took

@bluebox any update on FTC in ShapeShift?
Thanks in advance
Warm wishes

@wrapper , Interesting read. Energy costs are holding crypto back as well as adding to the environmental issue. If we were to incorporate this hard drive method into a pre-existing coin it could massively improve hashing power and it would soon saturate the market to the point, everyone had one. I mean, if I could retro-fit this technology and it increased my hashpower by x4, I would still use all 4 of my GPUs instead of shutting 3 down and getting the same hashpower from one GPU for ¼ of the cost.
But for a new coin or in the form of a fork of an existing coin, cool!
That is, if I have understood it correctly. The reality with such an algorithm would be, you only need a good CPU and a HHD and not a high powered GPU. This may open crypto currency to more users rather than just appealing to gamers, fringe scientists, and computer geeks.

Maybe if we were to cover our GPUs, CPUs and HHDs in Peltier plates and use them as thermoelectric generators for powering cooling fans. The fans could blow air over the cold side of the Peltier plates to help increase the heat differential across the plates. This in conjunction with other heat recovery systems may be the way forward.

I was thinking of making a water heater or coffee machine and power it with a Bitmain AntMiner C1 (water cooled) but my eyesight is not what it was and I have limited funds and care commitments.
Anyhow, maybe in the future our appliances such as washing machines will earn us coin as we wash. That said, I don’t run my tumble dryer since I became a miner. I just put the clotheshorse around my rig to dry our clothes instead. :smile:

thanks wrapper, your cool. thanks for changing thread title.
I’m just going to let it run for a while, as I have loads of washing to do and get dry.
Mining is ideal for that.

I had to restore my machine to the last restore point so when i got it back, my newley installed wallet was gone. So downloaded and ran the wallet again and it now has to reindex (2 yeas & 25 weeks behind).

The address is the same as before so it must have picked up the keystore file ok.
So i got a wait to see my FTC. :grinning:

So i get a payout when we find a block?

I may bring you luck

Warm wishes
Paula.

thanks i have the NSGminer zip
what is the amount of feathercoin that i get for a block reward?
i will look at P2pool as well

Thanks ChekaZ, i need to enter Hash rate (KHash/s) in a feild of the calculator here https://www.feathercoin.com/calc/
Do you know how many KHash/s a HD7870 will make?

Best wishes
Paula

Hi you guys and gals,
I have some HD7870 cards and would like to know what hashrate they would make if i were to mine here? i found the calculater and the wallet. Do people solo or pool mine?

There is a Altcoin that has alrady implemented thisHHD technology called “Burstcoin”
https://web.burst-team.us/

I am currenty mining:
feathercoin with my GPUs (600kh/s)
Groestlcoin with my CPUs (600kh/s)
and…I am in the process of setting up for:
Burstcoin with my HHDs (???k/hs)
Litecoin with my usb ASIC (5Mh/s)

All on the same rig. Hope my 2kw PSU holds out!

Re: Exchanges that trade Feathercoin (FTC)

Are there any current exchanges trading? I found a site called
Bitcoin.co.ltd in Thailand, (the forum will not let me post the address for some reason). Has anyone had dealings? Are they for real?

Ok its working!
I reinstalled all GPU drivers and noted clock and core values in GPU-Z while mining Ethereum
Core 1000Mhz
Clock 1200Mhz

nsgminer --neoscrypt –-gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1200 -I 13 -o http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 -O 6wTKzQovBDnMrhxtcR44KyLz3xWAPx15Ap

Ok this rig has run fine mining Ethereum for the last 4 days
Today i tried to mine ftc

i tryed these bat files commands

nsgminer --neoscrypt -I 13 -o http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 -O 6wTKzQovBDnMrhxtcR44KyLz3xWAPx15Ap

Then:

nsgminer --neoscrypt -I 12 -o http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 -O 6wTKzQovBDnMrhxtcR44KyLz3xWAPx15Ap

Then:

nsgminer --neoscrypt –-gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 -I 13 -o http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 -O 6wTKzQovBDnMrhxtcR44KyLz3xWAPx15Ap

Then:

nsgminer --neoscrypt –-gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 -I 13 -o http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 -O 6wTKzQovBDnMrhxtcR44KyLz3xWAPx15Ap

The command window opend on each time and i saw some writing but it went blue screen with white vertical stripes before i could read anything. Had to reboot to get rid of the stripes

So then i tried sgminer 5 with

sgminer -o http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 -O 6gTcFMDZeJRL4tgJbnHQDjXZe8Gm7kKaT8

and got the same blue screen with white vertical stripes, again needed to boot to get out.

Currently mining Ethereum again.

what does it mean when the word “WAIT” appears after the fan and temp information?

No problem,

My NSGminer stop working ~16:00h, restarted, now ok, i might disable “Areo” theme in Windows.

The blip before midday was a windows update i had been putting off.

Also, last night i was mining on the node and saw high stale hashrate, i closed NSGminer, restarted then all ok. Any ideas?

I need to keep an eye on this rig, eth mining was very stable for me.

Also; I will be updating my address in a day or so when my laptop wallet has synched.

Do we have a place on this forum where node users can all communicate?

Warm wishes
Paula
