  Halving should fall on July 9th 2017 at about 1AM EST - as of this post.

  :)

  but may vary, based on the average block creation time. Nevertheless two days before the halving, the day is pretty certain.

  Heh I’ve been using @wrapper’s blocktime calculations as well as figures from Bitinfocharts.com to get me a rough idea.

  I usually do my math based on the avg of 1 min 3 sec block time… the variance isn’t that wild to be honest, I think even now we have a pretty certain date.

  I wanna get to the point where I can screen record/cast the blocks coming in on fsight.chain.tips so we can watch the halving take place live :-)

  Well the little variance we have shows, that our efforts to design and implement eHRC where not useless ;)
  We have updated the counter on www.feathercoin.com today, so it should be rather precise.
  We will update it more often for the next days, until the halving takes place.

  It’s interesting, that I didn’t notice that problem. My cudaminer can use one pool at a time only, so it simply waits and and tries every 30 seconds to connect and get work. It seems to return to work as soon as the pool is back

  @ghostlander Still not having any luck here. It looks like its hashing, kinda, but I see nothing ever show up on my pool. If I start a CPU miner on my windows desktop I see it show up on the pool after about 30seconds or so.

  Do I have to specify I want Neoscrypt? I dont see any mention of that in the readme.
  EDIT: Yes. I saw in the readme it says add --scrypt to mine scrypt coins but it doesnt say anyting else. I added --neoscrypt and it started right up. My hash rate is way low but I’ll fiddle with it some more to bring that up.

  Thank you :)
  I have disabled the Fee, and switching to a “donation only” … I think its the best way to start.

  So all miners are welcome @ http://pool.n-engine.com its free!

  @Vigospqr Thanks :)

  I think your steps are good. I have started from Linux, but later use Windows - just because it is much easier to switch between different coins/miners. I install in old useless HDD’s - 40-120 GB which is enough for windows, driver, miner and VNC. But you can use USB stick. BTW this motherboard has mSATA slot - you can use mSATA SSD drive - no extra components outside. Like: https://www.amazon.com/MyDigitalSSD-120GB-128GB-Bullet-Proof/dp/B00LNEVET8/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1508325198&sr=1-9&keywords=mSATA

  For now - get power, windows and HDD/SSD/USB/mSATA SSD
  And some case? :P

  Just a quick update on the farm… Current status: OFFLINE!

  The house I was living in was just a rental and this summer my girlfriend and I bought a new house and have since moved into it. The new house has a smaller garage which is now full of boxes and furniture so I have less space for a farm.

  I considered building a shed out back for them but havent totally talked myself into that yet. Also another consideration is building a larger garage (which I want anyway for all my other toys :) ) and moving the miners there. We’ll see what the spring brings but as for the short term I’ll probably setup 1-2 miners this winter just to do it with the added benefit of adding some extra heat to the garage.

  yiimp.ccminer.org, altminer.net, pool.hashrefinery.com all back online. There are likely others, but I haven’t checked them (or they don’t offer neoscrypt coins other than vivo or gun).

  hexpool.com still AWOL. So: starting your own mining pool (or public-facing server of any kind) is one thing, but knowing/implementing security in the aftermath of a hack is quite another. That, and having cold-wallet “insurance” to cover losses. ;)

  @Wellenreiter said in Feather Super Miner Suggestion:

  @AcidD

  That would be a nice world :dagger:
  Fact is that within das someone would start a 51% attack as it is easy with all others mining at 1khash ;)

  You can get a situation like that for a POS coin, where you limit the stake, so everybody has a chance to place a small amount of coins and mine a block at low hash rate.

  Maybe not… Im picturing a world with both dedicated miners, like we have now as well as tiny miners running only CPUs @ 1kh/s.
  Say there are 300 million PCs in the US and if each only hashed at 1KS/s, thats 300,000,000KS/s or 300,000MH/s or 300GH/s . The FTC network is currently about 2.5GHs in total.

  Ive thought before that one of the best ways to secure Bitcoin would be to put a cheap, slow, ASIC on every motherboard or built into every CPU/GPU. It would only add 2-5watts of power draw and if this happened to every system the combined hash would make the network incredibly secure.

  No it is because you have continued to ignore the forum code of conduct by going off topic on someone else’s thread and insulted a respected member of the community, after he pointed out, quite politely, you were repeatedly “offending”.

  @sabre Yep, you’re mining FTC.

  To see fan speed, power and temps, open another cmd and run
  C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\nvidia-smi.exe
  without any arguments.

  @sabre said in help needed getting started:

  last year i created a dual boot win7 and os/x system just to see if i could make a mac and windows together worked great actually sold it to someone for like 4000…

  If you made a dual-boot hackintosh, you’ve accomplished more technical challenges than a dual-boot lin/win system. :laughing: I’m a heavy Mac user but don’t have the nerve (or need) to do that to my pc…

  windows miner, which is already compiled and in the form of an exe file with premade config files for ftc, ltc,dopecoin, through pools and also solo mining so scrypt, neoscrypt, and the other main scrypts…

  @AcidD is right — I would also whole-heartedly encourage trying out some distro’s using the free VirtualBox app. If you do want to try Fedora instead of CentOS 7, try sticking to version 21 at most — the latest is f26 — because with f22 gcc5 was introduced and I’ve found it causes errors compiling some miners because they’re written around a gcc4 environment. CentOS 7/RHEL 7 is loosely based around f19, so it’s not that big a jump. Also, Fedora sports a direct upgrade path from one version to the next, which CentOS 6/7 and many other distros do not for which you’d have to wipe/install.

  Others here can help with which Ubuntu/apt flavors to stick with. I personally favor Linux Mint Xfce, or Cinnamon if you need a Start-like menu to feel at home.

  @ghostlander provides pre-compiled Windows, linux, and Macintosh (:heart: thank you!) neoscrypt-only ccminer binaries that you can mine FTC, ORB, PXC and HAL. ;) (Don’t be concerned that they’re over a year old, they still work just as well.) If you want to wander into other algo’s, you’ll need to wander into tpruvot’s ccminer fork for which he supplies a pre-compiled Windows binary, but the source compiles perfectly on CentOS 7.3 with Cuda 8.0.

  As far as pre-made config files, there really aren’t any… because the command line will be entirely based on the pool you’re using. All the major pools (except for p2pools generally) have their config parameters on the site. Solo-mining FTC (and ORB) probably isn’t wise due to current difficulty levels, but you can probably do so with PXC and HAL.
