All, I am looking for a low power and quiet ESXI build, probably 64GB ram to start, m2 would be nice. Will be using it to run a firewall vm and a few other vms. Do not need a lot of storage. I see there are new versions of the Supermicro E900-9D, one with a Xeon D-2123IT, one with the atom...

What are people mining these days? I'm still getting setup in my new place, I have the vega rig mining XMR. I'm in sunny AZ, been following interesting solar projects on bitcointalk and thinking about setting up a solar rig or 2 if the math works out.

Finally got my vega rig back online after my move. I have updated xmr-stak to the latest, and im getting 2000/card with no changes at all. I need to change my autoswitcher code to deal with the new stak, thats a project for next weekend. Actually 1 change but not to the miner/config, my miner...

Been running it on vega rig for a few weeks. In the middle of setting up Linux rig. Will update soon.

Someone posted a chart in the bitcoin talk thread on the baikal for feb, 70% of monero mining wasn't the big pools ie it was unknown ie asic, javascript bots etc. How much of it was these new asic miners?

Also the minimum purchase is a quanatity if 6

60w for 20k hash doesn’t seem right

Great questions and answers. Initially I just wanted to replicate what autoswitching programs like awesomeminer etc do - pulling best coins at the moment and mine them. However you have a great point - I am not selling them right away. I could add an option for switching based on difficulty...

Alpha is running - I'm just using 4 coins right now - sumo, xmr, etn, karbo for the test. I am building another nvidia rig that will be on linux for testing with Patrick's proxy and docker images. Basically you just add the coins/wallets you want to mine, and the script will go down the list...

Hoping to test the alpha version tomorrow. Actually started testing tonight but hit a bug I need to fix and its scotchy scotch time.

This is pretty significant - Wellington is a very old private firm. For example they created the mutual fund back in 1929. The guy that started Vanguard came from Wellington. Fun Fact they are the only Asset Management firm that makes people wear ties year round. They are also very forward...

A $1 Trillion Money Manager Is Adding Cryptocurrencies To Its Portfolios

I know there have been older threads on this - but what is the latest best method for liquidating aeon/monero/sumo etc? I finally have a bittrex account. Do I need a coinbase as well? Are there other accounts/exchanges that are better / lower fees? Thanks
