I am now 12 hours into waiting for my BTC to be in my wallet on nicehash. Shows as pending, but not yet confirmed. Annoying.
So apparently .Gov is going to do something in early 2018 regarding block chain technology... And companies like AMD are positioning themselves to benefit greatly.
Invest in AMD?
In an email to the Linux kernel mailing list over Christmas, AMD said it is not affected. The wording of that message, though, rather gives the game away as to what the underlying cockup is:
"AMD processors are not subject to the types of attacks that the kernel page table isolation feature protects against. The AMD microarchitecture does not allow memory references, including speculative references, that access higher privileged data when running in a lesser privileged mode when that access would result in a page fault."
You have to have a strong hand to make money if you think you have a winner but I'm sure you already know that by now. I'm still in XVG. Going to hold a few months and see if there really is a release. So what did your profit work out to be per day per card. Which cards are you running. I finally tracked down 8 1080ti cards now waiting for everything to get here so I can build. Sounds like you have a good handle on the mining. Have you looked at hashflare?
Sweet. I think I'm about to start buying parts.
Hard to find them in stock at a good price, for GPUs

Is there a reason you guys like the 1080ti cards? I found an 8 unit RX580 that I can get pretty quickly for less than $4000. What are the down sides to using AMD? If I buy one of these machines do I then have to pay someone else to mine coins....or can I plug it in and start mining?
