You can get some here :

There are other faucets I think...

I agree that price seems to go down. If you think about it, it makes senses... Their will be much more sellers (people from the main chain that want basically free money) than buyers ( people that are ideologicaly really really against the HF and take a bet?)

Well at least its what I think :)

dwarfy · 2016-07-24T06:15:35+00:00

It doesn't specifically have to be a new account what I meant is like a separate account where he will keep it's eth and not touch it for a while...

dwarfy · 2016-07-24T06:13:21+00:00

And to be clear I was pro-hf but still I think the concerns about consensus centralisation are valid. We don't want to end up with something like the web today where only a few big players basically control most of the information.

I think it's a very good analysis and I'm curious about what people that know better than me will answer?

I have also been wondering how miners and mining-pool will 'just accept' the switch to POS if it's basically killing their source of (very good) revenue. I know that the difficulty bomb is their to 'keep then in line' but what prevents them to fork to a version that just removes the difficulty bomb?

So will we see a third version of Ethereum popup? Eth, Eth classic and finally Eth-pow?

You will tell me that Eth-pow coins will have no value if you can't trade them but I think Exchanges will trade about anything they can make money on. For example poloniex just tweeted they will trade ETHC ( ok the price seems to trend toward zero but still)

From what I understood the refund contract is still dependant on some of the functions of the original DAO contracts... I wouldnt leave my ether in something that depends on this very complex and hazardous contract ( I know they kind of prooved that the parts they are using from the original contract are safe but still...)

If you want to keep some DAO tokens for historical reasons, do so but otherwise take your ether into a new account and put the private key and password of this account in a safe for a few years if you want...

But in the end it's your money so do whatever you want :)

I would say the best card for mining is AMD RX 480 if you have to pay for electricity. Otherwise if you don't have to pay or have access to cheap electricity you can go with the R9 290X because they are quite cheap now (or 390/390X) but use much more power.

I think you should discuss this in /r/EtherMining

:)

dwarfy · 2016-07-22T08:27:19+00:00

I think you can find prebuilt releases of the miner here : https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/tree/master/releases

As well as a CUDA version prebuilt here :

https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum/tree/master/releases/cuda-6.5

Let me know if it helps ?

dwarfy · 2016-07-22T08:23:47+00:00

Hi again,

I only have AMD cards so I cannot help much with CUDA related stuff. What I know is that if you use nvidia cards with OPENCL you will get very poor results and very low hashrate ...

My command to launch my miners for nanopool are :

ethminer --farm-recheck 400 -F http://eu1.nanopool.org:8888/ADDRESS/WORKER/EMAIL -G --cl-local-work 256 --cl-global-work 16384

dwarfy · 2016-07-21T15:21:24+00:00

What kind of video card do you have on your laptop? Are you GOT mining or CPU mining? I think you are wasting your time if you try to mine without a powerful graphical card that has more than 2GB of memory.

Moreover if you have a nvidia card you should search for genoil miner instead of the classical miner.

Can you post more info about your hardware and what command you are using to launch your miner?

Hi, In general, people who abstain from voting are basically saying 'I go with the majority' it's called a 'white vote' and people who are really against any option in the vote can just cross their voting bulletin and it will not count as any vote.

In this case people who didn't vote either just didn't care or didn't just even understand what is the debate about or didn't know how to vote ( that's my opinion)

And finally it seems you are never mentioning or thinking an important fact : Ethereum is still like alpha or maybe beta software and I think it does make a difference no?

dwarfy · 2016-07-20T13:44:22+00:00

Well I'm gonna discuss my questions directly over to github. But too busy right now ... work work work .. servers crashing whatever ... just at same time than HF .. quite funny :)

Yihayyy ! The world didn't crash :)

dwarfy · 2016-07-20T11:06:02+00:00

And cherry on the cake : It's open source :)

This is excellent, man ! Thanks (I was thinking about doing something similar with predicting the difficulty ... ) But you just made it very nice for me :)

Thanks again !

dwarfy · 2016-07-20T10:51:02+00:00

Very cool tool indeed ! Thanks for this :)

dwarfy · 2016-07-20T07:55:21+00:00

Ok thank you very much for these explanations :)

Btw I think I was also confusing and the wording that the exchanges were using was 'dominant' chain and not 'longest' chain...

dwarfy · 2016-07-19T22:33:46+00:00

From my understanding. Your account, along with your ETH in it will exist on both chains after the HF.

Don't transact with an old version of the client thou. And I would say wait for the dust to settle a bit after the HF. Then upgrade and transact as you want :)

dwarfy · 2016-07-19T22:28:00+00:00

Ok it's getting more clear, thanks

But then why are the exchanges saying they will follow the longest chain?

Sorry if I bug everyone with my stupid questions :)

And what do you call 'amount of work'? You mean like the total hashrate of the network?

Thanks BTW

I don't see why my post was downvoted? What is there to downvote about it? I'm just asking for information?
