It is nice to see people here who have the ability to actually think for themselves, unlike the some of the "BAN THE TROLL" regurgitators! give it a rest, it brings nothing to the table except ignorance and creates anger.

Discussion I often get very angry with, so I apologise, but I do not suffer fools gladly and there are a lot in "crypto land"

Bumface, please let Rapture handle the PR.  Your attitude shows as detrimental and comes across as very childish, please, for UTC's sake, stop replying, let one of the others on the "TEAM"  Even if you believe it's warranted

YOU guys are selling the product, not us........

I do hope the Devs listen, some maturity around here would be more than welcome, and I do include myself in the "immature" by some of my previous posts. @Rapture, thankyou for the response, I would, but stupid forums keep screwing up my registration (though what happened to the first, deleted from inactivity?) will try again later

Does anyone else find, the people shouting "troll" the loudest, actually have the least common sense or understanding/information of what they are actually dealing with to look at this objectively?  Pure out "attack" IF I was to do so, trust me, you would know.  I trust no one with blind belief in anything and there are plenty of those here.  Ignorance is dangerous, at least now I feel there is a little more openness around here, even if it's not all positive.  All coins are in the same boat (or will be) if not, the other coins will get to this point sooner or later, unless they have millions of £ behind them, which only one coin really does!

If you don't understand how the POS works, I suggest learning some basics before shouting "TROLL" https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_Stake

Example:  FTC, look at everything they have going on right now.  ATM, the point of sales device, the new algo (soon...ish which is merely asic resistance)  Epic amount of stuff going on, no one shouts about it,  They have one of the second biggest ((almost) decentralized) blockchain infrastrucures.  Yet it's struggling, sure the price may fall, most other coins are all shouting with no substance, nothing to back their claims of being "money" No support

Until UTC learns to forget about knee jerk Algo changes that help no one and concentrate on the infrastructure to spend their "coin" it's doomed to fail, sorry guys, but it's the truth, same as every other coin out there!

There are a few small projects in UTC that are great.  But that is only the first step to creating an "economy" because unless you're a scam artist, that's exactly what you are trying to create, is it not, to support use of your "money"?

 

I feel your pain. I started mining BTC in 2009. The crypto landscape is pretty ugly right now IMHO. Way too many coins and scammers. Can UTC survive what's going on? I hope so but I don't know if the current direction is the correct course of action. It will be interesting to see what happens when the 400+MH/s scrypt asics hit the scene. They will be massive game changers but only for the people with deep pockets I'm afraid. Look at what's happening to LTC. Difficulty continues to go up, price continues to go down. Only megahashers make money there now to get ROI. I think that's what we have to look forward to for the foreseeable future. JMHO

Have you noticed that UTC net hashrate has gone slightly up? The same with UTC multipool (ATM there's 785 MH, maybe we hit 1 GH again ), so more miners are coming to us. We should give them a try and not to go full POS for at least a few months to see what happens when ASIC miners hit scrypt coins.

Whats UTC strategy? Can i hope to UTC for long-term investment?

I have pointed some of my hashing power at UTC, which would be HELPING UTC except it doesn't because you will be going full POS soon. But I will be cashing in on any fake pump this dev team seems to be most interested in. I won't be holding on to any coins when you go POS. Any intelligent person should be very weary of what happens when you go full POS based on the experience of other coins, but it seems no one making decisions for UTC have a clue about the concept and benefits of mining, and don't expect them to learn any time soon.

I don't mean to be throwing just negative crap. I am serious when I say you should consider deleting EVERYTHING from RichardMiner and Marnie1976 as you self-moderate this thread anyway. I would be shocked if they had any wealth to invest. I would also say utcminer, but I think he actually runs a pool or something. If you look at their posts, it is all childish if not psychotic--aside from the broken English. Before you yell and threaten me, realize that I am not a stakeholder in UTC or pretend to have an influence, so I don't affect your image, but they do.

It is great to see some glimmer of intelligent conversation, but the people starting that convo have been shouted down as trolls in the past... No matter what you have created a lose-lose situation as you have already announced full POS, and it will surely be damaging to go back. You may view it as innovative or doing a much needed SOMETHING, but it comes across as fickle and desperate. I mean you talked to some 'experts' behind the scenes? You got scammed if you thought they were experts.

I think just about every single coin that is older than a few months is experiencing a slow decline the past month or so. Litecoin experienced a decline for at least 2 months before it shot up from $1.60 to $48, so... please just focus on the great efforts of marketing and leave the manipulation alone. NVidia is coming out with a high-end card with 8GB at the end of the year, which will surely influence the memory intensive coins. There are hopeful events to look forward to which can increase the price. I AM a potential investor. I love scrypt-chacha.

Thank you dear Beave162 for your "negative comments and advice" and "attacking attitude".

As the N factor increases you're more limited by the DRAM on your mobo than the VRAM on your video cards.

I have a 4GB stick of RAM for a 6 card mining rig. I can mine Vertcoin or Yacoin without needing to change the mobo RAM. If I add another 4GB of RAM or replace the 4GB with an 8GB, there is no difference in settings, hashrate. What are you basing that claim off of?

I should have said I noticed no significant difference, but it makes sense that the 4gb shouldn't see much difference compared to the 2gb cards. I can easily measure it right now on the same mobo, psu, RAM, gpus. I'll add an edit with the results.

Now, I am really wondering where this idea is coming from: scrypt-chacha has problems with power and temperature...

Edit: I just measured the output at the wall of my 6 x R7 240 4GB rig:

Ultracoin (NFactor 13) - 256W

YACoin (NFactor 15) - 235W...
