  The United States Marshals Service (USMS) has announced an auction of 660 BTC that is scheduled to take place on Nov. 4. Under the auction rules, interested participants must formally identify themselves to the USMS and submit deposits of $200,000. **Also Read: **Trump Tariffs to Impact Chinese Mining Hardware Manufacturers USMS to Auction Forfeited BTC in Seven ‘Blocks’ The auction is scheduled to take place across two “series” and seven “blocks.” The “Series A” portion is set to comprise six individual auctions of 100 BTC each, while the “Series B” round will involve a single auction for the remaining 60 BTC. The bitcoins were confiscated from undisclosed parties in various federal criminal, civil and administrative cases, with many of them forfeited to the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Bidder registration will open at 8:00 a.m. EDT on Oct. 22 and is scheduled to close at noon EDT on Oct. 31. Bidders will not be permitted to view competing bids and will not be able to change the value of their bids after submission. Deposits to Be Returned to Ineligible Bidders The USMS is scheduled to notify all prospective bidders of their eligibility to participate in the auction process by no later than 5:00 p.m. EDT on Nov. 1. Applicants who are deemed to be ineligible to participate in the auction will have their deposits returned to them. The deposits of participants whose bids are not selected as winning bids will also be returned. In addition, the USMS states that “bids that are contingent on financing terms of any kind will not be considered.” In addition, it requires that “all bids must be made in U.S. dollars.” Winning Bidders Expected to Pay BTC Transfer Fees The USMS will retain the deposits of the winning bidders and credit them toward their purchases. Winning bidders who fail to finalize their transactions will forfeit their deposits, as long as the USMS is not at fault. The USMS also notes that “any transfer fees associated with the transfer of the bitcoins will be paid by the buyer.” However, buyers will be given the chance to choose the fees that are charged in the transfers. The USMS will start to return deposits to auction participants as soon as the bitcoin transactions are finalized. It adds that it aims to process all returns within five business days. However, it acknowledges that return times could take slightly longer depending on how many people participate in the seven auction blocks.

  Windows is never needed when you have pimp - Polaris and atiflash are included. Here is the quick version: atiflash -s to save the existing rom, example: atiflash -s 0 gpu0-stock.rom to save the rom from gpu 0. RDP in and click Polaris load the file you just saved click one click strap mod save as another file atiflash -p to flash it, example: atiflash -p 0 gpu0-modified.rom to write the rom to the gpu0 from the file.. Also, we will be releasing an even easier way, PBE CONSOLE edition - in the next pimp image. Thanks!

  How to use Xmr-stak or Cryptodredge miner built-in to PiMP to mine LOKI! How to Get your LOKI Wallet Download the wallet: https://loki.network/getting-started/ GUI wallet https://github.com/loki-project/loki-gui/releases Install the wallet and open the application. Tutorial of how to install Windows GUI wallet: http://telegra.ph/Loki-GUI-Wallet-05-05 In my experience I was able to use a Remote Node and (the third one in the list) and it synced right away. Your results may vary depending on network conditions. The first sync of the wallet will take a while. it's normal. You can already get your wallet address, while it syncs. Get your LOKI Address by going to the Receive tab, then click on Request Payment and Copy Address. You will need this Address for miner configuration. How to Use Xmr-stak or Cryptodredge to mine LOKI on PiMP OS: Run pimpup and update pimpup and/or pimp software if prompted. Press enter to go to the miners menu. Select Xmr-stak or Cryptodredge from the list by typing its number. You would type the number of the miners to update and hit enter. Update miner? Y/n Press enter. It will say ** SUCCESS ** New miner installed, binary is /opt/miners/whatever Press q and then Enter to quit. If you want to see all miners you can see it in the list with pimp --add. pimp --add 3201 (or 2701) to add the miner. 2701 (nvid) cryptodredge: cryptonights/lyra2v2/phi/more [cryptodredge.pcfg] OR 3201 (cpu/amd/nvid) xmrstak: cryptonight [xmrstak.pcfg] Example it will say miner added, and you can test it with pimp --test X where X is the number of the miner. pimp --test 3 (or whatever number it added) to test it. After a moment you will see the miner screen. If it is mining, close the miner with Control-C. pimp --edit 3 (or whatever number it added) to edit the config file. Pick the pool / wallet of your choice. use # to block the lines that you do not want, and remove the # from the lines you do want. # means ignore (in a pcfg file.) Double check the FLAGS= part near the bottom of the file to make sure you have the correct parameters there! Example: --currency loki is needed for xmrstak. Cryptodredge sets the algorithm correctly using the ALGO1= line near the pool/wallet settings. If your miner was still running, it will ask you to restart. Otherwise, use pimp --test 3 again to start mining again and connect to the miner screen. make sure it shows that it is mining. Once you have at least 1-2 accepted shares, Double check on miner.farm farm view and on your pool side to make sure you are sending hashes to the correct place. Miner.farm Side: And Pool Side: Thank you very much for reading, and the rest of the guide may offer tuning and troubleshooting tips. Comment below with your findings and questions! Special thanks to the LOKI Dev Team and their support community for this great crypto currency and opportunity to mine for profit using less power and heat. Dev fee: CryptoDredge and XMR-stak may have a % Dev fee. Most pools charge a % fee for mining.

  Hey pimps and thanks for using the PiMP referral program. Many of you recommend PiMP to your friends, co-workers, customers and family and we wanted to make sure that you share in the success of PiMP. We are by miners, for miners and we all want to succeed together. That being said, nobody likes spam or being annoyed by advertisements, and we work hard to prevent these things from bothering our own community forum, discord, and threads. Therefore we are always looking for a good balance between growing the PiMP community and making sure that it is done tastefully and respectfully, in a helpful way. Many forums will not allow you to post many links and/or banners, even in your own signature, and even if the post itself is very helpful or useful topic on that forum. It's sad, but everyone tries to fight spam in their own way. We want to make sure that we never fall into the category of being considered spammers. So... if you have your own discord, website, forum or community, obviously you are able to post as you see fit. We provide a referral url and track everything for you in your My Referrals section. We find that being helpful and showing new or troubled miners the way is the best chance of making their mining life better by getting them upgraded to PiMP. Helping others is also how we started this journey. Setting the example and being friendly and guiding others to success is one of our main visions for the PiMP community. Once the other miners see this they will want to hang out with us and share in our fun and success. Feel free to comment or question below if you have any questions about using the links and banners!

  Hello fellow beta`s, my name is Twizted as perse on the pimp channels i started mining as a hobby on alongside my regular use pc stuff on u guessed it a windows rig. started reading into mining and learning all i know mainly by myself and the use of the internet. after a month or three i found (pretty long search back then) luckilly better findable as of late the PIMP OS. i was allready fermilliar with ubuntu ever since 7.4 but switched back to windows now and then still use it but mainly for daily use the windows rig. anyhow i sticked with PIMP OS after a short research querry (google is a friend or ixquick :D) and found PIMP is the better of the mining oss. At least thats what they said i didnt have any knowledge on dedicated mining OSs so i plunged myself in the deep. Luckily it was a good plunge without hurt only joy and stability. As for the community i try and help where i can though i might not yet or ever be as good as solving problems for and with others regarding PIMP i do what i can. feel free to shout out to me when u need me Regards Twizted
