  After failing to convince a federal court regarding the nature of Blockvest tokens in the previous hearing, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has finally convinced the same judge that these tokens are securities. The agency alleges that the firm and its founder made several false claims regarding their token’s regulatory status.

  Just an update i have also tried changing the DNS on the router and rebooting as mentioned here. https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/1121/problem-with-pimp-key/13 The PiMP OS version is 2.8.6. I am copying and pasting key from the account page so it should be correct. While clicking clear on the account page for the key I watched the console on the FireFox dev tools and it does have an error in the response. Is the below normal? Also it appears the rig is still registered after clicking clear many times. Could someone check the cache/database to be sure it is not? Thanks!

  Hi Pimps, I recently had issues with my Nvidia rigs on Claymore, i then changed miner to Phoenixminer and those rigs are performing better without any errors till now. (3 days) However this is not the case for AMD GPUs (RX570-580) even if reported hashrate seems a little bit better. I noticed there is lower low and lower high with Phoenixminer and also current hashrate never goes over expected. On 6xRX580Nitro+8GB, the average valid shares on 5 hours was about 160 valid shares for Claymore and about 150 for Phoenixminer, with a minimum of 2% stale share and a maximum of 5% only for Phoenixminer for only 0-2% on Claymore. These are screenshots (the most accurate i had saved...) of valid shares performed on 1 hour for the same rig, the first picture with claymore and 2nd one for Phoenixminer. The red arrows are rigs that changed miner. Now this is graphs for 1 day of mining. Please note that it is mixed with the rest of my farm and mining is still a random thing so values may change about 5% to be precise. Claymore Phoenixminer I thought 1 day would not be enough to represents a "full cycle of randomness" so i did my personnal observation on 2 days (could be more accurate with more data) and difference is not negligible. To conclude i would say that less fee is great but miner still has to prove that it can perform better for AMD GPUs. ;) I hope you enjoyed my post and i wish you all happy holiday and a prosperous new year ! :)

  xmrig-cpu libssl error on 2.9.3+ Summary: error /opt/miners/xmrig-cpu/xmrig-cpu: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Status: PiMP 2.9+ will contain this package. Workaround: apt install -y libssl1.1 is the fix Reason: They are using a newer version of the ssl library than what originally shipped with ubuntu.

  Update: mtayyab has been continuing to build out his awesome solar-powered PIMP farm! He was having some really weird problems with the rigs, and we identified an undervoltage issue that was making them disconnect, lose network, and stop mining for various reasons. Since then, he has added AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulators) which have brought the system stability back to where it needs to be. Thanks for taking the time to provide these photos, as many folks are talking about solar power as a means of mining where power cost from the plant is very high, and for alternative ways to achieve ROI with medium to large farms! See you in the PIMP Discord, mtayyab!

  Our friends over at SnowGem have a lot of development going on and we wanted to give you an update. This coin is profitable to mine and also to run a masternode. It is based on the Equihash 144,5 variation so nvidia users should definitely take note. November updates We just updated the example profiles for bminer.equihash.pcfg (nvidia) and lolminer.pcfg (amd/nvidia) miners with some quick updates: to remove the miningspeed pool, we are sorry to see them go, we mined a lot of HUSH with them too, another equihash coin. to add the snowgem official pool, pool.snowgem.org, which has a beautiful and easy to use interface. You can quickly check by GPU here to see what you would make using their Profit Calc: https://snowgem.org/resources/calc For more details on SnowGem as a coin, we do see a great future here. Their Roadmap: https://snowgem.org/blog/snowgem-roadmap-2019 How to mine on PiMP OS the fastest way You can quickly add bminer or lolminer and test it out with just a few commands: pimp --add shows you all available miner profiles to add. We can see bminer and lolminer in this list because this rig has nvidia AND amd gpus in it: Nvidia: use bminer: pimp --add 2511 AMD: use lolminer: pimp --add 3401 Then you can use the pimp --test and pimp --edit commands just like you always do. For a quick refresher, check out the guides and videos here: https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/10/setting-up-miner-profiles and here: https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/24/editing-the-miner-confs Short version though, you can see here the SnowGem examples in bminer and lolminer: bminer.equihash.pcfg: lolminer.pcfg: in this one dont forget to change the port in the FLAGS= section! This miner needs it separate from the pool definition given in POOL1 in the top section. Remember - if you get stuck, post here, or jump in the Discord for happy helpers! For those that prefer the GUI, here is a nice tutorial on how to mine SnowGem using Bminer on PiMP and editing using the GUI Leafpad app: https://forum.getpimp.org/topic/3623/nvidia-profile-mining-tutorial-1-snowgem-xsg-using-bminer-bminer-equihash-pcfg Masternode info Sad to say due to the way this works it's not as simple as adding a feature to PiMP OS, but we are happy to guide you to the instructions! To create a master node you have to have a VPS with an IP address, this is really cheap at most cloud providers now, and SnowGem has a great guide to help you set that up. They also are very helpful in their discord chat. Here is a link to their setup video for that: https://youtu.be/yjD3nXmmerU You can also rent Masternodes: https://evonodes.com/pool/XSG For more news / to discuss Remember - we meet every Wed 3PM Pacific / 6PM Eastern / 11:59PM UTC in the Discord Clubhouse Call - Come join us to talk about Snowgem and any other topics that you like!

  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!

There is always the balance between productivity and security. More security means more time spent dealing with security on both sides. Security needs ? Has nothing to do specifically with crypto, more like bad actors getting caught. The feds can recognize the crimes. Hardware corner 1660Ti - anyone gonna buy these? will they be a good price point for hash/watt? No Raytracing - seems like a retreat and that it was released early or hype feature? Coin/Algos (Prices/Mining Profits/Difficulty) Support Team: mining GRIN now even on nvidia throws CUDA errors and the NVIDIA driver is crashing and bringing the rig to needing a reboot. Miner.Farm: PIMP OS news: Q: Is setting voltages on AMD cards via gputool a useful feature? v2.9.x Public Release ETA mid-Feb Newest video drivers and Linux packages (including CUDA 10) Including the newer firmware blobs. v3.0 Dev Team is working hard on the back-end and new PiMP tools. (select Beta Team testing of the PiMP tools will be happening) This is the design prototype - NOW is the time! to give design input All of the tools are going to be looking like pimpup3 soon. Being able to separate all the services across the resources they need, was a real feather in our cap! Links Q&A Lily, did you enjoy the work on miner.farm 3? It was great to roll out the fixes to all the problems and bugs we wanted to fix and what people asked us to do or fix. It was an enormous amount of work - and designing the entire project and infrastructure The changeover happened at the complete wrong time and we had a heck of a weekend but it's been pretty great overall!
