... Jobs that push GPUs to the limit should have rational ETAs that can complete before their expiration date and pay a premium in PPD. ... I would agree with that if the issue weren't your card. You're using a card that had it's own next generation more than double it's processing power. While I d...

It did not work for me. Windows 10 Build 14986 (Insider Preview) with GTX 1080.

Given that so many things on your OS are beta and a mess, that's likely.

Never even noticed that it had a switch parameter, thanks.

A way to throttle uploads (so that they don't eat 100% of up speed)?
List headers that are sortable?
An option that completely does away with the web control?

Can confirm that the dll copy works on Windows 10 Enterprise with GeForce GTX 1080.

Given the ever changing nature of the work, there really couldn't ever be one either.

Care to share how?

I'm a lot OCD; I have 3 monitors; and I, literally, have 1 monitor open at all times for nothing but keeping an eye on my mining/folding.

edit: ignore my 1st comment, for some reason I went dumb and was thinking it was a 32bit CPU.

... 2) No need for a clean install if you get rid of malware :-) ... That's not wholly true, if the intent is a pure mining rig. The amount of bloatware, services, etc that runs in the background on a pre-installed system vs clean install "could" make a significant difference in any CPU p...

From the pictures I've seen of that rig, a 1070 "should" fit (given the slots are below the drive bays). That being said, if you're truly making it a dedicated miner/folder, I'd offer 2 suggestions: 1) Do the fan mod or lay it down and leave the top (formerly left side) open 2) Forget abou...

376.33 is working for me. I'm running 2 GTX 1080 FEs yielding ~140k ppd Something badly wrong anyway if you're only getting 140kppd from a GTX 1080 as it's what I'd expect if I slightly overclocked my GTX 950. A GTX 1080 should be giving three times that. Using 373.06, I get 600-700k PPD with 1 GTX...

Could you give me a example of a pre y2k crypto? I'm just interested to know, as I didn't think any of the early digital currencies were based on cryptography Off the top of my head, Bit Gold (not to be confused with Bitgold) was ~1998, but Chaum had written the witepaper for "Blind Signatures...

Well, I might be wrong as it's not really an area i'm that interested in - but I believe what your thinking of are part of a larger group known as digital currency. These have been around since the mid 90's in various forms. Specifically though, cryptocurrency is a newer form of digital currency, a...

Quick reply to Q4. F@H predates any crypto by 9 years. End of. ... Again a big overview answer for Question 4 is that Folding@Home predates Crypto currencies by a decade, so if it were all a 'Evil Plan" the evil plotters had a LONG term plan! .... Actually, no, there are/were several pre-y2k c...
