when you turn down the freq does it lessen how much electricity they use?

Even with the 4% bump, (which I appreciate very much even if it is only for a week), its barely profitable to mine at this point. I am guessing that's the biggest reason.

I generally agree with what you say Steve. I am also looking forward to you getting away from just scrypt mining.

This is very interesting Steve, I am glad you took the time to type this all out. As a neophyte in this my observation seems to be that coins that are mined do better and are actually worth more than the ones that are not. Wouldn't it also be that once they can be mined that now others have an actua...

A sponsor at the smart capital conference?! If only I had known earlier I would have hopped in my Leer and headed over, but I have to shear my alpaca's that weekend...bummer dude

Well Netgear is pretty horrible too, odd how such otherwise successful companies fail at something so basic. Shame, I really like the simplicity of coinbase too. Guess I will switch it over to kraken but basically things like this, (money disappearing especially), that gets regulation involved and m...

That's very interesting about coinbase. Last transfer was on 7/20 for Lightcoin and is automatic as well, went thru fine. Very frustrating the amount of "glitches" in this market.

What Ziggy said. In 30 days they will cost 500.00 and you will be making a few bucks a day. I used to think that if the market picks up these rigs would pay for themselves but there is just to many out there never mind the farms. I like mining and just do it as a hobby, I have no illusions about get...

Yep, Jeff is correct, this was not a fork and didn't effect the algo's. Zcash is agnostic about the whole miner thing - I don't think they give a rats ass about miners is the truth. How overwinter helps zcash is beyond me.
