WhoWhatWhen
***dj_goku has quit IRC (Quit: Lost terminal) [00:05]
................ (idle for 1h17mn)
mercutiobrycec: sct04 will probably be soon, but hasn't been scheduled yet. microcode patches were recalled, but they're not as good as the OS patches..
there's many compound issues. and ubuntu just had a security issue with one of their patches, i think for ubuntu 17.10?
there's still nothing from openbsd and freebsd afaik
(who only found out about it when we did)

michael_pi am looking at mineing coins on a vps is that possable [16:56]
mike-burnsWhat kind of resource usage are we talking? In short, do anything legal so long as it doesn't affect others on the same host. [16:57]
michael_pmike hell no
not into that
also i need windows
[16:57]
mike-burnsNot sure if Arp provides Windows out of the box, but the VPS can boot any ISO you give it.

[16:59]
JC_Dentoni feel like you'd mine so few, it wouldn't be cost effective [17:05]
michael_pi have a few pools one is bitclub network i have to wait tonight see what the output is
my time
also i am look at adding more to hasflare
[17:08]
JC_Dentonit's your money [17:15]
michael_pi have two option vps or a dedicated
jc what do you think
[17:17]
JC_Dentona vps is a shared resource, a dedicated system is exactly that - dedicated [17:19]
michael_pi cant do it from home cause of the cost of electric [17:21]
JC_Dentoni believe arp also does colo, if you have existing hardware [17:22]
michael_pi am looking at that
i want to start small
and build it up
[17:28]
mercutiocpu mining isn't really profitable [17:33]
JC_Dentoni'd do a little research first
you're going to spend a lot more than you'll ever get out
[17:33]
mercutioget a amd vegas or nvidia 10xx if you want high hash power for low watts [17:33]
michael_piam looking at gpu
i want get something de3cent that will mine every one
[17:34]
mercutioif you get 6 amd vegas or something i think you can make semi-decent money
ah go nvidia then
maybe 6 1070tis?
[17:34]
michael_pwhat about 6 760s [17:35]
mercutionah 760 isn't power efficient
even the 970s aren't good
[17:35]
michael_palso price wise nvida or amd [17:35]
mercutioamd aren't good for many coins
they're generally good for memory bandwidth ones
[17:36]
JC_Dentoni still enjoy my 2x980 Ti setup for games. eventually i'll do an upgrade, but the 980->1080 transition isn't that amazing/$ [17:36]
mercutiofor games 9xx is fine [17:36]
michael_pwait until the price comes down [17:36]
mercutioand games 1080ti is good, but for mining the 1070ti are better value [17:36]
JC_Dentoni wish decent FPS 4k games were a reality [17:36]
mercutiobasically cos of memory bandwith that deosn't matter so much in games
err memory latency, even
mining actually put video card cost way up
[17:36]
JC_Dentoni feel like 4K is at that point we were at 10-15 years ago where you needed the Maximum PC "dream machine" to push 4K at non-jittery frame rates [17:37]
mercutioprices are significantly higher now than they were 6 months ago even
i have a nvidia 1070, and i find 1440p at 96hz fine
but 1440p to 4k is quite the jump, and 4k at > 60 hz is another jump again
i prefer 96 hz 1440p than 4k 60hz thoguh
i reckon hdr will help games more than 4k
[17:37]
JC_Dentoni'm reasonably happy with 1080p ultra quality gaming [17:40]
michael_pthe parts would need to be built there [17:41]
mercutioi do medium quality with 1440p
michael: how much does power cost where you are?
arp isn't in some magic place where power is cheap
[17:41]
JC_Dentoncall me crazy, but i recently replayed the first Max Payne at 4K/ultra and loved it [17:42]
michael_plast bill 280.00 aud every 3 moths [17:42]
mercutiohave you ever looked back at old games, and they look a lot worse than you remember?
how much c/kwh though?
australia is about 30c aud per kwh i think
plus the air conditioning cost
[17:42]
JC_Dentonmercutio: dear god, yes. some are so ugly they're unplayable. [17:43]
mercutioJC_Denton: and yet they were fine at the time :) [17:43]
JC_Dentonoh, yes [17:43]
mercutioactually sometimes games look better on crt too [17:43]
JC_Dentonyet some, like Quake and Duke are still fun [17:43]
mercutioi always thought duek was ugly
and i wasn't really fan of quake 1
and quake 3 was always ugly
quake 1 looked too sharp to me
i prefered doom 2 graphics
https://youtu.be/BmtkcNfjZFE
[17:44]
BryceBotYouTube video: "Doom 2 (1994)" by Stormspirit 86 [17:44]
mercutioso soft :) [17:44]
BryceBotThat's what she said!! [17:44]
mercutiohmm it's rather angular, i thinmk it's just hte way the walls look diffuse [17:45]
JC_Dentonquake 2 > quake 1 > quake 4 > quake 3
imo
i dunno, i liked duke more than quake
[17:46]
mercutioi didn't know there was a quake 4 [17:47]
JC_Dentonand then ut99 > quake 3 [17:47]
mercutioi liked blood better than duke [17:47]
JC_Dentonheh
blood was fun
i can't find my copy for the life of me
i think it's still on GOG, though
[17:52]
mercutioi used to play blood on modem a lot
playing with init strings to disable compression, eerror correction, and connect at 9600 bps iirc
[17:52]
JC_Dentonoriginal starcraft and wc ii over dialup ftw [17:53]
mercutiohah i played original starcraft on this ipx internet thingy
had to play in evening when ping was lower ;)
oh actually maybe it was sc2
wc2

....... (idle for 34mn)
michael_pdose your servers are they gpu based [18:28]
....... (idle for 34mn)
i may get a vds
as long i can fine someone to set it up
[19:02]
mike-burnsUnrelated to VPSes (I can highly recommend Arp) but related to mining: it's not a get-rich-quick scheme.
I hope you're doing this because you enjoy playing with the technology.
[19:10]
...... (idle for 28mn)
michael_pi am not into get rich schemes
just enough to pay off the vps and some from myself
[19:38]
mike-burnsWell. Good luck. [19:39]
michael_pmike are you good at setting up [19:41]
mike-burnsI am not going to help you lose money on mining coins, if that's what you're asking. [19:42]
michael_pwhat is fi went dedicated [19:43]
staticsafeyou probably wouldn't break even [19:43]
BryceBotThat's what she said!! [19:43]
staticsafejust saying [19:43]
mike-burnsRight. [19:43]
michael_pany ideas then [19:44]
staticsafeideas for what? [19:45]
michael_pminining coins [19:45]
mike-burnsIf you enjoy the idea of the blockchain, the underlying proof-of-work (or alternative) technologies, exploring the privacy concerns and theories behind e.g. zerocoin, hashing functions -- then mining coins might be right for you.
If you enjoy making money, this isn't it.
[19:45]
staticsafeyeah go ask a financial advisor about investing into something more stable [19:47]
***michael_p has left "Leaving" [19:58]
............ (idle for 57mn)
JC_Dentonit really annoys the hell out of me how many people think they can "make it big" off of bitcoin and the like
~10 years ago, different story. today, heh, not so much.
[20:55]
.... (idle for 17mn)
mike-burnsRight totally -- those who will make it big already have, and the rest of us won't, and that's OK. [21:12]
......... (idle for 44mn)
mercutioi made money starting midway last year mike-burns. [21:56]
mike-burnsBig money? [21:56]
mercutioof course now bitcoin is worth 10 or 11k instead of 20k
not really, .. but more than i expected to
last year bitcoin went up in value quite a lot...
[21:56]
mike-burnsI made BTC money last week, but not enough to quit my job. [21:57]
mercutioyeah it's not enough to quite my job, but more than enough to pay for power
much more useful in winter though :)
but i would have made better money buying bitcoin than mining :)
[21:57]
mike-burnsDefinitely. [21:58]
BryceBotThat's what she said!! [21:58]
mike-burnsI'll stand by my point: those who will make it big already have. [21:58]
mercutioi was just surprised how much my r9 290 could make. and i caught the mining bug from there..
i thikn trading can make more money than mining
especially daytrading, if you had a large enough investment.
[21:58]
mike-burnsRight -- it's a barely-regulated asset. Treat it like stocks. [21:59]
mercutioalthough the market is kind of down atm which makes it harder to daytrade [21:59]
mike-burnsI buy in January and sell in December. [21:59]
mercutiogood idea [22:00]
....................... (idle for 1h52mn)
erraticadopt a paige today
mercutio: I was mining some keccak 256 ethereum hashlets on my r9 390
and I overclocked it a little
it was doing pretty good
I donno about a huge investment though
just a fun thing to play with
mercutio: you've seen this kinda stuff right https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAAK96GT3081&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Cases+%28Computer+Cases+-+ATX+Form%29-_-9SIAAK96GT3081&gclid=CjwKCAiA47DTBRAUEiwA4luU2cCXiMzd8X-v0LFIEDwN8iGH2Xeju2VqR3XvDxL3_bBWJO4m-KedVRoCzkoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

of course you have
