  1. Yes mate. Don't worry though you won't be expected to use it unless you want to (or maybe if Guy asks you to if you talk to him directly)
  2. Though I'd like to point a few people (including me) are having gui issues (though it still works in the background) i'm sure Guy will grace us with an update as soon as he can.
  3. Above my pay grade I'm afraid dude but if you head over to discord https://discord.gg/mX4AtMTt87 someone will get you up and running in no time.
  4. Thank you Guy Davis, I sold my fork coins the other day (that I never would have bothered with if it wasn't for Machinaris) and got an additional 32gb ram with the cash and I got a hand me down CPU from my Raptoreum rig upgrade. now 2600x and 64gb @2933 should be enough for the next few months (until 3d v-cache upgrade gives another hand me down) Now I'm ready for all the forks (I just wish XCH would hurry up and pay for more drives, this price is harsh)
  5. be patient it takes a few minutes to get everything talking (or you set the ip's in the btcgreen container setup wrong)
  6. Any plans to add Raptoreum as an option? (at the moment i'm running a VM to do this but it would be sweet to run this in a container)
  7. Having a full wallet that can just be opened with any device on the network isn't a grate idea. I don't want my kids stealing all my crypto. That is all best done with the official wallets (in an offline/cold way is preferable)
  8. If you mean does CLI work then I guess yes but if you mean does the Chia light wallet work for forks no each fork has its own wallet. The new Flax Wallet is a light Wallet but everything else is a full sync. (I wasn't able to just copy the chains mainnet file across and be synced either so it can take a while to cash in you forks) (though I got a $100 so it was definitely worth it for me and next time it won't take as long)
  9. The first couple of times can be rough. Take your time and learn it. Soon you'll be doing this down the pub on your mobile while ordering Sambuca. P.s I'm not a financial advisor!!!! P.s Don't pick an exchange token with high fee's aka btc or eth. You just want a fast and cheap coin that is acceptable on both exchanges. Dogecoin works but it's slow, xlm is good (remember to add the current the memo) Algorand is very good and if you leave it on some exchanges like coinbase you get a staking reward
  10. Step 0.1* practice with a small amount!!! Maybe $10 read every step before you start and join every site you think you might need to. You'll probably need to provide ID to the larger exchanges. 1* Join a large exchange that operates in your country (coinbase, binance) and pays into your bank or PayPal 1a* if they accept XCH then congratulations your basically done. (Pretty much skip all other steps) 2* find an exchange that does accept xch (many of these are just swaps and that's fine) Join one. (Or more) 3* find the deposit screen on your exchange and find its xch address (if it's missing you need a different exchange) send xch to the xch address provided to you by the exchange (making sure it starts with xch and you copy and paste it all) then wait a while (not to bad) 4* enter the exchange section (sometimes called spot or market or something) 5* be overwhelmed buy how complex it looks 6* select xch and look at the market value of your coin (you may have to choose xch/btc or xch/usdt and you'll need to decide how you want to get "paid" but remember that you probably need to consider your next move) Select a sale of your coins at a price your happy with (you can pick any value but only the current value will sell and you could just set it higher and wait longer if you want to but the price might go down)(practice) 7* now it's been sold.... You need to decide how your going to get those funds to the exchange that will pay $£€. So I usually try to find a coin that is supported by both exchanges. I do my research!!!!!!! (DON'T SKIP THIS) Then I buy that coin with the usdt or btc from the sale. 8* go to the larger exchange site and find the deposit screen for your chosen token then copy the address. Paste it into the send or withdraw section of your wallet on the small exchange. Wait for this to happen. 9* go to the withdraw to back or sell or similar section of the wallet on the larger exchange and sell your coins for cash.... then roll around in your cash like scrounge mc duck. I send my XCH to OKEX and swap it for Algorand then I send that to coinbase and sell it. That pays into my PayPal. Or I send it from okex to Crypto.com and I believe I can just spend it via their visa card but I've not tried that yet. (For raptoreum I've started using TradeOGRE to swap) For chia forks swap at forks.green i think (I'll be doing that this week so I'll update this if not) I sell my BTC and ETH straight from Coinbase (coinbase pro has better fees) I used to use Binance but my bank blocked it (🇬🇧) Having backup exchanges is a good idea incase your bank gets funny or an exchange doesn't meet your expectations.
  11. I take back what i said about CPU mining (well not quite) RandomX wouldn't be very profitable but running cpuminer-opt-gr v.1.2.4 to mine Raptoreum is grate. Though if you set that up remember the tune-up time For me I wanted it to use all apart from 1 thread and just have docker tasks just run a bit slower but when its "idle" its making full hash (so never idle) When setting that up I disable docker until the tune-up is complete (3 hours) I can now justify owning 2 more Unraid rigs that just run Handbrake and have HiveOS VM's (one with GPU's and one without at the moment)
  12. Silicoin went closed source (see a few posts higher) they also picked a terrible port. we should be avoiding it since we can't see the source
  13. They are questions best answered by your wallet and your opinions. NVMe is better. Outside of the array can be good but it depends on what your array is. I built a dedicated rig so my array is only chia and it has no parity but if your trying to do this on part of a system that does other things to (nothing wrong with that) then unassigned devices is grate for that. I think you know the answers to your own questions. I would point out there is a 3rd array option and that's making a 2nd pool. This can be good if you need different options to the main array. It's better than unassigned because you won't need to add each drive to the containers you can just link the pool
  14. @guy.davis do you need to do much with Silicoin since the restart? (Not rushing you or anything just wondering if it's just a port swap and a patch or a massive rework?) At this point I'm quite happy with the collection of shit coins but if there is any more to come then that could work to
  15. with a 3950x etc you should have no problems getting it below an hour. Maybe 40 minutes per plot. a SATA SSD is a bottle neck but if you plot First temp to ram (since you have 128gb) that won't be such a big problem (I actually plot on windows so I'm not quite the person to ask but my buddy DigitalSpacePort will probably help you out. https://digitalspaceport.com/ His YouTube guides are quite easy to understand and he will respond to comments and help you dial it in. Tell him KillaBitz sent you. I can do a plot on Windows in 40 minutes on a 5900x with 64gb at 2666mhz and a Gen4 NVME and transfer it over the network while the next one starts so your system should do at least under an hour. (especially since Windows is worse for plotting) Though it'll need to use most of the CPU cycles to do that.
  16. Something I noticed this morning. (I hit a chia block over night and I'm with a pool) In my alerts It says Cha-ching! Just received 0.25 XCH 2021-11-07 05:15 Cha-ching! Just received 1.75 XCH 2021-11-07 05:15 Luckily I'd already seen my wallet and wasn't fooled this time. Apart from that I'd like to say how I think what Guy has done here is awesome. (And his jokes crack me up) Update: The Daily Summery Alert says Received ☘️: 2.038838652322 XCH as if I had double farmed it. (0.038 is my pool reward)
  17. Same (0 connections) anyone know the Introducers address?? (dns-introducer.sitnetwork.org ?????)) ((Or any address I can connect to))))
  18. Yes just drag the image to another system and use etcher to flash it to a usb stick or if you have a sata to usb adapter you could flash it to a SSD as if it was a usb stick then boot that in the new system. Optionally::: Once your running on the new system you could log in and use expand command to expand the image to take up the full SSD. NOTE:: if you already did that before the move then you'd either need a big enough ssd/usb to accommodate the larger image or steps that I don't know to srink it. (((( just my 2 cents but :::: Though if you are building rigs your in club miner and your soon be thinking about more rigs..... this is already a rig. Build more rigs and let your unraid be part of your farm. (Unless it effects your UNRAIDING i guess) For me it's nice that my handbrake box will also be free to run and own in about a year. It is rig number 3 (4 if you count chia) And I'm happy to have a couple of cards in it. I tried to get every computer i can contributing in some way if possible because money is money at the end of the day ))))))
  19. Thats Nvidia drivers under a VM for you.
  20. -h $HOSTNAME is what I put. I didn't even consider it was something I could adjust. I've had no problem here. 5 months.... wow, I start getting upset about a few minutes of downtime. (It'll all be fine in a year or two once you have hit brake even, just try and remember that.)
  21. They have icons so, No..... I've seen this before so I'd call it normal but It's not good. When ever I've had this was based around a traumatic event (last time I had a power loss for example) I would normally replace the template. (You won't lose the data)
