First of all, let me apologize to you, my most loyal followers, for vanishing without prior notice. You guys have been following me for years and your feedback and support is what made this blog become bigger than I ever thought it would. Why the Break? Sadly, life gets on the way sometimes and those past months I honestly had neither the time or the willpower to keep posting content. You’ve heard that right. I didn’t leave because of the cryptocurrency market situation, or anything like that. In fact, it’s in the times of change when people seek advice and look for information the most. Wish I were there helping the mining community but I wasn’t. During the break, I was still quietly mining and upgrading my… [Read More...]
Don’t Panic: Bitcoin’s ‘Plunging Supply’ Is a Feature – Not a Bug
Bitcoin presents a common-sense notion that’s surprisingly radical to many fully-grown adults: Once it’s gone, you can’t have any more of it. As commodities go, it acts more like a rare metal than a technology – hence its comparison to gold. It Doesn’t Matter If We’ve Mined 99% of the Bitcoin Supply The Sun posted […] The post Don't Panic: Bitcoin's 'Plunging Supply' Is a Feature – Not a Bug appeared first on CCN Markets [Read More...]

How Many Bitcoin Forks Are There And Should You Care About Them
For a lot of people there is only Bitcoin (BTC) and a couple of other popular forks for Bitcoin such as Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV or Bitcoin Gold, but in reality there are much more than just these. According to a website called Forkdrop that is tracking the available Bitcoin, as well as some altcoin forks, the number is quite big already – there are 105 Bitcoin fork projects in total, though not all of them are active or operational yet. Of those 105 in total, 74 are considered active projects relevant to holders of Bitcoin (BTC) and the remaining 31 are considered historic and are no longer relevant. Furthermore of the 74 active Bitcoin fork projects 45 projects have a currently-operating blockchain network capable of transacting and 29 projects do not have… [Read More...]
Claymore’s Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0
As both Ethereum (ETH) and Ethereum Classic (ETC) are getting close to Epoch 299 (the currently supported one by the previous Claymore miners) Claymore has released an updated miner for Ethash with the new version 15.0 supporting up to Epoch 384. If you don’t know the Epoch 384 will mark the limit for the GPUs with 4GB video memory meaning that they will not be able to mine Ether anymore. Currently Ethereum Classic is at Epoch #289 or slightly ahead of Ethereum which is at Epoch #281, so make sure you update your Claymore miner before reaching #299 if you are mining any of these Ethers. Reaching Epoch #384 is probably going to happen near the end of 2020 and the next 6GB Epoch is probably going to be reached sometime… [Read More...]

Mining Conceal (CCX) with CryptoNightConceal on Nvidia GPUs
The Conceal (CCX) project is another attempt at a privacy oriented crypto coin that offers some interesting features one of which is the so called Decentralized Banking with coins getting locked to earn interest. Conceal is based on the Cryptonote protocol and uses the so called CryptoNightConceal algorithm, a variation that is based on CryptoNight and thus is considered to be an “AMD Coin” due to the fact that AMD GPUs usually do perform better in CN algos. With low mining profits and with more people looking into mining other interesting projects however even Nvidia GPU miners are looking into potentially interesting CN-based coins. With the latest CryptoDredge v0.21.0 Nvidia GPU miner support for the CryptoNightConceal algorithm has been added and the performance does not… [Read More...]

Comment on 3 Simple Reasons NOT to Buy the Bitcoin Dip by Sajeel Aqdas
Future price of Bitcoin is not easy to predict. When i was analyzing the chart, I came up with an entry point that might not be available in the next year i.e. only available in this year. Bitcoin has very high price, that price can only be justified only if there is increase in activity of bitcoin usage. Until now, it does not look like the case.
