According to a ZDNet report, bad default configurations in popular Ethereum software are leaving users' wallets wide open to exploitation, and hackers are taking advantage of it. The misconfiguration exposes the standard JSON-RPC interface commonly found in Ethereum software to the internet...

Bitcoin dipped lower than its one-year low to $5,533.09 BTC=BTSP on the Bitstamp platform. It was down 9 percent at $5,690.47. Analysts placed a price of $6,200 as the litmus test to see if buyers were waiting on the sidelines. The loss of value in the Bitcoin market spread to Ethereum and...

Google has analyzed Ethereum with its public dataset BigQuery. Data such as the number of transfers and transaction costs associated are available. An interesting tidbit gleaned from the article is that the most popular smart contract by transaction count is CrytoKitties game. Tokens can be...

Israeli based Bancor exchange was the site of a breach in which $23.5 million was initially stolen from its customer's cryptocurrency wallets. $12.5 million in Ethereum, $1 million in Pundi, and another $10 million in Bancor tokens was stolen when a wallet used to upgrade smart contracts was...

In an interesting move yesterday an official from the Securities and Exchange Commission declared that Ethereum is not a security. This is just one official stating this, but if the SEC sticks to this position it might mean less regulation of Ethereum in the future and may help this...

Researchers from Chinese Cyber Security Firm 360 Netlab have discovered that over $20 million dollars worth of Ethereum has been stolen from users with misconfigured Ethereum applications since March of this year. Just to add a little flavor to the conversation, there were only 3.96 Etherium on...

ASIC hardware manufacturer Bitmain has released its ASIC for Ethash according to an article last week from HotHardware. Two weeks ago we wrote how Bitmain was planning to roll out an ASIC for Ethereum, and the impact that the rumor had on AMD stock. The new Antminer E3 is available for pre-order...

A report today from Smarter Analyst states that Susquehanna analyst Christopher Rolland is downgrading AMD stock to negative from neutral, with a $7.50 price target. The reason for the downgrade? Bitmain is planning to roll out a new ASIC miner for Ethereum, each having 3 motherboards, and each...

Cryptocurrency seems to be infecting everything now and this new heater from a French startup seems to be a natural evolution of this infection. The heater is manufactured using two Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 GPU's (has normal heating conductors as well) and mines Ethereum by default. Put your...

I'm funding my annual trip to MegaCon. Feel free to make a reasonable offer below. ASUS Dual Series GTX 1060 3GB Purchased January 10, 2018. Have receipt if you need it.; $320 Shipped. Both SOLD. Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950 3GB $150 shipped SOLD I've had this card since I built my main...

In a report yesterday, blockchain start up "The Prodeum Project," whose goal was to "revolutionize the fruit and vegetable industry" with Ethereumhas apparently absconded with millions of investor dollars. Upon exiting with the investors money, the website went offline, ad was replaced with one...

This is my first time mining so I thought it's best to begin learning small before building a full 7gpu rig. I started with putting two rx570 cards directly into my old pc's pcie-16 ports without any riser. I bios modded them and overclocked both and got pretty decent speeds. When I run the...

Bitcoin has been the big cryptocurrency monster that everyone talks about, but Ethereum has been making a run up that's second to none. As a matter of fact ETH is up over 13,000% in the last year and is up 60% this week alone. This one bears watching and for that matter crypto as a whole may...

WTB: - Xbox One (prefer the S model, more storage is better, don't need the X, and I can get by on 500gb, so send me offers on that if that's all you have) - I bought an Xbox One from another forum, but the blu ray drive wouldn't work. I think that's due to the console just being thrown into a...

Hi there, I've just signed up to the forum, so a new figure around here. The past few days I've been researching about the profitability of mining bitcoins, bitcoin cash, ethereum and peercoins. Several mining calculators and platforms like whattomine.com seem to show more or less the same...

It seems like only yesterday we were talking about Bitcoin hitting the $9,000 mark. Today it's closing in on $10,000 and the cryptocurrency market has reached a market value of $300 billion. This is starting to look like one tremendous bubble and it's going to be very painful when it pops...

I know it sounds silly (not), but with the increase in value of Bitcoin and Ethereum it appears that the thieves/hackers out there are trying to find as many wallets as they can. According to several security researchers there is a significant increase in scanning for wallets on the internet...

Legit Reviews got their hands dirty this weekend with tweaking an RX Vega 64 LIquid and Claymore's Dual Ethereum Miner. To push the 44MH/s you still need a lot of power with these Vega cards. However you can tweak a bit and get the power way down while not giving up as many hashes as you might...

$3500 Local sale/cash only. I'm based out of Woodbridge, NJ. Build is less than one month old. Can provide receipts if necessary. All parts except motherboard were purchased new. All original boxes will be provided. I have only mined Ethereum with this. Temps average around 40-44c in my...

It appears the Ethereum gold rush may be coming to and end. As the price skyrocketed from $8.22 at the end of 2016, to it's peak of over $380 in June many people started investing in mining rigs. While Ethereum is in no way dead, the cryptocurrency has dropped over 28% in value over the last...

ETH mining is heavily memory bandwidth bound, to the point that incremental compute horse power doesn't really matter. After some experimentation, here are my settings (for NVIDIA) that could make mining more "green" and prolong the life of your cards. 1. Set the power limit to 50-60%. This...
