The idea of this thread is to house the kind of comments and brain dumps that might take more focused topics off-track. For example existing coin specific threads like the Bitcoin investing thread have now evolved beyond the single coin scope.

I've invested in Powr from PowerLedger.IO, an AU blockchain electricity company that looks interesting an Elixir, a P2P crypto lending platform as well.

Elix has dropped 65% over the last week but it is only 2 - 3 weeks old so is quiet volatile. The app itself looks promising]]> 2359 Bitcoin wallet top up with cash and no I.D.

In Nov 2017 it is certainly hard to mine most coins via GPU especially with a number of ASIC devices coming to market. Baikal has their X10 slated for shipping at end of month. Batch 1 of the D3's have shipped and batch 2 is shipping soon. Batch 3 not long after that.

My modem is preventing me from mining by rasing a security alert.

Unnder two-way IPS it is interpreting the mining activity as a security alert and preventing connection with the site.

Any suggestions as to how to get around this. Modem is ASUS RT-AC88U. W7. Im using T-Rex

I am looking at setting up a 6 card rig (for now) and am investigating the riser card selection.

I have read a lot of horror stories of riser cards blowing graphics cards and I am concerned that a $10 component has the potential to destroy a $500 component. Having looked online, even the most recommended cards (Ubit) have issues with DoA and burning out graphics cards. So i guess i am asking those of you who have experience in this area for advice.
