25k Pending Eth Transactions

Currently ETH is sitting still and since the 2nd December which has 2000 pending transactions we are now at 25000 pending transactions. This is something I never thought I would see with ETH as the last update has been amazing, GAS fee's currently sit at 40 cents per transaction!

 Even Vitalik Buterin Ethereum's creator said he never thought he would see the price of Ethereum's transactions exceed 20 cents. This is bad news for Ethereum, one of the biggest things it has going for it is speed and small transaction fee. This needs to be resolved quickly otherwise this may have massive repercussions 

Damn you cryptokitties 

Ethereum Mining Difficulty Reaches Record High

The second biggest cryptocurrency Ethereum has seen a huge jump in difficulty as it has never seen before. It is currently at the time of writing hovering around the 3TH mark which may cause a big big problem for home GPU miners. I know I turned off my little GPU farm a while ago and sold it all when the RX480 prices were insanely high, my question now is how much has this affected your earnings? I am not sure if I have ever seen such a rise in difficulty so quickly with majority of the rise taking only 24 hours to reach its peak

I would be very interested to hear from people who have Ethereum mining rigs

First Batch of Radeon Mining GPU's Revealed

So over the last few days on our Facebook page we have been hearing about the rumours that there is mining GPU's in production and aimed for release very very soon. Well over at overclockers.co.uk they have now listed various Radeon GPU's for sale all with figures for mining Eth.

Sapphire Mining Editions cards: 
–Sapphire Radeon RX 470 MINING Edition 8192MB GDDR5 Samsung 7 Gbps (11256-38-10G) – 25-28MH/s ETH 
– Sapphire Radeon RX 470 MINING Edition 8192MB GDDR5 7 Gbps (11256-37-10G) – 24-27MH/s ETH 
– Sapphire Radeon RX 470 MINING Edition 4096MB GDDR5 Samsung 7 Gbps (11256-36-10G) – 24-27 MH/s ETH 
– Sapphire Radeon RX 470 MINING Edition 4096MB GDDR5 7 Gbps (11256-35-10G) – 23-26 MH/s ETH 
– Sapphire Radeon RX 560 Pulse MINING Edition 4096MB (11267-11-10G) – 12-15 MH/s ETH

Now the figures aren't fantastic when reflected against the price but when you consider there are no 580's in stock in the UK and these are available to pre-order now this could be huge for people with GPU farms. Another thing that I think this is huge for is it shows that cryptocurrency is getting some serious recognition, finally people are waking up to the fact that it is not going anywhere and is here to stay

Invest Your Eth Invest in the "flippening"

With Ethereum surpassing Bitcoin in Google searches and increasing in value massively in 2017 it is one of the hottest crypto's out there at the moment. A great opportunity has come up to invest your Ethereum with gambling site iDice launching an ICO crowdfunding, they will give you a cut of ALL house profits and is based on the Ethereum blockchain. I myself have invested a small amount as like anything they all have risks and you have to remember these are all potential scams, so ONLY invest a small small amount. If it pays off great

Investor Protection

We have secured process using the Ethereum blockchain. All tokens sent are distributed via a smart contract automatically on the blockchain. This system works as an automated reliable escrow for token delivery between the investor and the smart contract by relying on the Ethereum blockchain. The smart contract is open source, verifiable, and completely fair. You can view the verified source code here. This token distribution system is similar how previous large projects have distributed their tokens like Golem and Melonport.

To protect further investors, we have created a maximum cap on the supply. 5 million iDice tokens is the maximum possible amount, and there will never be more tokens. When the total tokens reaches this amount, no more investments will be accepted. Even if the proposed maximum supply cap is not reached, there will never be any more tokens created following this crowdsale.

What you receive

By investing in iDice, you will receive iDice tokens at our specified exchange rate.
These iDice tokens entitle you to a percentage of all house profits.
These iDice tokens also can be exchanged back to Ethereum after the crowdsale via exchanges. 
This means iDice tokens themselves will be tradeable for Ethereum even after the crowdsale. 
Typically crowdsale tokens are worth significantly more once listed on exchanges due to more attention, so buying early is a good idea. 
In addition, we are offering bonus tokens for the first week!

Ethereum

So go easy with me as I back on the scene and very very new to everything AGAIN! :D

Ethereum looks to have burst on the scene and has brought back alot of GPU mining that people have been missing, its like the good ol days of churning out coins with your GPU.

So to stop me blabbering on not knowing what I am talking about someone has already written up everything you need to know about Ethereum located in one document which is here

The best program which has worked effortlessly for me has been QtMiner, I have had no issues with it and has been by far the easiest to setup. Download QtMiner Here

Also the pool I advise using which I have found has one of the lowest payouts and highest returns seems to be http://ethermine.org/
