About 14 hours now I just assumed since the deposit was so quick and typically when I transfer from my ETH wallet to binance it's quick that this would be the same.....

Really wanted to scoop some more coins up b4 they start going higher.

Just seeing what other options are out there.

Ok I just checked and my transfer from Coinbase to Binance took less than 1 hour. I just bought over 4000 TRX.

If you have mined Ethereum and already received a payment you can send that ETH directly from your mined wallet to Binance. I did that just yesterday and it took about 2 hours. But Binance was doing an upgrade during the transaction which slowed it down. Binance seems to be working fine today. I just sent ETH from Coinbase and hope it will not take that long. A few weeks ago sending ETH from Coinbase to Binance only took a few minutes.

I am currently mining Ethereum on AMD (RX580) cards and Zcash on NVIDIA (1070 ti). Once I have all my rigs completed in the next few days I will be able to mine over 1 ETH per week and quite a few ZEC per week. Still trying to see which is more profitable but it looks like ZCASH will bring in more which I can then convert to ETH or just keep it in ZEC. I think ZEC will be going up in 2018 and so will ETH.

The NVIDIA 1070 cards are hands down the best performance to power cards at the moment. I kept reading how the RX580s are great but I think these reviewers have not really done their homework.

Here are my results with one rig:

Seven NVIDIA EVGA 1070 FTW TI 8 GB cards mining Ethereum:
32.25 mh/s each for a total of around 226 mh/s and consuming 780 watts power total. This power consumption includes an Intel I3 CPU, 8 GB DDR4 System RAM and an Asus Mining Expert motherboard!

Here's what the AMD cards are doing.

Six AMD RX580 Sapphire Nitro+ 8 GB cards mining Ethereum:
30.8 mh/s each for a total of around 185 mh/s and consuming 880 watts power total. This power consumption is for the cards by themselves since their power supplies are connected to the second power port on the Mining Expert board which does not drive the CPU and rest of the system. That is just way too much power for 6 cards. I have already tweaked the hell out of the BIOS for each RX580 card. Reducing the power consumption makes it unstable.

When it comes to Zcash mining the NVIDIA cards are doing even better! My 1080 ti is capable of 800 sol/s at 100% power. I have it dialed down to 80% though to reduce power consumption and it is performing at 750 sol/s. AMD cards does not perform as well with Zcash compared to Nvidia. I think the RX Vega 64 , their latest and greatest, can only achieve about 475-480 sol/s. My 1070 ti cards perform around 450 sol/s at under 55% power settings.

The reason I am mixing AMD and NVIDIA cards is because Windows 10 currently supports a maximum of 8 NVIDIA cards per system and 12 AMD cards. I could go with Linux to circumvent that but really did not feel like doing that. I have experience with Linux but really prefer to stay with Windows.

So I have 13 GPU cards per rig. 7 NVIDIA and 6 AMD. The motherboard supports 19 GPU cards but you can only use 13 gaming cards (NVIDIA+AMD combined) at the moment. To max out 19 cards you need to use the ASUS P106 mining cards which don't even have a display port on the rear of the card and is strictly designed for mining. Their performance is not that stellar either, around 26 mh/s. I am waiting for ASUS to bring out a revised BIOS that will remove this restriction.
Wow sounds like you have a pretty serious setup. At the moment I just upgraded my vidcard for my gaming rig got an rx580 for 200$ at Christmas.

Started mining with that just to mess around and found it's a decent card for mining.

So found an rx570 for around 210$ and scooped it up as that's really all I can put in my current pc/power supply without really sinking money into things.

I'm not trying to go crazy yet just spending a few dollars to see what I can do with current computer maybe if things go good will get crazy later.

My transfer finally went through taking about 14 hours for 100$ of eth to transfer from coinbase to binance....

So here's another question as far as trading.....

I've mainly been using binance, how does one go about trading the smaller coins say XVG for say TRX or visa-verse??? Is this possible on binance or do you have to convert them back or sell them on another market???

The servers are overwhelmed. Everything is going to take time now. I doubt it will take 7 days but it will likely take hours.

You have to switch them back to eth/btc/ltc and then you can go to another smaller coin.

Ethereum > Buy Tron > Back to Ethereum > To XXX

For a bank buy on coinbase it tells you when funds will be available. @MG0h3 thats why people are using CC/debit to buy, it’s instant but the fees are high.

I think it's because I used my bank account rather than a debit card?

I'm still half lost on all of this. I don't see where I can use LTC to buy on Binance.

Also, in my wallet I see a send tab but I can't explore its use since my LTC isn't there yet. I'm guessing I'll use that to send the LTC over to Binance?

But first you want to transfer to GDAX then binance.

On binance you’ll see coin pairs i.e. TRX/ETH, TRX/LTC etc, you’ll want to go to the pair that are buying with. There may be the chance that what you want to buy isn’t paired with the coin you have...

^^^ you the man.

Actually it appears that you can't buy any of these lower dollar alt coins with anything other than BTC ETH or BNB. Hopefully I can just change the LTC to ETH and send it Binance. What's weird is the video showing sending the LTC to Binance; I don't see any pairing with LTC.

You use LTC to send to Binance because it cheap and fast in comparison to the others. Once in Binance you need to change that LTC to either BTC, ETH, or BNB as that is all they offer as primary currencies, and then from there you can purchase whatever smaller currencies you wish. In Binance, when you sell, it will always be to one of those three primary currencies. It's the transferring across exchanges where you want to use the fastest and cheapest so it gets there fast and you don't rack up as much in fees. With the servers being overwhelmed you will certainly be waiting longer than before so you don't want to make the mistake of trying to use BTC for example.

Well figured out my issue.... using an old version of binance app and it wasn't calculating my sells and things like it should have.

Updated the app now it's all much clearer!

I can't believe what a bunch of garbage all of these sites and apps are. Geez. Imagine if they can actually develop something that isn't a hassle.

Anyone know the trick to logging into the coinbase app? Same email and password and it's saying error/incorrect. Sitting here looking at the laptop and confirmed 20 times they are the same. Only need it to do the verification for GDAX.

Hey just to give everyone in Ripple XPR the heads up, article came out a few hours ago from coinbase basically saying they are not going to be adding XRP at least in the near future and hence the price tank thats happening now, Likely Ive been out because I didnt like the action but Id imagine most of you are still in and dont want to be left holding the bag.

Okay; and can you transfer without Gdax? That's the current issue. Trying to use the app to verify my account with ID/photo; can't log in.

Yes. I transferred all of my stuff from Coinbase to Binance, but the others are correct in that it would be cheaper to send to GDAX and transfer to Binance from there. The fees I saw were pretty small though so I didn't mind. Just try to do it all at once.

Well that's just dandy. I wonder how far it will go down. I'm contemplating jumping it over to TRX for now if it is going to keep falling.

Edit: I went ahead and jumped out of it for now and am going to leave it in Ethereum for a bit and see what the market does with these other coins. I still more than doubled what I had initially put in XRP though. I'll get back in when it hits a little lower.

Edit #2: I ****ed that up. I shouldn't have been doing that without a clear head. Im on meds for a back injury and Im thinking I sold at the bottom on that one lol.

I'm considering getting more ripple if it gets a little lower. It's 3.10 as of now. We'll see what happens. Mass sell off/panic is a good time to get back in. I think it will hold at 3.00 but if it gets to like ~2.80, I'm definitely putting more in.
