Lately i have been buying 1660 super for around 300 usd here in bc canada, seems better then pumped up prices, 32mhs seems good as well

Have not found many of them that is a good price.

Since when we saw the tail wagging the dog (derivatives dragging corn down), I've become wary. TPTB have an unlimited amount of shiat money to throw at any ETF. Then who audits the ETF? Who audits the auditors? Physical corn, on the other hand, has this self custody thing that is very very hard to dodge... Wink

The ETF thing in general is good, but there are multiple problems that may appear and instead of blessing to become an obstacle (at least temporary) in terms of the price increase. First, there are two types of ETF - cash settled and physically settled. The first type won't have any affect on the price. But the second will have an impact, because the BTC's will be bought from the spot exchanges in USA. I don't think some respected company like Fidelity or CBOE will risk faking the purchases of BTC's. If they don't have the asset, they will have to use customers money to pay the new customers. This will make them a ponzi, and as we all know the law in USA is severe in such cases. The most famous case is Maydoff's, who faked profits from the activity of the firms and used the new cash to pay the interest. I believe the court gave him 150 years in prison effective sentence. So, although possible, it is highly unlikely this will happen. But, SEC are cautious and want to be 100% sure that the custody is well established and working. May be this was one of the main reasons for the denials in 2017. But now the things are different - Bakkt, Grayscale, Paypal, G&S, Fidelity, M&S, etc. are respected financial giants who managed to secure licenced in USA custody with insurance in case of theft. Therefore I think the probability of creating fake volume with non existent bitcoins is practically 0.

However, there are other problems that may affect the price in a negative way. The first problem is how exactly the 650K BTC's held by Grayscale will be managed if the premium continues to be negative. Will they apply for an ETF and somehow transfer the BTC's in the ETF market? There is a chance that the things may go wrong for awhile and thus causing some panic in the spot market. The other big problem is that the high expectations may lead to another Dec. 2017 buble like increase that may end just as badly. People thought that the cash settled futures will have a positive impact on the price. Then the great dissapointment came. A similar thing happened when Bakkt started. So there may be some drawbacks after all. Hopefully they will not bring another 2-year bear winter. But once the ETF market becames fully operational, we can expect at least several trillions $ invested in BTC for a short time of 1-2 years perhaps. And the best scenario is everything to go smoothly with an extended multi year bull market. I think the odds for that are much greater because of the new big players, who don't seek a quick profit.

October 2020 to June 2022 seems about right.

I can't justify buying AMD now.  Once eth is pos your algos are very limited with AMD compared to Navidia.   

I wonder if eth will go pos.

It may simply alter fees structure and tweak algo.

You are using phoenixminer just add in bat file this. -cclock 1150 -cvddc 900 -mclock 2000 -mvddc 950 -rxboost 1
It is most stable clocks you can play with them later until it gets unstable. in your case you have 6 gpus so your command will look like this : -cclock 1150,0,0,1150,0,0 here is gpu 1 and 4 is rx. look what you have press s letter you will see which gpu 1,2,3,4,5,6
make screenshot and show us so we can give you exact command

I am using nanominer from nanopool, I have here a 3 running rx5600 xt, AMD cards. I don't know how to set this up, current set up is stock and I am waiting for someone to post similar cards but never manage to see one here. So I have leave it for a while, can you somehow send me some tips if I can still improve the hahrrate of each card? I am getting 39 mh/s on each card on eth mining.
The highest hashrate I can pull out of a RX5600XT is 37MH, if you are getting 39MH well that's even cool don't you think? The gpu just sucks in mining performance, not close to RX5700XT performance, I've seen few getting 40MH on RX5600XT but with power draw of 130watts, that's not worth it

The 5600xt with proper settings can do 38 and 75 watts

Smos asus strix give me a minute to show a screen shot

it is one of the most efficient amd cards there is see below

Thanks

no worries they will move it for you.

Good to HoDL, but better to (also) enjoy while we can!

It's possible to do both. Easy in fact.

I do both. At 64

I have 10 to 29 years of life left. My best guess.

The death clock says 17 to 20 years of life left .

So hodl is cool but I only hodl some mining earnings.

Since I >

1) mine
2) sell gear
3) buy gear
3) trade

the hodl part is pretty easy.
the spending part is harder.

This year a new he shed is part of the selling benefit.

Fun experiment and yeah I remember that one, which makes $10 million Bitcoin impossible to imagine in 2010. But we're seeing steady growth in total wealth every year, so $10 million then equals to about $20 million Bitcoin today -- still impossible but it makes the $1 million Bitcoin "projection" all the more "plausible with every passing decade.

Plus we're getting USD pumped into infinity so who knows?


The USD will lose 30% to inflation due to the amount printed for covid.

This is very likely a low number. As it will compound over time.

I am 64.

Movies in a movie theatre sat matinee a double header 2 movies a few cartoons and a race clip if your ticket number's last digit matched the winner of the race you got a toy boys got models girls got dolls.  This went on in the 1960's I must have went to 35 or 40 matinees back then.

50 cents ! For this deal. now 1 movie with no race ,no cartoons  is 9 dollars for a matinee

 Gasoline 19 cents.  now  2.99 in New Jersey
 
New mustang car 2900. 10 Models to select from $27,155 - $72,900 from this website. https://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/models/


my point is natural inflation in 55 years did those numbers.

I have not got into gold mining of asteroids which if successful will change gold's value as a storage of wealth bigly.

https://theprint.in/opinion/giant-asteroid-has-gold-worth-700-quintillion-but-it-wont-make-us-richer/260482/


Realistically if it is mineable at good value gold becomes common and would be used much like we use copper. Copper is okay for electrical uses gold is amazing and far better for electrical uses.

So If you are stack coin and not stacking BTC think gold is scarce good luck with that.



10513  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price predictions based on actual data / mathematics on: March 29, 2021, 04:45:53 AM
Your name suits the thread topic so well that I gave you a merit Grin

Bitcoin is more than a currency 💴.

It is a store of wealth much like gold is used.

Gold is worth 8-11 trillion.

Thus bitcoin could replace gold or at least capture 30-40% of the market.

That would be as much 4.4 trillion.

Note to be clear about the cpu. Do not mine with it. Just mine with the gpu.

That way the cpu will not use much power.

It is not a big earner anyway. The money is in that gpu.
10515  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: XMR RandomX mining with Ryzen 3900x on: March 29, 2021, 03:31:25 AM
your ram does have very high cl 18

I have 14,15,16 on my miners.

I use 3000 or 3200

if you crash 💥 when you open ryzen

something is set wrong in the bios.



Do you think a Ram change to CL16 or CL14 is needed? 

I don’t know msi mobos.

had bad luck them and don’t use them any more.

so i don’t know how to set the bios.

if you botch bios settings you run low.

you have something wrong besides the ram cause you cant get ryzen to run.

10517  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: How do I prevent damaging my PC while using it to mine for several hours on: March 29, 2021, 03:02:08 AM

If I want to have my gaming PC mine ETH all night while I'm sleeping, but I don't want to accidentally damage my GPU, am I correct to assume that if I use MSI afterburner to turn down the power limit from 100% to 70% that I'll avoid damaging my GPU while mining for several hours at a time?

If the answer is yes, how do I do the same thing for my CPU?

 
My GPU is an RTX 24gb 3090

My CPU is an i9-10850k

the cpu wont use much power.

the gpu needs  lower ram settings.

not sure since my 3090 run with linux.

try using 60% for power.

buy your self a kwatt meter and let us know what you get at the wall.

kill-a-watt meters are like 20-25 on amazon or ebay.

Anybody still buying this dip from the ATH? I get paid in my fiat job tomorrow. Going to buy as much as possible, help me decide. I will buy £5 worth of bitcoin for every merit I get for this post. I will prove my purchase tomorrow with a screenshot.

Keep on stacking my WO family.

You are starting to push it now.

i will give 1 (one) merit to the next 5 (five) peeps to reply that they put Slot Kid on ignore. if any of those 5 peeps to reply already had Slot kid on ignore, they will get 2 (two) merits. no need for screenshot, honor system applies.

Slot Kid putting himself on ignore will not count.

edit: will merit in the morning.

Okay you owe me 1 merit.

ETH mining hashrate now double what it was back in September.  Instead of buying another new overpriced GPU right now, I recommend getting a VR headset and playing NEOS VR  Tongue

Whats crazy is if you asked anyone back in September what would happen to the hashrate most people would say it would decrease by 25% due to the ETH 4GB ASICs and 4GB GPUs going offline. However the complete opposite happened. This is proof that you can't predict hashrate.

Even if a bear market started I wouldn't be surprised if the hashrate stayed the same or kept going upwards. Basically what happened in the past with BTC hashrate. It very rarely decreased even in a bear market. Same will happen with ETH hashrate in the near future.

Yeah but  coin price soared. 1600 and 80%  fees means that we are getting 2880  not 1600.

so the idea that hash is up is not surprising in the least.


https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrate


Highest Avg Hash Rate of 478,075.4561 GH/s was recorded on Friday, March 26, 2021



July 20 2020 hash rate was 187,914 gh/s


price is now  1684 fees are now  145 gwei

and on July 21 2020 was  245.87. fees were 54 gwei


so actually hash rate is lagging bigly which is why miners are  Whaling!!  Grin Grin

I say stick a few more boats in the Suez and don't sell a lot of gpus.

I can see and extended score here for months and months and months and months

Say Feb-March 2022.

still runnning the one card it was hot the other day and I shut down but it is making more than 2 bucks a day.

it made 0.0006 btc in 11 days

and it was shut down 1 whole day on friday.

0.0006 btc = 33 usd

so it would pay off in around 130 days for me.
