There is truth to this.  Eth is back to 1720 today.  I still think it can top 3k in the next 3-6 months.

that address has a lot of spam deposits for a long time period.


first cheap deposit was in 2013

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/69ee54bc1d0307fd061c9bd3261d377a879ff392045a9ca2633b8e13c93e0f6e


last real move was a 3 coin withdrawal in 2010

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/491745d93b05675c27e2ee5515ca0b24b699bbdd65955dbd1fb280a18adf9e12



I count about 35 spam deposits from 2013 to now.

another top 10.

50K +. niceeee!

1) Rich in money ? 100,000,000 million works for me.
2) Rich in BTC ? 4000 BTC works for me.


3)Rich in health ? I am 64 I need to be 32 again with zero heath issues and a guarantee to live at least back to 64 > Not sure this is possible for me or anyone else.

4)Rich in love life? My wife needs to be 30 again with zero health issues and a guarantee to live at least back to 62 > Not sure this is possible for me or my wife.

5)Rich in friends?  I am as I have my wife.

So I am 1 for 5.

1 and 2 are not likely

3 and 4 are not possible as far as I know.

But having number 5)  One really good close friend is very nice.

I have that fan and it does not work well as I would like it to with s9 controllers.

get a delta they are better in general. if you can not find one

here is an okay fan it works for s9 controllers.  seller is usa based.



https://www.parallelminer.com/product/parallel-tvn6100-fan-6100-rpm-pwm-variable-speed-260cfm-2-8a-12v-120mm-x-38mm/

it is 2.8 and delta are 2.7 amps I have six of these fans all work well with s9 and or l3+ miners.

At op at best it is a novelty item.
If this was my website I would insist you mention that it may or may not be a worthless item and that most likely it is worthless.

But it is not my website and my opinion is pretty much worthless as to the true worth of your deed.

do it on this link

You are new so people will want escrow service.

These sideways movements are really good for BTC .

  I would take 60 more days from 48k to 58k  then the huge jump close to or maybe breaking 100k level.

Eth has to be the king of shit coins.

What happens if mr V wakes up dead tomorrow Eth tanks 75% and they go to war over who controls it.  All depends on him mr v.  just what a person needs.

BTC does not need mr S. to thrive does it?

Steady upwards move but eth rallied back in price a bit to 1,651 usd

It was around 730 on jan 1 2021

so. 1651/730 = 2.26 to 1

and

437/293 =  1.49 to 1

fees are still pretty high 1.61%

and it is $0.0852 per mh
so a 3080 makes $8.52 a day with 50 cent to 1.52 for power
or 7-8 a day after power.

Does it mean go buy 50x 2000 dollar 3080 units no it does not .

But I am content to get one or two at a time for 1200 or less. They do become available at that price here and there/.

Yeah do these two

this is fire proof 78 by 78

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1F737R/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

these muffle sound

https://www.amazon.com/Sure-Max-Moving-Packing-Blankets-Furniture/dp/B073V5CRQ7/ref=sxin_9?

put the fire proof near the gear then the moving blanket

here is 1 more item

https://www.homedepot.com/p/UltraTouch-48-in-x-24-ft-Radiant-Barrier-with-Recycled-Cotton-30000-11424/100661257


setup would be

[gear] [fire blanket ][radiant barrier][moving blanket] is best
[gear] [fire blanket][moving blanket] is second best
{Gear}{radiant barrier}{moving blanket}  is third best


if you skip fireblanket make sure to point the silver part of the radiant barrier at the gear. as it is heat resistant.



the only bad setup is moving blanket alone as they may not be fire resistant.

Tough call for build out vs cash out.

I have tons of cheap power and could add 50-75 cards.
I have 60+ cards
I have L3+
I have sha 256 miners.

If I had no partners I would sell all the gear. Go on a holiday from mining. But with partners it is more complex.
When I look at this mining setup and look at the market I would say mining for 5 years makes more sense.



Also I am 64 years old while my mind is young and my body is still okay working every day has less appeal then it did 20 years ago.
With the covid-19 scare with myself and especially my wife. I know making money is not everything.

 I would like spending some money and doing nothing but sight seeing for a while. I am going on a 7 hour roundtrip drive to look at a site to set up a farm. I do not want to support this farm once it is setup as 7 hour round trip drive means a sleep over if I am to do decent work.

My single Nvidia 3060 mining at nicehash


https://www.nicehash.com/my/miner/1JdC6Xg3ajT3rge3FgPNSYYFpmf53Vbtje

So yeah it does not make a fortune but it will pay for itself in well under a year if I get it at retail price.

So with 3060 I look to get it at retail price.

  I got one from the Newegg Shuffle for msrp. $428 after tax and shipping it burns 5 kwatts on a 1 card rig. my winter power cost is 10 cents my summer cost is 18 cents.  so 50-90 cents make it 70 cents on average it earns 2.50-3.00 a day make it 2.70 a day - .70 is 2 bucks a day.  or 428/2 = 214 days for a free card.
I have a 3 year warranty.  I have zero issue buying these and mining octopus. I would add 3 more today if I got them at $428 each. So effectively to a guy like me 50+ plus cards running this is not a problem.

But to a guy with a 2 card rig that wants to game in the day and mine at night this is a fuckover.

I think you waited too long to open the thread. Feb 21 or Feb 20  would have been the two days to write this post/thread.

You should lock it..


 as the time now is to buy it cheap before it hits 70k

Yeah every source I know is dry. The chip shortage is real.

Eth payouts are still very good and rallied a bit from 7.7 cents an mh to 8.4 cents an mh

A 3080 doing 100 mh is making $8.40 a day - 7kwatts of power lets say $1.40 at 20 cents a kwatt for a garage miner. Thus it is $7 a day for  a 3080 makes a 3080 worth 200 x 7 = 1400

they are going for more. But I simply think they are not going to be available.

Some prices for the 3080 Evga's I have

2100
https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GeForce-RTX-3080-XC3-ULTRA-10GB-GDDR6X-Graphics-Card-Ships-Same-Next-Day/143970690287?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-GeForce-RTX-3080-XC3-ULTRA-10GB-GDDR6X-Graphics-Card/124616514319?

It is tempting to list my 3 cards for 1600 each here on Bitcointalk. As no one is selling them under 2100 on ebay.

I have a 4th one on the way. The three above have been mining since  November. They have earn about 20 average a day for about 120 days = 2400 on a free power setup.

I paid about 2400 for them.  So they are with roi or +-100 from roi.  I wonder if anyone would pay me 1600 each They are registered in my name at evga and have 2 years and 8 months on the warranty.



I still feel strong rally on the way.  Maybe 3000 a coin for eth by July leading up to the EIP-1559
Yeah I don't know how long I will live to , but I know when I look back on 2021 I am going to like to remember the bull run.
I hit the 2013 run weakly
I hit the 2017 run better
I hit the 2021 run even better.

The title of this thread was so spot on.

I am guessing the chip shortage is the worst ever. It could mean not much in the way of gear until Nov-Feb .

meanwhile price went up 🆙 on eth closer to 1650.

now trying

c=1050
m=1950
mv=800
hash = 60mh.

these cards are not a big deal

anyone have settings for amd 6800xt?

my first one came today using it on smos


core 1200
ram  1800
volts 800

my new 6800xt is mine 0 hash rate
I have a 1 card rig with


5.4.98-sm1 / amd20.40r5.6.31 / v1305

some help please

using phoenix 5.4c


-eres 4 -pool daggerhashimoto.usa.nicehash.com:3353 -wal BTC addy -pass x -proto 4 -rmode 2 -stales 0

Yeah this could killed them bigly amd may say buy us we can mine eth

Also I get over 4 a day on my 3060 doing octopus.  So I simply say 100 x 4 = 400 = just about roi buy it anyway.
