No lotto wins for me today.  Did anybody here score a card in the shuffle?

I got selected for the EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 ULTRA GAMING.

Sorry to hear about your experience Phil.  So it seems we have to jump on it as soon as we are notified we are winners as well.

Here is a reddit thread this has been happening often to others.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Newegg/comments/l2dnqt/winning_newegg_shuffle_does_not_guarantee_being/


I am assuming you got your order in for the gear.


Oh and as a sidebar they just plowed me back in> Angry

good news is one doge transaction went through

https://doge4.trezor.io/tx/92b72c72759066ecb754a3ebca7abb0e2ffbb6f62afd405205af7a1db1804aeb

waiting on this one

https://doge4.trezor.io/tx/9fc2c63fc479d6d64233187a0378711544981291904620b1d23c0fc773c7061f

and decided to try one with a high fee


https://doge4.trezor.io/tx/f9e05e5437de30549cd64e1a5bac922e55bfa8efd2e126e62af1ae5ab765e064



I know enough to say the trezor doge blockchain is having an issue connecting to the official doge block chain

and of course in true corporate speak they blame the official chain.

I did really well on the doge, but I would offload more if they let me.

400,000 in my wallet and 34,900 floating in cyberspace they should be in this address

https://dogechain.info/address/D7uLQDTQRwy7yNigWaLx8a4rQgExeZajbr . but the official chain is not synching with the trezor chain.


Is there no way to export your wallet from trezor (or ledger, etc)?  Seems like for that amount of money I would rather send it from a wallet on my computer.  Like how would you access your funds if the company closed?

This is a good question I have been using trezor for years.

I have 3 of them

gray
white
black

and I use them to organize multiple wallets with multiple partners.

When doge mooned on the 28th of jan I was not prepped.

My binance.us account only allowed 5000 usd withdrawal in a day.  So I did  not want to send all 700,000 doge as it would of been 2 x 700,000 = 14k and I was not sure I could get approved for withdrawal over 5000 I had tried a few times the last 2 months and had issues with photo acceptance.

Yeah in theory I could have sold these 700,000 for as high as 56k.  But a few things were going against it happening that way.

I did sell 450,000 and get 18k
I had sold 300,000 on the early Jan rally  and got 5k so I got 23k out of a 2500 investment with 250,000 coins not cashed worth 7500.
To think things like:

 I should have fixed my binance.us account to handle bigger money.
I should have hodl the whole million coins on binance with 500,000 at 7 cents and 500,000 at 8 cents giving me  75k score is silly.
I could have  done that and binance gets hacked.
I could of done that, but set sells at 2 cents and 3 cents.  this would be 25k and zero coins left

who would think that setting the million at 2 and 3 cents would have been dumb.




It does show me
I  now need to evaluate My coin storage better.

I did set up binance.us fully
I have coinbase setup fully.

So cashing large money is no longer an issue.

I am debating what rig to do LTC, BTC, DOGE wallets on.

I think I will pull a 3060ti off 1 rig move it to my 1 card 3090 rig.

I then will use that rig to run 3 core wallets.

I have a 1tb nvme.2 ssd in it and 64gb Ram so it will download wallets fast.

It already has an unused synched BTC wallet.

I will copy the nvme.2 ssd to 2 back ups and het this set up over the next few days.

Payback of about 7 months.. gonna try and pick a couple up!

Yeah as I type we are up to 9.62 cents a mh

No it shares the same algorithm  as btc thus is not needed or safe since it is subject to a 51% attack every day of its life.

i give 10 merits if one can name me a working blockchain product. other than bitcoin. other than any ETH based erc20 scams or defi scams. i mean in the real world. it has been 12 years since the bitcoin white paper and more than 5 (how many exactly?) years that the "blockchain-not-bitcoin" narrative gets spun.

it took facebook 4 years to reach 1 billion customers.

it took the "blockchain industry" 4 years to develop zero products and therefore zero customers.

and no, BAT token does not count. no blockchain necessary there.

blockchain my ass.

nice title for a book.



LTC and Doge

both are asic backed pow coins purchased and sold.

https://www.binance.us/en/trade/DOGE_USDT
https://www.binance.us/en/trade/LTC_USD

https://www.coinbase.com/price



Yes they are kind of a knock off of BTC but they serve a purpose.
They are decentralized and backed by robust asic net work

All pos are a joke
eth is a joke what happens if the 'boss' dies eth will be a mess.

BTW  in 2021 I made more money on Doge during its runup than I made in the prior six months.

I had 1,000,000 doge Aquired via merge mining LTC and Doge.  I mined 260,000 doge from dec 2017 to Jan 2021. I decide I could easily convert some of the ltc to doge so I sold the ltc for usdt and  I purchased the doge with usdt.  by jan 1 this year I had 1,000,000 doge.

I sold 300,000 for 5100usd  early runup in early jan.

I sold 450,000 for 18000 usd from Jan 28 to Feb 2.

So I have 23100 usd from about a 2500 usd investment or a 20600 profit.  And I still have 250,000 doge .

So in my book both doge and ltc qualify for your merit give away.

Not many other coins that I can think of off hand. Maybe no other coins.

Certainly no coin wrapped in defi with eth. As I said what happens to eth if the sole leader dies.

And why don't you use raisers and mining farm cases to install video cards at a distance of 15 centimeters from each other?
With this arrangement, it is better to use reference video cards, and you have non-reference video cards on the video.
For such an arrangement of video cards, you will have to use an increased fan speed


Did you see the temps. All are good.

This gear will be leaving my home in April and going into a large warehouse with a ton of fans. 18000 cfm out of the mining room and 19000 com into the room.

Risers are simply a poor choice that many go for thinking they are good.

My rigs run for years with zero issues. Trouble shooting these rigs is basically instant (under 5 minutes)


Try finding a bad riser on a 13 card rig that crashes the rig intermittently. 1 usb cable out of the 13 is bad and it does it on and off.

you lost the hash of 13 cards on and off till you find the problem.
11246  Economy / Speculation / Re: At long term — Could 1 sat equals 1 USD? on: February 03, 2021, 02:34:31 PM
This has been talked about for years and it was always the same answer by almost everyone. It is not "impossible" for bitcoin to be there, it is totally doable and I would definitely assume the price would be there eventually one day, maybe 20 years later, maybe 30 but it will be there one day. However at the current levels, we are not looking at anything remotely that way, it is impossible for price to be there anytime soon.

The reason why people ask these questions is the fact that the amount of satoshis they have is very little, maybe few thousand, maybe tens of thousands but that's about it, it is always the people we do not have over 1+ bitcoin, that means they hope that if one day 1 satoshi equals 1 dollars, then they could get rich and that is how they could profit from it, and they know as long as bitcoin is under 200-300k that means even if it goes up to 200k, they are not going to be rich.

This is pretty accurate.

If you tag inflation into the picture

 I think in 10 years or so the dollar will be worth 50 cents.  btc will at worst match inflation so 37k becomes 74k
 I think in 20 years or so the dollar will be worth 25 cents.  btc will at worst match inflation so 74k becomes 148k

the world wealth in dollar terms will be

 300-400    trillion now           btc is .227% .681trillion/300 trillion
 

so if btc can gain to 1% of the world worth  in  a month it becomes  4.4 x bigger or 2.996 trillion or 161,128 a coin even if that happens and it goes 2x in ten years for inflation it is 322256 usd in 2031. and 644512 usd in 2041


I do think it can grow to 1% or the world wealth over the next 2-3 years

But my earlier posts show that it needs to growth to 50% of the world wealth by 2041 and inflation of 4x from now until then to reach 23 cents a sat.

I would guess it will never reach 5% of the worlds wealth but lets look at gold

it is 7.3 to 10 trillion so 10/300 = 3.3% high number 7.3/400 1.825% low number.

if btc      is .227% of the worlds wealth
and gold is 3.3% of the worlds wealth

then the question becomes can btc reach 3.3% of the worlds wealth in 20 years I would say yes it can.

and if the world is worth 1200 trillion in 2041 and btc is 3.3% of the worlds wealth  then btc = 39.6 trillion or 39,600,000,000,000/19500000 = 2,030,769


so the high number I get for 2041 is 2,030,769 a coin  which is  2 cents a sat.

Yeah look at these cards.
Notice  I Keep them all very cool



What type of cooling method are you using ? That's some RTX3080 I guess right? How did you manage to keep the temp lower under 50°C that's really awesome, many people are complaining about the heat from RTX3080 and RTX3090 that was what discouraged me from buying the cards, people and their claims, sigh!


open card rigs = key and big time spacing.

These are not click bait as I do not do advertisement
These are Onda boards edit a clone of Onda dp1800 model

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qtw5kw5FKpI

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMiByCbUpTY


Good setup mate, hope you don't mind me asking how much it costs to buy that type of motherboard you are using? I used to see those motherboard on aliexpress but I never thought they worked this good for mining, now that I see it in video makes me want to get one

I purchased 9 boards for 631 usd including shipping.  
They came on a slow boat from China 37 days to ship.

They are not ONDA dp1800 boards they are a clone. edit

But they are a very good deal.
Once I got them I ordered 9 more and the guy said no. orders until after the Chinese New Years.

Ie feb 20 or so.

These boards do everything the onda dp1800 does.

2 differences are cpu cooler is different
the boot ringer is very loud.

I knew they were clones so I wanted to wait till I got the 9 before I ordered 9 more.
USA still has trump tax on China so I did not order 18 on the first shot.

I like these you can mount 3 cards with perfect spacing and use a 750 or 850 watt psu.

if you use smos a 2gb stick of ram works.

I have 1 board using 2gb stick of ram
I have 1 board using 4gb stick of ram
I have 1 board using 8gb stick of ram

If you do a 3 card and don't use any add on riser you can cut mounting board shorter.
Six it has 6 slots if you do a three card and alternate you have 3 spare slots.
Lastly since it is a Celeron 3900 cpu if you fit 6 gpus say low power amd 5500 xt  the cpu will struggle a bit.

I usually build 3 long cards and a short one on the end.

Or just 3 cards.

very easy to cool. and cheaper 750 or 850 watt psus work.


More detail on the clone aspect a Chinese clone of gear is common.

You do not want a 50 dollar clone of a 500 dollar item the clone will suck .

but this was 70 dollar clone of a 110 dollar item and so far I see no down sides.
11248  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Should I be worried or not? on: February 03, 2021, 01:42:18 PM
Okay you are mining at nice hash.

They have  Servers

 In California
 In Europe

I think Brazil
and Japan.

So if you are like me in NJ, USA you are not close to any of them.

Some days point to the one in Europe works better than point to the one in California

Right now my nvidia 3090 rig is 9217 good and 74 bad pointed to California 124 to 1 ratio
and my 3 card amd asus rig is  4742 good and 51 bad pointed to California  92 to 1 ratio
and my 4 card mixed amd rig is 24365 good and 251 bad point to California. 97 to 1 ratio

So run you gear a few days and see if  you get closer to 90 good and 1 bad ratio

mine range from 92 to 1 up to 124 to 1

The evga 3090 is 2 days old and maybe is better since it is 1 card vs 3 or 4 cards
It is also on a better mobo with a better cpu a better eth jack
Maybe it is better due to being a nvidia vs an amd.  But all numbers above are good.

If you 78 - 9 continues to 7800-900 it would be 8.6 to 1. which is terrible.  But give it some time to see what it does when you are over 1000 or 2000 shares
11249  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 257 blocks solved! on: February 03, 2021, 12:51:54 PM
First of all, thank you for the valuable information in that thread and of course, thank you for keeping the pool running Smiley!

I am new to crypto currencies and read into the topic for a couple weeks now. For some reasons, I decided to join the game, buy some mining hardware and gamble solo for a block. And yes, I clearly understand this as gambling.

However, it seems hard to find actual (recent) information on solo mining, particularly risks involved.

So my question is:

Assuming I join solo.ckpool.org for solo mining, what risks are still present *except*

- the money I spend in hardware (including breakage)
- the money I spend in power

?

Are there any?

Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you Smiley

You could win a block causing tax problems or people wanting money from you.

I toss some gear here just because I can. https://solo.ckpool.org/users/146UJM5kgzLVUV23CXCf33KQKHckoX1gx3

every once in a while I rent some hash but it is really hard to hit a block now due to high cost of coin.

Ie if you rent at a good fair price 1 coin would give you about a 1 in 6.25 chance

Asking to spend 35,000 USD for a 1 in 6 chance is hard.

my 3090 card is doing 113mh for 1 card
my 3960ti card is doing 60mh for 1 card

453mh makes about 40 a day

in about 110 days they will earn 4000 after power cost.

they already earned 900

they need to earn 4900

I am not looking at altcoins at this point because the dominance is very high above 70%, so the possibility of altcoins not going up is very high.
but from cmc or coingecko I see that some altcoins have also experienced very high increases even though btc domination is very high.
such as eth, doge, ltc, bnb, and others.
doge which has the highest increase in recent days because, elon musk said doge on his twitter account and made a very large fomo.

Doge turned out to be the winning pick.

I have always supported the op and builder of the ltc miner I still have two of them.

And since I hit a pair of blocks of doge about 20,000 doge. I decided to hodl doge.

On Jan 1  2021 I had 1,000,000 doge. mostly because of these two little miners purchased years ago.

I purchased 10gh of l3+ miners and the op gave free firmware that lowers the watts used on L3+ gear saving me a lot of watts since 2018.

of the 1,000,000 doge i had this jan 1 i sold 300000 at 5100 and I sold 450000 at 18000

a grand total of 23000 usd.

I mined about 260000 doge with his gear and the L3+

I converted some of the ltc that the l3+ mined. to get that 1,000,000 doge.

So 23,000 usd and still 250,000 doge coins in hand all sparked by his moonlander then his apollo.

So to say his Btc miner won’t do well is kind of short sighted.

at jstefanop  thank you 🙏

Well the 3090 looks better as we are now getting $0.0933 an mh

so my 112 mh is doing over $10.50 a day brings roi under 200 days.

Eth at 1537 usd.

Eth is pushing 1600
paying about 9 cent an mh at viabtc.

so the 3090 I just hooked up is 113x0.09 = $10.17 a day.  It burns 320 watts  (whole 1 card rig) or 7.68 kwatts make it 8 kwatts.  My winter power cost is 10 cents so 80 cents in power make it $1.17 my card is clearing 10.17-1.17 = $9.00 a day

230 days = 2070 which was what I paid for it.
11259  Other / Meta / Re: Decline of Marketplace activity/trading on: February 02, 2021, 08:18:21 PM
Well the computer/mining goods section no longer has much action for a lot of reasons.

Gpus are unobtainable everywhere unless you over pay by a lot.

So when I listed a new sealed quality gpu at a 100 usd markup.
600 vs 500 no one wanted it.
This could be a sign of a larger issue with the availability of GPU equipment versus demand.
...

That would be nice to think. But the card is listing from 829 to 1129 on ebay.

A new sealed one with an invoice for six hundred should be jumped on. It was not.
Basically the buyers don’t come to the site like they used to do.

I actually thought I was being generous with the offer I made.

As I said I just mined with it for the last 20 days and have earned back 4 a day.

It will be paid off in around 105 days. Maybe I will sell it then.

I did but look at this:

Chat Transcript
Newegg Support Chat on 2/01/2021:

Philip 04:23 PM PT I do not understand what happened to the combo it is not in my cart

Philip 04:24 PM PT The email came 44 minutes ago. I have more than 2 hours before time is up.

Ron B. 04:25 PM PT Hi Philip I am sorry to inform you the combo has run out of stock, the shuffle has choose amount of people to purchase the combo, but it is not a guarantee that everyone gets one.

Philip 04:26 PM PT That is not what the email says. it say I have until 7pm pt time it does not mention the stock can run out.

Philip 04:26 PM PT So do you have any 3000 series cards

Philip 04:28 PM PT You should say in the email that the items can run out. I am on east coast and had 20 inches of snow today. I figure I had until 7 pm pt time to buy the items. I would have waited for the email and not dug myself out.

Philip 04:28 PM I can't find anyplace that says the shuffle runs out of stock before the time limits you said in the email

Ron B. 04:29 PM PT I am deeply sorry about this. I am afraid all combos are sold out by now, this is what happened last time.

Philip 04:29 PM PT The email say you must check out before the buying window ends. Hey this is simply wrong.

Philip 04:31 PM PT You really need to write the promo properly . I am not going to be very happy here. I am a 10 year play custom that buys 1000's of dollars in gear every year.


Philip 04:32 PM PT If you wrote proper emails they would state you may run out of stock. I want to see a link that says you can say you sold out.
Philip 04:33 PM PT I know that the advertisement says you don't have to worry about this happening. It make the entire program look like a lie. you look terrible here

Philip 04:33 PM PT Newegg not you sorry abut that.

**Ron B.**04:34 PM PT No I understand, we had this situation last time and I reported it in but it seems they haven't been able to fix it yet, I am truly sorry about this.

Philip 04:34 PM PT I did not need the psu I picked the combo hoping I would win and I did. And now oh we ran out of gear.

Philip 04:34 PM PT Look it is wrong to do this. Is not there any way you can fix it?

Philip 04:35 PM PT What is the sense of running a promo and then saying snag no gpu for you.

Ron B. 04:36 PM PT I am sorry but there isn't anything I can do about the inventory.

Philip 04:37 PM PT Yes you can. I am certain you have a card or two laying around. You already said it was not corrected even though you reported it. So newegg looks terrible here.

Philip 04:39 PM PT I can't believe in all your warehouses every 3060t,i 3070, 3080 is gone. I also and really annoyed that newegg did at least twice to me and some one else.

Philip 04:39 PM PT Even with you reporting the problem.

Philip 04:39 PM PT IS not there a manager or a higher up.

Ron B. 04:41 PM PT LOL our manager can manage agents but they are not in charge of inventories. We are not even to shop on the site, so hidden GPUs is just xD. You think too much of us.

Philip 04:42 PM PT Well Too bad. thank you for your time.
