Hello. I am doing a thesis on Bitcoin, but I did not actually have any action related to BTC other than buying and selling BTC on the stock exchange a few times. There are some technical points I am stuck with, I search for answers for hours every day, but I cannot find an answer. I would be very glad if the friends who know can help, thanks in advance.

...

7-)Due to the halving practice, BTC mining rewards are halved every 210,000. Production is made by decreasing 50 BTC, 25 BTC, 12.5 BTC, 6.25 BTC. But when the checks are done, it is seen that 21 million BTC will never be produced, I have made many checks related to this, but even if there are very small fractions, it never reaches 21 million, and this is called the Zeno Paradox.  

For example;

   FEE (btc)           BLOCK                  YEAR         Produced BTC
   50                   210000                   2012          10.500.000,0000000000000

As a comment line in the code file named “amount.h” in this open source code on the site that publishes the open source codes of Bitcoins named Github.com, “Note that this constant is * not * the total money supply, which in Bitcoin currently happens to be less than 21,000,000 BTC for various reasons, but rather a sanity check ”.

Thank you very much for your help.

hey guys,

I´m using phoenixminer on my win10 gaming machine to mine with my 3060 when I dont game. Is it possible to adjust ONE core clock via msi afterburner or phoenixminer command line?

every time I use my pc while it´s mining and browse some sites or check mails, my clock goes up and down and if I´m done I have totally different clocks. most time, when I start mining after reboot it´s 1200 mhz and 57 mhash. but then it´s 1500 mhz and hashrate drops to 54 or 53. sometimes I have 1830 which is maximum.....tdp is always 50 %, but clock goes up and down and mhash too
if I restart the miner it sometimes helps....but I get different clocks every time...it´s lottery to get 57 mhash...any idea?


with my old 2070s that was no problem at all...you could do some work and if you´re done the miner goes up to the maximum hashrate automatically.

So in short everyone thinks that one should start using lightening network rather than using btc itself.
It's like using alternative for your stuff.

No issues, since we are in the cypto space and it has already given us more than enough in terms of value, returns or money making stuff at it's best one can tolerate that much of struggle. Lolz.

But would have been better if fees were in control. Like the traditional banking system.

I always look at ETH or any altcoin vs bitcon price, never USD.  eth buy pressure may go crazy if the incentive is there (defi shenanigans).  Im happy mining ETH but if bitcoin pumps more and eth price goes from 0.028 to 0.018 say then youve lost a lot of potential bitcoin even if eth usd price goes up.  GPUs are still nowhere to be found where i'm at (3080, 3060ti, 6800, 5700xt) at msrp or close.  Miners are buying them from scalpers at any price.  Please never buy from scalpers.  1- they mine with the gpus and then repackage the box as new of course and 2-if something is wrong you have to RMA instead of store return.  I'm happy i'm at max capacity and the mine makes a lot more than my yearly salary as of current profitability...  let the insanity return to bitcoin for a little while at least please

edit: futures are interesting.  big miners will sell eth futures to hedge future mining profits.  will we see ETF's based on ETH futures ?  That would bring a lot of retail money in and it will pump.

Mine is much too visible.

I suspect the halvings will lose significance as we go on, this being the last one to have a macroscopic impact.

OK....according to the article below (link) the following below really caught my attention.

https://www.investopedia.com/grayscale-trust-gbtc-is-key-to-bitcoin-price-jpmorgan-5093550

quote:

JPMorgan's strategists write that the inflows into GBTC "are too big to allow any position unwinding by momentum traders to create sustained negative price dynamics." In other words, investor enthusiasm for GBTC shares is a determinant of Bitcoin's price trajectory, and other Bitcoin traders do not possess sufficient market share or Bitcoin holdings to influence a correction in the cryptocurrency’s price.

unquote.

OK...I get it, but one wonders how much they are gonna push this price pump of Bitcoin until that 'burp' and are FULL! Or hell, is GrayScale just 'ahead of the curve'

as they have been all year, and simply ahead of another FOMO/ATH run of other investment giants also waiting to cannonball into the Bitcoin pool?

So the question becomes, is this gonna be another run up to around $50K Bitcoin into 2021 as everyone piles in? Or is this simply the top now due to 'mainly'

ONE buyer of FOMO in mass: ie GrayScale Trust?

Well, what do you think, how far will GrayScale Trust go on all this, and/or will other investment giants jump in as well?

Consider taking the poll here.

i actually came around the time when Monero was first introduced to the market. (After the whole bytecoin scandal) but i've been focused on XMR because i think Tari is going to be a huge advantage , and also because i think (Just an opinion) that Monero is what Satoshi would have wanted from BTC. Cheers Jimbo.




Don't make me get diarrhea now.

30k is possible today guys... 

Sideways at 27 is more possible...

I'm going to repeat this hehe

1eth = 1gpu..almost a 3080 a piece, if you hodl for a bit longer, it can be a 3080ti or a 3090.

so upgrade your gpus wisely folks  ...aaaand do not fill your precious space with low hashing cards hehe

1. Approximately 57 percent of all children in the United States are living in homes that are either considered to be either “low income” or impoverished.

4. The average young American will spend 10,000 hours playing video games before the age of 21.

11. Children in the United States are three times more likely to be prescribed antidepressants than children in Europe are.
12. The United States leads the world in eating disorder deaths.
13. The average American drinks more than 600 sodas every single year. That is by far the most in the world.

16. There are more school shootings in America than anywhere else in the world.
17. The United States has the highest divorce rate on the globe by a wide margin. This is ripping millions of families with children to shreds.
18. Without solid family units, more kids than ever are joining gangs. Today, there are approximately 1.4 million gang members living inside the United States. That number has risen by 40 percent just since 2009. 19. There are more than 3 million reports of child abuse in the United States every single year.
20. If you can believe it, an average of five children die as a result of child abuse in the United States every single day.

and i have not been able to source a psu for mine.
