That is funny. It looks like 2021 will see a huge diff jump.

MY guess is someone is building a 100 megawatt solar farm combined with wind.

So deployment may take until May-June-July

lets pretend it is a correct spec.

if it does a usable 50 megawatts 24/7/365 that would be

3.3kwatts x 15 =      50 kwatts
3.3kwatts x 150 =    500kwatts
3.3kwatts x 1500 =  5megawatts
3.3kwatts x 15000 = 50 megawatts

so 15,000 s19 pros = 1650000 th or 1650ph or 1.65eh

if you got a good deal on the gear 2000 x 15000 = 30,000,000 million
if you got a bad deal on the gear 3000 x 15000 = 45 million.

the power plant I describe would be 150 million to build

so under 200 million with maintenance 200 million gets you 20+ years of power and the gear.

So I am thinking this is getting done in multiple places. It just takes time to happen.

once again if all fails get a 16gb usb stick and download from

https://simplemining.net/

this is the download link

https://simplemining.net/page/download

some mobos are fuck you

you could have 3 of the exact same mobos

with the exact same parts in every way

and all programmed exactly the same

and 1 of them will only do 5 of 6 or 4 of 6 cards.

I can help you try to do simple mining if everything you do fails.


I have about 22 rigs with 16 on simple mining and 6 on windows 10

BTW you are using windows 10 correct?

Nice thread. Just saw this image on wo thread.

the top 5 holdings = 7.457 trillion

the new 5 holding =2.977 trillion

then btc = 464 billion

to think a 10% shift from the top ten to BTC will or won't happen
Is simple.

Pretend it does and it takes the next 3 years to do so.

that would be 745.7 billion and BTC cap would grow to 1209.7

roughly 2.6x todays price of 25k or 65k

Seems easy to do.

This month Norway added 2 usd worth of BTC for each citizen  to Norway's retirement plan.  About 2 x 5 million = 10 million dollars.

But think what happens if the 450 million European Union adds a 1% vat and use it to buy BTC that would be vast numbers.

I can see a huge money shift to BTC for the next 2-4 years.  If the world wraps BTC as a driving force to make new solar and new wind plants. Along with future retirement money as a bundle.

Yeah   just real long term growth.

Running out of coins to mine has a temp fix. Just empty the old untouched accounts. Use them to be mined as second chance coins.

Many countries do this with old bank accounts they call them abandoned.

I think 3 million untouched coins could recirculate.

So in 2028 we are down to 1.12 per block
in 2032 we are down to  .56 btc per block
in 2036 we are down to .28 btc per block
in 2040 we are down to .14 btc per block
in 2044 we are down to .07 btc per block
in 2048 we are down to .035 btc per block  grab the 40 year old idle coins add to mining
in 2052 we stay the same at 0.035
in 2056 "
in 2060 "

makes coins last a long time. does not change the 21 million count.

Do rdluffy ideas

and are you using windows. if so get a usb stick and try simplemining if his ideas don't work

30001 by DEC 31 or  Jan 1

lets see how this guess does.

Cause I get the 5700's in under 1 week.  and have 45 days to return them.

Which means I mine when prices are good. And I can return cards if there is a huge crash.

Well we cracked 25k on Christmas Day (eastern standard time)

and we are - diff. of -.05 %


it is actually getting a little bit too good to be true.
But WTF let us enjoy it.

Wow that was a good guess on my part. 25025

Now was this pretty good pick for Christmas or what.


By the way what was the exact number over 25000.


 We have 1 hour and 11 minutes to go before Christmas ends here in NJ.

I would like to see one more run up to and ending at my 25025  68 minutes left.


Damn I picked a good year to come back to this thread.

you tube video above

below older setup


here is the 3080 running on the other test rig. I did this first before the video was shot.
281 watts to do 94 mh but the psu is bronze and that counts whole mobo



same evga 3080 and same fan as the video

here is a video it is not click bait as I do not use any sponsors

this is a two card 3080 and 3060ti with extra 3080 cooling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji4k3iJgIho

154mh and 400 watts maybe 405 watts

nice this is very nice streak

the top  11 has never been 11 days in a row until the set above.

 true or false ?

note all data is from the chart in this post

I find the 11 days  in a row all making the top 11 very cool.

With luck we can stretch this a lot further.


We have six days left

we may knock out this the last 4 digit number 100  2019-07-09   9,990

and we may knock out this  10  2017-12-17  2,208,232 the last top ten number for any of the exchanges not from December 2020

You got it.

Norway has started this by buying 2 usd worth of btc for all of its citizens for retirement purpose.

So what happens if many countries copy this. They simply absorbed btc into central banks.

yes and i would also recuse my alt from becoming a dt.

i am trying to be able to reward  people in

a trust setting it they deserve it.
b + feedback if they deserve it
c both if they desereve  both

when i use my main account to do c this it can raise my + feedback score.

so if i choose to not do c when i think a member deserves c he or she gets less then they should.

I am trying to see if this idea i posted here will allow people to get both a + feedback and put on my trust list. some people deserve this.

so if this idea works i will stick with it. and not worry about padding my accounts.

I have one on my test rig

I will post screen shots of simple miner in a bit

core 100
memory 1400
power 220
temp 65
fan 71

Yeah we could swing an ant box with 15ph and we would be done with our power.

Across the street in the second smaller building we could do 200 gpus.

At that point we would be done.

Sad that 15ph for btc and 18gh for eth is going to be too small.

In a year or 2 we simply may not have any gear to buy for our 400-500 kwatts

(max numbers for us)

I am getting older (64 this Jan)
I am not sure I want to build out a 5 megawatt solar build (if investors help with cash).

I can still put in 5 to 6 hours of hard work per day in the mine but after that I get tired.

Covid did not help me much with that. Wife is still doing lung scans almost 12 months since she went to the hospital with it.  She is better, but not there yet.

I spent a lot of time away from mining and working to improve her health.

I may call it quits for growth in 2021 or 2022.

I see the point. I lowered my + feedback from 83 to 59 on the main account by changing my level from 4 to 2.

When and if trusting the alt affects my rating I would be willing to pull that trust.

I did an escrow deal and will be + feedback for the buyer and seller given from my alt account.

wndsnb has used me more then once for escrows and has been a good seller.
abeandund used my escrow service as a buyer.

I gave him a +feedback. All using my alt.

Oh boy I have to run out and sell off all my ripple.

Not.

As I don’t have ripple.

They have a lot of lawyers and guns bro.

So they do as they please.
