Yeah funny choice for me. Do I buy another card. even the 5500xt is decent as they are cheap and don't use power.
I have 95 usd to spend on amazon.

Good morning Bitcoinland. Still going sideways, but at least it's over $13k... currently $13155USD/$17354CAD (Bitcoinaverage). Okay Bitcoin. That's enough consolidation for now. It's time to start moving up. Go Bitcoin go. make your own...
4. sat-sucker 5. node-puller 6. Wall-breaker 7. merit whoreWell done! ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Would love to see it stay at 12,800 to 13,400 up to and past the Nov 3 USA election. Then moonshot.

I want to perticipate buying bitcoin from paypal but Paypal account still doesn't showing any buying option from any other country but u.s. Although we can't withdraw btc from their website but can trade there & possible to make huge profit through that .but if anyone want to hodl btc in their wallet then Paypal is not correct option for them
actually it is really good for me to do a hodl. If all I ever do is buy and hodl for 15 months or what ever when I do sell it would be really simple to figure taxes. ie spend 1000 usd over 1 year hodl 3 ,5,10,15 years. and cash. simple easy to do on my usa tax return.

So the new question is 13k the next resistance zone?
I for one would like to see price float at 12800-13400 for a month or more basically ignore the USA election and be on its own thing. Independent so to speak In the summer of 2019 we surged to nearly 15k And then went down below 10k again. Reason? Chinese have pulled a mighty scam that accepted Bitcoin. The point is, we should clearly understand the reasons for the current rally – if it can be called rally in the first place. I think the present uptrend is thanks to the upcoming US presidential elections. After we are past them, it may be time for a strong and powerful correction. But there can be other factors at play here, of course no we did not surge to nearly 15k we surged to nearly 14k. but a crash and burn can always happen. For lots of reasons.

while i dont see 100k in 2021.
right now today if we matched 2017 we need to be at 78k.
this is base on mining profit.
so I think we could get to 78k by nov 2021.
for me i need 26-30k to be doing well with my mining farm.
IMHO, I see BTC being a bit over or around $20k at the end of 2021. (I can't believe I'm saying only, when I got into BTC Sept 18th, 2013 it was $150). Anyway, my reasoning is as follows (1) blowback and FUD from the powerful/banker/and vested interests that will try to distract and such on BTC/Crypto...there is always a 'backlash' in that area (2) Times are tough and they may get worse..thus some will 'reasonably' take some money out of the long term HODL wallets for real-life issues, again, IMHO. Also, quite frankly if you are a 'huge' whale even taking 5% off your hoard at $20k would be tempting...not a big deal if you just did so, but if everyone else thinks the same due to the sucky economic times I expect in 2021 it all adds up. (3) Human nature for the long term HODL'ers to take some profits....and I think $20k for a long term Hodl'er with more BTC than myself will be 'convinced' to sell some in the coming recession and bad economic times...especially as a hedge, and if he is older than say 55 years old, or so. Again, the economy gets sketchy what else can you move 24/7 ..as a hedge against, what I expect is a 'sucky' year on the whole economically for the world, in 2021. (now, am I gonna get beat up on WO for this post!) ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Anyway, if I am right on my prediction of dismalness...that is not so bad ..if the 100k in 2021 comes to pass I'll take the fall on this post then) ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Sketchy...what else can you sell/move but BTC/Crypto 24/7 on a whim of you against the world/universe if 2021 sucks as bad as I suspect. Brad That's it, Searing turned "bearish". It's all over now, get your ready bags packed, fits hitting the shan! Get your tissues, whole lot of tears are coming. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.postimg.cc%2FJHWQ0XMm%2Ftenor.gif&t=663&c=WRd-kZ7pvnn2tg) Seems that you have NOT been tuning into the WO frequently enough, PoolMinor. In essence, Searing has always been a glass half full kind of guy who has been more than willing to spout out pessimistic views while apparently mostly HODLing through the vast majority of it, while complaining the whole time. There are worse kinds of bear/bulls or whatever might be the proper label for such a HODLer, as the constantly fearing Searing. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) searing had a lot of btc in dec 2017. I could not convince him to sell even 1 coin. 18000 or 19000 or 18000 And he ended up selling a lot at 3900. This time around I think he may sell some at 18.

Asking for a friend...
If a girl is into you and you realize that this is because of your bitcoin, then she is not a "gold digger", but what?
first couple of choices:
1. "just being smart" 2. bitcoin "post-miner" (or a "miner of bitcoin miner") 3. hodl-hodler
make your own...
4. sat-sucker 5. node-puller 6. Wall-breaker 7. merit whore lol re 4-5, did not get 6,7...an explanation not needed, though. while 4 and 5 are sexist they are funny as hell. If I were 25 with a few hundred btc I would want 1 of each. And play non- binary games all day and all night.

okay follow this line of thought . how to make PayPal look like a great place to buy and hodl btc.
the answer is have a few 'criminal' countries
such as : Iran North Korea Syria
fully legitimize BTC
Then PayPal hodlings are delcared legit and allowed
While private wallets are a no no.
So once again this means:
a} BTC is or has been acknowledged for what it can be. b} diversity in your BTC holdings = smart. c} multiple core wallets = cool d} hardware wallet = cool e} coinbase = better then yesterday f} paypal = better then yesterday g} exchange with no kyc = more risky then yesterday h} exchange with kyc = less risky then yesterday
looks like regulation of your source of BTC is coming for 2021.
Just saying prepare for it.
I listed 8 of many ways to hold or spend btc understand them as the ride will be very bumpy the next few years.
Note I used 'quote' criminal countries as that is my government's designation of them not mine.
but I know the usa government so I keep my holdings transparent as I can.

At JayJaunGee When I got into this all back in 2012 I always went with kyc and government disclosure. My reasons for this won't fit non-USA filers And they won't fit many USA filers. But they do fit for me. They will fit for a lot of PayPal users in the correct USA states. Millions for sure. Will I make PayPal sole hodl account for btc? most likely no. but will I make this particular PayPal account solely for hodl? YES I will I have a second very active PayPal account and I could go with BTC in it. It could be a transactional account with lots of ins and outs. But for now I do not need to be any more complex with PayPal then buying 20 or 30 for 40 usd in btc every month or so and holding it. So I reviewed this PayPal account and realized to keep math simple I should keep purchases at round numbers. So I now have spent $100 usd on BTC and my BTC holdings are about 103. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FsBEicGQ.png&t=663&c=1GS08XTZVdTR_Q)

looking at hash rate charts for eth we have gone up up and away since jan 2020 now we are close to 277th in hash if a 4gb card is doing 25mh then 40 of them do 1gh and 40,000 of them do 1th and 4,000,000 of them do 100th I can be convince there are that many 4gb cards mining as I type. so by feb 1 they should be greatly reduced maybe as much as 50th will drop out . 50th is 50,000gh is 50,000,000mh 50,000,000 mh is going to fall off. so 100,000 5700xt add only 5,000,000 mh or 5th 100,000 5600xt add only 4,000,000 mh or 4th 100,000 3080 add only 8.500,000 mh or 8.5th I am think eth diff will not go past 300th in like 6 or 7 months. so we could have stable earnings until spring. yeah maybe 1.10 for 50mh card and take up to 30 cents power cost so 80 cents a card profit on the rx 5700xt looks to be easy enough to stay above for most miners. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FBBK2wRz.png&t=663&c=oJ0DSxA5sc1GsA)

We would need a major price move past 18k to make the s9 have value.
as I speak we are at 12.9k with diff still looking to drop a bit. -5% looks like it may happen.
Latest Block: 654257 (30 minutes ago) Current Pace: 92.5567% (1074 / 1160.37 expected, 86.37 behind) Previous Difficulty: 19298087186262.61 Current Difficulty: 19997335994446.11 Next Difficulty: between 18554829769811 and 18851734847483 Next Difficulty Change: between -7.2135% and -5.7288% Previous Retarget: October 17, 2020 at 11:34 AM (+3.6234%) Next Retarget (earliest): November 1, 2020 at 7:42 AM (in 6d 19h 43m 34s) Next Retarget (latest): November 1, 2020 at 1:36 PM (in 7d 1h 37m 32s) Projected Epoch Length: between 14d 21h 7m 15s and 15d 3h 1m 13s
-7%. and coins at 13k would be nice for mining time will tell.

hmm. 12 bucks dec 2012. went to over 1200 usd nov 2013 factor of 100x 900 bucks jan 2017 went to over 20,000 usd dec 2017 ( am aware that 20k was not on all exchanges). factor of 22.22 x I do not count fork value of shit coins. 3900 bucks march 2020. a factor of 10x gives us 39000

May I ask what is the purpose of this "experiment"? It's a very cool thing that PayPal accepts cryptocurrencies, but why did you choose this wallet to collect Bitcoin? Do you want to prove something by this? I am asking really seriously, because somehow I do not see any greater sense in what you do, of course I do not see also anything wrong with it.
This is a good question. I have to ponder upon the answer. Just off the top, it seems quite clear that you should be able to gain exposure to BTC volatility by holding some or all of your paypal account value in BTC. Let's say that historically, you have a floating paypal balance that bounces around between $200 and $5,000. If you choose to allocate a certain percentage to BTC (whether 5%, 25%, 50%, 90% or some variating percentages that is based on other factors chosen by you), then you could potentially monitor the extent to which there might be advantages/disadvantages in holding some portion of your account value in BTC rather than dollars. Of course, during high BTC UPpity volatility there should be greater benefits to hold larger portions of your account value in BTC rather than dollars, and opposingly, during high DOWNity BTC volatility, there should be greater benefits of holding larger portions of your account value in dollars rather than BTC. For all those saying that this will "increase btc adoption" and "grandmas will buy btc on PayPal", I'm glad you are documenting this. You are actually highlighting and showing how useless this extra step is, versus just buying stuff through PayPal with your CC or bank account directly. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) That does seem to be one of the BIG questions concerning if there happens to be any value in holding some or all of your account value in BTC rather than sticking with dollars ONLY? Also this is one of two PayPal accounts that I have. I can easily do hodl and fully understand cap gain tax for it. Or cap loss carry over. To me it is a no brainer to take advantage of it. Frankly I am too old (63) to deal with hiding my KYC info. So this makes things easy to do. This account can be a simply hodl account for BTC. With my past history of over 10 years with this account and 10's of thousands in USD fiat charges and payments. This is simply another piece of investment for me. And there is a hedge to it. Along with a simple accounting for cap gain/loss. Just buy and don't sell for 2-3-5 years At 63 I don't think in terms of 30 year hodl. But I do think a nice 15 month plan as stated earlier would give me an idea of what this PayPal account can do for me.

*sigh*
Don't use PayPal. Hate them. Boycott them. Whatever. You can use Bitcoin and have nothing to do with them.
But to expect them to be anything other than what they are is foolish. Trusted third parties are security holes etc. I personally barely use PayPal. I have an account because of eBay.
But if you think we live in a world where they are just going to blow away like a dry leaf because they see that Bitcoin is the future of peer to peer finance... well I have a bridge to sell you.
And like it or not Bitcoin does not scale on the base layer and stay a distributed consensus. So if you want to see trustless scaling then maybe you should start working on lnd. And if you don't like lnd then maybe invent another trustless layer 2. Grumping about PatPal is not adding anything. And until there is something better for the masses to use they will use what is available.
sooner or later some payment settlement company would of done it. so it was palpal this time. ive heard the horror stories. but personally ive had zero problems with paypal in like a decade with them. hate me if you want but ill buy some paper corn from paypal. just like i did from robinhood. small amounts of course but gotta try it. realistically though, how would you have preferred this to go down. as you pointed out, corn doesnt scale. layer two is still a mess. and clearinghouses seem the natural answer. a trustless clearinghouse, if such a thing can exist. I have used paypal for 17 years. I had a decent ebay business. I would purchase new apple mac minis and mod them to be sold on ebay. I estimate I did over 1000 sales using ebay and paypal. No major issues. So I have been here since 2012 coins were under 10 bucks. I have read we have to have adoption to mainstream. Well here is the first true mainstream player in on btc lets get more major players....maybe we see 100k Have not we have had a world wide market reset due to covid-19? So why not a world wide adaptation of btc by the major players. Now is the time for them to do it as it is still cheap. 240billion is not that much to wrap into the payment /investment market. I am an old school computer geek I go back to univac and ibm mainframe gear. I go back so far that I used slide rules. my point is not on the transformation of mainframe to pc to cell phone. but on the inability to see what is coming or what is worth while. what the public wants. I thought the ipad was a waste and would never work. and right now I am laying on my bed typing on an ipad mini while watching the world series. So the ipad did well for itself. I see the paypal move as adding ipads into the mix of pcs. a very convenient tool for blogging and a lot more.

How much are they are taking in fees? Can't tell from the screenshots.
I am watching jimmy fallon. but they did mention the amounts. 0.00165030btc. was the 21.32 purchase. 0.00154773btc was the 20.00 purchase. 0.00159934btc was the 20.00 purchase. Didn't know your time zone, so I wasn't sure what the exact BTC price was at the time and thus how much they took out. But I dug into it and apparently: You can expect to pay 2.3% for transactions below $100, 2% for transactions between $100 and $200, 1.8% for transactions between $200 and $1,000 and 1.5% for transactions above $1,000. There's a minimum fee of $0.50 for transactions below $25.
The page also says there will be some spread between buy and sell prices. Fees will be waived until 2021. https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/21/paypal-to-let-you-buy-and-sell-cryptocurrencies-in-the-us/So I guess there are no explicit fees right now, just those implied by the spread. The fees, when they do kick in, don't look bad compared to Coinbase, who would charge 1.49% + $2.99 on each of those purchases. But I do wonder how big the spread is. They can actually put fake BTC in your account if they please however if BTC goes to $20K and everybody wants to cash out they will be on the hook for the difference. Since they aren't some scammy bucket shop Forex broker they would need to deal with regulators. So most likely they hedge their exposure somehow. Even with the futures markets.
Paxos has a state trust charter and Paypal was just granted a conditional BitLicense. I'm pretty sure (although not 100% positive) they need to fully back all digital assets. I think it is true as they are restricting people and putting them on waiting lists to buy.

logged into my pp account for 1st time in like 2 years... Good news... had a shitload of points that I cashed out. (my default cc I use for all purchases that is set on auto monthly payoff) Forgot about that, lol.... Hey now!... I'll just turn that cash into bitcoin!! bad news.... gotta wait 2 weeks?? wtf? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FuvNPp5m.png&t=663&c=F9kWP6aoMT5rVQ) I am highly active with paypal. I guess it was why I was able to do it so easily. Would be nice to know how many were stalled like you were.

Also what about solo vs pool mining for an operation of say 50-100 units l3+? would solo mining make sense there or pool would be the way to go??
let me check math. 100 l3+ = about 50gh about 1.32 coins a day on vabtc.com guaranteed daily payout if you go solo and do it correctly you could hit a block every 9-10 days with standard luck bad luck you can go as much as 90-100 days. I personally would say do viabtc for a month collect the guaranteed coins . The consider a solo shot. 30 days on viabtc.com should earn close to 40 ltc If you want to try solo for 10 days and hope for 2 blocks vs 0 or 1 you will have coins in the bank.

The new release of big Navi will be very interesting.
Does anybody know of a board that will support the new Ryzen CPUs and has enough slots for at least 6 GPUs? Would be a nice thing to build a rig that can mine Monero on CPU and other coins on GPU very efficiently.
I am still using my Polaris rigs (unfortunately 60% 8GB cards) and will mine till it is not feasible anymore. I got most 4GB cards for like $50 in bulk when mining was super unprofitable for most - so even if I can sell them for the same price or slightly less at the end of the year - they were basically free. I have free electricity but will loose that some time early next year - so then I will have to get rid of all inefficient cards anyway. I hope for a run in crypto in the next couple of months and then selling even 4GB cards will be easier (hopefully), since miners will buy out all other cards and gamers, that a re looking for a cheap gaming card, will be willing to buy a 4GB Polaris.
no cant find it. i have been able to do four cards on threadripper boards. but on a lot of different 3900 x570 boards three cards are shaky
