Legit question.

I do any rank that has a good post.

Here is a newbie I did today

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246518.0


I gave him enough to be a junior member as I am hoping that it will promote mining that specific coin and that his program is as good as it seems.

I am mining with a few cards on that coin even though I mostly mine BTC directly with asics I do mine alt coins.

If you look at my signature you see I like alts and BTC.  So I try to promote ASICs resistant alts.

you and magic. should just run a modded s9 at ck pool. low cost and you still have a shot.

Okay you want a modified s9.  It is cheap and can be quiet. It make money with free power.  Not much money but money none the less.

At op why say this is the greed phase >

If coins are 12000 on may 19 that will be the greed phase

not 10000 before the ½ ing.

BTW

 tell why you are wrong and I am right to use 12000 1 week after the ½ ing



and I will tell you why I am wrong and you are right to use 10,000 before the ½ ing

Mining btc directly with a laptop is using a teaspoon to dig about one dozen six foot deep graves for full size coffins.

You can do it but it takes far too long.

Well miners would love 16000 and settle for 11000

Four fans at 2 amps each and 12 volts = 8 x 12 or 96 watts

controller is about 10 watts so 96 + 10 = 106. which is just about equal to your  110 watt difference.

my guess is the asic firmware at 2360 watts is hash boards only.

@coxye. my bad t17+ is still bad 2 of three boards are good.

@vr4dude316

it is most likely a software glitch.  you should always check pool rates on the miner gui and on the pool.

it would be nice if the pool gets those high readings like the miner gui shows.

too bad my guess is you rushed in too soon.

but I am often wrong.

I will do all of f2pool for 2017 and all of antpool for 2017 so far very small sample with one really slow one 46 seconds and 1 really fast one 4 secs   the rest clustered in the middle so to speak.

That would make sense as "normal"

Price needs to go over 12,000 to prevent a drop in hash. we are at 9800   which is 4900 which means strong drop in hash.

https://bitcoinblockhalf.com/   4 days and 2 hours.

Thank you. I will do some checking over the next few days I think I can work with this.

While it is not likely any and all wallets are hackable.

It would be incredible to do it. But generate a correct private key import to your wallet and the address is accessible .

No one has conclusively done this on a cost offline wallet and shown proof they did. But it could happen one day.

depends. coins are pushing 9800. if they crest 10,000 and keep moving to 13k range no.

thanks

okay you have 6000 and want miners.

i assume you have cheap power

and that mining will make money for you.

so you need gear to not break.

all bitmain gear ⚙️ has batch variance.

my first t17+ sucked.
my second t17 + ordered two months later is great.

my t17e were on same order both work fine but are power hogs.

i ordered all my s17pro at same time. cause they allowed paypal. not much risk if they suck.

my advice is based on splitting risk.

note I can be wrong. my guess is based on one hundred orders from winter 2013 to april 2020.

and weight is placed from 2-2-2019 to 5-1-2020.

wait till may 13th.

yeah it got cold here in NJ.

the fans landed on the west coast yesterday maybe I get them by monday.

In theory a ship date for buyers could be friday the 15th.

i will have five or six first batch.

second batch will be five more.

goal is to sell maybe 20 .

Okay you have 6k correct?

and you have some coupons.

order 1 t17 +
order 1 s17e

wait until  May 13th to buy again

basically  buying  six of the t17+ or 6 of the s17e is not the right move as you could get a bad batch.

we are before the ½ ing and things are going to be set into motion very soon.

If you really want to order before the ½ ing due to your coupons  maybe they expire if coins go to 10k

then order 3 t17+
and order  3 s17e

my 2019-2020 order record from bitmain is

1 x s15 ---------------------works fully at or above spec
1 x t15 ---------------------- "
2 x t17 ---------------------- "
1x s17  ---------------------- "
15 x s17 pro ---------------- "
2 x 17e   -------------------- works full but uses power power then spec
2 x 17+  -------------------- 5 good boards 1 board has issues
4 x s9k ---------------------- need to be booted often but hash at spec and use power at spec.


my power is 218-228 volts very steady since June 2019  we did have an issue before June we would drop to 190 volts gear would drop out but this is not the gears fault

my air cooling is great.  lots of airflow more then I need.


my microbt what's miner record 2018-2019

10 m10's   ----- 1 died 7 fully spec 1 hashes at 27 not 31 1 has a dead board
2   m20s    ----- 1 underhashes at 38th  other is great at 68th I had to purchase 1 psu
1   m21s   ------ works fine.

so for me since late 2018 up to now my ant miner gear has been pretty good.

yep. this is the curse of a lower hash pool.

mmpool.org.  has been mining for 23,000 hours since its last block which is almost 1,000 days
bitminer.com is over 268 days.

    1ph of hash right now takes about 790.0 days to grab a block
  10ph of hash "         "    "        "       79.0 days to grab a block
100ph of hash  "       "     "        "         7.9 days to grab a block

I have this psu
