Since I had a dozen packages of miners arrive in my home during Nov,Dec,Jan all shipped in under 3 days from China we may have been early victims of the disease.

you can not catch coronavirus (or any other virus) for that matter from a package. viruses don't last that long on surfaces, specially surface of a package.
of course it is possible that the person who handed you the package had the virus and had deposited some of their virus on the package exactly right before they handed you the packages.


this is mis-information

20 to 24 hours on cardboard

2 to 3 days on hard surfaces such as steel or plastic.

https://news.yahoo.com/coronavirus-safe-receiving-delivery-packages-141513234.html

...A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine tested how long the coronavirus can last on different types of surfaces within a laboratory.

The study concluded that the virus “can remain viable” on copper for up to four hours, on cardboard for up to 24 hours and on plastic and steel for up to three days....


My wife is stable her temps good her O2 is around 95-97  vs 91-92

We take her O2 3 or 4 times a day.  we take her temps 3 to 4 times a day.
Her 3 ½ day in hospital was Jan13 to Jan16 it was called community pneumonia both lungs.

Last effect now is endless post nasal drip which causes 3 or 4 coughing fits each day.

She has 5 cousins with the corona-v 3 in CT  2 in NY. We are in NJ

2 or her cousins are in intensive care the other 3 are getting better.

So 6 relatives 3 went to hospital.

2 still in hospital

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

all three states have bad numbers
"
NY  478 of 1 million die
NJ  265 of 1 million die
CT  155 of 1 million die "  note: cleaned from charts in the link

all six relatives are 45 to 69 years old.

Still NY numbers if were all over the world  would mean

478/1,000,000 x 8,000,000,000 = 3,824,000  worldwide deaths

compared to 1918-1919 spanish flu 20,000,000 out of 1,200,000,000

for this to be as bad as the spanish flu deaths worldwide would need to climb to 120-130 million.

God forbid this happens.

basically this is still yet to reach the 2009 h1n1 levels of 175,000 to 575,000 world wide

actually if he wants to mine asdic for btc only or go gpu for a mix of algos or even cpu for a mix of algos.

I would argue if the answer is go sha-256 and mine only btc it could stay here.

To op don't mine for any big money unless you have 50 watts of free power or under 3 cent power.


If you have normal power cost of 8 to 30 cents a watt you should only mine very very very very little.

Since btc is the gold standard I would get a cheap miner and point it at solo.ckpool.org


http://solo.ckpool.org/users/146UJM5kgzLVUV23CXCf33KQKHckoX1gx3

I point very little hash to solo.ckpool.org and hope for a miracle  it is btc

you should really do this and then the thread could stay here.

14326  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: How to get information from antminer s9 on: April 12, 2020, 03:04:08 PM
I manage 100 miners this way.
I go to viabtc.com  I have three accounts.
I can check my ltc and btc miners on each account in under 2 minutes.  Their software recycles stats every 10 minutes.

If there is a problem

I go to team viewer I have full access to the miner I try to do a remote fix.
If no go. The warehouse the miners are in is open 12 hours a day 7 days a week I contact the worker and tell him to do a hard power off and power on.
If no go. I mark the miner as dead wait for a few to turn off  and drive the 140 mile round trip to do a hard repair.
I have
  3 s9's dead out of 2000th  that is about 40th
  1 l3+ dead out of  12gh     that is about 0.5gh
I will leave them be due to corona-v lockdown.
I do go to warehouse every 90 days to teardown and dust  out the gear.
here is my smallest account.
2 pieces of gear are running I know that is all I have with that account
So no need to do anything on team viewer for that account.

14327  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: How to get information from antminer s9 on: April 12, 2020, 01:32:18 PM
you could do team viewer and have the 10 in the browser
I have 3 accounts with viabtc.com
There are around 100 miners working remotely.
Here are 5 of the in a browser.  I check all of them on  viabtc.com  if I see an issue I use teamviewer and deal with the problem miner.

The person that has cached the threads is the issue which is a secondary point to bring up should a thread like the 2 mentioned be cached and available for any one to see.

Both threads are certainly wrong.  So is saving a wrong thread in a cache wrong?

I would say yes it is.  But I am just a guy typing on my keyboard in New Jersey .
Actually preserving the evidence is a good thing. In the unlikely event that this scammer ever comes to the attention of the authorities, the cached post is just another little piece of evidence that can ensure a conviction.

yeah but letting everyone access a dox cache not so good.

should be more secure.

trust me as i am a person that is illegally doxxed with no ability to correct it . as the site doxxing me is based in a bs spot and i cant go after it.

bitcointalk.org could be hassled for allowing access to that cache .  

to me the thread was obviously wrong and viewing it is something that should require restricted access.

pmalek states he can see the cache why?

not complaining just questioning procedure to protect bitcointalk.org and the forum members.


how about a different example.

a clear set of photos of child porn involving a three month old baby 👶 with doxing info on how to use that baby.

this would not be too good to cache as it is criminal material.

if you cache it you would very likely send it to authorities and once they have it. i would delete the cache.

this material was not quite as bad but it is criminal info. i would not cache it and not talk to law enforcement.

but as i said i jsu a guy in New Jersey typing on my iPad mini.

okay i will escrow.

i will not post any info until 90% is sold.

i will put the address here

i will make a new address on my trezor.


i will put your name here and pm you.
like

vickersja

needs to send $88 in btc

i will pm him to send 0.011000xx

assume that 0.011000 is 88 usd. the xx will be dust number. to help me be sure it was you that paid.
also i need a refund address from each and every one.


do not pay anything yet. wait till it fills and I start to collect.

@philipma1957
Please don't take this the wrong way, but this thread of yours is pointing users in the wrong direction. Here is why. I never saw the original thread where the user was offering credit card info. But your thread made me curious, I researched and found the cached unedited version. If I can do it, others can as well.

The 2nd example is similar. Those with bad intentions now know where to look.
I think it's something to consider because you are unintentionally giving these people some importance.

The person that has cached the threads is the issue which is a secondary point to bring up should a thread like the 2 mentioned be cached and available for any one to see.

14331  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Can bitdeer be profitable? on: April 11, 2020, 04:21:07 PM
Hello,

looking at bitmain's page I found this web

https://www.bitdeer.com/pricing?id=1

Where they seem to offer lots of plans with very good design and that kind of stuff....

The thing is... if it was profitable the way they offered i for the user, why would the do it in the first place?

I can think in some reasons, such as liquidity and that kind of stuff...

Has anyone tried it?

it has a we can say "fuck you anytime we want to" clause built into it.

When they used to be hashnest or should i say when bitmain was running hash nest in 2017  and  coins got smoking hot they should fuck you and cancelled the contract.


While I still turned a profit even with the cancelled contract 1.0 btc became 1.1 btc and  btc was 1500 usd when I purchased and 5000 usd when they cancelled using the fuck you cause we can clause.  If they had honored the contract the 1.0 would have been 1.2 btc and it would have came due in dec 2017 when coins were about 16000 usd.

I read all the fine print on bitdeer and I do not recommend buying one of them.  you are better off with buying coin with cash.
14332  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Number 9! Ninth altcoin thread. Back to the moon Baby! on: April 10, 2020, 10:56:39 PM
Wow!

This CPU will be a powerful XMR miner.

Would this bigger 128GB RAM impact RandomX performance?

Post your buildup - this would be a monster XMR miner

Should do 25kh  vs the 12kh my 3900's do.

goal will be

1 threadripper 3970x
1 ryzen 9 3950x
4 ryzen 9 3900x

six rigs with not much gpu action.

I think

3  gtx    1660's
1  amd  5700
1  gtx    1080ti

1  gtx    710 does not mine just to access screens on the ryzen 3950 build

I may sell  the 1080ti hybrid soon
and the 3 gtx 1660's

use the amd 5700 with the thread ripper.

and I have a few gtx 710's which won't mine just give some graphics.

Phil I think this is freaking awesome, but from a financial point of view how can you justify this?

I know you have a unique electric situation, so lets say without even factoring electric -- you'll clear $1.33 a day ~.7 XMR a month? You could buy over 37 XMR instead O_o

Don't get me wrong, I love mining and look forward to seeing your results with this, but just curious to hear your thoughts here.

XMR developers have fought the good fight against asic's

I toss support to them. Also I am very careful about experimental and test builds that run at a loss.

Basically anything in my garage loses money but  it show ways to build and keeps me in the loop.

So

 My threadripper 1920x and mobo and cooler  gone
 My ryzen 7 3700x full plug n play gone
 My ryzen 7 3800x full plug n play gone
 4 amd vega 56 units gone


added 1  thread ripper  3970x plug n play  

my sales of gear cost me zero to do the build

and I will drop power down to 300 watts vs 1500    as the sold gear was using a ton of power.


At this is possible due to the 2ph btc  12 gh ltc farm   as that is fully paid for and I earn from that farm.

My home will run

4 ryzen 9 3900            400 watts
1 ryzen 9 3950            120 watts
1 threadripper 3970x   300 watts

 Total 820 watts for summer mining  I very likely will not make money with this cpu farm , but  much of it has been created for no net cost  due to selling other gear.

I still stand by my signature that alts are needed for cryptocoin to be mass adopted.
And  to not have some alt coin cpu and gpu gear would be wrong. Even if it does not profit.

And all my gear will be new with decent warranty  in the garage.

Do I advise anyone to buy  5 am threadripper rigs at 2-3k each out of pocket no.

Do I advise a guy with a lot of older gear to sell or swap to a ryzen xmr rig  sure at least one rig.

I still have  6 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 18 gpus mining  in rigs I split coins with.

So

 I have the big Clifton farm I get a piece of pretty much certain medium profit.  say  .15 btc a month  say 4 ltc a month  profit.   this is over   700 my share.
 I have 18 gpus I get a piece of pretty much a certain small profit.   say .02 btc a month profit.                                                 this is over   125 my share.



   I will have 6 xmr rigs all mine in my home that  kind of lose money  or make very little.
This will cost 1440 kwatts of 17 cent power monthly  may 1 to oct 31   that is 244 a month to earn about  150 in coin  a 94 dollar loss.
I can do the following  for years :

Spend 244  a month in power and bank 150 in coin. .................................. 6 x 94 =                        564 loss
In the winter the power cost drops to  144 a month and I bank  150 in coin     6 x 6 =                           36 gain

that  means a loss of 528  a year

the gear was obtained by trading in paid for gear.  so no true gear cost.

so if I lose 100 a year   and have 6 killer rigs  

and I earn on the other gear. 825  a month that is 9900 - 100 = 9800  

Yeah I don't have to do it but I have 6 killer rigs all fairly new.

Yes I could have  cashed in the old gear and not purchased the 6 xmr rigs

I would have maybe 6 or 7 k. which  would not have a deduction against that  gross income.

I have a wash since I purchased the new gear and mine with it.  I am 63  once I am 66 if I choose I can alter my tax planning. Reduce the mining take more  income by not rolling it into the mining.

14334  Other / Meta / Re: POLL: Initial merit provided to older established accounts on: April 10, 2020, 05:36:28 PM
This forum has been around since November of 2009, the merit system was implemented in January of 2018.

Initial merit was provided to accounts which existed before the merit system, and merit was provided based on the rank of their account (Legendary, Hero, etc) -- Full information here.

I'm curious what everyone thinks. Should older accounts have received initial merit? Did most of them deserve it?

Note: When answering, we should hypothetically assume their ranks would have remained (Legendary, Hero, etc) even if they had 0 merit and were never provided initial merit, and that the entire forum would not have been demoted to a newbie status because of the alterations to ranking that the merit system introduced. (i.e. you need merit to get to the next rank)

I'm trying to establish whether you believe the majority of users (not *all*) before 2018 actually deserved merit or if the majority of users did not deserve it.

There is a good argument that many members who received initial merit deserved it (and maybe even deserved more initial merit), and that these initial merits are meaningful, overall.

There is also a good argument that many members who received initial merit did not deserve what they received, or that they didn't deserve any merit at all, and it makes these merits not meaningful, overall.

What is your opinion?  Try to answer objectively and please explain below.

Thank you!

I voted other.  

some People like me should have been give 2x the norm maybe 3x.

All idle members should have been given ½  maybe ⅓ the norm.

I figure my 9 threads in alt coins were worth 500 to 1000 merits The first 6 had zero as they were before the merit concept started.
Many people posted really good info from 2012 to 2018

people that post "Airdropped merit should totally be erased. It serves no purpose other than giving false authority to farmed accounts over those not in the know.

If someone had a good account that hasn't been back in two years it's still a good account. The ranks can stay if need be. The merit should go."

[Note: gentlemand just posted that]

 are just as guilty as the original problem of giving the merits in the first place.

an "all or nothing mentally"

BTW Theymos was guilty back in 2018 of giving them away
just as gentlemand is guilty of saying drop them all now.

The proper way would have been appoint a few people to judge and decide who sucked and who did not.

I figure it was about 1,000,000 plus posts that needed to be looked at and then decided on how much effort is that>  I could do 1000 posts a week so  in 20 years I would be done grading  them.  So hire 20 people at $20,000.00 each and maybe they would be done in six months.

@ Theymos
@ gentlemand     since you would be yin and yang on the subject I used the two of you in my example.

There is no mathematically or scientifically proven fact that bitcoin will climb after the halving, and nobody should enter the mining business with the assumption that bitcoin price will increase after the halving, if you can't survive a 50% drop in rewards without any price increase, or even worse a price drop then you shouldn't be mining.

If someone is 100% sure that price is going to the moon, they should simply buy the coin and hold it, it costs nothing to hold, easier to sell, no work is required, no risk of gears failure, house on fire and etc.

do not mine it at nice hash

if you want a steady payout  use viabtc pps+ payment option.

it will do 0.00001661 btc a th or 14 x 0.00001661 = 0.0002325 btc a day  it will pay out when you top 0.010 btc.



https://www.viabtc.com/


mine there it should work fine.

if you get bored waiting the 50 days to get paid.

you can take a stab here 1 day a month

http://solo.ckpool.org

all or nothing  so 1 full block or zero.

between the two pools you should be good



I would explain nicehash better but it will take too long to explain why you should not change the firmware and mine at that pool.
