Tor + vpn + monero (xmr) = pretty much all you need.

Tails OS comes with TOR by default if linux is your thing and it should be if you are obsessed with privacy.
https://distrowatch.com/table-mobile.php?distribution=tails

I know it goes way deeper than using just TOR (like encrypting every post you send) but average people don't really need that much privacy.

Tbh even a basic setup like bitcoin + vpn will provide more privacy than you'll ever need. Since these are the basic stuff which everybody knows and they work fine, I don't think there is a need for another board.

Do think 99.9 % of the forum member here can correctly run a vpn and a bitcoin core wallet.

I think a lot more then 0.1%  can not.

But I don't think a board is a going to have enough posts.

Also Privacy and security get complicated  if a thread has bad info  about

vpn's  or tor or whatever the poster could face issues.

I don't know if I want to explain how to hide your tracks in any detail on a thread.

both average between 41.5 th/s and 42 th/s though

In anticipation of making room to add an S19 when they are released, I figured I would sell my T17's

Asking 800 each - shipped in original boxes to anywhere in the continental US - shipping outside of that will have to be extra.

I would have @philipma1957 or @ognasty do escrow - buyer pays escrow fees though.

one was purchased May 2019 and the other October 2019 so neither are a year old yet.

Both are running original manufacturer firmware and have never ran anything other than that.

If you really need pictures, let me know and I will post some up. I would not say I am well known here, but I am known and I have bought/sold at least a dozen miners, if not more thru the forums.

hold my hand and teach me how to use a vpn.
teach me to use tor
teach me to use jackass or was it hide my ass. [cant remember].

now if all those threads took off and had a few thousand posts. it would still be short of a board.


at op can you come  up with more  ideas for threads?

i do think we could use a primer on the subjects above.

They left my paypal notice for buying in the mining section. That was for OCT and NOV 2019.

I am  hopeful they do this for this option.
I did a fake order to show the option.

I know nothing about this form of payment.
So if anyone has used it please tell us about it. Thanks to favebook and thanks to future thread contributors.

Alex de Vries, a blockchain specialist at "Big Four" consultancy firm PwC and founder of crypto analytics site Digiconomist, has said that 98% of bitcoin mining machines will fail to produce a block of transactions during their average lifetime of 1.5 years.

Around 4 million machines are currently active and nearly 75,000 blocks are produced every 1.5 years – meaning less than 2% machines are able to produce a block to verify bitcoin transactions, de Vries tweeted Monday. The remaining 98% of machines never produce any blocks, he contended.

"The lifetime of course varies, but if you look historically, you do see bitcoin mining devices follow Koomey's law (doubling of computational power every 1.5 years)," de Vries told The Block. "If you look at Bitmain IPO data you see they sold well over 4 million of Antminer S9 family devices over the past years (see Carbon Footprint of Bitcoin report, published last year), so that's a very plausible number."

Even if you take four years as an average lifetime of bitcoin mining machines, the number is not any better at around 200,000 blocks on 4 million devices, de Vries told The Block.

When asked about mining pools – which essentially serve to amass hash power, and distribute block rewards among those who contribute to the pool – de Vris was equally dismissive.

"Yes they bundle and distribute the work, but that doesn’t change that at the end of the line the 'winning' number is only found once every 10 minutes by a single one of those devices," he told The Block. "Pooling is just a specific strategy to perform the random number generation; doesn't alter the substance."

Energy consumption by bitcoin mining machines is also a cause of concern, according to de Vries. The carbon footprint of a single transaction is equal to spending 52,043 hours watching YouTube, he told The Telegraph U.K. in a report published Sunday.

"It's a serious problem in terms of economic sustainability," de Vries The Block, adding: "One could classify regular proof-of-work as proof-of-useless-work."

Is a proof-of-stake system a solution? Not necessarily, he said.

"There's little doubt that such a system would reduce bitcoin's energy need by around 99.9% (and e-waste would be even more negligible). I don't necessarily see this as the ultimate solution, but a step in getting the right mindset with regard to creating something truly sustainable," de Vries concluded.


note my bolded line  it says 200,000 blocks were made  with about 4,000,000  machines  and that is not any better then his 2% number.


last I looked 200,000/4,000,000   is 5%     5% is better then 2%

It would mean 5 blocks   vs 2 blocks..   or 63 coins vs 25 coins.

If you want to argue  that  those s9's are not all that miner they were close to 80% of the network

so  4 blocks not 5 blocks

Still last I looked 4 blocks are 50 coins  vs 2 blocks are 25 coins.

Article is propaganda Since it is off by a factor of 2 at best.
14718  Economy / Economics / Re: Can corona virus or any other epidemic disease can collapse Banking? on: March 05, 2020, 04:43:34 PM
I do not think that Corona virus is the same risk that the media describe, as the mortality rate did not exceed 3%, while some diseases, such as malaria, kill millions of people in Africa. Perhaps the main goal is to weaken the economy of some countries, make some pharmaceutical companies rich, or even occupy public opinion about many economic failures.
I am not saying that it is fake, but it does not deserve all this media amplification

Malaria does tend to be a tropical disease. Sooo people not in the tropics tend to not fear it. It simply won’t spread  far and wide.

Corona-v can and will spread everywhere on the planet.
It is not crazy kill you dead half the world is going to die.

If it was really super deadly and infected 2/3 of us all making 1/3 of us die.

It would be a huge disaster a ww3 but in a different way.

I think a lot of the fear is was this created by evil scientists 🥼.

If it was it is a homerun.

it spreads easy strikes older people. kids under 12 don’t seem to catch it.

Many will want a shot not to catch it. Money will be made on it.

My fear is if this was a designer virus 🦠 they will come up with another in five to ten years.

14720  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is 12K USD is the next target? on: March 05, 2020, 02:00:51 PM
From the recent rise it is now currently correcting itself and hope that it will stay at this level.
We are far from $12k and only another pump will make it but eventually correct again to $10k
correction is the right way of telling people that this market is still Healthy to invest with because if the price is just
continue growing then trust me that means manipulation because after continues Growth they will pull down the investment
 and a sudden fall down will happen and not like what is happening now that market stays in certain
 level for the investors not to feel being cheated and this is what we call correction,the next Run will give us way to
trust our market and make investment if we dont want to be late and bitter when the price grow High again.

I'm pretty much okay with healthy corrections as much as with sudden dumps. Either way, both trim down the weak hands, cull the speculators and provide more average entrants with lower entry points.

The longer it takes for the next parabola to emerge, the stronger the momentum and the likelier we break past and form permanent support above 10k, which is ideal.

10k floor is not good enough for the ½ ing floor needs to be over 13k.

at 13k  it would be the same as 6.5k now.

100th mining right now is 0.001576 btc or 10.24 if we were at 6500 

100 th with  the best gear uses 100kwatts a day which is about 4 dollars in power and other expenses and you are at 5 dollars cost not counting gear purchased.

It would be tight at 13k come may ½ ing.

at 5k or 10k pre ½ ing   earnings are 7.88  take off 5 dollars daily cost you are at 2.88  not counting cost of gear purchased.

So 10k will be a hurtful number for mining.
13k a bearable number for miners.

Like it or not mining drives the industry.  As the asic builders have big money and big incentive to sell gear.
