Tomorrow the entire market will be rebounding. Trust me.

I’ll reply to this thread with a huge coin map of everything pumping.

or a downward spiral with btc dropping under 7k

I have a t17   it has 66,000 hw's in 6 hours

it is 0.0285%

this would be   9997.22 out of 10,000 usd here is a screen shot

I can live with losing under 3 dollars of every 10,000

so this unit's hourly error rate is 11,000 for 40th

it is almost 2x that of the op

and it loses hardly any money his unit is losing maybe $1.50 out of every 10,000

So seems like a repeat of last Summer. Basically we had 12 days of semi-decent profit for home ETH mining and now again its reaching the point of mining revenue going mostly due to electrical costs. Only people that benefit are people with cheap or free power.

I think that the tide might turn because we have 3 events looking forward to profitable mining.

1) BTC halving - If BTC can break the 2019 or 2017 ATH then I am assuming there will be FOMO in ETH.

2) Antminer E3 - In about 40 days they won't be able to mine ETH. Hopefully there are many of these E3's that free up the difficulty

3) ProgPOW - Going live in July 2020. Should eliminate the other brand of ETH asics which are more powerful.


Btc halving doesn't matter when futures with x125 leverage is introduced, you don't need real btc to trade it

yeah the exchanges are trading 1000's of non existent coins.
14804  Other / Politics & Society / Re: WW2: California Sorry for Japanese American Camps - too little too late? on: February 26, 2020, 07:29:11 PM
Did they also made German camps, and Italian camps? Surely the other axis countries would have supporters in American soil wouldn't they? Or was is something especially racist against Japanese?

Definitely too late, the victims of the State segregation are mostly gone by now...

They did not allow Germans or Italians to have a ham radio.

They did not jail them.

Having some Italian ancestors I am pretty sure of this to be a fact.

Japanese owned some good pieces of land in California some of it was stolen. So it was a land grab more than anything.

Dear BitMax,
I updated the out of ordered E9.3 by " btc_upgrade _9.0.0.20.tar.gz " and the problem is fixed.
Thank you for your direction.


Fixed your code.

14806  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Buy GPU now or wait till new ones are out?? on: February 26, 2020, 06:18:13 PM
So I have drilled down to some cards and I found the following options from a supplier overseas-
a)1060 6GB~ $140 - $160 (new 3 yr warranty)
b)1080ti 11GB~ $500 - 450 (new 1yr warranty)

So basically I can spend about 3k on cards resulting in - either 6x1080ti or 20x1060

i used whattomine to check which coin is best for the above cards, and seems like ROI on the 1080ti are bad, however the 1060s will take 1.5 years

is this normal? or am I just too late, which is why its bad for me?

What do you guys do. same as above?? use a profit calculator and mine the best coin? are your ROI on hardware around similar time as mine?

Am I missing something regarding mining.


Mining profitability is minimal to zero at current prices and difficulty.  People who mine currently typically do it as a hobby, already have the hardware, so utilizing it, have really low electricity rates, and/or will hodl the mined coin for future price increases.  your ROI at current values is correct to even on the shorter end.  You are a little late to the game, but not saying things can't turn around.

Note this advice it is pretty sound.  if you have cheap power and can hodl coins .

I use my gear to heat my home. It makes me effectively have cheaper power.

If progpow boosts the earnings of a 1080ti to $2.00 a day things will be very interesting.

I still have :
1 rig with 1x 1080, 2x 1070, 1 x 1660ti
2 rigs with 4x 1080ti
3 rigs with 2x 1080ti     so 14 1080ti and the lessor gpus 18 in all


I also have 8 rigs mining xmr with 1 card it think it is
4x vegas 56
1x 1080ti
4   1660

9 cards total     grand total 27 cards and 8 cpus


philip, I remember in 2018 you have a lot of 1080tis, how they are working now? Same efficiency, and no RMA in your cards?
Unfortunately I had to stop mining due to my electricity price, I consider Solar but here in my country it's very expensive the parts

I have only a 1080ti that I mined a lot and still strong playing some games, it was a card ahead of time in my opinion

All of those 1080ti's have run since 2017-2018  2 - 2.5 years

All were never pushed 150 to 200 watts 50 to 70% fans.

The key was never do over 200 watts

keeping temps at 70c or less

never pushing fans hard.

I have 8 hybrids left the others are air cooled.

eth and progpow could make them really nice.

I think just copy the blockchain files from a full node PC to the rasp pi should work.

yeah  I would think so  that seems to be fastest way to do it.

Korea is feel angry at its top leader over the virus.


https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2020/02/113_285177.html


They want President Moon out.


I did a lot of numbers  and I see  the infection to end up near 1% worldwide  that is  1% of 8 billion  or 80 million  get sick in the next year.  With 2 to 3 % of them dying.  So maybe 1.6 to 2.4 million world wide will die from it.


The last super bad virus not counting aids  was a flu out break in the early  1920's maybe 1919.  It most likely was a side effect of world war I

it killed  about 20 million people.   but  we had 1.8 billion  so  4.4 x that is  about todays population.   That flu would have killed 88 million.


This virus won't  do that.  Which is why some countries are willing to let it run its course.  Donny Trump  fired the entire pandamic CDC staff in 2018  so as bad as this has been in China  it is going to really fuck the USA hard.   Maybe 3 million catch it and 60,000 die. On the high end estimate.


One must remember the USA loses  50,000 a year to flu + pneumonia so it will be more this year.


In fact  if it does occur as bad as I think it will  much like the war of the worlds  where the martians were beaten by tiny little germs  Trump may lose the election due to tiny little germs.

@ darker45    chinese labs are known to sell  lab animals to the wet markets   this is by far the most likely way this disease was unleashed on the world.  I posted multiple articles a few posts back.
14813  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Faster sync would be nice (i.e. soooo slow) on: February 26, 2020, 03:55:36 AM
yeah op’s sin is he want to use the pc for multiple tasks with a large hdd.

his first full sized synch is a bear.

I was trying to see just how fast I could do a new full wallet.

i used a 2tb gen 4 cosair ssd
16gb ram
a ryzen 9 3900x cpu.

200mb internet connection

took me around six hours.

this is a high end gaming machine.

i guess it would cost around 2k to build it.

i suspect the 200mb internet is why it took six hours.

i would need a new modem from cable and i could do up to 400 mb i am sure this pc would load the core quicker then six hours.


but people do not want to spend 2k for a full node.
14814  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoin halving make cryptocurrencies reach all time high again? on: February 26, 2020, 02:12:12 AM
The block reward halving has had positive long term effects on the price of bitcoin. There are many theories as to why this happens but the simplest reason is supply and demand.
When fewer bitcoins are being generated, this increased scarcity makes them more valuable.

one of the  reasons are

Bitmain
Canaan
Innosilicon
MicroBT
eBang


are have a vested interest it pushing coin price up to sell their gear.  At the current price of 9200  none of those companies will be selling a lot of gear once the

3x ½ ings  all hit  BTC, BSV, BCH

But  if all those coins rise at least 50 to 60%  those companies can sell some gear.

So I see the price of coin being driven upwards some time in the next six months.  Or some of those companies will go by by.
14815  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Advice on Raspberry pi hardware for running full BTC node on: February 26, 2020, 01:03:02 AM
to give some benchmarks on a high-end beast pc .

I downloaded full node in six hours last night.

Did it with a ryzen 9 3900x cpu and a 2tb m2 nvme gen 4 hard drive.

along with 16gb ram and a 200mb internet connection.

a computer like mine is around 2000 to,build.

i suspect my bottleneck is my eth  connection.

it does illustrate that full nodes are pretty hard to download quickly.

i think i could do it it quicker and spend less but a really fast download under four hours is tough if not impossible.

i knock the rasp pi but if you create a working 1 tb ssd for your rasp pi and clone it once a week. you would save a ton of money.

is it possible to run a rasp pi in a vm on a high end pc just to make a full node quickly then clone it to an ssd and use that with the rasp Pi.
14816  Economy / Economics / Re: Corona Virus is a Fake Flag to destroy China! on: February 25, 2020, 11:55:23 PM
  Newspaper story from New York Post and some other links.

some nasty photos I have zero idea if this is why the virus got loose.


https://nypost.com/2020/02/22/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab/

https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2020/02/24/expert-chinese-scientists-sell-lab-animals-meat-black-market/


https://www.unitednewsmax.com/general-news/chinese-scientists-sells-lab-animals-as-meat-on-the-wet-market/


I do know some scientists and maybe  some maintenance disposal services could look to score money.


Most likely some variation of the stories linked are the case of the spread.

Most likley the worst case is 12% of the world catches it that's a billion people 2-3 % die  this is 20 to 30 million deaths.

I based this on the results of the isolated ship off Japan.  600 of 5000 got sick in pretty much the best conditions to spread a disease 2-3 weeks stuck on a ship.


The stats from China   vary  65,000 of 11,000,000   to 72,000  of 62,000,000 got sick 2-3 % die.
14817  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: It is 2020 time for a new diff thread. on: February 25, 2020, 05:45:36 PM
We dropped about .7%

We are suffering a price drop to 9350

lastly the diff is down right now  over 10% .but it is early

https://diff.cryptothis.com/

BTW  if you look at the 2019 LTC charts  price peaked well before the ½ ing

So I wonder if we see a huge btc price drop  and of course a huge diff drop  and mirror LTC from last year.

LTC peaked June 21 of  2019  at 148 usd

it dropped on July 16 of 2019 to 79 usd  after that crash     the diff dropped from 16.5 million on July 15 2019  to as low  as 4.72 million on Dec  20, 2019

we moved up to 5.97 million as of today.

I was also looking at BCH AND BSV  which can use the same gear as BTC  all three tanked  a bit.

6000HW errors on all chains after running one hour.

thats to much for original fw without any modification on frequence or voltage.

that is a meaningless number.

what is the error percent?

0.0050 is acceptable.

that would mean you get 9999.50 of every 10000 earned.
14819  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Faster sync would be nice (i.e. soooo slow) on: February 24, 2020, 11:38:45 PM
 well a lot depends on why you run your core.  is it to be a node and support the network?  Is it a wallet?

Is it both?

Some advice is use a pc like this one

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lenovo-ThinkCentre-M93p-Tiny-Desktop-PC-2-90GHz-Core-i5-4570T-16GB-RAM-No-HDD/383427102572?

stick in a 1tb ssd load the core.

then clone it on a spare hdd.

so if it crashes the spare will not be far behind and take forever to synch.

Looks like Bitmain posted an update that the Ethereum ASIC they sold the E3 is at its end of life due to lack of memory for the growing DAG.

I find it very suspicious that the day that the E3 stopped working on ETC was the same day that we got the go ahead with ProgPOW for ETH. Maybe it's a coincidence.

Will this have a big effect? Who knows. Any idea how many E3 were built? So far the ETC hashrate has actually increased when the E3 could no longer mine it. Basically variance. The real tell tale sign will be when ETH hits the same Epoch in like 45 days or so.

Anyone care to guess how many of these are actually on the network?

lets hope they were 30 to 40% of the network.
