It would need to cost about $15-20 to be worth it.

I didn't check the link before. I did just now: $95 for 1/330th of the power of an ASIC miner. That's 1/41th of the price.
It would need to cost about $15-20 to be worth it.

What would it take to add a small ASIC miner into this? Would it be possible to take 1/1000th of the chips of an ASIC miner, and instead of 3500W run at 5W (a bit more per hash but still small enough to run off USB power)? It would be great for decentralization to have millions of people do some mining, but I guess the market isn't big enough to make production economically viable. You'd have to produce many millions of them to get the price low enough to sell them, and still they'd have to compete against millions of ASIC miners that are a thousand times more powerful.
I'd like it though! It would still be not for profit, but at least there would be some chance to find a block.

It really sucks that laws of scale made miners so large, power hungry and loud to be efficient.

Siccome il flow di bitcoin rispetto allo stock è piccolo, la gente tende ad ignorare questo fatto. Come se la base circolante fosse sempre la stessa.
Ma se l'arco temporale di confronto è sufficientemente lungo, questo flow non è tanto piccolo.

E' questa "la strada da percorrere" per bitcoin? Sarà questo un suo use-case? Quali saranno i prossimi passi e soprattutto riusciremo a vedere questo momento storico ?
 

most ETF are organised where "agents" (darkpools) are managers of an allotment(basket) of coin held in custody of the ETF service where they manage the shares to sell to customers

for a customer to redeem btc from the custodian, they would need to (maybe along with other customers) accumulate enough shares to equal the 'btc basket' amount..  to then vote to unlock the btc basket from custody. usually these btc baskets are in lumps of 1000+ coins per basket

While it's fun project, i find it's a shame ASIC chip isn't used in any way. By ASIC chip, i mean something like BM1387 (which used on Antminer S17 and GekkoScience Compac F).

I didn't know there are other Bitcoin solo pool besides solo ckpool. Do you know how reliable is it compared with solo ckpool?

You forget to include actual link for Han Solo Mining.

Interesting little project that it's relative easy to make it, I know LILYGO T-Display is dirt cheap to buy and it's widely available on internet.
Code for nerdminer is open source and that is great, but I think this would be useful only if I had time machine to get back in past and actually mine some BTC
 

Due nuovi ATH sono stati registrati ieri:

1)Numero di transazioni al secondo, per la prima volta >8 (per la precisione 8.15)

Incredibile che questo avvenga in un contesto di fees del tutto normali (potere di Segwit usata ormai quasi al 100% delle tx)

As Ark Invest and 21Shares remain in pursuit of a spot bitcoin ETF, they’re also looking to bring three other crypto funds to market.

The new product proposals were submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission the same day the regulator chose to delay its decision on the companies’ ETF that would hold bitcoin directly. 

Empowered Funds, a subsidiary of white-label ETF platform Alpha Architect, is listed as the investment adviser of the proposed funds. 21Shares and Ark Invest would serve as sub-advisers.

One of the ETFs would invest in cash-settled bitcoin futures contracts traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), according to an Aug. 11 filing. The planned offering — to be called Ark 21Shares Active Bitcoin Futures ETF (ARKA) — can also hold US Treasury securities, money market instruments and repurchase agreements.

A second proposed fund, the Ark 21Shares Active On-Chain Bitcoin Strategy ETF (ARKC), would similarly invest at least 25% in bitcoin futures contracts, or ARKA — and the remaining assets to cash and cash equivalents.

But unlike ARKA, the so-called on-chain fund uses a proprietary trend indicator to formulate its allocation strategy by determining whether the bitcoin (BTC) market trend is bullish or bearish. Inputs to the trend indicator could include historical price data or on-chain data, the document adds.

....and for example, one time more than 20 years ago, I recall telling a story about eating some live squid to some family members, and I recall that I sent an e-mail on the topic, and my e-mail was only a few paragraphs, but I went over a lot of the details of how my experience had gone... and it probably took me more than three hours to write those three paragraphs.. I wrote the first draft, and then edited it, and then the next day, I edited it again, and added some more facts, and then right around the third day I sent out that e-mail and my live squid eating story..  

La persona n.2 offre un Rolex Daytona 116500LN con corredo completo e provenienza dimostrata da concessionario ufficiale e lo valuta € 28.000, la persona n.2 offre bitcoin per un controvalore pari al momento dello scambio, stretta di mano e finisce lì.

non funziona secondo me,la chat e' troppo dispersiva e la gente del forum non va li a scrivere
viceversa dalla chat pochissimi si sono iscritti e sono rimasti
quindi per me purtroppo, secondo quello che ho visto, i tempi non sono maturi o non sono maturi gli utilizzatori delle chat
non lo so, ma per ora non va

SEC staff has 20-ish more days to make a decision on Grayscale ruling. What are their options?

1. To appeal - they will get one more year to delay the inevitable - approving a spot ETF. SEC's arguments are well known and they will  not stand in any court.
2. To deny again Grayscale and to revoke futures ETF's on the grounds of suspected manipulations. But the futures ETF's will immediately sue SEC for unjust treatment and it is obvious that they will win.
3. To approve all ETF's at once, so that SEC won't lose another trial. SEC may also put some mild conditions as surveillance agreement for Grayscale, or an information agreement for all, which will give SEC more power to investigate fraud and manipulation.

Is there enough BTC for every GBTC? That is the question!
