A node allows you to have a core wallet.

I run a:

 btc node
 bci node
 rvn node

I have core wallets for all 3 coins.

more nodes help network to have more security

I ordered on the first of sept

1205  was my order number.

  I got no info sent to me.  oh well

I am hanging in there hoping for  this to continue onward and downward 

I came up with a lot of numbers  and reasons to explain this.  My best guess is bitmain and hashnest are doing it.

if pointed to a solo pool and they hit the block for bitmain

bitmain scored a block

Since they sold many many many many s9's I would think they scored a few blocks this way on the customers dime.

I saw this years a go and I would only power the controller with 1 pcie jack.  program my pools and then shut down .

I would then fire gear up and only mine for myself.
If I were on the jury I would award a block to anyone this happened to(hitting a block for bitmain)

As The operation instructions included and the bitmain blog does not tell you to do this.
Bitmain is absolute guilty of theft by deception. Maybe someone with a real Hardon against bitmain taped endless gear power ups hoping to show  a block get hit for bitmain.

I know the newer bitmain gear stopped pointing to a solo pool  which meant a few pennies got stolen from every one that fired them up wrong.
In this  case bitmain absolutely hid this from buyers for years.  So it is pretty much an open and shut case against them.

see my numbers above I used a coin price of 4300

sure  give me 1 minute

14000 gh using  1400 watts at 4.5 cents and a 6.653 diff coin price of 4300  makes 75 or 76 cents a day

 with diff drop

14000 gh using 1400 watts at 4.5 cents and a 5.653 diff coin price at 4300 makes  1.17 usd a day

If I swing a hammer and the hammer hits a nail driving it into a piece of wood.
Did I drive the nail into the wood or did the hammer drive the nail into the wood?
Did the hammer force me to pick it up and swing it?
Or did I pick the hammer up of my own free will and swing it?

These arguments can be fun to play with but whether God created man or man invented God is not going to be answered here and now.

I leave those answers to the future and don't particularly care what those answer are.

However the op has one thing right this crash and burn drove away a lot of people from crypto coins.

Is that good i don't know.

But I am still here playing with them and having fun doing it.

I ordered an A921 last night  I will play with downclocks and run it in the garage.  It will lose money unless price jumps  but I will get some heat from it.

Last year I was doing :
7kwatts from the garage
my friends office was doing 1.5 kwatts
buysolar and I were doing 33kwatts from the array

about 41-42 kwatts
during the best months over 10000 usd a month profit

this year I am doing

3kwatts from the garage
friends office 1.5 kwatts
solar array 20kwatts
and a 4kwatt deal at 130 a month  for the 4kwatts that is about 4.5 cents

so power used is now 28-29 kwatts  and combined income under 1000 usd a month after payments.

Holding aside cash for bills from fedex dhl and ups. I am hoping for the correct bills (1000 or so)

we are close to -15%.

One good thing is I have 42th off line in s9's  and 20 th off line in the new avalon.  If there was a btc price move I could add 62th like that. this diff drop  puts me close to being able to add that hash back.

Why do you think CPU's and GPU's took off in 2016 and 2017

plenty of upward pressure on the coin prices made buying gpus and cpus and mob's and psu's a smart thing to do.

Asrock
Asus
MSI
EVGA
Gigabyte
Amd
Intel
Nvidia
Sapphire
Corsair
Seasonic

all stood to gain by upward coin prices from 2015 to 2017  so  upward coin prices happened  and those companies sold gear like mad.

the rush got killed off by coins getting asic attacked and millions of gamer/miners stopped.

For the entire cycle o9f crypto coins to work and have adoption  the gamer/miner is the foundation of adoption.

So when I look at any coin  that is small I want to see an easy pump in price I want to see true asic resistance.

This makes it worth while to mine small coins.  Is there a big upside.  We all know intel and amd are having a core war  and big power hungry cpus are in.

I think coins like Tera are the reason why this is so.
Next year in January or February amd is supposed to launch the x499 mobo and soon after the 3rd gen thread ripper.

So what would help me a gamer miner drop 300-400 for a mobo and 1200-1700 for a cpu   a coin to mine while I am not gaming.

Tera shows me a commitment to asic resistance = good
Tera needs to help me commit to it with a simpler way to mine it then a static ip
Tera needs to have a better way to trade it then OTC on discord

I would love to see it do this.
I would love to see hash rates for cpu's

@ yankees  I just ordered 1  A921  I was able to use a cc  got it from blokforge

with shipping to NJ and a small CC fee I spent about $397

Not worth it but  I wanted to see what clocks I can do.

The A851 sucked at underclocks
The A841  was good at underclocks

I will post a review thread as I don't think any USA guy did this yet.

Sent a pm to you.

how fast for this to ship?

I have auc from the 800 series will they work?

Okay I look at this from the viewpoint of Intel and Amd.

what have I found that would make a person buying a CPU buy a step up  to mine on the side.

An example AMD threadripper 1950x with 32gb ram should be able to mine your coin much more quickly then an amd ryzen 5 2600

What does this mean to sellers and builders of the gear.

 Amd and asrock would rather sell a threadripper 1950x or 2950 x with an asrock taichi  x399   900 + 300 = 1200

then sell a ryzen 5 2600 with an asrock taichi x370  170 + 170 = 340

so what does you coin offer   that a gamer miner buys the   1200 setup vs the 340 dollar setup.

If I were a gamer/miner a cpu coin that can only be mined by a cpu and better cpus do better = big +

So AMD would like your coin to take off asrock would like you coin to take off.  as miner/gamers will say I can earn back money while I sleep.

1)Your coin seems to offer one thing well it works on cpu and is restricted to cpu.
Help us to understand this to be true. It will help the coin out a lot.

2) Next aspect figure a way to let people mine it.  Ie static address  needs to be worked around seamlessly.  And if buying a vpn for 3 bucks a month is the way to do it then clearly explain this and by that  1 cpu per vpn or 2 cpus  per vpn or 3 cpus per vpn.

3) shut the discord down it is  worthless for business .  worthless for showing people how to mine it and you had a mod that got out of control not good.

4) figure a way to trade the coin on a real exchange think about this hard and long.  if it is on an exchange AMD could pump it as a form of advertising better cpus.
this is why gpus took off like mad back in 2015 2016 2017  coins were pumped by
gpu builders
cpu builders
mobo builders
psu builders

5) show that your coin will never be asic to death

6) show why your coin will never be asic to death.

7) give e multiple reasons of protecting your coin from asics

8 )  pay attention to 5, 6, 7

9 ) I could build 10 threadripper rigs to mine your coin  explain to me why I should and what protection is to be given to those burned by asic's

10) have a list of what cpu's mine with TERA coin

 ie a threadripper 1950x does what
ie a threadripper  1920x does what.

I look at a coin in terms of will gear builders pump it.

Tera could use some of the stuff I list above.

The effect of the 27.6% tax is a large part of this.

Believe it or not 2.6% tax which is being applied backwards has also slowed sales of gear.  I have ordered more then 80,000 in gear since 2012 sometimes I paid 3% as I was over 2500 which I thought was the exemption level. So of that 80000 I paid on 40,000 of it.  Which means I owe maybe 2.6% of 40,000

2.6 % of 80000 is about 2000
2.6% of 40,000 is about 1000  Since I paid on half the gear as I was billed on larger orders I owe on say 40,000 and paid on say 40,000

of the 80000 part of that was billed in BTC not USD  25 coins worth of gear worth 10000 was purchased.  Suppose they come back to me and say those coins are valued at 20000 each which was bcc's high point that is 500,000 which is 13,000 at 2.6% or they use the current value of 4000 which is 100,000 total that is 2600 in back duty tax> I know they were worth 400 and I can prove it  but I now have a possible tax fight on my hands.

 Best case Is I don't get any bills $0  

Next best Is I get a 1000 dollar bill which is close to what I figure I owe.

But a bill for 3350 could show  750 + 2600  it would be wrong I would need to fight it.
Or a bill for   13750 could show 750 + 13000 it would be wrong I would need to fight it.

what does that translate to?  no orders from China for the next year on my part.

Lots of people in my spot.  I suspect that many USA people stopped buying gear. We all know that USA mining is not that much but I would think 10% to 20% of gear purchased from China was sent to USA.  I would suspect that has dropped a lot.

This morning shows us down around 14 %

I think it does -16%

Which I will take.

Well I am looking into the first coin on the list.


1. Tera > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4573801.0

I have  some criteria that others may not have.

One  thing I like about a coin is can  gear builders pump it?

IE  can intel and amd buy the coin on exchanges to drive up the price.?

Think of it as both advertisings and  an exotic rebate for the cpu.

I had just started posting on the Tera Thread  so while I won't be giving out any new cpu coins I will be giving out opions of the feasibility of a builders coin pump.

the deal works for some not all people.

this is new and may help op.

nice I need to figure when I ordered it.

I went back and see I paid for mine Sept 1st or second.  I will post some photos of it when it comes.

they are doing a flash sale 50 units for 200 each on the a921

to the states  it would be 12760 (tax of 27.6% included) plus shipping it is fairly cheap price for it.
