"I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords"

meh. AI is a tool that learns from data we give access to. id doesnt care what we do. in fact it will probably help us destroy the planet even better/faster than we currently do now.

of course then, we design another AI to fix the planet.

it sure would not bother killing us. we give the parameters, so no reason to.

now some crappy 3rd world country packed full of lunatics may try to us an AI to destroy others, but we would have AIs to watch for that.

computers/AI are the next soldiers. and guardians.

so i did a small amount of trust updating. and now the combined trust is ~-1500 its now better

im obviously nowhere savvy enough to do this right. i dont seem hang in the right threads where this comes up and i can add (and subtract) the right people.

if you dont mind could you pm me your trustlist? you seems to have it hooked up with the right people and i dont have the knowledge to do it right myself.

or would just adding you to my dt level 0 do it?  hang on lemme try that.

EDIT: added you to my list level 0 (if thats the term) now its back to  ~-2500. but obviously its still not accurate enough. so if you can pls pm me your list.

he sent the message "I'm alive" very recently. which of course is good news.

obviously no other info as hes laying low till the situation clarifies.

he is resourceful and of course there is little more that can provide incentive to stay low than a possible death sentence.

Thailand has blown this way out of proportion. ok he did wrong according to Thai law. but this deserves special consideration as its (mostly) all new territory legally, and he genuinely has his heart in the right place. "threat to Thai sovereignty?" i think they vastly overestimate what this experiment was. and it was an experiment.. a prototype.

i think Thailand blew a great opportunity to come to the forefront in an emerging tech that could of provided much world recognition of a new technology and that could of boosted Thai tourism, all they needed to do is say "look, this is cool but heres the deal: you need to realize there are limitations to what you can do 13 miles out, and we would be happy to clarify and assist in this."

instead, they send warships. i can almost understand that actually, but the way they did it was over the top IMO.

Elwar, if youre reading this know we are all rooting for you. you and Supranee stay safe. if you can and its safe we would love updates.

your story, if/when  you choose to tell us, will be most informative and of course nail biting.

we all owe you and people like you for the advances in tech like this that can only help the human race. sooner or later we have to expand to the sea, and you and people like you are leading the way. few people can say that.

much respect and i mean that sincerely.

STAY FREE

man is it good to see you post here again!

stay safe and update when you can. but obviously dont take any risks to do so. we can wait.

thanks i see him now.

id love to blame my lack of seeing it to age and vision deficiencies.. but drugz is likely the main culprit

lerr.. duh. its like the biggest avatar there, perfect match with his ego. you fit him in nice

as soon as eyeball replacements are available im getting some. a replacement OEM brain wouldnt hurt either.

i cant see my cat-with-the-hat avatar on there. but since cats have built in stealth technology im not surprised. hes there somewhere. he will be seen when he wants to.

thanks

very appropriate for bsv IMO. takes risks, grand fashion (showmanship). just what i want for my long term storage of value coin and the person leading it.

/s

yeah your number is much more realistic.

i should update my trust list. as i dont really use trust, i currently only have the default trust plus one person ive bought stuff from.

same on the android side (samsung phone and watch here) and i figure apple integration is probably ever tighter. i use it more and more as time goes on. its pretty impressive the amount of usefulness they can cram into those things.

ive used my watch to pay but it uses NFC so you just tap the machine. its linked to a credit card. but you still need to open the app on the phone 1st.

i consider it more of a novelty as im still in the habit of using actual cards.

btw i use the android universe. not sure how the apple stuff works.

only around -2500 trust between the two accounts. man you DT trust guys are slackers.

TIL. i have found my new favorite word.

so just what does this bsv logo represent?

not if it comes back.

and yes i took some profit around 15k. in 20/20 hindsight i should of taken a bit more as i didnt think the bear market cycle would be this long.

but since i started in 2011 and have held most of my btc since then (but still occasionally selling some, and also buying/mining more since then), that 20k was just another ATH, one of a series of them, each subsequent ATH crushing the last.

if we go on another tear, great, ill take more profit. but for me anything over about $400 USD is profit. thats a quick, rough guess as i mined a lot of them in the $3 USD range, yes thats three dollars. but ive mined/bought since so i figure the average is about 400. if it goes below that... well it was a fun ride while it lasted. and thats the advantage of long term HODL of the bulk of your stack. after a point you can pull your initial investment out and from that point forward youre playing with house money. cant lose after that.


heh, yup

215+ should be able to do at least 125 mhz (its "stock" speed) easy. make sure it has some air flow in its general area. and check its fan maybe its bad?

to get way past 125 mhz though may need a heatsink on the vrm. there are heatsinks on the vrm now when you order them, if you dont have one email support they will send you one.

all of them are under more or less forever warranties right now as the warranty starts when the gpu assist miner come out. so if all else fails, RMA it.

my three 215+ in a nest4x and with my own vrm heatsinks (not sqrls) run 195mhz 24/7.

figured id show what a klutz with a box of parts, a utility knife and too much time on his hands does.

added backplate cooling to my bcu1525. i ordered it with upgraded passive cooling with sqrl blower. but i wanted more cooling on the backplate as the stock backplate has no cooling at all. backplate cooling is highly recommended on the hi current bitstreams, soooo

1st thermal padding on the plate where the pcb thats hottest, which is near the 6 pin peg connector. after removing the mylar, 2 mm artic thermal padding applied.





found an old cpu heatsink from the pile. aluminum with a copper slug. used a bit of MX4 thermal paste on the copper slug, then the rest of it (the aluminum) with artic alumina thermal epoxy to affix it to the backplate. a 80mm delta 4000 rpm 47 cfm is on it.

finished and being tested. it will get moved back to a case as ill likely play with it a bit more.. possible another 0.5 mm thremal padding and covering a bit more area. running a bitstream now at 285 watts for testing, all temps are showing green in minorator: VRMs under 85 *C, FPGA is in the mid 70s *C

yup had a amd 5x86dx4, 160mhz 24/7. that and my voodoo card and glquake. play for days, sleep for days. repeat.allowed me to skip the 1st pentiums, went right to PII celeron 300 with no cache those puppies overclocked like there was no tomorrow. then a PII 450 to P3 coppermine. gets blurry after that as to what i ran.

voodoo one cards. my brother in law had one. when i saw it in glquake against whatever card i had at the time my jaw just dropped and my drool puddled on the floor. i bought one the next day heh. one of the single most "holy shit" advances ever, soundblaster with real wav files was second. with games that did adaptive MIDI soundtracks (wing commander II), well who needs sleep anyway.

still have an 8086 (8088?) with a six pack, herc and ega card (a paradise card that could hit some vga modes), original soundbaster with build in 4 watt amp and the volume dial. gotta dig out the acoustic coupled modem. of course i should of saved a phone with the old style hand piece too. no phone i currently have would fit its cups lol.

best part of that 8088/8086 XT clone? that HUGE red paddle switch for power. nothing like it. when you flipped that switch that solid "thunk" was music to the ears. and the 10 megabyte hard drives that took minutes to spin down.

easiest overclocks (well aside from the bios stuff from the pentium II on up) was the jumpers on the 486. just pick 25,33 or 40, then select the multiplier via jumper and see if it booted. cant remember if my 386 could do that. before that there was the clock crystal replacement on the IBM AT. never tried it on mine though.

dont remember what the cpus were that you just added more L2 cache via stuffing chips in empty sockets on the mobo. 386 im guessing.

still have some of those cpus/motherboards and all the stuff needed to boot them. part of my Piles of Old Crap Collection.

there was a pin you could isolate or snap off on the pentium northwood B and change its multiplier (or fsb?). might not of been the B model either come to think about it. a,b,c model northwoods all used a different fsb, that pin said which one to use. or something like that lol

only remember cuz i tried it and it didnt work. as i broke my pin it was a major pita to get it to make contact again. i use a piece of copper wire sticking out of the socket as  i recall.
