do folk on here have a legit "paper wallet generator" link for

HoboNickels

thanks...would rather just mine to something like that if possible and of course LEGIT

brad

Well, I'm likely NOT to get one either...but the founder of Ethereum..is not behind a fork in the coin, seems to me that if any kind of pressure on this is of note

https://www.coindesk.com/no-action-vitalik-opposes-plan-disable-ethereum-asics/


...the devs will simply go to POS coin under metropolis (or whatever the next upgrade is) anyway...

So it is more likely, you could PROBABLY mine this unit for say 5 months or so at worst or more..before such would happen (either fork or going pos coin)

indeed a case could be made that with ASIC's out and GPU miners seeing the end, the devs would face LESS hassle going the POS route in this manner

anyway, my take, not that I know much about this

brad

Good to know....I will attempt to find the link with the FUD you we're going POS Coin.

it is POW now...I heard a rumor it was gonna go POS in a couple months...

is this coin going POS coin in a few months?

China is NOT a capitalist country...thus they will ride this down MUCH farther than we can, IMHO, we have lots of 'fat cat' capitalists that will force our gov't to buckle first...

In China....capitalism is used to unite the communist vision of how the world should work ..it is a tool..in the western world..capitalism is the vision...trade is the tool...

(anyway, in my feeble mind...the totalitarian regime, is more worried about power than $$$..thus they will last this out longer...again just in my view..not that I know squat)

That is 'oddly' comforting.....no matter what happens to crypto boom bust to tulips or whatever


'We are all gonna die. Really'

Puts all this boom or bust crypto 'angst' in perspective...

(sh*t....I got to get out of this chair and typing on bitcointalk and start running regularly, to postpone that outcome asap....)

Garlicoin's only angle is "we have a 'cute name' and are a 'meme' coin...so we will succeed, no further develoment needed....er also 'we're bad' on the whole AMD cards not working..but

Nividia cards working really well.... wizard's that we are...we have no time to take care of such details.....(don't look behind the curtain)

No time..I'm 'obsessing' over my crypto hoards drop in value from $18k BTC...it is all encompassing my life

I wish they would JUST fork ...if siacoin is MAINLY to be used by Sia-Tech for the network anyway...it would be a fine 'slap down' of Bitmain games...but then again....Sia-Tech

has the money for the obelisk units already...so they probably 'don't care' if Bitmain units are the main source of their network...so it is not a big deal to them, about their

own units being doorstops (I have 5 obelisk sc1's in the wind) ..thus the main thing I need to remember is for "doorstop use' keep them unopened in the box...they slide

easier...left in the cardboard box...

So yeah, pretty much doomed, by June of these Obelisk's being worth anything...as an example note the D3 units (x11 coin) are selling for $311 on the Bitmain site....IF you run

them at 10c kWh electric ..it is at a loss already...the next price they should go for is probably $180 on next go around... the same price will likely be at around JUNE for the

blake2b units by bitmain.

I suspect the sia-coin A3 will be going for around 550 usd on the next go around  and again by June....figure 300 bucks.....also likely delivered the 'next week' ..so that is a 2 month

advantage in these blake2b units and 2k savings compared to the

obelisks...arriving around June 1st 2018...so that boat sunk...IMHO...(with no fork that is..bitmain wins...sia-tech is ..meh! did not hurt us any...the rest of us 'screwed" for beliving

in Sia-Tech concept and getting their ASIC's back in the day

Anyway, without a fork of siacoin...this is how it is gonna play out IMHO, Bitmain has 'too much manufacturing' ability for it to be otherwise..they will run their blake2b units like

'toasters' and again I figure the price by June first will be equivalent to the x11 D3 doorstop they sell...the bitmain blake2b units will be also around $311 by June 1st 2018 and

the 'supposed' shipping for the Obelisk Sc-1 units.

so yeah, IMHO, a fork would be our only chance to even 'approach' breaking even on Obelisk SC-1 units..

live an learn..chump or champ....crypto always drama

won't matter to Bitmain these are PRE-ORDERS for what end of July 2018 was it? So you see, they have your coin...it forks and ETH goes POS coin and Bitmain still wins!

(Bitmain: professional evil....professionally done...we do evil well!) (tm: Bitmain)

I THINK I used this one.

Damn I hope you are correct...but IF new followers of crypto and BTC are needed in mass to pull this off..I'm uncertain...price could go sideways for months....also the FUD may be

coordinated in the sense as soon as the price of BTC goes up the 'knives come out' and as soon as it pumps...it is simply a bubble...

I am seeing a lot of FUD and angst among the various governments and banks and powers that be..it all comes down on IF HODL'ers like ME ...bail or not on BTC

as they say, it is likely to get worse before it gets better (4k btc at the real bottom say)

anyway, crypto allowed me to retire 3 years early, so if I have to spend it all and the price is driven down to say no more or less than $300 per BTC, I"m golden on my 'not taking

any traditional assets and health insurance dollars out until I"m 65 plan"...(don't really even have to do this..just seemed prudent) ...but it is a goal...so hell, might as well man up and follo

this to the end of the trail...

be it the moon or doom...for crypto and my BTC and alt stashes.....anyway, my logic may be flawed...but will go down HODL'ing....(or as much as I can pull off with above)

brad

Ack!

So is Sia-Tech still saying around the 1st of June 2018, for the miners to ship? Or has anything changed?

trying to stay more in the loop! (I've 5 of these 'hopefully not' doorstops in the wind)

brad

Debating getting one ...but then again my fuzzy math (a bit over) 50% to IRS anyway and 25% equip deduction in real cash applied to this years taxes (which I will have more

then enough for)

the risk is $225 above electric per unit....and they make what $4 a day maybe...sheesh..this is depressing..

so again my risk with my 'usual' set aside for the tax man... of 50% to the IRS and the state tax man (again a bit high with a 'cush') ..and that 25% equipment deduction

tempting price for a 'doorstop'...at again my tax angles and equip depreciation and of course the fact I'm mining more than a 2 dozen asic's (of many flavors)

as to newbies WITHOUT any large mining (my boat) or etc....my risk is like (with shipping/fees/etc) about 3 out of 4 it WILL work...your risk with REAL from the Job Income

and NO mining income to offset and IF you make enough for the 25% off taxes paid...is around 3 out of 4 of NOT working out...


also, this will only work for me at a certain level of mining income (which this year I've passed already...and of course crypto dumps and/for my capital gains etc)...

IF mining goes bye bye...my angles go away too...(back to hobby mining and heating the basement next winter)

thus I"M NOT SURE if it is worth getting for me!!...so only spend what you can afford....and keep that in mind when you read my posts on equipment

you reach a certain level of equipment and 'being stupid' has fewer consequences...then when I had 2 ASIC's in the basement...

anyway, still on the fence...likely they will be sold out by the time I get over pondering this...

stalling as a strategy can also be considered a 'wise' long-term strategy....but damn, hedging on what the heck prices for crypto are going to be ...is daunting...lately



brad

and the price is like Meh!

(LTC is a 'fickle' witch)

always keep the 'box' they work better as doorstops if you leave them in the cardboard box....(they slide easier)

(hey...don't throw stuff at me in bitcointalk!)

It is all a gamble on any asic equip now...last I looked a E3 did what 3.75 per day?

(could be wrong..trying to remember)

an L3+ (scrypt-pow) does 3.00 a day or some such

thus why NEW products like the E3 are being dumped (yesterday limit of 1) at $855

and today (limit of 5) at 800 (ship middle of JULY 2018)

so pick your poison...

price is droping on all alts and btc and to make it worse we have a GLUT of many ASICs of many flavors (blake2b, scrypt-pow, sha-256, x11, Eth, monero stuff) etc etc

tough times to be a newbie (w/o equip deductions on use of mining previous) ...yech.....being a newbie today would suck big time for that reason alone on looking at risk

on this stuff

anyway, IMHO...we may be looking at 'sideways' in price at best or a dump to 4k or a pump to 9k ....place your bets!

All evidence to the contrary..the rest of the market is pumping up 5% to 10% etc..

garlicoin is down 2%

not looking good
