Acho que nunca tinha visto uma sequência de "infelicidades" tão grande em um projeto
Eu tenho como parâmetro o axie, que era o projeto que participei antes, mas nele não havia visto esse grau de negatividade que está rondando o Stepn

Eu vivi o crash de 2018, nesse tempo foi bem difícil, mas olhando todo o cenário atual, parece que estamos pior e que ainda vai piorar mais um bocado, já faz um tempinho que estamos só com notícias ruins e queda.
O que eu tiro de lição é suportar até melhores dias, só continuar e no caso do stepn, eu consegui tirar o meu investimento, vou continuar andando, evoluindo meu tênis, vez ou outra eu pego uma mistery box e dou sorte.
Vamos ver onde vai dar.
Se eu vender agora não adianta nada, se eu continuar andando, continuo fazendo meus exercícios e um dia melhora, até lá terei juntado uma quantidade boa de GMT, terei meus tênis e uns kgs perdidos.

Opa, só vi agora seu post, mas muito obrigado pelos parabéns, quero fazer um sorteio sim, mas preciso esperar um tempinho de alta, porque esse mercado bear está me deixando mal das pernas

Coincidência, acabei de ver no twitter um tópico sobre isso e vi seu tópico agora

Não tenho estômago pra comprar e ficar na agonia, confesso que não sei todos os detalhes, mas vi que o stETH é lastreado 1:1 na Beacon Chain e supostamente não teria problemas algum se você esperar, o que aconteceu agora é mercado secundário negociando.
Está todo mundo com medo por causa dos acontecimentos recentes, e a trend ainda continua, qualquer "depegged" or "death spiral" o pessoal pira e perde a razão rapidamente

Vou te dar merit pelo trabalho de escrever o tópico, mas coragem não tenho de entrar 

8700K is a little outdated, but someone building a cheap gamer PC could buy, it's 6/12 and perform very well in games due to high frequency

11800 I suppose it's 11800h, a laptop cpu, and I don't think you can sell without selling whole laptop

It's good and strong CPUs, but not for mine anymore. Ryzen was / is better to mine Monero and Raptoreum for example, but now it's not anymore, there's no profits to make unless in rare cases you have solar energy or 1cent electricity 

You can sell 8700K, and 11800h you can sell if you are not using your laptop anymore

I know it's tempting to mine with GPUs and CPUs to have maximum profits, but CPUs are only profitable in short periods of time, mostly in a bull run and at the lauch of the coin.

As we are saying, Palmeiras is one of 3 strongest teams in Brazil right now and probably the favorite of Libertadores

Take a look at Brasileiro table:



Palmeiras is leading again, in Brasileiro and Libertadores with the best campaign so far...

I lost my bet on Goias, I was sure it can beat Fortaleza, but the match was a draw, I lost 50 BRL hehehe, now I have to recover my loss, and I'm studying what to do
Probably I'll bet on Corinthians, the odd is 1.70



To recover my 50 loss, I need to bet more or less 80 BRL  

I don't know if you already have something to start, like a PC with free PCIe slots, but considering the moment of ETH POS, I suggest you to look for Nvidia cards.
You can mine ETH right now and them you will have a better option to mine another coins, Nvidias are better than AMD on another algos.

500w you can run 3x RTX 3070 for example, or 1x RTX 3080 and 1 RTX 3070, there's a lot of great combinations
Right now I don't think it's a good idea to go with AMDs

If you want more info about BTC mining and Asics, it's better to ask in: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=14.0

Maybe you're right, there's a chance we already are in the bottom of market (to be fair, the bottom of ETH until now, in this season is 1,724 USD for ETH and 26,782 USD for BTC), and a good plan should consider all possible scenarios, and this side market is one of them
What's hard to predict right now, harder than prices, is the merge / POS ETH, everything is going well until now, we can expect this year, but:

Something can go wrong, and can be postponed again, this is commom to ETH
Merge can happen this year and ETH dump instead of pump, due to unlock of staked coins
No one knows a future for miners without ETH, is there any coin there will be pumped and supported by miners?

Thanks, I received the second week payment, and my signature is already updated, I liked this new one  

Just a reminder, not all of these cards are able to mine ETH due to dag size

Here's a chart, interesting to see:


Source: https://minerstat.com/dag-size-calculator

So, 1060 3gb, RX 570 and 580 4Gb models are not able to mine eth anymore.

1060 lauch date was 2016, and RX 580 and 570 was 2017
It's almost time to retire 

I find hard to answer because you didn't post more details here

How about your electricty costs?
If you have cheap electricity, let's say 5 cents, you can continue to mining
If you are running with solar, no reason to shutdown...

And your situation?
Maybe you need money to invest in something else, maybe you want to have cash for a possible (even more) bear market to buy coins

But generally speaking, it's becoming hard to mine even with newer cards, you have a lot of options

Sell these cards (again, I don't know how many you have) and buy new cards, like 3070 or 3080 and continue to mine
Sell these cards to buy BTC doing DCA
You can put Nicehash and let the app decides what's to mine

I only think that shutdown and wait is not the best idea, because cards will lose value, even for gamers...

Que legal, recomendo a todos que estão no projeto ou querendo entrar a ler o artigo com as novas mecânicas de jogo.
E saiu, agora vamos ver se o pessoal para um pouco de reclamar que as coisas estão acontecendo

No update de sexta pra sábado foi um terror, geral falando que se decepcionou, e o mesmo choro de sempre, mas teve bastante coisa boa:

Anti cheating, novo custo de mint, scrolls, queima de tênis...
Eu confesso que fiquei aflito lendo muita coisa por aí, não por mim, mas de como as pessoas reagem instantaneamente a qualquer coisa, e se aguardasse só uns dias, veria que as coisas estão sendo feitas, medidas tem sido tomadas

Ontem também fiz meu último mint, pensando que hoje ia ter mais um, mas fui surpreendido 

Sure, it's not a certain thing, even in a matches you are sure, nothing is 100% and there's always a probability.
The odds of gambling web sites are the closest we have for a match, the closest math method to predict correctly a game.

I don't know if I understand correct your thought, but the randomness you're saying, for me, are some variables like:

• Human factor, the player is motivated enough that day? Is he/she feeling good?
• Climate factor, maybe in some hot places younger players will have more stamina to play, or in a rainy day for example
• For brazilian soccer, we have some peculiar things like players simulating foul all the time, we have rivalry that I doubt other place has, like Corinthians vs Palmeiras again, a player from Corinthians can't wear anything green, otherwise the fans will complain a lot about that player
• South American have a word that I can't find a good similar in english: "catimba", and we brazilians can do this too, and how can predict these things?

Above I just said some surface stuff, there's much more to dig, if you want to discuss more I'll be happy to know other variables

Now I see clearly, I didn't know you are here since that time and that incident. You've been cautious since them, you're calling bear market soon enough to not maximize your gains, but soon enough to not get burned 



Can I ask why bought 2x high end cards, paying to change thermals but not to mine?
I'm just asking because SLI is not an option anymore so it doesn't make sense to buy more than 1 card 
Confess, you're a miner and bought cards to mine 

---

Are you really willing to buy cards in a crash, let's say like you "in the real bear"?
I ask that because I see a lot of people saying that will buy cards or coins when it's cheaper, but when the crash comes, only a few have courage to buy
For example, rx480, 470 were dumped a few years ago, pretty cheap, and I saw some guys buying to gaming pc, but I did not see someone buying to mine, because there were no profits to be made...

And Goias won 2 x 0, leaving the demoting zone.



I see the classic matches only a gamble to have fun, not a match to calculate the odds and bet heavily, because there's many many variables only we brazilians know hehe, a classic Corinthians vs Palmeiras is a fire match, with even some fight, literally fight 


It's competive enough to not have any clue right now who's stronger, just 2 points separating the 1st place

I found a good match to bet (at least for me, not financial advise):


I'll bet on Goias, and these are the reasons why:

1 - Goias got a draw against Palmeiras, Atlético MG and Bragantino, 3 strong teams, with 2 favorites to win the championship
2 - Goias won against Santos and Botafogo, 2 another strong teams, so we can conclude Goias are playing in a good level, and the matches until now are hard, against stronger teams
3 - Now Goias will face Fortaleza, the last team on table, and the focus is Libertadores right now

So I think 6.25 is an incredible odd to take the risk

Hehehe, you consider all altcoins equal?

I know it's pretty hard to keep altcoins in a long term portfolio, and many will end with a bag of coins
In 2017 - 2018 I had a lot of cards and I put 1 or 2 to only mine unknown coins to keep and sell after some time, expecting to be like ETH worthing a few dollars and them more than 100 USD at that time, and I ended with a bag of coins like I said above 

BUT there are projects of coins, like BNB and SOLANA as you said as a scam coin, who are supported by exchanges, and in my opinion we can't put in the same category of another coins, because it's a coin people will use daily to pay fees on the exchange or to run a game, example of Solana, and Polygon is another coin. There's as incentive to use
Just my opinion, and I don't like POS coins

Raven coin is a project I thought would be dead right now, but even 4 years later people are still mining and supporting the project, ETC classic is another example for me, a coin holding some value even after some cycles.

O que eu vejo que acontece (e aconteceu), é que o jogo ou projeto sofre com o próprio sucesso
Foi avassalador o que o Axie fez, trouxe gente que nem sabia o que era cryptos para esse mundo, fez pessoas jogarem mesmo sem ter o dinheiro de investimento com as escolinhas, gerou uma atenção enorme, nos países como as Filipinas gerou uma comoção ainda maior. Muitas pessoas que conheço vieram me perguntar sobre esse tal jogo que dava dinheiro.

Como administrar tudo isso de uma vez só? Como fazer o usuário se manter jogando e ativo em um jogo de cartas que até aquele momento era bem simples?
Talvez se mantivesse os retornos pré pump, por exemplo, de tirar 300 reais num mês, poderia ter durado mais tempo e o crescimento ser bem gradativo e mais tranquilo, mas se tem dinheiro para ser feito, alguém vai fazer e escalar até secar o pote

Qual seria o limite de controlar a economia do jogo?

Daqui a pouco você vai virar andarilho e vai atravessar os países de pé mesmo, sponsored by STEPN 

Cara, 3 horas é bastante coisa, eu não daria conta no momento, consegui meus 70 minutos mais uns minutos para sair da pista etc, mas no outro dia foi mais sofrido, hoje já fiz a caminhada tranquila nos meus 50 minutos.
Uma coisa que nunca dei muita importância mas estou considerando no longo prazo é comprar 1 tênis bom mesmo para a caminhada, mais específico, e também tem que ser patrocinado por Stepn.

Uma curiosidade, quantos Km deu em 3 horas?




É por isso que mesmo tendo os contras, os problemas e sabendo que nenhum projeto é eterno, eu acredito que o STEPN pode dar um "passo" a mais que nenhum outro projeto conseguiu que está sendo ligar o mundo real no virtual de uma forma muito legal e compensadora.
Eu perder peso me fez muito feliz e orgulhoso de mim mesmo, eu precisava desse empurrão, e não deve ser só eu que pensa assim e mesmo se for só uns troquinhos lá na frente, ainda quero continuar no projeto e quero dar o suporte.

Nicehash, most of the time will reward you less than mining ETH directly

With Nicehash, you're renting your hashing power to another people, so it's normal to receive a bit less than mining directly
If you have 8x RTX 3080s for a year, I suggest you to try by yourself to change and mine ETH right now, I don't know why didn't you try 

You can use Gminer, NBminer or PhoenixMiner, and for the pools you can use Ethermine or Flexpool.
If you are familiar with Polygon network, use Ethermine because it's quick to receive your payment, and you can compare with Nicehash
If you need some guidance, just ask

And another tip, you can adjust your overclock, because at least you can get 95Mhs without too much stress on your cards, but most people achieve 99 to 100Mhs 

Considering only the Fifa World Cup of clubs since 2000 (before it's Toyota Cup, and only 1 match), so the "official" is from 2000 until now

We have the south american champions:

• 2000 - Corinthians (2nd place was Vasco da Gama)
• 2005 - Sao Paulo (2nd place was Liverpool)
• 2006 - Internacional (2nd place was Barcelona)
• 2012 - Corinthians (2nd place was Chelsea)

After the Fifa layout since 2000, only a few teams of South American won against European teams and all of them are Brazilians

Santos with Neymar in 2011 only "watched" Barcelona, it was 4x0, distant from Santos from Libertadores who won with merits, with Neymar, Paulo Henrique Ganso and others, I want to credit que excelent year of the coach Muricy Ramalho.
It looks like Santos had so many players in young ages, and they are not experienced enough to control the anxiety and happiness to play the world cup against Barcelona
But don't forget Barcelona that year had Guardiola, V. Valdés, Piqué, D. Alves, Puyol, Iniesta, Messi and many others hahaha

In the recent years Flamengo and Palmeiras were the favorites to win again a world cup, but they didn't get
