301  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC reach 45k before this year ends. on: October 08, 2022, 05:56:12 PM
My crystal ball is dysfunctional too.....

I can't see or predict anything that would cause it to trade up until the end of the year.

I can clearly see that ALLOT more economic bad news and pain is coming. We know that this will drive bitcoin down ( and stocks et al).. Pretty much sideways/down until some dramatic changes.

Pretty much started before bitcoin. KYC and AML laws.

I guess it's how big a target you have made yourself.

If you could end up under the eye of the gvmt the bank will assist them handing over the contents of your box. When gold was made illegal (USA) safe deposit boxed provided zero protection. If the IRS thinks you are hiding x amount of dollars and they find this, I bet they could throw you in the klink until you cough it up.

If anyone but you knows you have money or keys at your home a safe won't matter. They hold a gun to your kids head until you open it.

Whether it's gold, silver, diamonds or cash keeping your mouth shut is the single most important AND hardest thing to do.

Never keep everything in one place. Split it up.

54kw... I forgot about the 1.73 rule. That said it gives .73  more available draw on the third leg. But the idea is will the utility see 130amp draw or will they see the lesser draw of the 600v. In ontario residential and commercial rates are the same unless you use 1mw or 0.5mw.

Utility side would see the same (minuscule difference). Ideally you would have your load balanced across the phases.

Bringing in 600 and stepping it down economics depend on many factors. The transformer cost and 3ph 600v panels/load boards and breakers are considerably more expensive. But have a lower copper cost so long runs could be a factor.  If your not getting a break on the kwh cost it may be better to bring it in at 230 and use commodity gear. You can also find 230v switchgear pretty cheap used / craigslist /ebay.



306  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: 3Ph 600v stped down to 3ph 240v on: October 04, 2022, 02:33:24 PM
Power is volts times amps. 130A 240V makes 31.2KW and at 208V that means 150 amps. From 600V it's 52 amps.


Across one phase.

Across three phase

130A at 240V 3phase

130 x 240 x 1.73 = 53,976 W

Great stuff! Ya 1% adds up what you put it that way.

Note I gave you some merits for following up keep posting and you will leave 'newbie' status. Grin
Nice thanks. Do you guys think oil cool step-down would be worth it? I know the transformer on the pole did not like me when it boiled its oil at -30. Mindyou it was a 30 year old unit. But this new one humms just as bad when I put 140amps to het 247 lol

Are you talking about the transformer off the feeder circuit? Air cooled high voltage transformers are not common.

Low voltage like 600 to 230 are almost all air cooled.

Humming is normal (cool fact, since the the cycle breaks zero twice the sound you hear is actually 120hz) if it makes a buzz thats laminated core coming apart.

The pumpers hurt us way more than the SEC.

They are in a position they have to be careful especially when behind the wheel of a public company, ask Elon.
310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is Falling on: September 26, 2022, 05:26:50 PM
Not financial advice.

CDA notwithstanding buying now and holding seems really stupid. The majority of the people pumping this idea probably bought high and caught up down low. Buying now as it goes down just ties up your assets.

The markets are going to really get bad, Brandon has F'd us big time. So as these markets tank the thing we wish bitcoin was, isn't a store of value or protection from inflation.  It's going to go down more, sell now and contribute to the down and then buy back in when your comfortable. Holding and hoping is wasting future profits. IF your in the long term awesome, buy it and set a calendar date to go look it. Watching it short term while planning long will drive you insane.

Previous performance dictates future actions. "Believing" "hoping" "wishing" are not economic words to use.

Think about selling now and jumping back in 30% lower and how much money that is down the road when it at ATH.

I'm out long ago as I hit my numbers. If I was in now I would sell and set a CDA plan into the beginning of the second quarter 2023. Enjoy the holidays, family throw the ball for the dog.

 
311  Economy / Speculation / Re: What can we expect from this statement of Michal Slayer.. on: September 22, 2022, 07:35:05 PM
Michael is extremally smart and his understanding of the technical/engineering design aspect is on point.

He has a strong vested interest in pumping the market. Seemed like he was cranking out vids on the daily.

Where he went off the road is trusting that the market would do the "right thing". It's not a viable storage of wealth (yet), it's a volatile invest. I use it to send money quickly with less fee's.

BTC pretty much tracks the tech sector and the fed, so as for now it behaves like a stock.

Eventually as it's market cap increase 4-5 more trillion via institution it may become a lone actor.

No clue on your legality, but could you buy a hosted solution not in your country?
313  Economy / Economics / Re: DAO & Electricity on: September 22, 2022, 02:11:48 AM
I do not think that home mining is relevant after merge, and large enterprises do not use the country's power grid, but build their own green energy plants or connect directly to large electricity producers.
The price of electricity includes services for the repair and renewal of the power system, if in the USA it is a private business, then they are obliged to comply with the laws, and not bring the situation to accidents.

Negative, they may own the substation as that's common with large consumers. I haven't seen any private generation of appreciable scale in the crypto arena.

316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is your diversification strategy? on: September 15, 2022, 05:30:12 AM
It is very important to diversify your investment. Invest in different categories, invest in different things, invest in different cryptos.  Because by investing in different cryptocurrency projects, even if one project fails, your entire investment will not be lost.Diversify your portfolio. so that 60% of your investment is in top cryptos.which have been in the market for a long time۔For example btc, ethereum, xrp, solana, dot, mana etc. you should buy more in them.Because these cryptos will be able to give very good returns in future.You can then invest 20 percent in risky cryptos where there is risk.Like Shiba Inu, Baby Doge. should not put too much money in such coins as they can give you more profit and there is risk of loss.Out of the remaining twenty percent investment, you can invest 10 percent in Metaverse tokens because people are very bullish about Metaverse۔The last 10 percent are for new projects or new tokens that have been launched recently.If they are successful, you can get very good profit.

In my minds eye this isn't remotely diverse. All in on one sector, no beano 
317  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Recycle uses of the heat from mining equipment. on: September 15, 2022, 02:23:24 AM
The issue with greenhouses is they tend to be humid, which is not good for miners. And during the hot summer months you need to get more heat and humidity out of the space.

This is the main problem with the heat, you need to get it out of the miner but at the same time you must be careful what air you get in also, so you will definitely need two circuits here, and then you have the distance if your greenhouse is like 50 meters from the room where you have the miners you need a lot of fans to push it, maybe dig a trench for the tubes so you don't lose that much heat but at the same time, you have to watch out if air goes above 30C not to ruin your plants, so another exhaust.

A lot of pain in the ass if you're working on small-scale stuff, might be really enjoyable as a hobby if you like this stuff but probably at one point you will get bored playing around all day with settings and temps and fan speeds depending on how sunny is outside.

Our green houses are fully automated. Exhaust fans, intake fans, heat, humidity, CO2 generators, lights, water and nutrition. I was going to use the output of the dehumidifiers to drive the ASICs as it's filtered as well. 
318  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Energy storage solutions? on: September 14, 2022, 03:58:03 PM
You need to run the numbers to see if it's economically feasible. Without subsidy the solar/storage thing is very expensive, especially in a constant high load situation.

Compressed air storage is MASSIVELY inefficient, it's a joke.

I think your best bets are to run it only during cheap hours or have it hosted at a facility with better power pricing.

319  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Recycle uses of the heat from mining equipment. on: September 14, 2022, 03:49:29 PM
We were going to use S19's to heat our greenhouses as we have super cheap power. But when we go to it the price of ASIC's tripled and not longer worked for us.

I'm excited about the new water cooled rigs, that can really make the heat energy useful.

Floor / baseboard heating, water heater, pool heater ground heating in greenhouses
320  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / What is your diversification strategy? on: September 14, 2022, 03:30:29 PM
Everyone's strategy is going to be different because of many many reasons.

But how does it fit into your portfolio? Are you taking profits and moving it to other sectors? Are you shaving some profits into metals? Bonds / TIPS?  Real estate?

IMHO BTC tracks stocks to close to call it diversified in my minds eye but do you have stocks? Maybe into a ROTH IRA or traditional (tax deduction).

How does BTC play into your balance or diversification?

What does your pie chart look like?
