If you were trying to create a haiku.. you didn't count correctly.

Maybe something like this would have had worked better:

First after the Halving
Holders holding the future
Casey missed the ride.

For folks who want to just run medium mode or want to see if the stand alone unit (no PSU) comes sooner, I think I found a pretty cool product for only $34. It's rated 28V/5A and comes with 2 USB-C ports (my thinking was running two nanos from this)!

***----> Actually now that I'm thinking about it, 140W rating though not going to be enough. I think conservatively if you are running medium mode, you should plan for at least 90-100W allocation per unit. Maybe someone can chime in and confirm this. If I can find one of these with a higher rating, I'll update.

Happy to see folks trying to get T21 to work on single phase. We've done this on a couple of test rigs and can't really tell a performance/efficiency difference between T21 and S21.
Yet the T21 is considerably cheaper, and comes with a Bigger PSU.
One issue I've encountered is that after you change the PSU and power bars, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to cover the power bars etc, since T21 does not come with a PSU cover piece.

Bitcoin mining fees has increased considerably today after halving but there are no effect on bitcoin prices. I suggested some friends to invest before and they are blaming me for the suggestion. I told them to wait for final effect as it can take some days for effect on prices but they are impatient.

Eventually some kind of "learning effect" will set in. For example, the ICO market is already much less hyped than it was in 2018. The NFT market is in problems since 2022, only having re-surged temporarily in 2023 due to Ordinals, but on Ethereum its status seems quite bleak. The memecoin market is also bearish, even looking at longer timeframes. Shiba Inu for example had a pump, but its high of slightly less than $0.00004 was far away from SHIB's ATH in 2022 ($0.00008), and now it's already closer to 0.00002, having lost 40%. Even Doge, which has some more "intrinsic" value because it's running on its own blockchain, and even has its own Ordinals clone (sort of, as it uses an older technology), hasn't reached even half of its ATH in 2021.

So in general I think these hypes will be smaller in each wave. It's likely that some of the halving day rune collectors will make a profit, but I'm almost sure most won't. I admit that the relative persistence of the BRC-20 hype during most of 2023 surprised me, I believed it to be shorter. But there is a lot of blood in the streets (ORDI, the "most established" of the BRC-20's, lost 50% of its ATH already), and each of these waves will see more disappointed bagholders. Eventually, the market will collapse, not to 0 but to the same low-level state the Ethereum ICO market is now.

In general I think also that even compared to most "normal" altcoins the Rune/BRC-20 value proposition is very thin. There is often not even a website, not even some technobabble to create illusions

I am constantly experiencing HW errors on the Antminer S19 unit, even with adequate cooling and setup. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so, what steps have you taken to resolve these errors?

Even though technology looks promising than other sectors, you need to know if we're currently suffering tech winter.

I don't believe most Gen Z are freelancers than working on sites, even the jobs can be done from away, but most of companies will ask them to work on sites because they don't want the market value of their buildings loss due to low traffic.

Erase seniority! both Boomers and Millennials make Gen Z has no place to get promoted or they receive the same salary but bear more responsibility.

Thought of one other question for DaveF, philipma1957, or anyone in possession of these Nanos.

Sound/noise wise, how would you say the Nano 3s compare to say the Nvidia 3090s or a high end GPU. Much louder or about the same? Thanks.

Appreciate the info sharing. Thank you as it's very helpful. I'm getting a bunch of these as my theory is BTC prices going much higher in the future.

Do you by chance have a meter that you really like which tracks your total kw usage? It's been a few years since I tore down my GPU rigs and sold everything but from my recollection, I think I had a kw meter directly plugged in first to my 30 AMP outlet adapter and from there going into this, I plugged in a 30A 30 outlet power rack mount, so I was able to get an aggregate kw output number. But now I'm not so sure if this is exactly what I actually did.  Cheers.

Sorry, but it is irrelevant as you don't know the future trajectory of mini.
Example: it could trade at a premium and since GBTC trades with no discount, you still come out ahead. For example, ibit trades between 0.84% discount and 0.98% premium. Same for FBTC.
That's almost 2% range. I know...the snickering must continue regardless of facts, lol.
However, ask yourself: how relevant is this when we go up/down 5% a day?

Can repair this hash board?

i clean three hashboard ,  hasboard one is fail  ? electronic components are burned

my miner btc avalon can job with only two hasboards?  

I'm surely fine with that, but what the fee/tx RUNE (iirc) madness does (aside from being a stupid game), is:

1. slowing adoption (even if companies offer LN, when they regularly sync to the main chain, the fees are more of a loss)
2. degrading performance (from a use-case-of view, not a nonsense-case-like-RUNE-of view)
3. bring bad news about BTC, which is not always bad, as we know, but makes new investors overthink their planned investments.

Look at it like that: Cars are made for bringing you from A to B in a convenient, fast and personal way. Now, someone propagates a stupid trend (remember one or the other challenge hype)to attach your household waste to random cars, to get it away. Would you feel good if your and every other's car is driving around with litter bags tied to their back several times a day? You'd have to get rid of the stuff at your own cost, effort and time.
I would be annoyed as fuck, honestly. But this is just what is happening, Gen-Z-ers are encouraged to tie their waste to Bitcoin blocks by someone exploiting that stupid Ordinals concept, just because it hasn't got any other valuable use.
This is what happens if developers don't overthink the consequences of their solutions. You know the old saying "the solution became the problem"? (or something like that)

I may sound angry, but i am just feeling a bit surprised, but not in a positive way.
Opportunism, like using shitcoins, including fiat money, seems to help to get by, but who really wants that compromise?
Not me, for sure  


Hellow, fellow  
I didn't stay awake, either...

The miners who did not take periodic halving effects into account in their business calculations (some won't even have had a clear vision of how long they plan to profitably run this), they may well be concerned in the face of rising hashing difficulty. Then there was the rise of energy prices, inflation and so on, which set back some newer mining companies in their profits to extend their business. It's always those unforseen events (black swans) that cause a lot of unfavorable side-effects. If you don't think about such, you remain with "the pants pulled down" in such situations (while all the others are able to run away)  

Aaand, you know the media. They put up their (horror) stories, and then they are looking for ways to sell them to the public. What's really going on behind the media narratives might be very different.

People can use it, blocks are mined, and transactions are confirmed, it's just that it's not cheap and the ones paying more are favored.
Ordinals or no ordinals the same would have happened if you would have had 100 million trying to use it daily.
Demand and offer!



Loll, I didn't realize there is an extra, I thought it was 3,600 not 3,600,000.
This poor guy, despite spending $510,768 he didn't had the most expensive tx in sat/vb.
Imagine his disappointment.
