if the price keeps dropping we might have to sell them for food

today its thanksgiving in the usa so in the spirit of the holiday  i will forgo the usual "fuck JJG" thing today.

i will, however, do it twice next thursday.

i dunno, i prefer lots of 10" drivers in bass cabinets. faster response than 15"s because of the lower mass. gives more punch.

but cabinet design and driver specs makes a difference too, so it depends i guess.

well, just got an email from squirrel, my two 215+, 101, nest4x and nest2x have tracking labels printed.

what does the status say for the acorns in the minority store account? did it change from paid to something else?

also when did you order?

click "receive" in the top row of icons. then click "request payment" where all those blank fields are. you can leave them blank, or use the  "label" field if you want to give that addy a name. once you click "request payment" a box will pop up with a qt code and the addy will be under that. just copy/paste it.

i do. of course i did sell a bunch but still have coins i mined from 2011. cost basis for many was around $2 USD. i think those were 2012 coins. they were in a paper wallet for years, then transferred out to another wallet to claim the bcash_lol. they still sit in that wallet.

i know this because i use many separate wallets to keep coins more or less organized.. some for mining payouts, some for coins i buy from exchanges. and others. including my original btc core wallet created in 2011 and still currently running on my desktop. i still use it on occasion, but its mainly trezors that see the most use now.

you mean the acorns or the bcu1525?

on discord they showed  a lot of acorns supposedly ready to ship. and they really havent given hard numbers so unless its a huge drop i figure they would just ship.

there was some firmware (or something) issue they found last minute that would be hard to field update so they will update there, then ship.

i think they said they will not release the acorns till the miner software is ready. maybe its not ready.

no matter what the reason, it sure is late.

some have claimed a fedex label has been created (in house) but that doesnt mean squat till they are picked up.

my acorn orders are from july, and i have got any email as far as when it will go out. at the mineority store they just sit as "paid."

disappointing for sure but i was prepared for huge delays. wanted new toys and took the chance.
oh well. im sure i will get them but how profitable they will be remains to be seen. but the fun and learning factor stays the same no matter when they arrive.

i believe they are only shipping the passive cooled bcu1525s. the ones with active cooling (such as mine) are still being assembled.

of course.

coins for say gambling or porn i wont buy. not because i think they are evil, or never gambled or looked at porn, but i just dont really support such a specialized coin. i dont think they should not exist however.

just a personal rule of mine, and i pass no judgement on those that use them. live and let live is my motto.

i think those that did not report crypto gains will be definitely audited at some point. even exchanges that did not initially require kyc at the beginning and then do so at some point will now have your history just waiting for the irs (or whatever form it exists where you reside) to request it.

i have reported my crypto to the irs for 4 years. 1st couple years were "best faith effort" as i had no real records for exchanges that went down. last couple years i kept better records and used bitcoin.tax to get a more accurate report. then i hand it to my cpa and let him sort it out.

i have not been audited but then again im small time.

i think their 1st priority is those they find reported nothing and suddenly kyc comes along at some point and bites them in the ass.

while i dislike tax laws on crypto, its better to be a good boy to the irs. they have absolute power to ruin your life. i have no desire to mess with them as its better to be a sheeple in some situations as opposed to trying to save a few bucks and ruin my wife and my future.

after all what good is crypto gains when the irs can confiscate everything you own, and do so without due process of law. you dont stand a chance once the irs starts gunning for you.

yeah i mined btc on a few gpus at just over break even cost ~2012 and hodled. paid off nice later. of course past results dont mean anything today. but it worked then.

now? who knows. if a rig is paid for and its mining at or better than electric, why not keep it chugging along.

EDIT: im not in the big boy club, just a hobby miner.

right

now that image will be with me all day

i may have to see a therapist

yup shows now for me too. thanks for the heads up.

"cat in the hat" - now that dr seuss thing is stuck in my head. great.. just..  great

NICE!  my cat and i are admiring the avatar image now. much purring on his part, much grinning on my part.

thanks!

EDIT thought i changed it.. it shows in one part of my profile, but not in another, and not in this post.

cat is not amused at my forum skilz. i will pay later, its in his eyes. doomed i am

the word on discord looks to imply shipping this week. we shall see.

my initial orders in mid july were for two 215+, a 101 and a nest2x . so hoping im earlyish in the que if they ship in order of purchase.

EDIT: viewing my orders just now the acorns show "September batch" heh

RE: hat

after much discussion with my cat, he has opined that his image cannot be smaller than any other image in the avatar. so having his image reduced to fit on a badge on a hat is out.

he will deign however to wear a genuine WO hat on his head though. will that be possible? a hat with the BTC logo for him to wear?

NOS??    NOOooooo
