This is not just a great/nice/good/best/awesome project, it's magic: this project might change the orientation of new babie coming into the crypto world
like, babies born sideways? sounds painful. |

fpga now worst than asic. already became nice doorstepper !   i dunno. fpga will never be best at any particular algo, but its very hard to outright doorstop them. they will always be able to mine some algo or another with a new bitstream, whereas asics are done for good once their particular algo is no longer used. |

We are talking independent exploration of Antarctica. You have a hard time with false equivalences.
You said there is a military blockade. I said let's go check it out, take some pictures. Chickening out now? $9000 plus flight tickets to Southern Argentina to take some photos of a place where 32 Antarctic station in vicinity. lol
That's like a coin and a half. To prove a massive conspiracy. Totally worth it I think. yeah cant all the nut jobs here pool some money and send a team? ~2 btc to prove it and become HEROS to the world to show its a conspiracy?? totally worth it. come on guys cough it up. |

well...just scrolled back and saw QuestionAuthority fire hosing merit all over the farm. nice
30 merits for that post?....that was generous to say the least. probably made his (ulrich's) day anyway.... 30 merits a word, or ~1.3 merit per letter. imagine what JJG would get for one of his typical posts at that rate.. |

Yeah I got the email too. I'm probably just going to get a refund now. I was disappointed that they didn't meet the original August deadline and in general how they been doing their updates on here or lack thereof.
im keeping mine, a 2x nest, couple 215+ and a 110. i never counted on even remotely nearing ROI, it was more to have new toys. but disappointing though. breaking even or better does makes new toys even more fun. |

I have mined over 2100 different coins in the past 2-3 years, follow up on about 95% of all suggestions made to me, and yes as a result of that get about 30 viruses a week, and lots of not so funny pop-ups, and each one i assess, briefly document (so hopefully i dont get fooled twice) and then move on. About 90% are scams or shitcoins, and I have found their is literally no way to find "the genuine one" without feeling that pain of going through each one of them.
i suppose if you have the free time to set up all those VMs or such, download all those wallets and blockchains and maintain them, and take all that risk to your coins and infrastructure, you could find the occasional nugget of gold. to me thats way to risky and time consuming. ill take reliability and simplicity. for the most part anyway. |

Even if he is not a good guy that was a good post. It is important for people to know that there are 35-36 new people that can give merit As a source. He mentioned it and gets my points.
Totally your judgement man. Not questioning that. I am just pointing out that it is unfair to hundreds of those posters who get lost in the din because someone like toheed2x spams 1000 reports in the time a serious poster would actually manage to post much less. If the post histories are taken as a reference, then at least the deserving ones get a better chance. Those who just "woke up because of rules change" should have to wait a little longer. I would just prefer that the "good guys" get more of a chance than the "not a good guys"..  So shared my opinion with you. until the backlog of "jr demoted to newb but did have the occasional good post in their history that was missed so not merited" people gets slogged through, this may look like some of us are too quick to merit someone who got demoted. but the whole point is (per theymos) all they need is ONE good(ish) post thats meritable and get their rank back. or be able to get to jr rank to begin with. although with some accounts ya gotta look pretty far back.. |

ok took a quick look through your post history, most was more or less on topic and intelligible, especially if english is not your native language. no real spam that i could see. so a merit for ya.

Bored bored bored bored bored.
yup im getting to the point of only checking the price every few days. soon it will be weeks between checks. wake me up out of my stupor if anything interesting happens ZZZzzzzzzz... |

perfect examples of how to sway a judge with "how good this person is" letters. and they seem to have worked. you know they will be studied by scammers everywhere as "must have tools" in their scam toolbox. |

I suggest thresholds of 10, 100, 250, 500, and 1000 merits and the certificates could award titles like "Member", "Full Member", "Sr. Member", "Hero Member", and "Legendary". The forum could even show those titles under the user name. It's a shame that theymos is too busy and will never implement this.
im quoting this so if theymos even implements it you get the credit and he cant claim the idea for himself. oh, wait.. |

Is it too obvious to think that everybody who still has BCH is going to dump it & convert to bitcoin which will pump the price of bitcoin?
Or is that stupid because there is likely to be a massive shortage of people wanting to buy BCH? Even the exchanges might de-list it?
i dumped the bulk of my bcash_lol very early on, kept maybe 20% for a while which i have sold off here and there since. i still have a bit left that ive played with trying to capitalize on its occasion PnD . i image many or most in this thread did similar. most bcash_lol folks seem to be too brainwashed to understand why its not a solution to scaling, i have a feeling many will just ride it into the ground. of course im sure the bcash_lol guys think the same of us  so yeah i guess the question remains: will those who do bail on bcash_lol dump it for btc? a random shitcoin? or exit crypto entirely for fiat/pm/whatever? |

Uranium-X is a Cpu Mineable coin
Does it split over time into other coins? most likely into even less stable coins that decay even more rapidly. |

Wait so it takes 4 and costs between 2-3.5k each?
i think he meant all 4 fpgas on the card are up and hashing. it has 4 fpgas per card, and that the card was 2-3k. of course i could be wrong heh. looks clean enough, mainly fpgas with a minimum of glue logic and power components. the future of fpga mining. |

Coldcard is a new product and only supports bitcoin: no altcoins. Trezor has been around for four years now, Ledger Nano S for two. Best to stick with well tested products with a good history IMO.
my view also. i use the trezor one for btc, and much later grabbed a nano s for alt coins (the few i have). i have a trezor model t also but am waiting before i put any significant amount in it just because i want to see it proven as good as the original trezor 1st. |

The Acorns are billed as accelerators in the main, so that wouldn't work so well.
i believe there is or was talk of at least one of them (the 215+ ?), may be able to mine on its own on some algo or another. but yes acorns are primarily a gpu accelerator. ive ordered some but not really paid much attention in their discord channel. |

im sure a lot of blockchains will be internal use only, used to keep track of the various company assets.
projects still can have internal competition and departmental/regional goals. and if some project just wanted private or internal participants, those participants would want a way to prove the percentage of work they contribute, no? possibly it could just be a list of blocks its found vs other participants.. but issued tokens would be a way too. those tokens could be valuable somehow, such as determining participation levels, bonus amounts, allocation of company funds, etc. the tokens and use thereof would be auditable proof on the owning departments or branches participation and used to vote on company agendas.
so, not a general cryptocurrency per se as it wont mean anything outside of that company, but cryptosomething at least. even if only usable within that company.
but, that would expend an awful lot of energy depending on what the chain uses to support it. ideally it could use an algorithm that would generate results beyond simply proof or work, something thats part simulation or something thats otherwise beneficial to the company.. tangible results that could be used for company research or simulations maybe. since its internal they should be able to audit the miners and algo etc to ensure none are cheating.
maybe even get to the point employees could use home equipment to mine the companies blockchain for compensation. but then its pretty much cryptocurrency again heh.
Here's the thing.. internal blockchains can/could be manipulated. With a few bad actors could could easily rewrite/forge some stuff. The incentive of a public blockchain is the BlockReward and the enconomic value that it brings when solving it. Therefore all actors must act in good faith otherwise they lose their value. oh i agree. in some sort of internal blockchain a company should use one or more (external?) central authority to monitor it and the contributing hardware. this might result in less errors (or straight up lying) in whatever inventory the blockchain represents, at least at the department level. but ultimately it just shifts the target for dishonesty and corruption over to the central controlling authority rather than the rank and file. ie departments might have a hard time faking product reports. im not saying private blockchains would work well in general, but possibly just give (even if only slightly?) better and inventory/product/asset control. or at least shift the potential for theft higher up the company food chain. it may make it harder for the rank and file folks to be dishonest, and management to have a more accurate view of the company. now they only have to trust the central authority that monitors it all. but who watches the watchers heh. all in all its just private blockchain vs database. they are administered differently, the corruption risks are shifted around a bit. perhaps companies with widely separated facilities may have fun trying this out so they can keep an eye on each other better. good luck. |
