The consumption of a large city in Russia up to a million people is about 1000 megawatts
Ok but there is a huge difference between consumption and actual supply, of course in places where it's cold most of the time and the main source for heating is gas, the need for power is pretty limited which is pretty much the case for the majority of Russia, but that doesn't mean the high-voltage grid is limited to that, there could be a power station able to deliver 5000MW but only 1000MW of that is used, the available 4000MW can be somehow easily deployed for mining operations. The thing about mining is that it cares less about the location, usually, the issue with electricity is transmission rather than generation, to transfer that 4000MW to the nearest city it's going to be a very expensive job, but it's easier to bring your mining containers next to the source of power in the middle of nowhere. Now this begs the question, is Russia limited to power generation or just transmission? YEAH those high power transmission line are very costly to build and lose energy for every 10 miles a lot of power is lost.
a 380 to 400 kv line vs a 745kv line from wiki: 'For example, a 100 mi (160 km) span at 765 kV carrying 1000 MW of power can have losses of 0.5% to 1.1%. A 345 kV line carrying the same load across the same distance has losses of 4.2%'. from wiki
5.0 mega watts at best to 42.0 megawatts at worst is a lot of power to lose for a short transport (100 miles is short for Russia) |

"If God had meant us to fly he'd have given us wings." It is cruel to demand from the euro what is impossible for its kind.  Thanks for a morning chuckle |

Choosing favorites from all generations and manufacturers and models which I've tried... Oof that is a tough question! I'm gonna reply with my current gut feeling and say Antminer S2 and Avalon 841! I liked the big 19" server case and big cards in S2, it cooled very effectively with not much fan speed/noise. The size of it is also an important memory, I really felt being in the mining biz when I had such a big box in the shelf! A841 I like it for all the tweaking I've done with it and its tank like structure. A841 were nice good downclock make them quiet. Spondollies sp10 good down clock and quiet. |

well if btc is 30k a 6.25 block with 0.15 rewards = 6.4 coins or 192k these numbers do work
it is likely the .15 in rewards is up due to Ordinals and Nfts.
If btc is 60k a 3.125 block with 0.075 in rewards = 3.2 coins or 192k these numbers work
and I dropped out 0.075 in rewards with the assumption that ordinals and nfts reduce due to lack of demand this will hopefully be all true in 2024
So we could be okay for a few more jumps. Without nfts or ordinals
But 2028 120k a 1.56125 block with 0.075 in rewards.
problems start showing. the 20 mill x 120k = 2.4 trillion value and for the numbers to be okay
difficulty needs 50% growth and efficiency should go from 29 watts to 20 watts per th.
The value of your protection will have went up a bit but price of coins is 4x/
It just get wonky when you project into the future.

... and only 84 blocks into the diff so the numbers mean absolutely nothing but it calcs to -22.45% lol 139 into this jump https://www.bitrawr.com/difficulty-estimatorLatest Block: 786378 (6 minutes ago) Current Pace: 87.9583% (139 / 158.03 expected, 19.03 behind)Previous Difficulty: 47887764338536.25 Current Difficulty: 48712405953118.43 Next Difficulty: between 42995799881235 and 47865082564807 Next Difficulty Change: between -11.7354% and -1.7394% Previous Retarget: Yesterday at 5:52 AM (+1.7220%) Next Retarget (earliest): May 4, 2023 at 11:59 AM (in 13d 3h 47m 10s) Next Retarget (latest): May 6, 2023 at 3:52 AM (in 14d 19h 39m 39s) Projected Epoch Length: between 14d 6h 7m 28s and 15d 21h 59m 56s Copy stats to clipboard 12.04% off or 19 blocks off. lets see this in 139 more blocks we would need be 38 blocks off then 139 more and 57 blocks off three days starts a trend. price is off a bit 28k |

It depends what metal you use.
The general advice if going for a metal back up is to use stainless steel, since this gives a good balance between hardness, fire proof, corrosion proof, as well as cost. In general, stainless steel is a very poor conductor of electricity and poorly magnetic when compared to most other metals, and can often go undetected by metal detectors, especially if it is very small in size. If you are very concerned about such an attack, then just use two or more paper back ups in different geographical locations. This is generally better than a single metal back up anyway.
I have to say though, if you have a thief in your house using a metal detector to find your metal back up, then your op-sec has spectacularly failed and everything you have is probably at risk by that point.
Yeah I would think 5 dollar wrench would be next at that point. |

And I like chocolate and I like mint. So win win win. Oh some typical US polly bs. https://www.yahoo.com/news/fears-banking-crisis-surged-members-114128107.html"As Fears of Banking Crisis Surged, Members of Congress Sold Bank Shares" They simply should not have a stock while in office. Only I bonds nothing else while they serve us. ( Yeah right serve us) FUCKING POLLYS ONLY could find three of the eight they said did it. 2 D's 1 R's Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla Rep.

Sounds completely unrealistic? Yes, it does! Is it actually real? Yes, it is! Can even be applied at country level? Definitely! Sri Lanka planning to send 1,00,000 toque macaque monkeys to ChinaCash-strapped Sri Lanka is considering exporting up to 100,000 endangered monkeys to China, the agriculture minister said Wednesday, raising concerns among conservationists.
The toque macaque is endemic to Sri Lanka and common on the island but is classed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list. Sri Lanka bans almost all live animal exports and the proposed sale comes as it faces its worst-ever economic crisis. No financial details were made available.
"They want the monkeys for over 1,000 zoos they have across China," Agriculture Minister Mahinda Amaraweera told AFP.
"I have appointed a committee to study the request and see how we can do this." Of course, there are a few questions about it and darker aspects of this: - I don't know how a species that numbers over 1 million can be considered endangered, but let's leave it like that - even if they have 1000 zoos that means 100 monkeys of the same species for each zoo and that is just not real - what they are going to do for real with them, and most hint at labs testing, which stops being funny - how much of the debt will be really erased for this? But nevertheless, Sri Lanka is in so much debt that it needs either cash or a way to pay out its debts to China so, probably for the first time in human history monkeys will be used en masse to pay for a portion of that debt, giving a whole new meaning to the term "monkey business". At $4000 per monkey (google sources) that would make about $400 000 000 (in theory, not including costs), around 5% of the 7 billion they have in debt with China. So, do you feel like you could show up at your bank and hand them two or three monkeys to cover your mortgage? mmm monkey meat 🍖. Had it in the Philippines. 1000 x 100 = 100,000 so 900,000 left for barbecue 🍗. So knocking off 5% is not much for all that monkey meat. Are Sri Lankians moslem faith if they are not maybe they have pigs to send to China. I am going to check on that. 90.3 % not moslem which means they have pigs. China lost .5 billion pigs in 2019 maybe they will sell pigs. They also have the highest quality cinnamon. https://www.amazon.com/Organic-Ceylon-Cinnamon-Powder-Resealable/dp/B07MHX96HW/ref=asc_df_B07MHX96HW? |

the testing was done so the action slowed down.
btc blocks at 6.25 have had stretches of fees at 1-2 btc a block.
Most of those high fee time periods were testing ways to manipulate the fee structure 8n such a way that a pool can turn a bigger profit by making fees get too high.

So new diff is 48.7 vs 47.8
a 1.72% jump
price is down just a bit.

A typical company earns BTC to pay for the power.
as long as they have a predictable income that they know 100% sure they can pay for the power by using unrealized income then ok. but you don't go into a convenience store and eat a candy bar and then try and pay for it but then complain about the tax saying you can't afford it... In this case it simply increases your electricity cost by 30%, so decreases your profit, and increases tax revenue from you.
what's wrong with that? Read the topic:
yeah to kickstart a discussion. guess who created this thread. oops maybe it wasn't me this time.  Your philosophical opinions of types of taxes are not the topic.
It's a simple - more tax, less revenue directed at mining.
it's not a tax it would be an excise tax. get your facts straight...  buying a candy bar doesn't harm the environment and contribute to higher electricity prices for everyone and also contribute to global warming. you still pay sales tax on the candy bar but an excise tax ON TOP OF THAT would be unnecessary. excise taxes really aren't taxes at all, they are penalties for doing something bad that contributes to negative outcomes in the real world. therefore if someone insists on doing that activity they should be responsible enough to pay up for the damages they are causing don't you think? Using btc mining profits to build solar arrays does not hurt the environment. we have built three arrays with btc profits. 45k 115k 275k comes to over 2 mega watts a day. I should not be treated like a piece of shit coal based miner polluting like mad to burn coal. I should pay -10% on my power bill and coal based miners should pay 30% on their bill. |

I am curious. I have two 4090s and am curious to know what my hashrate would be.
Thanks!
.5gh was the old amd 7900 cards my guess is 8x that which is 4gh this is merely a guess may be low so lets revise to 4gh-8gh an old s9 does 14,000 gh a s17 does 50,000 gh a s19 does 100,000 gh point to cfx octopus algo on nicehash and convert to btc. btw not to be discussed in btc section. it is considered an altcoin subject. |

Happy to say full recovery zero pain very happy I did it.
I was very motivated because I saw what happened to my dad and my father in law due to the both of them waiting far too long to do it.

Right now the main difference between communication from natural language models and communication from humans is that natural language models are capable of displaying empathy and kindness while humans clearly are not. Whenever I try to communicate something serious to a human like about how universities promote violence against me, the humans invariably respond with asinine hatred. Since humans are incapable of displaying compassion while AI system are currently capable of faking compassion, we need to go full speed ahead towards developing AI models to replace humanity because humanity is clearly not worth it. AI systems are clearly more capable of showing compassion and kindness than humans are even though they have their flaws. We should therefore go full speed ahead towards developing better AI systems in order to replace all of humanity because humans only deserve punishment and extinction. One should therefore invest in reversible computing technologies so that we obtain AI systems that are better than humans. If this causes the extinction of humanity, we should all take comfort in the fact that humanity is a flawed species that does not deserve to be here.
So only prefect species will survive. I have read that the ameba is quasi immortal. It reproduces via fisson/clone action so it never really dies. So it is the oldest continuously living species on earth. I could give two shits about the end of the human race . Extinction kind of happens to all but single cell animals. |

Offord does hundreds of thousands of dollars in crypto business .
I personally have purchased ten-fifteen thousand in business with him.
I referred a gpu buyer to him that spent over 10000 usd in gpus.
No way is he going to post a malware link it is not how he operates.
Now do I know this is offord asking to be renewed I am not sure but When I get home to my pc and off this crappy ipad (4-5) hours I can contact him on other platforms.
i will get back to this thread around 10pm..
I can ask a question right now that is safe and only Offord could answer it.
Offord do you remember the mix up we had with gear you shipped to me a few years ago?

No wonder Coinbase are threatening to leave the USA with this wishy washy unclear nonsense. Gensler is the embodiment of modern day BS. Any state official can bend wishy washy rules to whatever is suited in an agenda, rather than offer clear compliance targets businesses can operate under. What we have is claptrap waste of time assholery in all levels of government, tax laws and finance laws. I do not make 1,000,000 a year mining ⛏️ Most years I make under 50,000 a year. My USA federal return has been over 100 pages for 2019, 2020, 2021 have yet to file the 2022 return it is on extension. It will be over 100 pages. If you report accurately the requirements are fucking nuts. |
