The majority of US houses, including "luxury" homes around here are made largely with oriented strand board (OSB), which is made by gluing together peeled wood products.
It's a middle of three piggies houses (sticks).
i am not a specialist in housing construction, but it doesn't seem very luxurious or long lasting.


Most homes are 2x4 with plywood or osb board.

Some are 2x6 with plywood and foam insulation= a far better home.
the foam makes the home super insulated and way stronger. Cost is more but not crazy more.
A 700000 house would be 720000. The extra 20k would easily be made up in 10 years times as both heating and cooling would be cheaper.

Should be code. But it isnt.

Well bitcointalk is one of the only forums to sell or rent your signature space .

I have mentioned time and time and time again.

Lets have a signature holiday.

I know it won’t be done but mentioning it is worth while.

What happens is merits were made to have value by this op as he admits to doing.

So who is the bad guy?

the op or the guy that needs to hustle to get a merit.

many don’t earn merits for many reasons some are good but one reason is meriting people is a lot of work.

I give thousands of merits I read for hours on end to give merits out.

I do this because many people deserve merits.

yeah things are getting tighter. early but time will tell if we drop to 29.9t

viabtc pays 6.43 cents

so 100 th = $6.43 burns 75kwatts or $4.50 at six cents that is 1.43 profit for a fully paid off mine with no help costs. but lets be realistic big mines have costs even if fully paid off

insurance
building maintenance
help
property tax if you own the property
rent if you rent the property.

so at six cents I am guessing all big mines are at death's door.

We are small but the space is multi use and ware house space makes good money now due to supply chain issues.

Think if you have a Walmart sized building. The overhead must be nuts.

Now lets say you are all containers. it cost a lot to make a container. so Loans are involved.

I see hashrate dropping under 30t maybe on dec 18th

surely by Jan 2 29t looks to be all good.


all this depends on a stable 17k price. 

if we go over 20k rate picks up.
if we tank to 13k rate drops.

okay so


 fans>( board 1)>( board 2)>(color=red)( board 3)(/color)>(board 4)>(board 5) > fans>



is this how they lay out?


your photo show 4 boards and 1 heat sink

I am guessing there are 5 boards and the middle board runs hot because it is not near the intake or exhaust fans


if I am right switching the center board with the first board should make the temps stay hot in the center.

if I am wrong sitting the center board the temps will stay with that board.

yes, it appears to be...a bit scary.

Portugal (sans Ronaldo) looks great..a title contender now.
Still great shot (offside) near the end. He may just be warming up for the semi/final, to score a few decisive goals.
* OutOfMemory surived influenza, like the whole family, 3 are out of sickness already. Seems like it will take some more days to recover.

Not gaslighting, but this was about twice as hard as Omicron BA.1

EDIT: That's all for today. Going to sleep. #HODL

yeah swap lungs with my wife.

pretty good chance fisrt covid variant has given her long term lung damaged which is yet to be checked.

Basically think cystic fibrous. but just use the word fibrous.

Her lungs are simply continuing to scar.

So to anyone that did not get hammered by covid cool. Just remember that people did get hammered.

We got first version in very late dec 2019. She went to hospital with 2x pneumonia in Jan 2020. And while she survived. she now has a condition that appears to slowly scar and keep scarring her lungs.

Hoping doctors can halt the continued scar growth.

Glad this has not happened to more of the wo people.
but not glad it seems to have happened to my wife.
5766  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Marriage: Character or Beauty? on: December 06, 2022, 02:43:24 AM
Although there are no generally acceptable feature of a beautiful woman, but there are some physical qualities that we see in a woman and assume she’s beautiful. Large eyes, white teeth,  big smile, the curvature of the spine, a waist-to-hip ratio of .67 to .80, glowing skin, thick and healthy hair are all beauty qualities. We hear slim is beautiful, fair is lovely, fat is shaming.

My wife doesn’t have these qualities. To make matters worse, she is suffering from a skin disease that makes her skin very unpleasant to behold. People always tell me that my wife is ugly. Sometimes I feel bad and want to regret marrying her, but these few attributes keeps me going.

Intelligence: My wife is extremely brainy. My children don’t have issues with their academics because she is the best teacher.

Contentment: She has never encouraged me to spend money on what we don’t need. My wife ensures we live or spend based on our income. Borrowing or loans is a taboo in our home. And she has taught our children contentment.

Caring: I and the children always feel her absence when she travels. She ensures that I don’t lack both physical and emotional support.

Selfless: The first laptop I had was a gift from her. She had to sacrifice part of her business money for me to get that device.

Team player: We are the best match. My weakness is her strength and my strength is her weakness. She is my better half.

Like I stated before, sometimes I look at her unattractive face and skin and I wish she wasn’t my wife. But her good character informs me that I am married to the most beautiful woman in the world.







Well you have an unusual combo for a wife. Lots of perfect 10s and a few 2s and 3s.

My wife is very good in emotional support.
My wife is moral but truly moral not bullshit moral. Ie she is not a holy roller that cheats.
My wife is fairly good looking.

So I get good/great character and fair/good looks.

say 9s for character and 7s for looks.

plus she actually likes sex with me never underestimate the value of that.

Her biggest flaw is her brother has dementia and she wants to continue helping him as much as she can.
That is actually a pretty good flaw but it can be exhausting.

I can sincerely say of the few girls I was with before her none were in her class.
So after all the talk I would say personality and character are more important than looks.

so I rather have a wife that was an 8-10 for character and personality and a 5-7 for looks.

Than the other way around.

To be honest as I look at the girls I have been with look wise they were all 5-8

And character wise only my wife was a 8-10.

So it was an easy thing to say she looks okay, but she has heart 💜 so I want her.

hey guy block this mofo he is slacking off.

we are under 17k.


I tell you if they do a 0.50% fed jump on the 13th vs a 0.75% jump we will rally bigly.

could happen, but just because many market participants are kids...fed already telegraphed that move.

yeah  and it should work well.
5769  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: lowest hashrate that hit a block in the last 3 years on: December 05, 2022, 11:53:35 PM
To scale the luck my mine has had 1.5ph to 2.0 ph last 3 years and we have not hit a block.

How do you know your miners didn't hit any block when mining to those PPS pools? it's pretty hard to keep track unless you use monitoring software that gives you alerts when one of the miners hits a block, the miner log itself would reset with every reboot so your miners could very well have hit a couple of blocks without you knowing. Cheesy



I check a lot. but it is possible i missed one.

so last  36.8 to 36.7 to 36.9 to 33.?

The oct 24 to Nov 6 looks like a difficulty tidal  shift.

with a 17k price diff may take a very long time to go to 40t
miners may get to catch their collect breath.

16 more blocks and we are in with say -7.3%


so if we are at a diff of 34.2 and a price of 16.9k a s19 at 6 cent power is okay gear.

5773  Economy / Economics / Re: Share Your Best Money Advice Based on Personal Experience on: December 04, 2022, 11:06:07 PM
I can not give advice for third world nations as I live in a first world nation.

1)Find a sex partner to live with.
Whether you are straight or gay living with a person lowers expenses.

2) Find out the sex your partner likes and if it is not oral sex leave that partner and find a new partner.
This is more for straights than gays since fucking makes kids and kids cost money in any civilized first world nation.

3) so now you are with a partner that likes  oral sex most. Practice practice practice practice.
Really cheap to do. Takes lots of time if you practice practice practice.

Now all of the above may seem like I am kidding ,but if you take it to heart 💜.

It lowers your blood pressure and saves you money.
Compare it to smoking a cigarette. In USA New York a pack of smokes is 10 bucks.

So if you and your lover smoke three packs a day that is 10000 usd a year.

Next buy a water filter. A tabletop reverse osmosis water filter is around 400 and filters cost 100

So 500 then 100 then 100 is 700 for 3 years. 233 a year. under 80 cents a day for pure water.

not the filth that comes from the tap. this alone is very good for health.

next is eat well. learn to cook 5 real meals that are as good as a restaurant.

I can do great omlets.
I can do great brisket.
I can do really good tomato sauce.
I make great roasted chicken.
I make great roasted turkey.
Also make both the chicken and the turkey into soup.
I make nice lamb roasts.
great shredded pork.
dead solid almond crust pizza for low carb treat.
All of the above is made in healthy manner. All of the above is better than most restaurant food for taste.

it all saves money.

Bang out credit card like a mother fucker. but only when they offer a deal.
I have spent a million dollars on credit cards since 1986.
I have spent about 30 in interest on them since 1986.
I have earned over 2 percent on that million in points.
about 20000 dollars.

5774  Economy / Reputation / Re: Kano and his dirty games on: December 04, 2022, 10:42:24 PM
So I won’t take sides.

1)We all are going to die=fact.
2) If I give solockpool an address and hit a block it auto dumps to that address.
3) If I give solokano an address and hit a block it auto dumps to kanos address
4) It appears that kanos pool has an extra point of failure due to number 3

Kano is at least 20 years old which means it is unlikely he will live for 100 more years.

100x365= 36500 to 1 shot he dies before the payout is generated.

So if you like kano and want to add that risk to playing you can.

but ck has blown at least two blocks due to programing issues.
and ck has had more stales and orphans per hit block than kano has had.

All small pools have risks.

1) owner and runner could die and coins can be locked.
2) owner could hit a string of blocks and cut and run.

this is true of any small pool.

I mine at lauritia pool and next block hit I am due over 2 coins but we have three miners and a hashrate under 300th.  thats a huge risk.

Kano simply does not need you op.
an the op simply does not need kano.

At op rather than fight and yell and be angry just mine with ck pool.

Dear  Senior/knowledgeable/very experienced  miners,  could  I  gain  your  thoughts  please...

Please  kindly  bestow  any  information  you  would  you  kindly  help  in  as  much  depth  as
possible  with  this  question  as  I  require  more  than  just  yes/no  :

Is  it  really  worth  it  as  an  individual  these days  given  all  the  mining  farms  and  their
power,  to  achieve  solo  results?  it's  just  I'm
genuinely  curious  about  the  realistic  potential  of  the  individual  miner  gaining  positively?
thoughts please?

Many  thanks  in  advance.

Maybe
Maybe not.


First off what is your power cost?

If 6 cents a kwatt you can split mine.

Ie point most of you hashrate to a pool like viabtc.com
point a small fraction to cksolo.org


if you earn 1 dollar a day at viabtc,com

that dollar can cover the loss at the solo pool.


It is not easy to make a profit mining any btc at this moment.

a higher very loud s19 pro cost 2000 usd or more it burns 75 kwatts a day. at 6 cents a kwatt that is $4.50 cost it will earn  6 dollars a day at viabtc.com $1.50 daily profit if you have six cent power.

point a cheap low power miner to solo.ckpool.org

the Apollo https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5340015.0

or use a modded s9 with 1 hash board. use braiins software. it will burn 10 kwatts a day or 60 cents.

so 1.50-.60 = 90 cent daily profit and a shot to hit a block on the solo pool.

you need 6 cent a kwatt power cost.

you need 240 volt power.

you spend about 2000 s19 pro
you spend about  100 s9
cost 2100

about 2200 days later (7 years) you could break even.

of course if the modded s9 hits a block you will profit.


Most people do not have 6 cent a kwatt power. 10-22 cent is more common.

In the usa most do not have 240 volt power.

The Bitcoin market is so stable I keep questioning whether or not my price application is working. This is the sort of stabilization we’ve typically seen in the past when in accumulation mode. I believe that’s what is happening here. Plenty of people have decided this price is low enough and are taking advantage to buy the sats that people are offloading out of fear. I’m pretty sure people buying here won’t regret it in a couple years.

And what is 65 years in the USA? Your president is 80 years old, although he sometimes falls asleep at meetings Smiley
You have better medicine, so there are a lot of older people. In Russia, it is very difficult to live up to 70 years in the city for a citizen with an average salary.

Don't worry now Putin will make sure this goes well below 70 with the stupidity of isolating Russia further and further.I don't want to bring this thread to political views but it is impossible when Russia is mentioned now,the fact that they ask for important parts for their technology chain from India says a lot to me and since Russia is already with this war about 40-50 years behind in technology compared to the West they better stop this war and sit down in the negotiations table rather than isolating further Russia up to a point where there is no return.

Growing up in New York city I have had quite a few russian friendships. I still am very close to a Russian couple that I know since 1997. Roman and I would often talk politics he fled Russian in 1989 when he was around 23. I look at the world with a viewpoint from 1961 on.

I remember the cold war as a child. We are heading back to that time. It is sad. Who is to blame?
I guess we all are just a bit responsible , but it is sad to see the world turning and burning time after time.

5779  Economy / Economics / Re: House is a forced saving on: December 02, 2022, 02:27:23 PM
Houses get old, houses go into maintenance and they depreciate in value over the time. I am pretty sure this is not the case as mentioned in the OP.  

They are only valued if they are some sort of big houses like mansions with its own property (land/garden/ponds/golf ground) I hope you have imagined already what kind of property I am talking about here.

Those are the properties which gets highly paid over the time. However, most of them get valued based on the “real estate land” and its location.

But usually that isn’t the bucket for everyone out here. So look for the properties right, not every of them would appreciate in value all the time.

Dude my house was 142k in 1992

it is now 660k in 2022

I put 100k into it.

I also lived in it for over 30 years.

Rent would be 12 x 30 = 360 months and at least 1500 a month or 540k and no value for that spent.

Of course home prices vary.

I am sure if your house is Keiv it's price dropped like a mofo from dec 2021 to dec 2022.


this a home similar to mine in my home town
