My biggest concern was the New York Ban on carbon based fuel for mining.
We are really well postioned we all the solar we built if "green" mining gets enforced here in New Jersey
Down 118 blocks only 45% in means a possible 10-14% diff drop.
Price is dropping a bit about 16k even.

Taking down will be harder for governments since developers will just create another mixer. They've done it before with Bitmixer afaik, as they've also sanctioned Tornadocash but it didn't prevent people from going to another. What is more terrifying is if the create government creates mixers themselves to spy on users, this will be an option for them instead. Bitcointalk, I think can be considered social media.
This is why I have avoided mixers like the plague.

Advertising or even using the service doesn't mean you're using it illegally.
I know, but can you trust regulators nowadays? Remember what happened with that Ethereum mixer this year? Just a friendly reminder that even self-custody is a red-flag for intergovernmental organizations: https://www.fatf-gafi.org/media/fatf/documents/recommendations/Updated-Guidance-VA-VASP.pdfThis site though expects the community to take the responsible approach and not encourage or support users who would engage in the advertising of money laundering activities for their own benefit.
You're going to have a hard time convincing this board, me included, that enhancing Bitcoin privacy effectively, cheaply and in a comfort manner is trifle in comparison with it being used as money laundering in some cases, and in a negligible manner. first off i can assure you using chipmixer is a way to be tagged as a suspect in money laundering. any USA citizen or Bahama citizen is asking for trouble using chipmixer. ftx = big fucking money lost. I for one am glad i do not and have not ever advertised or used a mixer of any kind. just look how NY made a new no mining law just the other day. How would you feel if your governement makes a no mixer law and backdates it so that you have to explain your involvement as an advertisement service for them? and user of their service as you just admitted to. not saying it will but read up on new york and what they just did to miners.

Hi guys in my opinion that btc is in Bear market right now and we do not know that how much time it will be in Bear market and for sure it is In bear market. Btc is currently running in 16000 dollars range and it might crash if some bad news might happen. So I was saying that it might crash to my prediction cause market is uncertain but indications are these. So what are your speculations and I will be more curious to know about this.
there is only a month left before the 2022 ends , so with December month you still expect that we will be seeing lowered than what we have recently? I mean we have seen the lowest of 15,5k but are we looking for 2k more low from that? I'm afraid that it will happen but if does at least we must be ready . We should always be ready and i too agree on this fact. But Bitcoins falling down more is currently impossible. I am saying this because, as soon as the price falls down, people will start buying it, therefore it will lead to more demand and hence the price will recover. So yes Bitcoins won’t fall below 15k according to me. Still this is just a speculation. There are equal chances that Bitcoins might rise or fall. Why can't bitcoin fall deeper? people said the same thing a few months ago when bitcoin hit $17.6k and bounced, then bitcoin continued to hold above $19k for months leading everyone to believe that we had bottomed out this bearish season until the FTX crash caused bitcoin to plummet below $16k. The FTX drama isn't over yet and it's still spreading in the market, we still don't know which names will crash next so don't jump to conclusions that we're at the bottom of bear season. Close to the correct question. The correct question is when does it go to 13/14k . The answer is 🔜 very 🔜.

Even before the core developers met, they’d determined that Beacon Chain withdrawals, or EIP 4895, was definitely going to be part of the fork. This means that once Ethereum goes through its next upgrade, users that staked ether prior to the Merge by locking them up in the Beacon Chain smart contract will be able to access them, along with any additional accrued rewards. By the end of this call, the timeline for Shanghai wasn’t any clearer. Some developers want to expedite Shanghai and include only the ETH withdrawal EIP along with a few other smaller EIPs, sometime in March 2023. Then, a subsequent fork would include another significant scaling upgrade – proto-danksharding – and would ship sometime during the fall of 2023. https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2022/11/24/ethereum-developers-agree-on-what-could-be-included-in-the-next-upgrade-but-not-when/For a coin that said it would be POS in Dec of 2017 and ended up going POS in Sept 2022 I think a very long wait is in store for all staked ETH. I staked $300 worth on coinbase that is drawing a big 4% So it is dropped in value to $234.87 including about $3 worth of interest. It will continue to drift downwards as all the unstated coins are being slowly sold off into USD BTC LTC and DOGE. Those staked coins help to anchor the price and slow the slide in value of the free eth coins that are being dumped as I type. It is well worth it for me to have the $300 staked as it will give me rights to sue down the road. Figure Dec 2023 to Feb 2024 for the crash to show better. I say Jan 2025 will be when they 'free' the staked coins. I would agree with you about the staked coins being locked up for some time except that this is a little different from the move to PoS. People have money at stake here (literally) and when people can’t get their money things get dirty. I would be a bit surprised if these coins aren’t released well before the next bubble, otherwise people may start getting a little crazy. I doubt it’ll be early next year though. They can’t unleash all those coins at the bottom of the market without cratering ETH. I think Mr V.B. does not sleep well. I wonder how long before he cracks and pulls a Howard Hughes. He has to be very paranoid about how many people are unhappy with him. 20 million a day in gross income went up in smoke 💨 when the genius did what he did. that was more daily gross income then btc generates. 144x6.3x20000=18 million a day. which is less. the P.O.S. mad genius hurt. Amazon Amd Asrock Asus Corsair Delta Evga Gigabyte Leadex Lenovo Microcenter MSI Newegg Nvidia PNY Sapphire Seasonic The list above is far longer V.B.’s bright idea fucked every company I listed. So I wish him the best of luck and a merry fucking christmas. Many will say he promised to go POS and he did so what did he do wrong. He can say that to himself every night he goes to sleep I am sure it with help him rest well.

He could solo mine btc and etc with 10 gpus
and see how much better it would be to solo mine etc.
essentially gpu mining is dead to everyone over six cent power.
maybe to everyone over five cent power.

buddy take off for a while.

Have you tried the GPU in a X16 slot? That will confirm it's the GPU at fault or not. I haven't found any spec for those lights but it seems like they represent the 3 sources of power for the card: the slot and the 2 aux connectors. That suggests there's a problem with the slot power source.
Edit: there are only 2x8 pin aux connectors for that 3080ti, that's at the limit. Make sure you're using risers with 6 pin power and not cheating with any splitters.
I told him to do a 1 gpu windows test with a different psu. not sure he did that. But I think he did try different mobos with different risers. If he has an identical card he could measure and comare readings on the good card to the bad card. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o2Pu9cP7N0some info could apply

I would have thought that we’d see $13K by the end of the year had the recent market strength not been on display. With all the bad things that have happened and the price still managing to hold up I now don’t believe we’ll drop below $15K before the end of the year. The negative catalysts with the potential to move the market another leg down are still several months away. I think the bottom for 2022 is already in and the rest of the year will more likely see a small rise in the market as people start eyeballing the next halving.
Well the best indicators have been both LTC and DOGE are doing well. Since they are one of the few remaining POW coins around. BTC is limping along and struggling to keep pace with them, but is hanging in there. Since OCT 2020 LTC/DOGE mining has been bull still is bull. IF they dump and shit the bed I think things will suck for a long time maybe till the 2024 elections. Our wonderful Empire State of New York has in acted a 2 year ban on mining with carbon based fuel. This could be a new contagion to deal with. I fear these bans could grow across the USA. time will tell. but remember when China kicked the miners out in spring of 2021 prices tanked bigly for months.

The recent stability in markets is a little frightening to me. I feel like a lot of little guys are being scared out of the market and selling their coins into a massive buy wall. Big companies who were eyeing Bitcoin at $50K are probably pulling the trigger here. There’s definitely a battle going on. I think if you are waiting for the bottom you’d be wise to buy some here and get it in self custody. This is starting to feel a lot like the consolidation at $3500 before the last bull run.
would be nice. I have a dca going

I would be willing to buy a lot if price was decent.
I have seen the stackable 1 dollar coupons sell at 40 cents.
I won't pay 40 cents.
But I would pay 25 cents for $1 dollar coupons.
Seller goes first.
We can do it in multiple sends if you are afraid.
ie send me 100 coupons I send you $25.00
if you have a coinbase account
and give me the email I can send BTC or USDC
if you just want to use an address I can pay in LTC or Doge
if you want PayPal I can do that.
I LIKELY will buy a few thousand dollars worth of coupons over the next month.
pm me

Lots a coins whitdrawn When supply shock
Today competing in my very first CrossFit competition
the problem is shitcoins POS specifically the ones that are like this list below: with USDC USDT BNB CET KCS and more it still feels like a glut of coins on the markets. the difficulty is dropping hard -12% if we get continued Diff drops (we will have a few) it will begin to create more downward pressure on price. Much like when China kick out a ton on miners and the high of 69k dropped a ton to follow the hash rate drop. Here is first USA mining ban (only 2 years). So DCA and Hodl

I read somewhere very early that PoW and PoS are two ways of climbing the same mountain. May be someone agree too or correct me.
Except POS has nothing to do with climbing the same mountain. It is at best simply a centralized unsecured unregulated bond based on code. POW is a power conversion based system that uses energy, code and hard gear. It is also decentralized. POS does not belong in the crypto space. Only decentralized Pow coins qualify. Not an opinion just factual. So under 100 coins qualify as crypto. POS should be under codo coins. But I have lived long enough to know that is not going to happen. It's giving me a headache.. again to feel that there is any need to even go down this road.. .. there is no there there, but you (WatChe) still want to somehow suggest that POS is actually adding something of value?
That's why I said either agree with me or correct me. Thanks for correcting me. @JayJuanGee your detail elaboration on every matter is what makes WO stand out. Edit:philipma1957 and @JayJuanGee may be you referring to this with respect to PoW and PoS? Close enough

Well we are now down 97 blocks https://www.bitrawr.com/difficulty-estimator... Latest Block: 764783 (10 minutes ago) Current Pace: 88.0963% (720 / 817.29 expected, 97.29 behind)Previous Difficulty: 36762198818467.21 Current Difficulty: 36950494067222.41 Next Difficulty: between 32649086906770 and 34299158216090 Next Difficulty Change: between -11.6410% and -7.1754% Previous Retarget: last Sunday at 5:50 PM (+0.5122%) Next Retarget (earliest): December 5, 2022 at 8:28 PM (in 9d 10h 25m 25s) Next Retarget (latest): December 6, 2022 at 3:14 PM (in 10d 5h 11m 10s) Projected Epoch Length: between 15d 2h 38m 17s and 15d 21h 24m 3s ... An interesting phenomenon about hashrate dropping a lot is that it will occasionally put downward preset on price. Remember when China kicked out a shit ton of miners hash rate dropped a ton but price also dropped and we had the rare reverse trend of price falling and following falling hash rate. I know its a bit of the chicken or the egg. My guess is we go under 15k and have 2 strong hash rate drops maybe 36.9 to 32.9t and then 32.9 to 28.0t so on Dec 21 hash rate of 28.0t and price of 14.9k my guess lets see how it ages. Meanwhile LTC/Doge doing well it has been the best mining algo for profits from Oct 2020 to Nov 2022 and where is ETH oh I know frozen in Pile Of Shit Way to go Mr V.B.

Ideally, put at least chainstate on SSD, and use 4096 MB dbcache. With those settings, any modern computer should be able to sync the blockchain within a day. Assuming your internet connection can handle it. 1TB is enough for many years to come.
If your internet is 100 mbs speed. your ram is 16gb use a 2tb ssd. for the os and the blockchain. once you down load the blockchain clone the ssd with the os and the black chain on it. put the clone in a safe place you should be good for years and years and years. plus if the drive dies just swap in your clone and it will synch up fairly quickly since you have the first 500gb on it.
