This.

Nobody is judging those of you who don't for not smoking. Considering alcohol/tobacco/caffeine all have more debilitating longterm effects, no need to be judging folks.

(And I'm not judging any of the above; I am a caffeine addict no question, I quit smoking cigarettes 2-3 years ago but smoked for almost 20 years, and I drink on the regular )

Yes, but you also need to purchase an S5 or aftermarket BB board, which costs around $50-100.

I don't think so. They sent me one at the same time they sent the shipping confirmation for my psu. I think it's either that the late Nov crop of D3s are delayed or it's a black friday thing?

No worries! I was informed that there's actually a group buy forum, so it's in the wrong place anyway.

On a mildly related note, the blockchain for CannabisCoin is taking forEVER to sync/download. It's almost like the code itself is too high.

That still seems somewhat implausible without a farm buying a large number and then selling us extras.

Which actually isn't a terrible idea. Anyone know a farm that has a bunch of S5s that may want to upgrade?

GENIUS

I'm not selling anything. Read the rest of the thread, it's neither a sale nor a scam, it was an attempt to pool resources (which, due to the most recent information, seems almost entirely improbable at this point anyway).

Got an email back from them--their minimum to ship to the UK (possibly a typo? either way, assume the same) is 200 pieces. So yeah. I don't see us putting that together.

What is your payout system, threshold, and pool percentage?

EDIT--or not, see below.

I don't see any weed smokers pressuring anyone to try it, but considering the volume of people who just keep repeating "not good for health", if you're not providing any arguments, sources, or facts, why would anyone listen to you? No offense, genuine question; if I just kept posting over and over again "bitcoin is immoral" and provided no context or sources, would you even care much less think "hmm, maybe he's right"?

You can just mine Litecoin and sell it on an exchange.

And the 4% thing is only if you want to be paid daily to an external wallet; if you mine to a Nicehash wallet and pay out from it once in a while, the actual overall percentage is around 2.6 I think (they have a spreadsheet breakdown of fees on their site). For the difference in what you're paid AND in comparison to mining a coin, paying those fees., then selling for bitcoin on an exchange and paying THOSE fees, the Nicehash fees are pretty reasonable.

I live in Oregon where it is also legal. I have not noticed or read about any significant negative changes to our state. In fact, most studies I've read have shown no real positive or negative impact from the law in Oregon, Washington, Alaska, or Colorado (there's not much current data on other states yet since they passed the laws so recently). No noticeable increases in DUI arrests, intoxication related car fatalities (though people will claim there has been an increase OR a decrease, depending on who you ask and how they feel about the law), and no increase in crime statistics. Culturally, not much has changed either, other than searches and police harassment dropping off quite a bit.

As for the few definite benefits, while not a huge percentage of the state's budget, Oregon's tax revenue generated by marijuana sales goes to schools, police, and drug rehab programs. And every cop I know or have talked to is thankful for it, as at least here in the city it has relaxed some tensions and freed up manpower to fight actual crime. Granted, I know four cops and one retired one, so that's not nearly enough data to be more than an anecdote, but that's been my experience.


Not an unreasonable question to ask, but perhaps start by asking why it is/was illegal in the first place, why people want to drink coffee or alcohol, etc. As for the government part, they made it legal because the people of the state voted for it. It wasn't their decision, it was ours.

Internet bandwith? I'm running two gpu rigs and neither uses any more bandwith than my ASIC (none of them use a noticeable amount). My rigs certainly cost more than my L3+ and make less per day, but they also will continue to make the same amount for far longer than an ASIC.

I keep WANTING to switch back over to LinX or LiteCoin (especially LC) because I do think both coins will grow in value eventually, but right now I'm just trying to pay off the cards I used to buy my new GPU rig, and the L3+ is helping for your exact reason, it just keeps earning more daily, and since I'll be cashing it out before too long (and Bitcoin keeps going up in value anyway)...

Suprnova (see previous posts). I've been in touch with them already about it and they don't know what's wrong. It may be a problem with the blockchain or the wallet software, check the official electroneum dev blog, there was some security issue a bit back and there's a sort of lockdown happening. I'm not sure whether that's related to my problem or not, but until they post that it's solved I'm not attempting another withdrawal from SN.

(Also as per my posts above, the pool page did disappear for a bit, but it's back up now, and my balance hasn't changed there)

I'm more an edibles guy, but yes. I tend to lean towards vape pens when smoking (not oil based ones, ones that you put flower into). I find I can control how much I am getting way easier than with joints or oils, so I don't end up in that "too high, can't think straight" kind of place.

I also live in a state where it is legal (Oregon), so I'm not taking any risks or anything...

I use EthOS for my gpu rigs, I have had zero technical problems on my side (I have had some rare poolside problems with newer coins, but that's to be expected every now and again). Not an advert for them, I just like the OS. It IS $40/rig, but I like that it's upfront and not monthly, and having started by trying to build linux distros myself for my first rig, I am much, much happier with the plug and play nature of it. You don't even need to know much Linux/Unix, there is a very simple commands guide that is pretty much all you need...

I have heard good things about other mining OSes as well, not saying EthOS is better or worse than any of them, just that I never seem to have any technical issues with GPUs. But you are right, if you just want to mine simply and in one pool in a "set it and forget it" way, then ASICs are definitely the way to go. Plus it's easier to use them as space heaters.
