This is mining gear though and not some extremely accessible videogame. How many times has the first run be affordable and then the demand goes insane and the cost is nuts to try and jump on? I guess I take Gamble's with hardware.

Everyone's risk tolerance level is different as long as you know what it is before making a move then you are doing it right.

I was making a extreme example of the foolishness of the masses.

I wonder when the news of all the OTC buying central banks were doing from Crypto OGs during the "bear market" will become clear.

Right before the pump and when Mad Money features "buy bitcoin" again.

47 people got the poll wrong so far.

The answer is "you don't know."

You don't get it, you intentionally vote no because you are always wrong.

 Next Bitcoin moon cycle, I will cash out enough to go to the Dominican Republic then.  I prefer vine-ripened tomatoes so I can only imagine tree-ripened fruit.  The peaches I can buy here are usually as hard as stone when available and the kiwis from Italy are like wood and sour most of the time although I was able to buy some golden variety recently that are pretty darn juicy.


Need M00n for fresh fruit! Cheesy

You will be glad you did it. Smiley

Yeh, there are a lot of people on these mining boards of late, saying that mining is stupid, pointless and worthless.

Maybe they are right, but I don't go down to my local Ford showroom every day to tell them how terrible their cars are... Methinks they doth protest too much...

IOU 1 sM+

I gave him 2.

 1 from me and 1 from you

thx. Smiley

for me  if they had the software I would want one to play with.

My fingers are in a lot of pies.

but  waiting  for gear in this day and age  no longer works for me.

I can get  all kinds of gear in under 10 days.  with cc or paypal  and I have a large credit line with paypal six months zero interest.

So buying a gear in July and waiting to August  was a stretch for me.  Multiple postponements for the gear to come and I did not ask for refund until one day I realized gear would come without software.  I did not want the annoyance.  And got a refund 10  days  before btc tanked.

I was luck but it was not for the money  this was to be a fun buy a toy to play with.

 Was not meant   but I will buy one once it has software.

Your preaching to the choir, I decided that these fpga's were not worth the risk to pre order.
I've seen too many of these things fail as well.
I have no clue how all these retards pre buy games from large corporations and then cry when the game is shit and they can't return it.
And then they do it again the next AAA title, sheeple I'll never understand them.

 Thanks for the tip.   My PSU was Flypower PS60IBCAY5000S and searching for that game me so many shitty links to "replacement" parts that were not even close in power output that I gave up trying to find the specs.  It came with an AItech USB hub which I think is either out of business or had to change it's name for legal reasons... at any rate, I can't find them either.

 There is nothing like Florida oranges and grapefruit (especially the ruby reds).  Once a year I order a box around Christmas and I'll probably end up using my credit card but it would be nice to be able to use Bitcoin Wink



You need to goto The Dominican Republic and eat the fruit off the trees there if you think florida's fruit is good. Wink

Announcement:

#1) The amoveo bitstream for the BCU-1525 has been released. You can create your configuration at https://miner.all-mine.co/

#2) We have completed work to build the shell for the CVP-13. We will start compiling bitstreams for this device soon.

#3) We have additional bitstreams (tribus and dmd-gr) coming shortly and have started working on putting together PHI2.

You should not direct link to software that bypasses a warning that must be applied prior to using that software.

Quote
Due to recent updates / changes to our platform all BCU-1525 owners require a BMC firmware update to use new and future bitstreams. If you have not already performed the update necessary to operate the 60Mh/s Lyra2z it is recommended you update your BMC to the most recent revision. You can find update instructions below.

I don't understand what you mean?


Really? According to that mesage I quoted a firmware upgrade is required before running the bitstreams you linked. If it is "Required" then people would follow your link and run the bitstreams without doing the required update and would have the streams fail.

IOW, don't bypass pre-requisets when linking.

Just in case you're considering...

He is definitely not coming. Couldn't make it. He has sent us some Xmas gifts though:

I think Indamuck got it the other way around.  And it's not really just about the 'privacy thing' but the 'tail emission thing' that's gonna show the space that 'oh sh*t, something like that should've been implemented in BTC'. 

I don't think BTC's fee market is gonna be 'a thing' in the long run.

The governance of BTC has become the same as any government throughout history.

Hello
Please, explain the situation with the exchange livecoin.net.
They closed the withdrawal of monero, until the conflict with the monero developers is resolved.


There is no reason why they should not send you your coins.   

find more information about this situation:
in luly 2018, the livecoin.net lost $ 1.8 million due to the vulnerability in the monero code.
after they froze the withdrawal, as I understand, until the issue of compensation is resolved.

I would like to hear developers Monero, about this situation.

ROTFLMFAO!!! They got double spent because they cannot do their own checks.

tough shit, they got caught in a bug.

There is no Premine to save them.

If you are waiting for them to get coins from no-where then you are SOL.

Maybe they should learn OpSec before opening an exchange.
6798  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: December 16, 2018, 02:56:21 PM

Basically, we are hodling and passing through dark times.  It is tough.  We may, or may not be right.  But if we are right, these will be the times we will feel vindicated by.

I am betting (and buying) on a gut feeling we are right.  So are you (you're still here, right?) and it's too late to sell at the top, too late for pointless hindsight. Now we can only take the pain, sit it out and find out.

If it works out, we will have EARNED the right to feel smug as fuck that we were right all along.

And I think we are right.


OMG kurious, this this this a thousand times THIS.  Thank you for saying it, resonated with me *bigly* right now.

Personally I'm basically fully OUT of crypto now, and looking back on last up/down crazy-ass cycle we are now emerging out of, I've decided to just look at it all as the last, final, "practice run" before the REAL SHOW will begin.

I watched the crypto run from $100 to $1,000 the first time.
I participated in the run from $1,000 to $10,000 second time (overshot to $20K yeah but really it should've been "only" 10k)

WHEN not IF this all goes *whoosh boom* again, it'll be the second-to-last 10-bagger mooning and cycle will be 10K to 100K (the 100K to 1Million theoretical run may not ever happen, IMO)

So THAT is the ONE we-all gotta be prepped ready aware awake and fully on our TOES to take advantage of.

And when it comes and I'm playin' it like a boss... goddamn you better fucking BELIEVE Ima be fucking SMUG as HELL about it.  LOL

 Grin

P.S. There was a time once, long long ago 'way back in the mists of time when I actually owned a wallet that held 1,000 Monero: please keep up this retracement HoneyPony! I am hopeful I will once again be able to afford to replace that stack  Grin

I agree with you both.

These are hard times for sure.  But how many times have we seen it?

This whole event... unfolding... whatever it is... makes me regret not being 25.  I mean I have quite a few good years left, but I don't think we are going to even see the tip of the iceberg for 20+ years.  Who on Earth knows what it will look like in 50?

I am a bitcoin maximalist in that I think Bitcoin will gobble up every crypto "feature" developed in other coins over time, but ONE.  And, I think, only ONE coin does something Bitcoin never can.

This is why it is not on that list of smoldering garbage Coinbase added recently.  I used to think people who said "We don't really want to be on Coinbase" were crazy (I have never used Coinbase lol).  Now I get it.  TPTB are terrified this project just might be successful.  All of them... governments, corporations, etc.

I think they got a pretty good ride coming.

We do too... but from the vantage point of the Engine Car. Wink





Bitcoin is a much safer bet at this point, Monero is losing rank on coinmarketcap and the daily volume is very low now.  I don't want to be left holding worthless alts at this point so I'm going to stick with the only trusted coin, BTC.  Goodluck with this coin if your staying invested in it but there is a good chance most of these
altcoins will die out.

I know the whole privacy thing but the majority of people don't care about that and there are a lot of other upcoming projects with privacy features.  I just don't see monero surviving.

Please name one you think will be able to usurp Monero's privacy set.

Just one please.
