Appreciate the info sharing. Thank you as it's very helpful. I'm getting a bunch of these as my theory is BTC prices going much higher in the future.

Do you by chance have a meter that you really like which tracks your total kw usage? It's been a few years since I tore down my GPU rigs and sold everything but from my recollection, I think I had a kw meter directly plugged in first to my 30 AMP outlet adapter and from there going into this, I plugged in a 30A 30 outlet power rack mount, so I was able to get an aggregate kw output number. But now I'm not so sure if this is exactly what I actually did.  Cheers.

Sorry, but it is irrelevant as you don't know the future trajectory of mini.
Example: it could trade at a premium and since GBTC trades with no discount, you still come out ahead. For example, ibit trades between 0.84% discount and 0.98% premium. Same for FBTC.
That's almost 2% range. I know...the snickering must continue regardless of facts, lol.
However, ask yourself: how relevant is this when we go up/down 5% a day?

Can repair this hash board?

i clean three hashboard ,  hasboard one is fail  ? electronic components are burned

my miner btc avalon can job with only two hasboards?  

I'm surely fine with that, but what the fee/tx RUNE (iirc) madness does (aside from being a stupid game), is:

1. slowing adoption (even if companies offer LN, when they regularly sync to the main chain, the fees are more of a loss)
2. degrading performance (from a use-case-of view, not a nonsense-case-like-RUNE-of view)
3. bring bad news about BTC, which is not always bad, as we know, but makes new investors overthink their planned investments.

Look at it like that: Cars are made for bringing you from A to B in a convenient, fast and personal way. Now, someone propagates a stupid trend (remember one or the other challenge hype)to attach your household waste to random cars, to get it away. Would you feel good if your and every other's car is driving around with litter bags tied to their back several times a day? You'd have to get rid of the stuff at your own cost, effort and time.
I would be annoyed as fuck, honestly. But this is just what is happening, Gen-Z-ers are encouraged to tie their waste to Bitcoin blocks by someone exploiting that stupid Ordinals concept, just because it hasn't got any other valuable use.
This is what happens if developers don't overthink the consequences of their solutions. You know the old saying "the solution became the problem"? (or something like that)

I may sound angry, but i am just feeling a bit surprised, but not in a positive way.
Opportunism, like using shitcoins, including fiat money, seems to help to get by, but who really wants that compromise?
Not me, for sure  


Hellow, fellow  
I didn't stay awake, either...

The miners who did not take periodic halving effects into account in their business calculations (some won't even have had a clear vision of how long they plan to profitably run this), they may well be concerned in the face of rising hashing difficulty. Then there was the rise of energy prices, inflation and so on, which set back some newer mining companies in their profits to extend their business. It's always those unforseen events (black swans) that cause a lot of unfavorable side-effects. If you don't think about such, you remain with "the pants pulled down" in such situations (while all the others are able to run away)  

Aaand, you know the media. They put up their (horror) stories, and then they are looking for ways to sell them to the public. What's really going on behind the media narratives might be very different.

People can use it, blocks are mined, and transactions are confirmed, it's just that it's not cheap and the ones paying more are favored.
Ordinals or no ordinals the same would have happened if you would have had 100 million trying to use it daily.
Demand and offer!



Loll, I didn't realize there is an extra, I thought it was 3,600 not 3,600,000.
This poor guy, despite spending $510,768 he didn't had the most expensive tx in sat/vb.
Imagine his disappointment.

That's been said many times over the years and has not come true yet. We will see.

Thanks for the merit! 420 on 4/20 halving day.  Let's go.   
Almost top 40 in the Canadian dollar. 

I thought the fees would have come down a bit more by now but let's see how economical it is for these spammers to keep it up. Everytime this has happened before fees have come back down to reasonable levels, I don't think it will be different this time.

What I do know though is that I will not be transacting on the network while this keeps up.

We are up about 7.30X since the last halving on may 11, 2020 or 730% in 1439 days or 0.1385%/day or 65.7% a year.
Not bad, lol

bitcoin has no technical reason to be restrained. its dev political motivated. when you follow the funding and roadmap plans of core devs it is their plan to segregate and migrate people away from native use of bitcoin. bitcoin core added an exploit 8 years ago, which is being abused 2years ago to cause these annoyances/attacks and core devs have had 8 years of knowledge of the exploit and a few years of seeing the annoying results of its impact. but all they care about is migrating people away from using the bitcoin network.
even those performing the attack/annoyance are funded by the same groups promoting the segregation of majority/trying to push people into migrating people over to the other network(rich/poor divide)

anyone telling people to:
use another network
stop using bitcoin
wait weeks, month, years and hope the utopia fixes itself

is not a ally/friend of bitcoin

if they think their reasons are justified that spending $50 for 1 tx is fine but spending $50 spread over several years for a hard drive to store decades of transactions is some how bad economics.. those fools have their maths the wrong way round, and no understanding of math/economics of utility

as for the 'do nothing, just wait' i think 8 years of waiting for the promises of bitcoin scaling to offer more transactions of cheaper fee is enough waiting. lets accept it the promises made 8 years ago have not been met. and no, other networks are not the solution. they are the diversion

other networks only provide small niche sub services of options. and should not be thought of as the ultimate replacement utility.

its funny how those that support other networks are the solution where 'small' transactions should occur. but in same breath they dont want the 'small' transactions of bloat/spam to be stopped

anyone promoting to not censor junk, but to sensor genuine bitcoiner utility have thigns the wrong way round
bitcoin HAD rules to articulate every byte as having purpose. those rules have been softened and many transactions always have been:
'dropped', 'scrubbed', 'evicted', 'orphaned', 'pruned', 'unrelayed' and many other terms that made bitcoin clean and purposeful.
suggesting bitcoin should be filled with junk but actual use should be delayed/migrated elsewhere is a social-con, a social abuse of trying to suggest bitcoin shouldnt be used by bitcoiners

Daaaaamn at 50smerit per 30days atm 😬😬
