Kind of off topic, so I'll be brief; I don't think that's necessary; you can have an LLC and a DBA (doing business as) at the same time, and they don't need to named identically.  As far the IRS is concerned they just want to make sure that you've accounted for (and paid tax on) all of the proceeds generated by your business.  If they see lots and lots of money flowing through your accounts that have not been disclosed on your tax forms, they start to get suspicious.  As long as you're paying taxes on the money that's claimed as taxable income, they don't care about much else.

There's no way to delete or remove those accounts, and if you don't have the login credentials any longer then they are effectively shutdown.  If you're concerned that someone may be able to hack the accounts at some point, it may be a good idea to use your philipma1957 account to tag them with a neutral or even a red tag to warn others that they were your accounts and aren't being use any longer.

ETA:  To this point: You can ask theymos to lock the accounts to prevent any login.  If I'm not mistaken he's done this before.

I cannot remember any situation where alt accounts where closed by the admins. If you remember your secret question and the answer, you can try to recover the account using that to lock your profile.
Try to log in, click on forgot password and then "Ask me my question". This action should lock your account as it was disabled some time back.

P.S; did you merit your alt?

I want to preface this post by saying that I think it's wrong to send merit to your own alt account.  We can't merit our own posts (I think, I've never tried) so we shouldn't be meriting our own posts regardless of how many accounts we use to make posts.

But, is this really merit abuse?  I haven't spent any time digging into the post that was sent 2 merits (it's been deleted and I don't have the time right now,) but I found something interesting about this post that was sent one merit:

Two days after philipma1957 made that post using his alt account, someone made a post questioning whether that was really philipma1957 or a scammer:


In the matter of 1 minute and 50 seconds philipma1957 sent 4 merits in that thread, one each to 4 posts, as you can see here:




And this post in the same thread confirms what I originally suspected:


Again, I'm not condoning this as a way to confirm your alts, but it seems rather obvious that is what philipma1957 meant to do.  It also seems rather obvious that philipma1957 is not trying to game the system.  Abuse of the merit system doesn't seem to be happing here.  Misuse maybe, but that can easily be solved by educating philipma1957 that this use of the merit system is frowned upon.

Maybe he's legitimately curious if it's safe to use his previous account to merit his newbie account...  

You might have a defective SD card if you bought this SD card cheap then there is a big possibility the size of that card is fake so if you imported and burned a firmware with this SD card it reaches the fake size the firmware become corrupted and your unit will end up having a broken firmware.

Why not try another SD card if you have extra make sure to use a better card and make sure you formatted the SD card in Fat32(NTFS and exFat do not work).

Forked or not, the bottom line will be that Vitalik & Co.'s PoS chain will retain the vast majority of its market cap. The PoW chain will be almost worthless, like $50 per Ether if we're lucky. Best case, it becomes like the ETC fork back in 2016 or BCH in 2017.

But regardless, 90%+ of the total block reward available to GPU miners will vanish overnight, and no rig will be profitable except at free power. Even if the PoS chain ran into a major bug and they want to go back to PoW, that would still destroy confidence in ETH, meaning mining profit would crash by 90% anyway.

The only possible outcomes of PoS are PoS wins, PoW loses or PoS loses, PoW loses. There is no scenario where PoW wins.

Yes I believe I did burn it to the card correctly, I did definitely place it in the slot and move the pin on p4. It might not have read because it was a 128gb card? That’s one thing I’ve read so far…

I am  a philipma1957 alt. I will be using this newly formed account.

I finally formalized with my partner buysolar.

I have this new ebay account

https://www.ebay.com/usr/a1hashratellc


I will post with this account most of the time from now on.


I will verify with philipma1957 in 1 minute.

I don’t believe any firmware loaded. I was attempting to load brainsos.

If only the merge could be decided arbitrarily by the price of ETH, kek.
No, they will keep on pushing it and commit the merge between PoS testnet and mainnet. There're maybe some delays, fuds but they're hell bent on doing it, not by any price range but because the ETH has been stagnant for a while. If they keep on the delay like times before, they will hurt ETH furthermore, a self-sabotaging act.

I just tried changing firmware and created a nice problem. I can’t find my IP to the ant miner s9j now and I have a solid red light.   Possibly bad board?

philipma, the joke must not have translated.

I believe that shahzadafzal was being sarcastic and facetious.

No.

How long does it take to learn to start mining on a computer with 1 video card? For mining, you need to buy a mining farm or build it yourself, then the beginner will get more useful experience.1050 ti is an old video card, before mining you need to change the thermal paste and check the condition of the thermal pads.
