701  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: New Project. A 1 board s19 110 pro. Make it a s19xp Some photos to follow on: March 26, 2024, 11:45:59 AM
So I was thinking if I could mod a mod that is offered on line.

I would run braiins+
I would tune the board to 30th and about 875 watts

I would use 4 noctua 3600 rpm ppm 120mm fans.

I Should have some posts on this soon. and of course some photos.

please do a 400 watts option like apollo 2 miner, bitaxe miners. Please also have a RJ45 port. Hoping your project suceeds.
Tie up with D-central for shipping



lowest setting is 60th for three boards which is divided by 3  to get the one board i used so 20th on epic controller is as low as you can do.

20th is around 525 watts

highest option is on braiins you can do 37th which is around 900 watts.

both machines are temperature dependent colder means better efficiency. I can get them to do 22 watts a th in a cold room.

these are eth based only rj45 plug in.

It could be, but the cost of installing solar energy, to work 24 hours a day, is not yet viable.

It is according to these guys:
https://b2binpay.com/en/the-future-of-cryptocurrency-mining/
word by word

One of the promising areas of the mining industry will be cloud mining, which, despite its shortcomings, has good prospects for the future. The first perspective is the increasing number of users attracted to cryptocurrency mining using cloud mining. Due to the growing interest in cryptocurrencies, more and more people want to start earning from them. Cloud mining provides the opportunity to make digital money without purchasing and setting up specialized equipment. The second prospect is an improvement in mining technology. Cloud mining companies are constantly working to improve technology to increase the efficiency and profitableness of crypto mining. This can be achieved by using new mining algorithms and improving mining hardware and software.


But besides the obvious plagiarism, that whole thing is a bunch of nonsense, cloud mining, new mining algorithms, chatgpt article.
Just ignore it.

Those 9 blocks can be ignored as that could change in 2 hours, we just had a 30 mins difference between two blocks as I type this.
So maybe something positive, and probably again next time once more a bigger adjustment, I expect a lot of gear that was ready to ship at the start of the year is still fiding it's way to the owner's warehouses.

703  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: huge fuckup on an order from bitmain on: March 26, 2024, 02:58:11 AM
In this case, Bitmain and DHL are supposed to coordinate and help you out send the right paper work so you can clear with customs. That's the only way out.

Bitmain would tell you the miner is yours the moment DHL picks it up from them, DHL would tell you, we can't do shit unless instructed by the shipper because it was shipped from their account, I had a similar issue happening to me, not the wrong name, but it was the wrong destination, it arrived to some far away country and stopped there, I contacted my local DHL and they said this is what the Air waybill and shipping details point to, despite them acknowledging that the shipment is actually mine.

It took me days of back-and-forth emails with Bitmain, they literally told me there was nothing they could do, I kept getting different responses from different Bitmain employees until one of them ( her name was Jessica) she helped me settle the matter, they contacted DHL and she sent me a new tracking number.

Phill, you need to keep bothering shity Bitmain until they send the correct documents to DHL, I did search my email inbox to find Jessica's email but all emails I received from Bitmain were from support@bitmainhelp.zendesk.com but labeled differently, Jessica, Olivia and etc.

I will wait to see the call dhl gives me

The info came to my email
Philip lastname @ yahoo.com

with the wrong name

Christopher xxxxx
correct address
correct phone.


the invoice from bitmain is perfectly correct

all info including social security number.

the order documents are perfectly correct.

Jesus from DHL told me he thinks it is an error on dhl’s part

they are supposed to contact me in the morning.

I will follow up with them and this thread by late tomorrow.

705  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: DCA vs Smart DCA, what do you choose? on: March 26, 2024, 12:13:03 AM
Traditional DCA is way less of a headache and you don't need to have your eyes on the market all the time.
I see it depends on the goals and financial strength of DCA itself.
whether beginners or old, traditional DCA is used more to accumulate bitcoins in a portfolio on a regular basis, not for the purpose of earning more profits. So it is very appropriate to use traditional DCA because you don't need to be confused about market conditions, see potential declines, read good and bad news that can affect the price of bitcoin, and so on. we just need to buy bitcoin regularly every week or month.

In my opinion, Smart DCA is the opposite, or more precisely, it is more about accumulating bitcoin using trading techniques. You will definitely read more and see market conditions. by using this method you should also be able to allocate more funds. because a decline can occur at any time. It could also be that when the price is falling and we believe now is the right time to buy, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow the price will fall again. of course it will make us buy some more bitcoins.

At 67 my dca time frames are shorter.

I purchased from nov 2022 to 2023 nov maybe dec 2023.

I sold some kept most.  a five year dca with a five year hodl is not realistic at my age.  as i want some life to live now since I am 67. I have no one to give when I die. So spending is part of what I do.
706  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: huge fuckup on an order from bitmain on: March 26, 2024, 12:07:10 AM
has any had a name error like this with bitmain and dhl?

Probably a mix-up with another customer's name in the sorting center right before DHL picked up the parcels?
It's never happened to me but since they are humans too, at times they can make errors.

In this case, Bitmain and DHL are supposed to coordinate and help you out send the right paper work so you can clear with customs. That's the only way out.

90 percent sure this is it. I got a hold of Jesus from DHL and he was totality transparent.

Did not know his name yet. we talked 15 minutes I think it will get fixed on the dhl end.

When we finished talking he asked me did I have any questions I asked his name he said Jesus I said good I need your help.

I got a followup email from him. I will submit my waybill from bitmain matches perfectly.

Btw my email is pxxxxxxxxo@yahoo.com

my actual name been using it for 25 years. It finally came in handy.

I told dhl the email is my name and I have used it with your company buying from bitmain for 9 years.

I used to be annoyed that I used my real name as my email it finally came in handy.
707  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: huge fuckup on an order from bitmain on: March 26, 2024, 12:00:23 AM
They tell me bitmain gave them the wrong name

bitmain tells me they gave them my name

every document from bitmain I have has my name

every document from dhl has wrong name but to my email which happens to be my name.

Of course, it's a stupid question, but just in case. Are you sure you communicated with the official Bitman shop?

Can you check the originality of the papers that Bitman shows you, whether they may have been edited only for "your eyes"? Some online tools will recognize if an image has been edited, I would check it out.


I have ordered from them fifty times since 2015 same account zero issues.
708  Bitcoin / Hardware / huge fuckup on an order from bitmain on: March 25, 2024, 11:07:02 PM
So I order a t21 and it is direct from bitmain. they use DHL

so item is stuck in customs

address is mine it is correct
phone number is mine it is correct

but some one with the Name:

 Christopher xxxxxxx

Is on DHL paperwork

Not my name
Philip xxxxx

They tell me bitmain gave them the wrong name

bitmain tells me they gave them my name

every document from bitmain I have has my name

every document from dhl has wrong name but to my email which happens to be my name.

 So it is stuck in customs.

bad enough I have 2 more on order so I could be out 3x T21's

has any had a name error like this with bitmain and dhl?

two units one with braiins does 32-37th

one with epice does 20-34th

the case in red is Oem seller the green one is my buddy doing a reprint.

the case has a pair of design flaws.

so in my green rebuild I raised the case allowing a set of 120mm x 38 mm fans.

both are running on the same 120 volt 20 amp circuit pulling about 1400 watts total

so you get over 50th at under 1400 watts.

fan speed on the brains all about 3000 rpm all fans are 120mmx38mm Two fan sizes on the epic in the red case the bottom fans are 120x25mm






note the gray Oem grill it is short and does not allow for unrestricted airflow if you put a 38mm fan I used a 25mm fan on the bottom so the red unit does not cool as well as the green one.  also note I have a 12 inch board under the 2 units along with four white rubber feet to anchor my modded  version


you can see the 25mm fan is tight. you could put this red model with the gray bottom and 38mm fans if you set it on a grill like I did with the green one.














fancy duct restricts air I removed it as it should have flaired outwards not inwards


duct is fitted loosely to show it restricts air flow

No offense taken, I get it now because you replied. It's actually a poem arranged in 3 lines with the syllables. I'm glad I asked the question at least I know this now.

practice writing one or two of them.

I believe many of us are familiar with Dollar Cost Averaging, DCA but how about Smart DCA.

This thread is for discussion, and I am not concluding Smart DCA is actually Smart and better than DCA.  Cheesy


Quote
I wanted to remind you about the concept of Smart DCA, purchasing BTC during corrections, when the price drops below the 1W-1M Realized Price.

This strategy works well during a bull rally and is much more effective than classic DCA.


A quick glance gives me that is a good strategy but if I look deeper, it is not actually smart.

By using Smart DCA, simply glance at it, we see entries are below 1W-1M Realized Price but we will miss days, weeks before price drops behind the Realize price (blue line) and miss chances to buy when price is even lower than the Green areas that are entries given by Smart DCA indicator.

Share your thinking about this strategy please.

Personally I see a traditional DCA strategy is better.

well he only went back to 2022.


I did two moves other than mining from 2022 oct.

I did 1 year dca weekly and I did buy the dip or smart buys


so 52x dca and four dip buys about 5 or 6 x each or 24x buy the dip.


the buy the dip were all under 20k.

the 52 weeks of dca average was about 26k

both made solid money.

But they were for a years time

air in is not needed all the time.  for our farm the space for fans was very limited. We could not get proper flow without using input and exhaust fans.

So I can not do pushups for 100k btc but 100 minutes on the bike and 100 rubber band curls done 3 times for today .

I did 33 min and 20 sec on bike 2 times.
I did 100 rubber band pulls for each arm twice.

After supper I will do 33 min and 20 sec on bike.  this will give me 100 minutes on the bike and the rubber band pulls.

I guess honey badger wants me to work out.
720  Economy / Speculation / Re: Fed rate adjustment on March 19/20 2024 what will happen? on: March 24, 2024, 10:33:49 PM
I think the price went lower because we just had a massive runup with lots of buying from the ETFs and we aren’t seeing the same inflows continue. I doubt it has anything to do with fed rates decisions. That being said, they want to lower but obviously can’t with inflation starting to tick up again. They should raise and try to pop the AI bubble, but they won’t do that either because we’re already seeing cracks forming in housing and private debt. So I think they’ll do nothing but issue a statement saying they’re keeping an eye on inflation.


THAT was actually what the Federal Reserve should have done two years ago. Tighten aggressively, even if that causes a recession, WHILE the people still have their savings intact. Going through it would be easier because they still have their savings as a fall-back. Currently, the people have less to no savings, more debt, and high interests rates with less money in circulation. An economic collapse now would not cause a Recession. It would be worse, a Depression, and it's harder to recover.

BUT let's hope that Jerome Powell is truly in control, and that he will succeed in accomplishing the "Soft Landing".

No he did exactly what was done back in 2007-2008 a longer flat period.  the cut was needed now not in june.  I smell a repeat of 2008.

maybe 🤔 it will help btc more than I think.


A rate cut is actually not needed now, nor will it be needed in June because inflation remains and will remain to be sticky. Plus everyone is very concerned with CPI, that they forget the other important data to watch, the unemployment rate. Jerome Powell's most important decisions will depend on that because if it surges, he's going to be forced to cut rates and turn on the money printer before the economy crashes into a long depression. But if the unemployment rate remains very low, then rates will also remain higher for longer.

and this happened in 2007-2008 the cuts took too long and we crashed.
