I was wondering why our competitor (cough-eth-cough) declined much more today.
Apparently, there was a 7 block reorg in their "beacon chain".
Will go without a linky, you can find it yourself at the relevant reddit.
Additionally, it looks like miners interfered with their testnet.
I always thought that they are unlikely to simply switch off their equipment and "succumb".
Maybe that POW>POS transition would not be without some contention after all.
mr v is a fucking idiot. nuff said |

Gaming doesn't redline your memory clock 24/7, the end.
and only mentally ill miners max their clocks. All my clocks for ram are well under redline. This is the critical reason my cards do not break. setting a 3080 non lhr to 100+ core and 800 ram with 235 watts with 60% fans yields good numbers without stressing the cards. putting the cards in these rigs https://minerdude.com/product/x12012022/. saves the cards. I have 100% rate on my rtx 3000 cards. Not a single one has failed since fall of 2020 Repeat not a single one has failed. If a gamer wants a card and does not buy from me (when and if I sell) he is stupid. End of story. |

USDT was created by BitFinex and is based on Hong Kong, China, USDC was created by Circle and is based in Boston, USA, Russian oligarchs are heavily invested in stablecoins and a ban is imminent. Blockchain based POW currencies cannot be banned, and will not move to 0... Would kind of force mr v to stay pow, do you have any deeper info on this? |

Depressed over Ray Liotta dying at 67.
Found some math made it worse.
at 65(my age) the odds to reach
70 = 90%
80 = 62% this surprised me I though it was better found this depressing
90 = 22%
100 = 9.5% this surprised me I had thought was worse.
info was from google and the guardian

Yeah I am 65 so 67 is too close for comfort.

It feels to me like we're back in an accumulation phase with this sideways movement. I'd be extremely bullish but there are a few factors to consider.
1) We are at the point in the cycle where another drop is to be expected.
2) Mtgox coins are still hanging over the market's head.
3) Leveraged long positions on bitfinex are at an all time high meaning a lot of selling needs to take place to cover those positions.
Those are 3 factors that shouldn't be ignored by anyone looking to invest. It is still quite likely that there's another big drop in store, even if the market is feeling particularly bullish.
#3 is the worst one... I think we might be just about to see those things closed out one way or the other... I think #2 is the worst one. There are a whole lot of coins that will be dumped on the market. That would likely trigger #3 and only accelerate the downturn. Without an ETF to soak up some of that liquidity, it might be a bad time for the BTC price. With so much leveraged action on the long side, it will be difficult to see another big leg up without first seeing a capitulation drop. I think this is a very good reason to have 20-30k or more in cash ready for a drop under 20k. I laddered 2k at 21,20,19,18,17 and 3.3k at 10,9,8 |

Did you guys notice that USDT has lost 10 billion on Market Cap Since the LUNA Incident (11-05-2022)?
What Next?
who cares? this is the bitcoin WO thread. Yeah but if it fails BTC will drop 3-5k. I altered all my USDC and USDT to cash a month ago. Rather have 20-30k in fiat and wait for the next move to make than have 20-30k in stable coins. I have received some very low gear price offers. So I know there is a lot of scared money as I type this. |

First off are you USA based? Ebay is okay get an s9I or an s9J or a s9 do not get an s9k https://www.ebay.com/itm/203858035995? good seller but a bit pricey https://www.ebay.com/itm/175281849399? good seller but a bit pricey look at auctions you may get a psu and an s9 for 200-220 if lucky the reason they are not cheaper is they earn $1.25 pre power. many have free power limited amounts but enough to run 1 s9 So 200 x 1.25 = 250 which means they pay off in 200 days if you are free power. |

Hello, I never mined before, I very 4 GB GPU, I want to setup it for mining, how to ? I want to mine litecoin (not solo)
This post has so much wrong but I get it you are new. 1) wrong section to ask >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> correct board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=160.02) gpu's are not good to mine ltc >>>>>>>>>>>>> use the l3+ the L7 to an Apollo all asic miners 3) 3gb gpus are weak and do not mine well. >>>>>> maybe you can do ETC with a gpu |
|
|

First of all if the prices of the gpu were lowered it would be good for all gamers and miners, the gpu that have been used for mining, squeezed to the maximum of their capacity have a shorter life cycle than a gpu with normal wear, i just think that's why they are avoided
yeah a complete falsehood. I know my 150-200 cards in hand are perfectly fine for gamers to buy (if I were to sell them) My cards are properly treated |

Thank you for the information. I'm just curious, if I would be to do an experiment with, let's say, 10 ASIC usb stick miners, how much BTC would I make in one day on a normal pool (not solo)? you do not want the stick miners. 10 x 300gh = 3th that is about 33 cents a day if you want small you can buy a 1 board s9 clock it low and get 3th the same 33 cents. but the cost to buy 10 stick miners is in the 1000's and the cost to buy an s9 is in the 100's if you want small you can do the Apollo there is a thread on it here maybe it is 400 or 500 for a full kit. I would buy the Apollo or a 1 board s9 over 10 usb sticks all off the top of my head. but close enough to understand the math favors the usb sticks the least. |

I think this Covid stuff is just a speed bump for China. I would hardly call them a declining power. They will most certainly be the world's leading superpower in another 15 years, regardless of how much their growth slows. I think as the world continues to evolve, China will find itself in an increasingly powerful position. They have a lot of their side for the future. I wouldn't count them out...
he/she m-milf the op did not say they were declining power the op said they would slow their growth which is a decline growth rate. I think a good example is btc it will never grow at the rate it did from 2009 to now. 10000 btc for 1 pizza is now 291,110,000 so 10 bucks became 29,111,000 bigger that growth rate will decline |

canning with mason jars is pretty easy.
I do a few bushels of tomatoes for sauce.
Learn to dry meat into beef jerky. both beef jerky and mason jarred tomato will last a long time.
get a quality water filter and filter the water boil it and can it in mason jars.
Get dry beans. store in metal bento boxes.
get rice. store in metal bento boxes.
I can do all of the above for under $500 usd. I would have supplies for a few months if I did it.
learn to make varied meals from above. you will need some basic spices.
Make sure you have at least 2 guns or shotguns with ammo for self defense or suicide if things get truly stupid.

in 2018 diff went up Jan to Oct while price unwound. We finally became saturated in October and diff lowered and flattened for 6 or 7 months. we appear to be copying that pattern. the wild card is mr v and his eth machine I guess we will see what he does this summer. One good thing about this year we has a few good drops over 4% I think in early 2018 we never had any good drops. I went back and looked at 2018 and every diff jump from Jan 1 to july 21 was a plus then 1 drop then all plusses til oct 10 or so. basically like 19 or 20 to the plus side. all with dropping prices. while 2022 is 10 up with 3 down during a market dropping prices. So maybe we are not a real mirror of 2018. It would be nice to get a good rally from now til fall simply surprise all people. all my stats came from here. https://www.coinwarz.com/mining/bitcoin/difficulty-chart |

mr v will forever be known as the king of crash once he make his pos move.
when this market does the longest hardest crash ever seen.
He will be so ripped for crashing the market it will be amazing.
All he needs to do is wait for the crash then do eth pos to save crypto.
I wonder if he hopes for market to crash in June and July ?

The cards used for mining run almost 24/7 so while some people wouldn't care so long as the cost was friendly, if I were in the gamer's shoes
Gaming exerts heat/cooling cycles on the video card while mining is a stable 24/7 load. Gaming power usage is higher than mining for most coins. Heat cycles tend to crack solder joints over time, which is the most common reason a video card becomes defective. But unfortunately, logic & reason does not matter to gamers, so they can continue experiencing higher failure rates. Yep. Most gamers that are not side mining run their cards to the max for 3-5 hours shut the gear off and power up a day later. Thus killing gear. Any sane rational gpu miner know to under volt and clock properly. I have 1080ti's still working 24/7/365 since dec 2017 which is actually more like 24/7/1700 Tired of gamers they are simply economic fools (unless they side mine while sleeping). Honestly as a miner I am about 980 and 20 with cards since 2012 At least 150 were used. The used are likely 150 and 0. My evga are in the prefect range say 200 and 0 Mostly MSI Asus Dual Gigabyte Power color are the failed ones. |

I can understand both of those things. Regarding the government overreach perhaps an alternative would be to take control of the armed forces away from the government, put it in the hands of the people somehow. Then perhaps the 2nd amendment would not be necessary for at least that side of things.
That was what the second amendment was supposed to be for. Funny how that worked out. Bingo. Btw, American colonists were all armed to the teeth, multiple guns in every household... but no mass school shootings. Huh? Yeah, but let's not address today's youth mental health crisis in America, let's just take away everyone's right to bear arms instead. That will fix everything.  Well I have 2 shotguns old school 2 barrel. I also have an armor vest. But a 2 barrel break load shotgun is not a mass assault weapon. These shooters get guns that can fire 10, 20, 30 rounds and reload in five seconds I have no problem on a longer background check for buyers of weapons that can do 10,20,30 rounds or easily modified to be able to do that. A shotgun like this one below :  would have very little or no back ground check and an ak-47 has very strict background check. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47I have a right to bear arms in USA doe that mean I get to have 2 tactical Nukes? A dozen missiles etc.? I would say no. But my opinion does not count for much. And many in the usa have a stupid amount of guns and ammo as they wait for the end of times. |

I have $300k plus in
ltc/doge asics
btc. asics
gpus
I have a lot of available power and space.
My issues are cooling and a need for cheap gear.
Cards are pricey and asics are worse.
