so overall , i am still bearish on btc. but i am trying to look for every possible chance to trade this market , be it short or long.!




looking at the 4hr chart, btc is creating lower-highs and higher-lows. and right now setting between a support trend (green), and a resistance trend ( red dotted).
the down trend is just a minor one, breaking it will take us to test 4467 area, breaking the green support trend line is a free ticket to rekt city for the bulls.

anyhow a long story short.  the green lines/trend lines are support area. the reds are Resistance. and you know the drill.

for me I am looking for these 2 options to trade.

1 > breaking the green support line to go short and target the lower support lines
2 > breaking 4700$ up to go long because that could be an easy trip to 5.4k to 5.5k.


this is just a zoom in the overall bearish prospective that can be found here > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5071613.msg48030883#msg48030883

I chose to use Google Chrome. it is different from being forced to use something I do not like. you don't get the point, people will still sue bitmain for the fact that their asics ran a few minutes/seconds on someone else's account , be it UNICEF or even the devil, it makes no difference. they will always have a way to complain. the only way would be for bitmain to manually turn on every Asic and pre-config each client's worker after the buyer sends his worker details after payment ( which is impossible to be done), then people will not be silly enough to file a lawsuit. a side from that they will always complain and nag about the silliest things.

I hate bitmain probably as much as anybody else, i am not defending them by any means, but they really have them selves covered really will. they have the best lawyers and they know what they are doing. if anything this is nothing but a waste of time, nobody will win against bitmain in court for something like that. for all we know bitmain can simply deny they own the default worker and that it is randomly generated. unlike us the Judge has not been screwed by bitmian ever, he or she needs to judge according to solid facts and evidence.

ok so 1.4 days for the next difficulty drop ( about 14% drop) . so we will have slightly better chance for the next round 

could be, but i would place my bet on you having a back-up pool on nicehash, so someone rented your hashrate to mine some shitcoin and found a block on that coin! . shit happens. one of my S9s found over 170 blocks while mining on NH with best share not even high enough to solve the first block that was mined by satoshi lol.

if you have access to free gas , then you might just sell the power to the electric company. I do not know about the law in your country/city. but in many countries if you access to any sort of power generation asset, be it gas, a river, wind etc, you can build a Power station, connect it to the main network. and get paid as you go.

anyway back to the topic !

let me start by telling you that I am afraid your estimated cost is way off !, excuse my poor English, but if the natural gas you talking about is the same one i know then to get a 60 kva you are talking about 20k++.  now that's the average Chinese thing. while looking for a more robust generator like say CAT then you are looking at 2x-3x the price, or at least the same price for a second hand.

another thing to keep in mind is, all these generators are not meant for 24/7/365 ! . even if it's not mentioned on their product manual, trust me. I know this because I worked for years in a remote area where the nearest power supply was 400km far and we had to use our own generated power mostly from Diesel and Gas generators. 

the second ugly truth is, those things need a lot of maintenance, they are not much different from the once that your electricity provider use. theirs are just much bigger and most likely of much better quality, but even those have to undergo scheduled and unscheduled maintenance.

to sum up this whole thing, i would just let you know that is IMPOSSIBLE to generate free or very cheap power in medium scale. you either go small, like using wind turbine or solar power for a few asics or go big ( Millions if not billions) to create your own infrastructure that will provide you with very cheap electricity.

1.5 days for the drop . btcwisdom is showing (5,702,705,853,580 (-14.29%)) . you almost nailed it.

i'l take 16% too   . can't wait to see another huge red candle, sideways market for a few months, more drop in the difficulty, and more BTC for me  

with all respect, I think having your pool url and worker ready and pasted on a txt file, and then changing the first pool to yours and hitting save will be much faster than unplugging and plugging the pcie's on and off the miner, the time wasted in doing so is money loss for you.

assuming your loss is only 1 cent ( for the sake of argument) and your miner finds a block or twenty blocks for bitmain ! why would one care? i rather start making money ASAP than having to worry if my Asic magically hit a block for bitmain in the 5 seconds period that i need to copy-paste-save my own pool.

but again this is all PERSONAL points of view which non is wrong.

but again going back to the topic , i am no law-expert but this lawsuit is only going to waste. from the technical aspect's point of view the miner has to come up with a WORKING pool for the average person to see it hashing, or else it gets stuck at a socked failure thing showing nothing. so bitmain has to either put their own worker, or someone else's for that matter, and since bitmain can't magically pre-input EVERYONE's worker then the default worked could be anything except for the owner of that asic. so from a $ point of view, your asics will have to run for x amount of time without hashing to your account. plain and simple !

Now unless bitmain PROMISED not to have their worker's as a default,  then how is the judge going to hold it against them?

if this does even make sense, then i could sue ACER or/and Microsoft because when i bought my last laptop , i opened IE and the first  thing came out to me was an MSN page full of bullshit ads and links ( someone made money of me seeing those ads). IE should open with a blank page for that matter !.

** I had to use IE to download Google Chrome by the way  

anything above 0 does count, that is basic math that i do not intend to argue about  . this is going no where. Mods  feel free to delete the topic  thanks

well anything above 0 counts. talk about solving the next block

i just found a litecoin block with a useless L3 in less than a week, what are the odds?   probably much lower than the existence of God . so i have an actual point .
 

I could not agree more.

ok it was not exactly 6.5B , but anyway he means the total volume of major exchanges which is calculated by coinmarketcap.

The concept of believing in God is the same, it's only that different people imagine God to be something different from the others, but we are not here to argue about this. but for the sake of your argument, even if i had 1 in 3000+ chance to be saved from a something that has the smallest chance of happening, why risk it for no reward?''

why not pick option 2, enjoy your life, live once and maybe twice ! how does believing in God keep you from enjoying your life?



Athiets also blindly follow other's beliefs, unless you are the FIRST person to believe in something then you are simply following someone else.



I do not want to debate about whether a believer who does no good deeds will go to heaven or not, but if there is God, what makes you think he cares more about the good souls than those who believe in Him, God's logic does not have to fit into ours, if you had to judge you will chose the good atheist over the bad believer, but God might have a different prospective of judging things, and if this has a 1% chance of happening you are still risking , so why not be a believer and a good person? not trying to make you believe in God i just need a reasonable reason for the risk you taking !



you are too naive to believe that God and Church are even related, I have never been to any church before. you see you are mixing religion with God. to believe in God you do not have to follow a religion also you can still be a member of the church and believe there is no God. your logic here does not make sense, i am only disusing consequences of believing or disbelieving in God, not even whether he exist or not

you bet what? a horse? i dare you ! send me a pm, we could very likely arrange a meeting the 3 of us and have a little debate, plus i am not trying to win any  argument here, if turns out to be a God i could care less if you or anybody else burns in hell fire so why would I try to win an argument ? i am not even trying to convince anybody to believe in God, i am simply asking a question that non of you have answered, WHAT IF YOU WERE WRONG? i need to understand the logic of taking such a risk when believing in God takes nothing but a moment of deep thinking, it requires no church nor priest.

and no my friend did not go " hallelujah , God forgive me for not believing you in you and now I do". shit like that did not happened,probably will never happen !  i did not say it, you came up with it ! i said i opened his eyes ! not converted him ! he just started to consider the consequences of option no.2,  unless you have a proper reason to take that risk then it does not seem like smartest thing to do.


and if i am not a liar then what are you ? i'll be so nice and allow you to call yourself whatever that lets you sleep at night.

this is not competition nor a debate that i have to win, thinking that i would lie about something like this is really childish, i am not sure if this is the results of not believing in God or pure naivety from the two of you !, again i'd like to believe it's no 2.

the comment above you, said he BET , so if you want to bet too, let's make this official, set the prize and suggest the way you see fit for proof.

High volume with no significant increase in price is usually a sign for reversal, and still i do not really give volume that much of a thought, i use plain support / resistance and price action

A few weeks ago ,I had a long debate with an Atheist friend, a debate about the existence of God. we have been trying to ignore such a debate for a while but it had to take place.

since i can not prove that there is a God , simply because you can't close your eyes and expect to see the light ! but i finally won the debate and opened my friend's eyes.

so after a long debate that led to no way. I had to ask my friend a simple question, and this goes to all the Atheists.

Since death is certain,what is the risk that each of us is taking now ? who is risking more ?

when we die, there are 2 possible scenarios

1- (there is no God) That's the end, , no judgment, no saving,no hell fire, no heaven.
2- (there IS God) resurrection will happen, judgement will happen, disbelievers will go to hell fire.


To me as a believe am risking nothing, i will be good with both scenario mentioned above, it's either heaven or nothing ! so i am not risking anything !
To my Atheist friend, he is good if scenario number one happen, but he sure as hell won't be good if it turns out that there is a God, its either hell or nothing!

so the certain fact here that Atheists are taking a great risk for almost no reward.

now as an Atheists i want you to explain to me why would you be taking a big risk even if it has a 1% chance of failure?


 

When moon ?

 opportunity ? FUD ? huh ! what are you talking about. i am not satoshi and bitcoin is not my wife. I want to make $$ . i don't know why are you into crypto if not for that ! . when i said the worst is yet to come and sold all of my btc the price was about 5.7k , it went like 37% down. if i wana buy all in right now, it means i am getting 25% discount. should the price go to back to 5.7k again " the time i started the FUD' i would have at least 36% more btc. if i catch another low, i get even more BTC.

there is no FUD here,i am just an average dude and most people who read my shit are average folks with tiny to no impact on the market, i will always SELL btc whenever the chance is there, i could care less where is it going to the next month or year, my target is to get as many BTC as i can before the bull run begins. cheers

i have to disagree, the chart of bitcoin still look very bearish. i am not giving you any exact entries what so ever, but i suggest you be careful and do not fomo.

as for the support lines , the strongest support BTC had by far is the 5800-6200 area, that was the only support one could bet on, held well for the whole year, the 4k support is nothing, we could pass through it like a hot knife through butter. the only support before 2700-3100$ is the recent low of 3600$.

should we continue to go up (unlikely) the 5800 will be the strongest resistance ever, you will be surprised about the selling pressure coming on the way.

I have 0 explanation on how it worked for me. but it worked, like 3 times so far !

the missing hashboard on some asics is just random for most of the time, the last time it happened for me was after a power outage, power came back, everything was running great until i got an email from awsome miner says "low hash rate on s9". went to check, and found a board missing. but thank god it's working now. don't ask me how and why. just try it at YOUR OWN RISK  

I think nobody have answered your main question, rather everyone gave you solutions which is very nice of them.

the answer to your question is YES . the set up would work.

now that is from a technical point of view. but the economical point of view is that if you have a voltage converter that can handle the load required by the T9 then go for it. but if you have to buy it then it is not worth it  " at least based on the current income of the old T9 you have".

now as for solutions, you have a few.

1- look for a firmware that allows you to modify the freq and undervold your T9 till it can be handled by the Apw3 on 110v.
2- take one of the hashing board out
3- risky * run the 3 boards, see if the psu is not overloaded, watch it for a day or so, it might just work !

but again, the T9 is really not worth mining with unless you have access to free of at least very cheap power rate. use whattomine.com to do the calcs, don't forget to reduce 1-3% of whatever profit they show you, for pool fees/internet failures/stale shares/pool bad luck.

if it will cost you more in power than profit. you better of keeping it switched off and buy btc directly.
