As JJG says you are not prepared for uppity.

This is a good chance to do exactly that.

Purchased my $50 dca and $200 dip

These 36k numbers may allow me to move out of the crab status and into Octopus a year faster than planned for.

All 2021 taxes paid in full.

Still waiting for my 2020 refund check I will get a lot of dip with it.

Looks a lot like 2018 and that means get ready for rising difficulty and dropping prices.
7703  Other / Meta / Re: Legendary merit stats on: January 21, 2022, 10:55:01 PM
I admit that I have a good feeling on the forum especially about how I reached Legendary rank. I managed to get 524 merit so far and I was promoted to Legendary at the end of October 2021. I'm excited for that, and I've stated it in a few posts too.

However, I would also like to say that after Legendary was achieved, the amount of merit earned from November to now seems to have been greatly reduced. I've only received 24 merit since then until now although I also keep trying to post something useful. I don't know how many people ignore my post than it deserves, it doesn't matter to me. But I just want you to correct me about do I get more merit because I also believe that it can help other users? I currently have 0 sMerit, it makes it hard for me to appreciate other users' quality posts.

So did some of you suffer the same fate as me?

Yeah I will tell you why you are getting screwed.

1024 makes you look like an old legend that was given 1000 and shit posted his way to 1024.

So many simply skip over you.

When I saw your thread title I wondered if you were an old legend and thought I would not bother reading the thread.

However I did and I also bothered to post a likely explanation of the issue.

Also gave you 2 merits.
7704  Economy / Speculation / Re: Do you believe Michael Saylor is currently getting antsy? on: January 21, 2022, 10:51:30 PM
Isn't he still profitable not only massively with his personal trades, but also with his company's Bitcoin purchases?  Does he have to give back any bonuses or salary?  Do we suddenly forget his name?  Will his creditors break his kneecaps if he can't pay?  Is he having to eat ramen or apply for a job at McDonalds?  Will he suddenly find himself without bikini babes at his mansion?

I think if you answer those questions to yourself, you'll know he's not too worried.  I'm sure if Bitcoin goes to 0 he's still acquired more wealth than 99% of the folks on this forum.  I don't think that's something to get antsy about.  If anything he's plotting another massive buy with a debt offering and trying to get some billionaire buddies on board.  I think his approach is for people to buy all the bitcoins and price them at whatever he wants.  A lower price could be viewed as an easier path to get there.



This part in bold type deserves a merit.
7705  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Good moment to buy btc or eth? on: January 21, 2022, 10:49:51 PM
The decision of when to buy rests on the person who is making the purchase as it would depend on a matter of factors; Someone who is buying in for the long term hodl does not bother about short term price changes and believes that in 10+ years the value is going is to much higher.
Someone who is not buying for the long term are usually more picky about when to buy and would not want to purchase when the price is on the way down. This is much more risky and would require some technical analysis and some luck as well.

I was thinking about long term. Thanks for response.

My advice for coin was just given in a different thread.

...


My suggestion is hope for a crash and buy some coins.

BTW we are down to 38900k

so buy 100 usd worth and then hold 300 in cash.
If we drop to 35 k buy 150 usd worth and hold 150 cash.
 If we drop to 30k buy 75 usd worth
If we drop to 25k buy 75 usd worth.

hodl all of the coin above for 4 years no matter what happens.

 Then thank me.

worst case is you only buy 100 worth at 38900 and it moons.

best case you get to buy all this levels you hold for 4 years and it moons.


I am anti ETH in general

So My advice it to do something like above.

25% of your money  today on BTC hodl it for 4 years

75% save for more drops.

say
35k
30k
25k

or

34k
27k
20k


I would stay away from ETH

but

if you insist

do this

20% on BTC 5% on Eth today hold no mater what for four years

save 75% of your money for more drops

20% BTC 5% Eth. say at 35k and 2500
20% BTC 5% Eth  say at 29k and 1900
20% BTC 5% Eth  say at 23k and 1400

or

33k and 2400
26k and 1700
19k and 1000

good luck

I know this thread is probably long dead... but hoping someone here has access to the latest firmware download for the SP10.

Bricked mine, managed to restore it with recovery and boot images, but its firmware is reset all the way back to 1.3 and there are stability issues with keeping cgminer running.  Hoping someone has the 1.5 fw img somewhere it can be shared.

I gave you a merit for a proper attempt to use an old thread.

Good luck.

Wonder if Intel is planing doing their mining chips at the new Fabs to be built in Ohio? https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/intels-100b-ohio-megafab-could-become-worlds-largest-chip-plant/

maybe the shift of mining away from China and Russia is coming.

Could be interesting for us all.

my $50 A DAY BUY was going to end on my birthday next week

 was keeping it for 2 months.  with the continued drop I will keep it for 3 months.

Very happy with my sale of $17000 worth of  between 61-67k.

Taxes paid and money in hand for cheap coins.  Dip tastes better at 38k than 42k

Maybe we go to 29k and I grab back all of the 17k sold between 61-67k price.

Personally, it seems to me that you should keep your $50 per day until you reach fuck you status or close to fuck you status.

#justsaying.

It's only $350 per week, and you are an old geezer who should be trying to get to retirement.





You will thank me later... or perhaps not.

Yeah may be best thing to do.
7709  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: i have 400$, i cannot buy a good miner, is cloud mining a good idea in this case on: January 21, 2022, 06:10:32 AM
mining in the cloud is complicated.

All cloud mining companies have a "we can fuck you at anytime clause"

So if BTC goes to the moon they will cancel your contract rather than pay you the btc. You will get a refund at best

and if btc crashes and burns they will cancel your contract rather than mine at a loss.

So for cloud mining deal to work you will need to hope Difficulty and BTC price move in such a way that you make a small profit.

Not a loss = the fuck you clause will be used to cancel you
Not a big gain = the fuck you clause will be used to cancel you

My suggestion is hope for a crash and buy some coins.

BTW we are down to 38900k

so buy 100 usd worth and then hold 300 in cash.
If we drop to 35 k buy 150 usd worth and hold 150 cash.
 If we drop to 30k buy 75 usd worth
If we drop to 25k buy 75 usd worth.

hodl all of the coin above for 4 years no matter what happens.

 Then thank me.

worst case is you only buy 100 worth at 38900 and it moons.

best case you get to buy all this levels you hold for 4 years and it moons.

I don't see the point, it is even not a good deal

well i agree i just got two  a4000 for 2250 they use 236 watts and do 58mh each. much better deal

but he is giving a listing which is spammy for this section it belongs in the marketplace section.
7712  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin Mining: you WON’T pay for that card (with assumptions) on: January 20, 2022, 09:18:12 PM
I was planning to buy more new cards for mining but then when I see some reports like this it destroys the will and now planning to sell my active cards. The good thing is I already got the ROI, bought my cards last year January and the price of cards of those days were fine not like today. Also I already made profits about 1000 dollars, so it should be fair to sell my cards half the price. The only thing that keeps me from mining today is I get almost free electricity, I would like some second opinion if I should continue mining or sell my rigs before it is too late? I know the difficulty in mining is getting worst but at the moment I am still okay and earning for about 200 or more dollars a month.

never use words like or.

sell all my cards or mine on ? is a terrible question to answer today.

instead sell ½ the rigs at a fair price.

you hedge the risk that way.

you cant be completely wrong if you sell half the rigs.

you are a winner right now.

 if you sell all the rigs and mining goes up 🆙 you feel like a loser.
if you keep all the rigs and mining crashes you feel like a loser.

if you sell ½ your rigs at a fair price you have to be 50% correct.

much better play to consider a partial sale.

ugh 5 hours or so and damn it is almost 10%

a 10% jump is around 17eh

or  165 s19pro j at 104 = 17160th = 17.160ph
     1650 s19pro j at 104 = 171,600th = 171.60 ph
     16500  s19pro j at 104 = 1,716,000th = 1716.0ph or 1.716 eh


     165000 s19pro j at 104 = 17,160,000th = 17160ph or 17.16 eh


so 165,000 s19s came online. this is 561 megawatts of power

and it is more than 1,815,000,000 at retail price of 11k

if you think wholesale is 8k it would be 1,320,000,000 a lot of fucking cash.

Update on the expected performance specs https://www.anandtech.com/show/17218/intels-next-gen-bitcoin-asic-called-bzm2-built-on-7nm-137-gigahashsec-at-25-w

😄 As I said earlier, that is pretty much what I expected to hear for them. 7nm lets them get REAL experience using their EUV litho processes and in theory by not shooting for 5nm makes it easier to hit those performance targets.
More to the point, of course since they already have Foundries using EUV there are no other customers (or at least very few) vying for a place in the production lines.

Good read.


and an interesting conflict in the story

in that 55 watts a th vs  18 watts a th are both listed As the power  used.

a board with 25 chips burning 2.5 watts = 62.5 watts does 3.425 th if 25 x .137 is correct.

62.5/3.425 = 18.24 watts a th.

now we all know  fans and a controller and other shit = some power.

But I can say 3 boards = 187.5 watts

maybe a six board rig pulling 375 watts + other parts say 75 watts = a 450 watt miner that does 21 th is possible

that makes it 21 or 22 watts a th which is better than all gear other than the s19xp

And if set to be a 450 watt unit it would  be a nice item.

Well if 500 watts and 20th are possible at a good price the small guy will buy it.

If I give both miners the same BTC address, what happens?

I mean:
(Mineadr)
38HRDQeecdfQnCyrnLEtKJGnEsrLG3XUCt

38HRDQeecdfQnCyrnLEtKJGnEsrLG3XUCt

Without a period at the end as you said and without differentiating one from the other, can something happen?


No harm at all, the hashrate just shows as one combined amount.

Only down side is if one shuts off you will not know which one,


btcaddy.1 25th
btcaddy.2 25th

one dies you will see which one.


if both are. btcaddy 25th and btch addy 25th total shows as 50th and you do not know which shut down.

7717  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: For those who have free electricity on: January 20, 2022, 03:08:01 PM
@FP91G you do believe that the Ethereum POS is really coming and PoW mining will end? How certain are you? If this happens it will affect other coins as well because their difficulty will surge I doubt they will remain profitable
I think that in the 2nd quarter of 2022, Ethereum mining will end, or we will have more accurate information. If the current hashrate is directed to other coins, then the profit will fall by 5-10 times. I don't know what coin can replace ethereum, because over 80% of graphics cards mine ethereum.


well my guess is sometime after sept of 2022 they will announce a decision of what to do with eth.


if it goes pos in oct of 2022 I see the largest crash and burn 🔥 of crypto-coins ever.

7720  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Anyone ever try a SecuX hardware wallet. on: January 20, 2022, 04:34:32 AM
If you don't mind, maybe you can also post your honest review in bitcointalk forum, since I am always interested in topic of hardware wallets and new stuff coming out.
I'd like to second that request, as I'm not going to see it on Newegg unless it's linked to here, and there's no need to click away from the forum when the text of the review could easily be included here--and I'm also interested in your review, philipma1957.  It sounds like you've got a nice thing going with either Newegg or their sellers.  I'm actually surprised when I hear things like you receiving free tech for honest reviews.  From what I've seen in the Youtube community, I was under the general impression that "influencers" had to stick to a tight script when doing *fake* reviews.

Then again, Newegg isn't Bitcointalk isn't Youtube, but I'm still a little shocked that a manufacturer would take the chance that a reviewer like yourself might tear their product to pieces.

I've seen the SecuX before, and I was just immediately turned off by its shape.  I do realize that pleasing aesthetics is way down the list of important features for a hardware wallet to have, but since Trezor and Ledger already make solid, simple wallets that are easy to use, how is a newcomer supposed to compete in the HW wallet market?  Ans: having all the features and security that Trezor and Ledger have and producing a sexier-looking device.  The SecuX looks like a woman's powder case or a stop sign.  Blech!

I ripped into a few items. A wd nas was crap 💩 I ripped it hard.

most gear sent is good four star ⭐️  or five 🌟 .

Like the corsair rm650x. which should show soon.

I know the
rm750x is a 4-5 star psu
rm850x is a 4-5 star psu
rm1000x is a 4-5 star psu.

I ran all of them with zero fails. basically if you understand the gears limits and don’t exceed them they are good.

When the 650x comes i will hook it up to a small 2  card build and test if for a month and get back a month later.

Based on the other models It can do 400-425 watts on a kwatt meter 24/7/365 for three or more years.

that would be a 4-5 star review. I know the cables in it are the exact same as the 750,850,1000 models
just a few less of them.

You can say it is a bias but I have used 20 or more of the 750,850,1000 models so I will compare them to the 650. and the 650 will have to do as well as them other than watts.

say

400/650
480/750
575/850
700/1000

If the 650 cant do the 400 watts for months on end it would be a fail compared to the bigger models.
