$63k in one two hours Tongue
Hope chart buddy accepts your proposal but here we are seeing pump for ants  Grin


Yes the volume is virtually non existent

One of the most interesting parts of this "cycle" in my opinion.  It is not retail.  The retail markets are nothing more than an unreliable oracle so far.  And the majority of acquisition is happening in dark pools.

If retail DOES start to buy this cycle they are going to soak up the available float so fast it will make peoples eyeballs pop out.

Watch.

(If it does not happen this time, which is hard to even accept as possible without some giant global macro black swan... it WILL happen in the next cycle.)

I still like the extended cycle in which we possibly go sideways until the next cycle and the drop this summer was the low point.

I prefer over plan b model and the idea of not topping off but going sideways ending the four year cycle pattern is possible.

I suggest looking at mining growth patterns from now till the spring.  But as the daying goes another day another stack of sats.

I see now. Good article below sums it all up. Essentially:

the nine-member jury found that none of the four crypto products at issue in the case was a security, so Fraser could not be liable for securities fraud.


https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/apparent-first-conn-class-action-jury-finds-crypto-products-are-not-securities-2021-11-03/

Genius move by Homero to dress the hashlets up in PNGs and add rocket boosts and all that shit... turns out that makes nine random people believe that they have control over the result. Who could have thought Roll Eyes

This sounds like it should be appealed.

Edit - just to clarify for anyone who may not remember how this worked: there were no "mining pools" like the Reuters article claims, the whole thing was fake AF. So at best you had 4 or 5 different securities (fake "pools") that you could switch between (and even then only one hashlet type allowed switching; others were locked into one "pool"), but the results had fuck all to do with user's actions. That's like saying your ability to trade stocks at a brokerage makes them not a security because your decisions affect your profits.

Someone really messed up those jury instructions or the jurors are as dumb as a bag with nine rocks in it.


I accidentally exposed the lack of pools by mining at mmpool.org

I used nicehash west and did not use nice hash east.

as I had a small amount of the xpy coins and they based the payouts on nice hash east.{iirc}-

So since they had no hash and only mirror the nice hash numbers. I drove the earnings up 6 fold.  I pointed it out and got a lot of threatening emails and pm's I sold my few hash lets.  mentioned that the model they used to 'mine' was no good.

The amazing thing is the con still want on for six more months even though I clearly showed they had fucked up methods to determine earnings.

Dammit, Wall Observers!  They're onto us.

 https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/sci-tech/world-s-richest-1-per-cent-will-emit-too-much-to-limit-global-warming-to-1-5-c-study-1.5653753


"They found that the richest one per cent and the richest 10 per cent of the population are on track to emit 30 times and nine times, respectively, more carbon dioxide than the level compatible with the 1.5 C goal."


I hate seeing people writing obvious BS articles as if they know what they're talking about!
The "space tourism" they cite, yea... Hydrogen & Liquid Oxygen fuel emits water vapor, no CO˛.
This is nothing more than "Hate The Rich!" & "We All's Gonna Die!!!" Bullshit propaganda.

I'm not a climate science expert, but I know water vapor is much worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas.

Quoted from the article:
"So has – more recently and “most egregiously,” according to the study – the introduction of “hyper-carbon-intensive luxury travel space tourism” in 2021. For example, a single 10-minute flight for around four passengers can burn hundreds of tonnes of carbon, the researchers said."

Now, sure, water vapor emitted into upper atmosphere can mix with other chemical pollutants to cause Oł damage, as well as vapor clouds effecting heat retention, BUT that is NOT what the article is saying! The writer is 100% pulling shit out of his ass to put in a blog.

China's emissions have gone up exponentially since the start of the Paris Accords and the US has made bigger cuts to CO˛ emissions after LEAVING the Paris accords than all other participants combined! Guess what has had the greatest impact on carbon reduction... Fracking! Oh the Horror! Right!?!
It's all a bunch of BS! The most effective way to reduce our ecological impact is to promote growth & economic prosperity! Hungry people living in poverty don't give a Fuck about environmental issues! If they can burn old tires to keep their children from freezing in the winter they'll happily do so! But much more commonly they cut down trees and burn wood! (The most ecologically inefficient form of energy... deforestation!) And if you really want to get into the root of the problems it's not the carbon footprint of the 1%! It's the heavy metal mining, and toxic processes used to generate touch screens and solar panels... there's a reason why it's all done in China & Thialand, OUR environmental restrictions are far to restrictive to allow such industries to operate in any competitive manner. And disposal of all these solar panels, touch screens, & windmill propellers??? Good Luck!

Sorry just tired of BullShit propaganda obfuscation of things that we actually CAN do to make things better.

The true key is clean water for showering and drinking.

Incentives for blowjobs handjobs rimjobs muffdiving.  Simple easy way to reduce population growth worldwide.

In 1957 the worlds pop was under 3 billion
In  1969 the worlds pop was over 3 billion
Now in 2021 the worlds pop is about 8 billion.

Pay people to make no kids just have lots of fun sex.  Problem solved.

Just a thought . Not a real solution.

Interesting analysis of the potential top price of this cycle:

https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/estimating-this-cycles-bitcoin-price-top-2021-11-06

TL;DR 160-368K (midpoint 264K)..peachy

I am a wee bit confused about the definition of "cycle" that the article is using.

Haven't we already established that this cycle has a time element too.. so when is the time element that the article is predicting in terms of when this supposed top will happen?

Well the question is not the top of the cycle as much as it is the length.

I still think the cycle will stretch further then any former cycle has ever been.

Which means not NOV/DEC 2021 blow off and decline starts Jan 2022

Mainly due to covi-19/chip shortages/ supply chain issues / money printers go brrrr /

In Jan 2022 social security will go up 5.9% biggest jump since Ronald Reagan was the prez.

But life is unpredictable if you try to pick the ending month of this cycle it is hard to do.  Should be fun to watch it unfold .  I root for 6-8 months of sideways and Maybe May 17 we do the real jump up. Till August 1st.
 2022 say 300k then we drop.
8311  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoincore has lost blockchain/wallet? on: November 06, 2021, 05:02:15 PM
And how much coin is in the wallet?

you do not need to be exact.

say it is under 0.01 btc

or over 0.01 btc


reasoning is 0.01 x 62000 is 620 usd which sucks to lose but should not be the end of the world for you


while 0.1 or 0.5 is 6200 to 31000 usd which make it all the more important to understand what you are doing.

There are hardware wallets like the trezor.io which are easier to use. They are pretty safe.
8312  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Water curtain and Fire suppression on: November 06, 2021, 02:28:00 AM
Not going to talk about water curtains for cooling.

Cooling dense containers are complex problems with a lot of details.

Fire suppression can be done with gas like  co2 and fire 🔥 blankets.

This will offer  protection to the equipment.

Obvious that a power cutoff to each and every container must be in place.

If a fire starts power is turned off to that container.

Possible release of a safe fire suppression gas and fire blankets can cut the o2  off to the gear.

So auto power shut down is a must.

8314  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Is GPU mining really dying? on: November 05, 2021, 06:06:53 PM
You are probably focusing on the POS coins that are being hyped right now like the Solanas, Polkadots, Lunas etc so there is a feeling that POW is missing a big share of the hype, but It doesn't mean GPU mining is dying. New coins that can be mined by GPUs today and seem less profitable could be of so much value tomorrow. I think being among the early miners of the coin and patience is part of the game.

It's funny, those pos, defi, or any other token coins I see no value in them, long term all scams and yet look what scammers have done to them, gave those coins value so sheeps can go into a huge parabolic pyramid scheme and then they will simply rugpull them, one by one will simply disappear, scammers know they need to create new coins and then hype them in order for them to earn 1000x, so reason 99% of new coins die once the bullrun is done for, many new coins already lost 99.99% of value and simply died, many more coming once this is over. See defi, pos, tokens from nothing will never be like pow coins, pow coins used value to exist, all others used nothing but hype to exist, long term is only pow, anything else is just scam concerning real value.

metroid is spot on.

To all pos = piece of shit

8316  Economy / Speculation / Re: Tesla accepting Bitcoin payments and ..... Doge ? on: November 05, 2021, 02:03:10 PM
This looks like a pump for dogecoin. I think Elon musk is in love with the coin as a hodler or he wants to help longtime hodlers to have a feel of the pump again. The meme coins are getting hyped by musk and what reason he chose it above other use case altcoins still remains unknown.

Actually it is not unknown.

the ltc/doge merged mining via asics is a solidly backed network with huge amounts of asics.

You have btc the largest asic network most gear ⚙️ etc.

you have eth blended asic/gpu very large gear network

you have doge/ltc the third largest asic network no danger of a 51% attack.

so that is only four well backed mining coins.

btc the king
eth the wannabe with a flaw of too much in mr v’s hands of power.
doge/ltc. ltc is a clone of btc but doge is not

if you fail to see this oh well that is on you.

if pow  coins are to last the doge/ltc merged mining ⛏ will last and thrive.
8317  Economy / Speculation / Re: Tesla accepting Bitcoin payments and ..... Doge ? on: November 05, 2021, 01:40:09 PM
Dogecoin has a place.

HERE IS WHY:

Year 1 x coins
year 2 2x coins 100% inflation
year 3 3x coins  50% inflation
year 4 4x coins 33% inflation
year 5 5x coins 25% inflation
year 6 6x coins 20% inflation
year 7 7x coins 16.67% inflation
year 8 8x coins 14.71% inflation
year 9 9x coins 12.5% inflation
year 10 10x coins 11.11% inflation
year 11 11x coins 10% inflation

year 20 20x coins
year 21 21x coins 5% inflation

year 30 30x coins
year 31 31x coins 3.33% inflation

year 40 40x coins
year 41 41x coins 2.5% inflation

year 50 50x coins
year 51 51x coins 2% inflation


so as clearly shown this is a highly regulated decreasing rate of inflation.

it is not a clone of btc it is truly different method

I would say it is way way way way better than fiat
that has zero inflation regulation and any cash 💰 is subject to terrible inflationary pressure.

Is it better than btc no it is not it is different.


BTW i have 17000 doge
I also have a down payment on the Tesla truck.
I also mine doge.

So you see I may buy that truck with doge.

8319  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: 2021, time for a new general & diff speculation thread... on: November 04, 2021, 02:08:28 PM
Two bits of information that maybe of interest, my apologies if this is old stuff:

1. blockchain.com estimates network hashing rate at 186 EH. Someone is adding a fair amount of hashing power

That's probably inaccurate especially if you are looking at the raw instant data, it's all over the place because it takes the block finding pace to calculate the hashrate, so if say 3 blocks were found in 15 mins instead of 30 mins their software would assume that the hashrate increased by a huge margin, and the same will happen if say 30 mins passed without anyone finding a block.


With that said, there is indeed newly added gears, but you don't have to go that far to figure out who is adding it and whether the world has the ability to make gears, we have at least 25% of whatever the average hashrate for the last epoch still missing, it was there once and it went offline, so it's only a matter of time before those gears start showing up.

And as for those who keep buying and S19 for S19 pro when we are just a few months away from what's likely going to be the end of this bull cycle - I don't know how they survive but I bet they will do a lot better than the newcomers who have yet to hear about bitcoin mining.

I can almost tell you exactly how things are going to play out, in the next few weeks/months BTC and all crypto will make huge moves to the upside, the price increase on BTC will offset any difficulty concerns regardless of how large they may be, the profitability of those S19s will go to the roof, people will pay 15-20k to get them but the party will be over well before they know it and bitcoin prices will come crashing rendering those S19s unprofitable for the majority of people, the smart ones will be collecting them for dust when the "not so smart" ones can't mine with them.

If you think the above scenario is me overestimating how things are going to be just look at prior market cycles, the human psychology never changes, people bought S9s for 2-3k probably even 4k a few days/weeks before the bear market, that same S9s were sold for $100 and less just a few months later, it will be fun to watch how things unfold, the next a few months will be very interesting for every miner.

Or we slide sideways for months on end. With no blow off top this dec.
