A Russian aluminum plant owned by Deripaska's Rusal, reportedly closed by US sanctions, will be transformed into a bitcoin mining hub, w/part of site leased to Russian Mining Company (RMC), which aims to cover 20% of the world market w/UK-based Cryptonex

Source: https://twitter.com/WendySiegelman/status/1189670451104165888


I started a thread on this.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5197354.msg52932078#msg52932078


But it really seems to me that whales or whoever have completely lost their minds on making big mining farms at this point in time...

Bitmain came through on a previously almost defunct Texas site, the above Russian site and the claim today that Russia wants to control 20% of BTC mining,

the previous big mining farms overseas and in California now.

So, I don't get it. With price and difficulty where it is now (see my thread for polls) are the whales simply nuts like the rest of us and buying miners on a hope

and a prayer or a pump? Or do they have some government/institutional support now and with halving are making their move.

Again, with price/difficulty I'm not seeing it..then again I'm not a whale...

“Over in Europe and Japan they have NEGATIVE RATES. They get paid to borrow money. Don’t we have to follow our competitors?” @Varneyco  Yes we do. The Fed doesn’t have a clue! We have unlimited potential, only held back by the Federal Reserve. But we are winning anyway!"

Sitting President just retweeted we should have negative interest rates. Its time to stop thinking of the run to 100k and just accept the fact that this Bull Run may not end till we get to 1 million.



I literally sided' ed my house and new windows (last 3 sides) and enclosed my porch on a hedge from, what I see, of the next recession! (20% recession...I expect 40%

downturn this next recession). Out of my Traditional investments thru broker and retirement stuff, as a pre-emptive hedge on this view.

I have heard that instead of the 2-7 year recovery from past recession experts are now saying 7-12 years. So I paid for the first 1/2 at the last ATH on my traditional

investments and stocks etc and I'll pay the rest as it is done this week on this week's ATH of traditional investments and be all caught up, at ATH withdrawals on this.

On the other hand in full HODL mode on Bitcoin Hoard, this is my frigging HARD as a 40% recession viewpoint, to take some cream off the top.

So no debts, newer truck *72k miles*, the house is done as far as last major projects go, and paid off also. I'm as prepared as I can expect today.

Big ASIC mining at home done a while back, Big Data Hall ASIC mining done this year, hmmmm...

Now, what the hell am I gonna do for coping mechanisms? Start canning goods and build a bunker?

hmmmm......

it's quiet,... it's too quiet....(freaking myself out here...got to where I need to be....need some new goals I guess, besides HODL mode...)

But anyway, we will see, but again, I think we are gonna be in for a doozy of a recession, about 40% downturn at least, thus my ducks are in a row

but how about you?

Last time I was this bored...I decided to put up the old bbs/game server and pay $75 in electric for the fun of such again...and instead drifted into a

2013 KNC ASIC Jupiter BTC Miner instead. Now if I can just pull something out of my 'boredom' hat again! (That is damn unlikely).

Anyway, calling it a win and moving on to something else..not sure what...but Trump Administration and such has put me at the points above and

solidified full HODL mode on Bitcoin Hoard. So we will see I guess.

[...]

I suppose there may be a small chance and the tariffs could go away, but even with above, not working in my circumstances. Sad Still does not make a lot of sense for me at 10c kWh, but thanks for the info. At least I can sit on the sidelines and watch the ASIC wars from the bleachers!

As for me, I would make 19c a day after electric. Yech! Using above 31TH at 2,200 watts, at 10c kWh. So right now with a Bimain S9i, I purchased this summer (dubious never to ROI..my ASIC hoard is down to this ONE unit now)

I'd make -31c USD per day at the above rate according to https://whattomine.com/asic anyway at my dubious 10c kWh rate. I make underclocked at a stable 13.27TH and 1,100 watts, well don't really make, I lose, Hardly worth the extra 19c with a loss. So that boat doesn't float. Anyway (gets popcorn) will continue to watch from the sidelines in the bleachers!

Good prices though, if not yet justified by the price, might have taken a chance on some on hope/prayer of BTC price going up still and stabilizing.

Not with the tariff, however. Sad

If they sell the 1026 with moq of one no trump tax.

If they ship a moq of 60 of them to blokforge trump tax.

Not sure what you mean by above moq? of one no Trump tax? Am I missing a memo here somehow?

Could you clarify for us on this thread? This whole tariff one day a new one coming another not so much is confusing as hell

likely won't get any, but I like to watch the ASIC porn of new equipment and other folk getting it (I'm sooooo..bored not mining anymore) Sad

thanks

945  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: From financial debt to financial stability- thanks to bitcoin on: October 28, 2019, 02:50:06 PM
Yep. Got into BTC because I was bored and gonna put up a huge bbs/game server again, which would have probably cost me like $75 a month in electric to get the towers up and
learn how to run them under a better machine in emulation etc. (Figure'd that would be about $2.6k of newer replacement bbs equipment or thereabout). Also had some *3* Game of Throne Swords the Damascus Steel Versions with low collectible numbers. The book version http://www.valyriansteel.com/shop/ The first 3 runs of stuff I think it was: ICE, LONGCLAW, NEEDLE then later CATSPAW BLADE.

Anyway, I found out about Bitcoin and kept walking by the damn swords. Always helps to buy stuff BEFORE the author's HBO series. I got them because I thought George R.R. Martin was the next Tolkien. Boy, was I right! Anway, broke down and sold them for about $3.2k total I think it was, and with the $$$ set aside for the revival of the BBS/Game server I had some 'stupid' hobby cash to spend.

Then took that money and ordered like around August 1st? 2013 or so a KNC Jupiter ASIC BTC Miner that cost exactly $5,131.80 USD with shipping to my door, I think I have the price right? It arrived in a soggy mush of cardboard held together with 2 hands by DHL guy and was full of rainwater (1/2 a glass) and parts was loose inside. So after a major panic attack, and then draining water out of the unit, then borrowing hairdryer from a neighbor, I get it all set up and can't find the switch. I email KNC (got a quick 1 hr reply by chance) and they tell me to use a PAPERCLIP on the PSU. By that point, I'm having real doubts about my purchase! So after being told the proper pins to use and cutting a paper clip, I've cut half and tapping with black tape the other end, I closed my eyes, turned my head, jammed it in the pins, said a prayer and it worked. Man, I was a wreck!

So to be clear, when I started this KNC Jupiter up on Oct 18th, 2013 my goals were modest. (1) I was bored needed a hobby and this did not eat electricity like putting up the old bbs/game server. (2) When I turned it on, and looked, sometime that day BTC was exactly $150 a BTC and I was making 1 BTC a day I think, more or less. (3) Looking at difficulty I figured (wrongly was much better than that) I had like 9 months of paying off the miner/electric and then MAYBE I could get another 9 months out of the unit and pay for my house utilities and heat the basement of my house in the winter too boot! Before difficulty caught up with the unit vs price of BTC. (4) Hey, I was being a nice guy and with Micro-Lending in India, for crying out loud.  (5) being a hobby and all and Micro-Lending in India and elsewhere, being, all the rage I could use this Bitcoin miner to help those folk, hey, again, this whole BTC mining endeavor was only supposed to be just a frigging hobby. Sometimes being a bored clueless newbie, really, really comes through for you!

Well, of course, everything went completely nuts..BTC/Mining/Altcoins all took off from that point in time till now, so basically I fell into this.

So anyway, now, I should probably get the BBS/Game Server back up, for the heck of it because this BTC/Crypto allowed me to retire 2.5 years early and such. It seems appropriate if I ever find the time and all the stuff I'd have to learn about emulating O/S's under Windows 10 etc. Seems like the thing to do in retrospect. Smiley

Anyway, as the OP says in his title. "From financial debt to financial stability- thanks to bitcoin" this surely applies to me. I really, really liked (addicted) to ASIC mining in the big
data halls in a big, big, way, but those days are gone in the USA...so I HODL and wait.

Anyway...

Chump or Champ we will see, for the future of BTC/Crypto, we will see I guess...

946  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched! on: October 28, 2019, 01:53:24 AM
Perhaps in the near future, an anonymity protocol MimbleWimble will be integrated into the LTC:
https://twitter.com/LTCFoundation/status/1186652141089427456
Maybe this can have a positive effect on the price.

This is the only reason I have not dumped my LTC, Mimblewimble. If they backtrack or stall or choke on that, I'm out.

However as stated in previous posts, what the hell else is the LTC Coders doing of any note? You can do, or attempt to do,

more than one coding project at a time I would think?
Among POW coins few will have a good future.


Hey, I'd like NOT to believe you. But it is not looking good indeed.

Right now with LTC it is not IMHO, the problem with POW mining itself and LTC, it is a problem, IMHO, on Litecoin not promoting

its uniqueness vs Bitcoin. The Devs are so scared to go off the beaten path, away from Bitcoin Core and again, IMHO, the 'lack' of promotion

and new ideas for LTC to at least 'discuss' if not implement is also way too long. I'm actually kinda 'shocked' they are supposedly doing

Mimblewimble anonymous xfers. Which is something that Bitcoin Core passed on as 'too controversial' from their point of view.

We will see, but they have to 'step it up' big time to compete against what some would argue (shudder) that BCH and BSV are the

true 'Silver to BTC's Gold' as the 'fork' of Bitcoin to these coins. NOT Litecoin! From a price situation, they have a point, from the fact that just

HODL'ing your original stash of say 100 BTC would give you at this moment $32,077.00 USD, in both BCH and BSV for just NOT breaking them out of your BTC Blockchain

does not hurt either. Just saying, newbies, I've talked to don't mention LTC at all, it is all BCH or BSV (shudder)....truly if they best LTC it will be

'the end of times' for LTC. But man, the LTC Devs have to start pulling out more than just Mimblewimble as the ONLY seen project of note and start

promoting WHY Litecoin IS better than BCH and BSV. Because BCH and BSV are promoting they MUCH better prices, as seen today on www.coinmarketcap.com

every frigging day. Again, Litecoin needs to 'suck it up' and act more like a legit coin now, rather than just tag along with Bitcoin Core enhancements, IMHO.

haha u panic man
soon btc ll 30 000$
and ltc 150-300 $ easy
now for miners difficult good drop . and for miners need hold 70% ltc*s . and sell for 150-300 $

You could be right, but if the same $$$ is in Bitcoin there is less risk and the same result for Litecoin anyway. MY fear is that the devs and LTC community

are taking past linkage of such for granted and sitting on their hands. But sure, I have some LTC I can see it going to $150 to $300 USD, when BTC is at,

IMHO, $18k again.  Again, hoping for Mimblewimble doing its thing, without that I'm afraid the linkage between BTC price and LTC price will further erode.

Hope, I'm dead wrong, but then again, I remember when 1 LTC was worth 1/10th of a BTC. So go figure, we may be both wrong.

Thoughts?

Not sure if 1D is a reliable timeframe. Plenty of room for up on weekly according to RSI.

Yes, but I can't make heads or tails of the current green dildo on weekly until the 28th. Only then will we see where we stand.


Yeah those are good thoughts, I like those thoughts. My thoughts exactly.

If BTC hits the $50k mark a lot of us would at least have a 'lame' shot at the above, for a date maybe. But for a 'Trophy Wife' I still think you'd have to hang in there

for $200K coin, for that level of vroom, vroom in a Trophy Wife. Of course, most of us here are old/over-weight/plain looking at best/techno-nerds. So the odds are

good that the 'strain' of any nocturnal activities with such, most of us would be dead within a week for most and a month for the rest. But then again, what a way to go!

Wife? Who needs a wife? Shackles aren't a requirement for nocturnal strain. Especially not if the wallet rings with the sound of tingling bitcoins at 200k.

I'm weak-willed and would delude myself that she loved me, not my Bitcoin, being that I back in the day I believed in Bitcoin Beanie Baby Money in 2013, when everyone

else 'mocked me' Smiley Being naive worked damn well back then. Smiley

I'll see if I can go for a 2-fur and have lightning strike twice. Probably a moot question, wife or not, I/We'd be dead within the month on our nerd bodies strain of her

using me as a "Love Puppet" in our nocturnal activities. What the hell, let the 'Trophy Wife' get the BTC in that case,  she'd have earned it. Smiley (Be still my heart!)

Well.....it is 10/27/19 at 8:35 pm CST in the USA.

The price of BTC is pumping! currently is  $9,871.00 USD. On www.coinmarketcap.org

So I shall play my FOMO/PUMP music below to 'nudge' it along.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGZ0ntpSx2Y Secret Agent Man 1966.

Can we move past and stick the stable price at over $10,000 USD?

Well, play and post a link to your FOMO/PUMP music as you watch this "hopefully" epic pump!

(Myself, I need it to be $11,111.12 USD for obvious reasons. If BTC would just NEVER go below that amount, I'd never whine again!)

So you're trying to say BTC is trying to save our lives (health) from such kind of stress?  Grin Grin Grin When BTC would reach $100k, I sure won't last long with hookers and blow....  Grin Grin Grin

Yep, this is true of the BTC/Crypto ASIC Gods would they have wanted us to have fantasy women like the one above, likely now, or we would have never had the time to

become BTC/Crypto/ASIC nerds in the first place! Indeed, if all 'plain jane' women of any age, looked in this woman's ballpark all of human civilization would not have

come to pass...the choice is 1) I could stop being a hunter-gatherer and leave that woman above and lifestyle or 2) I could get away from the wife with work and start

working towards the industrial age! Like who'd have the inclination or the time, out of the sack, to even 'start' civilization? I'd have no inclination nor time to tinker

with 'devices' like the wheel or the spork?

So, with Bitcoin, we are 'decentralizing' hot women from a more 'centralized' system to us, BTC HODL'ers, it seems, and are very close in price to breaking the cycle,o at

least soon! (tm Butterfly Labs).

Viva La De-Centralization. I know it is confusing, but the more BTC you HODL and the more the price goes up, the more attractive, you as a HOLDER become! Go figure?

It seems to be the case for me since I got in at $150 BTC in 2013! It truly is befuddling!

I now return you to the above fantasy woman for your further consideration of my point of view!

I wonder when they are gonna go bankrupt like ButterFly Labs with the SEC and let the corporation take the walk and owners walking away with profits as a result.

It seems to be the plan.

With the GRIN miner debacle and pulling of equipment. Siacoin price dump. Etc. It seems to be the case.

I base this on the fact when contacted about the 'supposed' January 2019 payback for late Oblisk SC-1's first batch compensation they promised (5 units) that came

out to around $660 bucks, I think it was? They replied they will only pay this WHEN they make a profit on my email.

Well, that seems clear enough.

Anyway, I sold my 5 Obelisks for what I had into them a bit after the algo change went in. I have about 1.25 million Siacoin, as a result, I was just letting ride for the

hell of it. Probably the next pump I should dump the works.

What a clusterf*ck. I have a buddy who did the same and flipped equipment etc as I did in time at algo change he would get like $5k or something in 'supposed' compensation.

IF we would have been paid that amount on January 31st, 2019 as promised. With the price of bitcoin that day from https://coinmarketcap.com/ $3,422.99 usd, well

you'd see no complaints from me then (nor my buddy)

just another example of 'trust us' until we declare bankruptcy and FOLD via SEC settlement via the corporation only trick

So one should probably NEVER buy an ASIC from a USA manufacturer for this reason. They can play bankruptcy in the manner and it seems to be rinse/wash/repeat for any

ASIC maker in the USA in the past to die like this. Alpha Tech/GAW/ButterflyLabs ...others I've forgotten about.

Well them $$$ are gone indeed.

Really, when we will make a profit.

Below is the email I got in August 2019 sure looks to me like any of us in my boat are screwed indeed!

start of quote

Brad,

I apologize for any confusion. As it states in the linked support article and my previous email, the exact date of the compensation will depend on the financial state of the company. The article goes on to advise that it will likely take several months or more to complete.

We are still working to finish up the project, such as dealing with repairs and outstanding orders due to insufficient information. We also have several other projects we are working on as well as running our business day to day.

Once we have additional information to share about the compensation program we will be sure to let the community know. As an existing customer you will be one of the first to hear it.

Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Thanks,


Jeremy Hall
Customer Service Manager

end of quote


Of course, just telling the masses here on Bitcointalk. They will never reply to this thread. But figured I'd toss it out there if you have an Obelisk Sc-1 and only ONE unit..that supposedly

would be what $110 bucks if I remember my math right? The only thing you had to do supposedly was setup up and BTC address to pay to on the Obelisk portal with an account made.

Anyway, maybe pointless and me just venting here. But the more I look at Siacoin, the more it looks like a long-con with no future, stuff like this, being into dubious ASIC equipment,

bad management in all areas of the company. My odds of getting any of this are slim to none.

for what it is worth

953  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: DID I MAKE A MISTAKE INVESTING IN BITCOIN? on: October 27, 2019, 12:52:15 AM
Did you make a mistake the OP asks in investing in Bitcoin?

Hmmmm..

Well, If you invested in 2009...er not so much (if you have some in HODL mode). Myself 2013 (have some in HODL mode) so in that case, NOPE not so much.

If you bought at the last ATH of around $18k for BTC and either you are still in HODL mode ....not sure yet. If you sold at a loss...well, yeah the investment did not work out.

If you look at BTC/Crypto Universe being a bit over 10  years old now. But look into the future and hope for 1/10th the drama and improvements of the last 10 years you are golden!

My advice to people collecting BTC/Crypto now...Attic Mining....sell crap you would otherwise die with or useless on eBay and buy BTC with it. Just be a bit consistent and HODL.

BTC/Crypto may not work out, you may have wasted your time and the stuff you find you really did not need anyway on BTC, but on the other hand, what if the next 10 years

is like the last 10 years for Bitcoin. What if we are ALL underestimating badly what is gonna happen, as we did 10 years ago when BTC/Crypto started?

So we all know, that it MIGHT not work out and such. But not enough people NOW are thinking along the lines of but what if it does work out in the FUTURE, and are not,

even in a leisurely, laid back manner, getting BTC/Crypto Dust...just in case it pumps again and I/we are surprised in a good way again, 10 years from today.

This is speculation, but I have too many friends that were so sure BTC/Crypto in 2013 was just a FAD and now they say they 'missed the boat' and the price is too high.

So currently, I'm in the dog house with the above argument, what if you are wrong again? Why not pick some up in the manner I mention above as a 'lark' in case BTC/Crypto

goes even 'mildly' parabolic again in price in the future.

So sure, this is speculation, BTC/Crypto could go tulips, it could go sideways in price or down and price and just be a 'niche' thing for years, having reached its use/adoption and/or

keep its 'hobby' status. But remember, it also could go ape/sh*t/parabolic crazy in the future as per price again and adoption. Thus not much risk with my attic mining idea.

At worst you become more of a 'minimalist' and get rid of some unwanted stuff. The best part is that you did get rid of that stuff got BTC/Crypto for the stuff and it all works out

for you in the next 10 years as it has in the last 10 years.

Anyway, what I'm doing now that 10c kWh electric for mining and the 25% USA tariff have killed that hobby for me. This is my BTC/Crypto kinda method of 'metal collecting on the

beach" ...do the above for fun, get rid of some stuff, get on here and you can tell me if I was right or wrong.

What the hell, take a tiny chance on the positive view, rather than the somewhat 'daunting' world view IMHO, of the majority of people who did not get into BTC 10,5,3,2 years ago

and have a reason to want it to fail, if BTC/Crypto fails they won't have to face the fact that they coulda/shoulda/maybe could at least done some of the above and HODL

and it is easier to sink someone else's hopes, than face the fact that you never hoped in the first place and now it has bitten you in the ass.

(well, that digressed quickly...above went mean...sorry about that)

anyway, what I'm doing as a coping mechanism now that I can no longer do andy ASIC mining to feed my miner addiction anymore.

Just saying.

Got  zero thank you comments for this warnings  and zero merits. Tongue
9,
But can't complain about btc longs gains.

I've been attic mining (trying to get motivated to sell the crap out of the attic to eBay to then BTC...for some dust BTC) Smiley

I bought $159.08 BTC yesterday at $7,509.00 I think it was as of now the price on www.coinmarketcap.com for BTC is $9,828.70 and says BTC is

up 31.11%! Sheesh.

I should buy some more huh? Thank You all for the kind thoughts, but I'm confused usually I buy and it DUMPS 31.11%.

So I'm in full HODL mode, long term, 3-5 years, yet this still gets me hot and bothered. I may need to take a cold shower if the price keeps going up!

Bitcoin Price = Always Befuddling. Smiley

Yeah, withdrawals are working now. I assume they refilled the wallet.

I was fairly shocked to read what yahoo wrote about their budget - 10 whole BTC for the first month? I knew they were putting a lot of money into this but $75-80k a month is an insane budget, not to mention the fact that they've overrun that...I wonder where they're pulling these funds from because I didn't think Yobit was making that kind of money.

What's the link?

Is that JUST for www.bitcointalk.org and www.cryptotalk.org only?

Holy Frack! Then again looking at Yobit's fees for moving coin about, maybe 10 BTC is peanuts and on the cheap for them? Just re-read above 10 BTC a frigging month?

Anyway, would love a link. Indeed you could probably make a thread of just following their money each month as their advertising progresses along...

Yep, I like it. Playing the FOMO music as I blow senseless $$ on eBay with happiness for no particular reason except stalling.

Currently, put $159.08 into BTC yesterday at $7,509.00 USD off stuff sold from the attic on to eBay.

I have like $5k of crap in the attic I will otherwise die with. Nothing is worth less than $25 on eBay if I can just (shudder) manage to fight thru the boredom

of eBay sales. (groan).

So stalling on here before my return to the only mining that makes sense to me now.

Attic Mining BTC!

Anyway, I should probably research another FOMO song besides below.

Yech, after I'm off here have to go do the 'cubicle type work' of selling stuff on eBay...yech..... the horror...but I need to magically turn 'junk' into BTC!

Till then my FOMO song again, I particularly like the 'life of danger' theme...seems to work for BTC/Crypto endeavors

First off, I'm not getting paid to make this post, since posts in the Services section aren't paid by my campaign.  I just wanted to add my two cents about the button not working.

I was in the first Yobit campaign from 2015 to '16 (I think; I can't remember).  This happened constantly.  Like at least once a week if I remember correctly--but Yobit always topped off their campaign funds, even if it took a while.  So I think they're good for it this time.  Like their awful customer service, they fall behind on little 'ol things like their signature campaign funds but they have had a history of making things right again.  

Give Yahoo62278 a break on this, because there's really nothing he can do--don't post in this thread if it's just to complain about the withdrawal button not working.  He's aware of it.  

I think Yobit must have something like three employees total, because they don't ever seem to be minding the till.  

My button works now. It is not that the button works but man ...I can't get over the fact that Yobit is putting out all this BTC for this campaign..

(I assume it is yobit backing cryptotalk campaign?)

Anyway, from what I understand it must be working to get members here over to the Cryptotalk group also,  as far as advertising is concerned it must be working well...in that, they are

putting out a lot of BTC on here even at 10 posts a day. On the other hand, yobit.io may be just 'rich as f*ck' and what I consider a lot for the campaign is peanuts to them. Probably the

latter. Anyway, impressed so far it is not just a flash in the pan campaign!

So i'm encouraged!

Anyway, onward and upward Smiley

I think it is more likely Miner Capitulation myself. Sorry to say. Sad

Folks have been mining (IMHO) 65% Bitmain S9 units of many flavors, which are approximately, again, IMHO above 65% of all such sha-256 POW miner units mining.

Same with scrypt-pow and Bitmain L3+ IMHO, if not a bigger percentage, though in fairness a lot of those machines are dumping off.

In other words, IMHO, this month is when folk finally toss up their hands and pull the plug on these units at least. End of the month, data hall bills have to be paid,

cashing out at a loss...the usual.

Again, this month the rubber hits the road, hopefully, fewer folk will be selling BTC/Crypto to keep the miners going and hopefully HODL their BTC/Crypto.

Chump or Champ, time will tell I guess.

But that is my current view of less what the OP thinks on Quantum Computing news and manipulation of the market...it is more..fingernails on window sills for miners

hanging on...and finally having to shut off the above ASIC's. The circle of ASIC greed don't ya know.

Anyway, what, I think.

I'd tried it now but the button is no longer working.

And let see what it happens to my withdrawal if it will send to my wallet or just it holds.
Ohh, gladly that I received it. But the "Sent to my BTC balance" button still not working until now.
This might be the first time that it happened with this campaign but it happen in yobit campaign many times in the past, that means they ran out of funds but as soon as they refill it, you can send that balance to you wallet, just relax, they won't go away.

IF they refill it....I mean they are really tossing some cash around in this campaign. I mean sure the price of BTC is dropping, but I sure hope the folks refilling the fund are distracted

and don't look at this too close. Smiley I'm sure they will, but I mean WOW! as far as BTC they must have paid out so far. I suppose the OP would know, but likely won't say (or can't say).

Whatever. Chump or Champ we will be the first to know!
