Yes, that's a fact... the Lakers totally depend on LeBron James, that's clear, I believe that without LJ's leadership, if the Lakers go to the playoffs, they will hardly be able to advance without him!!

The Grizzlies currently have a good team, and he has a chance to be a good opponent to be beaten in these playoffs, but I believe the Grizzlies need to be more mature and experienced, it's a young team with great potential, I believe the Suns it's in an excellent time, given that he is an excellent team these days.

It may seem ironic what I'm going to say, but I think it's easier for the Nets or Lakers to reach the conference finals or even the NBA Finals than it is for them to qualify for the playoffs by getting some of the last spots. (of course if no player to get injured)

Playoff games are totally different from the regular season, Durant, Irving, Westbrook, LeBron, AD among others are experienced players and they know how to handle games during playoffs (especially LeBron James).
Even though the Lakers and Nets have totally underperformed expectations, they are powerful teams and we cannot underestimate them.

I will also be honest and confess that I would like to see CP3 with the NBA champion trophy, if that happens, this will be his first ring and also the first title for the Suns.

He really deserves to get that champion ring... by the way, another player that I would also like to see with a champion ring is Carmelo Anthony, he proved that he is still an important player in the team and he is standing out and helping the Lakers in most games... in my opinion, he's another player who also deserves to be champion.

Yes, they were the star players of the team and there was no doubt about that, but I believed that the rest of the team would get some victories without the presence of these allstar players.
Injuries is an important variable that can be decisive in a game, such as what happened to the Suns last season or with Warriors in the 2018/2019 Finals against Raptors.

Hmm... what you said is interesting, I believe the Lakers and Nets have a smallchance of qualifying for the playoffs, these last games they will have will be extremely decisive.
If these teams don't qualify for the playoffs this season, I look forward to them coming into the next season stronger and better structured compared to this limited season they've had.

I also agree with what @alegotardo said, this is relative!!

When a team from series C or series B can move up in category/level, consequently they will get several sponsors and financial help for the team.
But to maintain this consistency in a series A, for example, the team needs to stand out, evolve and especially have a good board of director to help the team

Look, I confess that I also agree with most users here...

Currently, the Suns have become an extremely competitive team and they have a chance to be champions in this season!!

The team is more experienced and confident, but a variable that could decide are the injuries of some Suns players, mainly CP3 who has a history of frequent injuries in the playoffs.

I had to take some time off from NBA games, and I missed some important games.

Seeing the ranking and the results of the last games, I was impressed, Lakers with 6 consecutive losses and Nets are not having that great effort expected.

My question is... what do you think can happen with these ""dreams teams"" that are performing extremely below of expectations!!??

Há algum tempo atrás eu pedi algumas dicas/conselhos de alguns usuários mais experientes aqui no Bitcointalk, para ser aceito em uma campanha e também sobre a ChipMixer.

Praticamente quase TODOS, me responderam que um fator importante é a qualidade de seu post. Como ele irá agregar aqui na nossa comunidade e o "impacto" que ele poderá trazer para nós.

Galera, fiquem de olho que esta tendo diversas campanhas abertas, quem estiver desemprego, acredito que vale muito a pena dar uma olhada lá

wow, excellent rig!!

I'm not a mining expert, but as I have quite a bit of knowledge in this area, I'd like to share it with you 

I performed some calculations on the consumption of your rig
(2) GTX 1080 = 360w
(1) RX 6600 xt = 160w
(2) RTX 3060 ti = 400w
(3) RTX 3070 ti = 870
(2) RX 6800 xt = 600W
TOTAL = 2390w <<< (gpus only)
Source: https://www.whatpsu.com/gpu

I don't know what the next gpus you will buy will be, I can't give you the exact consumption of your rig

I think it's interesting and valid, you buy a PSU of extreme quality, because your rig will consume a lot of energy.

I believe 2x Corsair AX 1500i (80 plus Titanium) will be a good choice. I believe these psus are expensive, but it will be a great purchase and it is also an excellent quality product.

I believe that there are members who have a much deeper knowledge than me in relation to mining, I think it's interesting that you also receive feedback from others users.

ps: these calculations I made are an ESTIMATE, it's not the EXACT consumption you will need.

Ahhh, então você ta feito! haahha
Morar do lado do Paraguai é uma mão na roda, ainda mais com o dolar caindo, fico muito mais viavel de se comprar algo lá ou talvez em outros paises (EUA/EUROPA etc)

Mas com as dicas que já foram dadas logo acima, da para voce ter uma noção de como avançar no quesito mineração e melhorando seu setup/rig aos poucos 

Hmm, well... I don't know if you researched the Trezor's specs before buying it, these kinds of things need to be done so that no problems occur in the future.

I don't have the knowledge to properly explain, as I've never owned a Trezor.

With the Ledger Nano S, it also has this ""problem"" that you said, it only has 138kb (if I'm not mistaken in capacity) and therefore, I can only use between 3 to 4 coins simultaneously, in case I wanted to store some other cryptocurrency, I need to uninstall it and after that, the new crypto asset will be installed in the wallet.

Confesso que esse seu setup ainda esta bom, da pra tirar uma graninha interessante!
Mas se tu tiver uma graninha sobrando, eu acho válido de investir em algumas vgas novas.

Concordo com o que o @jpouza disse logo acima, acredito que seja viavel de tu adquirir umas 2 placas de video mais parruda do que você possuir 4 ou 5 vgas com um poder de mineração menor.

Além de você ter menos dor de cabeça na manutenção das placas de video, você terá uma vantagem de possuir 2 vgas para fazer manutenção, será bem mais viavel de você limpar e cuidar de 2 placas de video, do que 4 pra 5.
Se caso você quiser se desfazer de alguma vga, acredito que seja mais fácil de vender uma placa de video atual do que tu vender algo de duas ou tres "gerações" anteriores.

Um ponto negativo de possuir menos placas de video durante a mineração é de, caso uma placa de video para de funcionar por um problema, você estará perdendo 50% da sua capacidade de mineração... Agora, se você tiver diversas placas de video minerando, caso uma falhe, você "só" perderá 25% do seu poder de mineração.

Não sei se você é brasileiro ou portugues, mas dependendo da situação, acredito que seja uma boa hora de comprar alguns componentes para um upgrade da sua rig. Dólar esta despencando e a sua tendencia é de cair mais um pouco futuramente.

Com isso, ficará bem mais tranquilo e barato de você importar algum produto de fora ou também haverá a oportunidade de você comprar alguns produtos usados por um preço interessante.

 

Well, just to reiterate some things that have already been discussed here... But yes, you can send Bitcoin to any type of address. It is advisable to use native segwit, because the fees are cheaper.

I read some comments on this topic and would like to understand better...

The reason a SegWit address transaction is faster/cheaper is because of the "weight/size" of its output being smaller (31 bytes), while a Legacy address is 34 bytes.. .is this because the SegWit fork changed the way a transaction fee is calculated?!!

Is my line of reasoning correct? Or am I wrong?

@SamaritanMan, could you share with us the brand and model of your PSU? What vgas are you using for mining? (brand/model)

Have you tried reconnecting the power supply or your computer? It worked? Is it still smelling bad?
If practically NOTHING lit up, if the fans don't spin, you can be sure that your power supply is damaged... I believe that a capacitor or some component inside the power supply "exploded" and is not working.

The energy of your home is "pure"? Or does it fluctuate a lot? (in the sense of not flickering/oscillating)

If your home's energy fluctuates a lot, if you don't use a quality power strip and if your power supply is of low quality (no 80plus seal, no PFC), I have no doubt that this could compromise ALL your equipment.

I would like to share a advice, regarding the PSU, don't save, this is one of the main components of a computer, because depending on the situation, a poor quality PSU can compromise your entire computer.

From my experience, try to get a good quality PSU, with PFC and 80 PLUS seal, some brands I recommend are Corsair, EVGA, Cooler Master, Seasonic etc.

Well, I confess, 106° is a high temperature and deserves attention, because depending on the situation, it may damage your equipment in the future.

Could you share with us your vga settings?

What @rdluffy said can help you a lot, which is decreasing the voltage of your video card.

Does your video card have a lot of dust? The fans working normally? Have you checked?

If your video card was purchased a while ago, I think it's worth changing your thermal paste, if the above advices don't work.

So @Lucasgabd I believe this is a point to be discussed.
I believe in this case a "Brasileirão" or "Copa do Brasil" would be better
Regarding restricted competitions at the state level, each state will have to organize its competitions and with that, we will possibly have some unbalanced games between a team from the southeast/south than one in the northeast.

One point that I think is an advantage of holding several games/competitions at the state level is that small clubs in the interior may have more chances of reaching the "Serie A", for example, because if it were a competition at the national level, hardly a small team and with limited resources, he will be able to reach the Serie A of a national championship.

Vi o post do theymos hoje de madrugada e confesso que levei um susto, dei uma travada, parei para pensar com mais calma e só depois que percebi que acabamos de iniciar no "nosso querido mes de abril"  

alias... @TryNinja, diga para nós, qual foi o segredo que você conseguiu ter um QI de 173 pontos!!? 

Poxa, que massa! Acho que já terei uma excelente programação nesse final de semana! 

As vezes fico pensando comigo... será mesmo que esse cara morreu!!? Como que é possivel somente 1 UNICA pessoa ter o "acesso ao ouro da empresa" !!?
Não sei, fico matutando e imagino que possa ter "caroço nesse angu"

Enfim, vou ver o documentário por aqui também e irei compartilhar minha opinião aqui, claro, sem dar spoiler 

A few days ago, I had a brief conversation with @o_e_l_e_o and the subject we discussed was how we can increase our security (private key/seeds) 


The irony of fate, I was looking some topics on the Portuguese board and i find an excellent tutorial, "how we can create a multi-signed wallet using Electrum."
I found this a very interesting topic, this can be useful for a user who wants to increase their security. I will translate and share it with you guys!

ps: I'm just translating (portuguese > english), I'm not the creator, all credits go to the user @Loganota - ORIGINAL TOPIC - "Como criar uma carteira multi-assinada na Electrum"
ps (2): I'm not a native english speaker, if I made some mistakes, please let me know so I can correct the translation, thanks

"how we can create a multi-signed wallet using Electrum."

Well, @alegotardo asked a question here about what mult-signs are, or in Portuguese multi-signatures . As he suggested and as I don't remember a tutorial here in the Portuguese tab, let's record one here.

Brief explanation:

Normally, in order for us to spend funds from an address, we must have a private key to sign the transaction from that address. But, what if for security you want to have more than one private key to spend funds from an address? In this case, if a thief found only one of the private keys, it would not be possible for him to spend his funds.

Another reason to use multi-signed addresses is if you have a business with partners. You don't want just one person to spend an entire company's funds whenever they feel like it. The solution to this is to use this type of address.

Applications:

The Bitcoin Wiki gives some examples of use cases for multi-signed addresses:

1-of-2: Husband and Wife's Joint Account - Signing either of them is enough to spend the funds.

2-of-2: Husband and Wife Savings Account - Both signatures are required to spend the funds, preventing one spouse from spending the money without the other's approval.

2-of-3: Parents Savings Account for a Child - The child can spend the money with the approval of one of the parents, and the money cannot be taken from the child unless both parents agree.

2-of 2: Wallet with two-factor authentication - one private key is on your main computer and the other on your smartphone - funds cannot be spent without signing both devices. Thus, an attacker needs to gain access to both devices to steal your funds.

2-of-3: Buyer/Seller using an escrow - If the transaction goes smoothly, the buyer and seller sign the transaction to forward the money to the seller. If something goes wrong, they can sign a transaction to refund the buyer. If they do not agree, both appeal to the third party who will judge and provide a second signature to the person they deem worthy. The escrow cannot steal the money as they only have one key.

2-of-3: A board of three directors holding funds for your organization - these funds cannot be spent unless two of them agree. Larger transactions with multiple signatures are possible for larger organizations such as 3-of-5, 5-of-9, etc.

How to create a multi-signed wallet on electrum:

When creating a new wallet, select multi-signature wallet:


Select how many people will share the wallet and how many will be needed to spend the funds:


Add cosigners:


If you create a new seed, your master public key will be shown:


That way you won't need to inform your seed to the other co-signers, just this public key.

Adding the other co-signers:

From the public key:


You can do the same with the seed, but one person would need to know the other's seed, this is not very interesting in this case.

The same must be done with the other co-signers (if any).

Wallet created:


How to make a multi-signed transaction:


I'm going to use Bitcoin testnet to make this joke, I recommend seeing this topic here for those who want to know more about TestNet.

I have 2 of the 3 wallets open on my pc, as you can see, they have the same receiving address (I got some satoshis in a testnet faucet).


First, let's use Wallet A to start the transaction. In this step, just do the step by step of a common transaction:


When Submitting, Electrum will display this message:


That is, it is not possible to transmit the transaction because it is only partially signed (out of two keys, it was signed by only 1).

Then we go to Portfolio B to finalize this transaction. In the print above you can see that you can save this incomplete transaction in a file.

In wallet B, load this file in this option:


Then, the following screen will appear where you can sign (1) and later transmit (2) the transaction to the network:


End.

It must be remembered that the process of passing the transaction to the other wallets can be done in different ways, such as a QR Code. And it's important to remember that the subscription can be done by a Hardware Wallet, for those who have it.

Here's a video explaining how multi-signed addresses work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeLqe_gg2u0

And a video by Andreas Antonopoulos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAP2u6w_1-k

For the technical part of how it works, I'll leave it to friends who know much more than I do to explain  

Hmm, I confess... this is a very valuable information, thank you so much to share with us 
Some of these methods you mentioned I already knew about and others I didn't. But I think it's valid to use these tools that you said to increase the security.
