So I read an article last night, saying that Nvidia was re-nerfing the 3060's.  I hadn't followed this super closely since none were available to buy, but I think my understanding was this:
 - They came from the factory nerfed for mining.
 - They accidently released a driver update that didn't have the nerfification applied, and tried to retract it, but ooops, too late - it's out in the wild and everybody downloaded it to bypass the nerf. 
 - Now they plan to release all new GPUs with another update that re-nerfs the boards. 

So my question is, can we all still just re apply that accidental driver update to bypass again?  I know nothing of modding or updating GPUs yet, I'm not messing with the rig I bought unless I have to.  Just leaving everything running as is.  But I am curious for these future boards.  Will we be able to override them?


seems like they will prevent that. heres an article from anandtech explaining it a bit. a small quote below.


Quote
In short, NVIDIA has tweaked future RTX 3060 cards to require this driver (or newer), which will prevent them from using older drivers that can bypass NVIDIA’s hash limiter. As a result, RTX 3060 cards shipping starting in mid-May will once again be fully locked down against running Ethereum at full (native) speed.

banks will continue to always decline cryptocurrency purchase because its against their policy. they see cryptocurrency as a competitor which shortchanges them thats why they dont allow by standing under the guise of volatility and unregulations. the best way to buy is to use p2p on any good exchange like binance.

USA here. some banks do.

many here have long bought and sold btc with bank accounts. i linked coinbase in 2013 and gemini in 2019 to mine and they have NEVER asked me any questions.

ive spoken to the branch manager, she knew a surprising amount about bitcoin. i got the impression she may own some and use coinbase as she knew all about coinbase crashing under loads and such.

this may not help the jakesun64 as he is in canada but i wanted to add some clarification.

I wrote my wallet password and security phases in my daily notebook and when I started to travel then I keep my notebook in my luggage. Though it's a dangerous because when I would lost my luggage them what would be happened?

important stuff like that goes on carry on luggage or your person only, never put it in checked baggage where TSA pokes around in it. as well as bags going missing of course.

Hmmm, you guys not reading the writing on the wall. Tongue

nah moving corn between addys under your control is not taxable. its like when you top your hot wallet up or xfer to/from an exchange. the taxable event occurs when you finally convert btc to fiat or anything else (altcoin, gold, etc), not from the coin itself moving around.


You are right, it is not, but somehow Coinbase used to portray (in their tax docs?) the move from their account to your personal one as a sell.
Not sure if it still holds true.

Yeah, something like 5 or 6 years ago I withdrew some USD from Coinbase and they sent me a 1099K recording the amount as a payment for services -- like Coinbase was paying me for something. 
Of course all such statements get sent to the IRS too. 
Funny thing is, it was money that I had deposited in Coinbase and later withdrew.  So it wasn't capital gains, it wasn't a payment, it wasn't anything.  I never made a single transaction, no buy or sell, nothing.  It was me moving my own money around.  Sending out a 1099K for shit like that is insane.  It's indefensible.
Even if I had sold some coins, and had capital gains, that has to be calculated from my exchange transaction records.  You can't go by bank transfers.  And you don't record capital gains on a 1099K anyway.  The whole thing is beyond idiotic.

Fortunately, the IRS apparently had enough sense to know that a 1099K from a bitcoin exchange made no sense and ignored it.
And from what I understand, Coinbase has stopped sending out 1099K's.

thats about how i remember it too. iirc it was the year they 1st sent out 1099ks, the same year (i think) they 1st gave up the account info to the IRS for anyone who had transacted over some amount (10k?). as taxes are based on the actual trade history my accountant said dont worry about it so i didnt.

they still do 1099ks i got one for 2020. gemini sends 1099ks too.

It's time for MSM to start ragging on those bastards who leave their electrical appliances plugged in needlessly; wasting energy that could be used for moar bitcoin mining!  Of course that's not as sensational so I wont hold my breath.

hooray! more green devices. great. they may have their place in some applications. but i absolutely hate devices that power themselves down after a period of inactivity.

like, i prefer a media playing device (for example) to stay on "pause" for 6 hours (or 6 days), ready to play at my slightest whim, instead of having to boot up and find (probably manually) my spot when i cued it because it decided to power down.

soon all light bulbs will power themselves down. unless you prove youre still in the room there via flicking the switch every five minutes. i imaging those wifi controlled led lights can probably already do that.

Yes everything is a bundle now.  That's their way of getting rid of excess inventory I guess.

yeah i kinda wondered if the bundles stuff was slow selling stock they want gone. i see a lot of the same thing spread over several cards over and over.

You don't pay for moving coins to a ledger anyway but not everyone will be 100% bitcoin when it goes above a million. Everyone in the US and on this forum may eventually get hit with the tax when bitcoin goes up combined with hyperinflation. Also, if the US goes to 43.8%, you can bet the EU will follow shortly. What happens when a million is equivalent to a current $100k because of inflation? Could happen in a few years at the current rate.

I think you do: If you move coins from an address to another then I thought it was a taxable event ("work" is being done, like those crazy Jewish sabbath rules). Maybe if it's not in your control, but if that's the case then the argument should be move coins around at will, tax when converted into fiat.

nah moving corn between addys under your control is not taxable. its like when you top your hot wallet up or xfer to/from an exchange. the taxable event occurs when you finally convert btc to fiat or anything else (altcoin, gold, etc), not from the coin itself moving around.

How to unsee???

this is the WO. welding goggles for eye protection at a minimum is highly recommended.

Spotted a llama what does it means ?

obviously advertising for the WO

i hear some llama is spreading word that some gentlemen here on the WO who bought lake ontario and are building a citadel out of texas are trying to figure out if its better to move the lake to texas, move texas to the lake, or build a canal between the two with cruise boats going back and forth.

fear the llama logo

What is with all the bullish threads starting up around here? Bitcoin will only fall to $40k? $5k? C'mon. Are these new forum members also new at math? The bullish sentiment of these "bearish" predictions is too much. $100 or please re-do your math.

What kind of maths you using?

i think its the math where 1=1

well for certain values of 1 anyway

Some pretty convincing posts.. I’m not scared.. Hodling

Maybe buy some more somewhere in the 40s if I can catch it..

grabbed me some at ~49k USD the other day.

set up new buys down to 47k. if those pop ill move some more powder over and go down to lower 40s smiling all the way.
1158  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: April 24, 2021, 04:34:33 PM
So “The Wall Observer is still an extremely toxic sensitive community.”

I don’t know about that exactly...  when btc losing value in dollar terms, then the WO thread is a very famous place for FUD-tards, bear-tards, alt-tards, low level human being-tards, NOcoiners etc

i am INSULTED. you did not mention the category i fit in: shitposter.

maybe edit your post to include.. shit-tards? is that a thing?

[...much snip...] But I doubt that we can have a world without government, and it seems that the more dense the population (such as in BIG cities), the more needs there are for a variety of government services.  There does not seem to be enough land for each person to have self-sustainability and voluntariness without attempting to account for various public goods, whether we are talking about roads or air and water or even questions about access to property that could be classified as either public or private depending on the structure - and I question whether removing government even resolves property rights and access matters.

time to immigrate to mars. plenty of prime* land is still up for grabs.

*definition of "prime" subject to change.
