Some computer monitors also have built-in filters for blue light so you don't have to install a software-based filter. Mine is accessible by pressing buttons on the bottom of the monitor and going through the settings for color adjustment, might not work on all monitors but I've noticed most newer monitor models have this option. If you're using a laptop you'll likely need to install software though.
1102  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Has anyone successfully used really high leverage or is that just gambling? on: April 22, 2019, 09:54:06 PM
10x's the sweet spot for me as well when I'm trading with crypto. Anything higher and you just get liquidated way too fast on an exchange like Bitmex, I've tried 25x a few times in the near past but it never really worked out for me, still too risky IMO. Some people also abide by 3-5x though I typically conduct all my crypto-based trades on 10x leverage. Much simpler in the end to just use lower leverage.

ZeusMiner went bankrupt a few years ago AFAIK and most of their miners don't seem to be on the used market much anymore, much less individual working chips. I did manage to find fully working units on eBay but I assume you're just trying to find chips to repair the unit. Also seems like nobody's trying to sell any ZeusMiner units on here recently too.
1104  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to deal with greed whilst trading? on: April 22, 2019, 01:19:23 AM
Set targets for every entry you make and exit when you hit you hit your target(s). You're much more likely to be a greedy trader if you don't set plans for yourself and follow them. Also, try to remember even small gains will add up over time and not every trade has to generate you massive profits.

You should ideally also not be using more than 10x leverage on a site like Bitmex. You never want to be liquidated, and you can always set a tight stoploss with a position to prevent excessive losses. Also keep in mind if you're trading on a site like Bitmex you get a rebate on fees if your orders are in the books instead of a market order. Fees can get pretty expensive with larger positions, and you should always try to prevent fees whenever possible. They stack up over time.

This article on CCN.com (click for link) says the miner uses 55nm ZeusMiner chips but doesn't give any further information on the specs of the chips other than that, though I did do a search for the 55nm ZeusMiner chips and it seems to be the same ones that are in the other larger ZeusMiner units like the X3 and the Falcon as well.

This post from Cryptomining-blog (click for link) shows the name of the chip as 'ZEUS101' and a few numbers afterwards. Seems to be the only picture of a disassembled Blizzard I can find at the moment.
1106  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Is Mining site Eobot.com scam or legit??? on: April 22, 2019, 12:58:35 AM
Pretty sure Eobot still allows you to redeem contracts for a physical miner when the contracts you're using become obsolete as well, though things might've changed recently. I also used to use Eobot a few years ago and they did pay out and do things as stated, the break-even time is much too long now for their contracts but otherwise the site seems to be somewhat legit.

If you want to mine outside of your own home, a better option than cloudmining is hardware hosting. You'll need to provide your own hardware, but you'll get better electrical rates than with most cloudmining sites and your own home most of the time.
1107  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you define a good exchange? on: April 19, 2019, 07:37:39 PM
For me, a good exchange has good security of funds, support that's fast to respond to any tickets and issues that users might have, and doesn't require KYC. Low site lag and no/very few overloads unlike what Bitmex has (where I mainly trade) is a plus as well. Fees should also be reasonable, though I find most exchanges do not have problems with fees most of the time. Users should also have the option to secure their accounts with extra security measures like 2FA and SMS.

A good UI is a must too, potentially with the option to use either a light or dark theme if possible. A white background sucks for when I'm trading at night, and I personally prefer a darker site theme anyways.
1108  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Best place to compare crypto prices on: April 19, 2019, 02:38:54 PM
I just don't see any reason why I would use this site over an existing one like Coinmarketcap when this simply looks like an attempted clone of CMC with a less attractive UI, judging by how there's numbers like market cap and such in the top left and right of the site just like CMC. Also seems like most of the exchanges that have cheaper prices are very small and shady. I'd personally rather trade on a bigger exchange that has some sort of reputation so I can be sure I'm not getting scammed and my money's not stuck in limbo, but to each their own.

I suggest adding the option to change the UI of the site as the white and yellow coloring is extremely unappealing IMO.
1109  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do those of you who were waiting for 2000s/1000s/<1000 feel now? Buying now? on: April 19, 2019, 04:44:19 AM
Naturally I'm a bit annoyed as I was planning on buying in as soon as BTC hit my buy orders at $3000 and that ship has sailed for the moment,

this is why it is always preferred that you place multiple orders at different prices instead of putting it all in one order and hoping for that to be the best option. specially in bitcoin that price is volatile and sometimes we see very unexpected movements, this method of spreading orders is very helpful.

I always do stagger some of my buy orders out, but in my situation prices didn't reach the point where the bulk of my buy orders were situated (at $3k). Wasn't the greatest situation but I'm now looking for better entry(s) into BTC again, can't change the past. Not putting too much in at the moment though because I'm not fully convinced we're out of this bear market yet.
1110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is an entertainment? on: April 19, 2019, 04:38:43 AM
Gambling is absolutely a form of entertainment and you should treat it as one, and nothing more than that. I've always gambled for entertainment when I have nothing else to do, and if you gamble primarily to make a profit, you're likely doing it wrong (though there are ways to make money somewhat consistently through betting and arbitraging, etc).

Investments on casinos can still be pretty risky if a whale makes it out with a net profit on whatever site you've invested on. If you choose to invest in a casino, use low leverage if you have an option to change leverage on your investment. By doing this you'll lower but not completely cancel out the risk of your investment being lost if someone withdraws with a significant profit on the casino you invested in.
1111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you gamble? Please voice your opinion! on: April 19, 2019, 02:01:30 AM
I gamble mostly for the adrenaline rush I get from it and potentially for the chance to win big. There's not many other places where I can get a rush of adrenaline and excitement to the degree that I get from crypto gambling, and I like to try my luck with things every once in a while too. The odds might be low and against you, but there's always the chance you could get massive winnings from gambling.

Gambling can also be relaxing for me if I come home from a long day of work and I'm looking for something to do at home that doesn't take a lot of energy to do. Even better than gaming for me personally.
1112  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do those of you who were waiting for 2000s/1000s/<1000 feel now? Buying now? on: April 19, 2019, 12:20:20 AM
Naturally I'm a bit annoyed as I was planning on buying in as soon as BTC hit my buy orders at $3000 and that ship has sailed for the moment, but I'm indeed buying in some now through DCA and setting some buy orders below where we are now in case we break down to the $4000s or $3000s again, though I'm keeping a few longs I have from $4900 open for now. Trying not to let the FOMO get the best of me, but it's a bit difficult for me this time around. I never expected things to go too far below the lower $3ks to upper $2ks though, always seemed like the bears were getting a bit ahead of themselves with the $1k and $2k calls.
1113  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Invest now? or wait for down turn? on: April 19, 2019, 12:05:30 AM
Whatever you do, don't ever FOMO into a trade or let your emotions get the best of you. There's always going to be a better entry for a trade or buy, and if you feel you've temporarily missed the train, try waiting 'till you become more comfortable and then buy in. Alternatively you could also dollar cost average right now and buy a bit of BTC each week or so instead of buying all at one time. You'll average out the cost of your buying with DCA. In the end nobody really knows whether prices will go up or down for sure, and it's your own decision whether or not to buy now.
1114  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you know hackers use hidden advertisement to get access on your device ? on: April 18, 2019, 11:59:24 PM
A simple adblock extension like Adblock Plus should be able to block most popups and hidden ads that might come up when you're browsing on a desktop computer that supports Chrome. If you're using an adblocker and a site's telling you to turn off the adblock, Anti-Adblock Killer (click for link) should be able to disable whatever's telling you to turn your adblock off.

Unfortunately, there's really no good solution to blocking ads on Chrome mobile or mobile browsers in general AFAIK. Chrome has a setting on mobile to block popups but some still do get past.
1115  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to get involved? on: April 18, 2019, 11:55:20 PM
To be more specific, there's plenty of discussion regarding trading in the Trading Discussion section (click for link) and discussion about BTC's future pricing in the Speculation section (click for link).

As for getting coins, buying via USD or fiat is usually a low-fee option to get coins as long as you're transacting with a payment method like a bank wire. A relatively fast exchange you can use to buy BTC with is Gemini (click for link), though there are many, many others out there like Coinbase and Bitstamp. You'll need to complete KYC with most exchanges, though, which usually involves you taking a selfie with an ID in hand.

Alternatively, if you don't want to submit KYC, a P2P exchange like Paxful works fine as well. Not all listings there require KYC (varies by vendor), though you'll usually pay slightly higher fees for vendors that don't require KYC.
1116  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy every dip! on: April 17, 2019, 09:49:13 PM
In the short term I've been buying whenever large numbers of liquidations start happening on Bitmex using the site aggr.trade (click for link), which provides a sub 1-minute chart showing big buys and sells, as well as liquidations, and I've been able to buy local bottoms with pretty good accuracy recently.

It's definitely not too late to buy in considering we may very well still be in a bear market, and you'll have time to buy once we break above $6k and when we're more clearly out of the bear market. We could easily be back down to the $4000s with a big red candle in the next few days, still in unclear territory right now.
1117  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Sell bitcoin or dash in Wall of Coins https://wallofcoins.com/en/ on: April 17, 2019, 09:42:53 PM
I also did a bit of searching and stumbled upon this thread (click for link) with people trying to use Wall of Coins that got scammed/took some time to get their bitcoin, doesn't look like a very good site to me. Wouldn't use the site if I were you, if you're trying to sell coins P2P, an alternative method would be to sell via Paxful or LocalBitcoins- you might not have to provide verification depending on how you're trying to sell your coins.
1118  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What do you think of 'Spydercrusher' indicator for Tradingview? on: April 16, 2019, 10:44:53 PM
Not worth paying for any indicator IMO. Other indicators on TradingView that are free work just fine, and there's no guarantee that buying this indicator will make you more successful at trading, heck there are many successful traders out there that use just a few basic indicators. You'd likely be better off using free indicators and using the $60/month that this indicator costs towards trading.
1119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbook any good? on: April 16, 2019, 09:56:50 PM
I would personally not use the site you linked in OP. There's zero information about it online and no info about it on this forum as well, and I just did a whois lookup on the site and it seems it's very new. Look elsewhere for a sportsbook, not worth risking your money on a site that's relatively new. Pretty surprised you found the site at all considering there's basically no information about it online.

1120  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When did you start trading? on: April 16, 2019, 08:04:15 PM
I started trading very shortly after I joined this forum sometime in 2015, don't remember the exact month or day but was around the time of my registration on this forum. I did very little TA when I started trading and I still don't do a whole lot to this day, but I made a good amount from the bull run in 2017 and subsequent bear market that we now seem to be exiting.

As for something important I learned along the way, risk management is very important when trading, especially for beginners. Beginners tend to blow their accounts through emotionally-charged gambling and/or bad risk management, and it doesn't matter how good you are with TA- if your risk management is bad, you will eventually lose it all. Besides, everybody eventually makes a losing trade. You just have to position yourself to be able to weather one or a few bad trades without going under.
