I wish it was me. Miners with good power setups are endlessly bullish. I profit as I type. Less profit then last month but still profit. A miner with good power cost can structure certain profits as long as he or she is not a greedy moron. As to big crazy profits like a buy and hold for 10 years no as it is more work to mine with less risk and lower profit than it is to buy and hodl for ten years. Look at the diff rate today we are up 6% as I type. https://newhedge.io/terminal/bitcoin/difficulty-estimatorLatest Block: 804555 (23 minutes ago) Current Pace: 106.8591% (172 / 160.96 expected, 11.04 ahead)Previous Difficulty: 52391178981379.36 Current Difficulty: 55621444139429.57 Next Difficulty: between 56316973197977 and 60170541114438 Next Difficulty Change: between +1.2505% and +8.1787% Previous Retarget: Yesterday at 12:57 PM (+6.1657%) Next Retarget (earliest): September 4, 2023 at 3:22 PM (in 11d 23h 36m 21s) Next Retarget (latest): September 5, 2023 at 9:25 AM (in 12d 17h 39m 0s) Projected Epoch Length: between 13d 2h 25m 57s and 13d 20h 28m 36s Copy stats to clipboard A lot of this growth is 3 and 4 cent power guys trying to push out all people over 6 cent power. |

If we go out of range no winner. and new hedge numbers are official decider for winner. No newbies no double ghost entries. I run it and decide if I think you are trying to game system. It used to be fun to do. Not sure if I will do it. |

I hedge other wealth values so 24k is okay as is 23 or 22 or 21 or 20 or 19. So a drop to 24k is as fine as a move to 26 or 27k. While I rather see 45-55k before Jan 1 I can deal with 19-24k. |

If it is, then all the financial systems in the world will all come crashing down, since they use SHA256 also They don't claim to have broken SHA-256, they claim an improvement over BTC mining, just like how over/covert asicboost, the core claim in their patent application is this While at this juncture we cannot go into the specific details of what we believe is an innovative solution designed by our R&D cryptography team, suffice it to say that the new concept behind this idea disrupts, under special conditions, a fundamental BTC blockchain paradigm; computation for future blocks can take place before the previous block is mined. This is quite a radical change of the paradigm, and we believe it is well worth a patent application Key words are "under special conditions", I think they mean this
[
"If we managed to guess the next block header right -- we could start working on it before everyone else does".  that is funny |

I'll believe it when I see it with this beginning of the bull run shit. So far we can't even stay above 26K.  Is there a chance the halving won't do anything for the price? Sure, but if that happens it would do wonders for difficulty. This has not happened much with BTC. ie price really hurting the difficulty. but we did have a stretch of Difficulty dropping in Oct 2018 to feb 2019 IIRC If you think of mining supporting the floor price as a believable theory. Than we are near the mining floor as I type. So if a ½ comes and price stays at 25-30k Mining would need to drop like mad to match prices. hey you never know it has happened with shit coins. It would be a first for BTC maybe then we find out who the real men are. Or BTC death spirals into non-existentance. |

Does anyone know at what point Moore's law will come into effect and they won't be able to make the nM count smaller? So far smallest I have heard of is 2nM. Is that it for a while after they make 2nM?
I heard that it is impossible to make chips smaller than 5 nanometers for a long time. The hashrate and payback of the video card are important to us, as well as the consumption of electricity and temperatures, and technologies will constantly change for the better. There are limitations as the electrons can not pass through a space to small without bleeding power. Much like the amount of miles per gallon of gas for a car. We will never see a gasoline engine do 1000 miles a gallon. As for the smallest chip possible likely 2nm or 1nm is the end of shrinkage of chip size. https://journals.aps.org/pr/abstract/10.1103/PhysRev.14.20#:~:text=Using the best available values,same in the different elements. "the radius of the electron is estimated as about 2 × 10−10 cm." so the number is the same as 2nm which makes 2nm seem impossible. I figure people are clever and may be able to stretch a round electron into a flatter oval shape. Which would likely mean 2nm to 1nm could maybe work. |

Top 25 highest grossing movies of all time!!1. Avatar: $2,923,706,026 ...... 25. Barbie: $1,212,583,000 Currently in the theaters now. I watched these movies almost 2/3 times and these were my favourites . Avatar, Spider-Man, Avengers, Titanic, Black Panther What's your favorite movie? I have seen almost all of these and I can't say that I really enjoyed any of them. Films that I found enjoyable were The mask As good as it gets Groundhog day The matrix Schindlers list All this super hero stuff I find too disconnected from reality and cant really get into them seriously. I don't know how you can put The Mask on that list but the rest is top notch. My favourite super hero stuff is The Dark Knight trilogy and Superman: The movie. Doubt they will ever be topped. Best atmosphere, music, heart and believability. Not even in the top 25 grossing list anymore. Wonder Woman seemed to have been done in the same sort of style. It was mostly pretty good. The second one was an abomination. I wonder how this list would look if we account for population growth and increasing cost of movie tickets? Agree highest grossing doesn't equal to quality movie.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films#Highest-grossing_films_adjusted_for_inflationHighest-grossing films as of 2022 adjusted for inflation| Rank | Title | Worldwide gross(2022 $) | Year | | 1 | Gone with the Wind | $4,192,000,000 | 1939 | | 2 | Avatar | $3,824,000,000 | 2009 | | 3 | Titanic | $3,485,000,000 | 1997 | | 4 | Star Wars | $3,443,000,000 | 1977 | | 5 | Avengers: Endgame | $3,165,000,000 | 2019 | | 6 | The Sound of Music | $2,884,000,000 | 1965 | | 7 | E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial | $2,815,000,000 | 1982 | | 8 | The Ten Commandments | $2,665,000,000 | 1956 | | 9 | Doctor Zhivago | $2,526,000,000 | 1965 | | 10 | Star Wars: The Force Awakens | $2,491,000,000 | 2015 |
The Shawshank Redemption The Godfather 1 and 2 only... Pulp Fiction Forest Gump Pulp Fiction = Decent Reservoir Dogs = Decent. Forest Gump = Decent The Usual Suspects = Really Good. Knives Out and Glass onion = Good I can't properly judge Mary Poppins or Sound of Music as I was under ten and saw them in the movie theater first run. Same with 10 commandments. So all of them have that young kid first impression issue. Oh Kill Bill one and two were very good. The use of bloodshed was very well done. |

"BTC Bitcoin Difficulty Estimator" is right on top. I am thinking he did not want to be redundant. https://newhedge.io/terminal/bitcoin/difficulty-estimatorBTC Bitcoin Difficulty Estimator Latest Block: 804315 (9 minutes ago) Current Pace: 107.0402% (1948 / 1819.88 expected, 128.12 ahead)Previous Difficulty: 52328312063443.84 Current Difficulty: 52391178981379.36 Next Difficulty: between 56104466001604 and 56108995644877 Next Difficulty Change: between +7.0876% and +7.0963% Previous Retarget: August 9, 2023 at 8:18 AM (+0.1201%) Next Retarget (earliest): Tomorrow at 10:12 AM (in 0d 10h 35m 16s) Next Retarget (latest): Tomorrow at 10:13 AM (in 0d 10h 36m 47s) Projected Epoch Length: between 13d 1h 54m 3s and 13d 1h 55m 33s Copy stats to clipboard This will be a pretty fucking brutal drop in profits for miners. diff to jump by 7% and price is at 26,000 a 100 th machine will earn only $5.65-5.75 pre-power and if it burns 30watts a th it needs to be under 8 cents to break even if it is an xp and burns 21 watts a th doing 140th it will earn $8.05 and needs to be at 10 cents to break even. So we are very close to miners limits not quite there yet.
A drop to 20k for 2 weeks and the diff staying flat would really put the screws to miners. 100th s19pro makes $4.34 it would need about 5.4 cent power 140th s19 xp makes $6.08 it would need about 7.6 cent power. I am not sure we could drop this much the next two weeks. |

I just checked and you are still up on Buddy by about 1100 posts...  However posting 24 times a day is a herculean task taken on by only the most stalwart of spammers... Maybe Buddy's wrangler will rest him someday, although it seems a bit unlikely at the moment given the recent market turmoil. I will be passed soon maybe in 100 days maybe 200 |

Hey, Alon here, I upkeep the difficulty estimator. And yes, the site did change, but hopefully for the better. Newhedge now offers more mining related insights, and also allows users to set custom alerts for our metrics (including the difficulty estimator). Also, you can expect 0 downtime. Hmm, they've changed the site name again?  https://newhedge.io/terminal/bitcoin/difficulty-estimatorLatest Block: 803903 (3 minutes ago)
Current Pace: 105.4325% (1536 / 1456.86 expected, 79.14 ahead)
Next Retarget (earliest): Tuesday at 9:59 PM (in 3d 3h 52m 40s)
3 days left, 5% up, too little time to see any major players turning their gear off or turning them to make a dent anymore I guess. Based on Viabtc numbers income si at $0.063 per th/s. The last S19pro that was on sale will make you $6.3 a day burning 72kwh, you're above $0.087 you lose money, if you don't use additional cooling, you don't pay staff, you don't pay rent and you don't pay a lot of other things. Looking back at older gear , S17, you make $3.3, 48kwh, and you lose money at $0.068. If it goes below 25k and the hash rate doesn't drop at least a bit in the next adjustment after going up 5%!!!!! something fishy is happening. Nice to here from you. Your website has been well used here. I gave you some merits so if you post every once in a while you will make some rank. Thanks again. |

If there is anything simple that I have learned in crypto, is nothing but to be less greedy, this is what some people lack being a crypto person and as long as there is money in a particular place, scams will never cease to exist that particular place, they will keep coming in different forms in different trends and no matter how expert you have been around here, you will come across them. However, it's not everyone that has this sense of smell to convert it easily as a red flag, these scams come and go in every trend but there is always a catch in the way they present them if you carefully take your time to observe, criminals always live evidence behind and that is what I'm going to share with you.
A scam is not limited in any form in crypto, they could be criminals that manipulate people into having their privacy and securities, scammers that generally steal a wallet or drain the wallet of people but the scams I want to share are limited to physical appearance, things you can look from far and detect that you are in the wrong place, some of this red flags are easily detectable but as I have said, greed is what makes many of us into places we are not to be which result to regret of being in crypto in the first place but I will share you some of the ones I have learned so far. Come with me as I share:
High APR and APY: These two are used as a form of reward for people that love staking their coins and tokens, and in return, they are given interest for a period of time, the two are different, APY stands for Annual percentage rate and APY stand for Annual percentage yield and the difference is that APR is compounded and APR are not compounded, so technically APR will be slightly higher but not much gap. The lesson is not about the difference but the percentage these projects gives which are ridiculous percentage as high as 100% to 1000% in other to make people stake their tokens to reduce inflation but they are scams mechanism.
When you lock your coins in any platform that promises high yield is always a trap for people to lock their coins and when the market is going down, you wouldn't be able to sell and whatever the APR they gave you wouldn't be able to compensate you for the loss, they are either scams to prevent you from selling or to take away your coins, no real projects offer high yield, you should be cautious of this when it exceeds 3-5%
Team: There is no good feeling like knowing the people around what you have in your portfolio, it may not be a guarantee of the success of what you buy to hold but knowing that people that are working behind what you invested in reduce the risk of scams and teams running and abandon what you have wasted money on. There are times projects go anonymous for projects like DEFI that are high risk as they always new and test, they do that for disclaimer purposes in case it failed which is the intention is clear. However, there are some projects that hide their identity by using fake ID are always scams because that's impersonation to give an impression of what they are not, this is one of the red flag people should detect during personal research, nobody will tell you this but you alone and the signs are there when they use fake ID from google and Stock images for impersonation.
Plagiarized and Lazy structure of the contents and website: A man that doesn't have time to think will lack tangible art to present and Ponzi schemes don't lack this from their master plan, they lack idea, they also lack reasonable solutions to problems, the only thing they know is to think out of the box to plagiarize another work and promise to do better in the original work so that people will think they are the real deal breaker, while in the process of doing this, they don't do it from scratch, they present the old idea and change the name and places that will looks similar to their scams. Oftentimes, you could see this from their websites, their documentation and whitepapers are copies of another idea and these are the signs to always check in any projects.
Under pressure to rush things: Real project will do their work at their own convenience without procrastination, they don't give into pressure, they take time to build and when they deliver or make announcements, they make sure they meet expectations and don't disappoint, they always work with the road map and keep people along the timeline with the mission they promise from the beginning but Ponzi and scams are easy to detect right from when they do crowdfunding and public sale, always in rush to make money so they can run away with people money without valuable result for the people, sometimes in public sale when they don't hit their scam target, they keep increasing the time over and over to continue their fraud until someone expose them of their scam.
Unregistered company and short time website duration: Another red flag to look out for is when a company that claims to have a project is not registered, a real company will be registered and fully recognized with a registration number to prove they are real and not fake individuals to avoid any doubt that will raise any form of suspicion. When they have their website registered in under a month and will expire in the following year is another thing to avoid, most of them do this to clean their tracks after scamming people with their Ponzi schemes.
Ponzi schemes and scams are everywhere and they will continue to exist but they can be avoided, you just need to be extra careful and sometimes look for the red flags, you will get one or two pieces of evidence to avoid them if you are not greedy, remember a safe investment is a safe mental health and safe future.
This is a pretty good post. High unrealistic interest = Ponzi = 90% true or even higher. also all POS = piece of shit even if they are not a Ponzi they are not backed by energy. Most exchanges that offer high yield staking = fail There are under a dozen POW coins with good gear and solid network backing. 1)BTC buy and hodl or mine and hodl 2)LTC/Doge mine and hodl basically that's all I do 1+2 and nothing else. |

Another Sunday
Spent pondering digitoads
and writing haikus.
New York Yankees lost
Shaved up smooth as Barbie dolls.
They look pathetic.
Do the shave their legs
And maybe their armpits too?
Fun to watch them lose.
Meanwhile with Bitcoin,
The price is going sideways
At twenty-six now.
Real hodlers don't care
About little ups and downs.
One coin is one coin.
I am a met fan they really suck. Highest payroll ever and they won't be a 500 club. Wait til next year. Your club is doing well 69-56 |

Avatar sucked Avatar II was worse |

O/T Blue Beetle (2023) Atrocious.  Worst DC movie since Wonder Woman 2. Almost as bad as some of the recent Marvel movies such as Thor 4, Dr Strange 2 or Black Panther 2. I had some hope things were turning the corner 60-ish% into the film and have a bit of heart. Then it's straight back to stupid shit, everyone doing wonderful things and gimmicky crap. Stupid unexplained weapons and vehicles. The complete opposite of the greatness of DC with the likes of Batman and Superman movies from the past which were grounded in a sense of almost reality, making you believe things like that could really happen. It's like DC literally tried to do Marvel here -nothing matters and everyone including your nan can help-, thinking that is a good idea. It's not. Don't waste your time. 4/10 but blue is such a nice color |
