I've mined 12,549 LTC since 2013...(most converted to BTC ..sigh..) but anyway..there is MUCH LESS innovation now in the coin then from years past...

the devs are more concerned with the BTC vs BCH wars and their hoard etc

again, show me something LTC is doing except promises...it is a sad state of affairs

brad

Well it is nice I suppose that the big Innsilicon miner types will be able to make a profit on this coin after electric costs...too bad you can't do so anymore with a

Bitmain A3 unit..in that they are going NEW on eBay as we speak for $50 INCLUDING FREE SHIPPING...

I got one used for that price last week ..in case I could run this ..but alas at 12c kwh it is not to be

pretty cool paperweight however after the 25% equip deduction is taken off my IRS this year to make it a $37.50 paperweight

When is the next payout on this campaign? Did it change to monthly or something and I missed the memo?

thanks

So we are all 'red shirts' that explains the last years price dump. Ack!

yep...I'm using the last of my LTC to live on (retired due to crypto early) I have some LISK I plan on keeping..but essentially...the LTC will be 'toast' by the end of the year.

Next will be for next year the Bitcoin Cash to live on. That and the last of my Altcoins will likely be burnt by 2020. Thus only the BTC is likely to be in HODL mode. (unless altcoins

and BTC pumps big time and I can put off the great altcoin's I hold massacre)

So essentially what I see going on is 'everyone' who uses BTC in some manner to live on or to cover their previous data hall or mining operations are now selling altcoins like crazy

to live on or clean up their data hall mortgage (hedge...get the building) or other tricks...and burning their previously (back in the day) mined or ICO or whatever Altcoins.

It is NOW for most people all about protecting the BTC baby.

Anyway, how it seems to be playing out now and again, unfortunately, Bitcoin Cash has 'eaten' Litecoin's lunch as silver to BTC's gold I'm afraid. Really hate it, but any newbie

trader I know is not paying any attention to LTC at all (and very little to BCH for that matter) ..but again, I see this trend going on well into spring 2019.

Not to mention of course the 1 Billion in USD in BTC .the GOX settlement is going to release this next spring 2019 (man hope that all crypto is pumping than to eat that feast)

So...interesting times in the next year. But the big boys with data halls like Bitmain and others are dumping altcoins to save the BTC Hoard. Hedging against risk sucks, but how it

seems to be going now.

So unless LTC gets some stuff off the ground with the old 'debit card' plan or something....they will simply move as the market moves...but I don't see altcoins nor LTC doing

very well at all, if we have another year of 'sideways' price action.

Anyway, chump or champ, time will tell.

"Needs Must, When The Devil Drives"

Anyway, I'll be out of LTC by the end of the year, using it for 'real world' uses. But my take on how this all is gonna shake out.


brad

My Guess is:

(tosses bones and dice)


$7038.22


(talk about yanking that out of my ass...blamo...just pop'd out)

Searing

yeah, what I figured...

if someone wants an A3 just for giggles and shelf art..this one is NEW and in the box (no psu) for $50 and NO shipping costs...

(a nice paperweight)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bitmain-Antminer-A3-BRAND-NEW/332841350212?hash=item4d7ee3f444:g:bW8AAOSw1fJa9FkK:rk:2:pf:0

if nothing else it is a 'cheap' 'space heater' for when you need a 'space heater' even if you only got 'dust' for the electric...still better than a true

space heater to keep your toes warm..in the old 'office cubicle' say

how you would 'account' for the 'jet engine' noise....I've no clue..but a youtube video of such a discussion with your boss would be epic


later

brad

yep on a $90 bill you make $30 that is damn hard to justify...anyway ...just asking

brad

er...huh? a larger version of my Avatar? der...huh?

Ditto. (I'm lazy, what he said above.)

I have 5 of them.

Brad

well an A3 uses what? 1375 watts...so if you only make that a day...that is about 30 bucks and about 90 bucks in electric?

unless you make a the above after electric (which i really, really doubt)

thanks

brad

is there a hyperspace mining calculator? curious.....doubt it is worth putting up the bitmain A3 unit ($50 with shipping included on ebay...I got for 'ASIC Shelf Art' (not on at all....still took the 25% equip deduction

off to make it $37.50...shhhhhhhh..don't tell)

anyway, a mining calculator (or a ballpark on what one of these 'space heaters' would make in hyperspace coin per day would be appreciated...

though hard to be a 'real coin' as it were, without a frigging mining calculator for your hyperspace coin...just saying (maybe it exists and I can't find a link)

thanks

brad

yeah..after 'poking that bear' it kinda sucks...no javascript types have 'slap'd me down' saying they are using LISK yet

As an aside..is their a 'site' or graph that shows current siacoin hashrate per manufacturer? Like how much of the hash is Innsilicon/Bitmain/Obelisk or whatever?

Also, what is a pretty fair 'consensus' with the above in mind of what the 'actual' difficulty of mining is gonna fall to for Siacoin, when/if the fork happens?

(I know we are guessing...but will it drop by 25% mining wise? 50% ..what do most folk think?)

I've got 5 of the doorstops...got the 1st one still in the box from August 30th....the rest still in the box as they straggled in as we speak...

I 'suppose' I should get motivated and at least get them up on the 'current' network even at a mining loss to see if they even work or not...before the firmware

upgrade (which I bet will be 1-2 weeks left...siatech it is how they roll)

anyway, guesses...just p*ssing in the wind in spite of myself here....stuff to do

this blockchain explorer FINALLY allows me to go by date and go all the way back to my 1st block on the FJC address. Something the MAIN FJC explorer (the one that was down

did NOT allow me to do)

works slick

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/fjc/

supposedly? this will stay up if the main FJC explorer goes down again in some manner? (not sure how this stuff works..just asking)

brad

how does (or not) does the LISK blockchain gain value from say any of these ICO's?

is there an increase in worth for each app on the lisk blockchain in some manner as each may be added?

thanks

brad

with 4/5ths of all blake2b equipment NOT being an Obelisk machine and not being able to mine Siacoin after Oct 31st, 2018, well I'd be shocked if they don't run the old blockchain and call it Siacoin Classic or some such.

So the problem with an 'exchange' taking such a coin with that much hash will be likely moot.

I'd like to be wrong, but just can't see folk (big and small) sitting on that much equipment as 'doorstops' without doing the above.

Brad

well not blockchain proof .but there is this of course you've seen

https://www.newsbtc.com/2018/04/27/charlie-lee-talks-selling-his-ltc-increasing-its-total-supply-and-twitter-trolls/

yep.....seems to be the case

brad

yep without that and 7 out of 8 Siacoin miners in the world being 'non-obelisk' without that the orphan chain (or I suspect siacoin classic) would have better odds of survival. Harsh, but their decentralized cloud storage anonymous network at 10c to Amazon Clouds NON-anonymous centralized (they know you) at $1. Well w/o
their plan...the coin is no better than Garlicoin or any other sh*tcoin of dubious use.

Put up or shut up time. Siacoin will live or die by their network vision above. No, if's and's or but's. IMHO.
