An extra digit for the value of your stash?

BOOM Another 1%. Finally. NOW were rich.

Speak for yourself whale !

Let's hear it for whale holders.

Every 1% rise is $10,000,000.00 earned for Bitcoin billionaires like the Winklevoss twins.

Add an extra zero for Satoshi, if he hasn't lost his keys. 

The winklevii will have their revenge. Their net worth will pass Zuck's within the next decade.

Must be nice thou....to have money, BEFORE, you won the settlement with Facebook.

I'm unclear though, how much of the settlement did they put into Bitcoin? All of it? Or what proportion?

If it was ALL OF IT..they have a lot more balls, then I gave them credit for previously, and they could barely walk then!

$11M was put in... I think the settlement was $6xM.

At the beginning of my crypto journey, I build a GPU rig, as it was something I was comfortable with (used to be a mad overclocker), and mined LTC.

I never mined BTC.

Now I'd like to. Not something large scale, and I know it might not be the best investment, I'd just like to have mined some BTC.

Do one of you know how to get an antminer S9 for a fair price ? Including from Bitmain, is there some kind of waiting list ?

Lots of scams around.

I believe the mining hardware section of the forum has reliable info. And I think bitumen has a website for orders, but they come in batches, and sell fast.

Note i've not bought anything from them.

Sold out for now. But you can keep checking for a new batch. Just know Bitmain has recently only accepted Bitcoin Cash for their miners.

No mansion for me, more like a a hobbit house

but off the grid, hell yeah

You saying that because you don't have enough bitcoins or because you don't want to draw attention to yourself?


By the way, we all gonna be fucked if prices reach $111k, so better have enough coins.

I mean, we gonna be so fucked in the head from RICHes that we gonna have some difficulties figuring out spending, diversification, security.. and some fucking ass new standards that are out of our regular comfort zone... so gotta kind of tentatively start planning, so we not be so shocked...

Have any of you guys actually lived of grid?
It's not as fun as it sounds. When I was a kid we would often spend time in my grandparents summerhouse, with no electricity. You had to get up in the middle of the night to keep the fire going, you had to pump the water by hand, you had to heat the water on the fire, no shower, just a quick hand wash.

They later installed electricity and it was bliss, electric water pump and heating, and all that (but still no shower, they were the old generation who took a bath twice a week or so, the rest was hand wash).

I would love to live of grid, but you simply cant make enough electricity for electric heating, you would have to have a wood burner or oil burner for that. And that's not my cup of tea, except as a backup. Hopefully though, they will soon come up with some kind of high capacity battery that makes wind/solar possible as the only energy source.

[jojo69]

I really can't wait for the hardware to become commodity.  I really enjoyed mining, particularly this time of year.

[arklan]

With enough solar/wind you can power anything. Maybe not as efficient as you want, but it can be done. I mean, tesla just installed and turned on a battery the size of a football field down in south Australia to help with outages. If i recall what i read correctly, it can power 30,000 homes for an hour without assistance.

If i went off grid, power would not be a concern. Hell, i'd be selling it. Buy a few hundred acres, build a bunch of solar and wind, leave the rest wild... Hell yea.

Good stable internet would be a bitch though. And no, satellite isn't good enough.

Yes I have and the technology has come a long way.

A modern catalytic stove will easily keep the fire all night, nearly 24 hours as a matter of fact.  Personally I much prefer wood heat.  I currently live in town and I miss having fire in my life.

Flat plate collectors on the roof coupled with a heat exchanger on the stove for hot water, or on demand propane if you are lazy.

DC pump and some solar to run it.  It really isn't that hard.

Off grid doesn't mean roughing it.  That's off-rocker.  It's not terribly expensive to build a fully self sustaining dwelling that provides all of your water and some of your food.  Investigate Earthship building.  No, it doesn't have to be as hippie ugly as most examples.  Also, good solar has been around for a few years.   It just costs more than walmart solar.  Add geo, wind,hydro and hydrocarbon  as location dictates. Personally, I'm not counting cost as a major factor these days anyway.  Just have to find the right location. Within the next 2 years, it's happening!

For heat, if your house is so inefficient as to need it, a nice wood fired rocket mass heater is the clean and efficient way to go.

BTW,  building codes set a MINMUM insulation.  It shouldn't be taken as a fucking standard.  The waste in this society is mind boggling.

Of course, clearly you start by designing for off grid.  We aren't building your grandparents summer shack here.

I am really interested in the new homestead scale pellet mills, I think Himalayan blackberry mixed with whatever waste biomass I am producing anyway would burn hot as fuck.
