I think the guys at Bitmain get it. BCH will never take over BTC but I think they are competing with litecoin, for a settlement layer while BTC proves itself as a digital gold.

Too bad Litecoin is superior to BCash.

I hope for the latter, but am afraid it 's the former... . (But I also was pleasantly surprised to login succesfully in one attempt)... .

No doubt many have abandoned them, but they're also doing some major upgrade this month.

Do the folks who run these exchanges like their
toast load balanced or some such thing?

This might be off-topic but do some of you more experienced guys recommend mining to the average guy who can‘t get more than 10 miners or should we just stick to buying and holding BTC?
I don‘t know what I‘d enjoy more. The noise of S9‘s mining in my apartment or just watching BTC grow.

I gather it's only about $300 profit per S9 per month and that is probably the best case scenario (heard these machines are not exactly reliable), and it will only drop. So even at 10 S9s you're only looking at $3000 per month. One BTC is growing by more than that at the moment and you don't have to do anything except keep your keys safe.

Personally I wouldn't do it.

I've hardly ever seen anyone here in recent years saying that they took up Bitcoin mining, let alone made a success of it.

Most go straight to alts with GPUs.

Ugh, that‘s really nasty. S9‘s are cheaper now though, 1.4k but it doesn‘t leave much room for error. If the price of BTC drops bagholding isn‘t much fun and having headaches with those miners neither. I guess I‘ll pass

Then I stick to buying BTC  

Thanks for the heads up.

If you factor in Bitcoin's price increase you would probably make more than whatever is the current rate, or you would at least hold it. But overall it'd generally still be more profitable to just buy and hodl BTC. Mining is more of a hedge for very large crypto portfolios in my opinion.

I have a room filled with miners that is actually quite hot. Pretty sure you could run a sauna on miners in the summer months.

I sleep in it sometimes too because I like lingering inside the noise. They actually help me fall asleep and stop me from waking up randomly.

And he deserves it! Such repetitive humming noise can be very meditative. He deserves a peace nobel prize.

EDIT: Back on-topic. We may soon be aiming for new ATH. Get the champagne ready if you aren‘t still drunk from the last bull run. At 15k I‘ll pop a bottle and drink a glass for everyone who wants to join in. Wish you all an enjoyable Christmas season.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately Mathematicians don't get Nobel prizes because Nobel was a little twat who lost his girl to a Mathematician.
