"Friends don't let friends HDD." Indeed.
Word. This is devolving into a party..and if I may quote you my friend.. Go Bitcoin Go  |

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Samsung isn't the only company that makes good or reliable SSDs. I have a bunch of computers in my house, all with non-Samsung SSDs. I outfitted all the computers in my office with non-Samsung SSDs a couple years ago too.
Out of them all, I've only had two die - a 32GB and 64GB. They were both pretty early models with SandForce controllers.
With Samsung, you're mostly paying for the brand name IMO.

Good solid volume on this pump.
Perhaps I should go to bed early and check the charts between 3 am and 6 am my time. That is usually when the really big volume moves happen. |

Any idea what's the reason behind the extra-pump of Monero?

No idea. Some people are blaming the pump on anticipation of the Monero V fork, but this pump is too sudden for that. |

Check out Altered Carbon (read the book before watching the show)
I realized I already had it. I got it a long time ago after reading good things about it on Reddit, but I never got around to actually read it. I think it'll be the next SF book I read. or even more original Schild's Ladder (both published in 2002).
This might be a bit over the top for me. When plots in fiction get to the point of having so much cutting edge science as a founding element, I'd rather read an actual essay if I'm interested. With a work of fiction, you never know the boundary between genuine and made up unless you're familiar with the territory. I might give it a tentative skim. |

No idea. Some people are blaming the pump on anticipation of the Monero V fork, but this pump is too sudden for that. Didn't knew there was going to be a fork. I only have a few moneros and I have them on an exchange as there's no hardware wallet support for it (yet). Should I move them to a software wallet to benefit from the fork? |

Basically, claiming coins on the fork will compromise your own privacy and likely the privacy of the entire Monero network. Anyway, the forked coins will probably be near-worthless. |

I hate hard drives...fickle, delicate beasts
No freaking kidding. HDDs are obsolete relics from the 20th century second millennium. It's time to move on from moving-parts contraptions. glass-bulb technologies and other fragile inefficient garbage. I've been using SSDs since the days of IDE (PATA) and have never had an SSD fail. I originally got into SSDs for performance (used HDDs in RAID-0 and RAID-5 before that), backing up to HDDs. It was the HDDs that actually failed. I was mainly seeking fast writes and reads. The extremely lower failure rate of SSDs was just a bonus. What's the longest time you have used an SSD for? I thought they were supposed to wear out faster than HDDs. I'm pushing 5 years on my oldest one, and it has been flawless. Pretty sure I've never had a HDD last that long, or even close. My newest NVMe Pro is ridiculously fast. Friends don't let friends HDD  Was your oldest one a cheap brand, an expensive brand, or a mid range brand? All Samsung. The old one I'm assuming, as it is in a sealed Samsung laptop... I think lately Samsung came out a latest model of laptop, that's I'll wait it before I buy. |

You are selling the transaction history for that wallet (handing over the keys) for valueless tokens with no means of exchange, no wallet code, no names and no answers. Better to ignore it. |

You are selling the transaction history for that wallet (handing over the keys) for valueless tokens with no means of exchange, no wallet code, no names and no answers. Better to ignore it. All my moneros are on an exchange right now so.... no tx history to protect. But, if it is valueless, then there's absolutely no point to claim it of course. In fact I don't use to claim my forks (except BCH which I have profited handsomely for a shitcoin) but I would like to be in position for a later claim if I decide it to be worth. If that means temporarily moving to a software wallet before the fork, it's ok. I do agree on the not being free if you are giving out your privacy.... but, even if that were the case, my privacy would also be on sale "for the right price". It's just a matter of numbers adding up. |

So BTC is trading sideways and shitcoins are all falling. They should be rallying. So what changed?
I am not sure. But if this continues, I am going to stop running my GPU to mine shitcoins. I only have one 1070, so not making much anyway. Mostly doing it as a hobby. However, the payout is getting to the point that I'm not sure it's even worth the wear and tear on my GPU. Yes, payouts are terrible now, the only consolation for me is the free heating, if it stays like this once we get into warmer weather I'm out. |

Looks like some trailing buys
Buy wall just moves up every chance it gets.
Very bullish.
