Sometimes breakers are just slowly cooking

Yeah if you are just under and there is a small voltage drop say 120 to 110  or 240 to 210 breakers pop.

and when they pop, they are dead...forever, toasted.

my personal solution is increase the breaker amp capacity.

for example, if you are maxed out and breaker keeps popping at 80A increase it to 100A, only do this if you know what you are doing, just don't add more load just because it is "not popping anymore"

my solution is not in the electrical code, codes are there to guide and make things as fool proof as possible. just think about a breaker, it is just a switch (contact points connect and disconnect--> this is the weak point), there is no way it can match the electrical capacity of a solid (no connect and disconnect) wire, good high quality more expensive wires will perform. I have not tested all the breakers and brands but this is from experience.

BTW LOL at ETH mining profits, the 3080's are starting to look cheap hehehehe

well I was just thinking this.

Just got a notice from the IRS, I owe them $1.9 million dollars, lol.  Coinbase assholes sent them a 1099-k  saying I had 3.7 million in payment transactions.  I wish it was 10% of that, talked to my accountant and we will send them docs to correct.

my coinbase 1099s have been some crazy numbers but thats not what the irs taxes you by, it just how much money has gone in and out of coinbase. that number is not the taxable amount its the total amount thats passed through. some is taxable (if you made a profit), some not (ie you lost money and also they dont tax money you sent there, even though those figures are included in the 1099). the irs gets a copy of that and i give a copy to my accountant also to send in with the rest of the paperwork.

to get the actual taxes owed i just import my coinbase (and other exchange) transactions into a crypto tax program and sent it all off to my accountant. so far not a peep from the irs.

I don't use Coinbase. However it doesn't make sense why they report to the IRS the amount of deposits/withdraws when they should just report the amount of PnL by the trades that took place.

If someone buys 1 BTC at $17.9K on one exchange, sends it to coinbase, then it will appear as if they received $17.9K with a cost basis of $0? If they also withdraw this amount weekly and send it back because they want to keep some on cold storage, won't each deposit also add up the balances? Hence I dont understand why they use this method.

Crypto taxes are a pain, especially if you are trading BTC pairs like ETHBTC because there is an extra step in calculations that need to be taken.

earnings rate dropping but still better than what it was few days ago.  massive spike on ethermine.org pplns few hours back

oh i agree 100% the 1st 1099 i got from them (before i know how they "calculated" it) was a real eye opener. its why i use a crypto tax program, it lines everything up from the various exchanges so everything comes out in an order and format the irs understands. then i check the actual straight up deposits/withdrawals to and from the bank and personal wallets (not trades, just money and btc in/out) to make sure they are correctly not taxed (they have not been). kinda a pain but then again taxes are not meant to be fun i guess.

theres a form that has as you say the real profit/loss (another variant of the 1099 i believe) but for whatever reason they dont use it.

i dislike coinbase for some past actions (especially that team they hired that had to do with tracking down that dude that was killed especially rankles me.. i forgot the details so i may have some of that wrong) but as a usa citizen, in the land of the *cough*  free, its one of the few legal on/off ramps i can use.

at least theyve never done me wrong and ive been with them close to a decade. thats about the only good thing i can say about them.

and yes they track the living shit outta you but i never expected otherwise.

ethermine estimated payouts was a fluke, they had a glitch with difficulty i think.  Estimated earnings were way off.  I think they are good now.

[miner29]

Yeah every so often ive seen it on ethermine and they had something else as payments were pending for 48 hrs.  Then late last night came the days payout and the one before.

Nano lost its account look up on its pools last night for hours.  It was restored this morning.  Was getting shares accepted but no matter whos wallet you put in was not found.  Even the last mined blocks wallets.  It showed the last 10 or so mined blocks and who mined them but when you clicked them same as when i hit my usual pool page to check my miners. 

And Nice Hack had some issues with its web page evidently (dns attack / screw up).  Anyways...such is life on the internet.

I found a source for 3090 from evga. In stock

it is the 24G-P5-3975-KR

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=24G-P5-3975-KR

it lists for 1619.99 on evga site

the dealer I found has it for

1825

he does take PayPal

here is the link


https://minefarmbuy.com/product/nvidia-gpus/?v=a284e24d5f46

note this is a non referral link

I got my 3080's from him

he has some 3080's and some 3070's

my 2 evga 3080's are very good so far.  

I got these from him

https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=10G-P5-3885-KR

on evga they are 769 . This batch he marked them up to 955 but he does have a Btc discount or you can use PayPal with six months to pay.


I spent all I can spend in buying the three from him.

Note the links are non referred

Eth is over 500

[fr4nkthetank]

eth fees are up too.  One of the top coins in fees generated is literally what seems to be a russian pyramid scheme    lmao

I don't know exactly what it is to be honest ,but a lot of gpus are mining it. We are almost back to 2018 Jan all time highs in hash.

Picked up an ASUS 3080 at the Columbus Microcenter and its running well 94.81 mhs at 230 watts in SMOS.  I have two weeks to return it if it starts losing hash.  I've had bad luck with ASUS in the past.

Every asus rog of any year i have owned has been good.

I have had problems with asus dual gpus.

asus dual's are garbage

Back in the early mining days when people mined bitcoin with gpus and mined LTC with GPUs, ASUS was pretty much the highest quality of GPU you could buy. I had some Radeon 7950/7970 and they were ASUS brand and they were very solid built, ran at like 80C for years, and never let me down. Only issue was maybe after 3 years the fans started to go due to the bearings in them. However when I opened up the GPUs, it looked like it was built to military spec.

Then I had some ASUS RX series GPUs and the quality really has gotten down hill. The fans still had issues with bearings but when you open up the GPU, look at the PCB board, it looks poorly made. Clearly lots of cost cutting has been put in ASUS gpus. No idea how their higher end GPUs are but their lower and middle tier are poor quality.

Good


Eth is getting better on viabtc

last week it was 0.0241 dollars a mh

it is now 0.0322 dollars a mh

eth itself is up to 545 a coin

ltc is up over 85 a coin

doge has past 0.00342433 a coin

Eth could take off for miners


https://etherscan.io/chart/hashrate


we have not reached the old peak of 295.911 th on aug 9th 2018 which is good.

What is happening is the 4gb cards are fading away and being replaced by new gear very much on an equal level.

This could continue for all of 2020 about 40 more days of same diff. So if price drifts to 700 to 800

 1 mh could go to 0.05 dollars

your 50mh cards will do $2.50 easy peasy

I think we have a very solid 40 day window for eth.

Its not fast but its cool.  I can up the mem a bit but it crashes.  I can lower the voltage a bit but it crashes.  I can lower core clock but hashrate degrades a lot.  I wonder how many watts, 120v, on 80+ bronze psu 1000GQ, it uses at the wall.  Any guesses before I measure ?  any ideas to improve, this rig is a bit weird.  edit: its the asus 5700 oc evo dual.  I wouldnt say very stable but were 340 in usd equivalent so very cheap to me
