My hedge started working nicely now.   Now I have a nice 1.1 btc short with a 54,000 basis and a stop at 53,500, collecting interest also, hopefully around 0.25% a day.

At this point my play is to be short until the market strengthens, trying to trade this as a hedge and letting it run.  If things still look weak tomorrow I'll have to set price points of where to sell more short, being careful not to let my  position turn negative.  If I get stopped out all the better my mining profits will make up for it.



Perfect example of wny I retired from 20 years of trading and started mning back in 2016.  I went from a $4,000k gain to $500 profit.

I had sold about 5000usd worth at 58000

I grabbed back a piece of it at 49000

It says you can still mine in full (~28 Mhs) with a 4Gb card Ethereum (ETH) if you insert it into the x16 slot on the Mobo. I guess only on the first slot.... DAG is loaded into the RAM? What do you guys think?

It works. But yeah, need a board with the bandwidth. And you need to use lolminer.

I like to make my card tally public since eventually I sell the cards.
 I just lower the cost value by the mining earnings although these cards may all have a $0 cost value when I sell them.

I'm pretty sure by the time you're ready to sell any of these cards the cost value will be $0.  Some 5700 XT I bought back in November are just about there.  My first 3000 series card wasn't purchased until Jan of this year so those still have some time to break even.  I'm definitely slowing down with them though after seeing that post with those 100 asics up and running on eth.

I spaced out doing the shuffle today, oh well.

I got picked for the 5900x processor.  I'm on the fence about it.

If you want to hedge a position for a few weeks or so you should just sell the futures instead and not the perps. Reason why is because the funding rate is dynamic. It was around 0.25% a day however after todays dump it seems to have been flat at 0.01% every 8 hours. If the sell off is going to continue most likely the funding will turn negative where shorts will pay longs and you might lose 0.25% day in funding.

I had this happen last February 2020 where the funding rate was high like 0.25% a day, and the futures were like 5% for June 2020. Since the funding would of paid more than the June 2020 futures I stayed in the perps. Then all hell broke lose due to covid and I ended up losing -1% per day due to funding. And if I stayed in the June 2020 futures, I would of made like 20% extra because the premium was 5% but when BTC crashed down to $3K there was a massive discount of like 15%, so if you were short you would of gotten an extra 20%.

well we have a little panic, some liquidation, 10% total out of defi, 20% pulled out of lending.  Driving fees through the roof, mining is now really killing it.  Btc will probably jump back up over our ATH (i hope) then we can sell that extra BTC each gpu is getting.  the fees...https://etherscan.io/gastracker

What's the smallest computer you can get a GPU to mine with?
Looking to build small spaceheaters, GPU+PSU+mini board with WIFI would seems a fun idea

Well do you want open board models?

any itx mobo from intel will work.

in a case let me look for an old photo

found that mofo!


a 1 card 1080ti
I cut a hole in the front for air flow.

Cooler master liked this so much they made this newer high air flow case.

which is a riff on my mod. I told them they should feel free to improve my improvement and that is what they did



these are good space heaters if you must have a case.

Personally this video has a great space heater.

it is pretty small and quiet but no kids pets or drunks allowed as it is open frame.

Looks like these are available for $140 and $30 shipping.  Not bad for Mobo, cpu, ram that runs off one 6pin power cable and smaller than a GPU.

That's a neat little board.  I like it.

It  is cute. I would consider it.

but website did not work

You have to send them an email and they will invoice you for wire transfer or btc/eth payment.

I would consider getting one to play with but I'm not sure I want to take the risk.

Installed a 6700xt yesterday   Edit (this is a 5700xt)
Best so far is 51mh  at 142 watts using PM

Using afterburner

-25 power limit

Core set at 2100 (stock) and indicates 1760 and not stable.

Is that really a core of 880?

Mem at 1775

Would like less wattage

Any ideas?
