NastyFans: The Bitcoin Enthusiast Fan Club (est. 2012)

[OgNasty]

I've sold our non-functioning R4 to someone for parts.  They sent a separate payment for shipping, and I've been told another small payment will be made in the coming days.

Just learned of nastyfans, very amazing project, true to the heart of crypto and my own goals. I will be following this project closely and hopefully aquire a seat before too long. Seriously solar mining and silver coins! What more could you want! Keep up the amazing, inspiring work.

Since I just got my hands on the first minted seat I've ever owned I thought it might be fun to get a little bit of coin together from other members that have a part in NastyFans. If you want to help get a minted seat into the hands of another user, advance NastyFans in a small way all while having a little bit of fun then donate a little bit. Before you know it we'll be rolling a raffle. I'll start a thread and then edit this post to link to it, but I'm having trouble deciding exactly where to put it; I'm thinking collectibles or Goods is the only appropriate place.

I am willing to match the largest single contribution, up to .05 BTC this time around. We'll see how things go in the future, but if you'd like to donate more than I am willing to match then feel free to do so.

The address will be 35EgPr6gabrmmu3qgwjKEa3uvTDX8WR2Mv that I will accumulate donations towards. Once we've got enough donated I will start the raffle thread with any suggested terms that I feel are appropriate to include. Let's get this show on the road!

Great initiative.  I sent a couple donations.

curious - why is nastyfans running a sig for a different pool?

You seem confused. NastyFans is an organization, not a person. It has no signature spot to advertise anything.

Edit:

maybe so but all your posts have an advertisement for sigma pool in the signature. and that is all I was referencing, I would think your signature would have an advertisement for your pool, that is all.

NastyFans operates a 0-fee p2pool node with custom payouts, not me. Any NastyFans member is free to advertise whatever they want. You seem to still be confusing me with NastyFans. I assure you that being a member of NastyFans brings with it no advertising requirements or exclusions of any kind.

I also have a question concerning my account - when I attempt to log in at https://www.nastyfans.org I am being told my account is "terminated" - not sure why it is but it is - So, when I try to register again, it tells me I cannot because "username already taken"

can this be rectified?

MINING UPDATE:
A week ago I purchased a Whatsminer M10 for NastyMining which is now hashing away.  This brings our current hashrate to around 45th/s.  I am also considering upgrading the GPUs, but am not sure if I should go with the 2080 ti or Vega VII.

Great ! mooore hashpower. Let's see/hope the M10 is a stable miner.

I haven't looked in to the Vega VII but i know 2080ti is worth money/haspower compared to like a 1080ti or prized are dropped in the mean time...

We'll discover the Vega VII's performance soon enough.  I purchased one yesterday for NastyMining that will be arriving next week.  I'll likely sell off our Vega 56 GPUs at some point and purchase another Vega VII if the efficiency is as good as expected.

Which coin is NastyMining goinig to mine with the new GPUs ?

Whatever performs best and is most stable on NiceHash when I do the testing. Right now we’re mining Beam and receiving BTC payouts with our GPUs.

Edit: I've purchased a second Vega VII as it became available.

Edit 2: The Vega VIIs have been running stable for more than a week now.  I can't say I'm blown away by their performance, but they did provide a 50% boost over the Vega 56s.

I've sold off our Antminer S9.  Keeping my eye on the M20 & S17 announcements...

[OgNasty]

MINING UPDATE:
I've placed an order for the new top of the line S17Pro from Bitmain.  This should be shipped quickly, and will hopefully be up and running before Cinco De Mayo.  I'll be exploring opportunities to sell our Whatsminer M10 in the coming weeks as we move to being exclusively a 7nm GPU & ASIC mining operation.

nice - I wish I could justify it but it is mainly the tariff that stops me - hopefully within a month or so they will drop in price when the profits plummet from the increased network hashrate and then bitmain will issue coupons as well.

I am looking forward to seeing results from the early birds though.

ognasty - side note, do you use wind to subsidize your power usage?

ognasty - side note, do you use wind to subsidize your power usage?

Yes.  Here's a video of my wind turbine before I added supports and painted the pole.

If I could find a way to get some decent hydroelectric going, I'd be all over it.

nice! i am thinking about adding some wind turbines but as a user of one, is it worth it? and how hard is it to connect in to the system?

I don't recommend wind turbines for normal people except for harnessing the 'cool factor' at this time.  Maybe future technological advancements will change that.  I talk a little more about it in the Green Energy Project thread and found this comment on the subject: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1783328.msg29185263#msg29185263
