So he understands it's gambling then. He understands he used a half-mil business loan for gambling. Out of curiosity, where are all these Bitcoin Ponzi schemers hailing from? It is all like, Eastern Europeans getting money off dumb rich Americans?

QuarkJets posted:The gently caress you talking about? New supercomputers based on the latest and greatest components are constantly getting built, HPC is a huge industry in the US. IIRC on Top500 the US Government owns about half of the most powerful supercomputers, many of which were built within the last couple of years

Any ideas on when nicehash might payout >0.01btc to external wallets again? I finally hit that amount. Is it anybody's guess or has it been semi-weekly?

Just snagged an Antminer A3. Gonna mine some Siacoin. Anyone think this is going to end up like the D3's? I don't really care that much, but I'm hoping for ROI in 3 mo.

Kazinsal posted:We're representing supercomputing, eh A few of them get used for weather and that kind of stuff, but most of the US supercomputers spend their time doing military things, like modelling nuclear explosions or fluid dynamics for air travelling over missiles/aircraft. So yeah, with a defense industry as big as ours we have a lot of supercomputers to go with it.

I have alerts for lots of mining board and hardware on newegg, motherboards last 30-35 minutes, graphics cards 5-8. Difficulty is going to rise big time in the next couple weeks.

Gobbeldygook posted:Sia is different from most altcoins because they're used by a real, working technology platform to safely store your child pornography. That doesn't mean it's good but it's not Dentacoin. So burstcoin is the one where you fill your hard drives with nonces and siacoin is the one where nonces fill your hard drives. Got it.

Kibayasu posted:Also no information of that kind is stored on these machines. If some mythical hackers managed to get everything on our side and the public company's side, they'd at most learn the shipments and payments Even before Meltdown and Spectre, there were ways that you should fear data breach beyond files-saved-on-storage. And now we have those, too. You are a fool to bring out the “Hasn’t Happened” doctrine. This also covers/covered: cryptoware KRACK Heartbleed letting untrusted programs run as admin actual crack AIDS WW3 fire in your office electrical fault in your office fire in your home near fatal car wreck most of September 2017 And yet for some of those, he already (and much of our societies) plans against risk.

Craptacular! posted:I used to pay Self-Employment Tax, which starts (started?) at $400. The thing is, I think the occupation actually has to be a regular job. Even cottage industries, DoTerra sales rep gigs, painting houses nine days a year but making above the reporting line, etc. must be reported. Even if you’ve got a 9 to 5, 40 hr salaried, whatever. In many states, B&O tax doesn’t applies, nor it there a reporting burden for, low income ranges. Fed tax sure does though. WA State: gross more than $20k yearly and you must license and report. (Or, it was a decade ago—perhaps the number’s changed.) But you’ve got a Schedule C to file with the IRS weeeeellll before that number, for example.

so like... is the demand for cards still driven by btc speculation or is it just down to the fact that there's none left on the shelves and there's a broader need for them? Like are people earnestly buying $1000 gtx1070s because uh I've got one.

Comfy Fleece Sweater posted:When is Ampere coming out? The expectation is next quarter, though no hard details have been released yet. But the chip shortage and reports/rumors of NVidia sharply curtailing/ceasing Pascal production points to Ampere coming sooner rather than later.

There are still some 1080's for sale here and they are cheaper than 1070's. Why would you want a 1070 if you had to buy it at current prices? Anyone remember when RX480 was going to be $200?

$200 was a bait and switch, it was for a limited release of 4gb cards, the actual price ended up at $230-250 until the June/July madness
