How is the requirement to re-plot a scam? This enables pooling without having to worry about double farming, which is great. They should have had this ready when they launched, so that's a big thing they missed, but I think all in all the team is pretty professional and making good progress towards a greener Nakamoto consensus chain.

Profits are not great, I give you that, but let's see what the future brings.

Just the on-ramp cost is expensive. The CPU intensive plotting. But after that the HDDs don't draw much power. So there is a huge difference plotting once and then farming vs. GPU mining, which continuously draws a lot of power.

Chia is an interesting concept, since it is the only real green way to have a Nakamoto type consensus algorithm. The success of the chain will solely depend on in which direction the Chia company is heading and how much adoption they can drive. I am mining it in a pool with some hard drives, that I was planning to buy anyway. If it becomes super unprofitabel to mine, I will just use the drive space for other purposes - datahoarding

I think Chia is a solid project. Their goal was making a greener crypto, which in their case can only be achieved if it does not make sense for people to buy HDDs solely for mining. Not having pools ready on mainnet launch was an oversight for sure. But the vision is: Anybody can make some small money by just mining their spare drives - cost of HDDs and XCH price will reach a point where just building a farm makes no sense, but using your spare (free to you) space does. Network growth at that point will be slow, and therefore energy utilization of the network as well, since plotting will not be happening at large scale anymore.

At this point people are still plotting like crazy, since they are betting on price growth of XCH. It's a gamble, but XCH is still young. Who knows where it's gonna trade. The team and backers of the project are solid. VC money makes their operation stable for a few years. Let's see where it goes.

I think if a miner dev finds a workaround for this, he/she will make bank. All 3060s produced will use that miner.

Deutschland scheint ja schon ziemlich gut fuer HODLer zu sein steuertechnisch. Portugal allerdings hat keine Crypto Steuern. Haben hier Leute Erfahrungen damit dort ihren Hauptwohnsitz anzumelden und somit keine Steuern auf Crypto zahlen zu muessen? Das waere insbesondere fuer Leute interessant, die eine grosse Summe auscashen wollen. 

Meet at a police station. Some have an entrance area with an officer sitting behind some glass. Just meet up there and you will be safe.

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

What are the overclock setting you guys are using for RX470/480/570/580 for KAWPOW?

I for sure would also be interested in a group buy.

I got a 3060TI today at Microcenter local. They had a bunch of 3070s as well. Would you guys snatch 3070s as well?

For me, I was really just interested in 60s and 80s, but 1 card limit per day anyway.

Philip, I hope you still have a good portion of Doge. 

Ich bin ja ein bisschen ein Sonderfall, da ich in den USA bin.Das Mining findet in den USA statt. Ich versteuere hier die Einkuenfte mit meinem Gehalt.

Ich plane aber ueber kurz oder lang nach DE zurueckzukehren. Die Frage ist dann wie ich die im Ausland per Mining gewonnenen Coins versteuern muss/wie lange ich die halten muss um keine Steuern zu zahlen.

Ja, ich bezahle hier in den USA Einkommensteuern auf die geminten Coins mit dem Wert, den sie an dem Tag an dem ich sie erhalte, haben. Ich weiss nur nicht, ob ich jetzt ein Jahr warten muss, sodass ich keine Capital Gains Steuer auf die Kursgewinne zahlen muss. Also sagen wir, ich mine einen Coin im Wert von 10 Euro. Ich bezahle Einkommenssteuer auf die 10 Euro. Jetzt gewinnte der Coin Wert und ist auf einmal 100 Euro wert. Muss ich jetzt ein Jahr warten, damit ich keine Steueren auf die 90 Euro Kursgewinn zahlen muss?

Ich wohne momentan in den USA und mine hobbymässig Eth. Wenn ich jetzt zurück nach Deutschland gehe, sind die Coins dann steuerfrei? In den FAQ steht dass bei geminten Coins die Haltedauer keine Rolle spielt - ist das wirklich wahr oder muss ich ein Jahr warten?

Gibt es da vom Finanzamt eine Stellungnahme.

Reddit hardwareswap is good to avoid Ebay fees.
Craigslist as well.

If you don't find buyers there, just use EBay.

I can warranty them np. 150 is the price to pay to source them rn, since everywhere they are sold out. So getting quantity is the big big problem. I am thinking, that if the stock situation does not improve in like 3-4 months, it will totally be worth getting them for that premium, especially since I am selling/ have sold my old Polaris cards rn. And resale value should be not bad, considering they are just released.

EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 XC3 10G-P5-3885-KR is the model. I also have free electricity for at least half a year longer.
I am just upgrading old rigs.

I can get a good amount of cards by the end of the month. Considering buyin' 20 with money I have not invested into anything else right now. And would not have to buy boards or anything, since I am swapping out old cards.
It's a real seller (through a distributor, so I will have warranty)

Would you guys take the risk and buy RTX 3080s at inflated prices? Like around $900 a pop (plus tax)?
