Welcome back, gaud! Long time, no read!

Which App?

I know pool/blocks but cant find user

Nice to wakeup to a block Hope i still will get some great earnings with my 23ths.

I see people write the name of the block founder.

Where can i see this name?

$1500 per S9 /w pSU?

I agree. They are indeed spooked. I fell down the rabbit hole, when it was at $170usd. It's going to take ALOT more before
I start doubting things. My other hobbies include things with horsepower, so I'll NEVER see an ROI, besides smiles. I'm not
worried about it. My miners are TOOLS of the trade, not the trade itself. Also, buying and holding has NEVER been bad for me.

People new to the ups and downs of the price, who are Miners, need to understand the importance of this Pool. If we can keep the
hashrate up, and stay growing, our rewards will come quicker. This is not an unattainable goal, and I've personally dedicated my
time towards it. I see it as, we can set back and hope things happen, or we can put forth effort to MAKE things happen. This
community is something that WE can shape, and to some extent, influence to our likings. Like finding blocks quicker. I like that!!!

It's more than just plugging in a miner and hearing the sound of a slot machine....IF you're in it for the Long run!!! If you think the miner is a slot machine, and you'll get rich in 2 months, there's definitely more for you to learn about.

For every hour long block, there's blocks that are solved within a few seconds/minutes.  It all evens out.  More and more machines coming online = difficulty rising.

***BUYERS BEWARE!!!***
Sorry for the long lead-up, but I was already up too late last night and too busy today with this pesky day-job to run this by everyone...

So, you all may have noticed I've been talking about a hardware wallet I ordered. Well, it was supposed to be a "new" Ledger HW.1, and although it came in a plastic-sealed box, it was half punched out of it's plastic card-shaped holder, AND it had obvious scratch marks across the plastic and gold-plated contact area. At best it was careless workmanship; at worst it was as clear as day tampering, and who knows what else?!

Anyway, I just wanted to try saving others some grief if they too were looking for a cheap but brand name solution to work as a hardware wallet. Thanks to Kano 's advice, I'm leaning more toward a standalone Linux machine dedicated to Bitcoin Core... Wish me luck!

What’s the expected increase this time?
And do you have a good site to track expected increases?

I use to use a few but they’re all outdated now

Get 20% VAT plus other fees in UK, had 3xS9 delivered last week Fed Ex wouldn't release till I paid over £900 in fees!!!

That next miner for them will be announced very shortly!  (Even if it's just an s9 with asicboost enabled).

We've had some "great luck" so to return to the mean of 100% over time....longer block solving is to be expected.  Good thing with the hash rate is that we can solve them faster and move onto the next! 


MINE ON WITH KANO-SAN!

AND EVEN MORE COUPONS, which keep getting bigger. Sheesh. 
Really don't like the games they play. 

.092% here, that's about "normal" for me. 

My invalids are down 4% from this morning! Just saying.....

You're all wrong... Earth is flat. Ha!

Here is the answer I was kind of looking for...  well, it could of been simplified... :-)


"You might think that the width of the equator is zero, which it is at any given instant. Averaged over time, however, it is about 9 metres because that is the variation of the ‘Chandler wobble’, which is a slight oscillation in the Earth’s spin axis. This is thought to be mainly caused by differential seasonal air pressures which piles the ocean up in different parts of the planet on a seasonal basis. It is possible that some of the Chandler wobble could be caused by slight differential rotation between the Earth’s core and mantle. Plate tectonics may also have a contributory effect."

I Go to sleep now, and expect a Block when I wake up.   IN MY NAME!!!   Oh that would be so funny if I found a block......  Crossing fingers....

I dont qualify but I'll answer anyway because im an astronomy nerd, it's 7926 miles in diameter, it also has a greatest distance around the world because it's pretty much bulging out at the equator because of the earths rotation, like if you were to spin a water balloon while holding onto the tie it will grow in size around what could be it's equator (the balloon that is).

It's actually getting less over the years because the earth is slowing very slowly, I heard that millions of years ago days were actually what we would consider 20 hours instead of the 24 we have now.

I picked me up a Celestron NexStar 102 SLT a few months ago and where im at we have pretty low light pollution so I can get some decent photos with the Canon.
