Questions from Intrigued & Potential Miner

I'm sure your subreddit gets newbies asking questions about mining. I've been considering starting a rig for half a year now. There are some doubts in my mind about starting up a miner. The first one is that they're loud, the home I have is small and I have animals. The second is, I have a laptop (Intel Core i7), I'm frugal, and I've heard miners go up to $300 - $5,000. My goal is if I do act on it would be to join a mining pool to start a passive income.

Getting more and more BTC - besides DCA as a method?

I'm wondering on the best strategy to acquire more and more BTC besides the weekly / monthly DCA method? Like exchanging different alt coins (LTC, ETH) to BTC when the exchange rate changes in our favor? Or is does not make sense as the gains are minimal and I'm better off with simple DCA?

Thanks!

Kraken's The Great Debate Bitcoin & Intrinsic Value

Besides the white paper from Bitcoin, I haven't read anything like this for a long timeThe Dabate via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3cGONPK

I've failed... My dreams of confirming a low fee TXN won't come true this month.

For a bit of fun, I created a low fee TXN (493 s/kB) to see if pool would confirm below 1000 s/kB. Seems the answer is usually "very very unlikely". My economic game theory went something like this...Given the option to mine no TXNs or to mine TXNs below 1000 s/kB, miners would always choose anything over nothingThe cost of including a TXN, is practical nothing in comparison to the cost of hashing a block. The TXNs are just included in the root of the block header, so not really a heavy expense. Perhaps I'm overthinking it. Maybe most miners just use the default settings and don't waste a moments thought on anything beyond it. Maybe there is an economic factor I'm missing.Ohh well. At least PR #13990 is staying active... Guess I'm just impatient. via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/30isUl5

Bitcoin and tax evasion?

Hello reddit,Before you rip me apart, please understand I am just beginning to learn bitcoin. I admit that the entire concept has really grasped me.My question is one of legit curiosity. Not trying to stir up trouble or say bitcoin is good or bad.But basically, if I have bit coin as currency.. what’s to force me to pay taxes? The government would never know how much money I have more how much I’m spending. Wouldn’t this make it really easy to avoid taxes?I understand that if btc were an actual currency that was provided by w2 income then obviously it would be reported to the irs. So this question doesn’t really apply to the potential future of bitcoin.What I am talking about the immediate future. Say somebody makes $100k on a bitcoin investment. Sure if they converted to fiat and suddenly made a $100k investment that would set off alarms, but what if they made small deposits as needed. Just a few grand here or there.I am not promoting breaking the law. I am just curious how bitcoin people reconcile this. I have a very high w2 income and I pay my taxes. Not gonna lie though, when nearly half my income goes to Uncle Sam it hurts! And I imagine that if there were a simple and u traceable way to avoid that I’m sure a lot of people would struggle with that temptation.Any thoughts are appreciated! via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/2S8PtUz

What is the path of least resistance to create a small store that accepts crypto? (BTCPayServer woes)

I tried to set up a store for stickers and stuff like that over the weekend, that could accept Bitcoin. I thought BTCPay Server would be easy, but this was my experience:

1) I've heard BTCPay Jungle is easy and good, I go to their website and it is only configured for the site owner and no obvious way to create an account, I guess it shut down?

2) I head to the BTCPayServer docs to find other third party hosts and find this list. I try about five most have the same problem as #1. One does allow me to sign up but won't let me continue without verifying my email. Unfortunately they never send the email to confirm.

3) I try to set something up in Google Cloud with the docs which links to this Github README which has a broken link to a YouTube video. Also the instructions do not work after trying them as is.

Isn't this the project sponsored by Square? Am I an idiot that I can't get this to work or is it just broken? I'm willing to try again and even go so far as to set it up on my own Raspberry Pi but given the investment of money and time and my experience so far I don't want to do that only to find out it does not work.

TLDR: do you know how anyone has set up a store that accepts crypto and how did they do it? (I prefer to accept Bitcoin)

Thank you community for your memes and help. HODL and all that stuff.

Getting more and more BTC - besides DCA as a method?

Considering cashing out every other investment and going all in on Crypto. How stupid is this?

I know this is generally thought of to be stupid, but with the way things are going I have zero faith in any government backed anything right now, including real estate and the obvious things like stocks. The only exception is commodities and metals. Which would be the other 20% of my port just as a hedge.It seems like with the way things are going hyper inflation is on the horizon, and I have been researching the global economic forum and everything is heading toward the blockchain anyways.It seems to me bitcoin is almost in that "too big to fail" place, because it's used worldwide and even if every country unanimously comes together and bans it I don't even know how this could or would be enforced.Am I crazy for thinking this?Additionally, are there other complete doom scenarios that could take bitcoin down? I'm primarily talking about bitcoin here since almost all coins are directly tied to it, but my portfolio would consist of a variety of coins.What are your thoughts? Am I missing anything? I realize I'll get some very biased answers but hoping some people here have thought through the potential long term downsides. I'm only investing money that won't change my lifestyle.Thanks in advance. via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/33a6cgL

What to do with 4GB cards in 2020

Everyone who mines Ethereum and Ethereum Classic on 4GB cards is aware that the DAG file is growing, and after three months it won’t be possible to use the existing equipment. What can be done? There are three main options:

sell all obsolete equipment now and buy new;
mine until the end, while you still have this opportunity, and buy new cards later;
mine until the end and switch to another coin from ETH when the cards stop working.

Everyone decides for themselves which path they want to take, and we’ll do some math and calculate how much we’re talking about for each of these opportunities.

Sell now and buy a new fleet

So, you decide to get rid of rapidly aging equipment and acquire a new fleet. According to information from the Internet, we can conclude that 50 new cards will cost about $10,500 - $11,500. If you sell your old cards for $4,000 - $5,000, then the volume of investments in the project “I continue to mine Ether profitably” will be about $6,500. And the payback period will be about 6-8 months.

Mine till the end and change cards for new ones later

Perhaps this is the riskiest option of all, since there is a high probability that the cost of cards will increase at a time when it will no longer be possible to mine Ether on 4GB, and everyone start urgently switching to 6-8GB cards. It’s unlikely that you would be able to sell your old cards for more than $30-$50, so for 50 outdated cards, you will get about $2,000-$2,500. The investment in the new fleet would require at least $10,000, and considering that the prices are increasing, it may exceed $13,000.

Mine till the end and switch to another coin

And finally, the third possible solution. It also suggests using 4GB cards as long as there is a resource and on the most profitable pool. For example, you can join our CoinFly pool that offers +10% to everything that you’ve mined until the end of September.

Then you can simply switch to another promising coin, for example, Metaverse, Quarkchain, Callisto, Ravencoin, Beam, ZANO, Haven protocol.

Instead of worrying about BTC's price. Research the technology, be updated about the economy, and enhance your online security

That's what I'm doing, at least.

Just develop the hobby of googling a plain "bitcoin" to be updated about its current news. I enjoy reading the bullshit section of economy in WSJ. I basically believe the opposite of anything they're saying. Like a recent article claiming full recovery at the the end of 2020. What kind of a vaccine that is so powerful to end a worldwide crisis in 3 months.

Anyways, for online security I suggest:

- Yubikey with Binance and Google accounts. (Both support U2F, physical touch to log in, users have never been phished)

- Trezor one for Bitcoin storage

- ColdTi for Titanium-engraved recovery phrase storage

All three cost $99. It's the optimal security to date. Protect you from both digital theft and environmental crises.

Note: Be careful what chrome extensions you install. Some replace your clipboard and people have reported sending funds to the wrong address.

Question for the People Who Think BTC is Going 10x or More

I understand Im on a BTC forum so the enthusiasm is high, and the recent thread about people who think BTC is all but destined for $100k+, and sooner rather than later (many people saying 2021, few people saying 2030)...

Are you throwing every last available dollar into BTC because if those are you sincere beliefs it pretty much seems foolish not to.

Im bullish on it, dont have a particular date or price in mind but I do think its going up, but 10x in a year, or ever 10 years, would be the best investment game in town by orders of magnitude.

Best fee rate for routing in lightning

I set up many big channels to popular nodes in the network and balanced them so that remote and local capacity are as evenly distributed as possible.

The fee rate of all my channels is the default setting of 1 sat base fee and 1 mSat fee rate.

I see some of my peers have different policies like 0.5 sats base fee and 500mSat fee rate.

I got some decent amount of routing in the past, my node is running ~3 months so far and I got ~750 forwardings in total.

Now I want to increase the amount of routing my node does and I think opening balanced high capacity channels to popular nodes was the first step and now I am wondering about the fee rates and if there is something than can be optimized.

Do you have any tips or experience yourself you can tell me about, maybe any lightning node operators that have already experimented with fee rates?

Edit: I do this as a self experiment to see what yields the best results for my own curiosity, I don't do this to earn any real money.

Best fee rate for routing in lightning

I set up many big channels to popular nodes in the network and balanced them so that remote and local capacity are as evenly distributed as possible.The fee rate of all my channels is the default setting of 1 sat base fee and 1 mSat fee rate.I see some of my peers have different policies like 0.5 sats base fee and 500mSat fee rate.I got some decent amount of routing in the past, my node is running ~3 months so far and I got ~750 forwardings in total.Now I want to increase the amount of routing my node does and I think opening balanced high capacity channels to popular nodes was the first step and now I am wondering about the fee rates and if there is something than can be optimized.Do you have any tips or experience yourself you can tell me about, maybe any lightning node operators that have already experimented with fee rates?Edit: I do this as a self experiment to see what yields the best results for my own curiosity, I don't do this to earn any real money. via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/334vs88

Help me respond to my banker dad’s theory about BTC.

In a long conversation about investing, me and my dad agree that Cryptocurrency will play a significant role in the future’s financial system. My dad acknowledges the power of the tech and has some fascination with smart contract platforms like ETH.But..He argues against buying BTC specifically. His theory is that BTC is fundamentally similar to gold from an economics stand point, yes, but there is nothing specifically special about BTC in the Crypto ecosystem other than the fact that it’s got the first mover advantage. Apparently, BTC is popular only because..it’s popular!Gold is special in its use cases, as it plays a significant role in jewellery, manufacturing and areas that make it physically superior to other metals - But nothing actually makes BTC superior to other cryptocurrencies other than the large number of people that trust the network today. His view is that if BTC was replicated but with slightly better tech (for example, further decentralisation by making entry to mining easier/cheaper), the original BTC will lose in the long run. His view is that BTC is superior today but not tomorrow.Help. via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3mZG2Fw

How to Learn Bitcoin From Command Line

Hello everyone, I've been a long time BTC supporter and I'm wanting to dive deeper and learn Bitcoin from command line. Unfortunately, I have zero programming experience. I know the very basic terms but the only code I've ever written is "hello, world".

Before I start diving into command line I think it's best for me to read guides or watch youtube videos. Can someone help me on where to start? The link below is what popped up on Google but I don't even know where to start on GitHub so I'm quite lost. Any links or videos that can help me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
