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!

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)

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.

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.
