    I discovered a new superior highly complex number. 2^34 × 3^4 × 31^9 has 1,488 factors. Therefore, it is a new superior highly composite number surpassing the previously known high…

    No Facebook/Meta? That’s a little surprising to me.

    My ASICs mine Bitcoin directly, while my GPUs mine Ethereum but I'm paid in Bitcoin, which is a function of NiceHash. More often than not mining Ethereum directly using something l…

    Oh I’m sure I’ve spent a non-trivial amount of time total on maintenance, trial and error, watching videos, reading, etc. The thing is it’s my hobby, I have fun doing that stuff. I…

    Mining ERGO and RVN are profitable also!

    You are grossly overestimating the depreciation of mining hardware. It’s pretty common to have well maintained mining rigs and farms that last several years. Also, it’s a common st…

    In the world of cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency mining you really have to wade through the mounds of sh%# and scammers. In terms of trustworthy sources here are a few trusted You…

    I left it running while on vacation for a week recently, I was incredibly paranoid the entire time and I probably wouldn’t do that again.

    I started small, let things pay for themselves before buying more. My initial investment was about $10,000, and that was just for a handful of GPUs, some parts like motherboards an…

    That’s the plan! But I’m already at 80% maxed out on a 30A 240V breaker. Sure I could add more breakers, but I really don’t want to turn my basement into an industrial mining zone …

    The catch is you need to be safe: - Where is the heat going? Are you exhausting it out the window? Are you going to burn your house down? - How are you distributing power? Are you …

    Bitcoin is highly divisible. When I say $100/day what I really mean is something around 0.0016 BTC per day. This number fluctuates a lot so it’s best to look at the average over a …

    You could say I’m “wasting energy” for “monopoly money”, but that monopoly money gets converted to fiat dollars, which I use to pay taxes and feed my family passively while I’m at …

    I would personally aim for non-LHR cards like the founders edition 3080 which is hard to find these days, or any 3090. At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter what cards you…

    Pretty typical $0.1/kWH (on average, there are peaks and valleys like everywhere else). A lot of folks overestimate the actual power cost. Sure I’m pulling about 24A at 240V from t…

    I mine cryptocurrency and make about $110/day. I have two L3++s, an AvalonMiner 1246, six RTX 3080s, an RTX 3090 and a couple older cards. It more than pays for the mortgage, and a…

    I understand the appeal of rendering websites on the serverside, in their entirety (HTML and CSS), before the response is returned to the user's browser, which is what would need t…

    I would argue JS is a lot faster than you think, and the sluggishness you feel is due to the massive number of files being downloaded. Dozens of JS libraries (think jQuery, Bootstr…

    Legibility of text on a reflective surface (i.e.: license plate) and the eye strain caused by staring at a light emitting screen don't necessarily relate. You can still have a suff…
