Some dumb questions since I don't know a whole lot about crypto. How do you guys safely store large amounts (i.e. thousands, or even tens of thousands,) of crypto? Do you use stuff like Coinbase? Or the private wallets...I understand those hardware wallets are the best for safety? I assume...

3 day trading break for the market, I think a lot of bored people are just ramming it up. I suspect it'll go back down Monday - Tuesday some.

So for shits and giggles I threw another $95 of bitcoin at Nicehash's hash power marketplace. This time I used the "standard" instead of "fixed" option at a bit of a lower price for about 2.5 hours of mining at what appears to be 9 to 10 gigahash / second. The first attempt cost me $100 for...

I’ve never held one closer than 2-3 weeks from merger.

But, HURRR, never sell, hedgies, to the moon, 🚀 🚀 🚀, 💎 🙌, you’re a pussy if you sell. (I’ve seen this shit posted on SPACs social media in the past week.)

UNSURPRISING FAIL. 🤪 It looks like my $100 made me about $62 of Ethereum. It was probably not wise to play it out at unlimited speed. In other news, it would be cool to be mining 10 gh/s on my own! I’m going to try it again for $100 and bot managed.

I’m assuming like 50 cents of power a day based on the kw/h that gminer spits out and what I pay for power. So probably somewhere around $90-85.

My one GPU does 51 mh/s. That was worth $100 in mining about 16-20 hours a day from March 10th to last night. So you’d probably be about on the same track as me. Not bad really for the small amount of power used.

How much money do you expect to make off staking 10 ETH? Let’s just assume for instance ETH got up to $5000 a coin.

Mine is set up as port 2020.

No, you can use your own wallet of course. I am sure any work. If nothing shows up on 2miners within an hour I’d think something is wrong, but I’m no expert.

Hmm. Double check all the info is right, address for 2miners, port, your wallet in gminer, then just give it a bit. It’ll show up if everything is right.

Yeah I’ll post the results later today. Then maybe later I’ll do the rate limited one for the hell of it.

You don’t get paid out until you reach 0.05 ETH in 2miners. They don’t pay you every share. That’s why I was saying earlier I got paid out “for the first time” since March 10th when I decided to give this a go for fun. The $100 in ETH I was paid represents me meeting 0.05 registered in my...

Shares don’t take long. You’ll get one in 15 minutes or less probably and then 2miners will show your progress.

I'm trying out something for a gamble / fun. Nicehash hash power marketplace. From what I've read generally a crapshoot where you lose your money, but some days you can make money. Many factors at play, and they even have a bot for it that I'm not using. I just bought $100 in bitcoin worth...

That was all from gminer using 2miners pool.

I would almost guarantee this has been said already.

Just got paid out for the first time mining Eth since March 10th. Not bad for one part time video card!

Hopefully the stock doesn’t stink as much as they do as an airline.

Woulda coulda shoulda. I was so close to throwing $10k into MVIS yesterday. 🤪

Can't resist cool bullion knickknacks at the local coin store. David Bowie 2 pound coin. Queen's Beasts White Greyhound of Richmond, 5 pound coin Queen's Beasts White Horse of Hanover 5 pound coin Australian 1 dollar rectangular dragon. Queen's Dragon? Ha. I love these 2...

Gold in the 1600s, silver nearing $23. I just want two more ounces of gold and I’m done with that. I want my full ounce Gold Eagle and an ounce Maple. Silver I’ll just buy cool stuff as I see it not particularly for investment reasons but more for fun.

I’m in the same boat. Even with this downturn I’ve lost no amount of money worth speaking of as I’ve never bought SPACs far above NAV. Patiently waiting for things to go back up. Interesting theory on that!

So how about them SPAC and IPO ideas. 🤪

L For what it’s worth, every time I’ve dealt with Fidelity, I’ve never been on with a non-American rep. Always fully English speaking folks with no accent. Only cons I’d have is they usually take 1-2+ hours to call you back but I can deal with that.

Yep, was just about to post this. Like you said with it being April already, meh. This market is boring. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-29/ackman-says-spac-will-likely-miss-first-quarter-target-for-deal

Lemme guess, was it drawn by LGBTQ people of color?

My experience bar is inching ever closer to "leveling up" with a 0.05 payout! Up to $63 and change from my part time 1 GPU mining since March 10th.

I’ve said it before, but market related Reddit and other social media, especially after GME, has went way down the shitter from the shitpool it already was. Hopium? Fuck, I don’t think that’s enough to describe it. What’s the next level of hopium? For some god awful reason these Gen-Z fucks...

Oh dang, didn’t even see it spiked that high.

CPUH up to $10.25 at the moment, from a low of $9.94 this week ($9.92?) Split is Monday...we shall see how commons being available on many more platforms affects it.

So I finally was about to buy these...BrokerageLink won't let me buy any of them. Not even FTEC! "Your self-directed Brokerage account is ineligible for this type of security." The fuck. I can't even buy a Fidelity ETF. This shit must be limited only to funds I guess...I'll maybe try...

Oh got it. I heard about the Shaq SPAC but didn’t even remember that being the one.

What the hell. I’ve never even heard of BOWX and I read about SPACs daily.

Cash + local makes the most sense. I view premiums simply as the price of playing, at any rate. Long as they’re not too absurd. I do dislike the fact the online places charge $100 more for simply using credit. Local coin shops don’t always do that. I want my sweet points, those fuckers paid...

Oh man, if I were dumb / ballsy enough to have played all these dips and raises in GME / AMC.

More silver! Just purchased slightly above spot locally. My local dealer gets these commonwealth coins in, in fairly small amounts, so I've been grabbing one of each. The Brits and Aussies make a damn fine coin. All with Liz's shining face. Australian $1 Kookaburra Australian $1...

My 401k is still sitting in Fidelity cash. 😬 I don’t even know what the best time to buy back in at this point is. Glad I didn’t last week.
