    Sold out now, but I feel like something like this is sorta what I'm looking for with my idea...only with two+ more graphics cards added in (provided it has room for that), with all of them mining.

    Desktop Computers

    Maybe this belongs in the crypto thread, not sure. If there's a better thread to ask these questions let me know. I'd like to put together a dedicated crypto mining rig, a computer that I only use for that and nothing else. I've got 3 laptops (new for 2020, 2017, 2016) that I could mine with...

    It was an experiment, a gamble on the off chance that we had a weekend dip which I was sure we would. I just looked at my numbers and I have 521 more VET than I did before the experiment, whatever that's currently worth (again, I'm not looking at the numbers for a bit, taking a break). If it...

    Because the amount changes every second? After finishing the transaction I had the exact same amount, $1000. I won't know how much I "made" until VET goes back to where it was when I sold. It probably has already, haven't been looking, taking a hands-off this week and doing other things. Doing...

    Come to think of it, 2-3 AM EST are 9 AM in France/Germany time and London time respectively. Which means, you guessed it, it's when the African stock market is waking up.

    I can definitely say that weird stuff happens in the middle of the night with crypto. I've seen some huge spikes at 2 AM - 3 AM EST. Also seems to reliably spike Monday and Tuesday mornings between 9 AM and 10 AM. Other than that, I don't know.

    @Aaron I can echo these, especially #4. Hovering over the charts pretty much guarantees that you're going to cash out prematurely or try to swing trade. Swing trades can be lucrative but they haven't done much for me and are extremely luck-reliant. Just leave the charts alone. I'll add a #5 -...

    It's Saturday night, you know what that means. I bought $1000 of VET at .177 after selling at .195 on Friday. Did I make anything overall? Probably a pretty meager amount. But when it gets back to .22 (buy-in average) I should have a little more than I started with. At least it worked out in...

    These graphs are mind-blowing. Even though I already knew a lot of it, it's still mind-blowing to see it illustrated so effectively in a group of charts. I was told for years that the productivity/profits/cost of living versus income divide started under Reagan, but 1971 ain't Reagan. This goes...

    On the other hand, I'm the guy who came into the thread knowing nothing, and I still know nothing Edit: Not putting down the thread, I've actually learned a LOT from these threads, so much as I'm putting down myself for still making a fair amount of mistakes

    When it was in the high 19's earlier I took a fraction of my VET and did the sell-to-buy-later-in-the-weekend thing, mainly as an experiment more than anything else. We'll see if it results in anything. Since it's a fraction it won't really matter either way, just a curiosity to see if I can...

    Binance if it's allowed in that state. Coinbase Pro is said to have better fees. Neither should be too tough to set up if they're available. I was pretty lucky to be able to get Binance in my state.

    I would advise anybody to not use Coinbase. The fees are unreal and cost me a few hundred over the couple of months that I used it. Find a platform that won't fee you to death.

    So say I don't sell at a loss, say we get a brief spike to .22 and I sell $1000 of VET there at essentially neutral baseline. Then I wait for this weekend and buy it back at .16. Putting aside whatever small fees add up to, my new $1000 investment should be worth about $1250 when it gets back to...

    Not really on Binance. I don't know the specific numbers but it's very low, single-digit dollars for me. On Coinbase, fees for the same transactions would have been in the $40-50 range, so...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    You're making a logical point here. I already compounded my loss a bit (though I don't see it that way) by buying more once it fell to .19 (only to see it keep going). This is a very tricky game to navigate for people who can't see the future, since there isn't a lot of rhyme or reason to these...

    The Loss-Pron Thread

    This should be a fun thread. Well, not fun for the people posting on it. "Perpetually adjusting and watching costs like a hawk" + setting limit orders on when you buy and sell seem to be the plays. Would have saved me a lot of money to use those functions more. I've pretty much had the worst...

    Bloodborne

    Didn't know that, that's good to know for the remaster so I won't have to do the Chalice dungeons on NG. I'd prefer to do them on NG++ or so and have it be the last trophy I get. Actually explains why I got rolled by some Chalice bosses, if they're intended to be a challenge throughout + games too.

    On paper it doesn't look like a good idea, but I think there's a very strong chance we'll see both A) An upswing this evening and B) A downswing over the weekend, probably late Saturday night. Seeing .13 wouldn't actually shock me, but I hope not. Or to put it another way, if I get close to a...

    I'm still salty about losing $100 on Doge when I got it during the last big spike ("big" compared to now). Immediately dropped 20% and sat there for months until I gave up on it. People told me to keep it and I laughed at their joke currency. I think it'll hit $1 almost for certain. Seems like...

    Even though my buy-in average is .22 I'm considering selling tonight if it reaches .21 and then rebuying it over the weekend during whatever customary weekend mini-crash happens. Hopefully the result = more than I started with (i.e. buy at .16 or .17).

    Bloodborne

    Yeah, the Chalice dungeons may as well be a separate game. When I was platinuming Bloodborne I would say I spent about as much time in Chalice dungeons as I did in the rest of the game combined. They're kind of dull and mundane appearance-wise but you can fight tons upon tons of optional bosses...

    Yeah, it's rough. I hope this ends up being like MANA where it waffled between the teens and .20's for a while with similar dips and movement before eventually leaving that in the dust and establishing a new floor of about .90. Way I see it is, if VET stays low it'll give people more chances to...

    Too bad I didn't see this until now. I've got an extra Purple, brand-new in the case, that I got last April or so and could have sold you at a discount. I assume the issue has been solved by now though. As for anyone else asking these questions, I strongly recommend Purple myself. I went...

    Dark Souls

    A couple questions about classes: -Any interesting build suggestions for Souls 1 Remastered? I want to play a melee character that also has spells, but I don't want to go with Sorcerer (I usually end up making a Battlemage-type sorcery/melee hybrid character and those are very OP). Feels like...

    Yeah, the pain is real. Weeks of wishing I could have gotten into VET pre-.20 thinking that was firmly in the rear-view mirror, buy-ins at an average of probably .22, and now I'm sitting here with nothing else to invest now that it IS pre-.20. Especially painful considering my last big buy-in...

    Bloodborne

    People always go "wot mate, why you haven't played DkS3". Soulsborne is my favorite series and I can only play them for the first time once. 3 is the only one left that I haven't played. And considering how much mileage I've gotten out of the others, I haven't needed to even move on from them...

    The Xenoblade Chronicles Appreciation/Anticipation thread! 3DS/Wi U - YES

    I had the same issue with Xenoblade 1. I liked the game and the characters a lot, but there were a few points especially late in the game where I had to grind with enemies that were barely worth grinding. Really slowed the game down. The first time I remember that happening was the claw guy out...

    When I played SOTFS on PS4 I remember weapons breaking constantly. This was very soon after release. Anyway I just finished Bloodborne again and am gonna replay Souls 2 and Souls 1 in the next month or so (probably in that order since it's the original order I played them in). I'm doing...

    Bloodborne

    Finished the gun-only run, took about 18 hours. That was super fun. Ammo conservation was the main thing. Had to use lots and lots of blood bullets, and I couldn't use melee attacks to recoup health lost from making them like you normally can. The second half of the game was much, much easier...

    Once I took my mom to see one of the Hobbit movies, first time in ages we'd gone to a movie and I was really looking forward to it even if those movies aren't great. Well, we had 3 teenagers a couple rows behind us who just wouldn't shut up. After a few minutes of this I stood up and shushed...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    I mentioned it above already I think: The main reason people liked Garden State at the time was the soundtrack. It's a very nostalgic movie for that reason, even if it isn't very good. Black Swan was tremendous. Like a sexy version of Fight Club where the main character is female instead. Also...

    Yeah, I'd like to have Eth and VET both, maybe 50/50, and see what happens over five years. Though right now I only have the funds to have a decent investment in one or the other. Like I mentioned before, if we get a big VET spike I'll take some out and put it in Eth so that I'm not running on...

    Yeah, rough day for me spending literally $2300 on it at .22 and then $500 at .19, not house money at all, totally my last crypto-available funds for the moment, and then seeing it go to .15. Not because I'm down on money, but because I could have gotten SO MUCH MORE if I'd happened to get on...
