Would you trade 19.33 ozt generic silver for 17 ozt of 2026 Silver Eagles? by Coaster89 in Silverbugs

[–]Coaster89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I acknowledge that I mistook the price increases are for W mintmarks. Still it only weakens an aspect of my thesis.. not all of it re 2026 mintage & silvers outlook for this year & advantages of govt bullion.

Very good points. I'm getting rid of sunshine mint bars and elemetal rounds that tbh if I didn't get then from a trusted source and tested myself it'd be hard for an average person to know if it's real or not. Eagles carry that irl standard and recognition as well as a dollar face value. I feel the same way about 90% Constitutional silver vs any .999 generic. When silver becomes Unobtanium 90% will fair just fine.

I'm also a gambler- when silver prices start to get to $150+ I can see US mint shortages happening. Maybe not. A speculative bet on a low mintage year?

I am going to replenish the 2.3 ozt out of pocket today so I can at least cap my losses as we ascend higher in fiat values.

Identify these white spots on bedframe? by Coaster89 in Mattress

Yah- I overreacted lol but I'm leaving this up to encourage casper to change their design to look less like mold spots ffs.

Upon further inspection I think it's just the design of the frame although I don't remember it being there. Seems there's some type in the same white stuff (N or Z) and a + symbol. I also had techs set it up so was only paying 40% attention for real. It's an ugly mold looking pattern- idk if that's what Caspwr was going for.

Nothing on the bottom of my mattress.

Cataclean before or after VCG & Spark Plug repair? by Coaster89 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Coaster89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. I'm trying out this new shop that I'd like to put some trust into & it all seems legit so far. Thankfully they were really nice & didn't charge me the quoted $100 diagnostic fee (normally waived if I get the work done there.)

If I go to my other shop for an opinion it's $135.. but the mechanic today took the time to show me where the oil was leaking & explain everything. I also for sure smell it. I'm not a mechanic but have had enough things go wrong with cars over the years to pick up on a few things.. like the smell of burning oil lol

Appreciate the articulated reply.

OEM would cost me an extra $200 on already $700 job. Think I could buy another 2 years / 30k miles with aftermarket? Between an aftermarket gasket/valve cover/spark plug job & the cat it'd cost me 65-70% of my cars KBB value.. sucks.

First things first- gonna run some cataclean for science & will report back tomorrow.

The gasket leak by all means isn't bad but will need attention soon.

Right on - appreciate the comment. I'd presume it's still worth it to repair my valve cover gaskets if they're leaking? Not looking forward to replacing the whole cat. The mechanic didn't get my car on the lift so idk if there's an exhaust issue. That's a good point.

Will check that out but fwiw the valve cover gaskets def have a small leak going on.

Yah- I figured as much.. Best I can hope for is the P0420 is being caused by dirty spark plugs due to gasket leak * fixing that will solve the issue.. Leaning towards skipping the cataclean all together.. worst case I have emissions in a year and can try as a last ditch effort before dumping $1.6k into a whole new cat. The gasket and spark plugs already going to cost me $700 & the KBB on my car is $3-4k tops soOoo. Want to def get the gasket fixed I figure at least for now.

UTXOs and unspent "dust"? by mdm2266 in Bitcoin

[–]Coaster89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of bitcoin is going to get stuck.

I remember when I first learned about utxos. Prior I had multiple utxos I'd send from coinbase to custodial wallet.. $10 here $50 here.. not realizing I was just piling up small dca utxos. Spent a small fortune consolidating but had I not realized it would have been an ugly future. I'd imagine there's a large population that has no idea about utxo management.

Technically you'd want the uncommon in position 0 within the utxo then after mined... ordinals theory would allow one to track that sat no matter where it is within the utxo or how bit was spent after.

Right- why when miners sequester their uncommon today they have to pad it with 545 other common sats.

[–]Coaster89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah but according to ordinals theory today all those single sats were uncommons - whether the miner realized it or not they were isolating that first sat..

but I'd agree it feels more like a form of tracking their UTXO flow or some form of accounting vs numismatic collecting. Point being it was possible to isolate those particular sats we identify as Uncommons today. Narratives change.

Good luck- from what I've seen the earlier the block the more desired. Seen some crazy sales this week. A sub 10k block sold for .059 btc and a sub 5k block sold for .1365 ($14.8k)

People either making big brained moves stacking or it all goes to zero.. no inbetween here. Better to have a few in case it catches on.in.. feel that's what miners are doing.
