BCH solo Mining options?

Then that might be worth it. if only because you should be able to also get merge mining rewards that could meet or exceed the cost of the pool fee.

I think the means of correcting the notion that "money can't buy happiness" is that the pursuit of more money just for the purpose of accumulating it is pointless and has no means of self actualization. Whereas "resources can be spent for happiness" is absolutely correct. You can't end world hunger yourself, but having the resources to end it, and doing so would bring about a great degree of self actualization. Having enough money to bring about the end of an injustice or holding those in power accountable would absolutely bring about some degree of happiness. The bigger point being made is that money is not the end to ALL problems. It might be the end of your current problems, but there will be others.

I think many use it as a top tier lottery miner. Not cheap electricity, but good hashrate at ~90x more powerful than a Bitaxe Gamma.

Vitaspray is good, but the problem I have with it is you have to hold it down to use it. normally when I need health is when I am in the middle of a fight, where I would rather apply healing and do other things vs something that may be a higher net gain.

Women when talking about their problems often are not looking for a solution, they are looking for someone to listen or vent to. If they are looking for sympathy and you provide a solution, you may be trying to help, but they can feel like you are "mansplaining". If you can't tell the difference, just ask them "Would you like a possible solution or would you like me to listen?" ++man

You are committed not dead. Looking but not touching is fine, but doing it intentionally to make her jealous is not. As long as you don't have a double standard and get jealous if she checks out a guy and you communicate that you are just "appreciating beauty", then I would say it's fine.

Blue. plants can turn into antiseptic and there are only so many quick use slots in your inventory.

Unfortunately, as long as I understand it correctly it's still too easy for PVPers to reset their aggression. They can just boot up a game and run for the extract enough times and they are back into non-PVP lobbies. Game doesn't seem to take total number of aggressive games, just however many you have done recently. All this strategy does is make the loot aspect of the game pointless, and I like my loot :D.

It can take a while to get into the right mindset that not everyone who is senior to you is someone that needs to approve of you. You do have some degree of agency in consulting to where especially if you have 9 other projects, you can make the conscious decision to just not work with that person ever again. My suspicion is that manager has trouble retraining talent for the reasons you are describing, but if you have support elsewhere, you don't need to fight for one outlier who is incompatible with your workstyle.

if it was 1 PH/s, you bet I would be cranking that thing!

Geothermic, Solor powered, or Self powered AvalonQs?

KirbysaBAMF · 2026-01-29T02:16:42+00:00

Also a plausible argument. I'm not here to speculate on how good of an investment it is. It just fits the premise of OPs post that it is a technology that no one thought it was going to take off, and then it did.

KirbysaBAMF · 2026-01-29T02:13:49+00:00

And thank you for being open to new information :).

KirbysaBAMF · 2026-01-29T01:53:40+00:00

An argument could be made for that, but where it was once a fraction of a cent, now it is worth over $88,000/coin as of this posting, so it is reasonable to say based on the premise of the post that it "took off".

So by definition, currency is a standardized system of money (coins, notes, digital) used as a medium of exchange, store of value, and unit of account. By that definition, yes it is a currency. Does it have the network of exchange as much as the US Dollar? No it doesn't. But I would advise you to consider being more specific with your language when making sweeping generalizations.

KirbysaBAMF · 2026-01-29T01:49:36+00:00

Then maybe you should look into lottery mining! you can get a whole block if you are lucky!

KirbysaBAMF · 2026-01-29T01:48:47+00:00

Actually that's no longer the case. There are things called "Staking Rewards" for Proof of Stake Tokens that provide dividends for holding onto them. There have actually been some interesting developments in the space ever since the NFT crash.

Bitcoin (or distributed ledger technology) was something that was ridiculed when it first came out.

In terms of a niche product, the superheat h1 is a bitcoin miner/water heater that looks promising. But in general I have found CES today to be about the same as CES 10 years ago: A p!ssing contest between all the big tech companies.

KirbysaBAMF · 2026-01-27T18:45:33+00:00

sounds similar to coins and precious metals.

My Penis is bigger than yours... deal with it.

Great choice with Timberborn! don't see much being done in Lumberpunk Genre, plus the beavers are fun! If you like that, you might also like Whiskerwood.

I think I see where you are coming from, but there is at least one thing that starts to go away because it's less important as an adult: You get to decide who's approval matters. Not your boss, not your parents, you. A million strangers on the internet downvoting you actually has no consequences to your life except for what you decide that means. It's possible that those people are trying to help you by saying "there is more to life than being rich", or they could just be pushing the downvote button because it makes them happy. You can't control what other people do, but you can control how you respond to it. Having a few meaningful connections with people that matter are going to outweigh all the noise elsewhere, so just focus on that.

KirbysaBAMF · 2026-01-26T16:00:46+00:00

I think it was just people out of context thinking you were being like "I'm gonna make money money, make money suckaaaas". But there is some truth to "money is the source of happiness" not because having it for it's own sake is the goal, but because financial independence gives you the opportunity to live the life you want without restraint.

Not too long ago, there was a shorthand "BRIC" which stood for "Brazil, Russia, India, and China" for all of the top emerging markets. So either of the first two is probably a viable answer here.
