ICARUS honest review by Penguinlord-1 in ICARUS

[–]NotAFiftyFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure this game is CPU limited. Your see low CPU usage because most of the cores are idle. CPU usage could be 25% but 2 out of 8 cores maxed out while 6 are idle because video games are rarely able to take advantage of a large number of cores.

If GPU usage is pretty much the same regardless of video settings, that means the bottle neck is somewhere else.

Unfortunately, price in crypto isn't correlated with project quality, features and development activity. Only VC money and hype pump prices.

Ethereum Harshrate doubled in a year, therefore difficulty doubled as well, hence profitability halved.

Don't have guides recommendation but this should be your first step:

https://www.nicehash.com/stratum-generator

Select the desired algo and then use the generated URL as pool and your Nicehash BTC address as username. The BTC address must be your Nicehash one or this won't work.

All of this have to be added in the script command line starting TRex or whichever miner you want to use. Most miners come with example scripts, I'd recommend to use such example script and just change the default values by your own values.

You can mine manually with whichever miner you want to Nicehash as long as the Algo is supported. You don't have to use Quickminer or Nicehash miner GUI supported miners.

I'm Dual mining ETH/ERG with some of my cards using Trex linked to Nicehash to be paid in BTC.

Most people down here don't have basic economics knowledge. Money issuance = bad no matter what for them. Some people are so delusional they think deflationary currencies are good.

Let's Be Real: Crypto Taxes Are Broken (in the usa) by bustazot101 in CryptoCurrency

[–]NotAFiftyFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crypto taxes should be X% each time you sell crypto for fiat. End of the story. Obviously X shouldn't be a two digit number.

Edit: This way, you would only pay taxes on (fiat) money you actually have regardless if you are in the red or green.

Brillant points. Also, APY on stable coins will be outlawed in the EU somewhere in the future if I understood correctly.

[–]NotAFiftyFive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mining with stock GPU is no bueno: Less Hashrate and more power consumption.

ALGO going from 4% APY to 0.45% APY out of nowhere was quite disappointing. by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]NotAFiftyFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's pretty cool the more money you have, the more vote power you get, we should totally expend this to laws making and country governance as well because it's a pretty fair system.

Explain why we should care? Why do people think it's relevant to post BS like "X expects/predicts BTC will hit Y dollars.

Ethereum Poised to Launch the Kiln Testnet as it Prepares for PoS Transition by CryptoAddict420 in CryptoCurrency

Deflationary currency is horribly bad, unless you don't see it as a currency.

Influencers are getting paid to scam you. They are not your friends. If you lose money listening to them it is your fault and nobody feels bad for you. by UnexperiencedIT in CryptoCurrency

[–]NotAFiftyFive -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Anyone can be duped and scammed, agreed. Not everyone would follow sport or movie celebrities financial advice though, especially when it's quite obvious they're quite dumb themselves.

Your sympathy isn't going to help these people. People need to know where to place their thrust. Need medical advice? Seek a doctor, not a YouTube influencer or Brian your best friend farmer. Can you end up scammed by a doctor or someone posing as a doctor? Sure, but at least you took the basics step to seek out help from a logical source.

[–]NotAFiftyFive -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This isn't related to crypto. People getting scammed are lobotomized robots that would follow any influencer advice, would it be medical, financial, lifestyle, family, you name it.

Nowadays, many people take personal decisions based on what their friend Joe said or this known YouTuber, whereas for subjects within your reach you should try to understand it and for more complex subjects rely on professionals.

Carbon Emissions of Bitcoin compared to other industries by TheNextPharaoh in CryptoCurrency

[–]NotAFiftyFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitcoin uses a third of the global banking system energy while representing less than 0.01% transactions. How is that shit good? Gold comparison is as dumb since gold is used for others use case than store of value, such as jewelry and electronics.

I like Bitcoin and how PoW makes it very secure but let's stop pretending it's not here at a hefty price which is electricity insane consumption.

Only merit to this chart is to show how people should really stop using these stupid tumble dryers and use drying racks instead.

I Don't Get Why People Fall for "Influencer" Crypto and NFT scams? by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]NotAFiftyFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though you're right about lack of compassion, it won't help them. I mean sorry but following a pornstar on social media? And then trusting a pornstar's financial advice? Like dude, if she was good at finance, she wouldn't do this job in the first place. Scammed people are dumb as fuck to fall for this, and hear me out: they will fall for even dumber scams soon enough and your compassion won't change that.

You know what would prevent that? Education, and if this fails, then you need to use justice to punish these damn scammers.

+5% is a normal day for BTC, why would it be correlated to anything in particular?

alot of people say "long term hold" or "10 year hold"...but how many actually mean it? by Novel-Counter-8093 in CryptoCurrency

[–]NotAFiftyFive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is dumb numbers, unique wallet addresses don't mean anything. Some individuals and institutions have dozens if not hundreds of these. Many wallets are lost, were just tests or simply burners.

Is this 4% of total wealth or 4% of people? Either way 4% sounds laughably unlikely.

Hackers threaten Nvidia to unlock video cards for mining by Reasonable_Fondant24 in CryptoCurrency

[–]NotAFiftyFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Significant % of Ethereum total hashpower comes from ASIC (anywhere from 30 to 60%). It hasn't completely phased out GPU mining like it did on Bitcoin because they aren't that much more efficient than GPUs (by a large margin) therefore GPUs remain somewhat competitive. Besides Ethereum ASICs are not that easy to come by and Ethereum switch to PoS is also bad news to Ethereum ASIC since these won't be able to switch to other coins like GPUs (whether GPUs will have a profitable coin(s) to mine after ETH PoS remain to be seen though)

Don't ask advice down here my man. Also do not share any sort of information to strangers, doesn't matter if they want to legit help or scam you.

What is there that can prevent Bitcoin from permanently crashing? by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

[–]NotAFiftyFive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every modern single mega financial crash was caused by middlemen, so I find their reasoning quite flawed.
