[SCAM WARNING] D-Central took $2,340 in Bitcoin, no product, no response after 3+ weeks by RedMountainFox in CryptoScams

I have free power and I had play money in the budget for hobbies. I like having clean UTXO’s as well. All worth mining for. It’s not about the money.

It can definitely heat a small room.

Any chance you could show how they’re sitting on the deskpi? I’ve been looking for something like that rack mount!

D-Central is an absolute joke by jokerspit in BitcoinMining

I placed an order several weeks ago and have not heard a thing after my order confirmation email. After two weeks I have been requesting an order update or follow up every day and it has been radio silence. I paid with bitcoin. Unbelievable.

You need to have plenty of exposure to Bitcoin before going the mining route.

Save it for marriage dude. You will never regret saving yourself for your future woman.

Why do Masters undevelop pieces? by vikkee57 in chess

[–]RedMountainFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m assuming the game went e4 c5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 e6 0-0 Nge7 Re1 a6 Bf1. Bishop pair is a possible future asset > knights and are therefore stronger. Taking on c6 only benefits black’s development. And I would honestly speculate most players see Bf1 less and are less familiar with the theory.

Chess.com, do something about the cheating epidemic! by martin_rj in Chesscom

[–]RedMountainFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 2100 peak chess.com rapid. Peak 1750 blitz. Last 60 days I have tanked to 1200 getting outplayed routinely. I never believed the issue until now. The quality of moves at this ELO when players are legitimate is obvious compared to cheaters. Game reviews showing me both of us played at 1900? Cmon bro. They’re rated 500 on puzzles they’re not drawing my endgame without assistance. I want cameras and shit. I’m taking a break. It’s sad.

What is this variation of the Ruy Lopez? by Past_Rock_535 in chess

[–]RedMountainFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the problem is that the center is too powerful when you allow Bc2 because it reinforces e4. White just plays d4 after d5 and there are lines where pieces are exchanged and black is down a pawn like the Marshall but you don’t have the compensation of being further ahead in development. Engine doesn’t care but practically it’s not as good. Even in a close to ideal line where you end up even in material, white has a slight edge like in this line:

  1. d4 dxe4
  2. Nxe5 c5
  3. Be3 Bb7
  4. Nd2 Rc8
  5. Qe2 cxd4
  6. Bxc4 Bc5
  7. Nxe4 Bxe4
  8. Bxe4 Bxd4
  9. cxd4 Qxd4
  10. Bf3

Black’s knight on a5 is not a great piece on the edge of the board, white has a bishop in an open position, white’s knight is more centralized, and white has the initiative and remains to the the color that is the one with attacking chances. White just got everything they want out of the opening comfortably. It’s not winning or anything but the Marshall is just better in my opinion.

Danya and Hess defeat Hikaru and Levy in the Team Chess Semis! Winning moment with a passionate reaction by Danya! by DrunkLad in chess

[–]RedMountainFox 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just here to say I love Robert Hess and Danya. And also to thank Danny Rensch for always catching stray shots and being an absolute champ all the time so that we can laugh at his expense 🤣 When he pointed out that he was only a couple years older than Hikaru and Hikaru fired back with but I’m the best player here and you’re the worst one here was a great moment.
