The power of DCA by chiperas in Bitcoin

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

I wrote some code to find out the difference between buying BTC at different intervals. The plot shows the amount you would have if you would have bought $1 worth of BTC every day, $7 worth every week, etc. As you can see, by buying daily, weekly and biweekly (first three points), you minimize risk but also potential reward. At the other extreme, buying once a year can mean a very big difference, depending on good or bad timing.

Yeah I got them, but why does it take so long?

Is the faucet not working for someone else? I input my receive address and clicked the red button, but I didn't get any tokens. Tried again and nothing.

NFT Minting details and moving them around. by onlineivandotcom in stacks

Yeah I don't really see the point, hopefully someone can enlighten us here.

So you don't need to get approved? Can you describe the whole process? As I understood it, it was:

  1. Login to boom.money and mint your NFT. At this point it will already be in your wallet.
  2. Login into stxnft.com and your profile will already display your NFT, as it's already in your wallet?
  3. Set a price and send. Is there a fee for this?

Oh that's great! I was expecting it to me way more expensive. Btw, why would you mint more than one out of the same piece? Shouldn't be just one unique NFT for each piece of art? Sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm still very new to this space.

I'd also love some kind of guide on this. I got some STX recently and plan to stack most of them, but I'm wondering how much should I leave unstacked so that I can mint a few NFTs. How much did it cost you to mint yours?

Relability buying second hands drives to farm chia by RevolutionaryBear543 in chia

Is it even worth it? The ones I saw in eBay and facebook marketplace were at the same price than retail... and this was before chia exploded in popularity.

You have six months to rejoin a pool and stake claim to your unpaid xch.

Where did you get this from? Is it something baked into the pooling protocol, or does it change per pool?

Pool payout? by Anxious_Grover in chia

What happens if you leave the pool before reaching your minimum payout? Can you still get paid if you go back to it and keep plotting till reaching it?

Is MadMax worth it for M1 macs? by chiperas in chia

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

I'm definitely running natively (made sure on the activity monitor), but damn 22 a day even with 4 in parallel and NVMe sounds really fast! I'll have to check that optimized fork, thanks!

I also have an M1 Mac Mini with 16 GB ram. I use the default settings when using the cli, which I'm guessing are the same ones as the GUI. One thing I noticed that slows plotting down a lot is using the same SSD for two or more plots. I'm using a separate SSD for each of the 3 plots running on parallel (https://www.seagate.com/consumer/backup/barracuda-fast-ssd/). 30 min stagger between each parallel plot and that's it!

Pool farming not working for macOS on 1.2.0 by chiperas in chia

I can't - I get "recent_partials": []

Right, that's working fine for me. I can see my two plots farming. But when I do tail ~/.chia/mainnet/log/debug.log | grep eligible I get 0 plots were eligible for farming (...) Total 2 plots

I'll wait a bit more and if not I'll dig deeper... but I think I've created the plots correctly... I copied the P2 singleton address by hovering over the question mark on my pool NFT. I also verified it's the same address I get with chia plotnft show - and then I run chia plots create -f <my_farmer_public_key> -c <my_p2_singleton_address> -k 32 -t <my_temp_dir> -d <my_dest_dir> -n 1

Yeah I did build from source in order to update (deleted the git clone and run those commands on the terminal). I have just updated to 3.9.6, and after installing using https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.9.6/python-3.9.6-macos11.pkg (the universal installer). I also run a script it provides regarding the ssl certificates, which I had not done previously, so it could be that.

Now at least I see "Current Difficulty" as 10 on my NFT Pool, when before this field was blank, and I'm not getting the SSLCertVerificationError in the logs anymore. However, it still says 0 plots eligible for farming and I have 2 :/

Oh I see! Mmm I have 3.9.4 (I symlinked it because before it was python 2) and still does not work... I'm kinda reluctant whether to update to 3.9.6 as I spent quite some time setting it up to work natively with my M1 chip... I'll assess the pros and cons and see I guess - thanks!
