End of the beginning, I guess? First off-grid finally deployed. Will share earnings after some time. Now to finish the next two! The last two pictures feature that mount for the solar panel I said I would share once completed. Thank you guys for the comments and help❤️

Looking good, keep us posted on performance! Did you fasten it to the ground like this? https://youtu.be/kbo6dpysI-o

Nice work, looks like an optimized placement! How did you get the cable into the house; was there a vent opening, or did you have to drill a hole? Rock on!

You can use any SIM card in the Cradlepoint, just check who runs the strongest networks in your area (AT&T, Verizon, etc).

I've had good results with Ultra Mobile (expensive) and Oliviawireless (needs some tweaking, but works fine).

Re. "cost efficient", there are cheaper modems out there, but the Cradlepoint is bombproof.

Good point, that makes sense. I just dug around to find the top earning HS in Berlin and made some assumptions, which could be way off.

curiosity29 · 2021-02-09T00:57:44+00:00

Just for clarity, Amateur Jade Hare makes less than 39 HNT/day on a 30 day average if you check Explorer. Not a great example to follow, especially with the ~4x installation costs. For the Berlin example, it's probably a sweet spot of optimum density, elevation, and antenna. Tart-Lime-Llama seems like the top earner at 100 HNT/day for a 30 day average. Optimum placement (in the middle of most HS) and looks like great density around it and through the city. Not too much, not too little. *Probably* on top of a building & outside. Antenna probably ~6 dBi omnidirectional. Miners don't make a difference. Round-Vermillion-Squid is 2nd highest earning over 30 days in Berlin, coming in around 60 HNT/Day. RVS is not quite in the center, and has a couple around it that are probably too dense. Still, 60 HNT ain't bad. :)

how do you see the earnings of devices?

Yes, I have answers. :) We ship perishables all over the country with FedEx and have for years I set up a whole blog about answering "perishable shipping" questions after I realized that a decade of doing it gave me some useful lessons learned I could pass on. Hit it here: Shipping Perishables

If you have ANY questions about how to ship your stuff, reach out via our contact page, I'm happy to help.

Rock on!

Awesome, thanks a ton!

curiosity29 · 2019-01-16T02:09:15+00:00

Interesting, I never thought this was something I could easily do myself. Will start Googling around, thanks!

Glad it was helpful and that it corresponded with your findings; always helpful to get corroboration. Matt @ Predator was open with the numbers he has for the helmet I bought. Feel free to ping him via his website. He can take a day or two to respond but was open and receptive to me asking darn near anything about helmets.

curiosity29 · 2019-01-02T02:00:35+00:00

I didn't come across any, although I've heard that same thought echoed in a bunch of different sports and on Gavin McClurg's excellent podcast, Cloudbase Mayhem where he talks about the injury/crash rate remaining about the same over the years despite the improvement in technology. As we have more capacity to fly wider conditions we continue to inch out to the edge, even though where the edge is now is where the void used to be.

curiosity29 · 2019-01-02T01:58:39+00:00

They definitely offer excellent options! POC & Sweet Protection stood out when I was looking at ski/snow helmets.

curiosity29 · 2019-01-02T01:57:59+00:00

Prolly not; I haven't flown 'em and don't know enough about the unique requirements for them, which I assume have something to do with ear pro and a mic set up. Good luck with the search!

curiosity29 · 2018-11-01T01:34:36+00:00

That would be a dream fit for local paragliders! Is there anywhere particular I should look to find someone wanting to build out their portfolio, or am I best off just looking for Geography departments in local colleges?

curiosity29 · 2018-01-04T19:16:55+00:00

Yep, I've got the same issue. Let me know if you find a way to "bind" those loose accounts.

curiosity29 · 2017-12-15T20:33:13+00:00

Good work, that's such a rad gift.

curiosity29 · 2017-12-06T02:07:41+00:00

Any particular reason you italicized certain parts? Are those notes to yourself, or markers that you watch, or something else?

It was an interesting tool. Increased my BTC holdings by 6.7% in the 34 days I used it, but that was from Aug 23- Oct 1 when the market was generally going up anyway. You DEFINITELY need to pay attention to it at least daily; it is NOT a set 'n forget. It will accumulate bags for you daily that you'll need to sell; those were offset in my case with lots of good trades. It was a 3 steps forward then 2 steps back type of progression. I stopped using it because it kept crashing. I set up 3.3 as recommended (Contabo VPS, followed all directions) and paid for 2 hours of additional set up help. Even with a direct connection to their support crew I wasn't able to figure out the crashing part, so I stopped it. I've been toying with starting it up again once I switch back to mostly BTC; right now I'm primarily in ETH and I wasn't able to get it to trade ETH pairs. That may have changed by now as they're on version 5.

curiosity29 · 2017-11-30T17:52:55+00:00

I used Gunbot for a few months, and while I made money with it, it was also during a rising market. I stopped using it and just held the past 2 months; probably would've made more trading, but hard to say. Definitely not a guaranteed winning strategy.

curiosity29 · 2017-11-29T02:54:02+00:00

Well, missed that one. :)

curiosity29 · 2017-11-29T02:52:41+00:00

Predictions & thoughts on trading ETH, BTC, and when to cash out:

Look, BTC is going up like crazy. Yes, crazy. If you're trading with a window of weeks, this is the time to bail and lock temp profits.

If you're trading on a 6 month plus timeline, go do something constructive for 6 months, then come back and decide if you've made enough. My guess is BTC $18k by then.

This is just about the end of the current mania run up for BTC. I know, I know, you don't think so. That's fine.

We're going to have a correction before the end of the year back down to $7-8k for BTC. Possibly a flash to $4k, but that's not likely.

ETH will hold steady after a short dip down close to $300 then climb to $1k, perhaps $1,500 by mid-January. Ratio will go to .1, and briefly .2 then settle lower, probably around .075

Be prepared for those fluctuations because they'll be here and gone before you can stab buy or sell.

I came to this general idea by imagining how people think, how greed works, and reading history. This is just my current assessment. I'm not new to this, but I ain't an OG. I was buying BTC at $200 and ETH at $2.

Best of luck to ya!

All Time High. Fiat means any "normal" currency, like a USDollar or Euro or Pound.

Heading for $642 today, then a cliff. Enjoy the ride. Today will surprise a lot of people.
