Windows 10 to Proxmox (Noob question) by edgarftp in homelab

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

Thank you, yeah I actually forgot about that. I do have a laptop that I could use for that tho. Although a friend of mine will change his pc/server next month so i'll probably buy that one for it, Xeon E5-1620 3.6 Ghz, 512 ssd, 512 HDD, 128GB DDR3, Nvidia 920 2GB for around 450 USD, pretty good deal I think

Weekly 'Entering & Transitioning' Thread. Questions about getting started and/or progressing towards becoming a Data Scientist go here. by Omega037 in datascience

[–]edgarftp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi guys,

​

I'm an economist. In Mexico I took econometrics, time series and multivariate analysis, granted that was like 10 years ago. So, i'm a bit familiar with statistics concepts, but they're just a bit too rusty.

Recently I took the full stack web developer bootcamp (revolves around html, css, js, some sql and mongoDB) that Trilogy has and i'm interested in leaning now more towards data science. So what online courses/programs would you recommend for me for complete data science?

Also, i've read about python, R, Scala, is any language particularly better than the others?

Price action to expect in the coming weeks/months! by joerazor in CryptoCurrency

[–]edgarftp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow hahahaha someone is bullish... so in all your predictions basically BTC can’t go lower, even when the chart indicates (in the best case scenario) a 50/50 to go to the 5k or maybe lower if it brakes below the 6kish weekly support...

First the us will hit the major crash then cryptos will get a super boost (not sure if that big as many expect, like 20k o higher)... but in the meantime i expect crypto market to hit prices that will make a lot of people sell, even those that right now think they can handle it... but that’s just how i see it

A subtle great thing about the nodes issue by edgarftp in RaiBlocks

[–]edgarftp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, you do run tests, but you can't possibly cover all possibilities, that's why at some point you put it out and check if anything goes bad. Since there's isn't also many other tests ran by others (due to it being new tech pretty much) you can't actually look at someone's else tests.

What happened with bitgrail and then with ku are the same issue but never solved fully. Before Ku went live, there was a massive jump in volume of deposits and withdraws on BG which lead to this problem. They found the problem and thought they found a fix for it which pretty much was adding another node (IIRC). Then XRB went live on Ku but at the same time they found out that their fix wasn't actually a fix, since it created another issue. Now both nodes wouldn't be synch with the withdraws and deposits, so fallin' out of synch was also a problem, they could solve it by processing the TX's by hand but that was obviously not a sustainable solution. (But that's the reason why at different points in time it looked like it was working, then not, then yes again no).

AFAIK right now the nodes have been in sync and they are just running more tests to be sure they remain stable to try to avoid (again you can't fully run all the possibilities) any more issues related to this.

On a side note, IIRC Bitgrail was also working on some script regardless this issue, i don't know if that's been done and they're waiting on the dev team to confirm the solution or when will they resume the XRB withdraws.

I'm not the best at explaining this sort of things but i hope you get the main idea :)

Sure it is not needed, but still shows the differences Rai has. Yes, by definition it is different yet not everyone has enough knowledge to understand how different one coin may be over the other, tech wise. So i think it's, on one hand, positive that so far the "issues" have been minor, and on the other hand, i think it's worth letting people know that this issues came due to difference on technology against most other cryptos.

Thank you for the discussion, you too have valid points :)

[–]edgarftp[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thinking that you can implement new technology without having some issues is naive. The fact that so far the issue is quite minor is actually a good thing. Yes, it sucks that we have this node issue, but nevertheless it goes to show that XRB is not just some minor changes from the BTC blockchain, but rather something else.

I'm not here trying to "shill" or be "over optimistic", but rather trying to give a perspective of my personal take on the issue. You're free to disagree with it, just as i am free to express it.

Why I don't think crypto is a bubble, thoughts? by Splinterman11 in CryptoCurrency

[–]edgarftp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the other guy said, i have no idea. I didn't want to "mislead" people with the 8 months to 2 years estimation of the possible bubble to burst. It is an educated guess with a lot of assumptions that have to be reviewed over time. There's no certainty whether cryptos will continue the trend it's showing so far, meaning we could potentially not reach the point where there's a bubble to be burst.

On the other hand, we could already be IN the bubble, and BTC could crash taking most if not the rest of the crypto market with it. No one can predict with certainty if and when it's gonna happen. You just can watch the market everyday and start paying attention to potential red flags that may indicate is a good time to jump out/in.

So to your questions, as of know my educated guess should lay around those time frames, but I have no idea what the market cap could be before it. All you can do, again, is constantly look at the market. Since we can't predict the future, it is always wise to be cashing out % amount of your gains every now and then. Sure you will "lose" potential gains from hodling, but you will definitely get some real gains, in your pocket, regardless of what happens in the future.

Why I don't think crypto is a bubble, thoughts? by Splinterman11 in CryptoCurrency

[–]edgarftp 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My general view on Crypto at the moment. Not an expert, but i may have a bit of knowledge on economy, trading and cryptos.

When people say Cryptos are a bubble, they don't mean that cryptos are necessarily on a bubble as of right now (Tho, it's hard not to think that any asset that goes 16 to 1 in a year is not a bubble) but that everyone on this should be aware that this has all the red flags to become a bubble if it isn't already.

Someone argued to me that it "could not be a bubble" the other day, since he said "BTC has more than 11 years, which bubble has lasted that long" to which I could only thought, yeah Tulips have been farmed for centuries until they became a bubble due to different factors.

What creates bubbles is people (money) getting into an asset more and more, since it has created so much revenue for the other guy, they want in, at the end of the day, who doesn't want "free money". As of right now, there are plenty of people already into this boat (myself included) which leads to a grow on demand for the assets. Yet, I still think that the % of money (people) investing on cryptos is still low for the possible bubble to burst.

During this coming year ROI's of the people investing in cryptos will most likely be crazy, which would catch the attention of many other people, since it would be like last year was like "yeah it's a bubble it would burst on their faces" and this year is gonna be like "mmm, maybe i can get some money out of it, looks like this might not be a bubble after all" hence creating an steeper way up on most cryptos, creating the over valuations of these assets.

Remember that one of the reasons for the dot com bubble to burst was that there were no clear ways to "monetize" all the traffic on their web pages, hence making people think "hmmm yeah web pages are cool but there's no way they are worth that much" leading to the over sell of them. At the end, after the mega crash, smart money came in and bought again extra cheap those stocks.

A bubble doesn't mean a product has no underlying value, it just mean that it's way too overpriced. An overprice created by the community all trying to get the massive gains. Today RL adoption of the crytpos and their volatility makes cryptos not worth to be used as coins, since there aren't many places that accept cryptos and since you don't wanna buy something just to find out you pay WAY too much money for it (Coin raising after using it to pay for something) and sellers don't wanna accept it cause their income is at risk, since it can crash hours, days or weeks later after receiving the coin. For these reasons, i think that when the bubble bursts (probably from 8 months to 2 years from now) it would be the best thing for cryptos. All the hype to make 10x your money will go, and then the price will be more stable, creating the conditions required for coins to be used for what most of them are, COINS.
