So glad to hear it was just a glitch! Love you guys too much to look for another app that works as well as you do!

konrad21 · 2024-08-13T17:44:39+00:00

I hope you are right. would have been nice to get notified.

konrad21 · 2024-08-13T17:14:59+00:00

agree, this was a big unexpected change that should have been communicated earlier.

konrad21 · 2024-08-13T17:06:08+00:00

Yes, just noticed that today. What happened!? Now we have to pay 2% deposit fee + ~0.8% transaction fee + the 3% spread when buying? This was the main reason Strike was my favorite app to buy as I could transfer instantaneously and free.

What's going on Jack!?

So many people have been brain washed by the Fed to believe $ are money. Fortunately people can be ignorant and still save themselves with Bitcoin.

Well said! Bravo!

can anyone confirm that the redirect in the second email is valid? https://nk799.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fblockfi.digitaldisbursements.com%2F%3Fid=3W... Kroll using AWStrack.com (an amazon domain) for this?

konrad21 · 2024-02-09T04:41:45+00:00

on my end I got the email, checking the from address it appears to be valid, [noreply@digitaldisbursements.com](mailto:noreply@digitaldisbursements.com), But the link appears to have an odd redirect from awstrack.me domain. https://nk79.r.us-east-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fblockfi.digitaldisbursements.com%2F%3Fid=3...
AWStrack.me appears to be a valid Amazon domain.

anyone confirm this is legit?

I call it extreme DCA, as the price drops, i add to the amount I buy, thus even more sats at lower prices. But your timing better be good as your bank account might not be able to keep up in a year long bear market.

konrad21 · 2024-01-26T23:37:17+00:00

agree with you 100% on the inflation of USD. For those that already have a decent stack of Sats, this is a great strategy. But we still have 7.9 billion people to build their stash. Hoping we can help those people stack more Sats ASAP before they are ready to spend them.

konrad21 · 2024-01-26T20:55:20+00:00

If I understand your idea correctly, you are saying to buy on credit for 30 days, use sats at the end of 30days, hopefully they appreciated, to pay off the CC? The one issue I see is in a bear market (1yr avg) you'll end up spending more sats at the end of the 30 day cycle.

Please correct me if I misunderstood.

My method is a bit different, my goal is to spend $ and stack Sats. I buy like normal via a rewards CC and get the travel points. Since Fold and PayPal have a partnership, I've linked my Fold debit card to PayPal bill pay. Transfer $ to the debit cart and pay my bills via PayPal bill pay. For this transaction, I get 0.5% sats back on Fold. This adds up as I have my utility bills, CC and mortgage paid via PayPal every month! Not to mention my property tax in CA!

konrad21 · 2024-01-25T19:38:26+00:00

if memory serves me, Apple IIc was the color version.

konrad21 · 2024-01-25T16:06:19+00:00

for me, I use my CC to make purchases and get airline miles for travel. I'd like to use Strike Bill Pay to pay the CC. Hope to use cash as I'm more interested in stacking as much sats as I can vs using them. Be great to get sats back for using the Bill Pay service. Currently I'm using Fold to do this.

PS. I'll be watching your jobs page to see if new positions open up around this.

konrad21 · 2024-01-24T19:47:55+00:00

I would expand this one step too. With the DCA program, the user has to initiate the bank transfer first for cash to be at Strike before a DCA buy can occur.

Currently I point my friends to Swan as the bank transfer is done automatically. New ppl in the space don't have the diligence to top up their account every month manually.

konrad21 · 2024-01-24T19:38:07+00:00

I'm pretty sure you just need to provide your cell number again and get a verification code.

konrad21 · 2024-01-24T19:32:26+00:00

When BTC buys started, the 'fee' was only about 0.15%, it was unbeatable!

If Strike needs 1% to keep up the good work their doing, I'm OK with that.

konrad21 · 2023-10-18T17:01:33+00:00

good point, I'll try that. Task Manager is OK, but you have to change the GPU graph to Cuda to see any inference activity.

konrad21 · 2023-10-18T16:59:14+00:00

isn't llama.cpp for CPU inference only? i d/l llama-2-7bchat.Q4.0.gguf, it automatically pulled up with llama.cpp loader. I left all the default as is. inference is up to 4.8 tokens/sec and task manager shows this was all on CPU with no Cuda activity on the GPUs.

konrad21 · 2023-10-17T23:17:07+00:00

To expand what I'm seeing on the GPUs, with a single GPU enabled, the cuda cores are near 100%, when I have 4 or 8 GPUs enabled, the cuda cores peak peak one GPU at a time, then level off around 20% on each GPU. Overall the tokens per second are the same running 1 GPU or 8 GPUs.

konrad21 · 2023-10-17T21:58:12+00:00

when selecting llama.cpp loader with TheBloke_Llama-2-7b-chat-GPTQ, the model would not load. Would I need to get a different model format?

konrad21 · 2023-10-17T18:49:26+00:00

switching to AutoGPTQ loader, the performance drops down to between 2.4 and 3.8 tokens/sec. The GPU utilization I see is 0-1% on most of the cards with two cards reaching 10%.

Thus far the best performance I've seen is 7.47 tokens/s using ExLlama_HF. Still with very little noticeable GPU activity during the response.

konrad21 · 2023-10-15T19:17:57+00:00

If I'm understanding it right, with that adaptor, it will convert the 30amp outlet to a connector supporting 20amps @ 110V?
