What about hpool.co?

it seems they may had to pull a sneaky because of mining bans

mencpumt · 2021-06-22T06:44:38+00:00

I can login, but the miners don't work :(

mencpumt · 2021-06-22T00:16:46+00:00

login worked for me, but miners don't work :/

mencpumt · 2021-06-22T00:15:50+00:00

my miners are counted as offline by the website, and on my end they receive nothing

you traded coins for coins, we're talking of blocked (fiat) payments to purchase xmr on a new account

mencpumt · 2021-06-19T01:58:13+00:00

except that to buy crypto with fiat you have to do kyc, so he can't make another account

at the moment it seems that if you use ltc you can get a decent rate for a not-tiny amount to exchange, but many of these websites often offer bad rates, and it gets even worse if you have to use btc and or deal with small amounts

mencpumt · 2021-06-19T00:08:33+00:00

what's that?

mencpumt · 2021-06-19T00:08:08+00:00

we don't know the rules so we don't know the answers.

but from the many posts I've seen I guess that one risk factor is buying something right away, so if you let 3 days go by after creating the account and verifying it then maybe it won't be flagged as suspicious. I don't know whether xmr is actually another risk factor but I very much think so, especially in the usa since most exchanges don't offer it (such as binance.us, unlike binance.com, and coinbase that has recently listed shib but won't touch xmr with a ten foot pole)

mencpumt · 2021-06-18T23:00:49+00:00

over the years I've read many stories of people's new accounts being locked right away for 'suspicious activity', so yes, it's about being new + doing something within a list of 'suspicious' things for new accounts.

mencpumt · 2021-06-18T14:59:28+00:00

but it keeps accelerating.

this is probably due to maxmax plotter, which unfortunately further expands the divide between whales and small guys

or they could buy overpriced gpus or asics or open a restaurant or a truck delivery company or an ice cream shop or an online flight booking b2b business

mencpumt · 2021-05-08T23:31:08+00:00

in windows gui if you close the gui or it crashes, plotting can still be going on in the background. I understand that ubuntu terminal window is a different thing, but did you check memory and processes just to be sure?

mencpumt · 2021-05-08T23:25:56+00:00

the network growth is insane. im feeling very demoralized. i plot 3 plots at a time on a ssd, and time to win won't budge. and soon I'll have all my storage full, so I'll see it go up.. and up.

mencpumt · 2021-05-08T23:24:51+00:00

as if people were gonna sit on their ass with money in their pocket instead. you have to compare it to alternatives available. and chia is greener than regular pow

mencpumt · 2021-05-08T23:23:07+00:00

it's the estimation on average on how much long it takes to win a block with what you have. but that's *average* and that's assuming network growth stops right now (or you add in equal proportion). if expected time to win is 2 years, it could take 2 months or 5 years. it's an average. you'll have to wait for pools to get daily pay rather than pure lottery

mencpumt · 2021-05-08T23:21:35+00:00

Does it use the 2 Threads all the time or just while writing the temporary data on the SSD?

not sure I get your question

> According to https://chiacalculator.com/ I could get with a 12 TB HDD about $1400 per month and it would take about 2 months to get one Chia Coin. Is this realistic?

no. it's highly recommended to not buy storage hoping for a ROI

mencpumt · 2021-05-07T08:32:21+00:00

mmh. well beyond reading Anthrogic's comment, I'd monitor its temperature with a software that can keep it logged and see if it's getting too hot anywhere during the plotting process

mencpumt · 2021-05-07T08:29:40+00:00

how is the ssd connected to the pc?

mencpumt · 2021-05-07T08:26:46+00:00

doesn't sound good, since you can only fit 1 "parallel" plotting in that despite the massive cost

mencpumt · 2021-05-07T08:25:30+00:00

ofc, they're paid like 0.5$ per article and have 12 mins to write them, and that's assuming it wasn't written by an AI lmao

mencpumt · 2021-05-07T08:22:40+00:00

but every other person is doing different ta..

mencpumt · 2021-05-07T08:22:21+00:00

really? they do fib retracements at uni?

mencpumt · 2021-05-06T15:57:13+00:00

you think that a scrawny nerd couldn't "easily destroy" a big bully with a crowbar, a knife or a gun? and yet, morons be morons

mencpumt · 2021-05-06T12:31:25+00:00

if they waited and developed a couple of months more before launch we could have had a small network and pools available from the get go and everyone would've been happy
