Date: March 10th, 2018 2:08 AM Author: Brilliant Adventurous Stead did you read the politico article on mining?
some of the numbers seem off:
"When finished, the prefabricated wood-frame structure, roughly 12 by 48 feet, will be equipped with hundreds of high-speed servers that collectively draw a little over a megawatt of power and, in theory, will be capable of producing around 80 bitcoins a month."
Antminer S9 earns 0.03095 BTC per month. 80/.03095 = 2,585, meaning he would need 2,585 S9 machines, not "hundreds of high-speed servers." And likely he is using something less powerful than the S9, because you could get the same hash with less $ invested (assuming space and power consumption are not expensive, which is the whole point of mining there)? |

Date: March 10th, 2018 2:54 PM Author: 180 peach telephone ratface Okay I'm actually reading it now Some areas of central WA like Lake Chelan are 180, they even have a burgeoning wine industry so you can be a bit bougie. I'd move there |

Date: March 11th, 2018 1:28 AM Author: Brilliant Adventurous Stead yeah man, as the climate warms wine production is moving north. pinot noir likes it cool. much of the pinot noir production now favors oregon over CA. WA will be next. if the temperature stabilizes just a bit warmer than now, WA might be the perfect place to invest in some wine land.

If you don't have enough capital POS won't net you much either |

Date: March 10th, 2018 2:49 PM Author: 180 peach telephone ratface Yeah it necessarily assumes crypto remains viable, which I think it will Go all-in on eth (again!) when POS is imminent cr? |
