@ citronick what's your opinion on moving a couple dozen from BTC into ETH

Thinking about diversifying my portfolio a little bit but not sure if I want to eat the fees or just keep it all BTC.

Currently, my Gemini account is 30% BTC, 30% ETH and 40% USD$
I have also Binance and Bittrex trading accounts... for about 12 more alts.
Diversity is key to growing wealth.

The Citronick System:

Every Monday - I see if BTC or ETH is high enough so that I can sell. If NO - do nothing.

Every Friday - I see if BTC or ETH is low enough so that I can buy. If NO - do nothing.

At the moment, BTC dipped below 15,900$ support -- so I will buy.

ETH is strong at 1225$ ATH and the rally since weekend show a lot of accumulation --- so I will sell.

RINSE and REPEAT.

Absolutely diversify your portfolio! True with stocks, 401k and other investments... also true with Crypto! I've got roughly 1/3 BTC, 1/3 ETH, and 1/3 in other alts. Those other alts are also diversified by type... meaning don't put all your eggs into the Privacy coin (like XMR etc) basket... branch out and get into storage-based coins (like Burst, Sia, Storj), other smart contract coins, medical field coins, etc, etc. This methodology has enabled me to mitigate losses on big BTC downswings. Granted, this market is crazy and nobody can predict what will happen, but at least recently, alts have made huge gains vs BTC. I know a few you-tubers were preaching moving all of their altcoin investments into BTC back in early Dec. If you followed that advice you would have lost big time as BTC has gone from about 52% of the total crypto market value to under 35% currently.

Question. When you have multiple rigs. How do you tie them all into your monitor to view what’s going on?

smOS ?

@phil - my supplier over this side of the world said that there is new NVIDIA announcements after CES and there are price hikes too.

@rs1x - much going on with ETH developments, expect this to move even higher.... ETH is good for long hodl, especially in 2018 -- the year of the Platforms (see NEO, QTUM, ICX, EOS, etc.). BTC dominance may not be long.... BTC in #2 or #3 spot looks likely.

I agree - have not sold one coin that I've mined in the last 10 months. I have a unique situation where I can offset operating costs. ETH is last I'd consider selling. I am sitting on a few EXPANSE, UBIQ, and ETH Classic I would sell before ETH.

BTC is in trouble due to tx fee manipulation .

@phil and everyone else that owns the 6 slot onda board

does it work to plug 6x 1080ti's? is windows okay? what are the limitations?

thanks

does 3 1080 tis with 3 1070s

I used evga hybrids

´

thanks phil,

i do have 1070ti's, have u tried with those? should be the same?

yeah should not be an issue.

my gut tells me both the j1800 and the b250 use 6 wires to power the boards 3 sata and 3 molex if you find a way to use 6 different cables the mobo solts will have the power you need

in the case of the j1800 six slot it has the shit cpu which may not like 6 1080tis but 3 + 3 works

on the b250 8 slot + 4 riser I have 1 full build with

3 1080 ti's
4 1070 ti's
1 1050 ti short slot

a g3930 celeron with 4 gb and an smOS 32gb 3.0 usb stick = 4000 sols and 1080 watts with zero issues

I ordered 2 more frames from spotswood

I will build a six card all waterblock on the j1800

I will build an eight card 7 waterblock 1 short card on the b250

I will try

4 1080ti
3 1070
1 1050 ti

with an 8gb stick of ram
and a better cpu i5 maybe

I am waiting on

10 mobos due today
  3 1080tis due to ship next week
  1 1080 evga hybrid due this thurs

  1 1070 zotac mini from amazon ---------- this may never come
  1 1070 msi seahawk ----------------------- rma

1 ryzen 1950x due weds
and various parts for that build not for me. I would have got the 1920x

Picture of the mod? Know you on which other server psu it's also possible?

Quote from: R0mi on January 07, 2018, 02:28:59 AM

The server PSUs that I like are the HP 1,500w common slot PSU (yellow label on top, takes 220v) and the DPS-2000BB (220v). I use them with breakout boards, not wires. You can strap or screw in a heatsink on the HP 1500w units and that will help keep them cool and the fan noise to a minimum. Easy to fit one of these into a 4U Rosewill case (HP PSU). Can't speak to the particular one on Ebay.

Quote

DO you use a passive heatsink or one with a fan? I presume you just dab some thermal paste on and zip tie it to the exterior of the PSU? Noise isn't a problem for the server PSUs out in our dedicated mining portion of our barn, but if we ever have any in the house it certainly would be an issue...

Depends. In an open rig, simply passive. Take out six screws, remove the top, apply thermal paste, clamp the heat sink to the top, drill, screw in four screws. In a 4U, I place the HP along the floor of where a normal ATX power supply would fit and I mount a fan on the outside back of the case to blow cool air over the fins. You can also zip tie to keep the heat sink in contact with the top of the HP.

I use these heat sinks:

I´m thinking about building a small Hybrid Rig using 2x Evga 1070ti Hybrid in this case: Sharkoon VG5-V

Should work if I place both hybrid fans on the side of the case (there are two spots for 120mm fans), right?!

I have 2 of the 6 x onda. I am running 6 x rx570 and on the other 4 x vega 56 and 2 x rx580.
Been running them for a few weeks. A pain to setup but all good once they are set.
I am waiting on some gtx cards so would like to know also.

I've only used my electrum wallet a few times, just copy the amount and address into it was all i had to do.

there is this note on top of the Bitcointalk page ... I think you need to be careful if you are using Electrum

"News: ♦ Critical vulnerablity in Electrum; SHUT DOWN ELECTRUM IMMEDIATELY and upgrade. Other clients are fine. More info."

Windows 10

I sprung for a very high end monitor switch that will switch up to 8 rigs.

this was when I was all windows 7 back in 2016

I now only have 3 windows rigs not 12

I also had a medium price dvi/usb switch for 4 rigs.

so I could see up to 12 rigs on 2 monitors.

Now most rigs are on smOS and I just go to the website.
and check my various emails I have with my rigs.

yeah I actually would like to see no cards for the next month and prices skyrocket on cards.

If it happens I will sell some off .

Ah a monitor switch. I figured it had to be something basic.

I just use remote desktop, there are some interesting quirks with it though and sometimes I need to go to the garage with a monitor, keyboard and mouse...

Why dont you remote access your rigs since you are on Windows.
I use Teamviewer and also TightVNC.

The asus dual and the sapphire are okay.

The asus can’t be pushed much but I liked them I had rx 470 and rx 480

The last few GPUs that I have are 1060 ZOTAC Minis (not mining cards) -- 30 of them still unboxed!

Previous GPU expansion funds, we ordered Baikal Giant-Bs instead of 1070ti, 1080ti.

No choice but wait for the Voltas to make an appearance.

My deposit is already with supplier to ensure I get a few Voltas when they come out.
