8 years ago nastyfans auction opens. I post some fun facts about the eighth year of nastyfans...

• 5 seats sold on the auction (total of 0.00612233 BTC)
• 1 year ago a nastyfans seat sold for 0.00135 BTC ($13.81)
• most recent nastyfans seat sale was for 0.0011 BTC ($21.33)
• 1 seat minted
• 1.03985154 BTC donated to nastyfans
• 1 seat accepting donations received 0.00003608 BTC
• 2 new members

Not many things happen for year 8. Of coarse except donations and distributions every week. The plan list for year 9 keeps the same.

• NastyPool online again
• polls for handling terminated seats
• update backend infrastructure

I thank the members for making this fanclub so much fun to be with!

I also want to remind people to login every once in a while to keep your account active. We also chat quite a bit in our slack group still and if anyone wants in, drop me a PM.

Thank you, happy to be back and thanks for the update!

That's a lot of updates, but all sounds good, and I think the strategy on the S19s make sense as well.  Been happy with the luck we've been having, keep up the great work!

Hey kroneko!  Nice to have you back.  Things just keep rolling along...  This thread is probably due for an update, so here's what has happened recently.

At the end of July I met with nonnakip as he flew out to spend some time sitting in boats and enjoying the scenery of Northern California.  We had some great discussions about things that could be done to bring some more fun and activity to NastyFans and hopefully some of them materialize in the future as it would be great to get more activity on this project.  This international travel led to a 22 hour delay in issuing a refund that caused quite a stir a while back.  Sure, complaining about a 22 hour refund delay while someone is traveling internationally is not exactly logical, but that's the state of bitcointalk and it's members these days.  Here's my response on the thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.54884247

I no longer own the NastyCenter property.  A decade long boom in real estate has resulted in the sale of the NastyCenter property as I reduce the amount of properties owned in an effort to rebalance my real estate portfolio to being focused on providing entertainment instead of investment returns.  Sale of this property has closed, so the NastyCenter is no more.  In 2015 we were utilizing this space to mine because heat was the limiting factor, not electricity rates.  Considering we haven't utilized this property in nearly half a decade, I don't see it having any effect whatsoever on this organization.

Our S17Pro is operating at 2/3 capacity.  Last month we had a chain of ASICs become non-functional.  I've been quoted a price of $300 + parts to have it looked at and repaired, but I'm not sure if it is worth it at this point as I had been thinking about selling the unit to upgrade to S19 hardware.  We have quite a bit of funds sitting around that would make this $300 a non-issue, but I feel at this point in the Bitcoin price cycle it might be wise to just let things go as they are and wait for an opportunity to put our funds to use.  I'm always open to suggestions if anyone had some on how to proceed with hardware and our savings.

I think that covers most of the excitement we've had lately.  I feel like while this project has been quiet, we're currently sitting with the highest $ amount in savings we've ever had, our product line for sale at https://nastyfans.org/mint is full of great options, we have both ASIC & GPU miners generating returns, and have had 44 weeks in a row of donation distributions that give us plenty of hope for the future.  I never dreamed we would reach this level of success when I raised a couple hundred dollars to run an FPGA miner for the community, but now that we have, it feels like we're still just getting started on what could be possible with the right community spirit.  

Happy Friday everyone!   Been a while but been interesting seeing Bitcoin back in the news!   How's everyone been doing? 

I took a look at the Historic Distribution List today and thought I'd share some thoughts.  Dating back to 2012, NastyFans has had 374 weeks of distributions.  361 of those weeks have resulted in distributions being made on the blockchain to seat owners.  13 of those weeks did not result in transactions being made on the blockchain primarily due to not receiving enough donations to trigger anyone's payout threshold.  I am extremely impressed with this 96.5% weekly payout rate but must take responsibility for 7 of these recent missed blockchain transaction weeks between September-December of 2019 (below threshold amounts were still accrued to member accounts).  They were the result of nicehash changing their payout methods which caused less frequent payouts in my attempt to cut down on transaction fees.  I did not take into account the result on weekly blockchain transactions in my actions.  While I believe this issue has been solved and we will likely see a long multiyear streak of weekly transactions, I think finding a new pool with more transparency and automated payouts would be beneficial.  If anyone has any suggestions, I would be open to them.

A couple days into the new year and NastyFans is already distributing BTC!  I love it!  Thanks nonnakip!

I have tried nicehash with my asics but they never stay connected - constantly disconnect and go hours upon hours of no work. only pool I have issue with using asics

Mining is going well. No news is good news on that front. Currently we’re mining on Nicehash due to having a gpu/asic mix.

What's the latest on bringing NastyPool online?

Who's Mining Where?

How's Mining going?

Of course it is relevant, otherwise you are suggesting that investors should not do due diligence.

Now, you wouldn't do that, right?

nattylitecoin had me do the engraving and assembling for the nattymind project he partnered with mindtrip on.  mindtrip hosted a NastyPool node a short time for nonnakip before he shut it down to run his own nodes.  I know mindtrip from this forum and our slack group, which is where several of us discussed signing messages to claim GBYTE to one address.  None of this is relevant to the thread. 

More on topic, NastyFans has received 2 donations this week totaling 0.05073283 BTC.

He apparently worked with og on the NattyMind elutherea coins, as well as hosting a node for OG in the past:

I am not going to elaborate, but I have heard nothing but scammy shit about him as well as og.... :shrug:

What is your relationship with OGnasty, nonakip and nasty organization? I see that you claimed GBYTE airdrop to the same address OGnasty used:

awesome! I have tried to go green but to do so is expensive but so far I do have 36 solar panels but they barely make a dent in my overall usage lol but I am sure it saves me a little. My monthly average production is 1300 kw/h. I would like to add an additional 150 panels but FL has some stupid law that if the system is over 11 kw system that an additional 1 million is required in insurance. my current system is just under that limit.

We met up in Vegas last year!    It was great to have you back to the NastyShanty™ after all this time though.  The place definitely got a green energy upgrade since your last visit.

Nice to hear you've already started your mission to contact fans.  If there are fans reading this that haven't logged in for a long time, please do so. 

After lighting our mouths on fire, we did talk about some ideas to have fun and give away money.  I'm looking forward to what materializes and hopefully seeing some good spirited discussion surrounding whatever ideas are presented.

Always energizing getting to exchange ideas with someone else who is passionate about the project.

Last week I meet OgNasty again. After 5 years! Good to meet again and talk about Bitcoin and NASTY MINING and nastyfans and NastyPool. We talk about the state of things and exchange ideas about how to move forward. A positive discussion. A inspiring discussion.

I already begin contacting nastyfans members to begin some cleanup. I expect to breathe new life into NastyPool and nastyfans infrastructure for 2020.

Thank you OgNasty for such nice visit. My mouth still burns from chilli sauce!

Good to know, thanks.

NastyMining’s miners are running on NiceHash due to p2pool inconsistently finding blocks. This has been the case for a long time now.
