    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    The growth hasnt been parabolic recently its been pretty healthy with lots of stagnation and movment to help set resistance. Whats the fair value for btc? it was just as comfortable at 10k as 70k with only a arbatrary fair value, that is not the case for any stock, fiat, commodity, etf...

    Gaming on Quadro?

    I'm not sure if any of those cards would be much of a improvement over a wx4100. Maybe try overclocking your current card? Firepros can normally oc some

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    The market maker for crypto is quite a few exchanges as well as large fiat to crypto sales. Not a single party. Crypto news is published for every single significant movement in every direction. It's also published to manipulate the price of crypto. Take it with a grain of salt. What is this...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    Bitcoin is not a commodity. It's classified as such. It is a crypto. It is more volatile then currency, stock, oil, etfs etc. That 10% number is rubbish for stocks. Patern prediction for stocks is inaccurate. Any time you see a crypto graph with lines drawn on it they are wrong. Crypto is...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    Ya my fault for not being more clear. Unfortunately for most cases crypto=btc. The altcoins haven't decoupled from btc in awhile, and in the mentioned case where we see billions of dollars of manipulation flowing into btc, crypto will directly follow. Also buy eth, its cool.

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    Oddly, I was arguing that it is impossible for the value of btc to go to 0, assuming that the network remains unbroken. Much like the value of gold can never be 0 provided we cannot mint free gold. The ETF can go to 0, they highlight a few ways this could happen in the sec document. There shares...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    These is abit of a history with large btc accounts or holdings going poof. Numerous exchanges did just that. I think coinbases custodianship of the btc is relatively secure but it allows them to hide the movement of crypto from the account and the size of the account. If blackrock and coinbase...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    Not worried about a single entity keeping control of 200k bitcoin? coinbase has custodianship of it which is fine enough, if it disappears "Bitcoin transactions are irrevocable and stolen or incorrectly transferred bitcoins may be irretrievable. As a result, any incorrectly executed bitcoin...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    Simply put I don't believe they cover the whole asset value in crypto. They make there own market (blackrock) and let you trade in it. It kinda has to be its own market if you're going to constrain it to m-f instead of all the time. If stocks crash, crypto etfs will collapse into oblivion even...

    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    Abit of a adjacent rant there.. Can't see the word crypto without posting this? Control of large fiats is important. If crypto was that size it would indeed be frightening. As it acts more like a free market and not a currency. However the governments of the world do a terrible job of...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    kyc restrictions ruined some of it but many exchanges offer very cheap, even reckless amounts of margin. Like up to 5x (500%) which is absolutely extreme for something as volitle as crypto. The fun part, is shorts cost the same as buying margin. So unlike stock options where you will have more...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    There isnt another public exchange for trading oil, gold that allowed for a open market to set its price. Cryptos price is set entirely on the trading book of crypto exchanges, etfs just mimic this by creating their own private manipulated market. Gold and oil are prolific enough that there...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    They are far more established and there isn't much nominal trading of physical gold and oil. There is plenty of crypto trading outside of market hours. Also crypto isn't really a commodity. The crypto etfs don't do a good job of matching the market, and really in principle shouldn't be used...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    Bitcoin is not a stock. Options for bitcoin don't exist in the same manner as stocks. Bitcoin does not respect the market close or what day it is. Etfs for crypto are kinda stupid, they will not directly follow the crypto and honestly they should be avoided as opposed to just buying or shorting...

    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    They are good cpus to buy. A powerful x86 chip with lots of cache and threads is useful for many workloads. Gaming to monero mining. This crypto is kinda weird though. It's not a conventional blockchain wasting cycles to ensure solid math. It more or less runs distributed workloads.

    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    That is especially the case for cpu mineable coins, often its difficult to even convert to another crypto let alone be worth anything when you do. There just isn't nearly enough demand for a random altcoin when so many are produced via mining. Xmr is a good exception as its been around for...

    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    I may have to give it a test, normally cpu mining profitability hovered just around the cost of electricity. Rendering mining on a large scale inefficient. I do have some intel phi cpus lying around... Lots of cores, lots of onchip memory, and avx 512 support. May have to spin up one of the...

    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    Nvidia was the one who disabled mining operations. Intel is foolish deligating certain instruction sets to pro only chips. Why would AMD be upset that cpus get bought and mined on?

    AVX-512 CPUs are being used for cryptomining

    Cpu mining will not sustain profitability. No coins large enough for the amount of cpus out there. Historically cpu mineable coins have been cache heavy algos. That's why they run best on amd chips. Plenty easy to target avx512 for an algorithm.

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    Btc may go crazy. Honestly not a good thing for fiats and stocks so the forces that may be could keep it fairly reasonable (2x spike). I think ethereum is a better buy and btc may increase. We may see a crash of more then just crypto in the future..

    Every GPU I owned since 2007 (Fun Topic)

    Proxmox with 2 GPUs, 1 on an x16 slot another on x4?

    on esxi, it will set its main display on boot, then reroute it when the hypervisor gets to passthrough devices. I dont think it would be an issue

    Proxmox with 2 GPUs, 1 on an x16 slot another on x4?

    A pcie 3 x4 lane isn't a major bottleneck even on flagship card, should work fine. I have multiple headless esxi rigs with lots of gpus passed through. I've only ever tried proxmox with one gpu a long time ago but I have to imagine you can pass-through whatever you want.

    Navi 22 GPU below MSRP in China upsets AMD

    Who cares, market practice in China can look different from what we see in the west. Look at what restrictions Nvidia abides to regarding their top silicone in China. It doesn't surprise me that amd would like to restrict a China specific sku regarding price and availability. Good for them...

    WTB cheap GSM smartphone

    Thanks, but thats the same s7 I have. The g930A indicates att network locked. So it wouldnt work on other gsm networks without unlocking or rooting. I may try and find a better microusb cable and attempt that with the s7 I have, no need for 2 of them.

    Help booting - pulling my hair out

    That's odd. Only things I would have recommended is reseting cmos, and remove all perpetuals. Next steps are remove all but one stick of ram, reseat the cpu, and pull motherboard from the case (potentially shorted if something metal fell or moved behind the motherboard.) I would assume...

    Is my 4070 pci-e lane damaged?

    Insignificant manufacturing deviation. Also the slightly shorter pin 2 from the last is common for pcie devices. No issue, enjoy the card

    WTB cheap GSM smartphone

    I do need it to be unlocked on a gsm network, I had a s7 I was going to use but its atat locked and I didnt feel like rooting it (usb port is too mangled to succeed). I should specify, im only really looking for android devices. No iphones and I dont think id want to dive into the windows...

    WTB cheap GSM smartphone

    Do older SATA drives need 3.3V?

    I have yet to run into a drive that I couldn't run off a molex to sata adapter with no 3.3v. Perhaps instead of cutting the wire to the other drives, put the one that doesn't like 3.3v on a molex adapter?
