I am probably projecting my own experiences onto the entire world, but I think in reality people buy what they want when they want it with the highest quality they can afford with regards to expected usage and benefits it'd bring. Otherwise there wouldn't be lines of people when a new iphone comes out. And it is much cheaper to get a used car than it is to get one right out of the dealership, yet people still buy new cars, even though they surely know that in 3 years their car would be worth half of what they'd paid. My point is that I think we already live in the deflationary world, things of the same quality do get cheaper over time, but we're still being robbed by inflation. And that $3/GB that you paid is at most $2.50 in terms of 2016 dollars, and the RAM you bought in 2023 is probably faster (like DDR5 maybe?)

THE STORY IS CRAZY ​ Yeah I was like 9 or 10 I barely remember. He made me install mycelinum onto my phone made me setup an account and a pass phrase and I have no idea what the pass phrase is! Which yk... is a problem, 84K bro... But regardless it was like a $1 at the time so I didn't care I just liked played airsoft with his son but crazy dave soon wasn't so crazy after that... It gets better so 1 bitcoin is mine and 1 is my dads so 2 bitcoin 2 or 1 IDK CUZ I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BITCOIN SECURITY OR WTV THIS IS. there is 4 files and 2 folders within those. so pretty much I strip my pcs n laptops for storage. cuz I'm cheap and one of them was my dads old work laptop... So I strip it for parts sum useless DDR3 ram and then a 1TB HDD So before wiping it I like to see if there is anything important on it then I see a folder in the hard drive, I forgot what it was labeled. but prob like bitcoin or crypto THEN WAM I'm back in that small moment where crazy dave gave me that bitcoin but the key... is lost in my mental... So I take the folder do some research and then I gave up but then I RANDOMLY REMEMEBRED and I'm like I've never used reddit for help maybe these peeps can... but yeah that's the story I know yall eat this stuff up.

A raspberry pi 4b is a computer the size of a pack of butts, that uses a cell phone charger to run. It has the processing equivalent of an obsolete iPad (which is ARM based, but faster than a 10 year old MacBook Pro) - but with the latest release you can have 8GB of DDR4 RAM on board, which opens some serious doors for doing things like this.

Thanks for the responses, I hope that this thread can also inspire some others to set up their own nodes. I've been buying bitcoin for quite a while but just started looking into nodes recently. So a couple follow up questions regarding this old laptop I have. It has 444GB hard drive, which 386GB free. I'm sure if I cleaned it up good that would help, but I would still have run it as a "pruned" node. I think the main problem is that the hard drive write speed is only 40MB/s where it looks like 100MB/s is recommended. It also has a whopping 1.49Ghz processor and 4GB DDR3 RAM. I assume that this P.O.S. won't cut it, correct?

Ebay has a good aftermarket, Ryzen 3-5XXX series still slaps pretty hard. 3900X is one of the best bang for buck right now @ \~$240. Plus, you don't pay for an overpriced motherboard. Couple it with an B550 + CL14 DDR4 and you've got some overclocking headroom. As far as GPU, RTX 3070 you can pick up for about $370 now. Whole system above with a Platinum PSU will run about $1000.

It was so good in 2016 that it's still in use by my dad today. I refuse to sell it because one day I'll be able to show my kids my $4M laptop.

deflationary means less supply actually. It has nothing to do with "value". European Union tries to keep Euro inflationary around 1%. This has nothing to do with the fact that someone can with 50 euros buy two DDR4 rams now compared to 1 DDR4 ram in 2015.

I plotted using only a couple of consumer SSDs (Samsung) and RAM. After over half a petabyte of space plotted I'm not even close to reaching the TBW, let alone burning the SSDs. You can also buy cheap old servers with enough DDR3 RAM and plot entirely and efficiently in RAM which doesn't burn.

Honestly the plan was to wait for that & Ryzen 7000 AM5 socket, but my rig started rebooting itself last week. Diagnosis was power issuses in the CPU. Either the power delivery on the board or CPU is failing. Probably the CPU, a little bump to voltage stabilized it. Any more will be beyond max. Not surprising, it's lived its 18 years overclocked and done a fair share of mining. ROI several timea over. Next gen tech is promising, but the suspected power draw for RTX4000 is pretty high, and DDR5 is still expensive and maturing.

I run a Cardano relay, but its basically the same as a stake pool without some keys. I have a "server" which is in fact my Mums retired 10 year old i7-3770k with a more recent 500GB SSD and 16GB DDR3 RAM. The server runs Proxmox, I have about 8 containers on it doing different things, just 1 is the Cardano fullnode. At normal operation it draws just 26 Watts from the wall, so hardly costs anything to run. You really should have 2 nodes; 1 block creator and 1 relay for security, but you can start with just 1. You will need a minimum of 500ADA to create your pool certificate. You will need to understand Linux at the command line, and be able to keep up with frequent updates. Its really not hard, but may be a steep learning curve for inexperiened users, however good guides are available and the community is truly excellent. Rewards depend on if you make a block in an epoch (a 5 day period), if you make a block you get 340ADA minimum (~$400), plus any rewards on ADA you stake yourself, plus any additional % you charge delegators to your pool. Succesful pools are therefore drawing down thousands of dollars per month. Whats the catch? To reliably get a block every 5 days you need around 1M ADA in delegated stake (either your own or from other delegators). There are 3,200 pools already, so standing out is hard. If you are great at marketing though, you can easily get delegation because delegators risk nothing by using your pool.

Isn't that an older card? I'm not familiar with the AMD cards, but Google is showing that card only has 1 gigabyte of DDR5. If so, you aren't mining anything remotely profitable with it.

I think your point requires a sincere comment. This i'm gonna say can also be applied to many circumstances and topics, so i'm not gonna talk specifically about cryptocurrencies. When someone asks a question, there are 3 possibilities: 1. i know all the answers. 2. i know at least 1 answer, but i am not sure if it's the only answer 3. i don't know the answer at all. Most of the times i know at least 1 answer, but you know, questions are like discussions, you can talk about everything even for hours but the critical information matters. Since, i can't always know all of the data of the question, i either ask something crucial or i directly tell what i would do to check if the issue is a certain thing or not. In certain situations tho, you are forced to take assumptions if the OP doesn't provide some specifics, that's why sometimes i actually tell "i'll assume this..." to explain a situation/scenario. Oh! pretty often, i receive a reply from someone else telling me 'your assumption is wrong because it's not the actual data' or i receive replies like 'your solution is wrong because this other is better', while i either specified that was a possible solution and not the ONLY solution or the OP didn't provide certain informations and using an assumption wouldn't change the final result in that context. an example to the last sentence could be regarding the pc building topic: "what's the ideal power supply for an rtx3060 LHR?" we are all aware that, the model makes the difference, FE has a different wattage consumption than a Gaming and the brand makes the difference aswell (EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI..) but honestly a 10-15W difference ain't that big, considering you don't know the rest of the pc components, at this point to answer the OP you are gonna assume he has the "one with highest power consumption" and tell him you took that assumption and tell what PSU with which amount of Watt you would select... ​ You will never select a PSU with 612.66W either way, but you are not gonna take a 650W either, in a sincere point of view we all could think of a 750W, for example, you can ask the OP all the components, but not everyone is capable of answering, would you really even ask how many fans of each dimension the pc has? (Because each dimension has a different power consumption) so what's the point of being that accurate when the question isn't accurate itself!?! That's why i think answering assuming the worst scenario is better! It's like saying my DDR4 RAM costs me 1,25W..come on! ​ So, you are frustated asking questions? I'm frustated answering questions and never because of the OP.

Faster internet speeds, faster CPUs, more L3 cache, SSDs, NvMEs, DDR5/6/7/etc... all solve the problem of having to manipulate large blocks. This is not a concern, nor should it be. Lightning Network ('LN') solves tx/sec problem TC had. Visa/<C can do about \~1,700 tx/sec whereas LN current can do 500 tx/sec in this first stage and upwards of 40,000,000 tx/sec in future revisions.

Hi everyone I just had a quick question and decided posting it here would be better than making a whole post about it. So recently I bought a new gaming PC and now have nothing to do with my old one, and I was wondering if it would be worth my time to make it into a mining rig. I checked a few calculators online and they seemed to indicate that I wouldn't be able to make much of anything, however I don't know much about mining so I don't know if they were accurate. The specs are: CPU: Intel i5 4670k 3.4ghz Ram: 8gb DDR3 GPU: Radeon R9 Sapphire 290x PSU: 650w Thank you in advance!

I honestly don't notice a performance hit mining XMR and trying to do other things, except on one rig that's a 16 year old Q6600 with 8gb DDR2. And even then, it's tolerable.

They can't even get mass appeal for VR yet, how will they with a metaverse? Both rely on a high amount of customers to be successful, and both require a lot of work from developers to be successful. As it is, there are a handful of good VR games. I wouldn't say any are really outstanding except maybe Half Life, but I'll be honest, it kind of feels like a game from 20 years ago as far as the complexity of gameplay and all... Most games are just more immersive arcade games. Even Beat Saber is essentially DDR.

If things get slower over time you will not buy as many. Instead of buying the new DDR5 RAM now, you can wait a couple of months to buy it cheaper later. And unless you really want the new RAM you will most likely wait again and again and again ... And because people are not buying, businesses are not selling, and if businesses are not making any money people will have a hard time getting a job. On top of that, there are many people who have student loans or credit card debt. Their debt would get even more expensive over time. This is economics 101 but I wouldn't expect users on this sub to understand it.

That's a good point. I was mostly talking about enthusiasts, but it seems feasible to set up a DDR3 server for plotting for around $2k, which isn't THAT crazy. It DOES mean investing in a DDR3 platform which is pretty painful, but for a dedicated chia farming machine (maybe doubling as a plex server, backup server, etc.) that would be fine. Still not the kind of thing someone does just to play around, but still. I was going to object that when 500GB plots are the norm then the server would be useless, but you can buy a [motherboard with 32 RAM slots](https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Poweredge-Server-Motherboard-JMDMN/dp/B01EM34N5S), and half fill it initially with 32GB dimms, and you can upgrade to 1TB of RAM later for about $1K. One big question I have is where the bottleneck would be in that kind of system. On eBay I see opteron G34 processors (which are compatible with the linked mobo) for basically pennies. $30 per Opteron 6380 @ 2.5Ghz with 16 cores. And since our motherboard is quad socket, that means we can get 4 of them for 64 cores. So, is memory speed still the bottleneck here? Surely not processing power? Either way this seems like crazy value for $2K worth of server. Although, now that I think of it, I think Chia plotting is still bottlenecked by single-threaded performance, where we would be pretty weak. We COULD go with Xeon 3.8ghz LGA 2011 CPU, but motherboards are over $1k that have enough RAM slots. Anyways. It was fun thinking about.

500gbs of DDR3 server ram is still 1/3 the price of a 3000 series GPUs. This is like saying "the best GPUs on the market are out of reach for most people; so ethereum mining is dead". Bullshit.

Moore's law is dead. We get marginal improvements in CPU single core performance (5-10%) every 2 years. Core counts climb fast and then stagnate. We went from 1 to 8 cores in several years but then spent 10 years with no progress. Then it shot up to 64-128 cores on the high end and it'll likely stagnate there or maybe slightly above that for another 10. We are at the end of our rope with x86. Risc V and Arm can get higher core counts but it'll take years for them to even get the momentum to seriously start moving towards that outside of the ultra expensive data center and specialised compute fields. RAM sizes double or quadruple every decade and speeds get just under 2X faster in that amount of time. DDR5 is going to be pushing the existing protocol to its limits and will need ECC on all chips to handle the increased errors it faces. GDDR6X switched to PAM4 encoding which significantly increased the costs and limited yield. Most new protocols (not just RAM but also PCIE, etc) will be switching to PAM4 encoding and will be burdened with the additional cost and complexity. GPUs see the most improvements with around 1.5-2x performance increases every few years. The caveat is that this is specifically in the space of graphics and "fuzzy" matrix math where the math just needs to be good enough and not perfect. For high precision integer maths (such as cryptography) the growth is closer to 1.25x every few years. Now this is great and all but it doesn't work with branching logic. Making a decision destroys GPU performance. FPGAs see the Moore's law growth but they aren't remotely cheap enough to handle this application and still won't be in a decade. They can accelerate a few parts of the system but they aren't going to significantly reduce the cost, only make things slightly faster on the high end of costs. SSDs and HDDs are improving in volume and speed in the consumer space but until yield improves this isn't going to cleanly map to price reductions. --- Now what this comes down to is that the validator is looking for improvements in CPU single and multi core perf, disk perf, and RAM perf. CPUs, SSDs, and RAM are stuck against a price wall due to the lack of fab capacity. This won't improve for at least 5 years and will get much worse before then. Looking at this in 10 years RAM will probably be 25%, SSDs probably 12%, and CPUs around 75% or 50%. All together this still only moves the overall price down to around 30-60% of the original cost in 10 years. That's good and all but it's not the 2% you are claiming. Now more importantly, 300mbps up/down symmetric is required and 1gpbs up/down is recommended. There are very few places outside a data centre where you can get that performance consistently and network issues can tank your performance as a validator. The only place suitable for this is a data centre. And before you claim that you can get those normally in a residential environment because the ISP listes that on the tin, that's not the case. I pay for 1gbps up/down and I get something closer to 100mbps down 25mbps up. I payed for the same at my old place 300 miles away from where I am now and I got half that. Out of every person I know, maybe 1 person actually gets speeds above 300mbps on a residential connection but they live in Japan, pay a shit tonne for Internet, and it falls down to like 20mbps on weeknights. For just the Internet performance required to be a validator outside a data centre, most places would need a complete renovation of network infrastructure and even then it would probably e too unreliable to maintain any real SLA required to remain profitable as a validator. --- Don't get me wrong, I like the project. I just don't think it'll be feasible for non data centre operators to run validators in 99% of places. This causes centralisation issues even if it does allow greater performance. It's a tradeoff that has to be made and there's nothing wrong with that but different people are going to prioritise different aspects when considering the tradeoffs of the designs.

4 is the reason 2 and 3 won't happen (so much.). it wouldn't be a problem in a game like SSB where it hasn't got original characters any way, but let's say you're making a serious ww2 game with total historical accuracy.... now you've got to accommodate every one else's nfts and let people run around on a warriors battle cart wearing shiny gold shoes and gold-checked golf capris, some shirt that should have died in the eighties, but came from a DDR remake, and a ridiculous hat from red dead redemption 23.... or you 'have' to provide alternatives tied to those nfts cuz...people demand it? great way to ruin in game immersion.

Wenn man Berlin mit anderen europäischen Hauptstädten wie London, Paris, Madrid und Amsterdam vergleicht, treibt es jedem anständigen Menschen die Schamesröte ins Gesicht. Selbst kleine Länder wie Österreich, Belgien oder die Schweiz haben mit Wien, Brüssel und Zürich international vorzeigbare Städte mit hoher Lebensqualität. Deutschland ist gestraft mit Berlin, der Hauptstadt der Versager. Berlin beheimatet mit Abstand am meisten Arschlöcher in der gesamten Republik. Deutsche Bahn, Bundestag, Air Berlin und der Axel Springer Verlag sind nur einige Beispiele für den unfähigen Abschaum der hier beherbergt wird. Glorreiche Zeit sind schon längst vorbei, diese Stadt liegt am Boden. Der Berliner an sich ist durch und durch ein fauler Lump. Charaktereigenschaften die in jedem zivilisierten Kulturkreis als pure Faulheit, Unfreundlichkeit, Unfähigkeit, dissoziale Persönlichkeitsstörung und Dummheit gelten, erklärt der Berliner kurzerhand zur Berliner Wesensart. Ein weiteres zentrales Merkmal ist der alles beherrschende Minderwertigkeitskomplex. Deswegen projiziert der Berliner auf jeden der in irgendeiner Weise besser ist als er, massive Hassgefühle. Besonders die ihm in allen Belangen haushoch überlegenen Süddeutschen sind ihm ein Dorn im Auge. Er neidet ihnen den Erfolg und München steht ganz oben auf seiner Hassliste. Diese Stadt ist alles und hat alles was der Berliner gerne wäre und hätte. Das München dem Berliner sein Lotterleben finanziert, interessiert den Berliner nicht, er glaubt sogar insgeheim er hätte es verdient. Anstatt sich aus seiner aus Neid und Missgunst entstehenden Lethargie zu befreien und seine Stadt umzukrempeln, ergeht er sich in asozialen Schmarotzertum und hält noch große Stücke auf seine vermeintliche Weltstadt. Kulturell ist Berliner eher schwach veranlagt, große Werke liegen lang zurück. Auch gilt hier bereits das Aussprechen des Buchstaben »g« als »j« als große Kulturleistung. Fortgeschrittene beherrschen sogar das Anhängen eines »wa?« an den Ende eines jeden Satzes. Das Leistungsniveau in der Küche bewegt sich auf überschaubarem Niveau. Eine Wurst aus gemahlenem Seperatorenfleisch mit Ketchup und Currygewürz wird hier als Currywurst und als kulinarischer Geniestreich verkauft. Jeder vernünftig denkende Mensch hält eine Wurst mit Ketchup wohl kaum für den heiligen Gral der Küchenkunst und wahrscheinlich noch nicht einmal für ein Rezept. Großzügig lässt der Rest der Republik den Berliner in diesem Glauben um seine Minderwertigkeitskomplexe nicht überhand nehmen zu lassen. Wirtschaftlich ist Berlin ein einziges Desaster, selbst die späte DDR stand solider da. Ansonsten fußt die Berliner Wirtschaft auf alternativen Blogs, irgendwas mit Medien und Genderstudies wenn man den Universitäten glauben darf.

Berlin ist das Detroit Deutschlands und gehört für 200 Złoty an Polen verkauft.

I haven't read the article, and from commenters it seems the tech is far away still. However you asked about the free energy impact on Bitcoin, which can be answered or at least discussed without resort to "where" the free energy comes from, or when. It's a hypothetical, anyway. If energy was free, then everyone could mine as much Bitcoin as possible, indefinitely, for $0. However, then you hit the next bottleneck - hardware. And this has multiple facets * mains into your house/building/farm limits how much electricity you can make use of at a time. I used to get the ol' circuit breaker if I had my oven, PC and microwave on :) * even if you can ask for construction to increase that, everyone else would be doing that too, and there's only so much construction that can be done per day. Peak use possible would be gradually increasing. * efficiency of electricity -> calculations limits how much your particular GPU or ASIC or TI calculator can mine for a given input, so the better/more efficient at calculating your HW is the more hashes you can get for your given mains output.... * ....leading to people wanting more ASICs, driving chip costs up, shortages on the ASIC market that bleed into other markets that rely on chips or raw materials used in ASICs, etc. Materials are finite, but we'd probably see an allocation rebalance across impacted markets until profit equilibrium was reached (e.g. PC CPU chips get their share eaten away as people use more phones these days, up until they become too expensive for the PC market vs the price of Bitcoin and ASIC profitability) In other words, the proxy of electricity as a physical resource securing Bitcoin might be replaced by hardware. I don't see the total energy use of Bitcoin immediately skyrocketing though, because the hardware production isn't there. That's like back in the day getting a dual core CPU and expecting across the board 2x improvements, then being surprised that SSDs and DDR4 hadn't been invented yet and most applications weren't written for multithreading yet anyway ;) Just a thought.

No, what I mean is it consumes less electricity to perform the same output. Research DDR5 vs DDR4

Not gonna edit my comment, but in my mind, a more efficient algorithm is also ASIC resistant. Now. I know a bit more than the average bear about ASICs, and how nothing is really ASIC-resistant to someone with the proper knowledge and a bucket of money. But Scrypt was an early attempt at an ASIC-resistant PoW algorithm. It added the requirement to use a considerable amount of memory to it's algorithm. Large memory density is handled a bit differently than logic: it's the reason why processors still have fast caches, which run must faster than even the DDR busses in today's PCs, but those caches can't be made bug enough to run modern applications all in-cache so we still need a separate, slower memory bus. Simply adding that memory requirement makes it much harder to build Scrypt ASICs than SHA-256 ASICs. Of course, there are Scrypt ASICs now, but I still think after all these years they are not as effective as a good SHA-256 rig is at Bitcoin.

Everybody worried about increasing block size on BTC since you'll need a bigger harddrive sooner, meanwhile HBAR be like: Dual Power - 1600W minimum, 2000W recommended Network Connectivity: Single 1-Gigabit / 10-Gigabit Ethernet (physical connectivity subject to network infrastructure) 2 x Intel® Xeon® Silver 4116 Processor 12-core 2.10GHz 16.50MB Cache (85W) 256 GB PC4-21300 2666MHz DDR4 ECC Registered DIMM 2 x 240GB SSD with RAID 1 for OS Storage 5TB SSD NVMe usable storage > the Hedera mainnet will perform at a rate determined by the **lowest performing node**.

Yours is very similar to mine except you have a video card that can actually run games lol here's mine: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/d649Yg My GPU is the Gt710 2GB DDR5. I only got it because it was cheap and I'm not planning on gaming for a while. It's mainly for programming, so I opted for a ton of RAM and m.2 SSD. Also I'm running Ubuntu right now since not having windows will help me stay focused on not gaming, but I'll be dual booting when the time comes.

i7 8700 RTX 2060 32gb DDR4 I’m just using nicehash because I’m not too serious about this and it’s the easiest to use

Best experience of youtube and Reddit with zero ads! And bonus BAT on the top. Plus extra DDR to use. 👌

Shower thought : 1. Brains are human memory 2. DDR is PC memory 3. Blockchain is internet memory
