Why all the fuss about ASIC resistant currencies? Even if a currency is ASIC resistant, can’t a really rich guy/company just go out and buy the most GPU’s? Sorry for any ignorance in my part, just trying to understand this concept. Thanks for any insight on this topic!

Essentially the ASIC mining rigs are created by a handful of companies. They only sell a small portion of what they make to the general public, and keep the rest for themselves. On the other hand the GPU companies are not in the mining business, so they don’t control the supply of rigs that go out to the public.

Valid point. I want to know too.

They can. But they would have to pay a lot of money to convert all those GUPs into coin. Just sourcing the GPUs it a pain. Not to mention the mobos, ram, CPUs, risers and miner frames. Then you need to put all tge kiners somewhere. Plus, it takes a ton of time to build and support miners. Mining coin is hard work.

Then you need to put all the miners somewhere (room, building, shed, etc.).

And keep them cool.

Some person down south about a month ago had a 15,000 MH altcoin mining operation they were selling on eBay for 250k. They had a buch of miners in a huge steel building.

Hi Fishes,

So will I get a chance to submit my investment declarations in the new company for tds calculations in the middle of the year ? I'm new to everything so would appreciate your help. TIA :)

Have an acquaintance who is a single mom; she purchased a used car 3 mos ago. Six wks later her 17yo wrecked it, air bags deployed, and estimates have ranged between $10-$18k in needed repairs while $21k is still owed. Acquaintance was switching insurance policies and flubbed the coverage dates and there were a few days where the vehicle was uninsured. No GAP insurance. I'm not seeing many options for her besides to continue pmts, fixing just enough to drive or voluntary repo. Thoughts?
