I see a new wave of it coming.

At this point miners will just consolidate their currency into smaller groups with more of it. So they will become the new centralized power over the crypto market. Its going to become as rich and wealth based as normal markets. If you have it you can get more but if you have none you cannot get in.

@LAwLzUm you also realize almost NO miners of serious level are using 1 card. Their using 4, 8,12,36,256 etc. Their using HUGE numbers.

China limits how much of your wealth "determined by them" can leave the country.

Another thing to remember, is tape drives compressed data can go up to 30TBs in some cases. BUT magnetic tape CAN degrade over time and is SLOW to read. Plus not every new system can normally handle tape drives so if you can do optical drives it's much easier to use on more modern systems. Also if more compact as stated before storage becomes much less an issue. Also possibly cost. 2.5TB 5 pack of IBM tapes is almost 125 bucks and thats on the lower side of some of them. If this optical is less that could significantly help.

Parts yes but not the government and not the number of larger heavily populated cities. Parts of the US are super rural. Again this is syaing because parts of a state are not technological hubs none of it is.

Its a mistake made by those who keep thinking China is some backwater country and do not realize it is a very big global player. We need to respect what China CAN do and has done. Not pretend like their still some farming community.

The Chinese government has a capable military and has been proven to hack US companies before to steal intellectual property. So its not blaming rice farmers its blaming the government which has proven over and over it wants the secrets and IP of other states to bolster itself. Its fairly openly stated in many ways it rather not have foreigners at all ever but be the most advanced state ever and have power. It wants it all. Its making a concerted effort now to push foreign workers and such OUT of china by delaying passport/visa extensions so they get deported. Paperwork that once took maybe weeks takes months now. new hoops are added and stricter regulations. Also why they cap how much moeny can be sent by private citizens out of country for any reason.

Sadly most companies outsource IT now to overseas groups to cut costs. So their physical IT departments are much smaller. Rely on more external systems not in their control. Azure or AWS are common.

It only DOES something aka make you money if people believe it does. Bit coin nor ethereum give me a service. They are simply "mine this make money." Thats literally it. Alot ofp laces pulled back on accepting bitcoin too because it fluctuates too much. Costs laot to do transactions and moniter price.

Its technology has not really gotten into many places after the past few years. A few companies began experimenting with blockchain for stuff but thats since stopped being a big thing. Fact is this is really just now about getting rich. POS will basically centralize it anyways into those who have the most of it. Once this happens you have defacto centralization.

Trouble is people want get rich quick and easy ideas. In this case POS is the logical step for those trying to secure their gains and lock out others. And not just etherium has thought about it. Many have figured it'd be great. All it means however is those with the most of a specific currency get the most of it. It centralizes it which was supposed to be the thing these coins did not have.

I believe bitcoins more asics now. So GPUs are not gonna do great. In the end this is what I said it was. Mining is a get rich quick scheme the scheme just ending for new comers now. its about who has moeny makes money.

Fine then I dont have to buy from them and get to encourage others not to. Not my job to give them ROI.

Well my issue is my GTX 1080 WILL eventually break and once that occurs my PC is useless. Ryzen has no built in graphics so my rig will become unusable. Its gonna turn 4 years old this year. How many years can I run it before it breaks? Also if this is the attitude fine then I say never buy from miners deny them money. They bought the card why should I give them my money for a card they used? I am sorry my desire to buy a new card after having waited for so long offends people. Also why do Miners need the most efficient card by your logic why can't they be fine with less money made?

You would think this would be the logical response. But apparently for twitter...not so much? Me it'd go like this. child under age of adulthood, and sexual content...yeah gonna say thats a BIG BIG FAT bag of NOPE! *insta ban*

I stated we own them if you bothered to read.

I work for the company I am rather aware of what's going on.

No we have to pay NBC/universal still

Company does but regulations mean we cannot impose priceso n them they still negotiate with us. As per the rules of the acquisition.

theres not much revenue from TV overhead on it is stupid high. Content providers demand more money every year. Company wants more internet revenue its WAY more profitable than Tv ever was.

working for the company I can tell you TWo of the modems we send out the XB6 and XB7 are 3.1 modems. Also XB7 has 802.11AX. as to the cap expansion after signals of degrading the use of caps I suspect its a revenue gen set up. TV has not been our core buisness nwo for years and never will be due to high overhead from the channel content owners. But covid has cost the company ALOT. We been deploying been for months to Work from home or as its called internally "Virtual." Upgrades continue and still cost money afewp rojects to fix the disparity with upload speeds was tested in florida and hopefully will go nation wide. But trust me upgrades are occurring just...nothings going smoothly since feb. To give an idea, we typically plan to upgrade for what we think we will need in 18 months...this made our projects more like what we expected in 3 to 5 YEARS once everyone piled into their homes. So upgrades planned are not making enough impact cause they were not for this level of need.

at this rate I'm more likely to believe security advice given by Binkov! Before I buy what the governments selling. For those who don't know. This is Commissar Binkov
