[1750.84 --> 1756.36] burst coin because it's this coin that you mine by just allocating empty hard drive space to it and it
[1756.36 --> 1762.12] doesn't seem to so in further research and actually doing it a little bit myself yeah once it's plotted
[1762.12 --> 1768.52] yeah it doesn't seem to hurt the drive okay at all um plotting though yeah you're hitting the drive
[1768.52 --> 1774.36] really hard rough yeah yeah like really rough so from talking to guys in the burst community they're
[1774.36 --> 1779.96] saying that it doesn't hurt it any more than normal use would yeah so i'm still not doing it on petabyte
[1779.96 --> 1785.64] project yeah no because i just don't even want them spinning if they don't have to be yeah um but on all
[1785.64 --> 1789.56] these like janky drives that i had sitting in literally sitting in boxes around the warehouse
[1790.36 --> 1797.00] why not might as well um so before i go for the weekend i'm gonna load up as many drives as i can
[1797.00 --> 1802.20] on that system run them through all weekend and then by sort of next week i should actually have it all
[1802.20 --> 1808.76] going so far i've made five dollars nice yeah there you go do you know how much more than that i've spent
[1808.76 --> 1817.24] on electricity a lot i don't know exactly how much but a lot you can do dynamic plotting too are you
[1817.24 --> 1824.92] going to do that uh no i'm actually not familiar with dynamic plotting dynamic plotting is uh you are
[1824.92 --> 1831.16] able to use the drive oh as you add more data to it the plot will make itself smaller no i probably
[1831.16 --> 1835.56] won't do that and you set an offset so that you have room to put stuff and then you put the stuff there
[1835.56 --> 1839.88] and then it will shrink itself we can discuss it in the video but that's like not really the approach
[1839.88 --> 1844.52] i'm taking you saw the machine i'm using no i know i'm just saying for for people that have like
[1844.52 --> 1848.60] it's already getting to the point where it's probably not that practical to try to mine with
[1848.60 --> 1853.64] just like the drive in your computer depending on the pool you join so the the difficulty so
[1854.52 --> 1861.00] okay i'll get into this in the video but the more capacity you have the easier it is to respond to a
[1861.00 --> 1867.40] job in time in sort of very very simple terms and so different pools do you know if that's on a per
[1867.40 --> 1879.00] machine basis or a per address um that's a great question wonderful question no idea okay um anyway so
[1880.44 --> 1885.80] different pools will have different thresholds for how quickly you need to be able to respond to a job
[1885.80 --> 1893.16] in order to benefit from the pool yeah because if you're just someone with like 300 megs and you're
[1893.16 --> 1900.76] like never never going to actually discover a coin because it's like each amount of capacity is kind of
[1900.76 --> 1905.40] like buying more and more lottery tickets so if you just have like a tiny tiny amount you're basically
[1905.40 --> 1910.76] just piggybacking off of the success of the big people in the pool so some pools have very strict
[1910.76 --> 1916.36] requirements for how much capacity you have to have in order to be considered a contributing member
[1916.36 --> 1920.76] and in order to allow you to join so what you could do is you could join one of those pools even if you
[1920.76 --> 1927.40] have 100 megs of data but you would just never qualify and your entries would just be rejected every
[1927.40 --> 1932.36] time you would never benefit at all hit your drive from plotting and then never and then never gain
[1932.36 --> 1938.28] anything and then there's much much looser pools that have really really long times but those ones
[1938.28 --> 1943.80] are full of a bunch of losers that you know no one like are individually going to find almost nothing
[1944.36 --> 1949.40] um so anyway right now it's kind of like a weird stage where to get the most out of it you really do
[1949.40 --> 1956.04] need a lot of drives like it's kind of transitioning that way interesting not surprised so back to cpus
[1956.68 --> 1965.40] um so amd has made a couple fundamental errors here number one is calculating roi time roi time is a flawed calculation
[1965.40 --> 1971.00] um because it is very easy to underestimate it or overestimate it you can't just look at how much
[1971.00 --> 1978.52] it's bringing in today and go yes that is going to pay for itself in amount of time x because because
[1978.52 --> 1983.80] saying it will pay for itself in amount of time x if nothing changes is just a sentence that doesn't
[1983.80 --> 1990.36] matter yeah it will change it depends when and if you cash out um it depends what currencies you're mining
[1990.36 --> 1996.84] etc etc etc etc etc etc it depends on whether you will even still be able to mine that particular
[1996.84 --> 2004.92] algorithm um nine months down the road on a cpu uh so yeah depends on a lot of stuff problem number
[2004.92 --> 2011.64] the second is that there's more to the cost of a threadripper cpu than the cost of the cpu itself
[2012.44 --> 2016.36] so threadripper motherboards are like 300 plus dollars
[2016.36 --> 2025.24] normal mining motherboards are in the neighborhood of 100 plus to around 200 for something like asus's
[2025.24 --> 2030.84] b250 mining and you're going pretty hard if you go to that yeah the other issue here is that you could
[2030.84 --> 2039.00] kind of go oh okay well threadripper is only like you know 50 so double to 50 more than a regular
[2039.00 --> 2044.92] motherboard but you can effectively make use of the cpu socket as another mining you know
[2044.92 --> 2053.08] uh node or whatever you want to call it as another miner except the problem with that is that threadripper
[2053.08 --> 2059.64] is limited to what is it seven pcie devices or eight something like that yeah so you could never have
[2059.64 --> 2069.40] a threadripper mining optimized board because you could never plug in enough gpus to account for this
[2069.40 --> 2078.28] difference in cost so while yes theoretically you could mine on threadripper you would not do that
[2078.28 --> 2083.72] if you were actually trying to build an optimized dedicated mining machine you might not be though
[2083.72 --> 2089.08] if you're picking a cpu for your home rig and you want to like mine overnight it would double your roi
[2089.08 --> 2093.80] time for one because you're not 24 7 mining but if you wanted like a beast machine cpu
[2096.20 --> 2105.16] there's another problem um yeah yeah i'm just not sold i also wonder about the power yeah power
[2105.16 --> 2108.28] uh it's probably not any worse than like remember they're comparing it to a vegas
[2108.28 --> 2117.72] no i know but but but you're taking away from your roi time yeah because power is a cost so that will
[2117.72 --> 2124.12] delay your roi time which is a screwed up thing to measure anyways i think it's a little it's borderline
[2124.12 --> 2130.84] nefarious in my opinion for a hardware company that isn't like selling asics because then who cares
[2130.84 --> 2138.68] anyways um to be like it'll pay for itself in nine months that's a little uh i'm not super stoked on
[2138.68 --> 2147.64] that personally all right putting its like hash rates up and stuff is fine maybe even if they do an
[2147.64 --> 2153.96] article on like this is why you need l3 cache yeah cpu might that makes makes a lot of sense it's like a
[2153.96 --> 2158.92] blog post because a lot of people don't understand l3 cache anyways yep so if you're like look this is a
[2158.92 --> 2166.20] practical application that needs a bunch of it um that would be an interesting blog post all right
[2166.20 --> 2173.80] some random youtube channel or website or a podcast or whatever picked that up and was like oh my goodness
[2173.80 --> 2178.76] you can mine with cpus that's fine because that's someone else doing that so you bought this yeah
[2178.76 --> 2193.00] is this even legal here okay technically 100 yes uh-huh it actually making it here i'm gonna give it
[2193.00 --> 2199.16] like a 50 chance uh-huh my hope is that if they reject it i can just tell them to ship it somewhere
[2199.16 --> 2205.80] else uh-huh and then i'll just send it to my grandpa's or something and he can get rid of scorpions
[2205.80 --> 2214.68] with it 20 000 flamethrowers fire 500 us dollars um they sold them within a couple of days yeah thanks
[2214.68 --> 2222.20] twitch subscribers um because they took paypal here's the caption here don't do this also i want
[2222.20 --> 2226.68] it to be clear that a flamethrower is a super terrible idea definitely don't buy one unless you
[2226.68 --> 2233.40] like fun that's kind of lame i hadn't actually seen it fire yet that's really that's a really short
[2233.40 --> 2240.52] yeah it's short burst okay which a lot of people were like oh that's because of laws and
[2241.96 --> 2248.44] apparently basically nowhere has regulations on so one of the reasons why flamethrowers are not illegal
[2248.44 --> 2257.08] in places yeah is because uh people use them as like weed destruction torches basically uh-huh and
[2257.08 --> 2261.24] that's apparently really common in like a lot of farmland and stuff which you think oh that's gonna
[2261.24 --> 2266.12] start a forest fire apparently no because they just like do it properly and stuff i don't know but yeah
[2266.12 --> 2273.64] there's there's no regulations around it in canada there is not a single beep about it in the firearms act
[2273.64 --> 2278.28] uh it's it's apparently completely allowed i even looked up import and custom stuff and there's
[2278.28 --> 2283.32] import and custom stuff about knives because i was talking about how i like switch blades yeah
[2283.32 --> 2288.12] switch blades and stuff and i was talking about how i like um like pocket knives on my stream once so
[2288.12 --> 2292.60] someone sent me one and it got grabbed by customs and customs was like we're keeping this forever
[2292.60 --> 2297.16] screw you and i was like oh okay well nothing i can do about that so i looked it up and yeah there's
[2297.16 --> 2301.56] all the stuff about knives there's tons of stuff about guns there's ways to do it properly with both of
[2301.56 --> 2306.28] them because stores can do it you just can't do it personally and you can let you have to set up as an
[2306.28 --> 2313.24] entity to be able to import it and blah blah blah blah nothing for flamethrowers so theoretically
[2313.24 --> 2320.60] it's coming atf says any flamethrower with a flame shorter than 10 feet 10 feet is a-okay
[2321.80 --> 2327.40] our design is max fun for least danger i'd be more scared of a steak knife
[2327.40 --> 2340.44] this guy is such a troll yeah like he's such a troll so i want to cook with it if i don't know what type
[2340.44 --> 2346.76] of fuel it takes so i don't know if that's possible um if it takes the right kind of fuel i want to
[2346.76 --> 2353.80] it's like propane or something like no i think propane wait no you can with propane you can't with uh
[2353.80 --> 2359.32] whatever tiki torch isn't no no no but tiki torches are like an oil what fuel is that okay oh yeah yeah
[2359.32 --> 2365.48] no that's gonna be that i mean i'm not an expert but it but it looks like it could be a propane flame to
[2365.48 --> 2372.52] me it's very blue i don't see any reason why that would not be a propane flame especially because that
[2372.52 --> 2383.40] would make it really uh really cheap and really easy to um to refuel okay blah blah blah blah blah
[2385.48 --> 2389.96] sale drew criticism from a california politician who said he would introduce legislation aimed at
[2389.96 --> 2394.36] banning the flamethrowers we don't allow people to walk in off the street and purchase military
[2394.36 --> 2398.76] grade tanks or armor piercing ammunition i cannot even begin to imagine the problems a flamethrower would
[2398.76 --> 2403.80] cause firefighters and police officers with that said this is hardly a military grade tank or armor
