Etherum on the Move...

What, more Crypto talk? Yes, sorry, more crypto talk, but I'll try to keep it short. Back on July 16th I said that I thought the bear market had ended that day and we were starting a new bull market. Only time will tell if I was right because we haven't had enough time to call it a bear market.

But, in that time, Ethereum, the bellwether coin that we measure with, is already more than 50% from that date and 120%+ since June 16th (2022). There are a lot of coins that did better than that, but for a "safe" bet like Ethereum, that's a really nice move.

But, it's not too late. Ethereum makes a change on September 26th that will dramatically improve it's capabilities. I think we are going to fairly quickly see ETH return it, and pass it's all time high of $4891.70, maybe even before the end of the year.

Now there is always the chance that ETH, and all coins, will turn around and head back down for a test of the low of $876.54. But, each day that goes by, and every new resistance point we move through makes me feel better about being right about that day in June being our low.

If ETH goes where I think it is going to go, it's not too late to get in. As always, don't invest any money in Crypto that you aren't prepared to lose. There is a very real risk involved with the wild swings of Crypto, including the chance that you could lose it all. But, if you do have some "spare" change sitting around, now might be the time to put that change to work for you.

Antiminer S7 Issues and Diagnostics steps

Note, the instructions below are how I diagnosed the problem I describe. I'm providing it here in case these steps help you narrow down your issue somewhere along the way. I have an Antminer S7 (batch 8) unit that has been giving me problems. It worked fine for a week or so then started slowing down. I could hear the fan slowing down and speeding up and if I checked the web GUI of the unit I could see that “chains” 1 and 3 often had very cool temperatures, as if they weren’t even running. It would then try to get those engaged again and it would speed up and then the cycle would repeat. Eventually, over time, I’d get a high piercing alarm sound and at that point if I checked the GUI I’d see Xs in the ASIC display instead of Os (image below). Above is how it was typically running. After a while an alarm would sound and it would look like below: PSU: The first things I tried were to swap power supplies with a working unit. It’s...

IOTA - A Beginner's Guide to Why IOTA Matters

IOTA is not your typical cryptocurrency. IOTA, which typically stands for the Internet Of Things is a completely new approach to managing a blockchain. Blockchain technology is what made coins like Bitcoin (BTC) possible. BTC is just a coin that uses the blockchain technology. As I've said many times before, the "real" invention here was coming up with a blockchain that works. To show that it works they created BTC. The success of BTC is a very good indication of how well blockchains can work. Blockchains are what provide the audit trail of each transaction. It is what allows you to purchase a digital "product" and be assured that the product is authentic and that you are the only one who owns that particular product. It is what allows us to use BTC as money because it protects against counterfeiting. Blockchains do have their limitations, most notably transaction speed, and IOTA solves these limitations. This is hugely impor...
