Aww I thought coinbase didn't charge anything for transferring to PayPal, while they technically don't charge a fee, they still hit you on the exchange rate from btc to cad

Oh wait I think I just hit the mark of btc dropping :lol

Edit again lol, I thought I was moving to my PayPal when all I did was send crypto to my other email omg

up up up she goes

binance being down this morning was stressing me out.. think we lost some potential gains but hopefully it catches up soon!

Tesla buys $1.5 billion in bitcoin, plans to accept it as payment

Thanks to Elon!!!! what a profitable day !!! :fuckyea:

Seems like anything that Elon mentions or buys into these days is going to the moon. This is wild!

I don't think it has set in for most people that Elon Musk is the richest man in the world.

When the richest man in the world tweets about something, yeah, it's going to cause massive movements.

Elon buying it is one thing but Tesla buying it makes this way bigger.

My risers have been lost in the mail... Tracking hasn't updated since Feb 4th, for some reason they landed in Quebec, and canadapost noted the issue, and rescheduled delivery, but no updates since then grrr

What kind of VRAM Temps are you hitting when mining? On a stock 3080, I was seeing 100C-102C. With a Core temp of roughly 61C.

Solid numbers!

What kind of cooling do you have? I've just been testing out on an Asus TUF 3080, so everything is stock atm.

Mining operation on the mid-coast with its own dam giving it over 90mw of basically free power.

That is one commute if anything goes wrong though.

They are on Mining rack. I put another 120 x 120 case fan on each of them.

So noobie question, there's a lot to comb through here and yes I can google it but I tend to always favors opinions of my fellow RSers. SO, if I wanted to start investing in Bitcoin, best site to use and or anyone know of a good noobie guide?
