Misc

ico scams - the new shitcoin without a coin

pump and dumps

BCH forks -tomorrow?
-- Might be playing a part in the BTC dive.
-- 0800 PST trading will hault for the fork.

other forks? where can we track them all? might be a good forum topic.

BTC price dive - China flexes
-- BTC is the Crypto "Reserve" currency
-- Why the dive? China shutting down mining to flex it's power and control over the markets.
-- You could look at it like "Crypto is on sale!" In the buy low and sell high game, now could be the time to buy...
-- "Big Money" is still in the game... no reason to run at the moment.

we need the linux distribution tree only for coin forks

Most important stat is hash/watt.

Hardware corner

nVidia Security Flaw (Link below)
-- Not something to be worried about as miners. nVidia will patch with new drivers.
