It has been a very big turn around for the price of Bitcoins over the past couple of days. From a high of over a hundred and fifty pounds it has fallen to under fifty. Sadly I hadn’t ordered Magz new computer and now don’t have enough to get it till the price comes up again. That is of course if it does. Like all such things, stocks, shares, and money market speculation it is a risk you have to weigh up. Yes it is a gamble but I’m mining the coins so less so for me.
I did finally get my new graphics card. I was worried at first because it runs very hot ninety five degrees Celsius. I did some research on the net and found that it isn’t something to worry too much about unless it hits a hundred and twenty so I feel easier. I was leaving my computer on at night to work away at earning bitcoins but Magz doesn’t feel as happy with the new card being so hot so now I turn it off. I see her point and it is best to be safe.
Magz had to go to Glasgow to collect the package on the bus. She had a long walk to the sorting office after that. She was knackered by the time she got home which was after I got home. I just wish I could have gotten her that laptop ordered before the crash. Well we can’t have everything. I’ll just have to find some way to make it up to her for going all that way for me. The worst is she found out when she got there I could have paid the import tax and handling charges online then had the thing delivered in a day or two. We’ll know next time though.

My seedlings are come up. I have lettuce, basil, coriander, and carrots so far. I still have to plant some peas they are always good. There is still no sign of my corn or potatoes though I’m not concerned about the potatoes as they always take their time but the corn I thought would have started to show. Maybe the birds got to them so I might just start them off again in doors. I’ll leave it till Sunday to see as I have the day off on Monday.
Yes it’s a bank holiday this weekend so an extra day to have a long lie-in. That is of course that don’t wake up early. After getting up for so long to go to work every morning you end up finding that sleeping in of a morn is a hard thing to achieve. Strange I don’t remember having that problem when I was at school. Is it a sign of age that? Could be as I have heard that as you get older you get less sleep more often.
My package that I ordered for Magz is on the way along with my larger SSD. It will take a week or two for it to arrive as you know because it is coming from the US. At the moment it is in the sorting office in California so has a long ways to travel to get to us. Considering the distance it is amazing how quickly it will get here.
With some of the remainder of my bitcoins I ordered a couple of ASIC miners from Butterfly Labs so I can keep up with the curve of difficulty that mining is undergoing. Over time it gets harder to mine coins and with the new ASIC chips starting to be felt on the market I thought I should keep up. Sadly mine won’t be with me until at least July at the earliest as the company has a lot of back orders to fill before they get to the newer orders. Still that should keep me in the game for a bit.
