Hashing along my Voyage - My Actifit Report Card: December 15 2018
Good evening Steemians!
Phew today was quite a busy day ^o^
Managed to wake up early on my day off and started to plan my day. In a way I was kind of paranoid I would get a call from work or two… and indeed I did but, nope. I'm on vacation- somewhere in outer space XD

Renewing drivers license or identification is such a hassle. It really makes me appreciate block chain solutions. Though we're in a bare market and many projects are not in the media as much I can't wait to to tokenize more of these inconveniences and long processes.
Today was also the day I finally setup my 2080 founder's card again with new power cables. I was so delighted it was able to run graphic benchmarks like Superposition and benchmark all the algorithms on Nicehash now I'm hashing steady on 4 cards once again. I hope it holds, guess we'll find out after a few days. So far I'm seeing 0.4 to 0.6 mBTC a day (if it holds steady). I'm still only half way paying off my payments on my graphics cards before I can allow myself to get another. Dunno if I'll expand my mining operation or buy the coins. I'll decide when I have to cross that bridge. It certainly feels like a great culling on all these coins. I'm confident these coins will bounce back. This bear market was quite educational.
When I slotted in my graphics card and was running benchmarks. I was worried if my system would hold or if it'll crash. But rather waiting to find out I selected all algorithms to benchmark with my overclock profile and walked away. My mum and I went to the gym for the fourth time consecutively. Hopefully can keep the chain going
My time on the treadmill improved a lot since yesterday. Instead of 20 mins for a mile, I did it in 14 minutes. I was able to sprint for longer and faster. Though I lost of conditioning with my studies, it's a personal best for now. Today was working out the upper body. XD it hurts to extend my arms, and my abs (or lack thereof) hurt. Hopefully with good stretching I could keep the soreness at bay and keep it up. Going to the gym will certainly help get me out of the house more often.
Tomorrow will be the fifth day in a row of going to the gym. I hope to continue this trend and put in decent effort. The gym needs to be my coping mechanism for stress and not reaching for delicious, savioring foods or nummy margaritas. I hope all this effort will be worth it in 6 weeks.
As for tunes I enjoyed from my music library during my gym session. A mix from Portal 2
Let's Test - Portal 2 Remix by liltommyj
I found it to be soo catchy, I looped it a couple of times with a bit of a dance at the gym ^o^
Another was a from the remix Metroid album Harmony Of A Hunter from the OCRemix.org community
Mission Complete: Ending Suite (Metroid Album Harmony Of A Hunter) by SamoStudio
It's a wonderful arrangement that's much like a symphonic orchestra and was well suited for my victory music leaving the gym to start my errands.
I hope everyone is having a good time this weekend and have a good night
Hi there, I'm a new follower! 😃
I love what you do with these actifit reports; very interesting. I liked the Mission Complete track, nice strings. It does provide a triumphant feeling. 👍
Have a great weekend and vacation. Looking forward to your next report about the gym and your mining rig and music and anything else you share with us!

Thank very much for following my blog @kenny-crane! ^o^ I'm glad you enjoy the format and content of my actifit reports! I keep thinking personalizing them into a blog with all the things will get me in trouble and maybe banned. It's far more fulfilling than saying I did only x, y, z. Plus it provides more from for potential discussion ^0^

No worries about being banned here, it can't be done. Worst that can happen is ego bruising from some down votes but many have survived that. I hope you continue sharing music, I love that you do! And the anime drawings. 👍 I watch RWBY. Those huntresses are pretty cool. Cya in the comments section of future posts! 😎👍

Heh, I had to swat away down vote bots not to long ago. Strange that they exist o.o
I Love to share music, it's going to be pretty hard to keep track what I shared previously. But I suppose it wouldn't hurt to reprise some songs that leave a good impression ^o^
I admire anime and especially the art. Just a pitty I don't have a lot of time to follow it. Sometimes there's an opportunity to binge a whole series or two. Maybe can watch a dubbed episode or two on the treadmill lol or watch it subbed on a stationary bike XD. I think I'm two volumes behind on RWBY, I needs to catch up! Maybe that'll be my gym series lol. There's a RWBY game on steam, have you checked it out?

I just listened to the let's test track that you shared. I can understand why that would make you want to dance! Quite catchy. 🎵👍
I'm current on Rwby. Well I'm waiting for season 6 to appear on YouTube but I just checked and apparently Rooster Teeth doesn't want to put it on there due to ad issues. So I'll watch it on their website. I've seen a little news about season 6 and I think a lot is going on! I also love the theme songs, especially the one from season one which is one of my favorite anime related songs. It Rocks! 😃👍
So I think I read that you're getting your master's degree? That's very cool. Did you mention what your major was?

Edit: oh and I have seen the Rwby game on Steam. It's in my wishlist but I haven't bought it yet. I'm trying to spend my gaming time Budget on games that could possibly earn me a profit such as @Steemmonsters and EOS Knights. 💰😎
Here's hoping for more good anime and the time to enjoy it ^o^
Come January, it'll be my second semester working towards my MS in Cybersecurity. It's tough to say how long it'll take because I'm also working full time. I want to finish quickly before some unplanned circumstance happens. However, this semester has been too hard on me and I have to pace myself before I hurt myself or get sick. Finding time to enjoy life is a big thing too.

I think having a graduate degree in cybersecurity will lead to a fun and profitable career! This is something that is in demand and I'm sure you will have multiple job offers when you enter the market. Put on those shades because your future looks bright! 😎😃

Excellent achievement in making it to the gym 4 days in a row. I know you'll make it 5 tomorrow! All your talk about graphic cards and overclocking and benchmarks....whew! Very impressive! I'm sure you could give my miners an overhaul and really improve them. But since I have no skills beyond plug it in and connect to the mining pool I'm stuck with the strategy of "if it ain't broke then leave it alone!"

Thank you very much for the kind praise @blueeyes8960 ^o^ graphics cards are very versatile but I can't help but wonder where the mining community is going to go. Almost every algorithm has an asic and blows away GPUs. And FPGAs might be the next big thing but seem super complicated to set up and for many thousands of dollars each. GPUs seem very flexible and a staple for the mining. I think most of my mining time has been on Nicehash and they support many algorithms. It's almost hands off as long as overclocks and temps are managed with a different program. Sadly Nicehash takes a long time to support a new algorithm and that new alt coin could 10x or 40x before it's minable on Nicehash. I still prefer to receive and hold BTC than an Altcoin these days. At the end of the day profit is profit, I would even speculate and fancy the unrealized profits ^o^
I've seen some people submerge their Asics in mineral oil bath and Max out the overclocks. But it makes plastic brittle. I've been tempted for a long time to do a mineral oil PC but it has to be built to where there's no need to ever upgrade and it's maxed out.
Without doing something extreme, a modest overclock on Asics might be fine with stock fans and power.
