Waiting for Money to Come in.

I'm just waiting for some money to come in so I can to Colorado and California to prospect for gold.
My crypto mining operation isn't working very well. I got the new graphics card but it doesn't work well with any of my computers. I think the memory and such is just too slow.
As it is, I'm making about $1.00/day with my operation. That's probably as good as it gets without spending much money on new computers and such.
On other news. My coin sold and I'll have about $7,000 from it's sale.
I'll be using the money to finance my prospecting trip. I plan on starting an "LLC" company so if I go bust again at least it will be the business that's bankrupt and not me.
That's a mistake I made in 2015. I went heavily in debt because of the trip to California.
I'm going to do things differently, this time. I'll be living out of my van instead of living in motels and apartments.
Before I go West I'll try to find gold near here.
I intend to keep my expenses down; I should do better.
We'll see.

I Need a Goal

I was reading something that was talking about how goals animate people it made me think about how goal-less I am.
I kept busy for a while, starting my crypto mining operation, but now that it's going, I don't have anything to occupy my time.
The mining farm isn't really making much money but it's going to take some real money to improve it.
It'll have to wait until after I get my money from the sale of the rare coin. That'll be after May 11th.
I bought a graphics card that should improve my mining when I thought I had money coming from the sale of the coin right away. Now, I'm wondering how I will meet my bills for this month.
I'm hoping for more snow this weekend. I'm afraid it's too late in the season for me to make much more money shoveling snow but anything will be appreciated.
Everything is on hold until I get that check.
I'm hoping to visit the East Coast and tour some Civil War battlefields.
After that, I'll go west and pan gold for a while.
Before going to California, I'm going to try to find gold around here. I'll be going to a small town named Eldorado and see if I can find rocks with gold in the and then crush the rocks to pan them out.
I doubt if I'll find much but it would be better than running all over the country to search for gold.
Maybe I'll get back to you.

I haven't been posting much so my numbers are down.

I simply haven't had much to say lately so I haven't posted much. Because of that my numbers of viewers is down as well.
I need to get off of my butt and post more often.
My expensive coin sold in Baltimore but I haven't been paid yet.
I was a bit disappointed at the price and the auction company took a lot more money than I expected but at least I'll be able to pay my bills.
I'm going to use the money to buy gold at a company named "Gold Money". I'll be able to keep it in several different vaults around the world and transfer the value to a debit card; so I'll have access to my money without having to keep it in dollars.
I'm too leary  of cryptocurrencies to buy any now. They are being manipulated by the futures traders. I'll get back into that market, later.
My crypto mining is proceeding but the declining prices in the currencies is hurting me. I'm mainly in a currency named Monero. It's big on privacy. It's also easy to mine.
I gave away one of my laptops and one broke so I'm down to 2 laptops and 6 desktops. Two of my desktops are 32 bit machines instead of 64 bit; and I haven't been able to get the 32 bit machines working with my mining software.
I did get some of my desktops working with GPU mining software.
I was disappointed with my GPUs. They are just too old and slow to be any better than the CPUs.
Newer GPUs cost at least $50 apiece.
I'm waiting for my Social Security check or payment for the expensive coin to arrive before I spend anything on Ebay.
I might just scrap my 32 bit machines and see if I can pick up some 64 bit machines at the recycling place in a small town named Freeport (that I used to live at).
Most of the machines I have now are just to old and slow to use for mining crypto.
There's a lot going on in the news, lately.
Apparently the pedos are being exposed and the "Deep State" is under attack.
I hope they all go to jail.
I'm concerned about the currency but it seems to hold together much better than I thought possible.
All I can do about the currency is to buy more freeze dried food and try to get a trailer and homestead together.
I decided to get a cargo trailer to live in while I pan for gold and set up a homestead. It's cheaper than a camper-trailer and I can modify it any way I want.
I think I'll run by "Campsite RVs" and look at some today. It would be a good use of my time.

Working on miners and spinning my wheels

I've been busy working on my crypto miners. I've got 10 machines and I'm not getting much return in crypto.
I haven't been able to get any GPU mining working with my cards, software, and computers. I'm doing everything as cheaply as possible and it's not working.
I have been able to get every machine I have working but they are too old and my graphics cards are to old to really do anything with; but Ill keep trying.
Tonight, I'm taking a hard drive out of one of my more useless machines and putting it into my most hopeful machine. I almost had it working with one of my minergate software.
I hope that I'll be able to get it going with the latest graphics card drivers and maybe some older mining software. I'll just keep playing around with this stuff until I get something to work.
On a different topic, the auction for the rare coin that my brother gave me is this week. I'm really anxious about it.
It'll sell about 6:30 this Thursday night. I'll be watching it at Java Johns. Brian said that if I get a lot of money I'll have to buy him a latte. I hope I'm so rich that I'll buy him a bagel as well. He's getting a little skinny so it will be good to get him some food.
It's dinner time, I'm sorry I haven't posted anything lately.

Snow Day

I made some money, shoveling snow today. It didn't really snow that much but it kept at it; so at one of my places I had to shovel twice.
I figure I made about $70. Which was much needed.
I'm still working on my crypto mining farm. I've gotten 8 machines mining with their CPUs.
It would be better to use graphics cards but I'm just not that far advanced, yet. Every time I plug an additional graphics card in my monitor goes blank. I guess the new card takes over the image and it disables the on-board graphics.
I ordered an adapter for the video from China. I hope it gets here soon.
I'll also have to have appropriate software for mining. I can download something for Linux for free and I'll do that next week. I suspect that I'll need some sort of wiring adapters as well. We'll see.
I was surprised to see that people are using laptops for graphics card mining. It'll cost $100 or so to make that work but it should be worth it.
I just hope I don't end up getting into trouble for using too much electricity. My electricity is included as part of the rent and I don't want to mess with that.
By the way, I'm on Steemit, now. In my first two postings I've made over $2.00. It's taken me 5 or 6 years to make $10 on Blogger. And I have to wait until I have over $100 here to actually withdraw it.
I think I'll just transfer to Steemit and I like the idea of getting paid in crypto currency, as well.
The only machine I haven't been able to get to work says that it's limiting the memory to 256 meg. Nick said that maybe the machine is so old that it can only use 256 meg.
I don't know. I think I may simply have the wrong ram modules in it.
I can't tell much about this machine. I think it was assembled at a local computer shop. Maybe the motherboard ill have a name on it. That would help. If I can tell which motherboard it is, I should be  able to find out what kind of ram it takes. I'll do that tomorrow. It's late now so I think I'll call it a day.
