I promise to feel guilty for at least 2 minutes - sorry
RealLife has hit me with another GRQ scheme that I am beholden to evaluate for a very good friend so I need to try to find the scam. Cos there HAS to be oneā¦
If sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is. My job for next day or two is to evaluate āalmostā

Hi frequency trading bot with high leverage Iām guessing equals great way to end up bankrupt.

I am assured on a stack of OāReilly books that we will only be using someone elses money. Right now I m trying to work out if that someone else knows about this

Dunno if this will apply, but you ever heard of the football scam.
(initial count of mailings not correct, forgot exact number but the scam idea is not based on initial number, it just has to be large enough)
- Company sent out 8 million letters
- 4 million says team A will win
- 4 million says team B will win
- Letter announces a new program costing 8000 dollars and will predict the winning team. The offer is included to buy the program
- next week 4 million letters are sent to the people who got the previous letter with the winning team (A or B)
- 2 million has team C will win
- 2 million has team D will win
- Again the offer to buy the program to predict winners is included
- next week 2 million letters are sent to the people who got the previous letter with the winning team (C or D)
- 1 million has team E will win
- 1 million has team F will win
- Again the offer to buy the program to predict winners is included
- This continues for 8 weeks in total with only sending letters to people who ever got the winning team. And removing those who already bought the program
- this is 32000 people approximately that have received 8 weeks of winners and becomes quite convincing to those people. What are the chances of predicting winners 8 weeks in a row.
- Thus a good number of those 32000 people fork out the 8000 (or was it 20000) dollars and make the promoters millionaires and total scam.
This was decades ago and took a lot of peopleās money.
The same can be done with forex scams and emails with programmed generation it is easy to buy a mailing list of millions of people who ever searched currency conversion.

I found time to start one of my Dell OptiPlex 7060 USFF / Intel Core i5-8500 / 16GB / 500GB nvme. This is the load with 120 nodes, I ordered another 16 GB of RAM and I will see if I can raise them to 250 nodes:

Theyāre capable little boxes, right? The limit is definitely storage space on the 2.5" drives. At least for used gear at a good price.
CPU wise, I reckon theyād be good for 250+ pretty easily. Even the i5 6500T in the older ones.
Iām collecting used 8GB lenovo M910Q at the moment and slapping in old 2TB 2.5" drives. A pretty good fit for 8GB RAM and they can duck under Ā£100 with the right deals.
Would be great to get in with a few corps who churn these devices and just want them gone. They could be converted into supporting the network easily!

You most certainly mean 2tb drives - right?

Yes - updated! 
To add, its a nice wee package though. Small, quiet and happily sits on/under/next to a home router.
If they were just plugin and go, it would take the setup pain and give 24x7 node running. Great for less technical folks who donāt want to mess about with this stuff.

How 120 nodes with 500GB nvme?
The network doesnāt store much data atm (relative to potential capacity), so per node storage requirement is low too.
i thought i had to keep 35GB free for each node.
how can i tell how much is being used?
Just look at how much free space you have on your hard drive. On the computer you are commenting on, 120 nodes take up 140 GB of space:

Someone at Discord estimated that 2 TB of data would cost $750 in blockchain fees. I donāt expect storage space to be an issue in the coming yearsā¦

It will be nice when storage fees go entirely to the network (miners et al) via native token rather than being consumed by blockchain tx overhead.
