Computer randomly stops giving a signal, sometimes doesn’t boot

Hey all, I’ve got a computer running windows 10 that I run a plex server and occasionally do some Bitcoin mining from. One day in my clumsiness I bumped the power cable that was plugged into my GPU. The screen attached to the GPU by HDMI flickered once and then came back. I did some maintenance on the plex account and then turned off the screen.

A couple days later I was going to check on some things again and when I turned on the screen it told me there was no signal coming from the computer. I checked the HDMI connections at the GPU and screen and they were fine. Couldn’t get the computer to respond to anything (it wasn’t in sleep mode or anything), so I finally force shutdown.

When I tried to reboot, it stayed on the boot screen for a few minutes (I’m running windows 10 off a SSD so usually doesn’t take more than 30 seconds). Then the screen read “no signal”. Couldn’t get the computer to respond, pressed my bios button to try and force it into that, nothing appeared.

So I force shutdown again, rebooted, pressed bios button, looked through information there. Computer was reading everything fine, as there should be no issues. Left bios screen and rebooted, still no signal. Finally, I tried to boot for a third time and it worked exactly how it should and brought me to my login.

I logged in and the computer was running normally again. I tried to go into the event logger to see if it gave any information on what happened, but I say nothing of note. (I don’t know how or what to read in the event logger anyway).

So now continues the cycle of the computer just randomly stops giving a signal to the screen, won’t respond, I reboot, sometimes it boots immediately, sometimes it doesn’t. This is getting frustrating because with the Plex server, I want the computer to be on as much as possible and also be available for me to do some maintenance as needed.

So final question: Could me bumping the power cable shorted either my GPU or Motherboard causing the computer to stop giving signal at times? What are my next troubleshooting steps to determine which it is?

1) Invest only what you can lose

Bitcoin is a young market with great future or just a bubble ? Nobody knows. Don’t be crazy and play safe. Don’t risk money you can’t afford to loose. Always be aware of the risk.

2) Respect the $BTC

For us, the only interest at Trading Alts is to accumulate $BTC. Forget the flipenning for the moment. “The Flippening” refers to the possible future event when other coin overtakes Bitcoin. Respect the boy, it’s the king of the party. $BTC can break old $ALTs pattern in hourly move.

3) Great entry is the emotional key

When you make a trade, you focus on the profit. Best way to find a great profit and great risk ratio is to respect an entry. Don’t FOMO due to a green candle. Respect our strategy, and buy on technical indicators. Sometimes, $BTC volatility is the best way to touch our entry.

4) 10 % is the new 1000 %

Stay away from 2017 charts. 100 % in a day is possible when manipulation but you are not a whale. Stay calm, 10 % for a little fish seems better than your yearly high with your banker. Protect your capital is the key.

We are not psychanalysts, but which do you prefer? Miss a 100% pump after protecting first10 % or loose your first 10 % gain expecting a 100 % move ? You got the answer …

It’s better to surf 10 small waves than to wait for a big wave which will never come. In addition success spiral is essential in crypto.

5) Protect your capital : use Take Profit & trailing Stop Loss

It’s essential to protect your capital, limit losses and increase gains. Never sleep without a Stop Loss or Take Profit.

Trailing Stop Loss

The Trailing Stop Loss, TSL, is a feature that designed to help you follow the uptrend and protect earnings. System adjusts your Stop Loss price every time the price touches a new high. If prices goes up, your SL goes up.

Trailing Take Profit

The Trailing Take Profit (TP) is a feature that designed to help you catch the rise. The best way to increase your profits as much as possible. Stay smart, don’t use it on low volume coin.

6) Don’t fall in love with a coin

We was $ICX lover. It was a tragic romantic story. We all had the love of a project or a team. Some projects seem more attractive, more solid. You are never safe from an exit scam. Your amazing CEO could leave the ship to go and defend the polar bears.

7) Your Paid Group Leader is not the Good Samaritan

Guys, stay serious, if you find a gold mine, consider digging or selling pickaxes ? Personally, we will dig alone. This is also the case for your Group Leader. Okay, most of them seems legit … but you will be more legit if you read about technical indicators, fundamentals, blockchain technology.

The best way is to check chart everyday & read content about blockchain. Use paper-trading to manage your risk.

8) Time is money

If the NBA Players hope to win in the money time, in crypto Money is Time. Be Patient. Stay confident on our strategy. Bull Market is harder to manage than Bear Market due to impatience and frustration. You can’t make a 10 % move everyday.

9) You are a trader not a poker player

All In is not legit … If you knew how many times we were sure of a pump … with nothing behind. Stay humble, in this market. This market is not guaranteed. Just learn to manage the risk ratio.

10) Respect 9 previous Tips

It’s the end of article. You have already forgotten half of tips. Before each position, just ask yourself WHERE …

Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) issues the first cryptocurrency license

Last November, the SFC unveiled new rules for regulating cryptocurrency exchanges in the region. Then OSL Digital Securities Ltd became the only company to apply for a license.

On August 25, the SFC tentatively approved an application for a license of a digital asset trading platform operator, but the company had a number of undisclosed conditions to meet.

And today, December 15, a press release was issued by BC Technology Group, of which OSL is a member, which states that it has finally obtained a license that allows the company to conduct regulated brokerage and automated digital asset trading services. In addition to Hong Kong's licenses, OSL has also applied to the Monetary Authority of Singapore for a digital asset license under the Payment Services Act.

First of all, the news is interesting because institutional investors will get access to trading Bitcoin, Ethereum and security tokens. This event is expected to generate interest from industry players to join the market.

Senator-Elect believes if fiat currency fails Bitcoin will come to the rescue.

In the recent episode of the podcast ‘What Bitcoin Did’ Cynthia Lummis, United States Senator-elect said:

“If we reach the point where we have overspent so much that things start crashing down, the black swan event occurs with regard to any fiat currency — whether it’s ours or yours or China’s or Japan’s — that there is a backstop available to every government in the world, and that backstop is Bitcoin.”

She also added

“Increase the understanding in the Senate about Bitcoin, what it is, what it does, how it can be an asset that can grow and develop as an adjunct, so basically alongside our fiat currency, and that it should be allowed a clear path and avenue — an interstate highway in fact — to grow and develop alongside our fiat currency.”

Is RGB a new blockchain?

No.
Even taking into account the fact that RGB is based on bitcoin transaction graph (which, in turn, is based on bitcoin timechain), RGB itself is not a 'blockchain'. It’s a form of a DAG, where you don’t have the data on a complete state of the network, ever. From the moment you create a smart contract and transfer the state to some other party, you have neither the control over that state (only the new state owner has it), nor the information on how that state actually evolved.

‌For example, as an asset issuer you will never know, who are the owners of your issued assets. When you assign the state of the asset to some bitcoin transaction output, you don’t know which output it is, because the party that receives that data, provides you with the information about transaction output, blinded with random data. Taking into account that you don’t know that random data used for blinding, you can’t say which output you are paying to or transferring some rights to.

‌This is very different from the blockchain-based smart-contract paradigm, where you store the complete history of the blockchain. This is why we say that RGB is a partial-state smart-contract system (the first of its kind). It is still globally consistent, not contradicting the fact of this state partiality, due to the usage of single-use seals that enable reaching consensus on state validation. As a user, whenever I receive some state into my ownership and even without knowing the whole state of the system, I am still able to validate: - that this state of the system was not faked - that it has been uniquely committed - that there were no double spending events (even up to genesis of the asset issuer).

Social consensus on the client-side validation rules also makes it possible to be sure that every further owner of the asset will apply the same validation rules as I do. How? Every asset/state validation rules are defined by Schema at genesis level, meaning that every further owner of the asset still uses the same Schema to validate the history against. Thus, here Schema is actually the means to guarantee the social consensus on the validation.
