OMG Jet Cash you need some Marie Kondo let go of that stuff! JK--- but my friends swear by her.
I've been in my RV full time for almost 2 years and had considered setting up a rig again when considering setting up solar.
Solar systems are not cheap (ha "solar systems" :-)), miners are typically power hungry, throw off a lot of heat and do better when consistently connected.

Reading this thread made me crave a BigMac but I'm a half hour from town
so I might have to settle for a nice glass of Port :-)

Ha! No worries Jet Cash, this little rig is lucky to get 7 mpg so no unscheduled cruzing. I'm currently around the California central coast (lots of vegetable/fruit stands:-)).

Never had fried pizza, now it's on the to do.
A mobile Pellet stove, never heard of it. No propane heater buddies out your way? Either way make sure to install a carbon monoxide alarm.
I've been full time for almost 2 years and it's comfortable because I have just about everything a house does +some.
Usually hooked up to shore power (electric) and full hookups (water/sewer) with the propane for the fridge kicking in when I'm on the road and the alternator charging the back-up battery bank for short term "off grid"
LOL to the hammer...hide it from yourself because the fan noise might get to you after awhile and depending on the miner...it will sound alarms when offline :-)
Try mining in a pool ---> lots of how tos on this forum.

Just poking my head through the door to see what’s going on in this thread. I’m bored so thought I’d take a look.

I’ve got a log burner (you can put coal in it too) in my living room Jetty, it really, really heats the room up in the winter. Was a life saver last year but this year the winter has been quite mild.

I would put a photo on but I’ve added pics to FB & I don’t want anybody reverse google imaging or finding out who I am etc.

We had a CO tester fitted too, it’s never gone off though.

Mine has a tester built in and it still scares the crap out of when I push it 

As you add more weight to the van, you will start exceeding what could be handled by the standard lifts in most garages. I used to work in an auto repair shop---thankfully because my guys will take care of basic things for the RV in a pinch---such as not charging me the $185-- it would cost for a basic oil change at a place like Camping World. In the future you can check out truck shops---basic mechanic shops (especially corporate owned) are not going to want to take on the added risk of something "out of the ordinary".
I'm a horrible cook, I finally disconnected the smoke alarm last year: it's 9 volt and hardwired.---> living dangerously :-))
It sucks to be stuck----hope they can resolve your issue soon

I can't really give you trading advice, any money I made doing that was by "luck" ---having much fun and before FinCen stuff fully went into effect.
You could just move in and out of exchanges, each one adding new cryptos---if China said they were banning, prices were dropping,  people were freaking out --->you bought :-)
I never took my eyes off of bitcoin wisdom for long and watched too many regulatory meetings.
Thanks to the forum: I didn't lose anything on MTGox, didn't pre-order a butterfly labs Monarch and only lost a little bit of Doge, Nxt and a dusting of bitcoin on Cryptsy.



this little mining calculator was one of the easiest

there were a few with ROI... cost of electricity   … bs ...bs :-) but alloscomp never steered me wrong.

1 sat for the military green gas tank if it ain't leaking.

Bear with my following stream of consciousness - there's a rational thought in there somewhere, I promise.

I've always though it strange that we say it takes 10, 30, 60 minutes for bitcoin to confirm like it's a bad thing, or like that is particularly slow. I think it's a failing of grammar on our part. Let's compare crypto with a credit card. I eat a meal and pay by credit card. It takes a minute or two with a card machine, and then my transaction is paid, right? Nope. My transaction has reached the credit card company's servers. It will take several days before the money actually reaches the restaurant's bank account. In that time, a lot of things could happen. I could call up and dispute the charge. I could claim my card was lost or stolen. I could claim I was defrauded. I could max my card out and not have the funds to pay it. Etc. Etc. There's loads of things that could happen in those three days that would leave somebody, either the restaurant or the credit card company, out of pocket for my meal.

Now, compare that to paying with bitcoin. I eat a meal and pay with bitcoin. It takes 20 seconds for me to open my wallet and scan the QR code. My transaction is immediately broadcast. In 20-30 minutes (usually, depending on the fees, block frequency, etc, but certainly nowhere near 3 days), my bitcoin reaches the restaurant's wallet. What can I do in those 30 minutes to stop that transaction happening? Launch a 51% attack on bitcoin for the sake of 50-100 bucks? Laughable really.

An unconfirmed bitcoin transaction is both a lot more secure and a lot more rapid to "confirm" than an "unconfirmed" credit card transaction. I think we as a community don't do a great job of explaining that to people. 20-30 minutes is lightning (pardon the pun) fast compared to credit cards, and a lot more difficult to reverse once broadcast.

So to answer your question, they probably don't wait for confirmations. Once a transaction has been broadcast, and you can see it's not been broadcast with 0 fee, you are quite safe to move on, provided it's for an everyday sum of money. If you are selling cars or real estate, then sure, wait for some confirmations first.

You can certainly use replace-by-fee to change the target address of a transaction, by RBF is dependent on the sender setting nSequence to less than MAX-1. The merchant can make a stipulation that they won't accept transactions which are opted in to RBF, and if someone sends one anyway, they can refuse to accept it until it has confirmed.

There's great info about RBF here: https://bitcoincore.org/en/faq/optin_rbf/. I'd also draw your attention to the paragraph "Why aren’t unconfirmed transactions safe?"

As I said, it's not impossible to double spend an unconfirmed transaction, but for small value things like groceries or a meal (or strippers), it just isn't worth the effort and would be a lot easier to scam with a credit card. Of course, if you are sending or receiving what you would deem a "non-trivial" amount of money, then wait for some confirmations first.
