Electric cars will be the future this is clear, but at the moment they are expensive and in case you need to replace some parts for example the windshield is 5-10 times more expensive than for a classic car, at least in the case of Tesla model 3 changing the windshield costs over 1000 Euro.
But you are not going to pay for it right unless you don't have Insurance for your car.  Look at the maintenance cost not the spare parts. While you are at it, COUNT how many parts are used in a typical ICE vs en EV. It is baffling people are so blind to even notice this. Take a look at the inside of the typical ICE, then look inside the EV, note the simplicity. This matters in the long run. The Tesla barely uses some oil for the driving wheel and the (much fewer) moving parts, while the others have gazillion pieces that degrade and need to be replaced periodically: separate types of oil, filters, hoses, sparks, water, fuses, etc, etc, etc. An people dare to insinuate an EV is more pollutant, as if the EVs were leaking oil and fuel (and fumes) all over the place and not the other way around... The windshield for the Tesla 3 might be more expensive, but that is because that particular car has long windshield like the modern Volkswagen. If you want cheaper parts, get a simpler car from another brand or just another model (eg. used S vs 3). |

Hmm, i hope they teach SI prefixes at school in your country It means Exa, its what comes after Peta, which comes after Tera, which comes after Giga, which comes after Mega, which comes after Kilo... Ever seen memory or disk drive sizes? Its the same. 1 Exa = 1000 Peta. Technical answer: EHs = Exahashes per second. Bitcoin's entire network hashrate is currently about 124 EHs, most of it from Chinese pools... |

Yes it will sense the change. If you don't want to install it to the miner's NAND, you would need individual microSD cards for each.

There are no jumpers in the S17. It boots from it if you insert an sd card.

The R4 was essentially 2 S9 boards rearranged for better (vertical) airflow. The scrolling fan its most distinct feature, i think makes a very good silent heat spreader for winter.
Unfortunately nobody else has shown interest in this concept, the living room miner.
Sure, you can always run a regular S9 at low power using Braiins OS (even using a single fan), but i think the wider aperture of the R4 makes for a better spreader. A shame, really.

The 20.09 release is live now. It adds support for the S17 and S17pro; There are also some minor bugfixes for the S9 family (supported models are still the S9, S9j and S9i only). In addition, those mining in Slushpool with Braiins OS+ will not pay any pool fees this month. That's right, its 0. The dev fee remains at 2%.
Here is a little something for those of you who wanted to make monitoring tools for bosminer: ############
BOSminer API
############
*****
Usage
*****
Basic subset of the upstream cgminer API as well as several
new commands are implemented.
To test API, you can use `nc` in the following way *(replace the *IP_ADDRESS* placeholder with your miner's IP address)*:
**Single command**
echo '{"command":"pools"}' | nc IP_ADDRESS 4028
In case you want to format JSON string, you can use `jq`:
echo '{"command":"pools"}' | nc IP_ADDRESS 4028 | jq .
**Multiple commands**
echo '{"command":"version+config"}' | nc IP_ADDRESS 4028 | jq .
**Command with parameter**
echo '{"command":"asc","parameter":0}' | nc IP_ADDRESS 4028 | jq .
******************************
List of all supported commands
******************************
=============================
Commands from the CGminer API
=============================
We provide only brief description of the commands below. If interested in additional
details, please read the official documentation. https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/API-README
* **asccount** - The details of a single ASC number N in the same format and details as for DEVS
* **asc** *|N* - The number of ASCs
* **config** - Some miner configuration information
* **devdetails** - Report per chain configuration
* **devs** - Each available ASC with their details
* **edevs** *[|old]* - The same as devs, except it ignores blacklisted devices and zombie devices (unless the "old" parameter is used)
* **pools** - Report pool configuration and statistics
* **summary** - The status summary of the miner
* **stats** - Each device or pool that has 1 or more getworks with a list of stats regarding getwork times
* **version** - Print API and BOSminer version
* **estats** - the same as stats, except it ignores blacklisted devices and zombie devices
* **check** - checks, whether the API command exists and is accessible
* **coin** - coin mining information
* **lcd** - short status summary of the miner
* **switchpool** *|N* - switches the selected pool to the highest priority
* **enablepool** *|N* - enables the selected pool
* **disablepool** *|N* - disables the selected pool
* **addpool** *|URL,USR,PASS* - adds pool
* **removepool** *|N* - removes pool
**Note**: the commands *switchpool*, *enablepool*, *disablepool*, *addpool* and *removepool* are not fully implemented in Braiins OS. The outcome of these commands is reset after restart and they do not activate the pools. This is a known issue and is being fixed.
============
New commands
============
* **fans** - Report fans statistics
* **tempctrl** - Report temperature control configuration
* **temps** - Report temperature data
* **tunerstatus** - Report tuning statistics

Sounds over complicated. Its simple: Buyer pays shipping, the shipping company picks it up and delivers it. Its usually by ground/sea yes, since its usually pallets of the stuff. From the US it would take about a week.
Electricity price here is so low often people joke about it being "free". It isn't, but is a fraction of the USD ¢ (much much lower than 1¢ the Kw/H). Because of hyperinflation, tomorrow is already half the price as the State owned electric company takes too long to increase the rates to compensate. The electric grid is not in good shape from years of negligence, so not all is rosy.
My acquaintance is doing oil immersion to S9s, he often goes to kaboomracks or ebay. Has some old Avalons and assorted stuff too.

My R4 does not have that little fan, Is this a mod or it came like that in some other batch?
One of the hashboards is damaged but the other one is still working to this day, in a living room like it was intended to do...

The profiles are saved (even during the process) to /etc/bosminer-autotune.json. If the process is interrupted, it does resume from where you left. If it finishes (shows Stable), it will do a quick checkup and use it if you reboot or power cycle. Should take about 2 mins and tells you that it loaded the profile saved at date x. Miner > Overview, Tuner Status, Status.
You can also connect to your miner using sftp (ie. filezilla) and copy this file, inspect it, etc. It saves hashboards ids, and you want that because no two boards are identical, chip yield and state of chips varies from each of them. It is the job of the autotuning algorithm to find out the best efficiency for each of the 63 chips on the 3 boards, which is why it takes so long finding the best values within the powerlimit you set, and keeps supervising in case conditions change later.
S17 and S17pro owners that have been waiting for Braiins OS+, get ready for tomorrow... T17, S17+ and S17+ to follow at a later date.

I think it is necessary to include gold and silver in this ranking. Any ranking that compares Bitcoin to money needs to include them. This strengthens the idea that Bitcoin is also an excellent store of value.
While I agree that it's more accurate for bitcoin to be compared to gold, the topic is about comparing bitcoin to other currencies though(obviously gold is not a currency), not necessarily other assets in general. If Gold isn't a currency then obviously bitcoin can't be called a currency. Gold was once globally accepted as a medium of exchanges, although the fiat scams has overthrown all that, still Gold has value and would be gladly accepted by some individuals just as bitcoin currently is. Bitcoin hasn't be accepted as a currency so why compared it to other globally accepted currency if your sentence is discrediting Gold as a currency. Gold was a currency back then, but now the most widely used is fiat currency, you can't exchange an oz of gold to get a louis vuitton bag unless the owner agrees to accept it. I guess the point of him is bitcoin in compare to gold in terms of storing a value where we can generally agree. Bitcoin is a currency for some, some uses bitcoin as a medium of exchange especially on the internet while gold just can't. 1 for 1? How does bitcoin get ranked among world currency when (if I'm not mistaking) the last time I checked it isn't even authorized compared to gold. I'm a little bit confused here.
I also wonder about this too, coz bitcoin wasn't really a global currency, you can't use it globally but in terms of being accepted it's not. Gold has the advantage that a fool in power cannot make it lose its value overnight, that is shared with Bitcoin. What is not shared with bitcoin, is the self verifying nature, that crypto provides. Even if you went back to gold coins, they can be messed with (tampered). A little dent here or there, it starts physically losing value (weight). In the past gold ingots have been found altered, they need to xray them and even take sample (which can ruin the ingot and needs to be melt/minted again). The physical realm has these disadvantages, oh and its heavy, and it paints you as a giant target for mugging or worse. If the USD collapses and enters an inflation spiral into doom, people will quickly stop putting btc charts comparing it to the usd. The usd from a couple of decades ago was already more valuable, so the more time that passes the less these charts make sense. How many usd today are needed for 1 usd from 2009? Indeed you cannot use gold directly, because most merchants can't even verify it, unlike bitcoin. And this verification costs money, which is deducted when you go to a place that would actually exchange your gold. But i think comparing it against its price isn't too bad, unless you know of some other asset whose value is even more stable, maybe one of the other fancier metals? Technically the title is mentioning "currency" and gold is not one anymore. Its a pure asset. |

Does this person not understand that anyone can run an electrum server, and they could make that server send idiotic messages? Whats next, when he gets a message in the browser to format windows, will he do it too? I'm technically opposed to the client from showing any server messages, precisely because of these fools. In fact it shouldn't even autoupdate or show update available. This is a horrible windows practice, a system without official repositories. I'll say more: the windows version of Electrum should be removed. If you cannot bother to learn using a proper os like Linux, you shouldn't be messing with Electrum, let alone moving those quantities of money... In Linux, you usually don't care if there is a new version of anything. Your distro package maintainers curates the packages (which are also signed), and you will eventually update it using your distro official package manager; instead of going to web pages and risking downloading a fake. Yes, in Linux distros, there is usually an army of people verifying the software they upload into their official repositories, it has been like this for decades. Its one of the reasons (but not the only one) malware is much less common there. Can you please stop blaming Electrum from user mistakes? And if you handle any non trivial amount of money can you please stop using windows and maybe even spv wallets and run your full node with Core? I mean, 1400₿?, windows? electrum? seriously? Make sure you also keep your gold ingots and cash under your bed, totally safe, no thief would ever find it... |

Well of course. The police gave him a chance to use a proper mask, but he outright refused. He WANTED to be arrested, and fuel the neo flat-earthers community of trolls known as corona deniers. Hopefully there was a high enough fine for his wrongdoing that would deter him from doing it again.
Oh, and no, its not funny. Worldwide the pandemic is approaching the million deaths.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. If you go by this thinking, then clearly magic is real. Understanding it could be the tricky part. Do you think modern technology would make sense a couple hundred years ago? What do you think things will be a couple hundred years in the future? Whats electricity?, whats fire?. The Earth has always been ravaging with electricity. It is literally the ozone maker. Yet two centuries ago it was yet to be used by humanity. Today you just cannot imagine life without it. Not too long ago, we had no internet. But a millennial cannot imagine life without it. Those things we take "for granted", would have been "magic" sometime ago. What else is out there that we are yet to discover? Faster than light traveling? Quantum entangled "instant" communication across galaxies? Infinite fusion energy? Its magic until we understand it, it then becomes science. In a way, this voyage thru discovery is magical. |

Not common YET, but will surpass all the ICE offerings, eventually people will not want the inconvenience of burning fossil fuels anymore. Who else is still bothering with film camera? Same thing.
The part of Elon's master plan, to push humanity towards electric cars, has been working great. Tesla made all the others look seriously into EV, and it appears critical mass has been achieved. Now all the big traditional brands are looking into it.
With all these things in motion, battery technology should improve as well. In fact these battery are also being pushed by Tesla to replace peak plants in electricity grids worldwide. You could even make some money from selling your excess accumulated energy back to the grid.

It's supposed to be a satellite-based internet, in the past months Elon Musk has been sending a shit ton of satellites to provide this service... if he becomes the number one provider he will become the richest man in the world, i can see it coming. So maybe it has a free version and the paid one, isn't clear yet... But it will be something good for those poor countries who don't has internet access.
Which other Internet Provider company can boast about launching their own satellites? The constellation for Starlink is planned for 40k sats. That's A LOT. But they are the only ones with capacity to do so, because SpaceX. The simple matter that they have cheap access to space while the others don't, is already balance breaking. But their constellation is also low altitude, which allows for those tasty 20ms pings. On top of that, the vacuum of space lets light travel faster then fiber, so their typical example is they could achieve lower latencies from, say, New York to London then using the transoceanic fiber optic cable. The satellites act pretty much like the cells in a cellular network, the passing sat has to share its bandwidth with all the terminals. Therefore it would result faster in isolated places with fewer people, than urban centers with millions. If a city is already well connected, you won't see any point in this. If you are rural, it is a game changer. Some even say that this might enthuse people to go back and live in rural places now that proper internet will be available everywhere. The technical limitation is out of the way, but the political ones... For example, China does not allow planes flying above their airspace to give wifi internet to their passengers. You can bet Starlink will be banned too. Doesn't mean if you could somehow smuggle that antenna it wouldn't work, unless Starlink (somehow) complies with Chinese authorities and turn off their sats when they fly above their land... Poor Elon, he is going to face the dark side of humanity. So far they had good relations with Tesla, we will see. Oh and speaking of planes, yes this is very good for moving aircraft, it has already been tested in flight and worked great. |

You almost had me until around #3: Robert Mugabe  I agree but we all have our dark side because even some of the guys you thumb for have their dark secrets. Lol so read on to see some of your best choice. By the way, I didn't know Walter Rodney, the writer of How Europe Underdeveloped Africa has an African Blood. History shows that sometimes those bloody dictators do in fact help develop their countries. I think Mugabe did in the beginning. Isn't Gaddafi in there too? Doesn't mean you have to like them or anything. You can see a similar trend elsewhere, South Korea for example. During the cold war, many dictators were supported by both superpowers. Human rights be damned. |

With Braiins OS+ you just use powerlimit 600* to achieve the same. There are people using all 3 boards with a single fan, with powerlimit set to 900 claiming to be very quiet, so there is a lot of room to improve if you switch to the autotuning algorithm which Braiins OS+ provides rather than use manual settings. * While it says 600 (watts), this value always assumes 3 boards so its always treated n/3 even if you have two or one board. A feature has been requested to treat them individually. In the meantime 600 / 3 = 200 which is what you want. You could also go lower but won't go realistically do lower than about 100w per board. I tried a single board and it kinda tries to use even lower speeds for about 90w or so, but it works fine producing about 1TH/s or such. And yes, i pointed that to solo.ckpool.org to verify stats. Remember any evaluation regarding autotuning has to wait until the board reports "Stable", let it work until the end before measuring. |

Ya ves lo que dicen una imagen vale más que mil palabras y esta es una clara demostración de por qué no salimos de esta pandemia, las personas no toman con seriedad esta pandemia, creen que es un juego o se lo toman a broma o simplemente son inconscientes de la realidad a la que nos enfrentamos, ya han ocurrido casi 750,000 muertes y aún así parece que las personas no entienden la seriedad del asunto.
Y desafortunadamente los tres países más afectados en términos de muertes por la pandemia están en el continente americano, Estados Unidos, Brasil y México lo cual es un completo sin sentido dado que la pandemia llegó más tarde a estos países y por lo tanto tuvieron más tiempo para prepararse y enfrentar la pandemia de manera más efectiva.
Tiene completo sentido por la cultura de la gente. Brasil es la máxima expresión, porque el presidente replicó esa cultura. En el resto de los países las autoridades lo tomaron con mayor seriedad, pero no la población. Hay países, Noruega, por ejemplo, donde no se acostumbra acercarse a extraños, menos hablarles. en Japón es conocida su cultura de no tocar. No subestimes las diferencias de cultura. El virus se transmite por la saliva humana, ¿puedes salir a la calle sin abrir la boca? En un país asiático es fácil comprar en una tienda por conveniencia sin decir una palabra. Es especialmente práctico cuando no hablas el idioma... Pero en nuestros países es casi imposible hacerlo. El tapabocas es para mitigar el problema, intenta atrapar la saliva de la gente cuando habla. Si no hablaran, no haría falta, pero es caso perdido. |
