Diría que Cointelegraph exagera lo suyo el alcance del artículo, precisamente al no denotar su alcance efectivo. Es decir, que sí, que habrá gente que invierta en la minería en Venezuela (o donde sea) como una salida para su situación, pero que el volumen de personas que lo realiza es más bien escaso, y la actividad por ende muy nicho.
Si bien el contexto de lo que estamos tratando aquí en este foro tiene su foco en Bitcoin y las criptomonedas, a veces el redactado de los artículos parece ser de aplicación general, con la consiguiente exageración por ausencia de concreción numérica.
Yo estoy acá, lo que dicen ellos es exageradísimo. Es casi fuera de la realidad, y bueno es desconocimiento. Que hay mineros, si que los hay. Que lo hacen para "salvarse de la inflación", no realmente, lo hacen para ganar dinero, mientras siga el bochinche de la electricidad regalada... También hay otro grupo que tiene un "minado de subsistencia". Difiero de famososMuertos, en Venezuela se puede vivir de 25 dólares al mes. Ciertamente el problema es conseguir el equipo y no meter la pata. Aunque afuera los venden por $25, dentro del país una S9 (usada, obvio) puede costar $110. Regalado dirá cualquier extranjero, pero es que en Venezuela el promedio de un sueldo cualquiera no llega a 10 dólares mensuales (y el mínimo es $2). Solo se salva quien ahorró algo del pasado y puede invertir, o vender algo para involucrarse en ese tema. Los servicios son muy malos porque se han dejado de mantener. En el caso de la minería, la luz y el internet. Poner uno o 3 mineros en un apartamento para subsistir, no es difícil, pero cosas grandes si que lo es, sin las conexiones gubernamentales es imposible. Y si, hay gente con aba y luz, tal vez no sea una gran mayoría, pero hay. Los proveedores "de bodegón" de las antenas Ubiquity, solo se usa en casos extremos. Es hasta mas barato meter movilnet datos (es un 1kB/sec por minero lo que se necesita, para 3 mineros en un apartamento hasta 2g/edge sirve). Minar altcoins siempre fue arriesgado y de corto plazo. Bitcoin es seguro y se puede usar como medio de ahorros. En la situación que se encuentra Argentina hoy, Venezuela se encontraba hace 15 años (aunque empeoró mucho mas con Maduro), recién comenzando el desplome de la moneda cuando todavía habían cantidades importantes de dinero fiat local (bolívares) en los bancos, hoy nadie es idiota como para mantener grandes cantidades de moneda fiat; cualquier otra cosa desde artículos no perecederos, monedas extranjeras (incluso hasta 2019 que era ilegal), y si, Bitcoin. De manera que aducir que se hace para salvarse de la inflación, no tiene sentido porque la gente no guarda esa moneda en primer lugar, claro para Argentina si, y yo les avisé el año pasado, tuvieron tiempo, otra cosa es que como acá, veían en los dólares la salida para todo y no hicieron caso... Bueno, mientras la política de emisión alocada de Trump no reviente al dólar (y a sus Lemmings como Tether); todo bien, supongo... Cuando el dólar desplome y comience el nuevo colapso económico mundial, entonces es que se darán cuenta que es Bitcoin... |

Si quieres ver "toros" mira Max Kaiser por RTnews en español, que seguramente en algún canal de cable tendrán, por acá está en la TDA que solo funciona en la capital según desde que se perdió el satélite chino...
Claro está en youtube también.
Poco a poco los medios no pueden seguir ignorando bitcoin, mas cuando se imponen restricciones al intercambio de moneda (los desgraciados, inútiles e infames controles de cambio).
Bitcoin está haciendo lo que se tiene años diciendo que va a hacer, no perder su valor en el tiempo. Y ahora es que se dan cuenta, ya cuando la velocidad de su ascenso disminuye, entrando en su etapa de madurez. Pero, si que es útil para salvarse de una moneda fiat que pierde valor todos los días, en buena parte porque el gobierno prohíbe su cambio...
Es el efecto del "cierre de taquilla". En un banco aunque esté bien, corran el rumor de que está mal y hagan que cierre un día la taquilla. ábranla al día siguiente y véanlo quebrar (gracias al esquema ponzi legalizado que es la reserva fraccionaria, tema para otro día).
Hablando de Venezuela, un programa radial en Unión Radio que sale como a las una o dos de la tarde siempre menciona bitcoin y otros altcoin (alguien que le diga que "xrp" es ripple for favor).
Del Petro habla es el gobierno, y de contrabando se meten algunos oportunistas. Por supuesto no voy a hablar del Petro acá, el artículo de su creador publicado por un medio estadounidense es mas que suficiente. No suscribo esas apreciaciones sobre el mercado, muy bonitas las gráficas y las miles de teorías sobre comportamiento de precio, pero falta el fundamento que está en la gráfica completa, la que empezó el primer día de su cotización hasta hoy, esa que los que viven metidos viendo curvas y velas irónicamente fallan en ver.

La minería en la nube es un sin sentido. Hace años la única "fiable" era porque pertenecía a Bitmain (hoy día Bitmain tiene otra), pero dinero invertido es dinero perdido, tendría que ser mucha suerte no distinto de simplemente comprar bitcoin barato y esperar que suba para vender, pero mucho mas engorroso y mucho mas facil de perder todo el dinero.
Realmente es un sin sentido, la mayoría de los mineros del mundo se retiran por lo mal negocio que es, y estos prometen darte una ganancia con sus equipos alquilados a ti restándoles su comisión...
Osea que si normalmente tomara 2 años en recuperar ganancia, con esos mineros de nube serían como 4, pero como el mercado no se porta siempre a su favor... Si viene un desplome de precio se activan unas clausulas que te dejan sin nada, y si se dispara vende mientras puedas... (por eso ahora siempre hacen contratos a tiempo fijo, para encadenarte).
En resumen, no, olvídate de minería en la nube. 9 de cada 10 son estafa, y el que no, es preferible comprar bitcoin y guardar, mucho mas seguro.
Todo lo demás son esquemas de estafa, el típico multinivel. Son fáciles de detectar porque te piden dinero, dame 100 para ganarte 1000 cuando traigas a 10 mas... O dame 100 para que te lleves 200 mañana pero llévales el enlace a 100 personas, o bobadas y variantes por el estilo. No hay minería de cpu, al menos no de Bitcoin o de casi ninguna altcoin que valga la pena hacer, son estafas 90% y el 10% restante o ganas miseria o quedas igual excepto perdiste tu tiempo.
Minar Bitcoin es un asunto serio. Compras un equipo asic dedicado que consume electricidad como un aire acondicionado (pero produce calor, útil en invierno); lo apuntas a un pool y miras los satoshis entrar todos los días. Sin esto es pura falsedad. "Desde tu teléfono", "desde tu pc", "desde tu navegador", pura mentira o trampas.

You can use a procedure involving the T9+ image and a micro sd card, while the guide to do it was moved into some zip file, its still in the Bitmain support page (for now). Its nearly identical to testing Braiins OS: Just flash the sd, move jumper jp4. Boot the sd card and wait (blindly) some minutes for the T9+ firmware to be flashed into nand, leds flash signaling completion. Then restart and browse the miner's page, you can now upgrade to the S9 2018 firmware and stay there. It won't hash until you do install the S9 firmware...
Something nastier is coming for the S17 family, meaning people who upgrade their firmware won't be able to replace it unless a chip is de-soldered and a new one soldered back in (replaced) on the controller.
In other news, Braiins OS for the S17 should be (hopefully) coming in July.

What do you think about it? after death we can back again in this world? You can explain your own beliefs, I think this is a important chapter in our life.
We either lose our memory completely, or simply don't return. Also, next life could be completely unrelated to this universe, Earth or Humans. In the blink of an eye, eons can pass, because in this state time is meaningless. Perhaps an infinite number of iterations of universes getting created and destroyed will occur before you getting some sort of sentience again, but either way no one ever knows for sure what was before, and what is after. Some people say there is only one life. I have no idea, but there is no escaping death. Religion and spitituality exists because people claim they receive revelations about those mysteries, but that's where it ends. The rest is human fabrication, regardless of the truth, whatever that is, which may simply lie beyond our grasp in this state or the next one or the one before this. In my opinion the chances of getting back to this world are small. Because input and output diverges too much. As in number of "souls". Reproduction itself is a mystery, where does the new born gets that sentience from? and yes, many never even reach that state. Believe what you will, we all end the same. Be happy but never harm others, not out of fear but out of love. |

I just had to share this youtube video. Finally i am able to understand the American system, or why they get such high voltage and high capacity at home (miners rejoice). It is incredibly informative for those of us who don't live there, and probably, for those living there unaware of why this work the way it works. Will make some spoilers later, but first I'll give you some time to watch it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMmUoZh3Hq4My country uses 120v as well, but this is an apartment that gets two of three phases as explained in the video for 3 phase near the end, which is apparently common there for commercial office etc. Warning: This video is a bit technical, its about how power is delivered to the American home. It might require some thinking  Mentioned but not explained in video: The result of 120v is a historical result from the dispute from Edison's 120 DC and Tesla's 240 60Hz AC (so called War of the Currents). America couldn't ignore the advantage of AC, but so many 100~120v appliances were already in the market, so that was the compromise solution. See, a 120v incandescent light bulb can work the same with AC or DC, but feed it 240v and it pops. And then there is Japan (also not mentioned in the video)... They took the 100v part way too literally (because DC power loses voltage over distance quickly, in America Edison company tried to keep their customers (next to generation) at 120v and the limit was when it went down to 100v a few blocks away. And to confuse things further, Japan had power plants imported from both America and Europe, resulting in their ridiculous half 60hz and half 50hz 100v country, the only one in the world. Well i guess if you want to be pendantic, you would say your country is 11kV. Put a proper transformer and it will deliver you anything, provided they let you do so in the first place... The refresh can't be helped but note that 60Hz makes transformers save up to 20% in coil vs 50Hz, in that regard Europe took a poor design choice. Yes, Tesla chose 240v@60Hz for a reason, but Europeans wanted things those days to fit the 1, 2, 5 metric rule (like the coinage), so many went 220v and others 240v @ 50hz (converging into 230v in modern times). Just for uniqueness sake, the only country that uses Tesla's ideal, is Guyana. All other (few remaining) 240v countries use 50Hz, only Guyana officially uses 60Hz @ 240v. |

Isn't this more of a cgminer (software) feature rather than the miner (hardware)? Its nice they provide their own tool, but so could anyone else who could do api rpc ssh commands.
Its not like its a special MicroBT feature (Microbt is the actual manufacturer name, whatsminer is a mere brand akin to antminer).
Or did they also release a tool confusingly called whatsminer too? So not only we have resellers using the brand but tools too?
The M in the model should give you a reminder that you are using MicroBT gear, that happens to be branded whatsminer just like Bitmain brands theirs antminer for whatever reason, while antminer is also a pool, because confusing must be good for profit, or some such...

Once again Bitmain attacks its customers. In another attempt to prevent people from switching firmware, last week they pushed an update that makes signature checks in sd updates. It is very likely that the same thing will spread to all other Bitmain models... Of course this means the firmware community will have to find a solution (again). If i were to guess, using the serial port... Remember, DO NOT upgrade the firmware on your S17, T17, + or not, pro or not. I'm sure the community will find a solution, it always does. But it might not be easy, and might not be pretty. Protect your investment, don't let the manufacturer decide what you can and what you cannot do with your equipment. At worse, the whole controller would need to be replaced. Bitmain has pushed new s17+ firmwares 18th of june (and eventually will update s17 too) where it seems sd card updating does NOT work anymore! Be careful, dont upgrade your miners especially if you are looking forward to try braiinsOS for s17 soon. We will have a closer eye on the situation.
A week ago we already noticed additional security in place in the s19 firmwares, signature checks in sd upgrading, hoping nothing will be carried over to s17. It’s implemented on the hardware level, xilinx SoC chip supports secure booting by verifying the signature of the boot loader and FPGA bitstream. Bitmain activated this feature in s19’s
...
Unless you have the private key to sign your firmware
...
you just need to replace the Xilinx chip with a new one PS: History repeats: make sure you don't upgrade fw to the S21 family as well for the same reason. Any firmware from April 2024 onwards locks the miner, do not be tempted with "hashrate % slider", its the usual bait. PS2: Also S19. |

I figure what happened when I tried to set up a relay in Germany is that I rented a VPS from an American hosting provider with a presence in Germany and all the big hosting providers from the USA are obligated to block Iran. If I'd gone with a European provider it might not have been a problem, as evidenced by O solo miner succeeding with his passthrough.
I hope my country does not follow, all American companies have been forced to leave due to sanctions, and things only get worse and worse. Non American companies that deal with my country are getting punished and forced to stop providing us services or else they get their business in America blocked. I will be adding the kindly provided proxies just in case the worst comes to happen... Centralization is dangerous for things like this... And its things like this that makes politicians so dangerous, never again should they be allowed to control money or dictate monetary policy of any kind. Bitcoin is freedom. Also, it might come a point where text clear communication just won't do. I don't know how hard it is, but i hope someday to see a solo pool adopt v2's encrypted communication. It might make the difference to some of us in the long run... |

Si por mi fuera no usaría WhatsApp de hecho llegué tarde al WhatsApp, hoy en día es algo que la mayoría hace sin pensar el dar acceso a las apps a tu teléfono, bueno a tu vida personal, el solo hecho de permitir acceder a tu lista de contactos (si, es necesario, ¿obvio? no, puedes tener mensajería sin dar tu acceso de contacto telefónicos) algo intrusivo, bueno lo era hace muchos años, cuando estas aplicaciones empezaron a surgir, en donde por cierto me conecte con Telegram, que aunque también accede tus contactos te da la opción de un tipo de anonimato sin tener que usar tu número de teléfono.
En fin, el punto es que WhatsApp siempre ha estado alcanzando a Telegram y otras muchas buenas app de chat, que siempre han estado por encima en "Friendly" lo que para algunos puede ser también la ergonomía, este símil para alguien que recién lee y está empezando en esto de las opiniones sobre alguna apps.
De hecho recomendaría si tuviera que hacerlo sacando a Telegram a Keybase, ojo, esto sin intención publicitaria, pues no pertenezco o tengo alguna relación comercial con Keybase. Ese si es un proyecto de mensajería basado en la BlockChain, con sus ventajas y desventajas, pero del cual WhatsApp está muy lejos hoy, ¡pero! con su capacidad financiera si lo quisiera y más de 1000 millones de usuarios puede lanzar mañana mismo whatsappcoins.
¡Consejo! no maneje mensajería y pagos en una misma Apps, no es que no se pueda es que no debe. Es como conducir y beber.
Yo no lo uso, les digo que me escriban al Telegram porque whatsapp es infinitamente tedioso y las cosas mas elementales o no las hace, o las hace mal. Lo único salvable son las video llamadas, pero ni eso. Y además, el historial de Whatsapp es terrible, sumado a que pertenece a Zuckerberg ahora, el mismo que quiere imponer su altcoin centralizada. No pinta nada pero nada bien. Por supuesto que hay alternativas libres, pero si es dificil sacarlos del vicio whatsapp, que será mandarlos al riot.im o algo decente y seguro. Mucho pedir, y mas los latinos embobados con whatsapp. Europa usa mucho Telegram, y Asia; depende del país. Line en japón, Kakao en Korea, WeChat en China. Esté último tiene años realizando pagos en fiat local, creo que los otros 2 también. Y bueno ya sabemos que Telegram desistió de su token para no volverse ilegal en EEUU... ¿A todo esto que pinta whatsapp aquí? Creo que es una estratagema para mantener cautivos a sus usuarios, porque aparecen "tentaciones" de irse a otros servicios de mensajería instantánea mejor, ¡algunos hasta respetan tu privacidad! ¡Fin de mundo! Whatsapp es una porquería. Un ejemplo: Las PCs desde que existen, permiten corregir errores al texto que se escribe. En los 80, esa era literalmente la razón de abandonar la máquina de escribir mecánica, poder corregir un error en la pantalla. Insólitamente, Whatsapp no deja. Y ahora tenemos una generación enviciada, que cuando comete un error, pone la palabra corregida debajo con un *, Pero mira que lo hacen en Telegram, pero Telegram ¡si deja corregir o re-editar el texto!, lo que hace ese mal hábito traído del whatsapp, absurdo. Hay otras cosas que Whatsapp hace muy pero muy mal, como restringirte a un solo dispositivo. Pero porque les dio su regalada gana... Y si lo abres en una pc por navegador, a tener ese dispositivo con el whatsapp abierto y conectado, y que sea la última versión... Absurdo por todas partes. Pero los cautivos a el, siempre lo vieron "normal". Es como ver repetir la triste historia de los sistema operativos, otra vez. |

¿Para que centralizar los exchange por un lado, y los pool por el otro, cuando todo podría ser un solo sitio? Que podría salir mal...
Entonces no solo Binance pretende ser otro pool chino mas, pero que es un multipool chino mas.... Faltará ver opiniones sobre ese pool...
¿Que vendrá después, la renta de hashrate?
Estos días la altcoin sha256 mas lucrativa a sido BTCV y BTCV2. Da flojera entrar a Binance, ¿las tienen en su repertorio? De lo contrario, es perder el tiempo...

I suppose you have already considered this, but due to economies of scale, sometimes it MIGHT be more cost effective to use gaming gpus for your scientific application. I remember someone comparing these against the more professional setup for some medic imaging software.
The fun part is, you may get it from mining rigs. With opencl and cuda, the sky is the limit.
Unfortunately it does depend on your particular application, you would have to test them by yourself. But don't disregard those gaming gpus, especially the new ones that appear more general scientific purposed than 3d graphics; still those older mining rigs people sometimes get rid of for cheap, could give you a surprise...
I guess the fun part is spreading your workload in the smaller data chunks for the things to actually work...

The world is already perfect, its the humans that seem to be unable to behave...
So the question is, when will (if ever) humanity evolve from its primitive and violent ways?
Maybe people will move into space, maybe there will be some utopian space colonies, and some dystopian space colonies, who knows...
Was life aboard Star Trek's TNG utopian or dystopian? While everyone seemed happy, the gov was literally military and vertical, absolutely, central planned even. Well its a ship and you could argue "resources are limited" (but they have replicators so...).
Babylon 5, an O'neil cylinder, things there seemed more chaotic, but again, a military government.
I wonder what does that tells us? And people blamed Heinlein...
Will humans ever learn to behave by themselves without having a military boot in their face?
And that is why we can't ever have nice things...

I've just bought a new device and have already spent an hour in searching for a perfect ringtone for calls. Ended up with none.
I'd like to know which ringtones are most preferred/used by you guys as it would also help me know the most trending ringtones so far.
Looking for something antic but pleasant to listen.
Willing to spend merit to the perfect answer/ringtone.
Thanks.
I'm using this song as ringtone currently, it works wonders. I never even played that game, but I'm aware from his comments in youtube, that the author is still around and active. This particular version somehow sounds great with the typical (cheap) phone speaker, perhaps mimicking the 80ies typical computer speakers?. I also got the tracker (Amiga) version of it, but somehow stick to the C64 variant. The fact that its "chiptune" (with the sid being the best chip ever) really drives home the fact that you are very stylish, millenials will be puzzled, and not many older people got into computers in the late 80ies. Perhaps you can find out the perfect "ringtone" for you out there, since everyone's preferences are different, but give "chip music" a try |

I think bitcoin is a real temptation for poor countries because even a fraction of bitcoin represents a big amount of money for them. I'm from México and for me, 1 bitcoin represents $200,000 pesos. so, with 2 bitcoins i can even buy a house here. Or pay cheap rent of $120 dollars for a nice house with a garden. What we can do in the first world with 1 bitcoin isn't much but in the third world we can have a nice life with that amount.
In Venezuela the monthly wage is about 2 USD. With what an American may spend for a pizza, you can probably feed a family a whole month here. Granted, they won't be eating pizza, mostly grain and the occasional sausage if lucky; but still, its a tremendous difference. However you are looking at it wrongly. Bitcoin is good because of several reasons, that particular one not being one. 1 bitcoin does not exist, what exists, is, really, 100 million satoshis. The code does not distinguish the bitcoin unit, only the satoshi, the rest is fiction. You might as well say 100 million satoshis. So, with 200 million satoshis you could buy a house there. It is really the same thing, but mostly psychological i guess. But no, what matters is that bitcoin is not going to lose its value over time, unlike fiat, which is under the yoke of inflation, induced or not. One of the dogmas of the school of Chicago is, to never let money keep its value, or people will stop spending and/or getting in debt, and they are very very scared of this, because their flawed model doesn't work otherwise, and they never bothered to study the Austrian school of economy that rips them apart. Sadly the whole world thinks only the Chicago school is true, even the misled leftists which antagonize it with the much worse State should replace the people mindset (free market vs central planned economy). Mexican economy is going down, but you have flee into Bitcoin, before your fiat drags you faster than you will have time to react. Keeping pesos is dangerous, while keeping bitcoin is not. Heck, even keeping US dollars is dangerous, Trump thinks he is invincible, and that the USD can be printed ad infinitum, but one day it will blow up and dwarf the housing crisis or covid-19... And yes, your gov will probably "invent" the new peso, say a million of the current one s 1 new peso (haven't you had those before?) but this is fiction. We have had 2 of those in the last decade, it often happens to hyperinflation economies. And, we are used to express menial things in millions anyway. We have a very bad joke here, we are " millionaires" (when a million can only buy you some milk or bread at most). Min wage is actually just 400000 VES, but it'l get into the millions soon, like it did in 2018 with the VEF. Its an illusion, and that particular thing (zeroes, either left or right) doesn't make something "better" (it doesn't). Giving its closeness its far easier to express bitcoin price in satoshis in our local currency. According to Localbitcoins, the exchange is about 18~19 VES per satoshi. See? Simple. Get used to it... |

But where does it pulls its data from? Localbitcoins?
I tried opening it and, but it doesn't work. Maybe my country is blocked, quite the irony.
There is also the fiat exchange. This might seem easy for most of you, but a few countries out there the reality sucks. There is an official (garbage) rate, and an unofficial (closer but still garbage) rate. Most of the world has gotten rid and don't even know the idea of a government pegging its fiat by decree, but some of those exist. Argentina being a current example. (As long as politicians have the power to do so, they will).
And in those places this site doesn't pull data from, is where the biggest discrepancies in bitcoin price occurs. Most of them by exploiting a system's flaw in that countries misled economies; which can make the occasional well connected foreigner earn a ton of money; often being so whaleish they skew the adoption perception of some.

Its a can of worms, stay away from that. Exchanges are nightmares; legal, security, financial, etc etc etc.
And it takes only one mistake for the whole thing to break down. There is a long history of failed exchanges out there, that should teach something. Even established exchanges are very dangerous and can collapse at any moment without warning, as it has happened before and will happen again.
Opening a bank is probably easier, or a casino for that matter, and safer.
Make a perfect exchange and the simple lack of volume kills it. I don't think you could successfully make a new exchange without having some sort of large company already invested in something else backing it up. And even with that, its no guarantee.
If you spend that amount in bitcoin, and look at it next year, or in the next three years, you'd probably have made more, even if not by much.

But bitcoin ain't a bank.
It is a currency.
The survey made the wrong comparison.
It should be BTC against USD or its own currency and digital currencies.
Bitcoin doesn't give an annual interest like banks. Yes, the price of it is moving now and you could make profits out of it but that means selling your bitcoin with a different currency.
This is correct, but Bitcoin is also enabling people to bypass banks. People were led to believe that banks are a necessary evil, but they are not. Of course, with fiat money, any amount you keep by yourself is losing value, they do this on purpose. In their biased view, the "punishment" is meant to make you invest or spend it by force, and with this they justify their dogma that no money cannot keep its value, our of feat that, the horror, people would save it instead; thus stagnate their model. Which explain their insane fear of deflation. Enter the Austrian school of economy, which a century ago was telling people they should use gold, not fiat. They warned the dangers while in the roaring 20ies, pretty much predicted the crash of 29... If the money doesn't lose value, people don't need to spend it all. In fact, people only need to spend what actually needs to be spent. This leads to saving it, but not in a bank; but by yourself. The modern bank, with its legalized Ponzi scheme known as fractional reserve, seems to "magically" keep some of the value of fiat, by offering interest for those fool enough to trust their money to them. In turn, its not like they just lent your money to others, they also introduce at least 9 times the amount of that money (out of thin air) into the system, which is even worse than printing (but close). To break the scam the banks need to change, but they won't, so the next best is, to not use them. But your fiat is losing value, so either you change it into some asset, or, a money that doesn't lose value over time, like bitcoin. Note that the Austrians meant actual gold, not "gold backed" currency, that's garbage. All pegged coins (so called "stable" coins nowdays) live on a promise easy to break by the small group that controls it when things turn bad. The USD for example where Trump prints as much as he wants like it doesn't matter, and scam coin Tether doing 30% fractional reserve according to their promise (good luck auditing that, and they have already broken that promise at least once). And then there is the whole privacy invasion issue, and the requisites. Many of you are probably biased, think opening a bank account couldn't be easier, but that's not the case in all countries. There are places where you are forced to provide so many things you might have an easier time getting your elected official to actually deliver on their election promise than a bank letting you give them your hard earned money. You need proof of address, proof of nationality, a good amount of money and often, having accounts in other banks already (which makes opening your first starting account kind of tricky). You know it is fine to get rid of them, and I'm no millennial, but i hate banks. Cheques were still in wide use until recently, a few years ago before hyperinflation finally moved in. Those things, took days to cash, and were highly prone for scam, you had to ask the bank on telephone to find out if the person had the money wrote in the paper before taking it as a form of payment, and then you had to rush to the bank to cash it out (usually in a way too long line) so that the money was still there... Yet some people have the nerve to complain of a 1 day confirmation on super secure Bitcoin instant transaction... The only problem with actual gold, is that being physical, you have to protect it and yourself of thievery, and of course it gets heavy. But Bitcoin is better. |

Braiins OS+ es el único firmware para asics hecho de cero basado en software libre, es el sistema operativo para el equipo de minería. Existen muchas ofertas que no pasan de ser modificaciones de otros (cgminer), solo este tiene su propio bosminer hecho completamente desde cero en lenguaje Rust. Actualmente la versión para la familia S9 es del 25 de octubre (10-25). Esta versión soporta únicamente equipos S9, S9j y S9i. Su mejora mas importante respecto a la de septiembre, es la corrección del ruido de los ventiladores en caso de una des-conexión con el pool. (este problema no existe en la versión de junio). La versión actual para la familia S17, es del 5 de noviembre. Esta versión soporta la S17, S17pro. En pruebas, también soporta la S17+, T17 y T17+. En desarrollo se está trabajando con la M20 y la S19. Hasta ahora, se ha llegado a reportar eficiencia record de 68 vatios por TH en las S9, y de 29 vatios por TH en las S17. Es mas normal ver que las S9 consuman unos 80 vatios por TH y las S17 unos 35, pero estos resultados fueron logrados por personas que probaron reducir a distintos valores el límite de consumo de energía, una característica de Braiins OS+ que es un software enfocado en la eficiencia y longevidad en lugar de la velocidad ciega. Para soporte en español, la vía mas rápida es en Telegram por el Grupo oficial para Braiins OS+ en español. Noticias:
