En Venezuela ni siquiera enseñan economía básica (y no lo hacían 40 años atrás), ya no hablemos de emprendimientos etc.

El auto aprendizaje es la única salida. Gracias al internet, las generaciones actuales pueden hacerlo con mayor facilidad (aunque el internet de Venezuela apesta).

El salario mínimo de Venezuela es de 2 dólares mensual, y un equivalente en tickets de alimentación de 2 dólares, que no es lo mismo a tener 4 dólares en la mano. Y pronto volveremos al 1 dólar mensual de agosto 2018 antes de correr 5 ceros la moneda (disueltos en menos de 2 años).

Pero malo no es que alguien hable de Bitcoin, faltará ver como lo está enseñando...

Debido a que sigue imperando la mentalidad de la escuela de Chicago en todos los niveles de enseñanza a nivel mundial, tengo poca confianza en iniciativas como esta. Sin la escuela Austríaca no se entiende Bitcoin, y eso es lo que hay que enseñar en las aulas para romper el molde.

Mr. Robot. Its interesting!

I haven't seen many shows lately due to connectivity issues, but will keep an eye on this thread...

Hasta que descubres que para hacer transacciones anónimas con Monero necesitas usar la cartera en línea de comandos y pasar un parámetro particular, cosa que la gran mayoría ni idea tienen que eso es así y piensan que solo usar Monero es seguro por defecto cuando no lo es...

Pero si descubres eso si, puedes hacer transacciones anónimas. A menos que tengas otra cartera que ya lo haga pues no sigo las noticias de Monero.

You can change back and forth from Braiins OS into Braiins OS+ and back. Relevant ssh command and instructions:

Switch to Braiins OS+ from other versions using OPKG
Switch to Braiins OS (without autotuning) from other versions using Sysupgrade

To move from Braiins OS into Braiins OS+ you just need to install the package bos_plus which can be done from the web ui as well.

In the version number at the bottom of every page it says when its plus or not, also the graphic in the upper left corner of the web UI.

Oh i forgot to mention something. This is not obvious, but always treat the powerlimit as if there were 3 boards. It doesn't matter if there are only two or one, it doesn't literally share the amount you input to the physical existing boards, but will try to give a third of it to each, even if there is only one.

But let it run at 300w just for fun (and science). I think some people had good results at 600w, another at 800w. Since you are limited to 900w, perhaps no more than 720w would be good.

Officially, no. Your designs could very well be used by merchants who wish to, but the original logo should remain as is.

There is an unicode character for BTC, its ₿. It took nearly a decade to appear, changing it is not an option. This is exactly like the dollar symbol $, there are countless styles out there, but its officially the same. Same as £, €, ¥, etc...

If you decide to try autotune, remember these two parameters: Powerlimit, and Target Temp. By default target temp is intentionally 89°, this probably makes the fans go even slower if left alone, but you can lower it if you want. And powerlimit indirectly tells it how much power it can use, and thus not exceed a certain speed voltage combination. With autotune, bosminer+ controls chip speeds individually.

You should wait until it shows "stable" before measuring power and noise. Good luck!

Autotune may let a few errors if it considers the hashrate to be more efficient even with some, so don't worry too much if you do see some, as long as the resulting hashrate / watt use is good. People have achieved even 69W/T so you should aim for something at least in the 70ies, 91 feels a bit too high... Oh but i guess you need 240v and not exceed 80% PSU capacity.

I think you will be forced to use the serial port hack, this is very advanced i think there are only a couple of topics that talk about it. I think you can force flash an older bitmain firmware with ssh access and then move from that.

Good luck if you decide to try it, post back your results!

El ingreso real para un salario mínimo en Venezuela es $2, con tickets de alimentación no se puede comprar gasolina, gas, pagar condominio o ninguno de los servicios básicos. Es que ni el clap se puede pagar con eso...

Sin ingresos desde el extranjero, no se puede. En la medida que las sanciones cierren el chorro de las remesas, la gente aprenderá por las buenas o por las malas a usar Bitcoin etc.

Si es cierto que está todo dolarizado, también es cierto que se ha regalado indebidamente el combustible desde hace mucho tiempo. Me parece bien que aumentaran la gasolina, especialmente un gobierno que es "intumbable". Lo malo es que se sigue subsidiando en buena parte.

Ahora falta que se libere la economía... Ahí está el meollo...

Hmmm eso es como desconocer las protestas de la última década. Ni los militares le hacen frente (30 de abril año pasado el tercero al mando se alzó pero sin pueblo apoyando decidió huir). Ahora no esperes que el pueblo desnudo se va lanzar a morir (como en efecto ocurrió con cientos de manifestantes asesinados) pero no hizo ninguna diferencia. Además Venezuela es un pueblo desarmado, no es como EEUU o el medio oriente, a menos que sea comparar a los palestinos con piedras y chinas contra la fuerza armada israelí.

No es conformismo, se tiró la toalla en 2018, cuando inició la última fase de la emigración masiva y la oposición política con sus incoherencias influyeron mucho en eso consolidando al régimen mas allá del punto de no retorno.

Y claro los oportunistas esperando al liberador extranjero, que no llega nunca o no le importa venir y el otro grupo (político) negociando, esos si son conformistas. Venezuela es un status quo que necesita una verdadera revolución para acabarlo, pero esa se volvió una mala palabra por décadas de propaganda y adoctrinamiento. Dentro del sistema actual es imposible el cambio, y no hay ni los medios ni la organización interna o externa para lograrlo, salvo que una potencia decida hacernos su nueva colonia.

Como dije, en 2018 se tiró la toalla. 6 millones ya se han ido (20%), que si regresaron 100mil huyendo del coronavirus es nada en comparación...

Esas recompensas si acaso servirán de algún estimulo a los "contratistas civiles", como la incursión esa que terminó con 2 americanos y al menos 3 decenas de "traidores" en prisión... Y no olvides que el término de la recompensa es "para información que facilite su ubicación y captura", no vale eso de ir a matarlos como el régimen insinúa constantemente...

En este caso le das tu ip a Opera/Proveedor VPN, quien puede entregarlo a las autoridades si lo piden. Pero, Opera/Proveedor VPN podría también ser víctima de una de las interminables incursiones que podría exponer silenciosamente tu información personal a terceros.

Las VPN no se hicieron para eso, no me cansaré de decirlo. Su centralización es peligrosa, el servidor VPN es un punto débil.

Es muy pero muy sencillo usar Electrum con Tor, que no es tor browser, junto a un sistema operativo decente como Linux. Solo queda de tu parte no fallar en la ingeniería social.

Para cometer delitos no usen Bitcoin, porque el nivel de pericia requerida para evadir autoridades es inmensamente superior. Este nivel de anonimato es mas para alejar a terceros (crimen organizado) que puedan tener intención de secuestrarte o peor...

Those are interesting results. You should give more chance to the autotuner, with a very low powerlimit it should outperform your manual settings. The only problem is the time it takes until it decides its "stable" (can take several hours, less with a lower powerlimit)

Also, the settings from the autotune are only saved if you use the nightly version, which you need to enable via ssh with the command bos nightly_feeds on

This only works in the miner you have installed into nand, until they release a new SD image.

The party starts two weeks after "relaxing" quarantine. Have some patience.

Until the vaccine is ready, the virus can only grow. Yes, a quarter of the population won't feel it, but the rest will, and many may die without medical attention; if they all seek attention at the same time, some will not get it.

This is what has happened all over the world. Oh, and just because you don't feel a thing, doesn't mean you can't spread it to others who may not survive...

Trump se parece mucho a Maduro, lo que hace es hablar y hablar y hablar.

Que lindo hay una serie de recompensas para "información que lleve a la ubicación y captura de", pero mas allá de eso nada. Algunos pensaron que se repetiría el escenario Panamá, pero la diferencia es quien está hoy en la casa blanca. Bueno, con el país prendido por los cuatro costados, probablemente menos se interese.

Claro lo triste es tener que depender de otros, el país solo es incapaz de solucionar nada. Una gente se montó y ya nadie los saca, punto.

Lo de Silvercorp fue bastante patético y sirvió a Maduro para justificar mas lo injustificable.

Las otras potencias no se ven muy interesadas en "defender" a Venezuela, si por ejemplo EEUU agrediera de verdad, ya no habría nada que hacer. China y Rusia están muy lejos e Irán tiene sus propios problemas. Si, muy solidarios pagando el favor que Chávez en su momento les hizo con el envío de combustible en circunstancias similares, pero hasta ahí. Y China... Pues es que no le sirve la economía de Venezuela. Los del régimen no comprenden esa parte. Claro que tienen alineación política, pero no económica.

Que si hay lavado o no, no hay forma de saberlo. Como decimos acá, de pagan y se dan el vuelto. El poder judicial fue colocado por el ejecutivo, y el poder legislativo fue inhabilitado en los hechos también por el ejecutivo. No existe contrapeso alguno, y quien diga lo contrario es traidor a la patria. Es lo que es.

¿Que significa ese añadido? Una raya mas pa' un tigre. Que les va importar. ¿Acaso vamos a ver esa lista de funcionarios con el traje naranja en prisiones de EEUU? Solo si caen, ¿y quien los tumba? Nadie.

Como yo veo la cosa, Trump perderá las elecciones y el próximo de turno será mas moderado(a) suspenderá (o congelará) ese asunto.

I still use 1 sat/B, and it still works. Takes a while, but who is in a hurry? Its not like i'm in a shop waiting for a coffee to be served or something...

You don't need to be a "millionaire" you just need to use a decent wallet that lets you input a manual transaction fee. Bitcoin works fine, you just have to use it properly, most people are misled by the wallets, well don't let them decide whats a good fee and what isn't, they are wrong. The network doesn't matter unless you are in an absolute hurry, and in most cases, you don't.

Just send at the cheapest fee and relax. Check back tomorrow or the day after that, it'll eventually confirm, it always does.

The only miners who could theoretically take advantages of this, are those owning oil powerplants. They can, for the time being, put that excess capacity to use while it remains profitable to do so. Except in those rare cases, where the miner is also the owner of the powerplant, i doubt anybody else would take advantage of this.

Since oil prices appear to be recovering, i guess even messing with this isn't going to happen, unless its a case where its already done (an existing farm).

In the long run it is renewable that have a future, what with being "free" and all. Yes, there is an initial install cost, but most setups can easily serve for 20 years. Its for long time commitment.

Oh well, let me join the crowd:


Funny thing is, i watched this whole thing when it was getting released. It gave me a Fight Club vibe and the makers admitted to being influenced by it.
What i though about Ecoin from Evil Corp (Which apparently is a hint to Enron/Microsoft, etc) is that its more or less Ripple. Libra wasn't in the radar.

Interestingly they predict the fall of USD, today more than ever this reality seems to be approaching.

As for youtube, well its google. The google of old, had a motto of doing not evil, but they removed that years ago, i guess they too are Ecorp, with all their data mining and absolute surveillance etc.

The horror of watching whatever that video content is about, i can bet its about some idiotic ad of a product obviously not available in my country. Not like the net cares, if it refers to the show itself...

In my opinion America was on the verge of rebellion after so many days of quarantine and economic collapse. You do remember that some demonstrations against isolation started appearing here and there, before the "yet another case or police brutality" occurred. Combine both, stir, and serve...

Well perhaps also, you don't have the most tactful president in the White House right now... Have you not moved your funds into bitcoin yet?

Interestingly this is a built in feature of "money that does not lose value over time" such as gold coins or bitcoin. You can see it for example in virtual currency used in games, you keep to that "gold" saving it until you can afford to buy what you really want. Its more of a savings based economy, rather than getting in debt to get it quicker but then become a slave.

Also banks become redundant for the most part. Fiat money loses value, and you have to put it in bank so that it doesn't lose as much, but then the bank can bankrupt, thanks to the legalized ponzi scheme known as fractional reserve banking. Another side effect of "money that does not lose value over time" is that the remaining banks have to switch to full reserve practices, unless the client specifically want to loan his money, in which case the money becomes unavailable until paid back or returns when it gets in the danger zone of non-fulfillment.

Now consider if the entire world stops using cash. Think of the many banknotes and coins that don't need to me printed or minted again and again and again. Isn't this important? Of course there will be less banks, you should count that as well.

As i said many times, mining becoming unprofitable means it shrinks, and the problem is solving itself. This also opens the doors for the renewable miners, those using clean energy, as the new (easier) difficulty accommodates better for them. There will be more smaller farms than the giant Chinese monsters. Those who prepared and invested in renewable energy, are ahead than the rest. If you depend in paying an utility bill, you were doing it wrong, and thus went into red.

Shrink and diversify, the free market is at work.

* And yes, i don't call it deflationary because its a bit of a misnomer, in reality the fiats and altcoins lose value overtime, because they are designed intentionally to do so (and those pegged to them). Its actually not bitcoin's fault that they do so. An economy under deflation works according to the Austrian school of economy. Throw away whatever the Chicago school says, and learn how it works. There is nothing to fear, embrace it and leave the inflation coins and their debt induced expansion cycles behind.

Never again should any politician have the power to make money out of thin air, thus impoverishing everyone's wealth. If the USD falls, you WILL remember this...

But, but, can i still not do 0.1 sat/B transactions yet? Awww...

I wonder if there is a roadmap somewhere to ever declare a version 1.0, like some specific goal or such. With this versioning, you could easily climb to v 0.100 and beyond...
