The S9 chips are at least two generations behind, and are different.

This happens a lot with CPUs and GPUs, some can take a temperature, next model has a much lower limit. So what you did with S9 does not apply with S17 or S19.

The S17 tends to desolder itself so i bet it would get damaged from that, way before the chip real limit.

If you want to believe the manufacturer, PCB is roughly 15° less than CHIP and you can use that as reference, so 75+15=90 max.
I wouldn't trust it, let the miner slow down itself with dynamic power scaling using either default temperature values or lower.

But the ESP32-C3 is a computer... All asic miners have one to run the mining software (aka "control" board), they are ARM based, but i assume sooner or later they will switch to RISC-V like you did. China is particularly strongly interested in moving out from arm into risc-v.

So technically you just need to plug the Compac F to one of those SoC solutions via USB and port/compile cgminer to the appropriate architecture or replace it with your own mining software.

I'm curious about the availability of BM1397 at this point, shouldn't you aim for later chips now?

Or avoid running an insecure OS where Malware can change the name resolution of legit sites into phishing sites...

And yet, the graph shows how things were before February... So what exactly is improving? Pointing an issue is not "doom and gloom" but reality and that's all there is in that graph. However you want to interpret it, is not going to change it.

So altcoins, therefore, not here.

Easy: you start by requesting Bitmain the modifications done to cgminer that made it possible to work with those chips, which they are obligated to provide. Good luck...

Are you running them flat like the S17? You should... with the bigger heatsinks pointing up.

Oh why is Bitmain repeating this mistake? These things should be used in immersion only...

Why mix company name with brand? Either you call all by company name: Bitmain, MicroBT, Canaan, or all by brand: Antminer, Whatsminer, Avalon. Whats with this confusion remaining after all these years... Every car has a branding and are also made by some company, and so do the miners.

Bitmain has the most efficient chips, and MicroBT the best quality at nearly the same efficiency, Canaan seems to be getting left behind.

You don't have an "m10 from whatsminer", its from MicroBT. They even put an M in the model for you to remember...

When Bitmain went back to the previous cooling method (screwing large heatsinks to the hashboard), like they did with almost all S19s, reliability was pretty good. Of course they HAD to retry with the S19j pro+ the same thing they did with the S17....

Meanwhile MicroBT keeps doing the same thing, even in the M56: Large heatsinks screwed to the hashboards.

Canaan did had good cooling designs, but it seems they couldn't cope with the chip itself.


Now with immersion, Bitmain way may be better to squeeze the last bit of efficiency. Time will tell...

Technically its not the volcano but the magma flow that goes to it. Its done generally around inactive volcanos for obvious reasons.

The magma boils the water underground, so all you need is drill a hole and it spits out steam that is used to turn a turbine, then you capture that vapor let it condense and send it down to the underground again.

Its not "like" geothermal, it literally is geothermal. It just happens that volcanos tend to have magma flows to them.

I think Americans have a place with geysers; Yellowstone park?, that's the same energy just being wasted. Underground water is being boiled until the pressure makes it "erupt" until inside pressure falls, the water returns underground and the process repeat.

Espero que algunos acá aprendan la lección de no depender de Exchanges (casa de cambio). Si, esto es solo tema de EE.UU., pero les demuestra como el Estado puede fácilmente interferir y cerrar estos Exchanges.

Bitcoin no es Exchanges, ni Bancos, ni Estado.

Binance parece que sencillamente no va operar en EE.UU., pero tienen a casi todo el resto del mundo en atado a su monopolio. Supongo que la SEC necesita quitar todas esas "stable coin" que perjudican a la CBDC que la FED intentaba introducir.

Creo que algunos políticos se tomaron en serio aquella escena de la serie Mr Robot sobre Bitcoin... Bueno esa escena pretendía que apoyaran algo tipo Ripple, y no una propia del Estado, pero a los políticos les encanta controlar ellos todo y EE.UU. simplemente repite la idea de China con el Yuan Digital, prohibiendo todo lo demás.

Creo que de suerte decidieron tratar a Bitcoin distinto al "resto", a diferencia de los Chinos. Y los exchange en pánico delistan esas altcoin, pero no servirá de nada, van contra todo lo que no es de ellos. Ah. cuando un Estado interviene directamente en la economía, no puede ocurrir otra cosa que una distorsión que todos pagarán luego. Supongo que en este caso habrán arruinado a mas de un "inversor" de altcoins.

Los exchanges no están regulados pero actúan como Banco. ¿Hacen reserva fraccionaria? ¿Y quien los va a auditar?. No es solución que el Estado los audite, la solución es que tu entiendas que son un riesgo y no deben usarse a menos que lo entiendas. Tal como un Banco, no sirve para "guardar" dinero, y de hecho no lo hacen pero eso es lo que hay que enseñar a los demás. El banco NO GUARDA tu dinero, y un exchange menos. Un deposito a un banco es un préstamo que tu le haces al banco con la promesa que te lo va pagar de vuelta. Entiendan esto de una vez y no caigan en ese ponzi legalizado que es la reserva fraccionaria.

El dinero fiat pierde valor porque el sistema lo diseñó así, no usarlo o no arriesgarlo en un banco intencionalmente hace que pierda poder de compra mas rápido, esa es la idea. Y solo la pueden romper liberándose con Bitcoin.

Solo cuando entiendan esto (y se lean mas sobre la Escuela Austríaca de economía) entenderán todo.

Ese es tu problema: Windows.

Hazlo en Linux y veras como si funciona. NTFS lo que va es a matar ese pendrive. Hay que usar algo tipo ext4 sin journal, btrfs o f2fs.

PD: Si es estafa pues reformatearlo en un sistema operativo decente, probablemente revele el problema...

Because PPS pools need money, TONS of money, and PPLNS pools are unpopular unless they get a hashrate measured in exahashes per second which creates a catch22. Some of the largest PPS pools are getting funds from "elsewhere" so they are not self-sustained, otherwise they are impossible with those pool fees. But of course it is in their interest to extinguish the others...

GPUs are useless to mine bitcoin since at least a decade.

What a derailment. You turned this thread into an anti franky1 discussion and ignore completely the topic.

6 Months...

I experienced inflation of... The fiat here lost 14 zeroes in the span of a decade, still ongoing, it slowed down somewhat after the economy was flattened at the bottom. I should have gone to bitcoin when things were only starting, its too late after that. There is no time to react when it happens, do it now while you can.

Inflation always starts slow, and progresses logarithmically.

3 times is what, 300%? peanuts.

Its simple, don't keep fiat. Exchange it for bitcoin or anything you can sell later, even bricks are worth more than fiat. No money in banks either, you will lose all of it or its purchasing power. No exchanges, you never know when those fail or the State seizes it. Not Your Keys, Not Your Coins...

The State is there to squeeze the wealth out of you, one way or another. You can only liberate yourselves with Bitcoin. Inflation is the worst tax, it affects the poor most because they don't usually keep wealth invested in things like properties or luxury items they could sell later if things get bad...

And it doesn't matter if bitcoin price goes up or not, don't do it like a "get rich" scheme. Here the important thing is that fiat is designed to lose value, so bitcoin doesn't have to go up when everything else around it is going down. It does goes up from time to time from the people who perceive it as it is: a way to liberate themselves from the State. Speculating traders may push the price up and down a bit in the market, but long term the tendency is clear: the opposite of fiat.

You can delete those values, then Save & Apply, and it will restore defaults.

Well if they get more and more dust sure thing they will get hotter and hotter. Immersion has this advantage or remaining clean if the tank remains closed.

External air cooling has the advantage of more CFM and with less noise too, especially when you can control something like the 8" AC Infinity directly from the control board using the njord adapter.

Many WIFI routers now isolate wired from wireless by default so its even more pointless to use an IP scan app (and its becoming popular to isolate wifi from each other too). You should only scan from the same wired LAN where your miners are.

Don't worry, this new v25 release allows smaller transactions, smaller as in 65kb...

I think they need to mention somewhere of the need to maintain the private keys confidential, not let them be seen by others who could just rush to steal the coins. Like those American cops that showed seed words on tv or something.
