Don't compare the profitability of mining and buying a bitcoin they are different. You can reach the ROI fast  in mining depending on where you live or if you have free or very cheap electricity rate.
Buying bitcoin and hold them for a long time is always effective but mining will generate you more bitcoin and you can hold them until blockhalving to make more profit.

Have you read the specification you provided above?
Check it again and scroll down.

They release 4 types of s17+ they do also have s17+ 76TH/s and s17+ 67TH/s.

About comparison between them check this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230097.0
Its only related to temp comparison for s17+ and the pro version.

There is Viabtc TX accelerator I tried to submit it there but the problem the TX fee is too low.
The other option is to use their paid service if you want to include your transaction to mine and confirm soon. However, their paid service is a bit expensive.

If you are one of the miner from f2pool you can use this tool below.

But since you said you are newbie you can't able to use that tool unless if there is someone here who mine on that pool and let you use his refferal code.

Another option if you have control of the wallet where you sent BTC you can try CPFP.

Isn't that generating a seed on Electrum through commands will work in the offline machine?
Or needs internet because the command will send to servers/any nodes.

Just want to confirm currently I have a broken PC can't confirm it but if it's allowed to generate seed offline through command then this is the safer one.

That's too much work if just want to hold them all coins ledger is the perfect solution for your needs without compromising your wallet just make sure that you save or write down the seed phrase on the piece of paper for future recovery.

Or for the safety of your backup seed you can use ELLipal Mnemonic metal or Keystone - Indestructible Steel Crypto Cold Storage Seed Backup, Which supports All BIP39 seeds. It is safer than holding the backup digitally.

You can check this "Current list of ASIC miner manufacturer/distributor".

There are two active manufacturer that sells cheap units the shop.canaan.io and shop.bitmain.com but check the Canaan they are selling cheaper their a1126 pro is around $480.

If you are looking for used units try to contact offordscott

Why don't you just go check and read the braiins documentation about reverting or flashing it back to factory firmware?

Check this link https://docs.braiins.com/os/20.03/open-source-en/Setup/2_upgrade_downgrade_uninstall.html#flashing-a-factory-firmware


about JP4 if you just want to boot it to braiins without flashing it then you need to download the right firmware there are two options to download, the one is "auto-install to nand" and "Run from SD card" download the "Run from SD card" and paste the contents to SD. And then if you want to boot it don't forget to move the JP4 it is the same as how you flashed the unit before but this time if you move the JP4 to the original position then the miner will boot to the original firmware.

Nicehash is not a pool they rented your miner and anytime they can switch to mine other coins than Bitcoin but you are paid in Bitcoin depending on your miner's valid shares.

About other pools check the ViaBTC pool or try to find other pools here https://miningpoolstats.stream/bitcoin
That's the real pool compared to using Nicehash.

Based on the 2nd image above it looks like the hashrate is fine and the 20th/s is the average hashrate look at the chart carefully there is a  gap on the first run and also look at the current hashrate it's sending 22th/s.

Never heard of peerwallet before I tried to check it on Whois the result the domain is old but archive.org tells me that the website was just recently purchased.

Most people here are always looking for a P2P exchange that accepts all digital payments but we do not trust a new business that uses aged domain it is more likely used for marketing or scam purposes.

If you are the owner of this website if you want to build trust here better hire a campaign manager and promote it here through a signature campaign.

What pool do you mine? You might be trying to mine in the Asicboost pool which is not compatible with the S3 unit.

Access through IP its should have a dashboard then look for mining logs and post them here.

We should see the issue under that logs and don't forget to put all logs inside the code tag its a # button when editing a post here.

Where or what pool do you mine? Check carefully if you pasted it with extra spaces or letters because the miner will not work properly if the Url has extra spaces or extra letters.

Another thing is your internet may be very slow and unstable plus the pool server you use has a high ping.

Why not test it with BraiinsOS? If your concern is you don't know to put it back to stock firmware why not just boot the miner with an SD card instead of flashing it directly to the nand?

I don't know if it's normal but if it's stable mining at 20th/s for me it's fine but if you want to find out the reason my guess is the PSU is not giving enough power or you might need to cool down the miner a bit to avoid throttle.

Another thing that I noticed from your logs is that you are mining on nicehash with the asicboost pool which I think is the reason why it's not mining at full or more than 20th/s.

This is a common issue in Electrum some servers are actually blocked by AV or sometimes Electrum is not syncing properly or the electrum is totally red/disconnected from the server due to malware.

Changing the server manually should fix this issue and I do recommend you to keep your AV/Malwarebytes aggressive to make sure your PC is safe if it detects and blocked a few servers just let it block only the server and then use other servers which are not infected.

It's pretty bad to hear news daily after the issue happen to FTX now crypto.com. I never use this exchange but I usually see this in sports like a basketball under the floor.

This will never change it is likely the same as what happens to other exchanges in every bear market or when the market is down. I feel like they are making more profit from declaring bankruptcy and making money from insurance.
Then sooner there is a newborn exchange and new CEO coming out but I believe the owner is still the old owner of the other exchange that recently declares bankruptcy. Look at the Poloniex.

How many months your friend didn't visit the site?

Is it your real friend? Or you just found this girl/man on the telegram?

Look at the domain age below



Are you sure that she is your friend?

And I never heard of any exchange or broker site that uses the .pro domain. They usually use .com and country-related domains.

So I think she's not your friend she might be just promoting the website or trying to ask help from you until she asks for a deposit amount to withdraw the money it is more likely a scam attempt.

I could also see the promotion on Google but after clicking it it seems they remove it. It looks like a falls promotion or maybe they have limited coupons available.


They thought they could get a way. Let's see if they still giving out the coupon.

How about the transaction history tab do you see any transaction there?
If no then there maybe something that electrum is blocked syncing to any server.
I suggest try to switch to other server by clicking the green circle or change your device DNS to Google/Cloudflare DNS.

There are lots of crypto portfolio trackers right now just give sometimes to search on PlayStore. If you are lazy then you can use the other suggestion above but I'm currently using these trackers below for free.

- Coingecko app - it needs to register but it's free and most of the coins are listed there.
- CryptoMarketcap - using this for a long time for free and I like their widget.

Other tracker that you can check.

- Crypto Tracker Coin stats
- The Crypto app - Coin Tracker

If your purpose is for studying bitcoin mining and you don't want to spend much then go for Compact F USB miner the price of this miner I think is around 100-150$ in Amazon it's pretty cheap and you can find the guide below.

What OS do you currently using? Is it still Braiins or stock firmware?

Because if you revert to stock firmware without bypassing the fan check you will always get some error and the miner will not work properly. If Braiins then it still has an error fan so you still need to bypass or disable the fan check.
