Thanks for that.

I guess even with that information, you would still need another level of transparency to prove whether or not Bitmain had been using this firmware upgrade for any definitive amount of time. Just seeing blocks within their pools, or even the unknown pools can't be verified as the claim could be that it was a known asic boost miner.

With all this, I've been going back over the beginning of this thread and I admit to being lost.


How did this play into things, if the firmware upgrade works on all s9's does that mean the chips were already designed with this feature in mind?

Does this somehow violate the patent held by Halong?

You're not wrong. That's why I just pointed the member to how they could update the post and not wind up being banned.

I've always liked that there are some members who bring the discord stuff here, as well as the team members who do the same.

In regards to the other garbage you mention anything violating the posting policy can be reported to moderators, differing opinions on the coin even if just veiled fuss nothing really to be done about that but beat it back with facts.

If you check the discord channel, Chatturga pinned the same message there. So technically the other poster would have been copying the actual original.



Not sure what Chaturgas official role is within the RVN development network, but they do generally handle the dissemination of info across the platforms. I could see Chatyrga easily not noticing someone else having beaten them to updating the forum.

Might not be your intention; but a topic like this just freaks of fishing for merits. Much like the 100 that preceded it.

A good practice going forward if you truly just want to Express your sentiments would be to post this within the thread about the change as opposed to cluttering up the board with a redundant thread.

Do you mean the first [ANN] or the second one, lol.

Been a crazy few months. Sold some not expecting this crazy a surge, so the rest has to stay locked up for later

Wait a minute... The FHF a rag tag group from an american city fought in WW2. Pearl harbor happened in WW2.

Pearl harbor is in Hawaii... Stitch crash landed in hawaii.

Ad tinfoil hat and I get... the BTCT SS moderation and crushers of ideas.

Or a reasonable moderation policy applied to everyone, and explained when feelings are bruised. Can't be this it's to obvious.

"Blockchain" doesn't care about fair. The system doesn't really care about anything except when a submitted hash is the right difficulty to solve the block.

Assuming all things being equal with power; everyone in that instant has the same chance of solving the block.

The time really doesn't mean anything except that mathematically given a difficulty and your hash power in theory you should solve a block in x amount of time.

The 10 minutes of work isn't related to that one block it attributes to the total timeframes you solo mine attempting to solve 1 block. It could be 1 minute it could be 100 years. Damn luck.

When it comes to Bitmain, who knows what goes on behind the curtain.

I want around for the "yay" Bitmain days just, the bad reputation and ill will part of their business so far.

Is there a way for the public to tell if a block was mined by an asic boost piece of equipment? I know the pool can tell but I sort of assume that's just because the hardware is connected, and you know what hardware runs asic boost.

This sounds just as sketchy as when a newbie in the marketplace says they sold it local after being questioned for proof.

Because I like the story I hope this ends well for all involved; but it sounds more like a fairytale I'd tell the kids.

I haven't really been following this to closely, as I don't own any asic boost hardware.

Bitmain tweeted that they have new firmware to activate this for the S9's

https://twitter.com/BITMAINtech/status/1054329450018435074

What sort of hash increase can people expect? Are th eefficiency numbers going to get better for the S9's that are currently available or is this just going to be more powerful?

It's pretty cheap to put in a singe 240V circuit near the panel. You can use some conduit to protect the cable and surface mount it all. That way you could run this miner.

Just a thought because using the miner as a heater isn't really about efficiency of the equipment. You need all the heat it can produce and you would be paying for it in some other way, so the coins are almost pure profit.  You only need to earn enough to cover the cost of the equipment, and in your case the only limitation is running on 110. That being said you could look into older miners and figure out the best case for your situation.

Is that 2 fine blocks this morning. Second one is loaded nice.

Good way to wind down the nightshift. I won't even be mad if the block bot wakes me up with another.

Still multiposting

They did but there is one on page 19, where they are already complaining about the requirements... and getting them wrong. I poked around a bit because I know your feedback generally has a legit reference to it.




Nothing fishy each DT has his or her reasons for tagging people. Some specialize in hunting down scam Ico's and their promoters. Some just catch the random passerby doing things they consider untrustworthy. That would explain why you aren't seeing the "rainbow of reasons for tagging" that you are expecting.

Thanks for the info. I didn't think it would be much of an issue to add the reason for permabans. I guess they eventually get the reason when they appeal in meta.


So it's like a signature ban by mprep 

Op Stop multi- posting, there is an edit button for a reason.

The feedback was left months, and in Vods case years ago.

The fact is simple, at some point you did something they deem untrustworthy. That's the system in place. It doesn't really prevent you from using the forum, but gives people a heads up that there may be circumstances they should look into/ask about before trading with you. I can't speak for them, but all you can do is try to rebuild the reputation and then ask for it to be removed; doubtful but you never know.

Generally only have to explain this to newbies.

Hey there please review WTS thread and update your ad.

Focus on links to photos, and the use of Escrow/Accepted payment methods.

I came across this Ban thread.

I was surprised when they had the reason for the ban available. Is this just because it was a temporary ban or is this now in all ban messages?

I'm hoping it's the later, I've always thought that it could be a simple drop down selection for whoever imposes the ban. It would cut down on the repetitive threads where they feign innocence, then when confronted with evidence beg for leniency.

This is a piece of the rules of the forum.

You posted somewhere to receive a "prize" or money from a giveaway. I don't know what thread. That breaks the rules. You have to wait 7 days and then you get your account again.

Please follow the mprep quote and read the rules to avoid further bans.


Not exactly, banned members are allowed to make a new account and create a single thread in Meta regarding the ban. Usually it's to try and have it overturned.

I was intrigued by this and did some digging, I first found the Admin profile for the forum.

Then After searching for "u=2" bitcointalk.org

I found this. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4591070.0

They're pretty much talking about the same thing you are. I guess you could Pm Satoshi, sure they'd clear it up for you.

Maybe they can decipher what I think of them and their shady "Illegal Criminal Outlaw" gang.
