So you may not know about the Bitcoin island in Honduras either, interesting.

Oh yes, Bitcoin City in El Salvador is the only one that has (so far) promised no taxes except for VAT.

For the time being I'm downgrading to 0.21.0. According to the release notes:

"This release implements the proposed Taproot consensus rules (BIP341 and BIP342), without activation on mainnet. Experimentation with Taproot can be done on signet, where its rules are already active. (#19553)"

Indeed, it is the next release 0.21.1 that says its enabled on mainnet.

Without taproot ordinals breaks no? good for now...

And the truth is nobody was forced, the USD was not banned (unlike what happened in my country until 2019) and yet its legal tender nation wide, which is why El Salvador is in the headlines and not Guatemala.

Some people want to mix Bukele's other policies with Bitcoin for political reasons. I agree with Bukele, imprisoning all the gangs stopped the murders. Of course their economy is smaller, crime didn't let the country prosper since none of the other politicians did nothing about it. And those same politicians have political allies with the neighbors and they love saying crap against Bukele. Even the Colombian socialist buffoon did. Its mostly the Marxist parties with some others added to the mix.

But now El Salvador is growing, fast. You are just jealous your politicians have been too slow to adopt it as legal tender, which they should...
Otherwise investors will keep pouring to El Salvador first. And yes, there are people also adopting Bitcoin in regions of Honduras, without the blessing of the State... Everyone is repeating El Zonte, but they miss either a Bukele or a political party to support them.

El Salvador under Bukele led the way, and all you can do now is follow, and follow you should, or else you will simply miss it. And that's the truth, no matter what you say.

I'm glad some communities are adopting, just like how it started in El Zonte, but when are those dinosaur politicians move to declare it legal tender? Scared of what the IMF/WB would say? This is so the State doesn't get in the way. Yes people can do it without their blessing anyway, but why not step out of the way like El Salvador did?

In El Salvador, you don't have to use Chivo wallet ever. Its an option, not an obligation. If you want more focus to your country, move those dinosaur politicians in the right direction. Adopt Bitcoin NOW, pass a law and declare it legal tender. Or who knows, maybe Honduras will do it first...

First we don't need banks. Second, yes to all. Can't do it in your country? Move to El Salvador. Blame your politicians for being fools, not Bitcoin.

Tengo años sin saber de Dogecoin, pero me parece que sin segwit no se podrá implementar con la misma facilidad, así que irónicamente está a salvo.

Hasta donde yo se, lo del solo IVA es en Bitcoin City, el resto del país mantiene los otros impuestos. La idea es estimular la inversión en ese mega-proyecto.

Está difícil considerar que es "pérdida" bajar o eliminar impuestos. Estas medidas tienden a estimular la economía la cual crece y por ende aumenta la recaudación de los que dejan.

Por ejemplo si alguien quiere vivir a lujos se compra su gran auto y su gran mansión, pagará mas iva por ellos. Hay personas que no quieren llevar la vida de ricos aunque no necesiten trabajar mas para mantenerse y el Estado no necesita hacerse cargo de ellos con una pensión, etc.

El Salvador también tiene potencial de convertirse en el "retiro dorado" de unos cuantos.

The default configuration is minimum required fans 1, as long as you have 1 fan or spoofer plugged, it will hash unless it overheats and stops due to reaching Dangerous temperature.

It will save all the profiles. So you can tune it for low power, and when stable, switch back to the default quickly, and to the low power quickly.

No, because every miner is slightly different, main reason autotune by Braiins OS+ is unique while others take shortcuts which are not as efficient or adapt to your real chip situation in real time 24/7.

16g is what the manufacturer says. I presume it may work with 32gb as long as its sdhc and NOT sdxc, but smaller sizes are safer.

womanderful: Yes that's the general idea, and the steps are 1 watt. But you should double check by measuring at the wall, since its only an estimation, and in the case of the x19 family, higher chip temperature will make it use more power while producing the same hashrate. Min and max values depend on miner model / submodel / variant. You can also just disable one or two hashboards (each hashboard gets 1/3 if this value). Or you could just pause the mining completely and resume hashing later.

Support has vastly increased compared to previous versions, at least using the bbb or Zynq control boards, almost all x19 should work now, except the jpro+ because that's too recent, or the S19i and S19+ from being too rare.

Eso tiene años pasando en la India, hay varios videos en youtube de vigilantes atacándolos y de como estos se vuelven a recomponer.

Lo que ocurre ahora es que aumentan sus herramientas para cometer robos y estafas. Si buscan sobre "centros de llamada" para estafas en la india (sobre todo en inglés) van a encontrar (y ver / escuchar) montones.

Ya si la Unión Europea no actúa en bloque contra la India esto no se va mover. Cada que Interpol les avisa, hacen un allanamiento para aparentar que si los persiguen, pero es algo así como que cierran uno aparecen 3, generalmente con los mismos dueños detrás ligados al poder seguramente.

Y se fijan, van contra la tercera edad de países desarrollados, ese es su objetivo principal, explotar la brecha digital de las generaciones anteriores.

Mucha gente al día de hoy no conoce lo que la inteligencia artificial es capaz de hacer. Parece de "ciencia ficción" a veces, pero ya es real.

Bueh, en Japón tienen esa opción para "aumentar" las contraseñas, ya que puedes escribir lo mismo en hiragana, katakana o kanji y/o una combinación arbitraria, aparte de nuestro alfabeto occidental que encima se puede poner a medio ancho, ancho completo y normal (3 variantes).

Las frases semilla se supone que son intencionalmente sencillas. Si te fijas, no llevan mayúsculas, que sería aproximadamente lo mismo.

Bueno al fin pasó la segunda transacción, se llevó 3 días desde que subí a 3 sat/b, 11 en total. Quien sabe cuanto tardará la próxima vez si no se hace absolutamente nada y mas spammer inundan la mempool.

No solo están estos, también yugalabs y los punk no se que cosa. Yo paso de nfts son todos basura, aunque ese mercado les ha dado una buenas ganancias a algunos, pero no debería ser a costa de las transacciones normales de Bitcoin...

Y lo de Silvergate lo que hizo fue recordar al mundo la futilidad de las "stable" coin, que de estable no tienen ni su nombre.

The whole idea of a "stable" coin is flawed because it depends on external factors which in turns creates a distortion which grows and grows until it breaks. It is the same reason pegging a fiat to another will end up the same way even when enforced by the State (if you check history, behind hyperinflation there is always a pegging). The so called "volatile" price of Bitcoin is a honest market price, as shown in the long term graphs, its a steady climb. The people who don't understand fail to realize fiat is a descent (by design, infinite emission).

So it either breaks because their reserve was too low, because someone played with the reserves, because code failed to react to external events or data came "too late", etc. Pegging always breaks sooner or later, you are simply being blindfolded from the truth, just like a PPS pool...

There are too many elements that can make a peg break, and they all do sooner or later. So its best to not peg in the first place. To add insult to injury, almost none of those "stable" coins are "tokens", meaning they don't even have their own blockchain to begin with. It is hilarious that some even peg against each other so things like Luna occur.

You could argue it was not Circle's fault the bank they choose to put their reserves failed. Of course they can fail, they do fractional reserve. Guess who also does fractional reserve? That's right, Circle. None of the badly called "stable" tokens do 1:1 and even if they did, the other external factors (like in this case, a bank failing) could hit them regardless.

Do you trust your bank? Why trust these? Don't trust, verify: Bitcoin. P2P electronic cash, no banks, no exchanges, no State. Its not a mere asset...

Yeah this is the big problem that some people want to pretend its nothing.

Ordinals as a project, i don't know why waste time discussing it. It can be perfect, doesn't matter. The problem is Bitcoin letting the spam in, not Ordinals being great or trash, the quality of the spam doesn't matter just the fact that it found an exploit to get in.

And this harms Bitcoin, not Ordinals, they can move anywhere else anyway. Besides the spam is not just Ordinals, that's the other thing some are not seeing (or pretend its nothing). Ordinals merely showed the way and other spammers are following.

I know which one it is. People still mine but at risk of being discovered/incarcerated everything confiscated and the State mining with that using the military (underpaid exploited labor). Unless its some big whale with deep connections willing to share profits with them...

Say NO to discrimination, this is a politician mistake, thinking some industry is "bad" and needs to be "punished".

Since when the IT industry is bad? Data centers and Bitcoin mining are the same, why the discrimination? So he prefers more polluting industry instead? Or he simply wants that wealth out of the country? Don't worry, those large miners have no trouble moving elsewhere, just look at what happened in China...

Until the mining profits are low enough that large operations become unfeasible, it will remain occurring somewhere in the world.. There is no need to do anything, as this activity is destined to dwindle over time, thanks to the halving, which is just a governor for the inevitable.

And what about those that built/purchased their own power plants? A century ago if a factory wanted electricity they had to generate it on site on their own. Grids became a thing later.

Why does Biden care if a nuclear power plant is destined for this and not a town? This is the socialist mindset. Some are even curtailing voluntarily and just use the excess. In the future when this operation isn't as profitable, the power plant may still be there to connect it to the grid after the mining operation is closed.

As always, the best is for the State to not meddle and let the free market do its thing.

Like i said (and showed) before, the nodes rejected the 1~2 sat/b tx forcing me to triplicate this value to be accepted again and yet its still waiting. The obvious thing is pay more fees thanks to the spammers for you, but not for everybody else.

There is no Bitcoin there, only Coinbase is mentioned. An exchange is NOT Bitcoin. Bitcoin is paying and being paid bitcoins, p2p wallet to wallet, no exchanges, no 3rd parties, no banks, no State, no financial system. Heck, Bitcoin doesn't ask you KYC unlike this exchange...

I already know this. And you should know, the likes of Facebook know this. Those algorithms are smart enough to not try compressing what can't be compressed anymore, and in addition to that btrfs will on its own by default test if something can be compressed, if not, it won't do it on a file by file basis.

I never said 50% did i? It depends on the data.

I was not referring to every miner, i clearly said certain, implying an specific individual who made such comments. But if you want to feel elitist as well and ridicule people for wanting to do normal transactions, that is your choice.

Its been 10 days, 3 since the spam forced me to triplicate the tx fee, still waiting... Are you happy with the suffering of others? Is your mining op any healthier now? Enjoy the price...

This is why you simply add more units. Efficiency is more important than raw TH, its what leaves more profit in the end.
From my data provided by users, lowering the chip temperature is also a key factor.

There is even a 104T jpro doing 104T at 24 J/T at vanilla 65°C.
The best is a similar 104T jpro doing 64T 20 J/T but at 38°C
So think of this like this (with the magic of buying two): 128T 2686W. (at 15/T its $1920) vs one XP 127T 2731W (at 28/T would be $3556).

See the pattern? That jpro 104T is a good buy, the 100T is decent as well.

Well lzo is faster which is what i normally use. zstd can compress more but takes a little more writing, reading is very fast (intended for their datacenters, you know facebook etc). You can also change the compression level in the mount options.
