Well it appears to produce the same 8 TH than the R4, but at what wattage, 500w?

Passive cooling sounds interesting, where does the 40db come from? Its psu?

15Kg is like 3 times heavier than the R4

Price is, a bit expensive, but so was the R4. At this point in time spending the same amount for 8 THs i'm not sure its worth. You could take something like a damaged S17/S15 with just two or one working boards and achieve the same or better.

Don't get me wrong, silent miners are important, i welcome this addition. Would love to see something with MicroBT or Bitmain newer chips...

Who is Frodo?

16v got very lucky this time...

Well you simply can't. Best you can do is guesstimate, if you measure your own miner with each different setting,

I suggest you don't bother with this unless you are willing to provide full source code.

There is no complication if your miner has the sd card reader (some don't).

All you do is:

• put the image in the sd card
• turn off miner
• move jumper jp4
• insert card
• turn on miner

It cannot be more simpler than that. Well it actually can, if you decide to flash it to your controller instead...

Never ever use Bitmain firmware from 2019, it won't let you downgrade, and closes ssh.

Do try booting with Braiins OS, you can simply put an sd card and move jumper jp4 to boot from it. Braiins OS allows fixed frequency settings among other goodies. Take our the sd card and move the jumper back and its like nothing ever happened.

Far better than messing with Bitmain firmware,  especially avoid 2019 versions.

I wouldn't exactly call it wild, its more like anarchism, or anarcho-capitalism where a community that invests in it (with mining gear) get to control it collectively, but decentralized.

This community more or less made Bitcoin incorporate segwit, among other subtle changes during its lifetime.

A large Chinese entity wanted (and tried) to steer Bitcoin to another direction, but failed, and like the rest, resorted to make yet another altcoin.

Corporate coins are not too different to government coins. They are all "control" freaks, and with it comes centralization and weakening of their own blockchains. So this facebook thing only millionaries can run nodes, that means there will be few of them.

Maybe not in all countries (stupidity still dominates some), but more and more will understand and accept it, and thus bring new sources of wealth to their people.

Even if its not legal in a couple of places, people from there will still transact underground. Bitcoin is unstoppable, as much as the internet, and some even argue more than, because of decentralization and blockchain.

The game is not over, but Bitcoin is winning.

And how exactly the Indian authorities are going to enforce this? Their stupidity is infinite.

Boot Tail OS live linux iso, make cold wallet with Electrum, write your seed words, share your wallet addresses online or whatever, shut off pc.

Where is the money? In the blockchain. People don't "possess" bitcoin, or wallets for that matter...

Now they would have to "prove" an individual could control a group of coins, how are you going to do that? The seed words are perfect for stenography, just pick a random book and mark some words, etc.

India should take a look at its neighbor China to see how well they ended enforcing things like that, ie. quite the opposite result.

Indian people might take it underground, but stopping it is impossible, it is designed to prevent this,

If you are Indian make your cold wallet now and keep your coins safe until those old fools making this "law" leave this plane of existence. Banning Bitcoin is a perfect way to keep wealth away from your country, don't be surprised one of your neighbors adopt it and become rich while you continue the misery for your people.

Please OP, don't say "Third world country", spell it correctly: India wants to impoverish their people even more by banning Bitcoin.

New version out!

All mining hardware types
    

• [feature] YES, we have a new logo that is consistent with the new Braiins logo, hope, you like it ;-)
• [feature] the IP report button feature now broadcasts a UDP datagram compatible with the original S9 factory firmware
• [feature] the miner now stores the reason of the last cgminer exit/failure in /tmp/cgminer_quit_reason. The miner status page now presents the actual reason along with a confirmation button to clear the last failure status
• [feature] fix web status data loading when connecting to miners in remote locations with considerable latencies
• [feature] universal SD card images - each SD card image tries to detect device MAC address from any firmware image that is present in NAND flash. This simplifies using the same SD card image on multiple devices without the need for manually generating editing uEnv.txt on each card
• [feature] it is now possible to install bOS into flash memory from a running SD card - see the docs for details
• [feature] increase stratum connect() timeout to 3 seconds to prevent harassing stratum servers to early when probing all IP address for a given URL
• [feature] attempt to perform opkg install firmware on bOS instance running from SD card now visibly tells the user that this is not a supported operation (= you should obtain a new SD card image and write it to your SD card)
• [feature] TUN/TAP module is now part of the base system as we cannot use upstream modules due to custom kernel. These can be useful for OpenVPN
• [bug] #xnsub support for NH stratum extension has been fixed
• [bug] a few memory leaks in bmminer and cgminer API have been fixed

Antminer S9
    

• [feature] there are 2 new options: --disable-sensors - the mining software acts as if there were no temperature sensors found. That is fan would be running at 100% unless set to some manually override value --disable-remote-sensors - mining software only takes temperature measurement from the hash boards and doesn't try to measure temperature on the mining chips. The actual mining chip temperature is being estimated as hash board temperature plus some empirically set offset (15 C)
• [bug] fix support for non-asicboost pools by eliminating mining.configure in case the number of configured midstates is 1 (AsicBoost disabled)

I haven't tried it but this option appears to be available. Why don't you just try it?

I would bet something like "load-balance":true in cgminer.conf would do.

Well, its about time apps like these appear, but a decentralized p2p marketplace would be better in my opinion.

I added your pool to the Bitcoin wiki of services adopting bech32 addresses.

Indeed, not virus but the controller's nand flash storage can get damaged. This is why its useful to test with Braiins OS booting from the sd card with jp4 jumper moved.

Bitmain solution simply tries to (blindly) reflash back the firmware. If this nand storage is damaged no amount of reflashes would do anything.

Cron syntax is rather simple, you can learn it by using this web page: https://crontab.guru/

This, just this. Or public sign message from any of his wallets. All others are impostors, attention seekers, or simply trolls.

I must admit these "news" attract a lot of views, anyone reporting on these faketoshis are sure going to get some nice amount of clicks/views.

Yet another exit scam... In my opinion these should be treated the same as "hackers" stealing coin, ie: share all their addresses and blacklist them immediately. All other exchanges and mixers should cooperate. Until the community organizes and gets ready, these things will keep occurring.

It might, perhaps at some point when it matures completely, and fluctuations decrease. It could be according to that, 500k would be a ceiling, if the fiat itself wasn't inflated at 2% yearly.

So the answer would be... it might.

Good find... The more the merrier?

How did this virus infect your miners? Did you ever change the web and ssh passwords?

I don't think a virus can block jp4 jumper to boot from sdcard. Did you ever try booting Braiins OS? This should work without fail.

Specially ours:


Currently 2 satoshis buy 1 bolivar, soon it will be 1:1
