Interestingly if humans were forbidden from driving, you could get rid of traffic lights completely and reduce traffic delays A LOT.
Perhaps such a day will come when humans won't be allowed to drive on public roads...

Driver-less cars are almost here, of course Uber doesn't count, but there are far more serious efforts. Still that Uber fatality could have probably occurred to a human driver given the circumstances. No, there are far more serious efforts by Google (or Alphabet) and Tesla, and i think Volvo and others too.

There is a problem of interaction of AI and human pedestrians, but even that is being improved. Humans that follow the rules are not the problem, but its because humans can ignore the rules bad things happen. The AI needs to learn defensive driving as well as minimizing damage in unforeseen events. For the couple of unfortunate Uber deaths you can also watch a ton of youtube videos of Tesla saving their drivers from nearly impossible to avoid by a human driver crash situation. Machines react faster and sense better, don't get tired (or drunk) etc.

Give it more time and fatalities by car accidents are going to dwindle, ironically because of taking the humans away from the wheel (or what i think, no wheel/pedals, like the original Waymo concept).

And not too long later, the planes will do the same thing. Its taking longer, but we will see. More than pilots and drivers, there might be an operator at most, or even a single operator for various vehicles from a remote facility. No one will be able to hijack a plane again because there won't be any way to change its course internally, just like UAVs are remote controlled and AI assisted. Suicidal pilot/copilot in a commercial aircraft? Never again.

This is also happening to ships, those giant ships moving containers or tanker ships are going to drive themselves soon.

So yeah, count self-driving self-piloting among the technologies i'm following. AI is deeply related to it.

Logically its own planetary coin, hopefully inspired by Bitcoin. I don't know if they will be fool enough to make some fiat, but whatever they do, it probably has to be their own. Because its impractical to move coins between the planets. People here complain for 10mins transactions, but communications to Mars can nearly lag an hour, that is, 24 minutes one way, 24 minutes to receive the answer (ie. 48min ping).


Mars Rover Curiosity touchdown – and you think you’ve got latency issues!

Yes, 100 years into the future sounds reasonable, or by the time the last bitcoin gets minted.

The first humans on mars won't be "settlers", but more like temporary bases not unlike those in Antartica, completely depending from home. In fact i posted elsewhere that i think it makes more sense to build an orbital station, and move it to the Mars orbit first, to start the ground work remotely (but not all the way back to Earth) before the first humans can arrive on ground. Its still cheaper and easier to move to the Mars orbit than landing. This station should have its own artificial gravity, perhaps matching that of Mars (or something between mars and earth) to help acclimate humans while they work from there to control the probes on the ground and build the future habitats.

The irony here is that Venezuela repatriated gold during Chávez (not all as you might guess), but that gold that cost a fortune to move back from foreign banks, and was kept at great expense in our national bank, is simply being sold by Maduro. They already sold a lot to the Russians. He of course has no authorization from the legislative branch, but de-facto power means they can do whatever they want and that is that.

If anything, the UK has at least kept some of the gold safe from the usurper thief. Once things normalize and the usurper is gone, that might be our last gold reserve left.

It is a double edge sword. You bring it back to your country thinking it would be "safer" but then you have to fear your corrupt politicians wont take it for themselves...

Oh well, Romania had a Ceaucescu, but we still have a Maduro. You would be surprised to know how many Venezuelans would wish for a similar ending to socialism...

You need to move that air. Don't worry too much about the ambient temperature, i know units working in tropical climate at 40°C just fine.
You have to increase the volume of air you are moving. If your miners are inside a room or warehouse, you need to move the air that goes in and out of that place. If you also put them inside a container, the container has to move that same amount as well.

You can do as NotFuzzyWarm says and guestimate 250CFM per unit. I'm not really sure about the latest models like the T15, but something like 3000CFM would do. Find something that can move that, such as a one giant fan, or two 1500CFM ones, 4 750CFM ones, etc. MOVE THAT AIR OUT!



If you have seen mining containers you will notice they basically replace the entire wall on the long side so it can flow lots of air, that works great outdoors, but if the container is inside a building, you must make sure that building is letting move that amount of air as well.



Yes i think there are inline fans strong enough, but the smaller the fans the noiser. Also you are fighting the duct itself, you have to measure the cfm in and out of the ducts. For the time being you could try replacing your inline fan with something stronger...

MV 250 provides 910m3/h = 535 cf/m, this is too weak. You can replace it with the MV EC 250 but this only gives you  971 CF/M, so you'd need at least two more ducts as a minimum. (or larger diameter ducts, which move more air).

Of course when i say BM i wasn't implying they manufacture them themselves, and even if they did, it wouldn't change anything. I don't see the point of arguing that. You could also say BM's chips were designed by the guy that left for MicroBT, that Bitmain does nothing but buys everything, but that's beyond the point of this topic.

All i wanted to know is whose chips Halong used, and its Innosillicon's chips, thanks for the answer.

I don't think you are moving enough air to put them inside the container. Your duct looks insufficient for a single unit let alone 11...

It would be nice if you measured the cfm a single unit wants while outside the container, that would give you a rough idea.

You don't have to worry about the ambient temperature too much, as long as you can take that hot air out. Your warehouse is like a box, if you don't move that air the hot air will remain and quickly heat the place (great for winter warming, not so much in summer lol).

So visualize your warehouse as a box, and think a way to move the required number of cfm in and out. If you put your miners inside another box (container), the same applies.

Hot air likes to go up, big extractors above help. And i really mean BIG extractors. But that would pull air from the outside, you must find a way to let that air in, assisted or not...

I think you simply underestimated the amount of CFM each unit needs.

So it wasn't that bad eh? Whose chips did they use? Bitmain's? Innosillicon's? Has anyone de-soldered and inspected them? GekkoScience planning something with those?

At this moment T1 users are observing 14TH/s rate while using Braiins OS, this could be because that's the true hashrate or a Braiins OS miscalculation, they are investigating...

No this is not different to fiat scammers or con artists. Punishment yes, but not the death penalty. Death penalty should be strictly used for really serious offenses, such as murder and terrorism (albeit the chinese would probably do it, as they do in theory to their corrupt officials).

Also what would you do when the (de-facto) government of a nation is the one responsible for the ICO Scam? Do you have any idea how much was collected and "lost" by the Petro ICO scam? Can you even take them to the Hague tribunal for this?

Can anyone clarify this? Where or how can we test using Tether on the Tron blockchain, and is it true you can use it without paying fees? That would prone to blockchain spam, i'd rather fees be paid with USDT itself...

As far as i know, you need satoshis to use it on the Bitcoin blockchain, and gas on the Ethereum blockchain. Why would Tron let it move for free?

Those videos all come from a youtube channel called "Bitmain Support":

No it won't happen, there could be wars from a coalition against a country, but very unlikely two coalitions will openly fight each other anymore.

Anything involving nukes is suicidal, especially if you pretend to confront one of the world powers with the largest arsenals: (USA, Russia, China?).
In conventional warfare you can barely hope to go against a small contender that doesn't get the support of the big ones.

Wait, its not infinite, there are 8 decimals. Compare it with my country's money and you will see this is not trivial. 1 bolivar (VES) currently buys 3 satoshis. Soon we would need 2 for 1 satoshi, etc.

Of course Bitcoin could be soft-forked for extra decimals, but i think the need for that might be decades away, if ever.

And not everyone buying are "clean". I can imagine more than one corrupt politician from the regime moving their ill gotten assets into crypto, if they haven't done so already...

That cannot be stopped easily, at least if they are able to use one of the anonymized altcoins. Petro is garbage/scam that will simply disappear should they fall. It is pegged, yet they change the value at whim. It has infinite supply, all nodes are in a single datacenter, code is not released... Pure garbage.

Its ironic now with crypto even rogue govs can do their ill. It used to be Swiss bank accounts but not anymore...

Can you take a video of this? Preferably with something to measure db noise?

If your fans are actually peaking at or near 100%, there is always the trick of disconnecting the 4th wire from the fans to force them at 100%, no firmware mod or ssh access required... This should kill the fluctuation.

You can carefully take out the wire from the female plastic plug without damaging it, with a small screwdriver to punch a little dent to release it.

Fan wiring is usually just: negative, positive, rpm reporting, rpm controlling (they have fancier words like pwm but meh).

Even if its sold someone else will buy it. You shouldn't fear the free market, embrace it and learn to use it to your advantage. Cheap bitcoins? Buy while you can...

Or perhaps he lost his priv keys anyway. Can you track how much of the 17.5 million bitcoins are "moving"? Some will never move again from lost keys. Forking over something like this is unacceptable.

You have a socialist mind, and want "intervention", but there is no State or institution so you are appealing the Bitcoin developers AND the community that keep the nodes and mining. But they won't accept such a thing.

Transitioning from a culture where you are used to a State controlling, to one where there is no one who can manipulate the money no matter what, is part of the maturity. It isn't even Bitcoin's maturity, but the people that think they understand it.

Accept that there is that million out there, and that it could be moved at any moment, or never. Its part of bitcoin's value.

Oh; Satoshi sold his million. Good for him, he deserves it. Or let him hold them for another decade, when the price gains an extra zero or so...

And they can't. First thing that happens when socialists get the power, is dictate rules for everyone else to follow. No they don't ask everyone, and even if they do, the "minority" is irrelevant. Social struggle is their belief, not peaceful resolution as done in a free market society with every transaction...

A small group ends "leading". Its a natural transition from the communist party organization, they don't believe masses can "do revolution" without leaders, they HAVE to lead. And once they get into power, this thinking remains and is put in motion nationwide.

Which is how you end with, all the "failed" attempts in human history...

Yes, they would give you this fake rhetoric/facade: "power to the people", but we the people will follow our loved great leader... They "replace" the wealthy group they accuse of everything, and after taking all their possessions by force (sometimes distribute a bit but keep the best for them) take their place as the leading "nomenclature" or party officials or revolutionary whatever. And it always degrades into something resembling a monarchy, just look at north Korea: hereditary leadership like the absolute monarchies of the past (who ruled from that very city of Pyongyang).

They call themselves social scientists, and yet neglect to see that repeating the same experiment, again, and again and again produces the same results. When are they ever going to give up? Theory does not produce results, and practice has always shown the opposite results to what they promise.

They don't blame socialism, they blame the corruption. Oh, lets conveniently forget how corruption is instigated by their system, ok, they never experienced it beyond their own thinking, that is why they make such comments. Let them try socialism somewhere, and NOTHING they do can't prevent it from degrading into, the same thing the rest of humanity degraded into when they tried...

IT DOES NOT WORK.

You always end with something worse than what you had. Humans won't act like machines even with your enforced rules, they won't ever fit in your theories, people don't act that way.

Is there any list (of shame) maintained somewhere about sites that still don't support bc1? I need for example localbitcoins support, but given they use addresses beginning with 3 for deposits, i imagine you can't withdraw to bc1 addresses from there...

"Tips for a Secured Net Surfing and Hacking Prevention (Guide)"

• Use Tails OS.

It happens to implement all those suggestions already:


If you have ever used the Tor Browser, you already know it won't let unknown scripts or keep cookies or history stored among other things...

Because everything is using Tor, you can use it from a public computer or wifi just fine. Just keep it ready in your usb thumb-drive and boot from it when the need comes.

The same thing you could say to someone who never bothers to lock the front door of his home, or in the case of windows, not bothering with doors in the first place... Of course the thief is at fault, but he will go to the "easy" prey first, if only for speed. That should give you a hint.

People from good countries can purchase more bitcoin than people from poor countries. Also your picture is about ATMs, not bitcoin usage. Not only do ATMs charge big fees, they need to be in countries where vandalism isn't a thing, AND their local FIAT is strong enough to be worth keeping in vaults; ie. NOT a hyperinflation. 100 dollars can buy you 0.02BTC while 500 bolivares would get you 0.00001BTC. They are both the largest banknote from their respective countries...

In country A one (1) piece of paper buys the same amount than two thousand (2000) pieces of paper in country B. Guess which country will use more ATMs...

Doing this is the same to declaring default. You must never do this. Now there will be a stampede of people wanting to get rid of the Peso, and the situation will quickly spiral out of hand, unless you abandon socialist ideas of "control" and embrace the (truly) free market.

Your banks are failing because of the fractional reserve system. With full reserve banking, banks can hardly ever ever go broke, and if it does, all the money in saving accounts remain there for withdrawing, only money that was lent voluntarily by the account holders could be lost.

Unfortunately this is not what you are doing, as most countries keep following the flawed Chicago school of economy, instead of following the Austrian school. If you follow Austrian economics, you can fix the situation. If you go socialism, you can only make it worse.

It is tragic that you cannot see Venezuela's mistake, where the (de-facto) government has been doing that since at least 2014.

"Printing" money is the worst of taxes, and the most hurt are ironically the poor. The very reason people want bitcoin, is to make governments forever lose the ability to pick wrong decisions like this. There is zero justification for "printing" money, believe me, letting the banks go broke would have caused less problems, as you will see...

Indeed, in the 90ies Venezuela had half of its banks go bankrupt, but things recovered a couple of years later. Now Maduro in the 10ies threw the country to the spiral of hyperinflation and we have now are in the worst crisis of her history. Why did you not learn from others mistakes? What IDIOT advised Macri to print money? This must never be allowed occur, you declared your fiat the death sentence. Run for the hills (neighbor countries), while you still can... Now instead of some people losing all their money in the banks, the entire country has been condemned to misery.

I can't believe this is the same Argentina that had the corralito and that crisis of 2001, still making those mistakes...
