3641  Bitcoin / Hardware / Re: We Ordered and received a new mining box. New photos as of Aug 26 on: September 12, 2023, 03:35:23 PM
What is the usual ambient relative humidity there?

okay the warehouse has a large garage door that opens to the outside.

So the humidity will match Clifton NJ humidity.

well under 45 percent most days.

But some summer days we go over 60 percent which means the water curtain will suffer a bit.
We rarely go over 70 percent humidity.

 which means the water curtain will work well over 300 close to 330 days a year.

This unit will move 40,000 cfm

and we do not have enough power to run over 75-80 s19s even though the unit claims to do 150 s19s or L7s

we have a 320 k-watt transformer to feed it which will allow us to do 250k-watts.

My gut tells me on a 95f day with high humidity we may need to down clock the gear just a little.  That means 5-15 days a year it could struggle

slow ping with one machine and not the other points to control board and or control board firmware.

Lastly maybe a shit ethernet cable.

after that I am out of ideas.

and in under 200 blocks we switched from 5.62 behind to  15.43 ahead

a 21 block overage in 172 blocks

so 172/151 = that is 13.9% over norm. some is more gear and some is variance

looking for next trend is exciting.

If I opened the contest this time and not in 2 weeks it would be hard to pick the winner as I would likely end picking time at 1000 blocks and people picking see the trend upwards The may think the 13.9% for the last 172 blocks will continue but at 9% not 13.9. So we are half in> hmmm 1.65 + 9 = 10.65/2 = +5.325%

my guess is +5.325%

kano will rip the predictions stompix will shout back and it will come in at some number no one picks or better yet stompix picks it and says snagggg to kano. We can have some fun for a change.

3646  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ouch, today someone made a transaction with over $500k fee. on: September 12, 2023, 03:02:10 AM
...  transaction with such enormous fee could be mined by other pool but they might have no option other than to lose money or mine it be themselves.

I already discard that theory, the TX was publicly broadcasted according to mempool.space data. The TX was match with the expected block.

According to blockchain

Quote
Broadcasted on 10 Sep 2023 5:02:56

And the block was mined:

Quote
Mined on September 10, 2023 5:10:01

Almost 7 minutes on mempool, that actually can be mined by anyone with some decent hash rate or some luck.

So if you want to launder some money you shouldn't use that way.

It is a moron mistake. Maybe they will refund it.

If i solo hit that block I would most likely publicly refund 95% of the fee.

at op try putting in 9898 for time or 9595. also check the keep me logged in box.

I have had this issue and found that a large number for login time is better than the keep me logged in box alone.

when I do both I do not get logged out.

I actually have decide to do a complete 180 on my dislike of signatures and of mixer’s in particular because you wrote this thread up.

Will it be correct to say that my post made you start wearing signature? If yes, that's an honour to me and I will put it in my text space. Waiting for your confirmation  Cool

Yes . I was supporting talk-img out of pocket because I believe the forum needs a good image service.

I vacillated back and forth about signatures but frankly bitcointalk is unique in its signature campaigns which give anyone with decent content a chance to earn.

Your thread pushed me into the fuck it I will do a new signature and raise funds for talk img.

btw I sent  you merits.
3649  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Canaan avalon 1166pro resets pool and password on: September 12, 2023, 01:26:52 AM
Did you buy this miner as a used unit?

Can you use other devices to set up your miner maybe the device you currently using is infected try to set up your miner through mobile or another PC that you know is clean.

Also, try to change the pool using another browser and incognito mode.
Update here if it works or not.

Yes I bought it used but it was working fine.
What is strange is that it changes the login password. Usually it should be root

could be the 76 is normal and you had a better firmware that pushed 81 th but stole it with a bad pool switch.

Well... fuck this market action. Glad I sold a bit when I did. Heading out to the ranch shortly to pick up the tractor and attachments.

...then, I think I'll mow about 100 acres to break in the tractor...

Have a great week, you wonderful fruitcakes.

You probably already know this, but you'll want to do about 10 hours on that new motor and then do a full oil change. New motors tend to have small burrs and rough edges internally that wear smooth but leave metal shavings in the oil. By running it for a while and then changing the oil & filter, you remove that destructive debris so that you can enjoy a full life of smooth power.

What color did you end up with? Green? Red? or Orange? (Hopefully not Blue...)

maybe rainbow 🌈 paint job coming up.
3652  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: 2023 Diff thread now opened. on: September 11, 2023, 11:29:17 PM
Newhedge has provided a valuable number.

I use it to decide how many miners I will add to my mine.

I purchased 1 s19xp today partially based on the current slight drop of 0.5%

Most of us know 5 to 10 percent of gear hash rate is offline or underclocked. So we use his number more as a touchy feely way of where hashrate will move.

Btw luck has meaning and on any given day 139-144-149 blocks is a very easy move to happen.

It is what made the contest I ran here for years so hard to pick.

We are having a retro contest in about 10 days time.
3653  Other / Meta / Re: Trust Feature idea: give DT1 the ability to remove specific feedbacks from DT on: September 11, 2023, 11:20:26 PM
Trying to follow the alternating proposals here but failing to understand the logic of 2/3 or 3/4 of DT1 to vote. For starters, it's very unlikely to get 61 to 69 DT1 members to vote on anything imo.

I don't see the issue with having only 50%+ agreement as the threshold for having feedback removed...
It will undoubtedly be difficult, yes. I just feel like it shouldn't be easy to have feedback removed and put in the untrusted category. You are protecting the trust system that way. It already has its difficulties. If it was an easy thing to do, it would stop being a valuable tool and slowly lose its purpose. Maybe I am exaggerating.

Hahaha. Sorry, had to laugh. If I had the power to make decisions here, such uses of the feedback system wouldn't be allowed. You are not the only that has that, and information that someone is stupid/crazy/gay/brain-damaged doesn't help anyone.

Yeah it’s annoying and a bit sad that people run around trolling the way he does.
3654  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: [INFO - DISCUSSION] Security Budget Problem on: September 11, 2023, 10:37:25 PM
Most people say they hate this. I like it because it is what banks do.

Philllll....prepare to get pitchforked for this!!!  Roll Eyes

Well it is just a rehash of the question that n00bs often ask about: "what happens when the halving gets to zero"
where the answer is the obvious: txn fees are part of the block reward.
(answered many times on the forum)

The assumption that txn fees are worthless is wrong.

Common kano!!!!
If the txn fees are the same as they are now in $ terms then the reward a day will be $ 1 million instead of $25 million, so instead of 6 cents per th/s you're going to get 0.24 of a cent, who is going to mine at that price? Nobody so miners will drop one after one till the reward finds a new equilibrium and instead of 400exahash, you have 16 exhash!

Everything works perfectly, I agree with you! Transactions keep flowing, miners keep mining, the only difference is that an attacker doesn't have to spend 4 000 000 x2000 $ to reach 50%, it has to spend only 160 000 x2000$, not even that because there will 380 of exahash capable gear going to be sold at scrap level prices!

From 8 billion needed to 300 million, from 24 GW to 1GW, from the whole world to Riot or Mara alone on their own, that's quite a steep decrease in security, don't you think? Do you really want to see one of those stupid YouTube video stunts of a Mr.Beast on getting 51% of Bitcoin hashrate?






Like I said miners will follow the money and ltc/doge could end up being more secure than btc.

As for me liking bank methods maybe 🤔 I jest.

But one bank idea is abandoned property. I like that one. And i will be 102 in 2059 so I will very likely not see that idea happen.

I want to stress leaving all fee rules as is and having btc at 100,000,000 a coin does not fix the fee issues.

Also a ton of harm could be done by sending dust to addresses.

✂️
where the answer is the obvious: txn fees are part of the block reward.
✂️

this idea is also held by most Bitcoiners and i also think that the fees could then take a very large share of the miner rewards



✂️
My favorite is all stale addresses are considered abandoned in 2059 there will be untouched 50 year old addresses with no withdrawals ever made. Fold them back into rewards if no withdrawal is made in them.
✂️

how should the whole thing be technically executed, if there are Bitcoins on a BTC address that have not been moved for ~50 years?
a pk for this said address will not be found out in any case
this would also mean that the 1 million BTC that SN most likely holds would then in the worst case no longer belong to him ... or am i understanding this all wrong?

To show the address is active a simple partial withdrawal is all that is needed.

Lets pretend it is blocks 100 to 1100

To show the address that was block 100 just move a fraction say 0.1 btc to the address that is block 101

privacy stays maintained. just do it down the line .1 from 100 to 101 to 102
etc.

If the coins are really abandoned then they become recycle them as rewards.

It movement is shown then the renew for 50 more years.

Essentially Btc has an issue down the road.  if a coin is 10,000,000 and a satoshi is 1 dime

a small fee  of 1 sat per byte  is 14.20 to 22.70

if block size is small and not increase tweak fixed what ever I suspect ltc/doge will be better for miners than btc.

if so miners follow the money and ltc/doge become more secure.

I am not sure how it will unfold.

but.

2024 only 3.125 coins and say .25 in fees.
2028 only 1.5625 coins and say .50 in fees.
2032 only 0.78125 coins and say .60 in fees.
2036 only 0.390625 coins and say .70 in fees. the first halfing that the fees will beat blocks I would be 79  years old.

waiting to see the adjustments that will happen.

I recently joined sinbad mixer campaign to be able to continue monthly donations to

talk-img.

I have been giving 0.001 btc a month to talk image and will now be able to do that until 2024 if not longer.

I post plenty of photos on bitcointalk . we as a forum post many photos so talk image needs support.

Not complaining.

Well as a ten year plus year miner I think there several fixes.

My favorite is all stale addresses are considered abandoned in 2059 there will be untouched 50 year old addresses with no withdrawals ever made. Fold them back into rewards if no withdrawal is made in them.

Most people say they hate this. I like it because it is what banks do.

The Ln network may grow and create more fees.
Ordinals may grow and create more fees.

Moving to ten digits not eight could help the network.

the game of life is also good.

kids will like both of them.

the game of life has a very critical early choice. go into business or go to college.

you get to pick which fork in the road.

if your kids are clever they will learn that the game is skewed to picking college not business.
