So basically too loud for home use unless you have a dedicated space where you can sound deaden the space?
After the R4, this has been the only design consideration for the asic miners. They belong in an industrial warehouse, therefore noise doesn't matter, and it shows... However creative thinking can overcome part of this problem, such as using a wooden box with noise insulation fabric inside. I have seen others sell noise muffling kits, for S9s etc, but with varying degrees of success. The S15 could fit inside a box in a garage just like philipma1957 did. My thinking is that, a box should be something like this (when viewed from above): ________
| / |
| S15 |
|_______/ | With the holes being full rectangles and not circles. All the walls inside this wooden box should be covered with noise insulating fabric. |

during syncing the I/O access to the harddrive was insane You can arrange the data directories in a way that minimises that - Set the bitcoind parameter -datadir to your fastest disk, preferably a disk that's not the main OS disk (e.g. a SATA/M.2/PCI SSD based SSD)
- Set the bitcoind parameter -blocksdir to a slower disk with loads of space, again, not your OS disk (i.e. a regular mechanical HDD)
So ideally that involves 1 fast disk for the OS, 1 fast disk for the datadir, and 1 slow disk for the blocks. But it will speed things up noticeably. Another syncing quickly tip: set the -dbcache parameter to something like dbcache=6000 or dbcache=8000, assuming you have that much RAM to spare Thank you, i used -dbcache=4096 all this time, the main bottleneck was the bandwidth, but now that it synced its fine. |

To the people that say use hardware wallet and forget about anything else. I have one. But the thing is other coins i have... they are not compatible with the hardware wallet. So what do you do then?
Also if you trade on your computer for example and have wallets on it because your hardware wallet doesn't support those coins, you need to keep those wallets in your computer. So what is your option there?
So for example say your internet modem broke and you need to replace it. Or your internet router broke and you need to buy a new one. Would buying a used modem be fine or not if its used? What if the seller is very reputable? Now what if its a router? If you buy a used router from a reputable seller online, is that reputable? Because what would concern me is if the modem or router, you go online with it... then that person or anyone that put something in it could track your visiting websites and also track anything you do such as crypto or trading or banking etc. Could they put a keylogger or virus on a used modem? What about a router? I assume a router would be more likely but a modem isn't? Because if you need a new modem or router, is it unsafe to buy a used one or not? Also those of you that say well a new computer or equipment isn't safe because what you do it on can cause issues. Well of course. But i mean getting the actual equipment. So has anyone heard of cases where someone bought a used modem or wireless router and their computer got hacked/keylogged or anything like that with crypto?
A piece of paper with 12 words makes a solid cold wallet. You seem to be a little mistaken in what a wallet is, contrary to what the name suggests, it doesn't store coins. If anything, its the private key that allows you to move them, but they are not stored on any computer but the blockchain itself. What people lose when they lose their wallet (priv key) are not the coins, but the ability to move them anymore... Now, being paranoid about the moment when you do want to move the coins is logical. You should, in fact, forget windows and osx, stick to linux, perhaps a live iso if only for the time you want to move coins around. If you use something like Tails, it connects via Tor only, so even if there is some sniffer in your router, it won't be able to catch anything. If you DO install Linux, you can use encryption in your entire drive. With a decent password, even if stolen they won't be able to obtain anything. While no OS is perfect, something like Linux is highly unlikely to fall victim to most common attacks. The best effort you can ever do towards protection, is starting to use it to drop any fears about it. There are several distros to choose from, each catering to a different type of community. You should experiment and eventually find one where you feel confident, and start using that. I have said it many times: It is far more difficult to secure windows than Linux, and for the most part Windows is always at risk due to its flawed design. The fact that you don't have full control of it, should give you a warning. |

Its funny how after releasing their own JPM coin JP Morgan have done a complete u-turn and are now endorsing cryptos (providing you still use a normal bank sevice of course). When JP Morgan slated bitcoin last year there was a sudden price drop. Even though they were caught buying bitcoin on the dip for their clients the facade was allowed to continue. Pretending to rubbish publicly something whilst secretly working on it is the oldest trick in the book and its sad that so many people still take taken in by this game. I suspect that any day China is going to declare its support for crypto and lift its ban even though we all know its working on blockchain projects in the background. It just means we have to wait longer for the price to go up I guess. More like pragmatism. True money making people will have to sooner or later understand that the genie is out of the bottle, and the time has come for them to revise their business. From time to time a technology comes that renders whole sectors of industry obsolete, and refusing to see whats in front of them just because their traditional business gave them profits for a century, doesn't mean they woun't be forced to change, they will, and so will the banks, which will shrink and or morph. Perhaps sooner than later even banks will start thinking about a 100% reserve banking, exactly like the Austrian economists wished. In such a bank: You would normally have to pay fees to keep your money stored (could be a single fee for each deposit/withdraw, like you see today with exchanges. That is unless you voluntarily lend your money, for a given period of time. During this period your money will be unavailable. Again, a few exchanges already do this. So i maintain my posture that crypto exchanges and banks will come to fuse together, and they will bridge the transition from fiat to crypto for how many decades humanity may require. Those not doing so will be cast aside by progress, as many older but formerly lucrative business did. The rest of the financing sector is more or less in the same situation, the world history has changed after Bitcoin. |

For years people have said it will be all industrial miners. Looks like it will happen with these monster 3100 watt models.
480v PSU when? Oh wait, Canaan did release a product with such PSU attached to several units didn't they? |

Dear bitcointalk team
I have many m3x in my farm that some of them have old firmware version.
I have remote access to configuration of miners.
How can i update the firmware these miners remotly.?
Because "whatsminer tool" program didn' t work correctly in remote access mode for updating and it had good work just when my laptop connected to miner with lan directly....
My farm have many distance (100 km) with my home and i dont want go to farm . I want do it with my remotly access.
If any other free program is exist , please advise. Have you tried TeamViewer yet? That must be one of the most common ways nowdays, people leave a normal PC at the site and connect into that remotely to do whatever needs doing. If you use Linux there are several more choices, including various VNC clients or X2go which is my favorite (and depending on task, a simple ssh could do). Take a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_remote_desktop_software |

While I was reading some articles in the net I was wondering what OS do you prefer for your computer. According to you Mac, Linux or Windows is the best? Linux of course. This video might help explain things:

118PH huh? Thanks for mining everyone.
Edit: maybe a failover? Looks like it's down some.
Dropped off a lot but still mining maybe we get a block today. Its showing 55PH but still good if it keeps up. |

All the altcoins together still move less money (equivalent to fiat) than Bitcoin alone. The world might have space for a few more, but thousands? I don't think so. Still, everyone is free to try (doesn't meant they'll succeed), that's the beauty of free open source software.

They have to do the same thing everyone does living in a truly free market: Search a better job, always. This is your best bargaining chip, no need to be violent or anything. When you get a better offer go to your boss and tell him/her either give a rise or accept the resign, as simple as that.
"Socialists" are mistaken pretending to fix everything by force using the State. No, you must not force anyone to pay "the same" due to gender, race, or religion, etc. If they are worth more, they will pay more, period. You can have women earning far more than men in other kind of jobs too.
If "socialists" manage to force their views into policy, the only net result is reduction of jobs offer, producing the opposite effect: Worse work conditions for women.

Banning of weapons all over the world might result to the world peace many people believed and dreamed of. However, no country will be able to agree in this thing. Why? It's because different country have already allotted money for their defense in case of an attack from different country. Not only that, but also if they have terrorist in their own country. Second thought is that weapons are also technology. And since we are in the age in which we are experiencing great development of almost everything, technology are developing, thus weapons are developing also. Imagine what a person that put a lot of money in the development of a thing and then a person with authority will ban that thing. They'll feel bad and that'll result into chaos.
The only thing we can do is to have peace talks if there is a developing chaos. No, it just doesn't work. Some form of control, with with a permit or license is ok, but outright ban is useless.. When you outlaw guns, only outlaws carry guns, which means its meaningless. Furthermore, as seen in my country, the outlaws will start killing the last remaining people legally carrying them (ie. Police, military, etc), to obtain more. Lets talk school shootings. Imagine every teacher has a gun, next time a shooter comes they will be shot quickly. Of course metal detector should be at all entrances with armed guards. This should work as a deterrent, like in a lawless society everyone carrying a gun in itself deters others from doing wrong. When you ban weapons, the killer would go to the school armed anyway, and without any resistance cause a large amount of deaths. You could ban military grade weapons from the hands of civilians, but that doesn't stop civilians from getting them, it just increases the price and the risks for lawful persons to posses one. The unlawful won't care. In that case your police/military forces better be ready to deal with those owning one... Here? They get military weapons in prison, let alone in the street... Of course guns are "banned", but as i said, the wrongdoers don't care... Wasn't Swiss or somewhere every family does in fact keep at least a rifle (to deter invaders)? Yet their society is very peaceful? |

Its all fun and games until you lose electricity for various days and you can't even buy food or water because everything is down. Hopefully such countries would never face such a thing, would they?

What methods would you propose to overcome the lack of gravity? Would making the ship rotate on its own axis (perhaps at the point of the nose) be enough once en-route? Sure the view would suck, but you could get some gravity that way no?

is this for real?
pic shows it is the same size format, yet pushing 72T and at 3312W.
This is probably the M20S which is larger, just like the M10S (55T) is: 140mm vs 120mm fans/tunnel. Given the asics are now 12nm vs 16nm, it sounds quite logical, considering the regular unit (M20) is 48T. Will they go 10nm and 7nm nodes down the line? I'll be expecting the M30 and M40 then! |

I have created a support ticket and will update going forward with how Pango resolves this issue.
From what I recall, the pop originated from the PSU and was loud enough to make me jump back. The PDU's are still being used right now without issue.
Edit: After giving it about 4 hours now, I just plugged it back in and everything is working... Very suspicious and will be sitting within view of this guy for the rest of the day with my fire extinguisher close by. Will still go through the support process with Pango to see what they have to say about what may have happened.
The only thing that crosses my mind is that a roach or bug crawling inside short-circuited something, but now that it popped and dried the unit would go back to work. Normally when something pops and trips a breaker or such i won't even try powering it again, at least without taking a look inside... What a curious gamble you made by powering it again, wanted to see if flames would come out or something? |

It has been said sometimes that a Bitcoin transaction can be cancelled or reversed using for example double-spend.
Is it still possible? If Yes, how? If No, Why?
Especially when you sell services and goods and accept Bitcoin payment, you are worried about this.
So it should be a good idea to discuss this topic. That is not a cancel, and is not a reverse, that is just what you yourself said: A double spend. Only one may enter the blockchain, and that obviously is the one paying the higher fee, even when broadcasted later. Your window of opportunity could be a a small as the time remaining to find the next block, so its not even guaranteed you would succeed. Unfortunately the likely people making the mistake probably didn't even bother lowering the tx fee shrinking their chance. Moral of the story: triple check where you send your coins to. You CANNOT reverse or cancel a tx. |

Bitalk.org -> Seems to be Russian only.
Bitcoin.com -> Not too active (not bad UI).
litecointalk.io -> Not really interested in a Litecoin specific forum + rather inactive.
cryptocurrencytalk.com -> Rather innactive on substantial threads (like the video section).
bitcoingarden.org/forum/ -> Very similar UI (SMF). Structure a bit weird, and 24K members only.
bitcoinforum.com -> Also very similar UI (SMF). Not very active, and just under 18K members only.
allcryptotalk.com -> Not many boards not activity.
cryptorum.com/forums/ -> Very weak in terms of boards and content.
talk.peercoin.net -> Specific to peercoin
mastersofcrypto.com/forum/ -> I like the guides .. but nothing else (+ barely any activity).
So, in summary, none of the above come even close to Bitcointalk neither in terms of content nor, very likely, prestige and history of its members. I don't think any other forum is worth visiting and this summary is accurate. At least the OP didn't put that phishing .io clone either. Every time you search things online, you inevitably find links to this forum, even altcoins need to born here is its like they never exist. Reddit is sometimes interesting, but the only thing like this forum is of course the official #bitcoin channel at Freenode. |

Bitcoin should retain its 21 million limit. Induced inflation is not needed, this is where the Austrian school of economics trumps over all the others that unfortunately rule most of the world today, tho they wanted gold because something like this did not exist a century ago...
"Deflation", along with 100% reserve banking, allow for true savings (accumulation) of capital. Bitcoin happens to provide these two today.
You have to stop and think if it is really "deflation", when its actually everybody else that is inducing inflation. You say "stable" only when they appear in sync with each other, but to remain "in sync" they have to undergo inflation, and the difference is how big or small the discrepancy on their respective inflation is.
So if the JPY had 1% annual inflation and the USD had 0.8%, it would "appear" that the USD "gained", but it fact both were losing, induced by their own gov. Then if something comes along and its value remained and 0%, it would appear as if it was "gaining" value, only because everybody else was losing it.
But truth be told some bitcoins are getting lost forever, so there really is some deflation going on as well, just not that much.

Why is a return on investment a joke?
I think it's just the same seriousness By that account South Korea should have the most renewable generation, given its the most expensive electricity in the world. It would be especially great if they allowed you to sell your production... Also whats wrong with some rain? Won't it clean the panels for free? |
