Sorry did not test. I did test 240 to 220 transformer 1585 watts full power.

I did test 240 wall to s15   1565 watts.  As the transformer wastes 1.5% to change 240 to 220

So if you have to do 110 you will need a dedicated 20 amp circuit breaker and I would prefer 10 gauge copper over 12 gauge

From 110v? I'd say 30a circuit and gauge 8 wire Tongue

Actually, it would be smarter to do the transforming next to the panel, and send the already higher voltage over the wire. Then you can be fine with 15a/gauge 14 (or less).  Of course you do need the higher amp breaker/and lower gauge wire between panel and transformer.

Venezuela soldiers abandon posts at Colombia border


Soldiers from the Venezuelan national guard have left their posts ahead of an opposition-led effort to bring aid into the country, Colombia's migration agency said.

Several people wounded, by shotgun grapeshot or tear gas cans shot horizontally (they have killed demonstrators that way before).
At least 4 dead near the border with Brazil, all demonstrators demanding opening of the borders for to let the humanitarian aid.

Most but not all humanitarian aid was blocked, burned or stolen. Also there have been several desertions, thankfully.

There are several demonstrations nationwide... As usual, unarmed civilians had to face armed police, armed military, or armed irregulars...
So far at least 14 dead and several hundred wounded, in the various border cross-points and within nearby cities.


Maduro’s opponents brave tear gas in push to deliver aid




CUCUTA, Colombia (AP) — Opponents of Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro braved tear gas as they rescued boxes of emergency food and medicine from burning trucks during violent clashes on the Colombian border with security forces blocking the entry of U.S.-supplied humanitarian aid.

The panicked scene Saturday on the binational Santander bridge was the dramatic high point of a day that also saw two people killed in unrest near Brazil, at least 23 soldiers switch loyalties to opposition leader Juan Guaido, and Maduro break off diplomatic relations with Colombia amid an increasingly unpredictable and unruly fight for power in the oil-rich South American nation.

Cool

That is only 'where we need to be' if one can show valid business models that have profit in excess of expenses and fixed costs.

Perhaps. But what if a commercial entity lands a rover on the moon that deploys a giant advertisement banner? The UN says its no one's land...

It seems to me a space station at some Lagrange point would be more useful if there was something deeper that needed logistics, such as asteroid belt mining, or a Mars base.

I would rather picture an O'Neill cylinder instead of Von Braun's wheel.

Ja. it certainly is a workhorse. Its very wide input voltage rane from around 150v or less and over 277v, the ability to set output voltage and freq to 50/60Hz makes it perfect for industrial product testing as well. Mine's set to 230v 60Hz. I got it through Overstock.com 'cause they take BTC last year back when BTC was still over $8k

At something like 185LBS was real fun to get downstairs: used a block and tackle to slide it down the the stairs. One helluva workout I tell ya...

Next time Cheesy I suggest you take out the batteries. That's where most of the weight comes from... And because they are individual blocks, its easier to move them separately. Every 3 years or so you must replace them anyway (some people do it every 2 years regardless).

Really confused what to do now.

If I lose my phone my Binance account is not accessible?Huh??

You should use Authy instead as that backups to the cloud and lets you move to another device or even the PC using a Chromium based browser.

If you insist on using GA, you must be aware that, there is a 16 char "key" which is shown before activation, that's your only backup, and has to be done for each and every site you enable 2fa.

While some sites allow to "reset" or turn off 2fa, some don't (or require the 2fa code to deactivate). It is quite possible to lose access to your account if your phone with GA is lost.

Any site what mentions "2fa" can be used with Authy, even if the instructions say "Google Authenticator".

It is impossible to backup GA database without rooting your phone.
4088  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Venezuela on: February 23, 2019, 01:55:13 AM
No way life is going to be ultimately better for the people of Venezuela under such a system.

There aren't many countries this side of Yemen, Syria, or NK where it's actually worse than now in Venezuela... so yes, there is a good chance that without Maduro it would be better. Of course when you think that humanitarian aid for starving population is fraud then you can justify just about anything.

I'll reserve judgement on that until AFTER the attack by the BIS-based central banking cartel is over.  Especially after seeing the fully stocked store in Caracas which Max Blumenthal visited (link above.)

Seems fairly obvious to me that there is plenty of food, at least in some places.  Toothpaste also.  The problem is mostly that money doesn't work, and it's equally obvious that that is the attack vector being used against these people.  Hopefully they can make something work with crypto.

When things are scarce, its because the prices are fixed AND the officials are doing their "job". I live here, you don't. We had periods where it was indeed impossible to find things like toothpaste or toilet paper and many other things like car batteries or lamp bulbs.

Prices of many things are "still fixed", but business simply disregard the socialist rules. From time to time Maduro orders officials to imprison managers who disobey the "fair price law", and during those times things would disappear for months again, only to re-appear in the "black market" at outrageous prices.

When things reappear (such as right now) the officials are not doing their job, are being bribed, or are tired. There are still shortages, more or less rotational. Sometimes its cooking oil, sometimes its mayo, sometimes its soap. More and more things are reappearing, all imported, things that used to be manufactured in Venezuela for much cheaper prices, but that was before socialism destroyed the economy and made them go bankrupt, or in some cases gave the ownership to workers who in turn made them go bankrupt (they had no choice, the socialist imposed them ridiculously low prices for their products to remain profitable no matter who owned "the means of production" anyway).

In health the situation is much much worse. I have acquaintances that left the country, remaining here would mean dead to them. Several diabetes patients are unable to take their medicine, people go blind and have all the nasty effects and short life someone untreated goes. Same with all diseases, basically there is no treatment (or healthcare for that matter).

Its "illegal" to send food or medicine, but this has been occurring on a massive scale. Either by bribing customs or smuggling. There is also a small group of importers tied to Maduro, they get permits and subsidized dollars. Only when the socialist "controls" fail or dwindle, things reappear (in the market), but because the "rules" are still there, and the market remains intervened, there are heavy disruptions both in price and availability and they happen at random. Don't count that you will find toilet paper (at any price) in that place every day, you won't.

It is not a matter of "the coin failing", The coin was destroyed by Maduro, some think intentionally. Because Lenin once said: "Destroy the money to destroy capitalists". The inflation of the coin is 80% Maduro's policies. He spends too much, and then the money was gone, he ordered to print more, taxing the entire population and destroying the REAL wage.

In 2009 an average wage was 250 USD, and now is 8 USD. The socialists ironically reduced the wages, and at the same time destroyed the economy by forbidding everything attempting to "control" the marker and provoking much worse side effects.

At the same time... The destruction of the economy damaged all public services, such as health and education, but actually everything, water, electricity, police, everything including the military have serious maintenance problems and even lack of personnel, due to people quitting and many leaving the country.

The "Fully stocked store" means nothing when only a few can actually buy the things there. The hypocrite in the video paid with USD, paying with physical currency is a privilege few Venezuelans can do, even the banknotes become scarce from time to time, debit card is what the majority of Venezuelans use.

Also nobody explained the ignorant American many things in that shop have weird names BECAUSE it what some suppliers managed to evade the "price law". Why camomile scented? Because the price fixed the normal variant. Why is the shampoo not called shampoo but "hair pre treatment"? Why is the milk labelled "reconstituted lactic liquid" or some other weird euphemism? Because it was the only way they could keep producing and selling it at market price. Anything that survived socialism and still exists and works, does it because it managed to evade the socialist rules one way or the other.

All that food can be seized by the people thus solving the problem? Is that what your socialist mind thinks? Do you think that hasn't been tried here? And what where the results? They have sacked those supermarkets before, you get 6 hour lines for a few days, then the place remains closed and empty for months, some never reopen. Even the socialists currently usurping power eventually stopped doing that as it provoked much more unrest later. Tho they still do it from time to time, at random, or when Maduro feels like so.

In socialism there is no rule of law, only the rule of the executive branch which is usually a small elite group on the top.

These descriptions don't match anything in your theories but its what your theories always produce. Because you haven't had a chance to try and live with them, you keep defending it. If you had won over there and made America bankrupt, you would understand my position. But you still "believe" in socialism, because it has to be an act of faith since all evidence shows it results in far much worse living conditions, corruption and its worse for everyone, ESPECIALLY the poor.

But you don't know what really means, or pass months without eating an ounce of meat or cheese, due to socialist results on the economy. All you do is preach from your ivory tower, your paradise of wealth and overabundance, and overall, your freedom.

At least two people have been killed and several others injured in clashes near Venezuela's border with Brazil, local media report.

Venezuelan security forces opened fire on a group of civilians who tried to prevent them from blocking the border.

The clashes occurred when members of an indigenous community confronted Venezuelan troops on Friday morning in the southern Venezuelan town of Kumarakapay, AFP news agency reports.

Today two indigenous people were killed for protesting against Maduro's refusal to let humanitarian aid in.

Team? This is a game for you "socialists" living in wealthy capitalist nations, playing with people's lives and laughing at the misery of others. But why you didn't come to live your utopian dream? Without any money of course, let the socialist state employ you and see if you like it...

Max Blumenthal doing real reporting on-the-ground in Venezuela

Those poor poor zoo animals!  Even I bought that one back a few years ago.
This person did not notice two important things in his "supermarket tour": Few people next to him.
Because: prices. People earn the equivalent 8 USD dolars a month and the goods on his camera almost all are above that price.
Also: Venezuela is not Caracas, Caracas has spots that look like an oasis, but only if you have foreign currency with you...

As for the zoo, it is true, some animals where slaughtered and eaten, others died due to sickness from almost zero maintenance in the zoopark.
The sign he is making a crap joke about is not against Maduro, but a donation campaign for children in need...
Take this socialist all his money and make him live here and see if he likes it for real...

The capitalists did this? Oh really? Maduro did not print money?, did not fixate prices of things? Of course the economy is a capitalist lie, according to socialists. Socialism works perfectly inside their minds, so its impossible for it to fail in real life... And yet it always does.

His comments about "Colombians taking away the money" reveal his obscene ignorance. Go back to America and claim how capitalism is the cause of Venezuela's misery, not socialism. Because it was capitalists, not socialists who have been in power the last 20 years...

"Real reporting"? Take his ass to a poor neighborhood atop one of Caracas slums, but not for a few hours, make him live there without any money, have him taste what socialism is all about...

A good thing to hear about crypto news that has a good benefit to all crypto enthusiast. It's a good thing that there is a device that is unhackable. But i further think that hackers now are making a way on how to deal with this device or to hack it. But hopefully this would be unhackable.

Nothing under the sun is said to be unhackable. Security companies have been hacked many times  around the world even the giant of them was hacked, though time is the strength of a hacker because he/she device means of penetration. Have seen series of hack-life and have come to a conclusion that nothing is unhackable except you and your device be ignore .

Here, I'll show you an "unhackable" device:



If by "hacking" you mean the "evil wrong doers from the net" getting to your funds... This device is able to safely keep your private key as seed words away from the network. Its also air gaped too! Just make sure you store it properly and make a copy by hand to store it in a separate and secure physical place (in case the first place burns down or something).

You can make one yourself by booting from a linux live iso, install Electrum, create a wallet and write the seed words which are unique to you. Then you can copy your public addresses electronically or print them; turn off the pc.

Now you can deposit anything you want to any of those public addresses without any fear of "evil wrong doers from the net". You can verify the deposit using any blockchain explorer online.

Notice that you are not saving the wallet or backing up anything. Your backup are those words, and only those words. They can recreate your wallet at any point later, and you then have access to your funds. That's why they are so important to protect physically and from the view of any electronic devices.

Today there is an International Music Benefit concert for Venezuela:


Venezuela Aid Live, led by Sir Richard Branson, has brought together an array of renowned artists in hopes of raising $10 million which will be the starting point towards raising $100 Million total in humanitarian aid & donations from governments.

All this humanitarian Aid is already piling at the borders waiting to get in. Maduro doesn't want it, but the people of Venezuela do, and they have been going to the border to persuade the military blockade and let the aid go in.

More information on this page: https://www.venezuelaaidlive.com/

The concert is being streamed live here:


United Voices for
Venezuela


  • The event will take place on February 22, in Cucuta, Colombia, which is located right on the border between Colombia and Venezuela.
  • The three basic goals of the event are to create awareness of the current situation, to reopen the Venezuelan borders in order to get the humanitarian aid in, and to obtain enough funds to design and carry out a sustainable social investment that will benefit Venezuela and help bring it and its people back.
  • Venezuela Aid Live is lead by Richard Branson and Bruno Ocampo, with the support of several renowned artists, entrepreneurs and volunteers, who have worked tirelessly in order to make a difference.

February 23 is the date set for the humanitarian aid to be delivered, but today 22 this concert will be held in neighbor Cucuta, Colombia, right next to the border with Venezuela.

President Guaidó is traveling by car to the border to officially receive the aid, he has already been blocked multiple times but so far has been able to go thru, thanks to the support of several people on the way confronting the military with orders from Maduro to stop him.

This is a short audio clip, but very spot on on this matter:


The Destructive Cycle of Socialism


This person mentions the same things. if people had basic economics education, they wouldn't fall for socialist lies.

Everyone should know rising minimal wages is bad because it reduces jobs and chances for getting better wages (by switching to a better job on a market with plenty of job offers) vs a socialist order to rise the wage, then nobody wants to hire people get stuck with what miserable job they are with.

In the same vein, a socialist order to "Lower prices" immediately provokes shortages and outrageous prices in a "black" (illegal) market, which is the only place you will find things again...

Notice how socialist can only act by force, and not freedom of choice. In a free market economy, prices of goods will either go down or improve, due to competition. Socialists don't care about competition, and consider it wasteful. Surely if those "wasted" were used to, say, help the poor, everyone would live better right?... WRONG, the moment you put those resources in hands of someone not involved with the market, ie. the bureoucrat, corruption ensues, AND you lose: the abundance, the quality and the wealth you were intending to give to the poor, and the poor can't even work to solve his problem, he is then forced to "find away" in the system ie. bribe, or commit a crime of becoming part of the "black" market...

You don't know these things because you have not lived the results of your beautiful socialist theories, and where they lead to. Granted, it sounds attractive, to someone who:

A) Lacks basic economics education.
B) Has not experienced it first hand.

Millenials, grew up in abundance, have not studied basic economics, become easy pray for socialists...

I made the assumption anyone with 'bad' power would know better than to run big power hungry devices like these so that didnt really enter my thought process.

The other recommendation would be to buy ihgher end server grade power supplies. If the cheap chinese PSUs are blowing up every 3 months, why not just buy something proper that has protection circuitry built in?

Unfortunately that is going to prove challenging with the latest Bitmain models, where the psu is customized. Which is a big issue if, for example the S15s failure rate at 240v really is higher than usual. Where do you get a replacement PSU not made by bitmain?

4099  Bitcoin / Mining support / Re: Any suggestions or experiences on using a voltage stabilizer/regulator on: February 21, 2019, 07:38:16 PM
The suggestion is dont waste the money because it will do nothing for you.

The PSU IS the voltage regulator for the miner. That is why they have a variable input range but always output a stable voltage. Whether you feed a PSU 210v or 240v, the DC output will still be the same.

You should double and triple check what you hear, especially on the internet, because whoever told you that is pretty clueless.

What kills ASICs is poor environmental management 99 times out of 100

Unless you live here with the cheapest electricity on the planet but end replacing PSUs every 3 months or so due to sudden fluctuations and blackouts. At the very least use a "protector" with an adjustable temporal delay, if you can regulate that even better so they don't all restart at the same time when the power goes and returns...

Note this is not about killing the asics, but the psu itself, assuming the PSU is doing its job properly...

If he lives in a "nice" country with a perfectly maintained and above 99.999% guaranteed service, then sure, there is no reason to "waste" your money with those.

You are correct that many asic boards die from excess humidity or dry conditions, but this is a separate issue: bad electricity. It exists.

Also to the OP, please don't use a stabilizer for each unit, as a massive amount of those can harm each other creating an unwanted (noisy) chain reaction (unless they have adjustable waiting timers to restore power, so you could adjust each one differently).
