Which solution is the best?
I assume it mostly depends whom one asks to. now I get why the United States needs to borrow so much money and increase their debt ceiling.

The solution that has never failed is a lowering of taxes but, and this is very important, coupled with a lowering of public spending. And let interest rates rise as much as they have to. Letting the private sector compete without putting a thousand obstacles or drowning it with taxes is what makes societies prosper, something that nobody seems to want to remember nowadays.

The problem is that today you have many right-wing politicians who only pay lip service to it and when they get into office they seem to forget what works.

Wow do you really believe this?

The USA was in fine shape til the 60s.

It taxed the shit out of the wealthy and ran a surplus.

Then Kennedy got shot in the head.
Johnson came in ran the war on poverty.
Ran the war in vietnam
And the arms race
and the race to the moon.
then nixon came in
dropped taxes
took USA off gold standard.

Setting off the first true inflation.
And the beginning of deficit spending
been down hill ever since
does not matter what side is in they all steal and bull shit like motherfuckers.

5363  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: [FUN]Heatbit Is the First Space Heater That Mines Bitcoin on: January 22, 2023, 08:19:00 PM
I know someone in Germany is selling S9 space heaters too. I don't think its wise to run S9s at 1500W, you should use them at like 900W where they are much more efficient. Its better to have two of them than a single one overworked.

The thing with L3+ is that 4 hashboards need even more wires and those fault prone mini-fit 6p molex plugs, so it isn't as easy. S9s appear to be sold for like $50 and some people even give them away for free, so compare that with purchasing a 900W space heater, which doesn't even mine.

The rest is just putting it inside something that doesn't look ugly. I know someone removed the fans and used a single inline duct fan instead, making it much more silent. Hmm i think its this one. Now imagine that inside some cylinder or box.

A modern ASIC space heater makes sense, but you would need to remove/disable hashboards. It also won't be useful with 120V, i don't think those PSUs like the low voltage. I think a single hashboard S19 would take about 1100W. I bet the trick would be buying one cheap with damaged hashboards, that has at least one working, and you definitely won't need 4 fans for that...

The L3+ runs rings around the s9 as a space heater.

I have modded and built both many times. Used your braiins to do the s9's

The l3+ can be set to 600 watts. you can use a 1000 watt tax psu like the corsair 1000 rmx.

https://www.newegg.com/corsair-rmx-series-rm1000x-cp-9020201-na-rf-1000-w/p/N82E16817139298?

1 wire for each  power jack will work and 1 wire for the  controller.

you can case the wires in this wrap.

https://www.amazon.com/Alex-Tech-10ft-Protector-Sleeving/dp/B07FW388KV?

set the L3+ to nice hash if you want btc.

set the L3+ to viabtc if you want LTC/Doge

if you use this fan

https://www.ebay.com/itm/185296944683?

set to 20-40% the unit is cool and quiet and earns more per watt than the s9.


is it as pretty as the op's fancy gear no?

but I have a lot of spots to put them for the winter.

well sideways in a 20.5 to 23.5 slot works for miners a lot better than sideways in a 15.5 to 17.5 slot.

My mining earnings are up.. And if we do do a really runup to 100k plus I will be ecstatic. since monthly earnings of the farm will also be an alltime high.

I apologise for being narky though. This is the 12th year I've been providing bitcoin mining software and services, and wanted to get out of the mining scene completely, but the solo mining community literally funded me staying here because they value my service. I do not believe my integrity would be up for questioning, nor that anyone would believe I was doing something nefarious, especially since my persona has been public and people know exactly who I am and where I'm located.

A lot of people simply don't have the background to understand how false the statement has to be.

One of the issues of being very knowledgeable in mining is sometimes we forget many others are not.

To all BTC hashrate is 1000 times that of BCH which is pretty much 99.99% certainty that no one can merge mine BTC+BCH

and effectively 2x their mining power for 'free'.

If kitkatz has done so he/she could be very rich very quickly as that software would be worth a ton of money.  
5368  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 268 blocks solved! on: January 21, 2023, 11:11:23 PM
It was the biggest load of horse shit accusation ever and I just treated it as a troll. It was certainly not posted in good faith. There is no fucking way I'd ever mine any shitcoin let alone in secret without the users knowledge. Merge mining fucking shitcoins shows up in the blocks you create anyway so the evidence would be glaringly obvious. Now go and accuse others of moronic behaviour and leave us alone.

Not trying to add gas to the fire but I trust CK's proven track record as his pool was a game changer for me.

I'd recommend to all miners heavily research any pool ops/admins track record and claims before sending hashrate to them.

Think about the guy's claim BTC and BCH can be merged mined.

I do not want to post from other pools but no pool not a one pays BTC and BCH merged mined.

It doubles your profit. If it could be done.

Since BTC has 275eh mining why would bch only have 275ph 1/1000 the hash rate if any pools merge mine it.

Commonsense is the large pools would all do it. Certainly antpool would do it.

Antpool mines 52,788 ph on BTC
Antpool mines 55 ph on BCH. close to the 1/1000 number I mention.


Like I said if any programmer has figured a way to merge mine BCH+BTC


that 1000 to 1 ratio would vanish.

or at least be greatly altered.

now if kitkatz can really do it.
he/she will make serious money.
but I can tell you that if he or she can do so she really messed up as I know her pool would have gotten 3ph from me and 1.5 ph from someone else.

which would pay 2x what it pays mining just BTC on stock pools.

that 4.5 ph would have been like  9 ph which is about 9000 x 7.9 cents = 711 usd a day vs 355 usd a day.

It would have allowed me to expand to 6ph and the other person would have expanded to 3ph

which would pay like 18ph or 1422 usd a day.

The three of us could have made a ton of money and no one would realize kitkatz figured a way to double dip.

Basically with this edge I could have gotten 1 million in funding and we could have had 300 s19's or 30ph which pays like 60ph or

60,000 x 7.9 cents or 4740 a day vs 2370 a day

that is an extra 856,000 a year

I simply would love to think this could be made available but I doubt it very much.  As it would mean the 1000 to 1 hashrate difference between BTC and BCH would not be there .
5369  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 2% fee solo mining 268 blocks solved! on: January 21, 2023, 05:38:52 PM
Listen very carefully. Or read closely.

if kitkatz is telling the truth it means all pools are robbing all miners.

it is true merged mining exists with btc.

but the coins offered are very low valued.


it kitkatz can merge mine btc and bch his earnings would be 2x that of normal mining.



I won't mention other pools. out of respect but

btc pays about

7.86 cents per th

bch pays about

7.91 cents a th

if you could legit merge mine both you double your earnings.

So kitkatz is either lying or revealing an alarming truth that every pool is robbing people.

BTC hashrate is 275 eh
BCH hashrate is 234 ph.    1000x less

so if kitkatz knows how to mine both coins at the same time he is a ? for letting the world know this.

he simply could mine Both with a partner.

my 3ph would earn 3000 x .0786 = 235 a day on btc and

3000 x 0.0791 = 237 a day on bch

total of  472 a day

if this was possible logically BCH hashrate would be way higher it is not.


So either kitkatz is a mad genius revealing a great secret or discovery or  a liar.

Current Pace:   233.8662%  (2 / 0.86 expected, 1.14 ahead)

Quote
Current Pace:   104.7689%  (552 / 526.87 expected, 25.13 ahead)

And now one of those bloggers who write every time how daily hashrate has spiked or slowed down would have a field day to write a clickbait article about how the growth has dropped by  30x in a few days   Grin

So the price is up 20%, the difficulty only 10% and maybe 4% next,  totally understandable, I'm actually intrigued why the difficulty didn't slow down exactly as I stopped mining to have profits rise even more, that would have been "normal" and matching my "predictions". But seriously, even if the difficulty would have stayed the same, the price jump was simply not enough I would still be mining at a loss, especially since the euro rallied against the $. On the bright side, I have a few more coins that are valued 20% more which I wouldn't have mined in a year!

One thing about the difficulty jump, any effects to be blamed on the new firmware?
Reading the topic I didn't see anyone claiming any major results outside low-power mode, I can't test it myself, so that's a no?


The low power mode allows me to run more gear in the winter and then down clock of the summer.

It meant I would and did add hash power with less fear of summer over heating.

I would think anyone that had winter cooling well under control may have tossed in some new gear.

 I like this number today :

we went from 552 to 685  that is 133 blocks we dropped from plus 25 to plus 4 a drop of 21 blocks

this would be very nice if it continues.

we made a 134 blocks and we should have done 141. so we went from +5 blocks to - 2

Basically over last 50+ hours we are down 28 blocks  267 vs 295

that is -9.49 %

It means a shut down of something or a retooling of a mine or stone cold terrible luck.

back over 21k and a reverse bart

Precisely. No bart battern back down to $16K or anything like that quite yet. Only time will tell...

This is either a great sign that we're still in accumulation mode and are about to see another leg up, or a bull trap with a Bart Simpson pattern in the making.


I like reverse bart moves.

I am hoping for reverse bart into a power flag



man exactly that:

a reverse bart into a power flag.  with the assist from homerx10


this looks very nice indeed.




go BTC go!!

took under 30 hours to do it.

nice.

if I recall it takes time to clear.  it would be cool if we keep going up in price as he is forced to wait for cleared coins.

It is nonsense.

The ant miner L3+. can indirectly mine BTC at nicehash.

cost is about $250 on ebay.

it earns 1.50  a day

it burns 750 watts.

that is 18 kwatts a day.

it can be made quiet.

I do that and IIRC so do you and a bunch of others. But they are ugly, have wires everywhere and so on.

Thinking you are going to make a profit mining with a device like this is beyond ridiculous.
Thinking that you are going to pay a bit less to run a space heater is an acceptable answer.

If you are a gadget geek, spending a bunch of money on something like this is not out of the realm of what you do.

With all due respect to voltagegoat.com, who has products I love. Does anyone really need a $500 nixie tube bitcoin price ticker? A $20 used amazon echo 5 will do more, use less power and so on.
It's just not as cool. Same with this, it's a stupid expensive, probably difficult to configure space heater. But it mines crypto, so there is a market for it.

-Dave


But could they have tried for a better chip?

the  95th S19 chips for instance. Just one board would do 31-32th

pull 1100 watts.

set it to 800 watts use brains it would get 25-27 th

or use one s19 pro 110th board set it to 800 watts it would do 32th on low rate firmware.

I would think someone would simply use an s19 pro controller program it for lower hashrate and put it in a nice case.
